I thought I would post and correct the Blondepoker sight. My name is Anthony Martin and I played the recent DTD £300 Feb' tournament having finished 12th in the January tournament. At the beggining of level 8 I was sat with 40000 chips which was about average as the blinds were 500-1000. Alan Stearn was sat to my left in the BB as I was in the SB. There was a MP flat caller and as I looked at my cards I saw A9o, I called as well. Alan Stearn raised to 3000. Both the caller and myself called the raise.
Now the flop came A, 9, 3.. perfect for a check which I did Alan Stearn bet 3000 the other player called and I went AI. Now after great deliberation Alan after telling himself I had two pair called the AI for his tourney life. The other player folded. As I turned over my two pair he groaned and showed AJo. Now to me this is an apalling call, how he thought he was in front to make the call is beyond me. If he thought I was putting my tournament life on the line with anything less than two pair well forgive me but I am not having it. His reaction when the Jack hit the turn was equally bad shouting 'yes' and thumping the table.
Blonde poker reported this in their live reporting as though we both got it in on an equal basis as such. No, he made a terrible call and got rewarded for his bad play. He then went on to finish in 4th place and collected £10,000, probably forgetting his bad play and sportsmanship. Just to put the record straight
You also say he said you had 2 pair and still called with a guy to act afterwards. I noticed this at dtd last time I played where people were saying all sorts of shit before folding/calling in multiway pots.
Is this a dtd thing or can you say what you like? I raised on a flop in position and a guy basically stated that he was folding middle pair with one guy to act. Should I have said something or is that all cool?
