Great Quote

Watching the WPT rerun this week. I must have missed this the first time around.

Antonius has been pushing regularly, he pushes with A2, Doyle calls with 44 which holds up.

Patrick: "How can you make that call?"
Doyle: "How can I make that call? How can you make that bet?

(pause)

Doyle: "This is poker, not solitaire."

I love Doyle. He doesn't say too much usually, but damn that's funny.

LOL @ anyone questioning Dolly's play.

LOL @ you for LOLing at Patrick Antonius.

Let the two of them play HU for long enough, and there is no question in my mind that Patrick would end up with all the money.

(But it's still a good quote)

LOL @ you for LOLing at me for LOLing at Dolly for... wait, I'm confused.

No question in your mind? Even if they're playing live? You think that kid is really that good?

Yes, I do. I think he's Top 10 in the world material (of known pros). Doyle is not.

I think you guys are looking too much into the hand, but i would think that it was a decision made on previous play. If Antonius is pushing regularly then maybe doyle just decided to make a stand, 44 is a favorite of any random hand. 57% favorite against any random two cards. I dont know how calling with 44 is calling with crap but okay.....I dont like Antonius' push and I dont like doyles call, but in no way can you fault doyles call. Now saying Antonius is good is a different story, i dont doubt he is good but i dont think this play is at all.

Do yourself a favor and don't get in the habit of calling off your stack with 44 in tourneys, ok? Seriously.

I know this was a WPT event and the blinds get crazy and there is lots of shoving, etc, etc... I'm not saying it was a bad play by Doyle. But I am saying that the logic you just spouted off in the post above is really, really ugly.
