WPT Hands

One of the skills of the pro poker player is to know when take risks and when to pull back. But no one can be right all the time, and in this hand we see what happens when a player sticks around too long.

When a player makes a backdoor hand that means it took him two cards to get it and they both come in the final two slots, fourth and fifth street. In this hand a sneak backdoor straight won it for one of the two pros left.

The two pros left knew each other well, and it was an even match of skill. It would mean either luck or a too many mistakes for one to beat the other.

Sometimes it is a mistake to underplay a strong hand, but then other times it can make a pro poker player a lot of money. The trick is really knowing your opponent and what they are likely to do in a particular situation. In this hand we see one pro expertly play another.

Amit was a fantastic pro poker player, but John seemed to be destined to win. Time after time he out played his younger opponent, but just when it seemed Amit would be out once and for all he would manage to double up and stick around.
