I played and lost a $5k pot Monday night. 5-way all in preflop PLO. I had 25% equity preflop with my J high rundown but AAK6 made Aces full. it was only the second orbit which made the night play pretty deep as 4 of us were buying in again. I ended up $4k when all was said and done so it was just a flesh wound!
@@steveray00 plo can be rough , biggest game I ever played was 5 card 10-25 plo and was 3k min to sit down, sat down with about 5k and was allin first hand on the flip and done after waiting 3 hrs to play lol. Flopped mid set with nut flush draw and wrap straight draw hit on river against me
I won just over 16K in a 2/3 game. I raise JJ UTG and get called by 6 players. Flop JQK rainbow. Checks around. Turn J. I bet. Get raised, then reraised. All the money in 6 ways. I was short stack to start the hand with $2700. Was up against KK, AT, AT, 9T . River was a blank.
56 off suit? Ed Miller in his book titled: The Course said this about suitedness: “Suitedness is so important that for the most part, unsuited hands are unplayable at this game.”
Right? I’ve gotten upset (not at other people, just at myself) when I’ve punted off 1500 in a 2/5 game. Not cuz I couldn’t afford it, just because I felt like an idiot. I’ve watched Texas Mike punt over a million dollars now and his expression never changes. I genuinely would stop going on streams if I played like he did because I would be so embarrassed.
because theyve already made so much and invested and probably have massive passive income from real estate to stocks that it doesnt matter, its like a upper middle class person punting off $500 every weekend
Really starting to think these "high stakes" games are just people playing with play money to put on a show. The absolutely dumb stuff that goes on is hard to believe anymore.
I was always told that players at this level play about the same as 5/10 players do. Only difference is these folks can afford the losses. Of course I'm speaking of the bad players...not the pros.
Very helpful cheat sheet video. Thank you. Won just under $1500 playing 1-3 at Aria. Hit quad sixes with Ad-6d. If I lived in Vegas I’d be at Aria every day. (Although that was on a Saturday night so maybe just every weekend.)
The biggest pot I’ve ever won was $8k in a 2/5 game at Texas card house. I played a $10k pot at Wynn 5/10. 3 way all in and I had AA. One player was all in pre flop and me and the other player still had about $2k left going to the flop. Preflop was a 4bet pot. Flop came J43 and the other player ripped his $2k in. I called being a little worried about a set of Jacks. The 3 of us agreed to run it twice and the last river was a king, giving the short stack player a set of kings. The other player mucked so I won about $7k of the $10k pot.
In some way you could say it is the second nuts, because the two better hands overlap. If you have 53hh, you have the nuts, because you block the nuttier nuts
@@ouwesoksgaming Though there is still a difference from the AJhh perspective on whether it is 1 or 2 combos. I would say A high flushes are the 3rd nuts though 53hh and 85hh tie for the true nuts (since as mentioned if you have 53hh they can't have 85hh). Not nearly as important to think about as when you have a K high flush and they could have an A high flush (where AXs is probably about half the reasonable remaining flush combos) but you are still care 1 straight flush combo or 2 in really extreme cases.
The biggest pot of my life was a $5000 one at a 5-10 game vs a maniac. I had KK on a Q74 Board and Opponent hit the runner runner 6 and 2 for two pair, with his 62o.
I am a recreational player at the low stakes and I don't even play that often due to a lack of legal games in the area. I probably study the game more than I play it. I wonder if there are many players like me. Anyway, the biggest pot I have played in a cash game was 3 way all in for about $2400. I won that one with a flopped straight versus a set and an overpair.
i only play home games with friends; the biggest pot i've played with them so far was a three way all in for a ~$140 pot. top set vs low end straight vs high end straight on 678 rainbow. i had the low end :(
My biggest pot was $2000 or thereabouts. All in pre-flop with AK suited (me) vs AA. My biggest tournament pot was for like 200k+ chips in a three way all in with 50 players left (top 25 are in the cash): AK off suit (me) vs AJ (suited I think) vs QQ. With 37% equity, and that close to the bubble, with an above average stack, I wonder if it was the right call.
Biggest was a $7K+ pot in a $1/$2 PLO Bomb Pot. Everyone was really deep and there was a 5 way all in by the turn. I lost with my full house on top and 2nd nut flush on the bottom to quads on top and straight flush on bottom. The only good thing was I was only in for $400 so wasn't to big of a lost. But at the time I was up $1600 and was called me leaving after that hand lol
When you get to the river, you do need to ask yourself, why is your opponent here with you? Turn was a heart. Flop was 2 hearts. By golly, he could easily have a flush. Proceed with caution.
150 dollar pot holding AA flop AK2 rainbow turn 2s river K villain has KK it sucked I'm more careful now about shoving. learned lesson about being able to lay down hands.
85h is the nuts, 53h is the 2nd nut hand making AJ the 3rd nut hand...calling AJh the 3rd nut hand is correct and regardless of what cards the players are holding
my biggest pot was when i first started i ran up my bankroll to $100 and felt invincible so i played the whole thing heads up and lost it all KK vs AA on the first hand
Great analysis Jonathan but not sure why you’re making a video on players like texas mike who lost 2 million in a few hours without caring much. Dude was just ripping in everything lol
This whole pot doesn't make any sense. That fellow doesn't have the physiognamy of someone who has made the $25+ million via personal initiative in order to even HAVE $1m to throw around in this kind of poker game. So what is he doing there?
It is third nuts... But you know... If he is against 5h3h he cant be against 5h8h... Soooo... It is acctualy 2nd nuts. I KNOOOOOW ITS THIRD... BUT IM JUST SAYING.. ITS 2nd
What makes you say that? I haven't seen the big game, so I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly. I used to think Keating was just a fish, but I think he's an excellent hand reader, but probably plays too loose and might bluff too frequently. He doesn't seem like a remedial player though.
@@newstandardaccounthe’s a fine player. He just wants to play. He has the money to be loose and splashy, so he does. He plays like 90% of the rich guys at my local card house when they’re playing 1/2.
These guys are totally lost. Why betting 525K on a lucky str8 with 3 hearts on the board? As if flushes doesn't exist in his world. Why not a 100K and see what happens? I will never get it.
Its not poker, its made for TV. Who can play the worst hand and look good on TV, they have big egos for TV. Who can bluff the biggest pot and get paid off, or playing the worst cards. But its entertaining to watch, hahahaha
poker is the worst thing you could ever possibly spend your time doing. the worst thing for your wallet, your mental health, your personal relationships, and your sanity. please do yourself a favor. JUST QUIT. It's not too late. You don't have to beat poker. You don't have to get even. Just walk away. Speaking from experience, you will be so much happier. Stay strong and stay safe guys.
Turn action analysis feels weird to me, Alan's play is usually bad from my experience in the spot, but it ONLY works because of Texas Mike's inoptimal strategy. He should NOT be in this hand at all.
Against loose-passive fish there is of course a clear argument to be made for checking. - Against reasonable players and maniacs alike, however, we have pretty much a range check on this runout.

Won around 250$ one time in our 0.25/0.25 home game. That's not even one small blind in this game lol 😅

He never tries to embarrass his opponents.

Flew from Texas on a plane. Taking the bus back to Texas.

Doyle use to call a hand " walking back to Texas" but I can't remember the hand. Maybe it was AK ?

I’m sure they all stake with each other too so the losses/ swings aren’t so bad
@AGMI9 plenty of these folks bet more than they can afford and go broke
Idk abt other people but Keating is prolly only there to recruit rich fish to come to his home game
Ok TEXAS MIKE...ROAD to 1 MILLION😂😂😂

I love it when people chase a straight when a flush is flush out there, same with them chasing a flush when the board is paired.
Low stakes player- $2800 is my biggest pot and I won it on a bluff when I bricked the staright and flush draw.
Why is the standard in these high stakes games worse than a 10cent/25 cent global pool online game?
its other people's money they don't gaf
It's not. High stakes pros would crush the hell out of 25nl regs.

Can we talk about Texas Mike’s terrible river sizing. Jeez just bet fold for like 175K
Classic case of worse hands fold and hands that crush you call or raise.
@HAKOBO the ol' game theory disaster
for a guy who fully understand TILT, Mike still went on a massive tilt - that's the danger of high stakes poker
I think you perfectly missed to explain the most important thing here: the thought process behind the river bet sizing.

Coach John, how would you have played Mike's hand?
He probably folds pre
He wouldn't have 😂
@@McDooDooHead Mike raises to 5K pre, then gets re raised to 30k. IMO, insta fold.
@@zainsyed9811 you are prob right, still would be good to get his take.
How did Keating have the third nuts on the turn? Isn’t it the second nuts after the straight flush?
two different flush straights were possible 5-8 of hearts and 3-5 of hearts.

He did a recommended pro play - 3bet bluff with connectors.
I lost around $400 with a set of Kings when the turn gave my opponent a set of aces.
Texas Mike has to be a billionaire
Must be...Was wondering is he still on this plane.
Yeah, I definitely wonder. Either that or these streams are staking him to induce action.

Wrong. There are two possible straight flushes. Think about it and let me know if you see both.
@@zainsyed9811 you’re right there are two possible straight flushes but both need the same card (5h)
@@zainsyed9811 so if you have 3h5h is that the second nuts because 8h5h is the best possible?
It’s all the same. Loses to a straight flush combo
