@@williamzagarella8066bitch please, why aren't you playing super high rollers then?

[@kylelooper2156]

If you make the decision to trap with Aces, you kind of have to call against a three card flush and straight on board at the turn. That's the spot you put yourself in. You trap against the short stack to get them to jam second best hands. You shouldn't do that if you're going to get gun shy when the board gets dangerous.

[@matta5749]

You don't trap to get paid by the second best hand. Those hands would pay you off regardless. You trap to get money from bluffs

[@NazZimou]

The heads up conversation on the river looked like a Hollywood movie lol i love Scott

[@Meletusocrates]

Except Scott Seiver was correct about that hand. Doug practically pointed out that he knew he wasn't always ahead there, he was pretty much playing pot control (and claims to have been playing his full possible range and not the hand he was holding) in case Daniel had some broadway cards without the ace, which Doug would have been beating.

[@nGUNNARp]

[@benlou3758]

I think it's important here when Scott asked whether Tobias had the ace of clubs, that should tell tobias that Scott doesnt have the nut flush and eliminates a lot of combos in his value range. Ofc it could have been a sick mind game but it wasn't, Scott was just curious and Tobias should have made the call for sure with that added info.

[@kilianbauer3942]

I don't think thats right. First of all, I don't think you can apply ranges like that. Once he begins to talk about the hand and calls out a specific card, its not a range anymore. It doesn't matter how small his range is- if he was the one to give you that information deliberately, that is nothing you can work with. What Scott tries to do here is to make his sets appeare more likely cause he is afraid that Reinkemeier has Ace of club and a queen of another suit. Ofc it is a hand that is hard to lay down, but Seiver has to try, anyways. It only eliminates the nuts of his range. But psychologically, isn't it even a sign of strength if you admit, not to have the nuts in some twisted way? And all of this is just based on the fact that Scott Seiver doesn't lie. And considering this truely outstanding tabletalk under so much pressure, I wouldn't even count on that.

[@iamamish]

@@kilianbauer3942 I think Ben acknowledged that asking about the Ace of clubs *could* have been a mind game, but I think he was genuinely asking. The point being, IF Reinkemeier believed Seiver when he asked about the Ace of clubs, then it makes it a slam dunk call, because there is no other hand that makes sense for value for Seiver other than the Ace-high flush.

Happy Days & Grease came out in the 70s, neon came back in the 80s, The 70s came back in the 90s, the 90s are back now.... that means the faux hawk will be due around 2023, and when it returns you'll have massive equity accumulated.

[@epicgurus2287]

Doug your analysis is not great on this video. If u watch the tournament beforehand, Siever was playing very tight and so his range is pretty narrow in the cutoff. Yes, Rank's hand is underrepped here but it is not a surefire call for him considering the payjumps on the final table as rank himself stated. It is naive to say this is such an obvious call--considering the ICM calculations along with seiver's perceived narrow range a fold can be totally justified. Your analysis is really poor on many videos sorry.

[@joshuapatrick682]

looking back at this and seeing Tobias left the game in like 2017-18 and his wikipedia page which has a weird final line with no references.....just odd.

[@TheManloc]

What’s the point of trapping if it’s to fold at the first sign of action! If you are scared of the flush draw well protect your hand on the flop! That’s a terrible and passive way of doing this!

[@davidmccullough653]

I agree, but I kind of suck so what do I know.

[@ShoeAlmighty]

seriously this is absurd! You trapped so you could get action, then when he gives it to you, you throw your hand away?

Exactly. He even says this himself "I was trapping, Scott". What was he hoping for, a small raise he could jam on? Daft sod levelled himself because of the stakes.

@@ShaggyRogers1 But when there are hands that Scott could be value betting that are worse than aces such as KK, KQ, and AQ, or hands that he could be bluffing such as KT or AK with a club, you have to call.

[@fundiver198]

Having a good plan and not following through on it is just as bad as having a bad plan and following though on it with full gusto. I am not a big fan of slowplaying in general. But if you do it, you HAVE to stick with your plan and call down, even when the board gets a bit scary. If you are going to fold AA in a 17 BB deep pot, just because you lose to a few select hands, then much better to go for the traditional 3-bet preflop and either pick it up or get it in.

[@cabluigi5236]

Doug, can you explain what bluffs you would have when you 3 bet off a 17bb stack? I doubt Reinkemeier has a bluffing range if he makes a small 3 bet tbh, especially from the BB.

[@bizzybeans]

Who cares

[@Stockhandle123]

Cabluigi you can’t do a small 3 bet imo. you have to jam and then you can easily balance that with bluffs.

[@trdi]

I believe that to understand Scott's reaction after fold, whole hand should be shown, uncut. Tobias was tanking for 10 minutes. Towards the end he was clearly just watching if Scott gives any tells. I think he was WAY over the line there, DN could have called the clock earlier as well. If you are fishing for tells and you can't make up your mind after Scott talks to you for a minute, just fold and stop playing. Tobias thinks he is a way better reader than he really is.

[@hihiihihihi8408]

I don't know what I just watched. He slow played the aces to get the trap, got exactly what he wanted, and then folded. It seems like a moment that was simply too big for him, more so than anything else. Almost like he intended to try to check call to a showdown with aces so as to avoid a large pot. I don't know what else would explain that move. Perhaps the little voice in his head was telling him that he would be lauded for making a great laydown or something. Rather than playing poker properly, he started playing poker for the cameras? It makes sense, I guess ... whereas the rest of that didn't.

Doug before he got comfortable in front of the camera! Love it! As far as the hand goes, one of the best successful Bluffs ever. I think Scott knew reinkemeier was trying to pay-jump which is something he mentioned in an interview before the game started. He said he wanted to win enough to walk away from poker, knowing that this play makes more sense and we all know Seiver is into the meta game.

[@xawee7254]

@@DD-vc7fq actually the way he said it does kind of give off a good vibe he doesn't have the A of clubs. Either way I feel like this should have been a call everytime and if you run into a flush well that sucks.. but you cannot slow play aces than back off when the club hits.. If you didn't think he had clubs on the flop then go with that instinct. Plus there is too many draws Seiver can have here that he would want to all-in with - A5 clubs, K10 none clubs, A10 or KQ/ AQ with the K or A of clubs.. Somehow it doesn't make sense to go all-in with the flush unless he has a low flush and wants to protect it but still.. The chance is simply too high for Seiver to have a bluff or any of those draw to let AA go..

[@McGavel1]

Awesome tips - thanks! Especially cool tips about Seiver's preflop raise size and contemplating a small 3B by the guy with AA. Lolol - "C-bet squared" then you say, "Where I come from we just call that a double-barrel." Haha, games are fun. Oh, man - the talking gets fun on the turn - epic! I give credit of that fold to Seiver's skill in "planting the seeds of demise" in villain's brain. Seed-1) Asked if villain's "best starting hand" contained the ace of clubs - implying Seiver himself didn't have it, which nobody who didn't have it would usually ever do. Seed-2) Saying, "It's just the One-Drop - it's so sick - but what can you do." ~_^

[@martinhaugaard3753]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't your logic flawed about the AA preflop flatcall from Tobias? You say Scotts range is less 77/88/AJ/AQ because he would just jam them. Therefore Scotts range consists of strong- and weak holdings. Strong, because of the 77s-argument. Weak, because he can be raise/folding - as we see with the KTs open. Just given the fact that the range you argue is on his strong side is like top 3%. That means that Scott is much more likely to have a raise/folding hand. Therefore > Flatcall, right?

[@DougPolkPoker]

You could argue he will have less bluff hands because the bluff hands mainly have an ace in them. I could see reasonable arguments both ways.

[@hanspetervollhorst1]

In case you want to plug it into a solver: Level 300k/600k with 75k Ante. Players are Negreanu (UTG), Newey (LJ), *Seiver (HJ)*, Salomon (CO), Vogelsang (D), Colman (SB) and *Reinkemeier (BB)*. Effective Stack *Preflop before Ante* is 9,600k. Total Pot before Action starts is 1,425k. Total Pot before *Flop* Action is 3,225k (~5.28 BB) with an effective Stack of 8,325k (~13.88 BB). Seiver's Flop Bet Size is ~50%. Total Pot before *Turn* Action is 6,225k (~10.38 BB) with an effective Stack of 6,825k (~11.38 BB).

Also, I know Doug doesn't like paying attention to table talk and live reads, but in my opinion, Seiver asking "aces with a club?" makes it less likely that he has the ace of clubs - possible that he wouldn't think of asking this if he knew it was impossible. That removes most of the flushes from Seiver's value range. Reinkemeier could've caught onto that.

I actually have two questions for you, Doug. #1: Would you say that the logical/analytical style (well, maybe not so much style, as style is usually used to label aggressive/passive play or similar descriptives, but let's perhaps say instead "methodology") that you employ is always the "correct" or perhaps "optimal" strategy to employ? Or do you feel that it's possible for a player skilled at quickly profiling even opponents they've never played before and intuiting responses to each opponent based on that, or perhaps some other variant strategy (such as "speechplay" etc.), to have the potential to be equally as optimal? #2: If right at this instant the US Government welcomed online poker back into the country with open arms, and thus Pokerstars was able to flood back into the market in every state. Do you think poker would experience another boom as a result (albeit a smaller, more minor boom than that of the early-mid 2000's)?

Imagine BB is playing this tight @ 11% - 22+, ATs+, KTs+, QJs, AQ+, KQ flop Qs 4c 2c, he checks and opp bets 1/2 pot... He's suppose to defend 66% of range if he thinks his opp is always betting. Let's say he defends with top 50% That's AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 44, 22, AQ, KQ, QJs. If you add AKs, AJs, ATs, KJs, and KTs (of clubs) we're at 54% of your range. The turn comes Jc, you check, opp pots (all-in). Only defending with made flushes (AKs, AJs, ATs, KTs of clubs) and QQ, JJ, QJs, 44, 22 is only about 31% of your remaining range (when you need 50% to be unexploitable) Adding AA puts you at about 41% Adding KK puts you at about 50% Adding AQ with the A of clubs puts you at about 54% This is an automatic call. Assuming his range preflop was greater than 11% makes this even more of an obvious defend. Thanks for attending my TedTalk

Even that DN's gorilla pet at 13:51 is shocked by that fold

[@SteepDescent]

This is a snap call against Scott, nothing to analyse here.

Doug, good episode of Poker Hands.

[@DanielGarcia-si5rv]

The difference between a youtube video and a poker player is we play for hours a day analyzing these situations in 1 minute hundreds of times a tournament not one hand over an hour.

[@Nakraal]

I never understood his reasoning to fold based on that he knows he is undereped. If Scott has him for lower strength a shove is more probable to seek a fold than a call.

[@gtheofanopoulos]

I can see why Scott's reaction seems inappropriate, but I believe it's a sincere reaction to another pro's play, who he knows is a very good player and feels very surprised by the fold. I don't think I would act like that myself, but I wouldn't condemn the behavior for that specific pair of players, as offensive or abusive. I believe Scott's reaction after the fold, was something like, "wtf, how can you fold there" and not “I am acting like I had a better hand and wanted a call”.

"I'm a little bit more okay with either option here" um, well said doug?

[@TraneFrancks]

Looking forward to the "Pillow Talk with Polk" pod. Kappa

[@TheGamingGuide]

Obviously a good fold lol. You really think poker would put like a deuce of hearts on river? pft come on it's poker, it would be an ace of clubs obviously

[@nGUNNARp]
