Great Call or Great Bluff? Super High Roller Bowl

Super High Roller Bowl- Is this a great bluff by Dan Shak or a great call by Fedor Holz? You decide.

[@alexanderhodges5650]

Dan with the help of your podcast, paired with playing around 15,000 hands for free on an app, I entered my first poker tournament (at 29 years old) at the Gardens Casino in southern CA last night. I had no idea what antes were, how to enter, when to act, I was kind of a sh** show. I bought in at the 4th level totally late. There were 140 players total, and I somehow cashed in 5th place. This entire project began from finding you reading hands on youtube 3 months ago. It's literally altered my course in the real world. Thank you.

[@shortstuff_golf]

I won my first hold em tournament last night out of 35. I kept alot of what you say in your videos in mind and found myself heads up at the final table. thank you for your advice Daniel!

[@RoiAleTea]

Wildheårt You think Negreanu is trying to "retain relevance"? He is by far the most well known and recognized poker player who's also been successful at the highest stakes for over a decade. He's always been an advocate of pro poker players being in the "entertainment business". This channel is one of the many ways he give back to poker as a game by attracting new/fun players to the tables so our hourly as players increases.

Enjoyed the quality video clip very much! Your commentary was pretty rapid fire, and seemed to assume that we all already understand the forces at play, but as for me, I'm still learning, so quite a bit went over my head. This channel is destined for great things, mark my words!

[@kevorkyeretsian3743]

Oh and Dan please keep uploading hand analysis videos like this one because they're just so fun to watch and teach us lots.

Hi Daniel, long time fan and Smallball disciple!!! Your video tutorial changed my game instantly for the better! I am playing a Super Stack multi-day tourney tomorrow at Maryland Live! (100k stack). I would love to hear your advice on how to play these vs shorter stack tourneys. (early aggression or more selective). Great Channel so far bro! Appealing to a wide fan base and level of player. Don't sweat the haters. You da man!

[@zacharyrome3330]

Daniel! Big fan for a long time and love the videos. 2 quick questions: You think Fedor quick folds if Dan shoves? And would you raise more pre-flop if you were Fedor due to poor position? Thanks man, keep on making the vids.

[@ricardobarnao369]

Love your work keep up the good vids 👍

[@ajaxm13]

Daniel's commentary is so much easier to listen to than Doug's. he also doesn't annoyingly cut the video to play it twice through and pause whole he does analysis. so much smoother and you don't have to see Doug's smug face.

[@therealrick1661]

Wow you're a bitch

[@Gochsener]

7:11 look at fedors face, he's like "that raise made no sense with this hand"

[@dreamwalker9308]

I did enjoy it. Something about this was different than the other hand breakdowns I have seen. But I cant really pin point it. But it was good in my opinion. Like just the side thoughts were very clear and precise with like no garbage. Really looking forward to more of these.

[@nigelyoung705]

Great Call from Fedor, not seen much of Dan Shak playing, but seen Fedor in many tournaments and he studies his opponents after every bet and in between, we might not see the tell from Dan but Fedor does and that is he doesn't have the stronger hand and I think that is what Fedor saw. I am newish to poker and only in the last couple of years been reading more about the game to help me learn & I've read your books Daniel and they have helped my game play enormously, so thank you for that. You make the games far more interesting to watch :D

[@dylanredmond616]

This is the equivalent of Steph Curry breaking down NBA plays, so down to earth Daniel, keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GM-je3zp]

Dan i would love a live sesion of you playing poker and analyzing exactly how you think giving advices.... If not live a long video would be cool too

[@ademirbp484]

Great video. Hey Daniel, what about some mixed games content?

[@andreatrunfio8499]

On River, Dan tried to bluff kings pair or even higher (k-9 full house). He had to ask himself: have I played so far like I had a Kings pair only? No, because I would have bet with kings pair on a flop with 2 clubs to prevent any flush projects or even straights. Also, I wouldn’t raise a kings pair on River. Can I make fedor think that I slow played K-9 Full House? Yes, that’s only hand I can simulate considering the way I played and it is in the range of possibilities for a big blind calling the rise pre-flop. However, as Negreanu explained, the timing and the size of the bluff is wrong because fedor will always call 180k of raise on the river...

[@glazed420]

Great job! Only complaint is audio quality.

[@ShaeLyonFraser]

Hi Daniel been a fan of yours since high stakes. Didn't realise you were on KZbin great to see. Just one thing you could possibly do in this your hand reviews, is show the action and then comment on it. It allows you to give your insight without giving spoilers on what's to come.

So you call it 'Great call or great bluff' and then go on to state that it's a standard call and a terrible bluff? Strange.

Hey Daniel, to balance wouldn't you also have to size down on some of your bluffs. Like if you always size up for bluffs and make small raises for value wouldn't you be readable?

Daniel correct me if i'm wrong...but have you just started doing these videos or ever since a certain Doug Polk started?

[@noelleahy2384]

can you do a video where you give an easy efficient way to read someone, like they way you can read what cards they have. Not when they bluff but the way you guess what cards they ?

[@renx81]

Most of the time it just comes down to narrowing down someone's range based on the actions they take in a hand. It's a common misconception that this has much to do with "soul reads" so to speak.

[@theboatman360]

Thanks again Daniel!

I want to be smoking whatever Kid Poker is smoking 🤣

[@dariuskrug389]

Thank You for making these videos!

[@Leviatan989]

I would prefer a check call on the river just to induce some bluffs he just got lucky that the other guy hit the 10 to call and even to decide to raise the river.. but I think most of the time he would have missed draws or even a weak A that he could decide to bluff with on the river.

[@szhzs6121]

i suggest that you add an overlay of the board as you are speaking - makes it easier to remember what exactly was on the turn etc. during segments in which you make a long comment.

[@superdave7507]

[@7ehNP]

[@electrifyeverything6454]

Always thinking exploitatively!

[@toomanydiscs1056]

I would play in this tournament if they had a high rake.

[@tomcads1604]

Is it just me that thinks that Dan's raise on the river isn't a bluff? We know Shak is a highly capable player, so he definitely knows that calling is the standard GTO play. So we really have to consider why he raises: a) he is indeed bluffing. For that assumption to be true we have to consider the following: what could have us beat here after Fedor double barrels? IMO it's AA, QQ, JJ (we block), TT (we block) Kx, 9x, AT, J8 and QJ, even though QJ is a clear bet on the flop so more unlikely plus we block some. Now which of these hands can we expect Fedor to fold: Probably only the weak Kx and the JJ/QQ type hands and the T (and as we see in the result, even that assumption is too wide, because I feel if you call QQ you call JJ and AT too). So is this a good bluff? Probably not, ass everyone is quick to point out, especially considering the sizing. b) lets consider the other option: a value bet. Despite 180k being a decent chunk out of Fedor's stack, this is not exactly a big raise, which could be indicative of a value bet. So imo, Shak might think his hand is good here (as pointed out it usually is) and he is looking for a hero call out of Fedor. Shak has a lot of bluffs in his range: he checked the flop and called a turn were a single high card could have given him a gut shot, he might still be sitting on a low fd, maybe A high etc. So from Fedor's perspective, a raise is extremely polarising and is usually gonna mean Shak has a 9 or better or nothing (would Shak really play a lone K like this???) so when he decides to hero call, he can always assume he is beating all the bluffs. What are the hero calls Shak beats: underpairs to the board mostly and AQ/AJ. What's also relevant here is the fact that this bet looks a lot like big stack bullying and that Fedor might be inclined to take a stand and call down (which he kind of does, even though I admit with a stronger hand) So in all honesty, I'm really not sure either way, but I do think that it is possible that Shak is range merging to get thin value from Fedor. What do you guys think? Any validity is this "thin value gone wrong" rather than "sketchy bluff" idea?

[@mcarlon-m.c.6523]

HEY... GIVE US A BIG CLAP, THEN SNIFF MY GREEN FARTS!

[@bigskia]

So Holz can be confident that Shak doesn't have JQ, which leaves Shak only repping KK99 (slow played), 9 (really slow played) or two pair (10/9). Seems Shak could have had those hands, so that was an interesting call.

[@jimdugganakagermanbeermons4217]

KZbin is a positive-sum game. Daniel's success here means more success for everyone. Doug understands this and mentions it often. You may be right about some fans downvoting though.

[@DegenCash]

Daniel I don't know what your intention is for this channel. I know what your DIRECTION is but what are you looking to get from it? you need more subscribers and when you're at the level you are, you need to push daily content. That's if you care for this to grow. if you're here just to share valuable info and connect with your fans then keep it up. either way you're awesome and I respect you greatly.

[@adamvalerino6474]

He needs to jam in order for the bluff to work

[@josephfraire4096]

[@doomtomb3]

Raise to 480k would’ve gotten a fold I think

[@Santino_Valentino]

I disagree with you Daniel about the bet size on the river because looks like you didn't take into account stack sizes. if Dan bets 450-550 that is basically 80% of Fador stack, so it doesn't make any sense to bet that much especially if Fador goes over the top and shoves his remaining 20%.
