Mike Sexton vs Andy Bloch- Uber tight fold?

[Dean Banana P]

wsop 10k pot limit.


Sexton in BB with 7s 6s for 40k bloch on button raise to 110k with 10s 10d
Sexton calls

pot 265k

flop 8d 2s 6c

bloch bets 125k and Sexton does the smart thing and comes along.

pot 510k

turn 7d

Sexton leads for 325k


Bloch reraises 'all in' to be corrected to "repot". sexton thinks for 10 seconds, and folds.




uber tight? what range is sexton putting bloch on? 2 2 or 8 8??

I haven't seen this yet but that does sound very tight. If you're going to play 76s out of blinds and turn two pair and still fold, I don't see the point of playing 76s in the first place.

There are two other factors.

Image - Mike knows that Andy sees him as ultra-tight, so when Andy comes over the top, knowing that Mike is ultra-tight, I guess he figures him for an absolute monster.

Stacks - I don't know how deep they are but I imagine that they were pretty deep, meaning that Mike can get away from this spot and still be in good shape, rather than being forced to commit his entire stack.

Still seems strange...

bloch chipleader 3.2, sexton 1.8

Weird hand.... Knowing how tight sexton is, a re-raise with 10-10 here seems a bit spewy.

In saying that, Sexton would know his own image and can't possibly think Bloch re-raised him with 88, 66 or 22. There must have been some stuff going on in previous hands which would have led Sexton to fold, otherwise I don't understand it.

[PimpedHerOut]

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw that hand. Was pretty weird.
Ironic that Sexton ended up busting out in 4th with 10-10 AIPF a little later on.

Him and Bloch were both nits...

Good to see Medic win a well-deserved bracelet.

Sexton could be putting him on a c-bet with 9-10 and when he makes 2 pair with bloch potentially hitting his gutshot, Sexton fires for information.

He must have picked up something and decided to find a better spot.

However I really dislike the play, because if you're going to be that amount on the turn aren't you really trying to induce a bluff or for an overpair/top pair/draw to move all-in over the top? Which Bloch did, but sexton whimpered out . . . confused!!
