    Default Interesting hand - Spirit Rock

    Well, as most people in the online poker community know, Spirit Rock is about the most feared no limit player around. There is currently an interesting heads up going on. A hand just took place that I just can not understand.FullTiltPoker Game #195281043: Table Kennedy (6 max) - $50/$100 - No Limit Hold'em - 17:44:12 ET - 2005/08/24Seat 1: Spirit Rock ($18,056.50)Seat 3: Phil Ivey ($18,835), is sitting outSeat 5: kwilson ($12,249)kwilson posts the small blind of $50Spirit Rock posts the big blind of $100The button is in seat #5*** HOLE CARDS ***kwilson raises to $300Spirit Rock calls $200*** FLOP *** [2h 6d Kd]Spirit Rock checkskwilson bets $600Spirit Rock raises to $2,400kwilson raises to $6,000Spirit Rock raises to $17,756.50, and is all inkwilson calls $5,949, and is all inSpirit Rock shows [Ac 3s]kwilson shows [Ks 2c]Uncalled bet of $5,807.50 returned to Spirit Rock*** TURN *** [2h 6d Kd] [7h]*** RIVER *** [2h 6d Kd 7h] [9c]Spirit Rock shows Ace King highkwilson shows two pair, Kings and Twoskwilson wins the pot ($24,497.50) with two pair, Kings and Twoschipdynamite (Observer): nh*** SUMMARY ***Total pot $24,498 | Rake $0.50Board: [2h 6d Kd 7h 9c]Seat 1: Spirit Rock (big blind) showed [Ac 3s] and lost with Ace King highSeat 3: Phil Ivey is sitting outSeat 5: kwilson (small blind) showed [Ks 2c] and won ($24,497.50) with two pair, Kings and TwosI just don't get it. Even if the guy had 23o bottom pair he would still pretty well have odds to call on his 2 pair draw if he put Spirit on AK for example. I could understand it if kwilson had say... 10,000 left. But comeon!

    I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss their play as fish-like. They are probably thinking so many levels deeper than us, that us mere mortals can't understand what's going on.

    I actually did death stare. Took $1000 off Ivey, remembered I was a lucky fish, and ran away with my tale wagging.

    Default Interesting hand - Spirit Rock

    i was watching that yesterday, there was a table were phil and spirit rock were playing HU and another were they both were playing in a ring game, some of those plays sprit makes are a little crazy but they all payed off, phil would hit a flop with TPTK or 2pair and lead out spirit would raise it, and phil would go all in, and spirit would just have a flush draw or a gut shot and he would hit, he ended up cleaning out phil within about 5 hands that i saw.Also mark, some people watching were saying spirit rock is prahlad friedman??Daniel
