@@wuamiller he knew other player was on tilt, the commentators mentioned it in the beginning. If you flop quads you already won... you have two options check and represent nothing or bet and represent high pair/set. That's what he did. He correctly read that the other player was playing a pair pre-flop, maybe aces, maybe kings and the other player believed he had connected AQ or KQ with the board or was straight up bluffing because of the consecutive high bets. It's like reverse psychology, if you do the opposite of what you're supposed to do it makes it harder for your opponent to read your hand. It doesn't work always but with good reads and a little luck it's the best way to play quads, specially since the 3x 8k preflop bet was already cushioning any folds. Flopping quads is not easy to play. If you put your opponent on high cards the max extraction value is often low if you play by the book.

[@wuamiller]

Danjimaru did you even watch how the hand played out? Lewis was in position after the flop.... Robl led into him.... why would Lewis raise in position? If Robl had AA or KK he would’ve almost for sure 3-bet pre.... Robl very very rarely has AA/KK there.... and Lewis has QQ so what possible hands is Robl leading on the flop there? A9, JT, JJ, TT, maybe some suited KT/KJ/J8/T8 hands that have gunshot and backdoor flush outs.... it’s actually kinda surprising he led into the raiser with 99 Lewis got so lucky that Robl had the one single hand where raising actually works in his favor Also... if Robl WAS on tilt, why would Lewis raise in position? Would he not want Robl to keep blasting off if he’s bluffing and on tilt?

[@jefflarson1652]

@@wuamiller Poker players of this caliber in Robl's position don't recognize a slow play of a big hand? What would a call by Lewis have signaled? That he had a hand he couldn't let go of? Robl still would have needed what he had in order to keep betting into it. This hand was going to end up the way it did regardless of how it was played.

[@tumbodadon9105]

[@adamcj73088]

Clearly Lewis wanted to play it like he had something other than quads. You’re not supposed to re-raise with the nuts after the flop therefore doing so makes your opponent think you don’t have the nuts. It was not a horrible play it was a calculated brilliant play. Posturing like he’s scared about the next cars coming and what’s to end it right away. He bluffed him just the same making him think he had worse cards than he did. Brilliant

[@kyng5089]

bruhhhhhh

[@DMTsmoke]

The issue is that Lewis blocks so many of the hands that Robl represents or could call a raise with. For every crazy situation like this, there will many times where Robl is just bluffing. The optimal play is is to flat call and allow Robl to continue his bluffs as opposed to showing strength and providing an opportunity to fold. Lewis' flop raise didn't change the outcome here whatsoever, but his raise could've cost him value against bluffs.

There's no limit to the number of times I can watch this hand. The commentary from Sexton and Laak is perfect. One thing I'll say about the hand itself: The 9 on the river didn't change anything. All the money was going in no matter what. Damned sick cooler.

[@skyeangelofdeath7363]

@@Matttakala I'm glad we have this full clip, it's sO entertaining. But it would have been funny if Robl had folded when he raised. Which was very possible; as Mike Sexton said he has just about the only hand he's gonna continue playing.

[@aheroictaxidriver3180]

@@skyeangelofdeath7363 LOL. You're horrible at NLH. Why would Robl lead into the PF raiser and then fold when the PF raiser continued with his aggression??? It makes absolutely no sense for Robl to do that. That's why it's called a donk bet; only a horrible player would do that, especially at a televised final table.

[@skyeangelofdeath7363]

@@aheroictaxidriver3180 You're reading comprehension is awful. Obviously Robl is not folding here because of the hand he holds. My comment is directed at the play of Lewis. Since both Mike Sexton & Phil Laak both agree with my position on that; I believe the issue is settled.

[@aheroictaxidriver3180]

@@skyeangelofdeath7363 It doesn't have anything to do with the hand he holds, genius. Leading into the preflop raiser and then folding if he raises would be lighting chips on fire.

Just because he says quads doesn't mean Robl should think he's saying "I have Quad Queens" The guy could be saying "Quads" like it was a question to Robl…"Do you have Quads?" When you just let out a statement and not a full sentence, it's hard to understand what you're saying. You have to play poker to understand where the misunderstanding occurred.
