Breaking Down an Insane Poker Play vs WSOP Main Event Champion

[@CrushlivePoker]

What do we think about river sizing by our hero here? The issue I have with jamming is that Hero probably 3 bets turn with a lot of nut flushes and like I said in the video if he does just call turn with nut flush not sure if he's jamming river. Also it just doesn't make sense for Hero to have a lot of boats here as I pointed out. If I had Kh Th and I thought villain was capable I would have a hard time folding for these reasons. --Bart

[@coral250]

hero can definitely have boats in this line since he can have AJ. Hero should also be able to jam all nut flushes on the river because joe never has a boat as played and there is no straight flush possible.

[@GRice999]

If hero doesn't have nut flushes in his range on the river because he 3-bet most of them on the turn, then he only has boats or bluffs on the river whether he bets pot or jams. So betting enough to make the king high flush fear the boat would seem correct. Trying to get villain to think you're targeting flushes with a possible nut flush sized wager seems counter-productive, as villain knows you probably don't have it and probably have more naked aces of the flush suit bluffs (especially if villain has the blockers because he has a flush). As played, Hachem took a while to fold, so the over-bet might have done the trick. Unless he was suspicious of the over-bet, whereas he might have folded a pot sized bet with more confidence. It also depends on whether villain believes you'd frequently call his turn raise with just the ace of hearts, given the poor price. Overall, I think it's best to bet making your range boats or bluffs, and remove the nut flush from your range. Whether that's pot sized or all-in is probably player dependent.

[@Dexerion]

It worked. It felt bluffy because of the sizing. Any A high flush or boat would want to get Joe's exact hand to call. So the sizing would be way better odds. The hero polarized very well.

[@AT-bw4cm]

Don't forget to discount sb who's trying to win bounty and could be calling flop as wide as 43. After being checked to, wouldn't the average rec be more concerned about denying equity to a random heart vs. being cautious on turn when they have a set?

[@sawyerw5715]

Maybe the action on the turn(bit of a protection bet sizing), and calling sold the boat when the board paired. If he has nut flush why not reraise on turn. To me pretty convincing boat line. Admittedly there aren't many boats out there, so it is big risk to polarize. I think only a really good player would fold and evidently one did. But very dangerous play, cause it seems like he was selling JJ and not much else.

[@Dexerion]

Given what Joe had this would be a sick “pick a card” hand. He picks the ace he thinks you have a higher flush. He picks the jack he thinks you have a boat.

[@TaylrTownsnd]

[@MilesDavisPoker]

Even though Hero prob shouldn't / isn't betting the nut flush for this size on river... I actually like the play if he plays vs this guy a lot and knows he has no boats when he c/r turn and then checks board pairing river... Its the best combo to do it in theory. In my experience these old school guys are not protected when they check the river. If he's folding K high flush, he's folding his entire range, and this line prints.

[@WillPage]

Not sure, I think Joe was 50/50 on this one. Your op only has to call 30% of the time for you to be losing money. If he bets 120% pot, maybe I agree.

[@danielwilliams9753]

If you know villain does not have boats though, does this not allow you to add nut flushes to this sizing? I guess the question is does villain only think you have boats or do they understand that you can do this with flushes as well.

[@adday3006]

I'm checking that turn all day every day. I don't care that it makes my hand transparent (as far as having the ace of hearts). I can get value out of a 4th heart and I can get value from someone who is bluffing or value betting a worse jack. I'm also keeping their value bets smaller when they have a flush or straight because of my perceived weakness.

[@patrick_kyker]

And it makes the pot smaller so if you want to raise the river as a bluff you can

[@adday3006]

@@patrick_kyker With top pair, I'd probably stay away from bluffing the river. When I check that turn, I feel like I'm saying I have the ace of hearts, and any river bet is more likely to get called.

[@Gos1234567]

Yes check back especially holding the J,

[@thegimreaper]

This story seems to remind me about the Rounders Movie scene when Matt Damon bluffed Johnny Chan 😅

[@noThankyou-g5c]

i’d probably be more inclined to fold vs a rec just bc opening J8o, over valuing top 2 when the flush completes, and then jamming when you make a boat is totally something they’re definitely “capable” of. Same with any sets that turn into boats when the board pairs. And same with nut flushes although with the K of hearts I’m not going to live in fear of the nut flush _too_ much here. (assuming the stakes were lower and this was a $130 pot and not a $13,000 pot lmao) shipping in 550BB with a blocker to the nut flush on a paired board isn’t really something I’d give a rec a lot of credit for unless I already pegged them as a maniac.

[@snared_]

getting pinned as a maniac and then making good decisions while continuing to look crazy is a great way to print money

[@karlinchina]

I think a lot of players do bet a set on the turn even though the flush comes in. So ya that's what we're repping. Full pot seems good enough to me -- half the risk and calling frequency doesn't go down by that much.

[@JohnSmith-nx7zj]

Yeah 44 and 88: 1. unblock Jx hands 2. don’t want to let naked Jh hands draw for free 3. can still boat up vs flushes So I think they often still bet the turn. Then again there’s only 4 combos of 44/88 by the river.

[@WillPage]

If you must shock and awe, but 120% pot, why risk the rest?

[@shaymicah4194]

I actually believe this was beautifully played. Hero small bets flop, under size Turn bet (repping 8 9, hitting 2pair but wary of the ❤ flush) calls the 3x bet by Hachem. And then the paired 8, Hero Jamz. PERFECT! If I was Hachem I would have probably folded. The betting sizes, which actually was the Heros weakness and mistake, ended up telling a perfect story. 😂 Crazy. *Side note: Interested in real time what Hero does if the board doesn't pair on the river. Because shoving at that point and I guarantee Hachem calls

[@HPxG323]

But if you're repping nut flush there (which is the only hand he can rep), it makes no sense to push stack in. Would he seriously put that huge river bet with the nut flush when board pairs? What is he looking to get called by when he bets so big with the nut flush? As we saw even king high flush (one of the only hands you can get value from) will fold there. The line and the hand makes absolutely no sense.

[@thearchivist250]

I love these armchair pros slamming Hashem. It’s one hand, and looking at his Hendonmob, he rarely leaves Australia. Likely just plays cash games.

[@WillPage]

20:00 only question now is what is the best bluff sizing?

[@PeterJennings28]

You have to bet the turn for 2 reasons. 1. SB is lighter than normal because the btn game, straddle also wider than normal because sb will be so wide. 2. When you check back turn you leave yourself no option but to get exploited on the river. At the least betting turn checking back brick river you get paid by KJhx/QJhx/JThx. Sometimes you get x/r on turn but that's fine they aren't really bluffing though this turn bet size is kinda weak and could induce bluffs, even so you still have option to peel and bluff all in over river bet. Probably 700 is better. Turn is must bet though, cuz if we chk, every non heart river either player (most likely straddle) can just 1.5x-2x pot river, we are capped and can't do anything about it, turn check just makes our jack meaningless.

[@swg2002]

I love the point of the inconsistent story being told. There's no hand that plays turn as a bet/call when checked to that wants to 2x pot jam the river when it pairs. I would buy 99 doing this over any other possible combo because of the deception/excitement with a turned set when you cbet the flop making you want to bet, but even that is a stretch because it fills all the straight draws you unblock and it flushes.

[@461oceanboulevard]

[@702couch]

I personally think Joe put the Hero on JJ and hit the river. Having Joe's hand I think thats the only way I lay it down.

[@pot_kivach160]

Would a top full house try to force a weak flush or a straight, out of pot, instead of betting reasonably and get paid. . Which hand would call such a jam? Certainly not a weak flush nor straight. So, bluff is very likely here. Again, depending on player profile.

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

so with the button game the 50 bucks accumulates until the small blind wins a pot, did i hear that right?

[@ikickpuppies01]

I think others call this game, small blind jackpot. Yep, like you said only SB can get the $ on the puck

[@iambadatpickingusernames6669]

I like the play, especially if he 2x jams the nut flush. What boats does Hachem ever have that raise the turn? He doesn’t. The J is almost irrelevant as a blocker, because he’s not raising JJ on the turn… I guess Hachem would prioritize bluffcatchers with the J of hearts in them, but he doesn’t show up with many offsuit ones. The A of hearts blocker is the nut bluff card here, and AJ is one of the few Ahx combos he gets here with.

[@sgeier29]

Wow! Great bluff. That was a great play. Great.

[@WillPage]

Paused at 13:32 if it's against Hash you are definitely behind here. Also, he is capable of laying it down against a 25% bet if you make your flush. Ordinrily, I channel my inner punting degen here, but against Joe, I am not so sure.

[@Adam-fb5nt]

Super interesting hand! Thanks

[@Notorietypulp]

The only combo i can find which is close to AhJx in terms of sensible bluffs in this line would be AhTx. If hero has 6 bluff combos with AhJx too, And villain needs to win 40% of the time against our sizing, he need to find fewer than 9 value combos for hero to be over bluffing and make bluff catching +ev. Blocking the Kh and Th is very relevant to some of the nut flushes in heroes range, leaving only AQs and AJs and maybe some A5s (although its hard to imagine finding a bet with that hand on that flop imo). Like bart says it is hard to imagine JJ barrelling this turn card, so maybe we split the difference by only giving hero JhJx, so 2 combos. Villain blocks the JTs combo draw which might take this line on the turn. Hero's two pair combos also check back turn at high frequency, since its hard to imagine denying much equity (maybe getting a fold from KhJx or AhJx?). So i count like 4 value combos, assuming hero gets here with nut flushes (which i guess we're assuming since we're constructing his bluffing range with the nut flush blocker), which makes it a +ev call for villain even when the hero is not calling turn with AhTx or bluffing the river with that combo. This makes me think Joe thinks that the nut flush call bet line is so much higher frequency than the nut blocker call bet line that he can overfold. Either that or there was a reverse tell, or joe just made a mistake in the moment.

[@datsumcrzysht]

You were probably thinking about Paul Wasicka. That was the Jaime Gold year, 2006.

[@kineahora8736]

Caller must have had a very tight table image. I would assume that a top pro like that would have a lot of hero calls, and as Bart said- i’m not expecting sets to bet the turn. then again, I’m not expecting any flushes to do 2x pot river. that leaves my opponent with bluffs that include the ace of hearts and a nine and 10 Jack or maybe a queen, and may be only a few of value combos like 88…

[@JohnSmith-nx7zj]

44 makes sense to bet the turn right? It unblocks Jx and even vs flushes or straights it has a chance to boat up. And 44 definitely doesn’t want to let JhX hands see a free river.

[@kineahora8736]

@@JohnSmith-nx7zj 44 and 88 don’t really like the turn, but they at least both unblock jacks… anyway if you only have 4 value combos you don’t need that many bluffs, like maybe 3. Ah-Jack and Ah-ten should be available…

[@Gos1234567]

or he might have a fishy image that overplays 2 pairs and doesnt like to fold,cos for Joe to fold to a tight player he has to put him on a narrow range.A tight player wouldnt bet the flush turn with a set or call the CR with a flush draw,so if tight Joe must beleive he has specifically the ace flush which seems wrong to just put him on one hand

[@pot_kivach160]

@@Gos1234567 I agreed about fishy profile, however, betting front door turn flush with 2 pairs I do not see as overplay. Simply, if you're scared of any front door hits a turn, then you're pushover. . Betting turn with 2 pairs, H might target a top pair (QJ, KJ) , or weaker 2 pairs. However, calling turn x/raise with a top pair on a VERY dynamic board - is fishy. Moreover, jamming river 2x against turn aggressor, is a fish out of water: desperate. 😂

[@kevinlee702]

Nice hand history vs Hachem. I am thinking even though the line doesn't make sense in theory. The logic to Hachem's fold is a rec player 95% of the time isn't 2x pot bluffing. They would put some kind of live tell or be too nervous to pull it off especially vs the champ. He just didn't see you nervous which was very good on your part to remain calm at the time. Hachem plays these games all the time vs recs and in this spot they usually just have it. Kudos to getting it through but now that he knows you can pull this maneuver off. So be careful out there lol.

Surely villain does bet boats on the river as he wants (Nut) flushes to call him so if he has 8-9 or J8 then he is going lead the river?

You got lucky Hachem is Nittucci's granddad. Against a normal player, check back turn. No worse hand is calling you when you bet the turn and you stand to get checkraised since two players called your flop bet and you have to put at least one of them on a flush draw, especially since you block other top pairs. River you turned your hand into a bluff representing a full house, and it worked against Hachem who overfolds as we all know from old high stakes poker videos, but against a regular player this is not a good strategy. Also for the board runout, you are not convincing a good player you either have a nut flush (which will not overbet a paired river or fail to 3-bet turn) or a set turned into a full house (which should not have bet the turn when flush completed). Few pros rate Hachem as a good player, as we all know he is a one-hit wonder from the pre-GTO era. By modern standards, he would be considered a fish - as illustrated by his single pulse career graph

Is that really counterfeiting? I feel like a 9 would counterfeit J8, but maybe I'm wrong about the terminology. It certainly downgrades J9 because now J9 loses to AA, KK, QQ and any 8, but I don't think that's really counterfeiting. And yeah, I agree, the bet sizing on the river is just never a flush. Why would it be? You're folding out all sorts of worse hands and very rarely getting called by both (just thinking you're bluffing). The fact that Hachem holded the second nut flush is the perfect proof that you wouldn't (or shouldn't) take this line with the nut flush. I'd bet you should simply never have huge bets here on the river. He basically never has a boat, so I'm not even going big with a boat cause I want a flush or trips to make a crying call.
