He relies on the "all in" as his biggest weapon, but he overvalues the play. He knows that when they are sitting 700+ BB's deep that the 'all in' will get people to muck almost everything except the nuts. I'm sure he is able to bully a lot of opponents who likely aren't as sufficiently rolled as him (if it is the case that he has a tremendous amount of money). It's awesome when people have the stones to call him!

Tesla lied on the 2nd to last hand. He claimed that he misread his hand, thinking he had a straight. How is that possible when after the turn he had 2,3,6, and 8? He was nowhere near having a straight, nobody misreads their hand by 2 cards. He was embarrassed because he got caught bluffing, so he played it off by pretending he misread his hand. He's the kind of guy that likes to bet big, playing the big shot, but can't handle losing very well.

Respectfully He claimed to misread his hand and believed he had a straight. Motivation to lie would be not out of any sense of shame or embarrassment. It's to do creating doubt in his opponents mind about his bluff catching call. So Tara's can get only the minimum confidence or momentum from the showdown. It's damage control.

Taras is definitely improving as a poker player. He was playing more like Tesla when he first appeared on the Lodge.
