[@Mikelarry993]

I honestly started to notice lately that when pros start to deconstruct and reconstruct the kinds of hands someone could be bluffing as a re-raise all in on the river that they generally more times then not get fixated on the bluffs and end up calling more times then not because GTO teaches you to think like that and by doing so your mostly talking yourself into a call. I do it myself sometimes like I got the A of clubs blocking full houses and a flush for example but we tend to forget it's hard to be bluffing in such spots perfect example the 87 against Keating.

V tough because after Rahul's river bet , he's getting 2:1. Does Keating bluff more than 33% in this situation, yes...

[@dannyMCDelight]

Do the dealers keep all the tips, or do they share with support staff after the stream? I'm sure I saw Magic received $10K casino chips from several players, and Steve gave about $5000 cash to dealers when he quit the game Thursday.

[@blackdragon8505]

What game isnt better with Alan in it.

[@randomnerd1986]

Rahoul forgets the very beginning of the hand. It's a 5 way single raised pot. He basicly plays against the best of 4 hands on the flop that also was willing to pay a turn pot bet. Not even Keating bluffs here. But I guess he plays more with him. GG

[@alistairwillock7266]

But that's part of the reason why Rahul ended up discounting T9ss - because that's a prime squeezing hand from Keating. However, the reason Keating didn't squeeze is because he was really suspicious of Stanley Tang's flatting from SB with two left to act... including Keating closing the action. So both Keating and Tang's hand ranges are _strengthened_ by the pre-flop action.

I would normally agree however any flopped sets would’ve raised flop or turn and maybe even just flat call river not check raise all in. And he prob thinks 9T offsuit doesn’t call that big turn bet.

When Rahul got even, I was very much hoping he would just leave the table. Alan is a very scary player.

[@utb1239]

Enjoyed Rahul in the game, excellent action player. 👏

Why ruin the video by saying who won it?!

[@DMalek]

Same thought, so dumb

[@nfc14g]

We need a heart rate monitor on the players. Even little motions like 8:41, Keating 100% sees that in his peripheral vision and has to not react but for sure beleives that a grab for the cards means a fold and he's lost out on an extra 800k. Many actions like this, it would be so interesting!

Alan Keating -sheer class act on and off the table

[@rediscoveryrecords1348]

As much as i have seen Keating, i know that wasnt a bluff. Keating doesnt usual li y go zero to 100 aggressiveness in a hand. Unless he hit and was doing that to someone who hasnr played him before. Keating is awesome

[@ineedyourwifi]

The best poker player alive rite now & im not talking about just this hand. If you’ve watched him previously he wins the same way he loses gracefully.

[@330miggs]

Let's give it up for SOTO this week + the Amazing Commentary 👏 👏👏

[@AgentCodyBankz]

intense without commentary! Keating makes it feel like a scene from a classic movie

[@karlcox2939]

The bet was totally understandable but the call, what can he beat there? That's the moment to give up. Which bluff is still in there playing like that? Rather a flopped set or the rivered nuts.

[@lexbraxman9270]

no idea why Rahul so easily dismissed his Ts9s read. As if he wouldn't call pot on the turn with that. Such a weird bias away from that specific and most likely hand

[@wesyoung9150]

Rahul brought the action and took that L like a champ.

[@TraumaER]

Keating is the best in the world today!

[@tsifsa2000]

How can you make that call?

[@yanrenthungmurry7270]

U ve never watch him play then, he bluffs alot

[@RobPostal]

Rahul said it - should have checked.

[@walden6272]

There's a saying, if you call it's over, if you check it's over. If you bet, then your opponent can shove, are you prepare for it. If not then better to check.

[@yanmingzhang420]

@@walden6272 that's how you miss a ton of value in poker

[@ctnelsoncar]

no way check here. Bet and fold to raise. If it's bluff, nice bluff. Surely, calling a shove is fine also

[@terminallydrunk1900]

Jesus said it once too

[@alistairwillock7266]

@@ctnelsoncar Because it's Keating, who can _absolutely_ find a bluff there? Possibly. But given what the pot had grown to, and how it got there (nearly pot-sized bet+call on the turn), I think that Rahul needed to weight T9ss higher. His initial breakdown was almost dead-on, and Keating's probably only continuing with his best draws to that turn sizing. Yes, even Keating, because SPR is shrinking fast when Rahul bets near pot on the turn, reducing his implied odds. I think that bet-call to a click-back makes sense, and bet-fold to a jam. If he's pulling that bluff at that point of the night, God bless him. That game is so juicy that you'll find better spots.

[@WalkingStreets]

Keating should just retire now.

[@pawa____4993]

maybe choose different title so we dont know the result of the hand already?

[@crocodile1313]

Alan Keating is the kind of poker pro that I feel proud rooting for. He is always a gentleman and conducts himself with total class whether he wins a million of loses a million.

[@Nimbus12]

Good chunk of my work life wages there. Dang. One hand.
