hello

anyone remember the Todd Brunson (JJ) vs Tony Korfman (55)? YouTube - Todd Brunson vs Tony Korfman

summary:
*** Todd - hole cards: JJ
*** Tony - hole cards: 55
blinds: 75/150 (not sure)

Todd raises to 450 to 600
Tony calls

*** Flop: Td 5d 8h

Todd bets 1,500
Tony calls

*** Turn: 3c

Todd bets 3,650
Tony calls

*** River: Tc

Todd bets 8,875
Tony raises 12,000 to 20,875


this flop has missed straight draw (9J) and missed flush draw
also, Todd shows strenght by betting, betting and betting, so he probably will have AT, high pair or 2 pairs

don't you think this would be a good situation to put a bigger raise, as some would do if they missed a flush draw? something like raising to 45,000

of course, you can be against TT, 88 or 66, but if you have reasons to believe that it's better to not raise at all

yes
I guess that, if he raised like 45,000, Todd would put him on a missed flush draw and call anyway

unless Tony (didn't watch he playing much) never do this kind of bluff on the river and Todd knows that

45,000 is huge and makes no sense

also imo it's not really worth putting single hands by pros like this in a vacuum for analysis since we don't know their current image, opponent's image, history of the tournament, previous personal history, etc etc
