[@JaxonBurn]

Man I love Daniel, his advice is great, but if he tells me not to be loosey goosey having a sandwich while I’m playing poker again I’m gonna lose it.

[@Silent_Control]

He didn't look at Luca and say 'you got K9'

You have to understand that everything you do at the poker table conveys information.

[@chrisrehm8735]

First, I can't thank you enough for putting out these videos. You are my favorite player to watch, and your breakdowns on these hands is involving, entertaining, and very instructive. What you are talking about in this one is exactly why I knew you'd be the best when I first saw you play (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth). You have the best skill at GETTING the kind of information you use in order to move from GTO to exploit on a player. While most everyone is worried about giving info, you get it. Hearing you talk through this hand is like having magic explained. You have always done this, and I cannot but admire your skill and talent. I'm effusive here because this hand in particular is prime dnegs magic. Great hand choice.

[@darksidegaming9809]

Hey Daniel! Thank you for all the free poker education. You were a legend before but now that you show humility and give so much to us fish you have become an idol. I love watching the wsop vlogs and hoping of one day getting out to Vegas to play. I was supposed to attend UNLV in 2005 for my junior year and was going to pursue poker part time. Illness struck 1 month before me driving out and the plans got squashed. 13 years later poker is still my dream and I try to play whenever I can with strong results. Big thanks to you and the rest of pokers original poker boom legends for keeping my hopes alive all these years watching poker games on repeat. Cheers!!

[@louisgarretson5240]

My fav poker player!! 1st player I ever sat down and actually watched playing. Love these vid’s, they get me thinking differently about some of the things I do at the table and I’m getting better and better.

[@ScarHead777]

Your continuous growth and adaptation are why I think you are the best player in the past few generations!

[@CataVlad21]

Great play, great analysis, great video! Best of luck at the wsop this summer, Daniel!

[@taylorshannon7358]

So Daniel, I have a question that I've never really gotten a full answer to. When we raise the flop here, we do it as a combination of a value raise and a semi-bluff. When I play, I try to find spots where I know there's value (ie. not the point where the opponent never calls worse and only calls better). I feel like there's a big gap in my game because I have a hard time seeing these spots where raises have qualities both of value and of semi-bluff and it leaves me missing out on a ton of equity. Do you have any advice in terms of studying that can help me in these spots?

[@dnegspoker]

It's a combination of taking control of the hand and denying equity at the same time. In this spot, he can have almost NO 3-betting range. He can only really call. So this way, when he has QJ KQ or some garbage, we deny him the free card to hit, or a scare card on the turn that we get bluffed on, like the Ace. By raising, it also narrows down his INCREDIBLY wide range considerably.

Hey bro there's a lot of value in your vids. Your perspective on the game in the moment is golden, keep'm coming. TY

[@YolkyPalky]

Your summation at the end nicely dovetails with what the late great Chip Reese said years ago, which is (paraphrasing): "The only thing that matters is whether you're opponent has it or doesn't have it, right now, this particular hand". In other words, playing for the "percentages", "ranges", "GTO", etc. is secondary to the best poker players in the world being able to determine whether you actually have it or don't have it, right now, this hand!

[@WampaLord]

Wise words

[@lgscsc]

well said you are 100% right my friend

[@johns783]

The quality and style of play of the best players in the world right now in 2018 proves the exact opposite is true.

[@YolkyPalky]

You might want to revisit a dictionary for your use of the word "proves".

[@johns783]

nah, I'll just watch as all the Chip Reese's of the world are forced to adapt to the new school. GTO players have changed the game and even the great hand readers like Daniel have been forced into significant change as a result. That's because, for some reason, their reads and ability to 'just know who has it" isn't cutting it anymore. Not to mention the fact that computers have started beating the best players in the world now. You think that's because they know whether their opponents 'have it' in a given hand, or because the math is on their side?

[@tzovlask]

nice Daniel! I like how you assessed what he won't call by understanding what he would call. Improvisation is the key, but do not misread!

[@davidmcdermott7861]

But Daniel, *_**checking the turn signals weakness**_*

[@overlordghs1081]

I'm sure you're joking but for other people reading this, no checking back the turn can mean literally anything and hardly changes your range in this situation or similar situtations (as daniel explains). I think you'd convey more information by making a bet (strong bet = probably defending a weak/semi-strong hand?) than simply checking back. Either you're bluffing/semi-bluffing and want to make it seem like you could be slow playing, or your hand is strong and you are slow-playing. Hard for an opponent to make a read off of such a move.

[@johnwoodhouse4153]

Overlord Ghs very good tip! I usually feel a need to keep betting if I start.

[@bpkjizzle]

Interesting hand. I only saw up to the part where Bonomo has made the big raise. Nice check on the turn. That set up the river bluff. Would Justin have called if Daniel made an initial big bet out of position after the river card? I don't think he could have.

[@WashedUpHockey]

Daniel, since you have been studying GTO and taking your game to the next level over the last year as I stated on Twitter when I watch this hand live, you can just see how much you have changed your demeanor, posture and the whole approach to the game at adjusting to these new theoretical oriented younger players. and you really have been paid off dividends. Quick question no, what happened to MJ And Matt? I thought they were coaching you and all of a sudden they just fell off the map could you answer that to the community? Thanks Daniel

[@BMiBudz]

not sure if you will read this DN, but i noticed he raised 28,000 you did 95,000 i believe which is about 15,000 on top of 3x his bet... how do you define the raise number exactly, i always find it hard to know what exact size bet to do in all situations most time i get it right but i feel im not consistent i guess? also love your work DN my all time fav poker pro :)

[@QuickMathMan191]

Question, how tf is an underpair a part of ur value raise? Sure you have a gutshot and a pair, but given that it’s an underpair, shouldn’t it be under a semi bluff?

I am new to poker, saw you playing in a couple of tournaments i watched and im happy to see you creating content for others. Great information, You're the best cheers!!

[@iamamish]

When you see a competent opponent fold so quickly to a bluff, does that sound alarm bells for you? Maybe a warning that you aren't bluffing nearly enough in those situations? I'd be very curious to hear anyone's thoughts on the matter.

[@mauriceharmon]

My Q is what should Luca have done differently here and what would you have done if he took a different line? IMO he should bet the river an 8 looked strong for his hand and there are very few of your possible hand combos that you could call with including overpairs to his 9's. He can fold to a raise. This is what I dislike about most hand analysis situations only one side of the equation is considered.

[@TheNardDog1996]

Hey there, beginning poker player here, don't you think that by checking the turn you remove tens, jacks and (not sure about this one) maybe queens from your range? Can someone explain to me why I am wrong here :P

[@dnegspoker]

Oh not at all. If I raise flop, and he calls, I would be concerned that TT-QQ may not be the best hand. Also, with those hands, if I bet and he check raises the turn, that puts me in a really tough spot. Since his range is much wider than mine, he can more easily represent a strong hand on that board with a check raise.

[@iro9486]

Nice to see you back Daniel missed your vids man ✌

[@srki22]

If you think that opponent had a medium-strength hand on the river, then the right GTO play is to overbet. The math for calculating EV depending on the size is not complicated and this was the right play.

[@jared07x]

Not sure if my speaker is just shit, or if your mic is always way too close to you.

[@eerikkorhonen9272]

You played the hand fine, I think the turning point of this hand was when DN made the move to take the hand because of passive play and a possibility that he will fold on the river

Hey Daniel. Huge fan. Can you make a series on poker fundamentals?

[@hawkmoon4888]

[@karthikshiva7620]

[@BAlvn-yr6ej]

i guess you aren't a student in America..engineering students are usually party animals in the US! if you want some title suggestions, let me know. reading books is crucial to learning about poker, especially no-limit hold'em, which is vastly more complex than what many people have played in the past.

[@jennky8447]

Were you solely betting against his range or did you have some sort of live read or tell on him too? Excellent thinking points and explanation. Time for a new book?

[@dnegspoker]

There was a small live read. Key focus was, "Is he trapping me on the river?" Based on a live read I had him on a marginally strong hand, not good enough of a hand to call a massive bet.

[@robert2375]

What would u say your calling % is pre in that situation?

[@swytgy]

At 5:31 when Daniel is talking about his value range after the raise on the flop, why is he not taking into account 63 or 53, aren't those hole cards even better than 76s?

[@tijmendebruine5031]

Those were taken out of the equation before the flop even came because he would have folded them.

[@karolmichura1400]

Wow, actually this is great, best knowlage and way to present by far on youtube. I dont agree with one think you said you can raise yours overpair 77 88 jj and more and you can raise hands like 44, a4s. I think its way better raise semibluffs like a4s than pairs for obv reasons, dont you think? sorry 4 my english it might be some mistakes ;)

[@dnegspoker]

Theoretically against a guy opening this wide a range we can raise ANY hand on the flop.

[@karolmichura1400]

Yea i know that, but i think its way better to raise semibluffs when you have good equity vs some made hand, and can improve to str8. In other hand you said he open like 60-65% so he can have 2p,sets,str8 allready so when you raise hand like 1010 here and he call or ever 3bet flop you are in worst spot than like having hand like a4,44,78 so i prefer most often calling with pair in similar situation( not egzacly this) I might write it in bad words, or cant write 100% what i mean and im only play 100-200$ cash mostly online and you win millions so im interested so i get it wrong or maybe i do have some point. Its also very nice of you to find time and effort and respond to your fans.

[@FromTheMosh]

Your hair is looking amazing Dan!

[@connman8d617]

I don't understand the fold though. While Luca loses to 88 on the river, the turn card counterfeited 65. So he loses to basically the same number of combos now that he lost to on the flop when he called a raise. The 8 doesn't change much else aside from eliminating 87 from Daniel's range as Daniel is probably not going to bluff with top pair. I feel Daniel is certainly going to have bluffs here such as 65/54/44. 99 is even the ideal overpair to call down with as it blocks 97 which does eliminate some value from Daniel's range. I didn't catch exactly how big the bet was but I don't know how you fold 99 here. I would much rather fold TT or JJ.
