A Great Laydown by Romanello?

Undoubtably one of the best ever televised laydowns, and pleased to see it done by a Brit. I guess this truely is a testament to the differences between live and online poker, and possibly the difference between most tournaments and the WSOP Main Event.

Folding JJ's full in this exact spot online is not only near impossible but i'm not even sure that
it would be considered that good?

I wonder if Roberto (who is a very good player) considered laying it down for the cameras? If its wrong its not such a big deal, if he's right everyone in the poker world will remember it for a longtime to come. It will go down as a memorable "play" in WSOP history rather than a memorable "blow up", arugument or drunken display that currently dominates the WSOP top 10 moments to remember.

What do I think? I think he layed it down because he definately thought he was beat. Villain is a bit of a donk so his reads are likely to be strong. I think even if Geller doesn't show he knows that he will "see it on TV later" but I also think that live players are more used to making these big folds. Online players play multable tournaments in a day and don't have to travel far for each one. Also they are averaging between 100-1000$ where as live players average 1000-10,000$ so theres more reward in doing so.

I bet if Geller did NOT show and the HH was posted on 2p2 90%+ would be advocating a call.

With about 4 live tournaments under my bet this year and 3 big ones coming up I should be looking to once again adjust my game to these sort of tests....

I am having flashbacks of last years EPT London where I was unable to fold KK against AA on a 5 high flop when Villain smoothed my 4bet preflop in position. I was able to check to him but unable to believe that I could ever lay this down against the Online LAG kid. A big lesson for me and hopefully this laydown will act as a timely reminder.
