Polk on why THAT fold was a mistake
We round-up some stories you may have missed including why Doug Polk did not like Ian Steinman's fold and Gus Hansen back in the big game.
Polk rips apart the fold of the year
Ian Steinman's fold of a set if Kings at the WPT this month has earned a lot of plaudits and even went viral in the mainstream media, but not everybody is convinced it was a great move.
Last week Doug Polk broke down the hand and gave an alternative perspective, suggesting not only that it might have been a long term mistake but also that it highlights how being a nit is the biggest problem most players have today:
Just 8lbs away...
It may be remembered as the most epic prop bet in poker history, nobody gave Jaime Staples a chance of being within a 1lb of his brother within a year, but here we are.
With less than two weeks to go, last week Jaime was just 8lbs away from his outlandish goal. Can he do it?
Gus is back in the big action
It looks like in 2018 will see a considerable comeback from the Great Dane Gus Hansen, who last week was back playing in Bobby's Room:
He also was the one to watch last week on Poker After Dark, splashing around in big pots like this:
Gus was always one of the most prolific high stakes players in the game but had been missing in action for quite some time following his heavy and much publicised online losses.
Is Gus a permanent fixture again in poker? Was Doug right about that fold? Can Jaime Staples do it? Let us know in the comments:
