While I’ve never played w gal personally, I have seen him play many sessions on LATB. By math guessing opponents ranges it clearly is not profitable in the long run. Gal does call more frequently than others in tough spots but I wouldn’t consider him a station. He makes many tough lay downs and is a solid player. I’m sure he had a read and feel that art was bluffing, the problem is he even loses to much of arts bluff range.

[@checkthenutz]

I think, at least for me I've found myself in arts shoes many a time before. Completely flabbergasted, wondering how my opponent could have made a series of calls. Only to realize later that it was simply a case of the villain saying to themselves: "I don't believe you, and I have a pair". And that's all it takes. But the good news is that players who make those types of calls, tend to make them frequently. And you can punish them for it.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Yes and no. I've been sitting at a table with shit hands for like 40 minutes so I go fuck it, I'm playing this crap. Once you get your head around the fact he played 43o, then the rest was played ok. All low cards but the J, and he could be confident no one would be as reckless as him to play low cards so all he had to do was decide if his opponent had a J.... he bet correctly and one an $88K pot. You would have to look at his game for at least 30 min to an hour to see if he really knows how to play. Maybe that's how he won, that was the first bad/ low set of cards he played that evening and his opponent couldn't predict that he would play that hand.... anyway, just a thought. Cheers.

[@lukechandra6233]

I love Doug's shirt. Where can I get one?

[@senthilmonkey]

Doug is probably missing about how well Gal knows his opponent. They could be playing each other every day and Gal might exactly put his opponent on this kind of a hand as Art could be one of those players who always raise a flush draw the same way every other day. Polarizing the hand on the river ofcourse made the call a bit easier as it's then 50 -50. Busted draw or a monster hand like 77. The only issue is ofcourse investing $300 on this hand preflop. Once the raise came on that flop it's never a 2 pair hand on that board texture. It's either a set or draw or over pair. All over pairs are ruled out on the way the hand was polarized on the river. So it's 77 or 22 with Gal blocking 33. Well it boils down what normally Art will do with a set on the river. Will he bet 2/3 of the pot or full pot or will he polarize the hand like this for max value ? I would have made that call against certain players I'm playing with and folding against many.

[@belrogue7457]

I think this comment makes sense (I also make a similar comment above). Polarizing bet on the river was questionable. A smaller bet (say, half pot) helps also cover some some hands which were initially draws but got there (say J9cc or T9cc or 89cc or J8cc) or overcards like QJ or QT.

[@cloudcitydigital]

Once you invest $300, you're pot-committed for another $40k?

This is why you expand your linear value range and shove Jxcc and Txcc on the river as well.

[@mitcht1026]

@Stang5.0 killsya there are times I want to believe online has worse beats or a DOOM switch if you want.. but i've played years and years of live and online poker. and i've had such bad beats live that i run the hand in a holdem calculator only to find out that my opponent had less than 1 % chance to win. but they got there and went perfect / perfect on turn and river.. so it can happen.

[@ChannelJoeE]

​@Stang5.0 killsya I know we all feel a bit iffy when an unbelievable run out cracks our AAs yet again. Hence, a lot of people feeling online can't be trusted. But, I think it has more to do with anonymity than some sort of statistical anomaly. I preferred live over online even before they banned it in Australia, because people didn't do a total -EV weird shit in live setting. The embarrassment factor would simply be too great. And having to travel physically to a place, people don't want to risk their entire tournament or the daily bankroll on a 74o. But, people do online. If you entered the pot with three all-ins in front of you with K2o and won, in a live setting, people will continue to look at you like you're the biggest moron. And they'll eventually take advantage of that over the session. Online, people can just call with anything. If they suck out on someone big time, they can just pump fist in their room, feel good about cracking a set of AAs with 73o on A94 flop. With tournaments, no one wants to travel to wherever they need to go, buy-in to a tournament, go all-in pre-flop with J4o, bust and go back home. Online, you can do that and just move onto the next tournament. I didn't play much cash-games online. Played low to mid-stakes tournaments before it got banned. I had to adjust my game to narrowing my raising and calling range to top 5% in the earlier stages of the tournaments because of the above factors.

[@ntdscherer]

@Stang5.0 killsya I don't know if the random number generators are legit or not, but don't make a judgment based on your memory of hands. The extraordinary events will stand out while the expected ones will fade. With so many more hands played online, you'll have a larger number of unexpected events that stand out in your memory from playing online compared to live. Unless you've actually tracked every hand and run the numbers on each one, over the course of thousands of hands, you can't really draw a reliable conclusion.

[@ntdscherer]

Poker 2019: Player makes a sick call " mathematical poker player": what a bad call

[@joeriandries]

i've made quite similar calls... alot of players will not check a set in a 5 way pot where alot of draws are possible, you don't have position, and if you don't bet it's quite likely you're not gonna get any information out of your oponents on that flop, which makes those draws very dangerous. so assuming they've been playing against each other for a while now, i guess gal had already gotten some info on his oponent, whom might be one of the players who think so (i do to btw). so if no set, he's just going to have a draw alot of the time. turn and river each come higher than the board, not completing any draws, so when your oponent keeps betting, it's likely he didn't hit them. if you do hit one of those cards, you're gonne want to check because you now do have showdown value, and you'll rarely be called by a worse hand if you do bet. therefore, on the river, it is very reasonable to think art just 3 barrel bluffed a fushdraw.

[@mitcht1026]

Look at the river and Art's body language. Joe Navarro book would tell you this is a bluff. his hand being so perfectly still in what appears to be a very rigid weird position. He looks tense. Not comfortable .This is often a sign of weakness.

[@lucazapatero824]

What u r saying makes sense but, after reading ur comment i went back to check and the thing is that Art doesn't move at all between the turn and the river, he simply does not change his position throughout the hand so that wouldnt be a tell

[@mitcht1026]

@@lucazapatero824 you're half correct. Go back and watch the preflop action. his hand is relaxed. similar position but relaxed. Then watch after the flop. Relaxed still while he holds close to his cards. Once he check his hand stiffens up. He knows he's going to check/raise any bet here. His body is already getting tight because his heart rate is increasing. he's not comfortable because he knows he probably needs to catch a card in this hand. So his rigid hand pattern begins when he starts to semi-bluff / bluff.

[@mitcht1026]

@@lucazapatero824 found this hand from the same game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qZhXZ8nbdsfdU Just watch closely. its subtle. but its there. When Art has a good hand and isnt betting but calling. his hand position is similar but its relaxed. Its sitting flatter, thumb is in. when he was blufffing on the A8 hand. his hand was rigid.. thumb flexed out. difficult to hold this position for a very long time. his body is tense. These live at the bike games could tell some players a lot of info if they studied closely. lol

[@lardosian]

Yes I agree he looks tense.

[@elborix7]

This crap happens all the time at my house games. Letting people come over to play has honestly lowered my poker skills

[@THEC00LCEE]

His call is actually quite accurate. It is funny that no one realized why he called. I am so surprised.

[@veganbutcherhackepeter]

Agreed. Look at when Art started betting. When there was 7-2-3 on the board. Not likely that he's holding either of those cards. And also not likely that he's holding a random T or J. The betting pattern just didn't fit the board. And the All-in was totally polarized. Given the fact that Art's betting pattern didn't make any sense. A bluff was absolutely the most likely solution to this, making the call with a pair of 3s potentially profitable, because Art is bluffing more often than not here.

Lmao Adam22 wtf!!!!

[@AlexanderTheGreat1000]

zachary tuccillo I know right !!??? I was looking for this comment .😂😂

[@LKV089]

[@TalkingToFounders]

Adam clout chasing all over youtube

[@craig1131]

scott loong I know I’m (very) late, but I’m pretty sure Adam used to play poker as virtually his job when he was young so not clout chasing

[@bakermob29]

I give the guy props. The ultimate hero call.

[@baronvonhoughton]

Craziest call you've ever seen?? He made a great read on his opponent for a busted flush draw. Well played, Next.

[@NOyaPara]

I have a few friends with whom I play for a few bucks... And Im being ridiciouled by those idiots and called down with trash. But as soon you raise the blinds they immediately stop playing calling station... But this guy calls people down with 34 for a living 😂

[@lurgertor]

Doug with you teach me how to profitably call an early position raise with 43o on the bottom? I think I got what it takes to play like Gal does and call someone down when his draw bricked with 4th pair no kicker.

[@jadedx6399]

No homo but Gal is a good poker player

[@Moosh611pt2]

He had to wash some chips anyways
