@Dr. Phillip Montgomery it’s not pretty obvious at all what you talking about, it’s easy cos you can see the cards, stop making out your some pro. But I would of folded to because what are Dwans bluffs in that spot, barely none compared to the combinations of hands that have Garret beat

[@McBurns]

@Dr. Phillip Montgomery I would have payed Durrrr off for a variety of reasons, but that's just because I A) Know he is capable of bluffing there and while that Jack downgrades me to less than the nuts, the only hands that play this way are so weird they don't make much sense EXCEPT FOR JACKS, which if he has quads then lol he has quads. B) I wasn't around for the rest of the hands that Garret played with him before, it's entirely possible he picked up a read on Durrrr that gave him a better idea of where he was so he could fold. We do not know. The fact that you are willing to call yourself a pro, yet say how obvious this was blows my mind. Against any old player than sure, maybe, but against someone who is KNOWN for their absolutely ridiculous bluffs, I think the tank is very reasonable. The fact that Garrett didn't call shocked me, with the way the action went and the price Durrrr gave him it seemed like such an easy bluff to pick off, I guess that's why me and you are stuck in our stakes and Garrett is where he is huh XD

@@jomapuig93 easy fold. 1 bet call by Dwan preflop. Dwan can easily have 44, J10, KJ (21 combos) as well as AQ (12 combos) for chop. Less likely he could have smooth called 1010 (3 combos) but could have this considering he also smooth called JJ (1 combo) here. Unlikely he had AK, AA, KK, or QQ because he almost 100% always 3 bets these hands because he loves playing big pots so he's not bluffing with these hands either. So what do you think he is bluffing with here? AQ? not likely. Triple Js? No...he's just calling Garrett's bet on the river with these because there is no value hands to that to call them. Rainbow board so no missed flushes. So you're left with KQ or Q9 suited bluffs and Garrett has a Q blocker and that's it. EASY FOLD.

[@RobRochon]

I'm curious to know which bluff hands you can put Tom on here? Its a rainbow board with no flush draws. It was only 1 bet pre-flop call by Tom so he doesn't have AK. Garrett has AQ so he blocks other AQ bluffs - 9 combos there. Other than that which bluffs? KQ? Q9 suited? 98 suited not likely with the K on board. So maybe another 12 combos for bluffs? Made hands you can easily put Dwan on KJ, J10, 44. If he slow played maybe KK but more likely 1010. That's 24 combos.

[@TaxmanTV]

Good read by Garrett and you can see Tom's immediate yet subtle 'wtf' reaction on his face. My play with Tom's hand on the river would be to go all in, which would look a lot more like a bluff considering I checked in previous rounds. On TV, players love catching players on a bluff - so never underestimate the power of ego. While still a low % chance of a call, the reward would've been huge.

[@ivansanchez-wk2rj]

Garret makes a 3bet preflop the 90% percent of the time. With almost any hand, 96s for example. Here he just calls with AQs, maybe because he is facing Tom Dwan. In the flop a continuation bet from Tom is right, nobody gonna think we have the nuts. In the turn another bet (we are losing now), and call if we face a raise. In the river: two options. 1. Check-raise to any bet. 2. Make a pot size bet or overbet, and check-raise any bet. In this way, betting since the flop, we built a much bigger pot, than just check-calling.

[@ivansanchez-wk2rj]

I mean pot size bet or overbet, and re-raise any raise. (River 2nd option)

[@classicrestorations5552]

That has to be the greatest fold I have ever seen. Like the commentators said, he disregarded any possibility that he’s dumb enough to overbet a weaker hand for value and rationally thought through every possible hand durr could have played that way and turned in to a bluff and came to the incredibly painful but correct conclusion and simply listened to himself. That’s amazing poker.

Why a lot of poker pros are guys who could be top bankers, but they’re just a bit too weird, or have poor communication or poor team work skills, so they play a more isolated numbers game. Adelstein is cool. But he always looks high on something and super irritable, or super laid back. Some people just wouldn’t hire him because he seems too intense. Obviously likely genius or at least gifted Iq. For a while a lot of the top poker players were also bankers. They had the maths foundation and regular exposure to risk/reward.

[@commenter6722]

Fold. What use is a straight on a paired board with that kind of action? I don't even know why Garrett made that large a bet on the river. I thought he was supposed to be some big deal. What calls him there? Two pair? Would you call with two pair? It's too easy for Garrett to have a jack if Tom didn't. Weak players think holding a single jack is a strong hand there and it would be until there's that big a bet on the river. Then that's the minimum to bet with but not to call with for that much. When the board is paired and a straight is possible - with AQ, an obvious possibility given the action - both the straight and trips are in serious danger. What is calling Garrett's big bet on the river? A single jack? Garrett's fold was obvious once Tom raised. And his bet sizing on the river was a mistake. At most be should have made a small bet and folded to any raise. Tom was absolutely capable of doing exactly what he did with KK, JJ, 44, TT... Garrett is overly tuned to excessive aggression. He's not a reflective, nuanced player.

Tom Dwan has played huge cash games in Macau as well as tournaments world wide. Garrett is a skilled player but Durr is on another level.

[@kesuya]

And didn't Tom go broke in Macau and owe money to some unsavory characters?

correct

[@hayleycomet8029]

Interesting, Garrett is all wide-eyed on the flop after Tom casually checks top set, then when Garrett catches Broadway on the turn, suddenly he's all casual and eyes all totally relaxed as he bets heavy into the pot. It's interesting to see when they're strong they look weak and casual, blasé.. when they're weak, eyes wide and trying to read everyone else.. strong you look disinterested and meek. But of course everyone knows this so there's layers upon layers upon layers of deception lol.. basically I still can't trust my read on people lol

[@wrybread]

I was thinking the same. It seems like it should be possible to watch a ton of each of these guys' hands and categorize their body language and play style, but I should also say I absolutely suck at poker so what do I know.

[@NieLL1]

@@wrybread yeah but these guys are pros, they could be very well be displaying themselves like that on purpose. As the guy above said, there are layers and layers

[@wrybread]

@@NieLL1 Sure, but tendencies should still make themselves apparent over time. And by "time" I mean thousands of hands.

[@samshaw1443]

@@wrybread think how many pros are playing at the highest stakes, you’d have to watch thousands upon thousands of hands for each of them. Although i do agree that you’d end up finding a lot out about their physical tells, it’s just not feesinle to do all that research for every player.

[@AlmonteList]

looking at physical behaviour wether its controlled or natural is a start and it gets into intuitive reading peoples demeanours. I would say dwan trying to look sour when the board paired is most telling

[@Sam-db4mr]

Garrett had essentially a bluff catcher in that spot.

Tom is without a doubt, one IF not the very best High Stakes live cash player of all time!!! The guy has been playing as big as $400-$800 since he was in his early 20's. Refusing to take $200K back against Greenstein because Greenstein did not want to run it twice. Tom inspired and keeps inspiring generation after generations of young players.

If Dwan was bluffing... Would Garrett have known???

[@juanmancinas56]

Yes. The way dwan played it was super strong.

[@xpwnx4]

who checks 3 streets to raise you on the river when you overbet the pot and you unblock all the combos of value and block all the drawing combos. its just weighted too heavily towards full houses, and Overplayed J's which tom rarely has here or a straight bluff. pure bluff catcher that you block alot of the bluffs on

[@FishPoker]

One of the sickest hands ever

[@KINGPRANKTHEORIGINAL]

An excellent example of an excellent poker player. A great fold, and a hand that not many people would have escaped.

[@superlogistics1]

Dwan could be bluffing but considering g man only has a straight with the board paired he hardly had anymore showdown value . Still a great fold

[@KO-zi2xf]

Dwans hand was super disguised because of the action. A full house or quads didn’t make much sense with how it play out.
