i dont think that guy is a plant at all. from the times that i have seen him play, he has done pretty damn well in high stakes HU limit holdem. i cant say anything about his abilities at no limit, but i dont see anything that is that fishy in hi splay here.
he sensed weakness, and pushed. he ran into a legit hand, it happens all the time. especially in a shorthanded game, you are going to see moves like this.
from the play that i have seen from him, he is a good player. i havent seen enough to say that he is an expert, or that he is world class, but he has absolutely held his own playing HU against both Ivey and D'Agostino, taking a good chunk of change from both of them.
anyways, if the site was using plants, wouldnt they have those players lose to the pros? it would just build the mystique of the pros, which is why so many people go to the site anyways. i know that jacksjr lost this hand, but overall i think he is doing pretty well against the pros.
