Me too. I played against her IRL before she was well known. Vegas, Caesars. 5/10$. Back in 2008-2009. Omg, she was SO acid. I raised her ONCE, and I did it SILENTLY. I literally didn't say a SINGLE WORD. She got SO offended, "OKAY TOUGH GUY! I CALL!" "I CHECK TO THE TOUGH GUY!" Omg she was SO gross. Then, like an hour later, the flop came 6-7-8 and I had 99 (I opened the pot preflop under the gun or second to act, she flat-called middle/late position.) Anyways, I bet the flop & turn, and didn't improve. An ace hit the river and it froze the action. She had 10-10, played it pretty slow, she won the pot, and OMG SHE WAS SO happy with herself. It was literally about the most STANDARD POT/HAND you could imagine, but you would have thought she just made the greatest play in 50 years. It's like she hates the world because she's a woman or something.

See, thats why I thought she had an easier choice to fold that hand. Ruffin was an amateur, and in my opinion, that makes him much less likely to be bluffing, and when he moves chips, is much more likely to have it. He even acted out of turn like an excited kid on Christmas morning. I could see calling Antonio, but not Ruffin or a Laliberte type who would be terrified to bluff at that table.

1:20 "he must be wondering if somebody has a bigger heart draaaah" :)

7:18 Johnny had to put his hand over his mouth to contain the laughter of seeing the absolute lunacy of that shove with King high. 😂😂

Long Live Norm McDonald!!! Hilarious commentary!!!

Bill Klein was definitely the best businessman player in HSP. All the others who featured then like Laliberte, Ruffin, Perkins etc were such fishes even by the standards of the past but Bill definitely showed some good understanding of the spots.

Brilliant bluff by Klein in the last hand. He knew that he had credibly represented a set (99, 22 or JJ) on every street. On flop he raised Croak and everyone just called. As an aside, I think Croak should've shoved there seeing as how many draws there are and the only hands he loses to are 99 and 22 (or the unlikely single combo of JJ). He bet out on the turn (ballsy move with a straight completing) and called Galfond's raise - a credible line for a set worried about the straight. I believe he knew on the turn that besides the fact that he can win or chop if he gets his straight on the river and win with his flush, he could bluff on a board pairing river. And on the river, that's exactly what he did!

@zizoumonk10

I understand why Galfond folded but at the same time there was a missed flush draw on the board and he didn’t seem to give that possibility any mind

@Crooky0

@@zizoumonk10 He probably didn't think an amateur would call that size of bet on the turn with just a flush draw. Flop, sure, but with just one more card to hit, that's a lot to call. Honestly, as soon as the board paired on the river, the play made sense for Klein to make and Galfond was naturally worried. Just a really unlucky river card for Galfond to feel like his straight wins against a large bet.

On the flop you raise it, on the turn you dont shove as the straight draw got there and once you have your full house you lead out big again. Now im not saying it is a snap fold for galfond but it is not unreasonable for him to give an amateur credit like that.
