[@JacobTindall-b4v]

Keep up the good work mate I enjoy content from you and your brother thanks for putting it out there

[@DeclanTurner-v9c]

I really like that A10 fold after 3 bet.. players like Spraggy and Rampage would have called simply because priced in and gone busto.

[@chriscolwell30]

Maybe Rampage but not spraggy

Ma non dire cagate😂

Says the poker expert yet….. I’ve never heard of him… Hendon mob Deets?

[@andyfox5943]

Simple fact is if you play tourneys for living very few players in the world make a profit , cash is a much better prospect to make 💰

[@johnny207]

Rampage yes, but definitely not Spraggy with the AT hand.

K5s call off 11BB 4 left? Feels loose... but I am just recreational so what do I know. Nice run anyway!

[@Brichou89]

Same feelings

[@matthewstaplespoker]

That guy was a maniac but I regret that hand for sure.

[@michaelgivan1616]

I think it’s alot closer than people think. You have great equity against a massive range of hands.

I wonder how the video is going to end, that title doesn't give much away.🤣

Nice run. Too many outs!!

CHICKEN.

Complete-fold the Q2 pf. Complete fold the 22. Otherwise, great score great video.

[@flyingguru517]

november stil in the beach,and he comes to manchester , that sounds a very bad move

[@scotttavernier720]

Great score! One critique is at the end there that Q2 off jam blind vs blind. Not worth it even with a player short. Just muck it and move on

[@dvyratukas]

Thats any two shove 100%. It is correct

[@matthewstaplespoker]

Raise or shove I think are better than fold!

[@christophermc2]

@@dvyratukasnot vs second in chips when it’s half your stack. There was a 3 and 9ish big blind stacks he could’ve folded and chip dispersal would’ve made for a better 3 handed and heads up plus he’s not risking like 6K in ICM

There's a bigass question mark at the end. Amazing title so as not to ruin the outcome of the tournament.

[@granthatcher]

Horrid run on final table, really. Nice you still locked up 2nd, congrats!

[@brentsenior7830]

Wow runner runner housed the poor guy something like 5 away from a wcoop final wirh 16k uptop. His laptop got demolished after that bad beat.

[@matthewstaplespoker]

tough one

[@Patrick-np7qq]

I don't understand. Critizing a dude who jams A3 off for only 7-8 Bigs but you jammed KJ off yourself for 11 bigs.

[@matthewstaplespoker]

Don't remember the spot, can you timestamp?

[@chiefcdot9615]

Don’t really wanna give there broadways all a free card 1:35… that u essentially have drawing stone dead except flush draws that r getting it in anyways .. some of your logic makes 0 sense, and 0 point in balancing if thats your thought process in a 22$ MTT

Noice🎉

@@juliusherschel9686 thanks

[@mattjones6845]

2nd place is a true win for your generation.

[@grantyouthis1]

why dont you just fold instead of applying pressure on the FT? its not like you're fighting for bounties? you have a 3:1 lead on the guy sitting In 2nd on the FT and you decide to open rip k4hearts... ofcourse you will run into hands better than yours or even mediocre hands that know you're shoving so wide? Prolly would've won if not shoving those Q2o and k4h on the FT.. huge punts the way I look at it.

[@joshwakirk1468]

How do you handle not making any money or very little money for tens of thousands of games? I mean, a year without income. i make $150k a year. no matter how good i get at poker, I'll never be able to get that every year. Obviously, you're paid to play by the site but that's not an option for anybody else..

[@joshwakirk1468]

@@xRakanishu I didn't answer my own anything. There is no shot he's making 6 figures from the site. It's just not reasonable. You can't live off $30k a year in America

[@xRakanishu]

@@joshwakirk1468 He doesn't need to make six figures to live lol, also he's not in America. If you want a real answer, dude's got multiple streams of income when you include streaming revenue and youtube revenue (his channel's metrics are going to land him in high 4-figure ranger per month), then whatever he makes as a Pokerstars partner and whatever else he has going on that's not public. He's doing just fine.

[@matthewstaplespoker]

I am not the benchmark for making money in poker. Lots of people are doing better on the tables and have better systems and results or w/e! Just cause I am not crushing it every year doesn't mean it isn't possible.

[@cojofoplays1837]

that is a terrible result - gambling way too much from the chip lead with suboptimal hands like K2, Q4

[@bretcheesman-wf4sz]

Why, just why? That Q🦆-off shove on the FT was a mind-boggling & atrocious punt🤦🏼 Bro just drove all the way down the field & then punted from the opponents 2yard line on 1st & goal 😆🤯 I know it was an extremely short-stacked FT but damn man i don't see how that could have ever been a good play in ANY SITUATION! & please don't get me confused im not hating or talking shit, I WANNA SEE YOU GET SOME W'S BROTHER!!! GREAT RESULT NONETHELESS 👏👏& YOU'LL GET THE NEXT 1, LET'S GO!!!

[@B0bi_007]

you dont understand ICM in short handed turbo spots

[@bretcheesman-wf4sz]

@B0bi_007 whatever you say bud... Evidently the guy who snapped him off w/the A10o with a 4bb stack still at the table couldn't care less about ICM. I do know that folding there, looking for an even SLIGHTLY better spot, & maintaining the 2to1 chip lead while keeping that micro stack alive is far more valuable than shoving w/a crappy q high & praying the BB wakes up w/garbage & will fold. You can't just always assume the other guy cares about laddering & is going to fold basically everything just because there's a sub 5bb stack & ICM 🤦🏼. ICM isn't everything & honestly is hardly relevant when the pay jumps aren't massive. If the jumps were MUCH LARGER yes it'd be INCREDIBLY RELEVANT & a much better play!! In this particular situation though not so much, & again maintaining a 2 to 1 chip advantage on your closest opponent is FAR MORE VALUABLE than shoving in that spot, be it a turbo or not. Some of these "standard" plays/spots nowadays are exploitable AF & that's why that guy beat Matt into the pot bcuz he knew that shoving w/high-low in these ICM spots has now become a regular occurrence. It CLEARLY was the wrong play regardless of what you think you "know/understand" about short handed turbo ICM spots. Imo Q8o should be THE ABSOLUTE WORST Qhigh you shove right there & that's still questionable considering how short they were playing. Matt is WAY better than I am & I bet if you asked him now he'd say in hindsight that he'd tighten up the range a bit & would not shove that exact spot every time.

[@matthewstaplespoker]

I think shove or raise and then fold are the best two options! I have good reasons for shoving remember that. It's not just cause I like putting all my chips in randomly.
