@@Furthermore23 First, as far as full houses: Ivey, *without question,* has 77 & J7s in his range. He also occasionally has J6s, J4s; and although it probably wouldn’t be as common-the occasional 44 and 66. I think he’d be more likely to slowplay J6 than 44. So, Mike’s King High Flush loses to those hands. Next, Ivey definitely has at least 6 combinations of AcXc hands that would’ve flatted pre-flop. (A2, A3, A5, A8, A9, A10). All of those hands would flat pre, and although those hands would raise the flop a decent percentage, they’re going to be flatting the flop a decent percentage, as well. So, all of those hands _also_ beat Mike. Next, Ivey can have all the different combos of A4 A6 that have the bare Ace of clubs. And he’ll occasionally have the Ace of Clubs with a Jd or Js, that he chose to just flat on the flop. Next, there are two other hands Ivey could have that beat Mike: 3c5c & 5c8c. Although, Ivey _probably_ primarily raises straight-flush draws the flop, he would definitely occasionally have those in his range. I’m not sure if he’d be more likely to raise the flop with one of those-more than the other; But, I’d guess that he’d be more likely to flat the flop with 8c5c since that has less outs than 3c5c; Although, he may have looked at it the opposite way. So: Ivey *definitely* has 77 and J7s in his range 100% of the time. He has a decent percentage of (suited-clubs) A2, A3, A5, A8, A9, A10. As well as the bare Ace with Ac4x, Ac6x. He occasionally has 66, 44, J6, J4s, AcJd, AcJs. And although rare, he could also have 8c5 and 3c5c… Can anyone tell me all the possible bluffs Ivey can have in this spot-That make Mike’s fold “so horrible”?

No offense to Phil Ivey, but this is more of a terrible fold by Mike than it is a great bluff by Phil. If Phil knew Mike had Kc there's no shot he's attempting this bluff. Probably put him on a range 7,8,9,10,Qc. Mike has to make this call 10/10 times or else he's being incredibly exploitable. If Ivey has pocket 4,6,7 or Ac then so be it. But that's even more unlikely since Ivey at that time liked to fast pair sets on boards with IP PFRs on boards with draws.

If you look at the way the hand was played, this is a great hand to bluff by Phil. Matusow was the original raiser from middle position representing a strong preflop hand (big to mid pairs, AK, AQ). Phil on the other hand is in the big blind and could be defending with a number of hands (mid to small pairs, suited connectors, Broadway hands. So Phil has in his range sets of 4s, 6s, and 7s. He also has some Js, AJ, KJ, QJ, J10. He also has the made straight draw in his range 35. Phil is also most likely to have the A of clubs in this spot giving the idea that he could be calling preflop with any big Ace or Suited Ace.. Phil is most likely betting on the idea that the only strong hands that Matusow has is an over pair, or a few A of clubs, and the unlikely JJ. Maybe Matusow has a few Broadway J hands.the likelihood of him folding to a raise is very high based on all the hands Phil cold have him beat with. I'm all, it was the correct fold by Matusow, even though he had Phil beat in hand. And it was a good spot to bluff by Phil . So to some things up, either Matusow has the board dominated with quad Js or a Broadway hand with the A of club. Or he has a marginal hand that can be folded to a raise. Phil Phil on the other hand could have any boat, Nut flush, or a straight.

[@fritzzz1372]

You do realise that Matusow beats straights and trips like AJ? He's got a flush himself, and the second best one at that. So I think the fold is probably incorrect since Matusow is almost at the top of his range here. If he fold the King of clubs here, I think he can be too easily bluffed in this spot.

[@FattyMateo]

​@@fritzzz1372​@fritzzz1372 thank you for saying it. This guy wrote a book in a yt comment and doesn't seem to realize Mike had the 2nd nut flush. He loses to full house and Ac only. For MM to believe Phil has Ac, he must believe Phil called the bet on the flop with A high and then checked to the aggressor when he turned the nut flush draw. PI would not check the nut flush draw on the turn out of position to a guy who just c bet the flop. He finally got big equity in the hand, I think he would bet that. Most importantly, with 4 to a flush on the board, Ac out of position is very unlikely to check that to the guy who slowed on the turn when the 3rd club hit.

[@FrankMitchell-lh1pl]

Might not of ran that bluff if Mike doesn’t do the club check n say forgot what I had. Seemed genuine which caps him at a flush. Ivey range is uncapped in that board

[@jacemandt]

Yeah, I think the card check was a huge tell. Phil's gotta be thinking that Mike would remember if he had the A of clubs without checking the cards, so the card check means he has a lower one.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Can you please learn the difference between "might not of" and "might not have" ? Thanks.

[@bodsnvimto]

I still prefer Daniel's far more flat-out bluff vs Hellm(o)uth on that first hand of a string of three.

[@ESter-hj7vd]

If ( just hoping) I play with Ivey I will just give him the money,after he stares at me for whole hour.. 😂😂😂

[@D.H.1987]

Pretty gay imo

[@lucasmoreira5898]

I would have raised and go til the end. That's the second best flush you can get. And if i lose to a Ace i could live with that.

[@basedbear1605]

I dunno..... Chris Moneymaker had a pretty epic one to win the WSOP with... (yeah, technically he won the title with the 2 pr hand, but the bluff 1-2 hands before gave him a monster lead and if he lost that hand he was in serious trouble.

[@Pokerloversunite]

Amazing

[@AdmatHakodesh]

The board got worse and worse for Mike's range and it was obvious he wasn't betting strong on the river, which Ivey would exploit a lot of the time. Ivey reps a full house. Ac would most likely directly bet river after c/c on turn. It would have been a great call, but probably also an objectively correct one.

If you bet on the river there then you better be prepared to put it all in. Folding there is just playing scared.

[@nbl95]

Dude shouldn't have been playing poker if he didnt have the money to call a raise with K high flush. The pressure of losing another 30k lost him the hand. If he had been deep stacked enough to begin with he would've let it rip regardless if he looses or not bc that hand is good enough to win 99% of the time. Phil wasn't playing with cards- he was playing with fear and greed.

[@zachwells8994]

Guy lookin like a vampire…good pokerface too.

[@clintbrunke2074]

this was set up all by mike checking his cards, this told Ivey everything he needed to know, you know for sure if you have a full house or a a high flush, when he checked to see if he had the flush and then value bet Ivey now can figure that the best hand mike could have is the exact hand he had which could be beat by A of clubs or by any pocket pairs of 4,6, or 7 all hands which Ivey could have easily checked with being out of position to get mike to bluff. This is why you don't check your cards. even doing so as a bluff is a bad idea.

[@carlwoods7768]

Getting 3-1 to call the river He has to call

[@tipsy09]

One low key thing in this hand is I think Phil is giving Mike a big pair because hellmuth tank folded and he could be going off his read also. However I don’t think Mike is ever betting without a club. So at worst Mike maybe has the 10 of clubs. But eeeven that he probably doesn’t bet. I think the worst hand Mike shows up here with is the Q of clubs. If you’re gonna play tight then you need to be able to bluff catch well. Problem for Mike is that he is probably thinking phil knows that he is never betting that thin here so either Phil has some maniac bluff or he has him beat. But we know Phil isn’t a maniac so he probably timed this bluff well. Mike really looked like he didn’t like that turn card. Bet- folding that river is really bad. Nothing better is ever folding there and worse hands from a solid player which Ivey has could turn it into a bluff. Mike is probably not snap checking back the turn with 44 or 66. The turn is an amazing card to bet for value with those hands. Maybe Ivey put Mike on a J? It really leans more towards Mike didn’t like the turn. I do agree with the other comment that Phil got a little lucky because Mike had a pretty strong hand. This is potentially the worst hand Mike bets on the river. But given the action and flow of the hand it’s possible that this maybe the only hand Mike has.

[@EvelcyclopS]

This isn’t even close to the best bluff I’ve seen tonight let alone ever.

[@MentalPawn]

best bluff by far was in a cash game for 600k between Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

It was a good bluff and play but it was also against a bad play and fold

[@Comictalent]

Definitely not the best bluff of all-time - it's a strategic play against a weak river bet that Ivey sniffed out. He's played with Mike a lot over the years. I understand why Mike folded but I think you have to call there.

[@rafizkk]

Best bluff ever is actually on ivey by dwans 10 high for 240k $

no disrespect to Phil but Matusow was not playing in his comfort zone and was already pot committed; thats a snap call.
