Dude, calling a 4 bet with JJ and calling all bets until the river? Are you serious? And Foxen called Daniel's exact hand while Daniel was completely off. If Daniel really thought Foxen was on a bluff he should have raised him on the flop or turn.

[@marvincotton1919]

Both players knew each other's hands. Granted, Daniel realized on the turn. And Foxen realized after the hand. Top Tier play from both 💯

[@AS-bb4ky]

I mean, Foxen could put him on exactly JJ cuz Daniel’s breakdown of hands he couldn’t beat stopped at QQ. So that wasn’t overly impressive.

[@ligafftheindifferent3495]

One concept he makes that deserves extra emphasis: Big laydowns are a really big part of poker, especially tournament poker, where your stack value is not a linear equation. I've had above average tournament results, though on strictly small events. I have had MANY times where i made a tough lay down, lived to see another day and went on to place in an event instead of busting out. It really helps when the competition is under bluffing, but you still have to find the folds.

[@ppooooppyyful]

Don’t play poker anymore but still watch your hand breakdowns. Keep up the good work!!

[@darrenhadden1037]

Very well played and awesome laydown! It would of been interesting how that hand played out if Foxen flats your 3 bet.

[@darrenhadden1037]

Interesting question, but if he flats now the 99 flop is something that could be in his range which would require some caution on my part.

I don't think it was the lay down that was so nice, but having gone all the way to the edge of the cliff to be 100% sure. That is what took heart.

[@BlinDefender]

Daniel didn't have any AK suited flush draws because Foxen had both of those Aces.

[@kratoscallofduty]

With the 3 on the river, the only thing you can beat is AK, A2, A3, A4, or a bluff. Fold was the best option, IMO.

[@Hemmels]

Good fold. I think he knew he had high pairs beat with the jam, as you mentioned towards the end. He called you had jack's too

[@MugawumpTazer97]

Hey Daniel, thank you once again for the hand breakdown! Pocket Jack's are always an interesting hand, considering that they're one of those 50/50 hands (I find Jacks a middle-premium pair, not a full premium pair). I'm glad that you found the fold on the river. It also helps me out when you explain what hands all beat you in these spots against Foxen, plus the bluffs as well. Edit: In your book Hold'Em Wisdom for all Players, you have a section on pondering pocket jacks. With today's poker knowledge of hand ranges and ev plays, what would you add to that particular chapter of your book when it comes to Jacks?

[@DragonballG.]

Daniel is the man

[@TheTree1]

He is wrong here because well yes he can have aces in Kings. He doesn’t have them in full because he does 5 bet them sometimes. So when you factor in that and the missed flush draws jack, jack is a call by MDF. No you can still fold because of a reed or ICM but he brought up MDFN is wrong about it.

[@DragonballG.]

Great analysis. 2 questions please anybody: 1) why did Foxen leave 500 chips back? If Daniel is going to call, surely he’d raise the 500 to knock a player out? 2) what are those black square chips/markers the players are passing round? TIA

[@BlueGorillaInTheMist]

The black Square chips are time Banks, for each one you get an extra 30 seconds I think. As to why Foxen left 500 chips back, I'm not entirely sure, but maybe in the hope that if Daniel just called the river not thinking to reshove, and foxen lost, then he would still have one chip to play with.

[@JP-cu2gm]

@@BlueGorillaInTheMist thanks buddy

[@philster5918]

what is the value of foxen betting 99.5% of his chips, rather than 100%? There's no other tables so no time delay pay jumps, right? What's the value of leaving a minimal amount behind?

I was thinking the exact same thing! What is going on, there has to be a reason, can someone please explain?

[@MikePhoenix007]

[@svitlanaostapchenko5642]

This is way way above my level!!

[@newstandardaccount]

The same logic that leads Daniel to a fold told Foxen what Daniel had. I'm guessing tens folds, AA or KK is a call, while JJ/QQ puts you in a difficult spot. The fact that Daniel used so many time banks told Foxen it was a marginal decision. That guy is good.

You have played this hand just perfectly Beautiful poker Daniel

[@jlev210]

Can you explain why KK is a snap there for you with the range you put him on? Seems like you’d be blocking more of his bluffs (AK) and his value range is still beating you (AA, A5)

[@IZn0g0uDatAll]

If you don’t call with kk what do you call with?

[@CanariasCanariass]

If I had to make a guess: AQ is also going to be in his range sometimes, also A4, A3, A2 or QQ which don't beat us. Sure, he might not bet A4 A3 A2 because there is some showdown value, but still.

[@jlev210]

So is it just a balancing thing where you need to call sometimes? If that’s the case is there an argument that JJ is actually a better call than KK because QQ probably isn’t firing river and KK blocks more of the bluffs?

[@BlueGorillaInTheMist]

I would imagine the reasoning is that Daniel would then beat Queens and chop with Kings

[@rickgoldstein8071]

why does foxen bet all but 500 and not just all-in on the river?

[@utkarshkaniyar6210]

It’s standard practice in tournaments, u want a chip behind if he calls so u aren’t out of the tournament, and to be balanced, u do it with both good hands and bad.

[@nicholasabraham259]

Hey Daniel, I LOVE these breakdowns! Keep em coming! Gonna be a big year for you. When u knew that solvers like rinky-dink bets on 4-bet pots and then Foxen bet 15% pot, does that help you deduce his hand or his potential range in that situation?

[@tommyallen5761]

Foxen is going to bet ~15% pot on the 99x flop almost 100% of the time. It's his entire range, so it doesn't narrow it down at all

[@ligafftheindifferent3495]

Sounds like the two wheel cards were the difference between calling and folding. The explanation was pretty nice. It shows how, in some ways, it can be easier to play against really good opponents. I am still in the "Does he have it or not" place. I play MUCH lower stakes and there is no way my opponents play optimally. For me, the question is a matter of how the guy plays. Is he likely to fire 3 rounds with AK or not. I am also used to 4 betting be very weighted towards AA, KK and maybe some AK. For all these reasons, I usually fold JJ by the turn and will even fold it pre flop if the 4 bet is large and the SPR is low enough.

Interesting that if you have KK you don't fold.... these are the small differences that I'm not at that level on.

[@barscus]

The math just works out differently. With KK, based on his analysis of the ranges, you only lose to A5 and AA, you chop against KK, and if you think he might shove with QQ you even beat some of his value-shoves, as well as all the bluffs. Getting three to one on the call with those numbers you just have to call. When he has the AA, tough luck, shit happens:)

[@justmusic2353]

Good lay down but in theory you should have called. It’s 3:1 so he needs to be bluffing 25% of the time for the call to be break even. If we discount QQ from his range then he has 12 combo of AA, KK and 4 combos of A5s which leaves us with 16 value hands. There are 32 combos of AK, AQ but let’s be conservative and say he only triple those hands 25% of the time with the suited variety ones only. That leaves us with 8 combos of bluffs to 16 combo of value. Which means he’ll be bluffing 33% of the time, way above our 25% break even point. Therefor, in theory you should have called but hey you made a good lay down.
