What was this guy thinking?
 

Rewatching the 2002 WSOP highlights last night, I believe John Shipley calling $1
million with AJ against Robert Varkonyi is the worst ever play at the WSOP.
As for best play, I've seen a lot of great ones, including some amazing
laydowns, so I need to think some more.

Nominations?

What hand did he have, and what was the board/

maybe he thougth varkonyi had Q10 again?

i forget the exact nature of that hand, but it probably was a pretty weak move.

what was on the board when he called? i dont remember- be more specific please

I cant remember the board either, but I do recall that Varkonyi was playing like a maniac for 3 days, very very recklessly. The fact that he gets no respect from his fellow players speaks volumes.

if varkonyi had any other results of significance, i think that he would at least have a modicum of respect in th epoker community. unlike moneymaker, who has clearly shown skill in other tournaments, i cant think of another time that varkonyi has done something of importance.

yeah varkonyi is one of my least favorite players.... time to go add him to my list in the other thread....
