Was it a weak “online” play on Friedman’s part or did he really think that Ferguson had the case ace?" There's no reason for him to do anything more than call there. Lets look at his options.. Fold? - Nope Raise? - Pointless -At best Jesus has a K, and they split -At worst.. he's got the A and that's all she wrote Call? - Best option .. there's almost 0 chance he has Jesus beat but a good chance he'll split the chips already in. “How do you not go bust there?

It's free money, you can play with just the bonus. At the Cryptos the best way to do it is in the casino. It’s free money, you can play with just the bonus.

Make sure you read up on Interpoker's new requirements... less hands, but bigger rake needed to "count" as a raked hand. Sadly, I have thought about hitting up the Cryptos as well.

When the King hit I was pretty sure he was going to go bust, but he had a good read on Jesus, you could see it all the way, he suspected the Ace from the flop. I don't think it was weak to call at that point, on the other hand, he was so low on chips, you could probably argue that he has to move in there anyway. Good episode anyway.
