@DaftyBoi412 I do :) years and years ago I was watching him play on one of the smaller tables of a big tournament and he went all in against an amateur, the amateur called, beat Hellmuth, and instead of leaving he stood there for 5minutes telling the amateur they didn't play their hand the way they're suppose to and how wrong the amateur was. I was begging the guy to say something like, "I play my game, if I played your game I'd lose" or "if I'm playing my hand wrong and won what does that make you...other than a loser?"

[@Jivvi]

​@@DaftyBoi412 Hellmuth gets mad when anyone doesn't play a hand _exactly_ how he would've played it. It's massive blind spot for him sometimes, because he just can't put someone on a hand that he wouldn't have called with.

[@DaftyBoi412]

@@Jivvi Yeah, especially since poker has evolved massively since he was in his prime, and his playstyle is pretty outdated. I've seen him "scolding" really good players playing hands really well against him, purely because he didn't understand what they were doing. It's kind of embaressing tbh.

I’ve played with Barney a few times and he is a great guy. So happy for him. I was a poker dealer and I’ve dealt to Afriat and that guy is a jerk. I thought he was a mobster and/or an owner of the casino I was dealing at because he was annoyed at a player and said something like “do you know who I am? Say another thing and I will have you bleeping** carried out in the chair you are sitting in”. The other player was out of line, but the arrogance this guy has is immeasurable. Again, congrats Barney. 🎉🎉Great call with the J9. You were exactly right the kicker didn’t matter. Either he had the stones or wiffed. Barney took us all to school with that hand.

[@dexter6447]

Would you prefer he checks back? He doesn’t really have many other natural bluffs. He shouldn’t play ace highs like this and he should give up like other kx

[@TheNow_Now]

@@dexter6447 I just think front door diamonds is like the worst possible hand to bluff with here, you block there auto folds. He should have a number of other bluffs here, like 9Ts/QTs/A4cc/A5cc, that would be better as they unblock auto folds. Also not a spot there needs to be that many bluffs, since his value range is so narrow for three streets, maybe just over pairs, 88/JJ/AJ

[@dexter6447]

@@TheNow_Now fair but he does block a lotta kj qj that could be hero calling. I think Barney was pretty obviously getting sticky with a J for several reasons and those are some of his only calls (even if he’d be leaning more to a fold w the diamond in his hand). I just think Eric read the situation v well and made a good bluff that shouldn’t really be getting called by j9

[@TheNow_Now]

​@@dexter6447 maybe, but I don't think boatman has very many good hands here that get to the river in this manner. what hands does he get here with that aren't check/raised at some point? They are all like one pair hands. AJ maybe even raises flop at some frequency. So if he doesn't call with J9, what does he call with, just QJ/KJ? J9 is not the best bc it blocks T9s and Q9s, but I think it makes for a pretty decent call. I don't think its the craziest call ever either like Afrait was making it out to be, but in the context it was just a big hand that really shifted the momentum of the whole tournament and caused a tantrum. But top pair is close to top of range from Boatman's perspective, as hand played out.

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

100% right, this is a combo he needs to give up on at the river

He actually had two glaring tells as soon as he shoved. He gluped in a way you could easily tell it was a stress reaction and not anything else.

[@MaydayAggro]

He's the passive-aggressive Phil Hellmuth.

[@tvtvtvtv98]

I wouldn't even call it a hero call. He raised early, but the range for Afriat could be huge in this situation. Now, after the flop he tosses out $250k. Top pair easily comes along on that bet. On the turn, he bets out 750k into a 980k pot after the 2 of clubs comes. Ask yourself, what hand did the 2 of clubs help? Pocket 2's. Because he didn't open with jack-2. He could have 8's or j's, that hit a set on turn, but there is a strong indication that he has a drawing hand with that bet on the turn. The 2 of spades comes on the river meaning the diamond flush missed and the potential backdoor clubs missed. But clubs and straight draws were unlikely unless he has 9-10 suited in which case he might of opened depending on the player. I suppose A-KQJ might be betting(especially j) on the flop. But the open, the cards on the flop, and the 250k bet feels like someone on a draw who wants to take the pot down. The 750k bet after a 2 didn't make any sense. What story is he trying to tell. Then, a second two that misses all the draws comes, and he jams. Sure, a better kicker with the jack like a-j, or k-j, or q-j could be winning, but the betting said otherwise. The fact is, I would feel like I am winning that hand 75% of the time. It is a justifiable call.

[@shanemulvey4065]

After that last 2 came on the River Barney thought if I was good on the Turn must be good on the River. GREAT CALL! This is really funny, he made a laughing stock of himself. The whole table probably wanted to bring him down.
