[@runthenumbers9698]

That wasn't a dunce move. It was actually a good bluff. 99 had her, diamond connectors had her, and his moves all made perfect sense with either of those things. However... his moves made more sense with top tier hands such as AA, kK, QQ, AKd, and all of those hands would have lost. Both players made good moves... and both players were being too aggressive. That SHOULD HAVE been a fold on her part. Sure, she got it right... but this was early tourney. There were about 10 very plausible hands that could have ended her tournament. That's WAY too risky to not place over it.

Bluffing during a poker hand is intense. You don't know whether your opponents hand is really good or bad. Opponents bluff by betting so you would doubt your own hand's strength that you would fold so the opponent just wins all the money. If you want to keep playing you must pay the amount the opponent bets.

Jamie's hand was crazy, the guy with QQs was a super amateur, you can never guess that, good job calling him down. so sick

If you make it, you are the hero, if not ... it will hunt you forever. I tink the turn wasn't a good call, you can run into anything there ... but hey she won, I once won with 4 9 off against A A, was still a bad play, just lucky river/turn hits ;)

[@bharathrhamkodungudi8277]

It all came down to whether or not she called in the end. If she hesitated and decided to fold instead of all inning, it would have been a great bluff. Clearly she was the better player for thinking it through and calling his bluff, but still.

[@mercilpb]

Jamie's spot was absolutely disgusting. Calling and folding both seem terrible

[@Pebble_Collector]

QxQd was prolly most likely hand in that spot lol. That's what I'd have went with if i had to name a specific hand. To put it super simply: JJ is a call here anyway, it's too high up in our range. You're folding too much if you fold JJ there. We can even have QQ, KK or AA here sometimes so if you're wanting to fold hands in that strength area then fold them first. Very likely he has an overpair with a diamond here. :)

[@jeffstut55]

If he raises preflop and bets out of position on the flop, you can put him on a pocket pair or something like AK. The fact that he continues to bet into a possible straight and a possible flush confirms that he's trying to buff a hand that was only good on the flop.

But Shulman isn't going to be lead by the nose with someone who starts with a min of trips. The guy literally shot his wad with the $8000. It would take a full house or better for a good poker player to get really aggressive after that. And that's not likely. It's not a dumb move to rep you're counter-bluffing. Especially with someone that's aggressive. Have you ever played with an aggressive player that calls all your raises when you have the nuts? Like they just assume you're always bluffing? Not a dumb call at all to raise, IMHO.

[@avisco01]

For those who keep commenting that they have no idea why they're watching this since they don't know how to play poker, its simple. It's just a really good video! Also, poker is a great metaphor for life. A lot of games are like that of course. The psychological element of poker, trying to make the best decision one can with incomplete information and no knowledge of how one's best intentions will turn out...well, that kinda is life. My two cents on each hand for no real reason other than boredom (and to make those who don't understand poker feel even dumber, and for those who do understand poker to call me an idiot.) Hand 1: Re-raising isn't terrible there. The meta-game implies his opponent is aware of his style. He might have just called (thinking he's just re-raising for info) and planned to check-raise any card on the turn. Hard to know what would have happened, but clearly results based thinking indicates he made the wrong play as it shut down the hand. Calling on a rag board like that screams monster to me, so re-raising would seem to indicate he was trying to make it look like he didn't have a monster. Tough one. Hand 2: Fold pre-flop. Likely up against a bigger pair (typed that before seeing results which turned out to be a great outcome). But JJ is not strong in that spot and its too early in that particular tournament to mess around with anything other than QQ or higher (in my opinion but I'm really tight). Hand 3: Bet the flop, why not? Lots of cards could show up on the turn which would put your hand in jeopardy and you have no idea what the guy flat called with... who is a great player. You have position though so not terrible I guess. I'd say betting the flop around 75% of the time in that spot is best though. Turns out he just played it amazingly well on the river, I doubt I'd ever make the guts to make big a bluff like that. I say bluff because it was clear his opponent had something big since he went in the tank that long. Probably a medium Q. Anyway, he's way better at poker than me (along with everyone in the video) to make a play like that on the river.

Lmao Nick Schumann raising with Quads on a rainbow board 4x the flop raise is by far the WORST play I’ve ever even heard of. RIP 💀💀💀

[@h4ze-z5y]

well it's definitely not the best option, but it's not THAT bad in this particular situation. Nick said that they're both prefer "hyper-agro" play-styles, which usually creates some pretty interesting dynamics between players, especially good ones. the thing is.. in this spot, when Nick raises, he represents a very-very narrow range of hands. also, if he had trips or better, would he want to raise them right away? things like that may force the opponent to play back at you in some way, or try floating with Ace-highs, King-highes, maybe some decent backdoor draws simply because they think that you're bluffing too much here. so yea, there is some sense to be raising even quads on such a dry boards VS good players, but in general, calling will always be the best option :)

[@yanniclaube633]

I actually don’t mind to raise on a paired board. Many villain are betting almost 100% of their range with a small size on such a dry board texture. This creates the opportunity to raise with a lot of bluff. The opponent has a hard time to figure out the right frequency to defend and will probably overfold. However, to balance out your x r range you have to put in also some value hands. All in all it is of course a very exploitable approach but especially against over aggressive opponents a valid strategy.

[@EuthanizePitbulls]

If it's a bad play it's due to the fact that it's bad to raise any hand in this spot/texture. The fact that he has quads isn't what makes it a bad play.

[@Dogeek]

First one : He had a quad on the flop (first three cards) which is one of the best combinations in poker. Given his position, he shouldn't have raised, but called, to get more money out of his opponent. Second one : She has three of a kind with jacks. That's a very strong hand, and in that situation, the only hand that beats her is a straight (7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - J) so the only hand that beats her is an 8-9, later the only card needed is a 9 to get the straight and beat her. Ensues her calling the bluff of her opponents because they were inconsistent with their betting on the pot. Last one : He has two pairs, and it's not a very good hand by any means. Ensues him bluffing out a pro player at the worl championship. Parker thought that Asher has a full of queens by the kings (Q-Q-Q-K-K) which is not in fact true. It's a very tense moment, because Parker thought about it for 8 minutes trying to read Asher's face and call his bluff. 8 minutes is a long time in poker, it's basically an eternity.

[@bondrewdthebondad9079]

gotta love them youtube recommendations, watch the whole vid

[@jakecooper5855]

In the 2nd hand, if she decided the opponent was an amateur there's not much point trying to figure out what they're representing at the end of the hand and whether the story is consistent. You've already made the decision they're not thinking that way! An aggressive amateur player is just as likely to have A9dd there as any over pair or a lower set, and play all the same way.

[@OriginalMindTrick]

4betting a9 in a 10k event by some low stakes amateur is unlikely. Even hyper aggro donks tend to tighten up with that much money at stakes (usually).

[@jakecooper5855]

That's probably true, but considering this person shoved one pair on the river in a 10k event it seems possible. You could swap A9 for AKdd instead and I think the same thing would apply.

[@treebro001]

The only value hand he can have here she would lose to is AKdd. Most players would flat 99 in the bb and nearly 100% of bad players would. Most bad players might also call AKs because they consider it a "drawing hand". The only hands I had in the players range when watching through were KK and AA with a small amount of QQ. It is true that the player could just be going crazy some percentage of the time and hit with a 9 but even with that being said folding the river is a massive mistake.

[@decswinburne9531]

This video really makes me wanna watch pro poker

[@pupop3310]

Bluffing and waiting for someone to take action is the most anxious part of poker

[@thechelonian8079]

I have no idea what's going on but it sounds intense

[@rockstanzo]

came back to this after seeing asher run deep in the main

[@EfftingES]

Not gonna like, was expecting more out of the first hand... Like, runner runner bigger quads or something, that wouldve been sick

[@olivierdubois9372]

I'm really bothered by the fact that the third hand didn't show the opponent's cards. Was he bluffing or did he really have a strong hand?

[@Inoffensive_name]

He had a strong hand. You can't bluff an all in call. Its literally impossible to win. If he was bluffing before our guy shoved, he would have folded instantly. If he took 8 minutes to think (which is ludicrous btw) he definitely had a very strong hand. Possibly AA or a king.

[@hanheeyang9837]

Can someone explain what the opponent of Jamie needed to do to represent 9s on the river?

[@ignaciosavi7739]

He would not have bet so big before he knew a 9 would make him win.

[@ThePhobiaCrew]

that last hand took balls of steel

[@callingallrunaways6008]

4:48. The absolute madman

[@borednsleepy]

the frustration is REAL

[@FirelyGrim]

The one time I had four of a kind it was also 7s

[@needpit1]

The QQ vs JJ hand gave me anxiety

[@causethisisthriller2729]

I don't even know how to play poker or know the terms why am I watching this?

[@noThankyou-g5c]

using dollar signs for tournament poker is more confusing than helpful imo for people who arent in to poker that much

[@christianmillan1294]

Whenever I donk out I'll watch this video and feel less sad.

[@longlivelife3173]

Not betting after the flop seems like a pretty bad mistake to me. But what do I know.

[@chrisjones245]

my worst was amazing.... It would take too long to tell you but it ended up being good for me and my freinds

[@Paigerverse]

God the pocket queens was so bold😂😂
