KK Faces a $140,000 Preflop All-in (Garrett Adelstein)

Bart, I know you've been told this before... But you are EXCELLENT on commentary.

Absolutely. A very similar spot to Mike Matusow with AA against Garrett but with an entirely different result.

this is not a good fold. garret can have easily 5x of clubs and so on

[@LEFTaTIP]

High stakes, deep stack poker at its best or worse depending on what side your on. As great as Garrett is..... it only takes 1 wrong read or beat to show he is human. Great poker commentary Bart Hansen !!!

[@007420ish]

Bart is the man but he pooped out when JR hit the nut flush on the river vs an already made flush and he said nothing about the action after that 😮

Should Garrett have folded KK preflop here to the 6 bet all-in, what are your thoughts?

I don’t know…I’m still trying to figure out what Haroon is wearing.

[@SuperSlayinJJ]

Fucckkk that is a tough spot. I am pretty sure I would call, if Haroon was deeper it makes the fold easier. Garret only needed to worry about JRs range. Which makes me lean to call in that spot.

What a fold by Ben w/ KK! That was impressive. Holy shit.

[@johnnytwotimes7854]

Great fold with trip 9s too

[@akmd114379]

Yes i agree. That was crazy

[@piFFD513]

I was wondering about the trip 9's, and it's always easy to give tips while I'm watching on a phone, but I think that's a common laydown. Some call, some fold. But with another guy to act behind you, a flush already out there, another card to come, seems kind of risky.

[@SuperSlayinJJ]

@@piFFD513 I think a call is reasonable there to play some rivers. I think his position (still a player to act behind) made this more of a fold though.

[@junito1008]

@@piFFD513 Brother, That’s an easy call with the trip 9s !! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 1) learn this: when somebody check-raise you, you are in trouble 95% of the time 2)check the sequence: check check Ben bets $4.4K…JR flat calls Nick raise 🤭 You have to fold because Nick raised even though there’re 2 players after him. Another think is that one of Ben’s outs is the Q♥️ and like in this case, the player with the flush could have it in his hands. So to me is an normal fold…folding the KK is harder to do.

I dunno that may be one spot you do, so you aren't going against 3 people. Even with the side pot.

[@adamweir1191]

Bart u said Ben folds the three nines correctly but the pot was $32k and it was $7600 to call meaning Ben actually had marginally profitable pot odds to draw to a full house or quads, and although it's definitely possible any of those full houses could still be the worst hand it's relatively not that painful to find out because Nick had only $15600-"$18000" behind.

It's more of a confirmation thing since players tend not to show their all-in hands unless it's to claim the pot. Like if one player calls your exact hand, then you know it's pretty certain he's telling the truth that he has the hand he claims.

[@akmd114379]

One of the best folds I've seen.

[@edb7742]

Isn't it likely that either Haroon or J.R. has AA, given that they are both tight players according to the commentator?

[@blairjohnson6014]

It’s fairly likely Haroon has QQ or AA, possible AK and he’s just resigned to getting it in. With KK just unlikely from Garrett’s perspective since he has two red kings. The stack depth that Haroon is playing probably results in that 5 bet jam with AK and QQ+, and he’s folding everything else I guess. I’m not sure how much history they have with him though, and a short stack rec player has definitely been known to shove 99-JJ, maybe even some AQs there. So Haroon is whatever. JR is the way more interesting participant in the hand, his VPIP and PFR are definitely not like “old man rock” tight, and Garrett knows that since he flatted, JR won’t think he has a hand to call a jam with that often. He’s much more inclined and incentivized to gamble against Haroon’s holding since there will be a good amount of dead money in there if Garrett folds. Is Garrett flatting many 3 bets in the HJ that he can call a 6 bet shove with? I think that’s JR’s thinking, and I think Garrett may have come to that conclusion himself. Sometimes either one or both will have AA, sure. But I think Garrett thinks JR holds specifically AK (and the single combo of KK I guess, but that’s not really ideal since Haroon has AA pretty frequently) there often enough to make it a profitable call.

[@arthurjameson2178]

Garrett - "I'm always gonna win or lose a lot of money there" He's basically a genius so it felt weird to hear him just explain how big pots work in poker.

[@Saint-PierrePoker]

The point is that in that specific hand, it did not happen

[@BBshark000]

This is why GTO is almost never really applicable in high stakes games, and especially against competent players. With how Garrett has a somewhat loose-aggressive and sticky image, KK wasn’t exactly the hardest fold there with such a wet flop. Ben had a good read and knew he’s gonna be in a super difficult position if he called, and there wasn’t any value to acquire even if he flopped a set at the river, Garrett was repping nut straight all the way. Still an impressive fold nonetheless.

[@iamamish]

I see a lot of people complimenting that KK fold on the turn, but man I'm not so sure. That board was not remotely scary, I think you're losing to Aces and 6/7. Given the way the hand played you can discount Aces (not impossible, but unlikely). Especially against a player like Garrett, who is so aggressive, it is hard for me to think that folding Kings there is a good play. Maybe he had a read of some kind.

[@johnspence8141]

[@onlyweatherlol93]

But yeah sure just sit and wait for AA

[@johnnyboychess]

The guy who jammed with QQ was the smallest stack and it’s normal for short stacked to jam a high pocket pair pre flop, (10s or better), and even smaller if they’re somewhat loose or aggressive. Knowing this, the large stack may just want to jam with over cards such as AK, AQ, KQ in the hopes to dissuade a call from Garrett and get a coin flip for $40k, and also shove large pairs, QQ, KK, AA for value. Short stack range: 99-AA Large stack range: KQ,AK,AQ, QQ,KK,JJ Garrett’s KK is a highly profitable call most times in this situation.

[@mrhumble2937]

You never told KK. Simple really. Maybe on a tournament bubble.

[@1yearrvp]

2:08 I totally disagree with the commentator's assessment. Garrett is really only playing against Justin at this point. And Justin could easily be protecting Jacks, Queens, AK, etc. because of the way the hand played. There is no way that Justin could put Garrett on KK or AA because of the standard $1,200 raise from the HJ position. And Garrett Knows this. So it's never a fold in this spot! But Garrett always takes his time when analyzing. I am sure that J.R. was really comfortable when Garret started tanking and wanted him to fold AK and then even happier when he heard Garrett announce that he had two red kings.
