No play tonight, but I feel a little bit better after catching JP Kelly play a hand in a very strange way in one of the SCOOP events last night. It was 6-handed and I believe was in the highest buy-in of the three tournaments. He raised UTG, was 3bet from later position and called the 3bet. The flop had two aces and he check called. I can"t remember how the action went on the turn, but when the river had been dealt, the board contained two aces,two fives and a possible flush. On the river he again check/called and lost the pot when his opponent turned over A 10. Aside from flat calling a 3 bet then check/calling the same opponent twice on such a scary board, I have absolutely no idea what he put his opponent on that made him think he was winning. It cost half his stack. Maybe as I"m only a humble amateur and he is a world class pro, maybe there is some genius-level thinking in his play that my poor little brain can"t handle, but if someone had done the same in a $10 tourney, I"d have been rolling around laughing.
