Patrik Antonius makes the GREATEST Hero Call in the HISTORY of High Stakes Poker

[@mgpvii]

even if Antonius had a strong feeling he was bluffing, it is so easy for his bluff to be better than a pair of deuces. that call was beyond sick.

[@Illog1c]

Yeah, I think that play was foolish tbh, yet he won the hand.

True, but the fact he had to call allin, might make it more likely to be a bluff. Dunno if that is true at the HS level tho. Good shove I guess, tho maybe he should have tanked a bit before doing it.

That was a stone cold play by Antonius.I've always liked his style of play and how consistent he is with his routine mannerisms at the table.He's one of the beasts from the old Full Tilt years that's managed to stick around at in high level.I used to watch him & Ivey play the nosebleeds,heads up against everyone while I'd be playing tournaments & cash games.

The online HU games were so fast paced for the amount of money exchanging hands and I watched so often while I played that honestly I can't remember any single hands that I watched but the experience of being on the rail to see that,was unbelievable.This was between 2004-05 until Black Friday in April of 2011 when Full Tilt was shutdown so it was awhile ago.It was the only way to see high stakes heads up play that I've ever found.

This is a classic old school live read that you still see from Patrik, Ivey and Dnegs where they intensely stare their opponents down to begin with and then they will only use their peripheral vision as their opponent let's down their guard ever so slightly and it's at this point he starts to blink uncomfortably and he starts to push his hand in to his chin even harder.

[@Rubaduck]

the thing is theres just way more bluffs than value bets, not saying I would have called or anything lol

I think that it gets rarely mentioned that Antonius alongside his analytical skills is very good at reading faces.

This seems like an amazing call and it’s a great call but the way his opponent played it they’re heavily weighted to drawing hands, abd while some of those hands will contain an A most won’t. They’ll be missed clubs and all the miss straights of which there are heaps. When all flop draws miss you just have to have the odds to call in a spot where the bluffing portion of the range outweighs the value portion and this is one of them.
