Should Dan Colman Fold POCKET ACES In This $828,000 Pot?!

In this blast from the past, 2016 Doug Polk reviews this incredibly sick hand from the Super High Roller Cash Game on PokerCentral. One Drop winner Dan Colman faces off against Scott Seiver. Colman has pocket aces, but as the pot bloats to nearly one million dollars, he finds himself pondering a fold. What would you do in this spot?

Doug what about floats in position? Should we ever be accounting for potential floats in villains range in position looking to steal on future streets? Does that dynamic support a case of calling a higher percentage of the time than folding. Villian is repping sets or ak. Sets are very unlikely to flop percentage wise, and Coleman blocks AA. Doesn't this lean more towards bluffs? I agree flatting preflop is better to prevent AA from being face up, but given the way played dont you think this should always be a face palm call or else you're exploitable. Even though we block the flush draws. Thoughts?

[@FAonYoutube]

Colman said on Joey's podcast that this was a "once in a lifetime spot" given the money at stake, that Seiver was winning a lot in the game and unquestionably deviated from an optimal strategy so that he would never bluff there. That's the fundamental difference of approach compared to Doug, who doesn't want to make assumptions about how his opponent plays.

[@michaeltrumph121]

Colman should have went all in pre flop.

[@facundocaccianini9536]

Michael Trumph no he shouldn’t because when you get AA in a cash game you want to exploit them, there’s no flush or straight on the board he only can have trips because he wouldn’t call like 20 grand pre-flop with K9, so he played really well, he just got bad luck

[@powerlifting1012]

Oh that makes sence he doesn't need to balance his range because the chance of this happening is so small

[@filmg33333k]

Gotta mention that 4bettings 9s works at a pro level, but surely not at microstakes online. People just ain't 3betting light enough at an amateur level.

[@24magiccarrot]

The main factor in this scenario isn't so much the stakes or playing ability of the people involved, it's how deep the stacks are, when you are only 100 BB deep 4-betting with 9's isn't really a great play as you are likely pot committing yourself on the flop, not a great spot to be in with just a pair of 9's. When you are this deep however you have more options. You can raise with the 9's and still be in a position where you can see a flop with the right implied odds to hit your set and giving yourself an easy fold if your opponent 5 bets, so the 4-bet is not a good play if your only 100BB deep but when your about 500BB deeps then it's a good move.

[@II-no5oi]

even if ess is about 100bb, it can be meaningful to sometimes 4bet bluff w/ 8's, 9's, etc.

[@24magiccarrot]

KK AA 4-betting as a bluff with 88, 99 is probably about the worse move you could make with 100bb. You shouldn't be bluffing with hands that have showdown value, 88 or 99 into a bluff and reopening up the betting gives your opponent the opportunity to jam on you. Now you've lost all showdown value and all draw potential. It would be okay to 4-bet jam if you were in a tournament with only 40-50 bb but doing it for 100 bb you are only ever getting action from premium hands or rebluffed by hands that you are beating.

If he doesn’t get stacks when he flops a set then he has to fold to the 5 bet pre or else it’s -ev. Well played postflop although I agree with your logic about pre. Never played this deep so never thought about it.

[@firefight33]

I think AK is a better call on the river than AA, and that was why Coleman folded. Though I think suit blockers are relevant here as well. FWIW, I think Scott plays AA this way preflop nearly every time, and that Coleman plays KK, and AK as a mixed freq preflop.

[@edide1627]

You are right of course on the river AK would be a better call ( but I probably would call in that kind of spot more than enough to loose a lot of money , guess that is why I"m broke ) It is just hard to fold AA no matter how good you get -specially in the river ( where you have already bet a lot of money)

[@stlbigbad23]

No, he said you don't have to stack off 100% of the time when you're playing that deep. He never said to fold it.

[@cezarvancea]

I would highly reccommend 5 betting small like Coleman did in this hand. How would Calling aces preflop improve postflop play? If you ask me, in this particular situation, Coleman would have more incentive to call the river as he underrepped his hand pre. So 5-betting pre allowed him here to get away. I would assume that in this spot, having all these bigs in play, there's less incentive to bluff in Scott's shoes if he doesn't have it. So yea. Mainly five bet aces pre, bet the flop, call the turn then fold to the ocasional river shove. Seems perfectly fine to me.

[@joshuahoggard6257]

True but the shortest stack in this hand is the equivalent of buying in for 1.5K in the 1-2 game. Ranges should become just as polarized if not more polarized assuming 3 bet ranges are tighter. Poker is always relevant to blinds not X money.

[@trollemall7016]

I actually was in a somewhat similar spot a couple of weeks ago in a 1/3 game. I was in EP with KK in a multiway pot against a massive 5-bet All in from UTG. I nearly foldet KK the first time ever pre. But because UTG was carzy and did some stupid plays before I called and won a massive pot :D

Troll Em' All What did the maniac show?

[@trollemall7016]

CheapSofa he didn't show. After I called I asked him if he had Aces. He said no. I showed my Kings. There was a Queen on the flop which I obviously hated after a guy shoved about 250 BB multiway UTG vs a UTG+2 3-bet and a cold call of the 3-bet by a tight player with a big stack but after the river he just mucked and I didn't wannt to ask after winning the second large pot from him that night. The BB who 4-bet shoved about 100$ also mucked.

This video is an example of why Doug Polk is one of the best poker players in the world.

[@Adam-fb5nt]

TBH, when I watch this kind of deep poker analysis, I always wonder the same thing: How can finely tuning your ranges, and the lines you take with said ranges, really matter all that much unless you are playing the same opponents for hundreds of hours? When I play at a table for 2-3 hours, I might get a very general idea of who's loose and who's tight, but I have no idea their precise ranges and strategies, and feel safe to assume they have no idea about mine. Obviously, players are rarely showing what they have or making it to showdown, so I would have to be at a table with the same players for several days before I would have any real idea about their precise style, or get any real benefit from cleverly disguising my own. Is this poker theory mainly relevant to pros, because they play the same players all the time?

[@featherduster8719]

Ranges mainly apply to value hands, not bluffs. Just thinking about it that way Doug has a good point about not betting continually with AA preflop because it begins to seem obvious what you have. That player prior knowledge stuff is delusional crap.

[@59dberinger]

Dan having AA and blocking the nut fd on the turn is pretty significant and should lead him to an easy fold otr. You can even argue that removing half the Ax combos should probably lead Dan to fold ott

[@WISSPORTS16]

If you say there is no solution to having to choose between folding and calling with AA in this spot then what's the point of mixing in A5, KQ etc? I know our opponents will have slightly more difficulty pinning our range, but if you admit it's only about calling vs folding in this spot then I don't see the point of mixing in other hands to our 5-betting range.

[@justinhopgood346]

Great video! I’m so torn on whether or not I like Colman’s 5bet Pre flop now. I think I still lean a bit toward the 5bet tho. I get what you’re saying about how it makes his hand transparent, but id also say the transparency of his hand saved him quite a bit of money in this spot. He knows that seiver knows he has aces, and I doubt seiver thinks he’s getting Colman to fold aces very often on such a dry board. I think seiver almost always has value in this spot given how it was played up until the river, and it’s clear Colman knows this when he puts him on kings. Plus, you’re always going to have the best hand Pre flop, so getting more money in while you’re ahead isn’t bad, and although folding out seiver’s weaker hands Pre flop might lose a bit of value on later streets, it also prevents them from getting there a lot of the time (except this time I guess). Sure, Colman is going to be fairly unbalanced, but I’m not entirely convinced that makes this exact spot less profitable. I’d love your input on this! Great videos man, keep em coming!

[@lineageraw7973]

either flat pot control or all in preflop. that's how u avoid cracking AA

[@sitbackandrelax1961]

i know this is probably going to get a lot of hate but Coleman should just fold the turn as played from exploitative standpoint. Since Seiver puts him on AA a very high freq, he is never betting 1/2 pot on the turn to give up river. additionally, this sizing from Seizer should never be AK. Maybe it could be the other two aces, but thats about it, and even that is a stretch.

[@edide1627]

He thought he was good , didn''t want to lose a costumer/ Wanted to keep him in that pot (but with more information from Seiver (his bets and sizes maybe some tell he got from him ) made him convinced that his AA are no good and folded (a nice fold may I add , one I would have trouble laying down) .

[@zhanchenguo3386]

I think Seiver 4-bet is because there are still many people behind him, especially the open-raiser Robl there. If Seiver call, someone behind 4-bet, he could be in a difficult decision. Now when he 4-bet, he can get fold equity or at least isolate Colman.

[@johnbarry5036]

I know this is not correct play, but if he just went all in instead of the 3xpot re raise, pre-flop he would have won a decent pot instead of losing a massive one. The more cards come past your initial 2, the worse AA gets.

A lot of Doug's strategy assumes that your opponents pays attention to what you are doing ,I wish my opponents were that good in most of my games ,theyre usually at least half drunk for starters lol

[@thatazn15]

I disagree with Dougs analysis of Colmans decision to 5-bet. I definitely think he can 5-bet KK and AKs so its not like he only has AA.

Seiver goes into super heavy breathing mode after he hit his set

[@readyyfireaim3310]

What does Doug mean when he says "when you're playing this many blinds deep, you don't have to go with hands like Kings or Aces"? I'm not sure I understand what the logic is there, why does the amount of blinds devalue a hand like KK?

[@joemiller9522]

He means that the deeper the stacks go, the more action that occurs preflop is going to be heavily weighted towards monster pairs, specifically if you are 4 or 5 betting pf you must include aces and kings in that range.

[@doug2279]

so seiver won an extra 200k from coleman after hitting on the flop and called like 70k preflop. seems like the odds of hitting on flop at like 11% or maybe since we assume colemans and other dudes hand had no 9 a bit higher but odds for call did not make sense based on what he made. The odds were off for what he bet vs what he made if he could be fairly sure at that point that other dude had bigger pocket pair. He made the wrong move from maths when you see how little he made vs the amount he called preflop especially as he would have folded to most bets had the 9 not hit the flop and the guy always bets the flop in that position.

He should do audio books he has such a soothing voice

[@shivasirons6159]

Yeah but what's wrong with coleman just declaring " i got AA bitch , crack em , all in"!

[@shivasirons6159]

Pre i mean.

I breath like that when running a bluff at 6 card Omaha at the casino

Link to Doug's analysis of the Dwan v Greenstein hand mentioned at the end of the vid?

That sign in the background is spelled wrong. Thought you would know how to spell your name? Oh well.

Hey Doug what video games if any do you play? Like PS4 or what?

[@blahblah643]

I thought Seiver was fake hyperventilating ott but then he calmed down on the river when Colman didn’t snap. Huge tell. Or was it just a complicated multi street fake tell and he’s trying to rep AK...

[@az015]

Why do u wear a workout vest when u don't workout?

[@robinhoodOO7]

If you're basically face-up here 99% of the time with that 5-bet, don't you have to call against a strong player almost 100% of the time? Since, presumably, their bluff % is going to increase quite a bit on most boards with a Queen or King.

[@thedude5599]

I think when I get reraised im just going to go all in. 25 000 grand is a nice win with no thinking. Siever absolutely can not call with 99 to an all in. Take the 25 000 and crack Sievers aces with 67 clubs next time he has them. I get a lot of flops for 25 000 easy money.
