Bounty Hunter why i called with 8 9 suited on final table

The other thing to bear in mind is that Ed doesn't see everything that has happened in every hand,  all he can do is make a judgement on the info available.

He criticised a hand of mine once, I was small stacked, AK suited raised it pre flop and folded to a 3 bet from the table chip leader.  Ed's view was that was my spot and I should have shoved.  As it turns out it was my very first Primo, I was determined I wanted to cash in my first one and we were on the bubble,  My objective was to cash not bomb out on the bubble,  

I e-mailed Ed at the show and he said that in those circumstances I made the right call.  Not the one he would have made but right for my circumstances and objectives 

I can only re-iterate  what the others have said,  Ed is a great player and a great analyser of the game,  dont take his comments as a personal affront, take them in the manner in which they were given , as someone trying to help you with your game.  Not that you need much help  Nice Cash ;o)

If you think Ed is harsh then watch Neil Channing covering the god awful play in the rival-site SnG Challenge (Ch 166 early hours)

I fold all day, but devils advocate here

prob around 40% equity + (I assume) big bounty to win + doesnt appear to think he has advantage over other players
=
not quite as bad as everyone says?

I have shared a table with you in the past and you, to put it frankly need to work on your game. I've often see you call with poor holdings like that hand like night and it really didn't suprise me to see you call there. You say you must be a good player but a look at your sharkscope graph indicates differently to me. I mean that away the 2 really big tournament finishes and it would be seriously low.
