Dan Cates' pro poker instincts were put to the test in this high stakes No Limit Hold ‘em hand; ‘standard’ or ‘optimal’ high stakes poker strategy says one thing and the Jungleman yells another while raking in a huge poker pot!
How often do you see poker players making nearly pot-sized 300 big blind bets on the river with 90 big blinds behind?
How often do you see 300 big blind bets into 400 big blind pots while playing $200/$400 NL Hold ‘em?
This feels like a slightly rare poker moment…
Thankfully we have Phil Galfond to break down what each high stakes poker player might have been thinking in this ultra deep stack poker hand.
Said another way, we have a high stakes poker legend breaking down high stakes poker strategy at a high level, and for FREE!
For those curious, the original high stakes poker live stream this footage came from featured a high level poker line-up of Dan Cates, Bobo, Phil Hellmuth, Stanley Choi, Nik Airball, Handz, Israeli Ron, and Andy Stacks.
Thank you to all of these high stakes poker regulars for allowing Hustler Casino Live to broadcast their high stakes poker hands for us to enjoy and Phil to analyze.

Hey! Here's my free 44-page Mindset Strategy Playbook -> philgalfond.com/mindset
By far the best poker communicator in the business and I have watched a lot. So concise, so succinct, great stuff.
Yep. Not an 'um' or 'er' nor wasted gesture or tic. Direct into camera throughout.
He has a future outside of poker if he fancys it!
Mr.Galfond. With Gabe announcing his retirement, assuming that he was serious and taking his reason(s) for doing so, I believe that the stage is rightfully set for you to make a return to HSP.
You’ve got the substance, a broad enough audience on TH-cam that respects you based on that substance AND for the entertainment value that your takes bring.
Your older and wiser self would simply be a bit more animated with one a many of “one liners” with your in debt analysis that you’d adjust, overtime, tailoring to a TV or HSP audience.
An opportunity in disguise for you that takes into account your mistakes of your youth and tje wisdom gained from them by your current self.
People can relate to that and I believe that they would support it and you specifically as a host because of that and your knowledge.
Also your known for helping people improve their games in POKER. Good luck. Just add some
Comedy and work on being comfortable doing it.
The story writes itself
Best hand reviews bar none imo, excited to see Phil break down more hands in the future!
These videos are simply top tier! But wishing to see more content of you in action 😄
I wish to see myself in action too! Need to find some games to play. Thank you!
@@PhilGalfond Is holdem just prohibitively boring? Would love to see you on some live streams!
Hey Galfond, I am happy that you decided to make videos. At this point any content is good. Keep up the good work!
Great breakdown! Thank you for starting to make videos and sharing your knowledge with us. I've always been curious what Pros think in a hand. I haven't played in year but finding your channel, brought back some good memories, watching high-stakes action with you, Tom, Patrik, Ivey and all the other guys, some 15 years ago. Keep up the great work.
These are my favorite videos you do. Not just telling, but explaining why. god bless you
Thank you so much! ♥️
@@PhilGalfondI heard London shall be very nice at this time of the year ;)
Phil’s analysis is top-tier. On a platform SATURATED with this type of content, Phil stands among the absolute best.!
@philhalfond has some of the best breakdowns! Explains everything so thorough and simplistic !
I never realized you were so good at doing this stuff.
Very easy to listen to and learn from. Thx PG
Great hand, great breakdown bro!!!
Phil. Thank you for breaking this hand down and explaining it as if you were speaking to your golden retriever! These breakdowns arnt like any other content out there. Thank you!!!!
why have i just found your channel lol, i had your videos on a stick back in the days . good to cu again, looking good as usual.
Hey Phil! An intelligent, articulate and well spoken gentleman. Which is very refreshing to come from the poker community by and large. Impressive. Good luck with all your endeavours and wish you all the best at the felt. Great content too! Thanks for the Mindset Strat book! God Speed sir, to you and your family.
Thanks for the content, Phil! Shbscribed to your newsletter. If I save enough money. Been a huge fan of your contents.
Phil I love when you break down hands like this please do more of it! Of all the people that break down hands like this your my favorite. Both you and Jungle are such great ambassadors for poker, the best.
Not a lot of other youtubers whose videos I always watch from start to end, great content as usual. Thank you a lot!
Another great video Phil! Shout out to the streams for creating these absurd live 600bb deep pots for smart folks like you to analyse. 100bb solver stuff is interesting, but the intangibles of live deep stack are on another level. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic video! Thank you Phil.
Sick play and read from jungle man and what a sick hand! Jungle went from value betting to bluffing and bono went from bluffing to value betting, awesome.
So much respect for this play from Jungle.
@PhilGalfond do you think Bobo should have checked the turn? You rationed he was protecting equity against 2 overs/flush draw.
More often than not Bobo is ahead of a player like Jungle,... sometimes you have to acknowledge the player next to you is better and more capable and check your equity.
Thanks for the great content!
Really good channel. Good demeanour and well paced.
Awesome video Phil! Loved the explanations, top tier.
Great play! Bet sizing on the turn is key!!
Watching your videos is as cathartic as watching the ASL. Feels like home
Great analysis, Phil. Both informative and entertaining
I do so enjoy your analysis of the hands being played. A++ sir!
Awesome video, please keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Absolutely love this analysis. Thank you Phil!
Such an awesome background you got now!! Looking really good
Love your concise breakdowns Phil. Thank you
Love it Phil! Would be great if you could do some analysis alongside Jungle at some point? I know you guys have a good vibe together
THAT was a sick hand. On every street, by both players, all the way until the river fold.
Nice! Top level play and analysis of what was going through their heads. Everything done actually made sense in the context of actually playing "tough" and not giving up too early on hand + maximizing your EV throughout.
As I start to understand this stuff better, my biggest problem is over thinking hands at my local casino cash and home games where the other players are largely donkeys not thinking about any of this ;o). Identifying the level of the other players at the table is key part of using this information effectively.
Phil your videos are great. I wish the audio was a pip better. Would make for a better experience overall.
Really love this these kinds of analysis. It's nice to know what the pros are thinking at this level.
❤️ this Phil!
More please! 🙏
Can do 🙂
You're the best Phil.
I appreciate you and everything that you do for the community.
I'm always wrong about one of those two assumptions, when I'm right about my opponent not having trips, he still calls with his bluff catcher, and when I Have an overpair he shows up with trips 😅
We all know how you feel 😃
great content. exemplary.
I suppose I would be interested to see some hands where nothing incredibly dramatic happens, eg where it's like bet turn take it down or something, or check fold, with a deeper explanation of the thought process, or for instance spots where pros are seemingly playing very tight; like maybe some really standard spots where players are making the very standard moves but it's perhaps interesting for some reason. Like eg players situationally raising early then folding to three bets with hands like 77 or AT maybe, like perhaps places where the pro is like fold here out of position almost automatic but to an observer might be like "why?"
Love the new set! Whatever happened to that subscriber weight-loss bet combo thing that was going on?
Thank you! I lost the bet on both counts :)
@@PhilGalfond well it seems to be still working out for you :) love the content.
Love the explanation. Rather than saying that betting, checking, or check-raising are all viable options 🤣
You know the content is good when you hit the like as soon as the video starts. you didnt disappoint.
Good video. I think 🤔 you're improving.
I enjoyed listening 🎧 to the break down.
Keep up the good work. Practice makes perfect. I subscribed.
Great analysis Phil, love your vids
I love the 126k river bet. It's got Bobo thinking "he didn't put me all in bc he's trying to get me to call" such a good bluff
biggest takeaway for me here is to not get too fancy with hands like Q9s preflop because it gets you in really difficult spots postflop which are tough to handle and as played I think Bobo has to call
As played, I think Bobo calling is NOT an EV+ move. As bet, far more often than not you will be be looking at an; OP, Trip 8s, and even the odd 9s over 8s boat + quad 8s in jungle's hand. Most ppl with the nut flush draw are calling at least 1 of the turn or river rather than check raising. You have to be REALLY confident Bobo only has a suited face card + 9 ( or suited 10-9 ) to play it as Jungle did ( e.g. a read has to be involved) . Otherwise its too much $ to spew on a bluff.
@@richardlefaive1944 agree. In a 4bet pot as 4 bettor you're just simply not scared of an 8 or AA-QQ. With bobo effectively capped thus, you can take this nutted line with TT-AA and crush. He should have folded flop but if you find yourself on the river with a 9 there you're beat so often.
Shows how powerful playing trips the same way on the turn would’ve been had he actually had it. I do that sometimes with my big hands and sometimes it works but sometimes it backfires. Depends on opponent obviously. Great video!
Yes, exactly! It takes a lot of quick thinking, but deception like that against great, high-intensity, opponents is so important.
I doubt you are playing someone good enough to have a bluff combo AND bluff with it there. If it was common Phil wouldn't be making a video About it so you should probably just go for thick value vs overpairs with your trips.. unless your name is Linus by chance?
@@FATCACAK Its not that complicated. Sometimes you slow play big hands and sometimes you don't. Of course, you need to read your opponent.
@@coldcuts3248 Exactly, go lighter with flopped trips against the nits, lead heavy against the stubborn calling stations, check them against the over aggressive and then probably call only to give them rope. Playing flopped trips like this would be an ADVANCED play used to balance your play, for use against top level, overly aggressive opponents.
Super interesting walk through
Great analysis, Phil! Thanks.
My pleasure!
I wish these videos existed when I was playing for a living this game. Though Run it Once helped me aaaaa lot.
Great video. Long time mid stakes player here. All of your points are 100 percent on point!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Phil, really appreciate this one
Very welcome!
great video, subbed
Your channel is fast becoming one of my favorites
Awesome, thank you!
Great show.
I agree that it's a tough call. However, I would have shoved all in on the river. The check-raise on the turn made no sense -- Jungle would have simply value bet his trips, because you wouldn't want to allow a check check on the turn. Thus, the check-raise was most likely either a bluff with a hand like AK or a semi-bluff with a flush draw (with maybe some AA or KK type hands mixed in there as well). Furthermore, the river bet was much too small for it to be a hand like a full house, which, again, would want to extract max value. If you're not up against trips or a house, the only non-bluff hands your opponent could plausibly have there would be over-pairs -- and ANY over-pair like AA or KK should fold to your shove most of the time. You could very easily be holding 88, 89 of hearts, 99, A8, or even 22 -- considering that, this deep, it's not TOO insane to occasionally call 10k preflop to go set mining (and especially considering that 20k raise after the flop). And if the check raised turn was suspicious enough to you to rule out trips, then even holding 33 isn't completely out of the question -- you could have gone set mining preflop, bluffed the missed flop with that 20k raise, continued bluffing, then floated the *suspicious* turn check-raise, reasoning that your opponent had a semi-bluff or over-pair (but with the intention of bombing the river to get over-pairs to fold)... and simply hit the 3 for the house.
Wow that is some real deep poker thinking, thanks Phil
Love your hand breakdowns Phil👍
Thank you 😊
what a pleasure to be able to dive into your mind, good work bro
You are by far the most talent poker and now content creator 🎉
Very insightful. It's always easy to explain the past, but nobody is representing the ongoing thought process like you, Phil.
Now, I am missing two points:
1. When Dan reraises to ten k imho he is trying to find out if there is high pair on the other side.
2. When Bono says "I like the ten" he is basically saying "I am not so convinced anymore if my raise was so good."
?
On point 2 ...
It certainly seems like Bobo is saying he doesn't have As, probably not Ks either. That comment sets up all Jungle's subsequent moves but ... "I like 10K" is ALSO something that someone with pocket 8s or 7-8s, 8-9s would say ...
Awesome thumbnail mate!
Do we think we should X the on turn with the 9?
Great analysis Mr. Galfond. My question is: Would things have turned out differently, if Bobo decided to check for pot control on the turn? Thanks :)
Imo, the read by jm would be the same as Bobo would not check trips for pot control very often and instead has the range Phil mentions in the video. Thus, jm would probably fire the river and leave Bobo with a tough decision (for less money I think)
Love the hand reviews and your insight on the game!
Thank you! 😊
More of these please
Excellent video.
Awesome stuff. Thank you
You’re very welcome!
Excellent videos these Phil.
What sort of value range is Jungle representing on the river ? What kinds of combos actually make sense for Jungle to have on river that are value given the pre-flop action ?
mostly big overpairs
World class analysis.
Great stuff Phil!
Thank you so much!
Good explanation
TY
Should Dan xr turn with a (much) bigger size?
Jungleman will be the 🐐before too long
Sick reads Junngleman & Patrick A. are the best.
Patrick is more hard-headed, whereas Jungle is more creative with how he applies moves to his "sick reads."
He’s literally been the goat he’s the best heads up player in the world
He's been the goat for forever. He's probably one of the best mix game and HU NLH and PLO players. And probably the best full ring NLH player in the world
Would he still destroy Durr heads up today? (Only as Dwan seems pretty strong in these games)
Hi Phil, I can't seem to find any way to dm you so I have to ask here. Do you have any advice on plo5 strategy? I've been trying to find a good training site
Galfond the GOAT! Great video as always
Thank you 😊
You are the only one to pick up on this hand. Great hand review.
I appreciate that! Thank you 🙏🏻
The jungle man 12 is a beast. Interesting hand break down.
Love these vids
Thanks Phil :)
The combo of Jungleman's unisex blouse, low-hanging undershirt, and centrally positioned mic is soiling my eyes.
“Mickey can’t bluff here” 😂🤣😂🤣
has durrrr and jungle settled the issue in the HU challenge? would love to see these guys play at hustler.
Last I heard. No
Was a great video!
Thank you! 😊
Great analysis
Thank you!!
Phil how can I learn plo? Imy buddy says most players play out of fear and complacency. I want to work
I'm pretty confused how as Bobo you can call the turn but then fold that river. What does the river change? Can you really expect a check on the river often enough given the action and stack sizes?
I'm not saying I think he should call the turn check raise, I just don't get what range he could have put Jungleman on that would make him call turn but fold a 3o river.
Jungleman must have the craziest looking closet ever.
Thanks Falcons
Random sprinklings was the best part of the video
Thanks phil ❤
Jungleman? Isn't that Mickey?
Thanks, Phil , go Jungleman, go!
When I saw this hand live I thought it was an absolutely bonkers play by Jungle. Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it was noteworthy.
BEST POKER CHANNEL!
jungleman wanted to show his hand so bad, quietly asking 'please someone ask me to show the bluff'
Is there anybody better at teaching poker theory then Mr Galfond? One question for Phil- Should I of substituted *than for *then is my question? I always get those two confused. Thanks -
Jungleman was repping an over pair preflop, and Bobo ended up believing him. I've watched a lot of Jungleman's plays with overpairs on similar streams in Austin, and he always plays overpairs strong on every street. There was no check raising the turn. Seemed really fishy based on how he's played those hands previously. Check out his hand when he had QQ against Nik Airball at The Lodge stream. Dude did everything he could on flop and turn to get Airball off his hand, but Airball had a flush draw, chased it, and hit it. I haven't seen it done, but it would be cool if you reached out to the players involved to see if they'd be willing to go over their thought process on these hands.
What's good, Phil. You're analysis is so insightful and presented well. You're demeanor is even more impressive. I don't know if I'll ever get to your level of understanding, but I want you to continue this forever so I can try my best to process these games in as similar a manner to you as possible! Keep up the great work!
I salute you for your humility as well. Easy to tell that your a fucking stand up guy, all the way.
One of the best videos of hand analysis I’ve seen in a very long time. Hard to see BoBo dump that hand. Why even call the turn ? Garbage came on river. You gotta commit on turn If I call here and garbage rivers. Call !!!!!!!
300-600/ 100 Ante
Jungle, Galfond, Airball, Andy Stacks, Garret, Dwan, Dnegs
This is the game I want.
Btw phil, my best friend used to be backed by Apestyles in the 2000s.
I remember the 1st time we watched your blue fire poker videos…..our minds were completely blown.
“Uh guys we have a lot of work to do. Come watch this.”
Watched your video sessions against “Lagasaurus” all the time.
At that time, access to your premium content felt like cheating.
Not surprised at all of your success. Good luck man
Check raise with 2 overs is standard no? I guess the paired board makes this a little less common but it's pretty clear that jungle's got a read on bobo that he's bluffing a little too much and wants to punish. Bobos sizing on the turn is a little unusual since ya betting small is not what you want to do on the turn with a made hand or a draw. So I guess the only options is that he's value betting something. But raising a nut draw and 2 overs is still ok
