How poker is supposed to be played

Watch this hand and make any kind of judgements you want. But know that this is a cash game. When the commentators are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars, they aren't tournament chips, but it is true cash value.

What would you do if you were Dwan?
What would you do if you were Eastgate?
What would you do if you were Greenstein?



At first you might ask why in the world would Eastgate or Greenstein fold such big hands to such a loose player. Then you might say how lucky Dwan was with just pure aggression, and he might not have even known how strong his opponents' hands were.

....But did you notice how Dwan, at the end of the hand knew exactly where he stood in the hand and even made a side bet with Doyle Brunson (I believe) about who had the best hand (Eastgate).

So Dwan knew exactly where he was in the hand, and went with his read that he could get the others off their hands.

Eastgate was worried about his kicker. But I will never be sure as I can't get the information directly from him.

But we can get the information directly from Greenstein as his recently talked about it on PokerRoad. Follow the link below to get an idea of how a world class poker player dissects a hand.
