AK off I think rarely 6 bet jams in that spot but more often being out of position. KK and AA will find the 6 bet jam. QQ never needs to 6 bets jam. Essentially it’s AA / KK / AK suited and sometimes AK off and you block the two combos of AK suited. More than reasonable to think for 2 minutes.

[@GGsDLo]

Nik can SUCK IT. I was in a similar situation, at a way smaller stakes table (2/5) and got pocket Kings. I open-raised 3x. Everyone folded except one caller. Flop comes 10-3-2. Safe as you can get. I lead out for 50. Opponent IMMEDIATELY JAMS. I'm like wtf?? I didn't snap it off. I kept saying it's gotta be pocket Aces or pocket 10's. I went deep into the tank. NO one at table made a noise. I apologized twice, even after showing my Kings, no one said anything. After about 3-4 mins I folded. It was just TOO strong how fast and confidently he shoved, and how he had no look of fear when I showed the Kings while thinking. When I folded THEN everyone started talking - not mad - just saying he's got AQ, QQ, bluffing, etc. Guy was nice and he turned over Aces and everyone said "nice FOLD" to me. This had ballooned to a $500 pot, a lot for me, and so the point of this is, no one should have any right to rush anyone with their own money. Nik is a DIK, PERIOD

Did Nick get his racks to leave yet? Or is he still moaning at the table.

[@Motivation99875]

Nik has a point, you ain’t laying Kings down in that position.

[@w00t777]

Nik really needs a chill pill 😅

[@jerrycala8809]

“Get me a rack, i’m out” the legend says

[@ohTriickZter]

nik is being such a crybaby. a 6 bet preflop shove screams aces. especially against Mariano being a rather "newer" player on the stream, Folding Kings is something to think about and it wasn't for that long. Nik can have a valid argument sure, but just cries about it and is unprofessional. Content is content i guess though. Gonna have to side with Mariano hard on this one.

[@nickdaven3520]

The length of that tirade after making his point was the biggest tank of the night.

[@HabibVentures]

Nik Airball = 🤡 Marioni = Class

[@slick742]

Nik has a cheek calling Marianno out for tanking, esp after he tanked with the 2 all In hand

[@damienocallaghan7398]

Mariano is as class as it gets, handled it way better than I would have

[@jamesonkauch4677]

I feel like the people here clearly have a bias towards Airball. However, if you play with someone taking 20-30 seconds minimum on every decision, then when they nit roll with kings, you’re gonna get pretty annoyed too

[@FenrirFinance]

Not really… because it’s a large bet for all the chips. Why would I care? I guess people just love to not think when they play. That’s what I got from the comments here

[@jose_valladares.]

I’m completely on Airball side here lol at these stakes you can not fold kings there this isn’t even a debate. Galaxy brain Mariano ruining his rep for the future with this tight ass play lol

[@shawntheshow4]

yess KK pre flop and thinking so long to decide is just rediculous

[@JakeWest-1]

if someone wants to take a few minutes to think about it, let them and shut the hell up. Its his money, not yours, shut up and le the man think

[@jodakilla]

Absolute nit roll by Mariano. With a full 9 handed game, the odds of running KK into AA is 1 in 6000. Nik is right that you're never folding KK in a cash game preflop, you just snap it off and take the L if he has it.. There's only a few disgusting spots in big tournaments where you can even consider it.

[@teamblair466]

When a solid guy 6-bets all in for 400bb, the odds of aa are waaaaaay higher than that

[@Trentberkeley86]

@@teamblair466that’s such bs, Mariano is making that call even if he knows he’s going against aces. Nik was totally in the right here and I don’t usually agree with his antics. Mariano was just off his game a little but he’s absolutely never folding that.

[@tjsumigray22]

​@@Trentberkeley86it's not what Airball does, it is HOW he acts. Airball has needed to get punched in the mouth since 1999!

[@mrhumble2937]

​@@Trentberkeley86I've seen polk and guys on stream fold it and be right.

[@tr0wb3d3r5]

Damn, Mariano is such an example how to keep cool, calm and collected under pressure wow respect

[@ericmendoza8474]

How do these players not know yet as soon as Mariano asks “How much you starting with?” , or “How much you have behind?” he basically has a monster 😂

[@charliec775]

I use to like Nik but the fame went to his head & he's on 1 big power trip always threatening players to be kicked out of Hustler like hes running the Casino

[@TalkingEducation-gz6zw]

Nik has the biggest mouth.

[@MrCypresss]

And has the smallest dik at the table. 😁

[@aboveaverage3078]

I mean its a 600 bb jam. If there ever is a spot to think about folding kings its this one. And against a specific player type your fold also would be 99% correct. But against Henry it is a snap actually.

[@dennishughes8233]

Airball was completely out of line. He wasnt in the hand and should have kept his mouth shut. Someone needs to check his jaw

[@modponens]

Mariano is a class act! Airball possibly sick in the head for calling someone out of line for taking ~2 minutes in a 6bet spot with kings.

[@frankiecheech5262]

Nik airball is a hater on Mariano, he's not even in the hand😂😂😂

[@thevikingnomad88]

This was like a really long Snickers commercial.

[@woomstretcha370]

Ask Nik why he don't play in Portland anymore.

[@CheapSlots]

What are you talking about?

[@user-cp9id1mj8b]

Elaborate please

[@chonghungseng9245]

And Nik takes almost full 3 mins to think on a 2way all in (7:50 to 10:33) with $20,725 to call.. and he is unhappy saying Mariano playing it slow and asking him to calling faster with 50k+ all in against Henry when Mariano just takes less than 2 mins to think and call (13:45 to 15:06). Really shows your patience level and character as a person.

[@slowery43]

he didn't do it holding KK preflop

[@willwatkins9693]

Who cares what Airball thinks? I know that he thinks that he makes the stream. He is just hot air.

[@jacksnides6135]

Can someone explain how K6d has any equity against quads off flop? What run out could possibly give it the winning hand. The graphics showed K6d with

[@Biostatic]

3,5 of Diamonds would give him a Straight Flush.

[@allenbythesea]

airball was out of line.

[@KerriBert]

Thanks Guys for uploading all the table talk, way more interesting then the hand itself, very interesting
