You Won't BELIEVE What He Does After I shove The River!! INSANE Poker Hand!!!

[@TheCod3r]

Awesome session, Gaz. I was at coventry last week. The cash games are nuts! I'm gutted that you didn't get any of our crazy pot folds on camera though (unless they wasn't doing them). For those wondering, it's like a PLO bomb pot. Everyone puts in £5, the dealer deals the flop first then deals 5 cards to each player. You either have to call the pot or fold. Then the turn and river are dealt and the best 2 cards out of your 5 with 3 from the community cards wins. In a 1/2 game the pots are usually around £200 - £250. Really really fun!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I have played one hand of pot/fold in my life. Was great fun! Hopefully get some pot/fold in Coventry during the UKPL next month ❤

[@TheCod3r]

@garyblackwoodpoker you have to ask when they're doing a dealer change. Hopefully I'll qualify for the UKPL so may see you there but if not I'll probably come fpr the cash and side events anyway 😉

Playing against people post tournaments is the best. They just sit down steamed. In the AA v 99 hand, he probably went 0 for 5 and couldn’t take it anymore

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Lol!! I have definitely done the same in the midst of a tournament series. I can relate!!

[@MissDeal55]

@ me too. I have a rule no of no cash after tournament. I always blast off

[@WTT444]

What a perfect timing for that guy to get away when your opponent heard you are about to do a flip for the call or fold and they pulling out another phone to record just to make sure they don’t miss it

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

You think that's a tell? Surely if I'm bluffing then I still want to record it because it's great content for my VLOG? I don't think it gives anything away.

[@TommyLooseChips]

It just screamed strength. He doesn't know you don't mind losing your whole stack. You sounded so happy.

[@WTT444]

@@garyblackwoodpoker Just my opinion I think if you were bluffing in that spot it’s naturally hard for you to be comfortable enough that asking to switch recording devices when the first one is dying,also more likely to me that when you know you have the winning hand there you want get more contents for the vlog. If you were bluffing maybe less interested of doing so

[@danielgarland9838]

What a fun table that was a profitable one which a lot of times will be the case when people are enjoying themselves vs the sunglass hoodie over the face crowd! As always Gary you do a fantastic job of breaking everything down and I greatly appreciate it! Looking forward more of your future vlogs and of course your upcoming trip to Vegas!! #letsgoooo!!!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thanks buddy, looking forward to sharing the felt with you in Feb! Let's goooooooooo!!

Awesome vlog Gazzy B.Would you ever consider playing Grosvenor in Portsmouth? On February 16th they are hosting the regional finals for Redtooth poker and are also hosting their cash game on that day which considering the type of players heightens the drama at the cash table and brings big pots.

Unfortunately I’ll be in Vegas at that time! The Portsmouth of America… 😂

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

@@Stephen_Becker yeah plenty of times, there’s lots of scenarios where you should bet bigger!

[@raylewis6117]

I think sometimes there's good reason to show the hole cards. Player dependant.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Absolutely right there is! But I need to tone it down, I do it way too much.

[@jolaz69]

@@garyblackwoodpokerI believe the best policy is to NEVER show your cards. You can win pot after pot without ever going to showdown and your opponents have no idea what you’re doing.

[@oltoinou]

Hey mate. I'll be in Vegas from Feb the 16th to the 26th. Any chance to see you in action there ?

[@oltoinou]

By the way. You should never let another player sweat your cards (unless you trust him 100%) because he could very easily discreetly reveal the strength of your hand at any point tu your opponent.

[@Awre18]

On the set of 66 why bet big on the river? Wouldn’t it make more sense to xr? Of he has a K or 2 pair he’s probably betting himself. And anything else (other than AQ)is folding to a big bet anyway right?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

If he checks back AQ or AK it's a complete disaster. Also if he has AJ we lose less by bet/folding than check/shoving. I prefer betting ourselves.

[@Awre18]

@@garyblackwoodpoker dont you think the big bet on turn kinda restricts the amount of AJ he will have? also AQ might fold anyway to a larger size, lets say it calls like 60-70% of the time which i believe is the case with most live players, in that scenario I just feel like you gain more from targeting top part of range his KJ, KQ,KT, AKh by either going for a massive overbet, or X Jamming. Idk interseting hand, I really enjoy the content thank you for sharing your experience.

[@yoniker83]

8:00 "I don't want anyone to draw to the nuts very cheaply" - really concentrating at one specific villain's holding (Axo with Ac) and no other possible holding. Also playing face up as fk, limiting your range,as no overpair or probably even sets will raise flop. Is this really how good poker looks like?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Good poker involves disregarding how your range is perceived vs recreationals because they don't think about that. Bad poker involves worrying about playing "face up as fuck" vs them. My advice to you is to broaden your mind :)

[@anthonyf596]

@@garyblackwoodpoker i agree with you Gary. I would have personally flatted the flop, and see if someone behind has an overpair or even a straight draw that might come along for a cheap price. You can bet/raise all turns that arent a club or pair the board, and flat anything percieved as scary. That being said, there are always table dynamics and player archetypes that come into play, and you were at that table, and i was not, so i can never say that your line was incorrect.

[@yoniker83]

@ he didn't mention a deviation from baseline based on player type

[@anthonyf596]

@@yoniker83 he didn't, but we can't assume either. If he has balance in his raises here that include some semi bluffs, then it isn't face up at all
