Trapping, 3 bet and I think a 5 bet was said somewhere Trapping refers to the player having a better hand than their opponent and baiting them in with either small bets, or making it appear that they have a weaker hand than they do. Don't quote me on this but I think 3bet/5bet is betting 3x-5x times the amount mentioned, usually for the blinds or pot. | ||

Thanks, didn't know that :/, all that time watching WSOP and all I've learnt is that Norman Chad has as many ex-wives as I have fingers  . | ||

I hope he's just commentating with the other bad guys early on, and they keep Lon/Esfandiari together for the latter 2/3rds of the programming. | ||

Haven't been watching much where he has been commentating. I guess i will have my opinion later tonight. Should be insightful cast though. For obvious reasons.  | ||

I actually like the guys that were on before Lon and Esfandiari. Anyone know their names? One of them was also a player that had gotten knocked out previously. | ||

"Day 5 will start tomorrow, Saturday, at 12 noon sharp PST with some wiggle room in the schedule. The schedule states that the field will play four or five levels. Tournament officials will make the call depending on the rate of bust-outs." | ||

Never watched poker at all. Go to where? If he wants to win, 377 players infront of him. If he wants to get to the next money stage/place, less than 20 players. He is already in the moneys, which would earn him around 31k right now. | ||
