[@xtaporx]

how is that fold even possible??? how do you fold that!!!

[@Alex_3fl]

Perhaps he doesn't think airball is capable of bluffing against that size (due the perceived fold equity being close to zero). So he could have chosen that sizing in order to have an "easy" fold facing a raise. Would be super exploitable though so I'm likely wrong lol@@vivaldoreyes777

Translation for those who don't speak Mandarin. Nik told Peter, my hand is better than yours. You probably have 10s right. Is my read correct? Peter replied, yes, your read is spot on. I have 10s, but I can't fold this hand. Nik said well, that is your problem, not mine. I am representing AK with the actions preflop, so I will either continue on the turn or I will give up.

Andy's fold was world class, he is beat by 6 boats and 5 combos of flushes. 20% of hands beat him, which isn't that much, but I think he just had a world class read. These reads are what differentiates people like him and everyone else. He is a top 100 cash game player in the world for sure.

what a fold by andy... my god hes too good

[@kulasbukid]

I can break down the thought process of Andy's fold on the river. Before do Andy's bet on the river he first ask nik how much he have left. It's around 60k right? Then Andy value bet on the river with half of nik chips, Andy knows if he beat nik, nik should have only two moves FOLD or CALL, but since nik re raise all in in the river with 30k left to call for Andy to win a 150k pot, it's a big tell tell that he knows he was beat by a better hand.

The best poker player i ever knew had a saying, "The key to poker is aggression , the secret to poker is folding ". i don't know how true it is but i always remembered it .

[@jpoker9294]

The TT has 3% because Britney folded a T, which means there is only 1 out left. The actual formula with 1 card to come is (Outs * 2) +2 if you want to be more precise, which is how you arrive at the 3%. Adding the +2 on top of multiplying by 2 will always get you much closer to the true %.

[@tylermokarry9731]

he folded trips with a strong kicker getting 5 to 1 against a very loose aggressive player , really insane fold but i guess he knows that airball knows there should be no fold equity there so even if he's a maniac you can still let it go

[@dealerG]

Airball has ZERO bluffs as played. Btw, the point of check-shoving A5 isn't to get called by AQ it's to get called by 99, JJ, and the occasional flush Andy sometimes has.

[@paullentz1972]

Easy laydown....he knows that Airball aint shoving, in that situation, UNLESS he has a full house! It's only a 30k raise in a pot that had 160k in it. He's not bluffing in that situation. So yes, it's an easy fold!

Amazing hand by Nik Airball, read the man's card in his own language and told him he had AK and the old man didn't believe him lol

[@ML-sj3gi]

AQ seems great on AAJ95 but I can't help but notice you lose to AK split with AQ lost to AJ lose to A9 ,A5 and they could also have JJ 99. So, you are hoping they have AT? And you are betting at least 30k if you have a flush because that is better than AQ?

[@dealerG]

AQ is garbage once you get check-raised on the river. You're betting to get called by a worse Ace or a crying call from KJ, QJ, and JT with a diamond, but once you're check-raised it's near the bottom of range because Andy can have all the boats, flushes, and even AK as played.
