hi

guess as with all things poker there is never a straight answer

who calls blinds of 15k with 94 suited ???

well IMHO without some more info it's difficult to just write off the play as bad - yes ok at the start of a tournie or in a ring game calling the blinds to see the flop with junk is poor play

but in a tournie - and from the blinds - near the end of a tournie - any hand in the right postition against certain players might be a perfectly valid play

ok if he's a total putz then its a rubbish hand to play but clearly he must be doing something right to have got this far

if he was on the button (or late position) and fairly short staked ie. less than 150K in chips then he was IMHO flat calling to try and steal the blinds using scare cards on the flop

and with a very long shot flush draw

in order to really judge his play we need to know how he bet preflop / flop / turn & river

and also what the cards were as they came out

for him to have made a FH he must have hit something on the flop - it's all down to the betting

how many players ?

how many cards did he get to see cheap / checking etc ?

how much was his all-in ?


depends is a very important word and concept in poker
