can someone explain why ivey vs mercier @ 11:56 hearts aren't included in mercier's outs? i'm trying to learn, thanks

[@Nosirt]

Because “outs” is when the hand rank changes. Getting 4 hearts doenst fundamentally change merciers hands rank of ace high. It doenst beat two 9. But of course, if a heart did come on the turn THEN the hearts would be included in his outs for the river since those would give him a flush. Basically, “outs” is any card and only that card that can change who is winning. If you hit your out, you are now winning. Hitting 4 hearts doenst win you anything, you need 5 hearts for a flush so the 4th heart is not an “out”, only the 5th one is.

An amazingly talented player, who was able to go toe-to-toe with anyone for some years. Didn't do "enough" with his talents though. Not even close to "best of all time". No bracelet, no WPT title, nor amongst the money leaders(not even close). Not even top-20! Definitely has/had the skills and the aptitude to be amongst the 5 best ever. Just doesn't have the accolades. Greatest poker face though, i'll give him that!

[@1chance4life76]

the amazing thing is it Doyle and he rarely barrels like that.

[@Crooky0]

He probably thought he was going to scare Lex off from a better hand than 2s, so to see he failed to scare him off of 2s he had to be shocked.

[@HelloYouPeople]

Would love to hear you stfu

[@Shshshshshhshhs]

I think Laak just bet too much on the river. I honestly think Patrick would've folded on the turn if he didn't pick up the flush draw. The hand that made the most sense for Laak would be AK, and if i'm Laak, I'm not thinking AK is strong enough to make that large a value bet. Aces or Kings are a possibility I guess, but the flop bet was a bit too large, considering that board wasn't really that scary for a hand like that. If I have aces or kings and I see a flop like that, I'd want calls, and if somebody flopped a set they'd be forced to raise on a board like that (234 with two hearts). 16k into 20k pot is a bet you'd make when you want to protect your hand. Heck that bet was big enough to get a fold from 8s. It was a bet that would make sense with a hand like 9s, 10s, Js, or very high aces. And when the K and Q come you can be sure he's not betting 9s 10s or Js for value. Anyway that was just my read on the situation, have a nice day.
