You will not get 15-20bb/a00 at the tables I were at, people were not throwing money anywhere post flop. The three largest pots were very "reasonable":
#1
AJs vs KQ. Board is KKQTx giving KQ the nut full and AJs the royal. Are you not going broke there with KQ?
#2
This is mine. Open raise small in EP and he calls with 43s in LP, which I think is reasonable. Flop is A56s and I make a CB. He calls with his straight draw, which I once again think is perfectly reasonable since he can either beat my AK/AA with a sneaky straight or rep the flush if it hits. Turn is a 9, I check and he checks, river is a 7. I push, he thinks forever and calls. I happened to have T8s for the stone cold nuts here but I can't really blame him for calling.
#3
QQ vs AKs. AK raises, QQ re-raises and AK flat calls. Post flop wasn't brilliantly played but they were both short-ish and the pot is big so...
I didn't see anyone call off their stack with TPNK or go all-in with middle-pair. I only saw tight, solid ABC play. It's beatable, either by good LAG or just TAG with better post flop play, but Phil Ivey couldn't get a 15bb/100 against this crowd.
