Late Night Poker (Rich, the pro's know best )
I've just watched the latest heat of LNP, hosted by 1 of sky's topish presenters Rich 
John Duthie (KK) v Jeff Lisandro (A6)
Lisandro led out and Duthie raised oop, Lisandro called for about 1/3 stack
flop came 67Q rainbow, both chk'd
river 8, which opened up str8 and flush draws, again Duthie chk'd oop, Lisandro chk's
turn 3 ( no flush) and Duthie makes a superb value bet of 3100 into 5K pot, Lisandro calls
Barney Boatman, Rich's co " John Duthie played that great"
Total Bull 100% disagree with that comment, John Duthie played that terrible, he let a pre flop caller catch up x 2, If an A or 6 or a 3 flush or 4 card straightening hit the river he would not have a clue where he was, as it was he lucked out on a 3 and got paid. The river bet was y he's a pro , but the flop and turn were shockin
earlier in the heat Lisandro played (AQ) slow v Duthie (36) who hit his 6 on the turn for a set, and yeah as Barney say's, he played that great 2 ?????????????????
Guess that's how top pro's do it
Comments welcome
Always a pleasure

63 v AQ.
Lisandro played this terrible. UTG limp = bad imo.
Checks flop, deserved to lose for that alone, no way in hell would i ever check top pair, its only one pair, let me know where i am and ill assess from there.
John Duthie is one of the most astute & intelligent players you could ever wish to encounter. NEVER underestimate his ability. However, I expect he makes the occasional mistake, as most of us do.
PS - you appear to have got the Turn & River confused in your Post.
Don't forget you were watching about 15 hands out of the entire 90-100 from the game. I would say this, John Duthie played absolutely brilliantly from the very first hand where he took chip command and never let it go. He is a seriously good player.
Re- the KK v A6 against Lissandro: Duthie had been so aggressive throughout the game with junk hands that when he picked up a monster he obv decided to go trapping. A risky strategy but I'm sure his check on the turn was because he believed Lissando would fire out. His bet on the end was probably the absolute maximum he could have extracted at that point, and as such was a brilliant bet.
So, it's possible that Barney meant that Duthie had played the river great, rather than the whole hand. I agree though, that he was taking an awful risk slow-playing those kings, but then he had a monster chip lead and could afford to take a gamble.
I'm not sure if I could have done what Annette Obrestad did and literally flip a coin for her tournament. That's high-rolling poker players for you I guess!
