I still think the guy, think it was someone called river Ron, who called an allin in bet on the river at a televised celeb comp in Brighton when holding just 8 high was much worse. This was at the headsup stage and both players were roughly equal in chips. It's not like they were playing for peanuts, I believe the first prize was £10,000 plus.

I think the only hand he could have betean was either a 7 or 6 high so it's not like he was calling to even beat a bluff as 99.9% of bluffs still beat him.

I remember that, against Viv Williams, still trying to work that one out, can only put it down to either a misread or, for some reason or other, a great desire to see Viv's cards.

Or they had done a deal and he didn't care if he won or lost?

That was the obvious conclusion most people came up with but apparantely river Ron never does deals. Infact someone claiming to be his poker buddie came on to blonde and stated no deal was done and Ron was still puzzzled as to how he made such a bad call.

If it was a misread it was a damn expensive one

Gold had been pushing the table around for a long time. Bad timing not bad play by Richard

I agree, you gotta make the odd move with mince when you think your opponent is weak.

Any instance where you get the chips in first, can't really qualify as worst play ever.

i got called by 10 high in a live comp on a dangerous board which included an Ace and 2 pictures. She gave it a dwell 1st as well, that was funny.

I disagree, an utg the raise should be given some respect. He has to make a move soon with the cost of an orbit really eating his stack but putting a move on the one player who is most likely to call him, seems a little crazy to me. I bet he regrets it.

If he has decided to move his chips in this round then he has 5 more hands to find a better spot surely?

Can't remember exactly how the hand(s) went down, but the Neville Southall hand(s) from the World Cup themed tourney must take some beating!! I'm sure El Blondie blogged about it!
