Phil steals the pot with the worst hand and then wins another $1000 off the mouth because he didn't have a pocket pair, GOAT.

​@@calijs9420lmaoo

[@KingGogh]

​@@MelFinehoutmost certainly he would. He's the greatest poker player to play the game. Home game, 1/2 game or any other game, he's bluffing people off. It's not hard to bluff someone, especially amateurs. Now...lol 3/6 POT LIMIT? Completely different story 😂

[@HibiscusFlowerFC]

He did solver plays before any solvers existed. An absolute genius during this time.

[@TheFlopFactor]

🔥🔥🔥 Ivey IS the solver 😂

I don’t think a 5 bet on the flop is a solver play

[@michaelblankenau6598]

You have to be kidding… people have been able to make plays like that since the beginning of poker. Not like bluffing is something new .

[@ewallt]

Gelfond tells a story where he noticed a leak in a certain game (some specific poker variation) in Ivey’s game, and challenged him to a match, which Ivey accepted, and was able to exploit the leak for a little bit, but remarked he was amazed at how quickly Ivey was able to adjust and, on the fly, plug the leak.

[@labrinth999]

I'm fairly new to poker, what do you mean when you talk about a 'leak'?

[@TheFlopFactor]

@labrinth999 leak means weakness or repetitive mistakes being made in someone’s poker gameplay

[@wesleykim1758]

​@@labrinth999To add on to the previous explanation, a leak may mean you are only losing 1% to 2% of value, but with winning edges in the game being so small, especially at higher stakes, losing that much value could be the difference between being a winning player or a losing player. To give you an idea, someone considered really good at poker can make around 10 Big Blinds per hour whereas an average winning player may only make 2 to 5 Big Blinds per hour. Meaning if you aren't amazing at the game and you are bleeding 1 to 3 Big Blinds per hour because your play has leaks, you are losing a lot of profit and could actually be a losing player

[@WhatAreYouNew]

​@@wesleykim17585 bb per 100 hands is good, 10 bb per 100 is crusher status. You get approximately 30-35 hands per hour in live play.

[@saintjimmy456]

1:39 Mike saying "I forgot what I have" means he can't remember if he has a club or not surely. So Phil knows Mike doesn't have a full house, because a club would be irrelevant. Phil knows nobody is going to forget a pocket pair, so decides to rep the full house himself... my take on Phil's read.

[@TheFlopFactor]

💯💯💯💯💯

[@ambrose7196]

BRO THAT MAKES SENSE

[@ninjaninja9954]

Yeah if you look at your hand again that means you have something. And yes you are right Mike gave out more info saying he forgot what he has, usually people forget the suit and not the value of their cards

[@heath1404]

He had a pocket pair what are you talking about

[@zTeaTheCoffee]

@@heath1404 You're misunderstanding. If he had a pocket pair that connected with the board, 7-7, 6-6-, or 4-4, he would remember. Phil knew he had some kind of hand, which on that board essentially meant a full house or a flush. Obviously he'd remember if he had sevens, so the fact that he looked combined with the raise basically confirmed he had a pair with a club. Ivey's ace blocks a few of the possible combos of aces, so it's much more likely he has queens or kings.

[@YaNeverLearn]

“I had the ace” 😂😂

[@TheFlopFactor]

Ivey a class act🤣

[@Young-ep8ik]

Jackson would be on the list of best bluffs ever if Ivey folded instead of shoved, but Ivey is like MJ in the finals, amazing!

[@tonykanaan4106]

Credit to Jackson in that final hand as well he re-raised Ivey twice

[@TheFlopFactor]

They both played extremely well

[@jeanfourcade]

at 10:53: Priceless depiction: this last hand is like "...witnessing great art. It's absurd, and wonderful at the same time".

[@rdmcabee]

In both instances Ivey probably knows matusow is broke and playing with someone else's money so he know he can scare him off of hands.

[@TheFlopFactor]

Really interesting point of view! Never thought of this💯

[@derekdeese6130]

Yeah 100% scared money there. The last hand was absolutely absurd though

[@lewiscowell8637]

[@Food-Journeys]

Very well done man, this video deserves all the views.

[@TheFlopFactor]

I appreciate this more than you know!! Thanks for being here and watching🙌🏻

[@bakudandan9924]

What happened in the last hand was that Ivey asked the guy "how much do you have left?" and the guys reaction to that question gave Ivey the info he needed to go over the top.

[@TheFlopFactor]

100% agree. He did that a lot way back to gain info especially on High Stakes Poker. Same thing happened in the first bluff against Matusow

[@joshuaburris5720]

“I had the Ace” was evil😈

[@adammwakikoti2759]

2nd hand: This pot was won when D.Benny said something about Ivey hitting the 5d. At that point if you're Ivey you have to seem disappointed that you're not going to get paid when he says that. If you watch closely, Ivey does it well enough to force the laydown. Negranu is right, his awareness is uncanny.

[@bunkjer]

These videos are awesome very nice editing and pacing

[@gianniferrari1122]

The Monte Carlo Millions scene is the best Ivey play ever. Its so legendary

[@jenniturtleburger3708]

That hand against Benyamine with the trips vs flush was kinda of crazy. The only thing that Ivey could have based on the way it played out that could beat Benyamine was AK with ace of diamonds or pockets 2’s. I mean it’s possible but very rare it could have been pocket 4’s, but I doubt Ivey would have bet out on the flop with 4’s with that many players in the hand. So it was AK or 22. So I’m very surprised Benyamine folded.

[@ten4267]

Was a limped pot, Ivey could also have K2s, K4s, K5o in his hand as well?

[@epid3mic_3p58]

This is why he's the GOAT among alot of the poker community. His reads are supernatural to say the least.

[@Hoevdingendk145]

What you're missing in this video is to explain your thoughts. It would be a great video if you added this. Not really any analysis just observations. Phil Ivey against Matusow: He checks his hand for a club, meaning that he doesn't have a superior hand but a medium high flushdraw. Shows weakness and PI knows he can scare him out of the hand. Just an example.

[@TheFlopFactor]

Thanks for the feedback Adam!

[@mellowords]

In the last hand, now I'm no poker pro, but, didnt it seem weird that Jackson's final reraise was so much less Ivey's reraise before him? That alone looks transparently weak to me. Like, just go all in. Almost suspicious, but i guess not.

[@PtylerBeats]

I cannot believe Matusow folded King high flush. With one card that beats you, you gotta just shoot. I mean, did Ivey even play as if he had an Ace? Maybe I just suck at poker, but I would have never folded that

[@evanward4303]

Me neither. Against a wild bluff machine like Ivey, I think the odds tip back to you. Not that I've ever played high or even medium stakes though...

[@PtylerBeats]

@@evanward4303 I wouldn’t even say that I’ve played low stakes lol I just play with virtually no stakes, so what do I know?

[@nunyo7259]

What do you mean 1 card that beats you. Any set beats him as well.

[@RobsWorld]

If he was worried about Ivey having an ace, he should have checked the river and then just called Ivey’s bet. But that’s the thing about Ivey. He can get a read on you and probably put Mike exactly on either QQ with Q clubs or possibly his exact hand (remember preflop action). That kind of opponent is dangerous because they can sometimes have the goods but sometimes not and it makes players hesitant to call.

[@PtylerBeats]

@@nunyo7259 a set beats a flush?

These bluffs won’t work at low stake poker games, you’d be called every time. Not getting called with bluffs in low stake shows real poker dominance.

[@Notimp0rtant523]

I remember watching that Matuszow play as a kid. Jesus that was brutal.

[@PrinceGebauer]

And Ivey said he had ace with a sad face so he could bluff again hahahaha

[@TheLemmonade]

I think the logic on that last hand is "after he 4bets me on this flop without going all in, he's just trying to buy the pot. A 4bet is extremely polarized and the fact that he 4 bet but didn't shove is rather weak. " All that said I'm definitely folding before we even get here, which is why they are there and I'm here...

[@TheBbarr]

I disagree with the commentator. Ivey was feigning frustration, a reverse tell, planning to steal it. He knew his trips were no good on the turn.

[@joeydrummer7929]

Ivey is the GOAT I think. Don’t even think it’s particularly close

[@TheFlopFactor]

💯

[@PhoenixTTD]

That last one, the other guy had a mission to not give up, but Phil had a read. There was some tell.

[@tailorknine5046]

When Phil asks him how much he has, its specifically to get a physical tell based on how he answers, because in tourney they must tell you roughly. Every experienced player knows that is the only reason they are asked that question. Obviously Phil know roughly how much he has, so that's not the reason for asking. It's not hard to deduce how much the player has, its heads up, that easy to track for guys like Phil Ivey who is obviously a genious.

[@adammwakikoti2759]

First one: I guarantee Ivey didn't know what he had, but he DID know that Mikey didn't have a hand worth calling a monster bet.

[@TheFlopFactor]

I like the insight, definitely can agree👍🏻💯

[@adammwakikoti2759]

@@TheFlopFactor Thank you Sir.

[@HalfAsianDerp]

Another reason he knew to shove was because the other guy didn't. If he really did have the Jack, he would have all in rather than re raising, and Ivey read him like a book

[@GTOUranus]

that last one is sick

[@jjkdan12345]

At the 5 minute mark why does it still show a 14% chance of winning if the 4th king was in their hands? What could’ve been drawn for them to win? New to poker so I’m confused

[@AllenHanPR]

In my local games, every player would call the bluff. But if I had Phil's reputation I think, that would be the only exception even my local players would fold.

[@TheFlopFactor]

Can’t get any bluffs through in local games haha

[@danwilson5630]

What songs are in the background? Funky stuff

[@dlogic6781]

Ivey was playing Ben the whole time. Patrick's fold was predictable after Ivey and Ben called him after the turn (both knew he had a king) . Ivey has never been known to play chips methodically like Dwan or other pros. It's actually one of the mechanics that he's always been recognized for being hard to read on body language. Even Negreanu has stated this. What makes that hand legendary is how Ivey uses his position to represent different hands to both players.

[@francescoiadicicco1266]

Ivey bluffing underbluffed spots many many years ago, way before GTO and exploitative whas even a thing. He was ahead of his times by a lot.

[@TheFlopFactor]

Couldn’t agree more 👍🏻💯

[@xDrawingDead]

Benyamine didn’t make too many hero calls after that one lol

[@Slimeypattyburgur]

I think Queen high flush is a easy fold if someone bets that much there are just to many possibilities that someone will beat you with just king low In limp pots like this you gotta understand that flushes aint all that especially when there is 2 kings on the board and u dont have one to many full house oppurtunities Though if u can tell their bluffing call it if they raise to quickly or have visual cues

[@brian_vb]
