Nik Airball Is STUNNED By This!!!

[@PokerCoaching]

What’s YOUR favorite poker stream to watch? 🤔

[@overlayklips3382]

Definitely HCL but only when Peter is playing. He's the 🐐 of the game

[@Apocalypse_Promotions]

Jaman Burton

[@untouchable360x]

Rampage. He made me realize that high stakes players are not that good. They just got lucky early in their career.

[@emerj101]

Triton, hands down! Whether SHR tournaments or cash, the production is so good and the level of play is amazing… especially when they play short deck.

[@UtzChips2009]

I use to watch HCL when Garrett played, now I don't watch much but never HCL.

[@untouchable360x]

"How did Nik Airball become a millionaire?" He started off as a billionaire.

[@GregF-k7w]

his parents must be embarrassed. He is a good example why you NEVER give children serious money

[@JensThomasNepper]

yes, true😂

[@MikeLopez-iv5kc]

It’s fucken bitcoin, relax

[@chinito1724]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chinito1724]

I have wondered how some goof troops have so much money while some very intelligent people don't

[@ClimbMitBourbon]

He absolutely lost that hand because he opened his mouth.

[@apolicum]

So if you have the nuts and went all in, you should start talking?

[@Al_is_XXX]

​@@apolicumI think that you should stfu, stare at the table, answer no questions, absolutely blank face....zero tells. We all like to think that we can lie, but it is very difficult to get away with it all the time, and some people just have a sixth sense ...so give them zero clues Obviously hairball doesn't agree with this, but he just lost 400k, partly because he opened his big fat mouth and tried to be cheeky

[@marcuslarwa9098]

I don’t think it’s because he was talking I think it’s what he said. First he says I think I know what you have then he said I have to have it at least one time. Why would he say something like that if he knew what he had and would want him to call.

[@travislusby1892]

Talked him right into calling

[@nollieRR]

@@apolicumnot the point. Airball is the biggest donk in the game

[@veryhuman7472]

"did you see my hand!?" like bro, i seen all the other hands you've played

[@moneymikz]

Airball I can’t believe my zero equity bluffs with no blockers never work 🤣

[@gregpey]

Yeah he said how did he call with his hand. I'm thinking why u bet with yours

[@newstandardaccount]

@@gregpey "Hmmm, people keep stacking off against me with middle pair, I wonder why that is?" - questions Airball should be asking himself more frequently

[@J-Bags]

Man I hate when someone makes a great call and is treated as if they’re a bad player for calling by the loser.

[@nollieRR]

Typical clown airball shit. Never surprising

[@charless2684]

Not a good call based on the cards...but Airball is an idiot and talked him into it.

[@Chadsgameroom13]

​@@charless2684I think it was a great call. Any pair is going to be good against airball 66% of the time. In any case just call him down with any pair and long term you'll be a winner against him.

[@joebowl8315]

That was a horrible call wtf are you on about you're only saying that cuz u see the cards

[@denisfolcik1373]

Airball: All I do is bluff, how do these donkeys keep calling me light? It makes no sense.

[@tramdr]

I saw Helmuth do the same thing. He bluffed the pot before and showed. Next hand an amateur called him down with 2nd pair. Helmuth had nothing. Helmuth went ballistic and said how can this stupid donkey call me down with 2nd pair? The other pro's at the table said well maybe because you showed your bluff the hand before.

[@natecrosman7732]

@@tramdr That's hilarious. I like the idea that Helmuth thought he was making huge brain moves by showing a bluff, then bluffing again, because why would someone do that, so it must be reverse psychology, meanwhile the guy calling him is just an amateur who probably doesn't care about any of that.

[@monologgue]

Airball was practically begging him not to call by the end. “Surely i cant always be bluffing” reverse-psychology failed 😂

[@michaelfsolis]

100%😂 he was begging him to fold

[@natecrosman7732]

Yeah, it's like his real frustration at repeatedly being called was getting to him, and he accidentally let it out by pleading like "come on man, I've been bluffing all night, just let me have this"

[@randygrandwizard4940]

As soon as he said may the most handsome man win this nick was 0% to win the pot

[@johnzjli]

He called me with an Ace Jack, Honey!

[@resarfekim]

LoL @ Phil

[@wreckingKREW1]

I know he did,pudding. He's probably some dumb internet player or something.

[@DPearls24]

Airball is committing the biggest sin by talking up his opponent rather than staying quiet and letting Stan stew. I think THAT is the major reason he gets called. Who is bankrolling Airball when he makes these ridiculous bets?!

[@andydevinewine]

His daddy

[@BjoernArvidsson]

Im sure that Nick trying so hard to talk him into a fold is not helping him in this situation

[@jmaessoan1]

Lol at Stanley's nod to the J4 hand. "Somebody beep me!"

[@YTSparty]

Probably not a good thing to do when you're bluffing is say "I have to have it".

[@natecrosman7732]

Maybe he thought he was being so blatant with it, that Stanley would think it was reverse reverse psychology.

[@jeffv3296]

I’m just a recreational player, but the way Nik was betting and acting-he wasn’t betting to grow the pot and win more-it was quite obvious to me that he was just betting to get the guy to fold-which would indicate that he has a weak hand. Nik didn’t look comfortable at any moment in the hand.

[@Montieken1]

I noticed everytime airball bluff's he takes a sip of his drink.

[@bchishi8339]

Been observing that as well

[@KaineTremaine]

It's actually good to see someone do everything wrong.. Super transparent sipping attempting to appear strong 🤣

[@geo_YT88]

he was gulping

[@dopaz9616]

Everyone’s favorite: the drink tell

[@truckguy6.7]

and he did that on purpose to make himself look weak. Reverse, reverse tell. Way over done though

[@gymroid]

0:20 damn he really didnt like his cards

[@kenyonferguson1243]

Lmao disgusted disgruntled older euro

[@markd9318]

Why would you play so risky against billionaires? They can lose money all day every day and it's nothing to them

[@8mondaymonkey]

He didn’t call with J4 airball. Relax.

[@HowardRoark1]

Is there any info how much Airball is down lifetime?

[@crypty9365]

He is up half a mil life time, Jboogs is up 800k life time.

[@emerj101]

I remember watching this live… instant CLASSIC!

[@blackbeardgoatjr2434]

His table talk induced the call

[@jeremywright5036]

Airball talked Stanley into calling. I would of called him. He should shutup when his bluffing and talk when he has it.

[@ikrenji8125]

that's also a tell no? he should just shut up in general

[@johannessmithenstein]

I think a more general rule is: Don't try to bluff billionaires with bets of 200k

[@LIONTAMER3D]

His name is AIRBALL & he wonders why he gets called...bluffing a billionaire...on a draw heavy board...with no blockers...while taunting his opponent (you taunt when you want a call)...overbetting the turn AND the river (you overbet when you want to represent a bluff, i.e. you're not bluffing but want your opponent to think you are)...when the draws hit the turn AND the board pairs on the river...after getting "called on every hand"...WTF?!

[@jkapown]

It was that comment about having too statistically have it after bluffing all night that was the "tell" for Stanley.

[@fialee8]

There is a reason why they say don't start talking during the hand. It's a tell that you got a weak hand (more often than not).

[@marcjtdc]

Must say Stanley does have nice hair.

[@joejoe04]

I know it's easy to sit here and say this, but I actually don't see this as a particularly tough call. If you're going to sit down with Airball, you can never fold here. Variance will be crazy, but in the long run, you print money.

[@robertshirkey3758]

Bets 160k and immediately tries too hard to look casual by sitting back with water. Snap call at that moment

[@bluemonk611]

Stanley watched Nik's stack move all over the table and couldn't risk missing out on the donations by Airball.

[@Kiwi88]

It is so funny to see his bluffs backfiring, haha. And he's still wondering how come Stanley didn't fold as he wished. 🤣

[@7demo7review]

Airballs had a tell- forced openness - drinking water, looking the opponent in the eyes, trying to look confident

[@fishpiefly413]

The death stare really gives it away

[@l.ls.8890]

I love it when AB gets stacked. He opened his mouth too much trash talk.

[@briangrewe9849]

I thought he looked like he was about to push all in... Where can I join to play against yall? freeroll?

[@krampusiswatching]

I love the perplexed looks by Airball when his shit plays get called down, like hes deeply analyzing anything.

[@jarirepo1172]

Nik Airball: "I have been bluffing all night... How did you make that call?" How strange, indeed.

[@joshb3454]

I know I can see the cards but Airball is oozing bluff energy with statement at 7:04 I think I know what you have, then leaning in and staring at Stanley. Does anyone think this is a tell of weakness?

[@theQueensofPoker]

Then Nick tries to act like Stanley made a bad call or saw his hand lol. He gave it away by what he said if not the obvious overbets. Plus you can't bluff someone who doesn't care that much about money.

[@EL.SN1P3R]

Going for the water was obvious call😂😂

[@geoffmurphy1631]

Only guy I like to see lose more is that Persons D

[@dr.mark.b.hubble]

Dude might have put Airball on Q-J based on the action. Makes sense with the turn card being a 10.

[@sagidegon9003]

Good point at the end!

[@PokerCoaching]

Thanks!

[@chrisjackson3955]

Soon as he opened his mouth I call so obvious

[@BSweetVideos]

Anytime I see HCL videos with their old chips it's depressing because the games were sooo good back then compared to now.

9:50 airball questioning his life choices

[@jrdnjrvs]

Airball loses his soul at 8:53 lol

[@JensThomasNepper]

I understand Airball, the call with JJ, is insane, perhaps he saw his hand😮

[@junito1008]

Worst thing to do when you’re bluffing is to talk and this hand is the proof. 😂

[@PokerCoaching]

True. Unless you are a master in these spots. Charlie Carrel comes to mind for these things.

[@omsval1485]

Watching Nik Air Ball he is simultaneously a fucking fool and a fucking genius

[@bepriceless]

Why not make Airball shows his cards first?

[@andrewbonnard7855]

"How do they call with these hands?" Also Airball giving off every weak tell known to man 🤣

[@StunDan]

anyone knows what percentage of themselves on average these players have?

[@allenh5389]

Love the use of the word airball here

[@CrabbyOldLady]

Airball thinks it's still 1982

[@DatAceTho]

6:00 he ain't checking or betting half pot! I know that...

[@cperalez]

it is a master of live tells (speech - positionning - eye looking....). You need to discuss live tells - the decision is partly based on this!!!!

[@Author-dad-veteran]

Nick was talking, stating and trying to affect the choice, that’s what people do when they don’t have it.

[@DEviceJR]

Soon as he said that he's been bluffing all night and mathmatically he has to have it one time was a last ditch subliminal effort to get him to fold since Nick knows his image well enough that if someone tanks long enough vs him it favors a call and they are just trying to justify following through with the call. This is also followed by the uncomfortable physical tell with putting his hoodie front pockets for "comfort"

[@Grigorii-j7z]

If they have a history of matches or if Stanley prepared for this table watching other games, he could know that Airball is prone to reckless bluffs and just caught him on the big one.

[@jamestan4425]

He saw his hand stanley told me after the game. Good for him

[@Illiadofmalorne]

One of the 10 commandments of Poker would be to never bluff the whale. That and it doesn't help to literally beg the person not to call with your voice almost breaking.

[@DatAceTho]

10:00 If Garrett can accuse his opponent of cheating, why can't Airball?

[@vvmcnamara]

If I'm calling that a nit-roll, I probably in my feelings and need to take a step back. He should have said "kings are good here. Not saying it would work, but I that is the move as far as speachplay,

[@tommypitcock9928]

Nic covered every tell from start to finish i counted 7 tells

[@MichaelrennieG]

If he saw the hand, he would not have waited so long

[@dr.options]

I wonder if the way Airball staring him down is a "Tell". That seems to be out of character for him. The way he's talking suggest he is weak, too.

[@EbonKim]

I know it's an unwritten rule not to look at other people's hands, but if I can see your hand, I'll tell you to protect your cards, and that I can see your hand. I look at people's cards for tells, not to actually see the hand. If you can't protect your cards, don't play poker.

[@Sandy-gn7yz]

if air ball said nothing.. THE GUY WOULD HAVE FOLDED

[@backpacker3421]

Nik can't be all that shocked. You can't play as wide and bluff as often as he does and still be surprised at hero calls after all this time unless you're an idiot. A hero call against Nik has got to be at least a break even play. Plus his table talk was a giveaway if you ask me. "I've got to have it at least once"

[@crypty9365]

Did he just say Stanley was slow rolling nik air all in the end of the video? What lol.

[@nickspitzer1896]

he's a billionaire whats 160k peanuts bluffing the wrong person

[@jmon4286]

Nik bet 6k into a 13.2k pot on the flop. Not 7.2k Jonathan.

[@jaygeez1]

“I’ve been bluffing all night, I have to have it sometime… mathematically” bro basically told him “please don’t call I’m still bluffing.” Nik should of kept his mouth shut.

[@stevenreber1887]

It's as simple as this. Nik talks a lot when bluffing, and silent with a good hand. Every single time. Yes, nik, we basically see your hands. 😂

[@sanekabc]

Why do you think he could be slow rolling? He loses to an AQ , a K and a Q9.

[@nandisaand5287]

Nik just needs to move up in stakes to where they'll respect his raises

[@slowfuse]

I'm folding the flop, I'm folding the turn and I am sure as hell folding the river. These dudes are nuts.

[@dinodoljanin2713]

"i know what you have". Yes Nick. Whole table knows he has AJ and there is the problem. Question is do you bet for value against AJ with x2 pot. See how amazed you are bcs he called. He called bcs its obv you dont want him to call. Betting 160 in 80 against AJ is not something you balance, not ever. You never gonna provoke someone into hero calling with 2nd pair. You polarize with nuts against strong range not against middle pair.

[@steventogami898]

Billionaires play high stakes poker, until they get bored. Winning, losing, doesn’t matter much. They want to look smarter with the correct play, most of the time.

[@mykelengieza7057]

I Is he surprised people think he's bluffing? He plays just to bluff

[@aliabidi1327]

Nick is trying so hard to sell his bluff, I would of called him

[@powerbluess]

I guess these people know that anyone can see the cash table on KZbin and see how your opponents play every hand, I don't why he is surprised by the call. Good call by the way

[@stevent425]

Do not forget this amount of money means nothing to the guy that made the call!!!

[@howard5992]

and it's not even the money - he's been playing and winning for a long time

[@Jukkala]

I loved that look on his face. Nikhil is such a punk. I guarantee he is just pissing away a trust fund. You NEVER try to talk your opponent into folding. WTF!

[@ZayoBaio]

People watch Hairball play just to see him loose.

[@jasonbatteiger2421]

the guess: considering you made a video about this hand, at least 150 dimes on river. and i'd lean just over a 3 pot shove is coming in the next few seconds.

[@jasonbatteiger2421]

i said that before knowing you had options like the site quizzes, i'm going with the shove (255.4 dimes) and with his rep it might not work but i don't know stanley like at all to have a framework on that guess. but if stanley called the turn and gets this river against this opponent gotta think an over GTO defense minimum call for sure.

[@jasonbatteiger2421]

smart bookie-line setting instincts on me setting that "at least 150 dimes on river" and anchored myself there prior to your 160 option.

[@srki22]

The lesson learned: you don't bluff billionaires.

[@rogerrules123]

he bets 160 and gets called

[@olshuck8510]
