Phil Laak is right. It drives me nuts when players start gabbing about the hand when there's three players in the pot.

[@daleharris3809]

It's worst when there's side pot action. The players still to act often think just because a player is all in means it's ok to talk about their hands, not realizing they could say something that could impact that players odds.

@@lennartherrmann3057 doesn’t take a genius to see what has happened to our country and culture. Everything is offensive, everyone is a “victim,” and unless you fall in line and obediently agree with the mainstream narrative, you’re smeared with endless labels. Old saying: if you’re not a liberal/leftie when you’re in your 20s, you don’t have a heart, and if you’re still a liberal/leftie when you’re in your 30s, you don’t have a brain. Liberals and lefties - which are effectively the same faction/unit today - have emasculated men and vilified masculinity labeling it “toxic masculinity” and that in tandem with their assault on speech and even thought, identity politics, political correctness which is just a polite form of fascism and silencing of dissent, is 75% of the reason why we have quiet, passive, and uncharismatic pros now as opposed to before when we had loads of charismatic, funny, talkative, and entertaining players.

Poker is so different now. Gabe Kaplan's analysis is hilariously 1990's poker.

[@d0zeboy]

Hilariously maybe, but over indexing on GTO and other modern analysis is also foolish. Where real poker happens between human beings is somewhere in the middle -- fundamental game strategy, and awareness of GTO concepts. In other words, what Gabe Kaplan says is no less interesting today, nor is it incorrect

[@seankiesling2054]

To be fair GTO wasn't really a thing 10-11 years ago when these were made... Gabe has been playing at these levels with these very same players so he does have some interesting insight as to what's going on....the game within the game.

11:46, personally I think a nice bet sizing from Esfandiari would be $130k - $132k ... it doesn't look too bluffy at all, rather it looks more like a value bet. An all-in would look a little too suspicious and Benyamine with two-pair would be sitting there with a great bluff-catcher against something like AKo/AQo. Just my thoughts. Obviously I don't have several million dollars and will never be one of the poker greats, but I would've played it that way and if I was wrong then tough luck/bad timing (not necessarily bad play).

AA was the hand Ivey put him on. But for some reason, there IS the possibility of a straight, so Yukon can rep those kind of hands like AA and sets (although highly unlikely a good player takes this route with the over shove on flop) and straights.
