🚨KGB Unleashes RUTHLESS Poker Angle: Is this unfair??

[@brandonlogan2024]

This is far from an angle. It’s a guy having fun playing poker and how poker should be played.

[@UetliOne]

Yes! the good old mental game and not the game like today learned from books and studying gto...

[@publicaccount1589]

This was not an angle. If a guy pretends he didn't look and then overbets the pot on the river and you want to believe he didn't look? that's all on you.

[@BallyLivePoker]

lol, totally agree

[@88mphDrBrown]

It's still an angle, it's just incredibly dumb to fall for it.

Eshan: oh, you lied KGD: of course I lied, it's poker Eshan!

[@TOM-C.]

Tony G. did this same angle to Phil H. in the Big Game, of course he had looked at his cards, and lied to get Phil to call. For me, it's just stupidity to think someone is betting blind, and extremely gullible when they make the call, especially in this case with A/2! Totally fair play, not necessarily cool or gentlemanly like, but perfectly legal to lie! 👍✌

of course i lied its poker phil. Lol

[@JackJackKcajify]

yea well phil hellmuth calling at the big game , that sa huiige televised event. its different. phil should know better. but a smaller game or mid stakes game, then its super greasy. and you should regard someone who lies about betting blind as a greaseball, even if your stupid for beleiving it ( which you are). it doesnt stop them from being a greaseball just cus your stupid though.

[@JT-kv4oi]

No angle... Tony G would be proud lol

[@supdall345]

What do you expect from someone who calls themselves "KGB"?

[@raddad7441]

In poker, the word angle is used to describe a way of gaining an unfair advantage at the tables. The act of deliberately trying to find and use angles is referred to as angle-shooting. Not all forms of angle-shooting are directly against the rules of poker but telling a player you didn't look at your cards when you definitely did, is absolutely an angle.

[@GaDawg84]

This isn't an angle. What unfair advantage do you get by telling someone you didn't look at your cards?

[@joeince9430]

@@GaDawg84 you get the advantage of getting your opponent to call a big bet against you with a very marginal hand thinking that you’re just gambling with him. In my opinion it’s very bad etiquette to do something like that

[@cspgz21]

KGB is just dishonest at most. It’s the game of poker, and not being played in the back room of a church. 🤔😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@cdawgg12]

Poker tends to attract some dishonest and unethical human beings. This is a prime example of one of them

[@michaell8624]

Rad Dad, I agree with you. Just a note, angle shooting is, by definition, unethical action that is technically not against the rules.

KGB went south at 0:20

[@tomjohns8691]

Webster definition of poker: Bluff, BS, play head games, screw with, etc.. to win. The whole premises behind poker is to keep your opponents guessing. So as long as you are not cheating based on the defined rules, you have every right to "angle". Has nothing to do with being ethical since poker by default is designed to provide players the ability to achieve monetary gain by "bluffing ".

[@jimmyrounds]

He angled himself-who hasn’t seen this one?

[@drewcundari8773]

i think unless you stared at his cards from the time it left the dealers hand till the river and u don't need him to tell u tht he hasn't looked because u know 1000% he hasn't then u just pretend like its a normal hand...

[@abedobson3767]

That little chuckle was cute

[@sgp9608]

I don't know if it's an angle but it's shady af. It's no different than a beggar claim to be crippled or a veteran when they're not. It makes poker less fun and creates a lot of resentment at the table. I wouldn't wanna play against a person like that. What's next? He's gonna hide his big chips when he goes all in and then reveal them once you make the call thinking he has less?

[@sotnoscopes]

If you trust a guy that says he didnt look, you already angled yourself

[@donkeypunchout]

This is why you pay attention to everything at the table and do not look at your hand until the action is on you and even then you still watch everything going on..this is what you call getting hustled by an old school player the game was so much better before it got on TV you could say what you want good or bad, move chips towards the pot to get a reaction, stack chips in the middle of the table and leave only one chip if you did not release your hand from the stack any trick or thing you could do to help you win is gone now because the trend crowd ruined the game and now the majority of those players went broke or lost to much money and dont even play anymore..i seen dealers get spit on punched kicked you name it and the player would not even get talked to by the floor i give old school dealers credit they put up with alot of BS back in the day and kept dealing the cards like nothing happened..the crazy things that used to happen was half of the fun to go out and play because you never knew what would happen next..lesson learned dont believe a poker player at the poker table a good portion of the game is based off of you lying that is the game period..

Meh. I don't think it's a true angle shot. Looks like he was half blind, saw his first card (Ac) said he would blind rise which he did, and didn't look at the 2nd card until post flop in which he saw the 8c. Obviously he knew he had 2 pair when the As hit the turn, and then speech played the chips from his opponent's hand afterward. Not a big deal IMO. I wouldn't do that personally cause it's not my style but I don't see a problem here. Poker Etiquette faux pas at worst...
