Tiffany Williamson...
Wow.
Watching her play on tonight's WSOP episode was...... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, right: PAINFUL. That hand where she thought about calling all in for 5 minutes with KJs only to get timed out - are you kidding me??? Painful. BTW, I was on again tonight. But I'm tired of giving Blibbity money, so no contest for finding me this week. Just bragging rights... |

from reading some of the cardplayer coverage, and the talk at some other forums, she apparently took a lot longer than 5 minutes to make that call. something closer to the neighborhood of 10-15.
and apparently she was doing that the whole time. i can understand taking some time when you have a marginal decision, but with KJs? that is just awful. i believe that she then pulls the race card and says that people were annoyed with her because she is black (and female to boot). just idiotic. maybe if she didnt play like a donkey and slow the tournament to a crawl it wouldnt have been an issue. |

I really hope she was the Worst player in that final 60 or whatever they were at. They kept mentioning how she made alot of marginal calls and was running good the past 3 days, and sure enough she got right back at around 2 million with that weak all in push with A7os vs. QQ just to flop her A and make her think she made the right play.

I loved when the guy that had to sit there for 10 minutes with his aces then wanted to put her on the clock immedaitely on one of the next hands when she asked for a chip count on Raymer. Too funny!

I didn't watch her at all during the WSOP (until she got knocked out), but I remember the buzz that she wasn't a very good player. I had no idea quite how bad she was though until I saw last night's coverage. Yikes...
Did you hear Tim Phan comment how two people had been busted while she was deciding if she was going to make that call (all in with KJ!!!!)? I can't even imagine what could have been going through her head. "Hey, maybe this guy is risking all of his chips on a complete bluff, or maybe he's only got a middle pair. Sure, I'm probably dominated here, but I might be a coinflip!!!" All I could think about was all the worthy women who had been eliminated, sitting at home, watching her terrible play. "Thanks for setting us back a few years. Appreciate it!" |

If you suck..
If you suck, why not stall, and move up in the ranks? The stallers hurt the good players cause they can not see enough blinds to make money. Maybe that was her goal. Or else she is stupid.

I just saw the episode last night --- oh man what a horrible player.
To see players this bad get that far in the main event of the world series is disgusting. It makes me wish my best game wasnt hold em, and I could play 7 card stud, omaha, triple draw or something else to the level at which I play hold em.... much more skill involved and harder for fish.... |

See... that's just it. 5600+ players. I think it's just a matter of mathematics that SOMEONE is going to get extremely lucky and get much farther than they deserved (to the final 15, for example).
This isn't a very good example, but it should illustrate my point: Say we line up 5600 people and make the flip coins in pairs to see who would be eliminated. After one flip, 2800 people would eliminated. After 2 flips, we'd be down to 1400 people. And so on: 3 - 700 4 - 350 5 - 175 6 - 88 7 - 44 8 - 22 9 - 11 I'll stop there. To make the final 11 players in this event, someone would need to win NINE straight coinflips! Go ahead and grab a coin and tell me how long it takes you to flip heads nine times in a row. It's not easy, but as I just illustrated, starting with 5600 players, ELEVEN of them were going to pull it off (without even once flipping tails and starting over, I might add). This, my friends, is how I explain how Tiffany Williamson got so deep. With a field that large, SOMEONE was bound to get extremely lucky... and she was that someone. |
