Im guess im pretty sad but i was watching the final table of the sunday rebuy (109r) on pokerstars as some great players were playing in it. It got down to three handed with Dragonwarrior who i think is canadian pro, monsterdong who is very good aussie pro and of course djk123 who i believe is the most successful player in scoop/wcoop history, blinds are 40000/80000 dragon warrior has like 2.9 million, djk123 has like 2.5 million and monster dong has like 1.8 million.

Dragon Warrior opens utg and djk123 quickly 3 bet shoves all his chips with 107 suited, Dragonwarrior thinks for a moment and then calls with AQ0 and wins when board bricks out, so djk123 is out third for 25k (not bad!) but is this why he is such a successful player because shorthanded he is three bet shoving air hands when stacks are not that deep?

I imagine in his career he has shoved in these spots many times and accumulated a lot of chips when his opponents fold there hands quite often. is his logic that if dragonwarrior folds he picks up a lot of chips uncontested and if he calls then he will have like 40% equity a lot of the time.

Is this a play that other players would make short handed at a big money final table? who could say he is wrong he has millions i think, seems like incredible player.

Id be interested to hear TPE members thoughts on his play here. Is it almost standard or not at all.
