At the beginning: “KQ, great removal hand. He blocks AK, KK, QQ.” A few minutes later: “Nick could have QQ, KK or AK in his range.” That term is being used incorrectly. You’re changing the meaning of “blocking”. It’s only removing 2 cards from an array of hands. You can block the nut flush because you have the Ah. You can’t say Garrett is blocking QQ and QQ is in Nick’s range.
Lol but he does block them hands, it’s just not impossible for Nick to have them even tho Garrett blocks them, having blockers doesn’t mean Nick 100% hasn’t got them hands, just limits them a bit! The only thing wrong with the term blocking is we’re over powering it and over powering it by quite a bit.
Kieran Schwar So by definition, he does not block those hands. So it shouldn’t be called “blocking”. That’s all. I know what they mean when they say it. It’s just confusing and needs a separate term.
that kq tho that was a very bad fold, literally the only combination that makes sense for value is j10, but after checking the flop he just has to call, there are a mkllion combinatiions that could've decided to bluff with air after garret capping his range through checking the flop..
I think Garret probably beats Ivy and Dwan. They were both miles ahead their time but times have caught up and the crushers today are not the same ones as before haha
Mattia L. Not literal example but it has happened many times with Garret and his opponents and what you’ll notice in poker in general (refer to the game theory concept of the “infinite bankroll”) - if you can afford to reload and cover your opponents forever or essentially forever, no matter how many times they double up, eventually you will take everything they have and they’ll have to start from scratch. It’s essentially the martingale system that was developed for roulette only the failure of martingale is that the casinos have the “infinite bankroll” and can cap your bets, so eventually you will lose 11 times in a row or whatever other statistically unlikely outcome flipping red/black or whatever, but they can always match your bet so as long as you return, the one with the infinite bankroll always ends up the winner. That’s the idea they’re poking at, because Garret buys in so deep and has more $ than them or at least is willing to put up more For poker
Mamacita, Marle & Squints from The Sandlot return to Live at the Bike! next Wednesday, November 6th at 6pm PT/9pm ET for a super action $5/$5/$10 game. The lineup includes: Mamacita instagram.com/mamacitapoker Squints instagram.com/squints Patrick instagram.com/patrickcurran100 Lynne instagram.com/helloitslynne Marle instagram.com/marlzbarkley1 Thanks for watching!
Given pre flop action, nick can have all 6 combos of aq/ak, 9 sets and the occasional turned fd that made it - about 5/6 combos in total. He could only have k/qj suited as bluffs of which there are very few left. Good fold by Garrett. Nick blocks no value continuing hands (there are 9 combos of ak/aq, only like 3 kqss and the 9 sets that could take garrets line. Given spr, I could definitely see him play those passively. But given the flop action, you'd bet most decent ax here and balance occasionally with top 2 style hands or aa as you block continuing ranges. So that narrows down his range to maybe half the sets and aq/ak hands that will always call and aj ss/a10ss, kjss maybe style hands you could bluff out. I actually dunno if this was a good jam by nick. I'd rather do it with ax/kx style hands that block garrets value range and would consider keeping kq/aq/ak in my bluff catching call ranges.
People don't bluff river enough though so I don't mind the jam. And qjss and k/q10ss hands are also in garrets range which would fold to a jam. Plus all the jj/1010/99 combos too. I forgot about that. I like the bluff actually.
I remember last year when I started watching LATB all the time and it’s really amazing how much Nick has gotten better. Playing with GOATs every day like Garrett and Art clearly helped him learn on the fly.
@@60435 I'm sure he did. But that's crazy progress in a year, even if he had really high quality coaching. And he runs a company, so it's not like he can devote 100% of his time to the game.
@@SSky06 True, hats off to the guy man, he plays great and is fun to watch. The quickest way to get better in poker is to play with the best, it will pay off in the end.
Ranges are fairly defined in this spot, that's why. Nick won't have many combos below JTs except for a few pairs like 77. Gman knows this, and Nick knows that he knows this. It's a p high level bluff tbh. You're right that he's not repping many combos, and that's why the shove is scary. See also: Sam Trickett ;)
@@pugsnhogz How can he have AK and QQ (and AA-KK as JJ mentions) in this spot because those hands are pretty much a crystal clear 4 bet pre? JJ also fails to mention the most obvious hand that is being repped by this line when making a slight overbet shove on the river which is a flush. There are multiple combos of AdXd and KdXd in addition to JTdd/98dd/87dd... possible some others depending on how wide Nick is defending. A straight is also possible. Why he comes up with a range consisting of mostly hands that make no sense is beyond me.
@@StuartFerguson55 I see your point, but I do think Nick in particular might trap here with big pairs sometimes. He knows Garrett is aggressive. Good point though that JJ left some pretty credible hands out of his range analysis.
@@StuartFerguson55 Already saw plenty of times Nick just flatting a 3bet with AK preflop. I do agree that you want to 4bet this hand in general, but Nick tends to often call 3bets with premiums.
Represent that flush, he can’t call, great bet. Check the flop is suss but has worked out perfect, bet the turn like you’ve picked up a draw and the perfect card drops. 💥
Knit fold, he only had a pot sized bet after he called the turn, if you call the turn you better know what he had behind to call the river if it’s a brick... it was a brick and with 2 pair you have to pay a pot sized bet off
Damn, look at Nick! I’m not his biggest fan but I gotta give him props for his aggressive bluffs that put players in tough spots lately. I’m not sure if he had the confidence to do that a few months ago.
I would fucking LOVE to see a game where players could comment whatever they wanted before the flop, on the flop, and on river decisions. They could all say “I think he’s bluffing, or he taps his left hand the last three times and he’s had the nuts, or I’ll give u half if u make the call” etc etc. That would be an incredible game to watch and would have to have a way different strategy.
and the self-soothing stroking his beard with his thumb.... however he could be using reverse tells also, although as we see the hole cards we know different of course.
I know the pot sizes are different but it’s cool to know nick was able to fold the nut flush vs Garrett’s boat to a massive overbet in the other vid but call this cause of instincts
Honestly thought Garrett was going to call.. Nick's body language was giving his bluff away.. guy was ready to explode inside, you could see it.. should have asked for more time..
I dont understund one think. Many times in different situation i hear from dealer 10seconds and player thinkink after that many minutes without using time option
I mean anyone can list out hands that beat them. Garrett is saying he has a 5 or a straight or a turned/rivered set. If Garrett bet smaller then Nick would probably ditch faster but Gmans bet was so big that he's polarizing, and it was a lot easier for Nick to sniff out because of that
maybe a thumb tell? he increased pace of stroking beard around 4:34 when Garrett said he was leaning towards not putting money in then seemingly pulled himself back and stopped the stroking of the beard with thumb all together... idk though could just be making something out of nothing
Idk, I think this is pretty much a snap fold. So many hands beat you. AK AQ JT AA KK QQ + all suited connectors of diamonds, all of which I can see playing it excactly like this sometimes. You beat like JJ and TT that go for this sometimes, the 77 is just such a wild bluff and out there that you cant really give it to nick that often. Its a good spot and cool to see he finds bluffs even though the diamonds get there, but I know im folding this very often if not always.
Video I want to see: If the table never 'closed' at Live At The Bike, Vegas etc., how do the Winners 'bow out gracefully, with the cash'? I mean, we all gotta stop sometime, right? That story. How about it Live At The Bike?
Well its pretty obvious Nick's playing better, he used to come to the bike strictly to sit down at the table and get live stream massages. Rumour has it one time Nick showed up in just a bathrobe. They banned massages at the bike ever since.
If Nick had a 100k behind like Gman it would of been a totally different situation . But when Nick sensed that Gman was bluffing thst what was hella gangster
I’m a simple man...I see G-man and I click play 🤩
CzechRaiseCharles I see a Charles vlog and click play!
Lmao me too!!!

Thank you for not spoiling the hands in the title like you usually do.
G-man is seriously the GOAT whether he wins or loses, always handles the situation so well.

No matter whether he wins or loses watching Garrett play is equivalent to witnessing art.
Ξεξηρξειι3 Ηεηξειεξ Art Papazyan lol
@@prototypejack671 I should not have laughed but here we are
Garret just have deeper pockets and lots of luck man! Art impressed me more.
I wonder why his stack is so small, he might be doing a lot of bad calls and bluffs maybe?
That Nick dude schooled your hero. Buffed him. Then called his bluff with dueces. Any pair was good with that board.
I tried the “it didn’t make sense scenario once” I was knocked out in the 4th hand
Hahaha. You probably didn’t make sense of it correctly
We need to see Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan playing these guys for cash!! That would be epic!!
Don’t think Ivey is gonna be playing in the US anytime soon.
0rbital why not?
MMA filthy casual
Baldwin Stakes Dwan?
Thought Wei Seng Phua had sole proprietorship over that.
I think Garret probably beats Ivy and Dwan. They were both miles ahead their time but times have caught up and the crushers today are not the same ones as before haha
These gues buy-ins are phil and Tom's blinds.
I love how positive Garrett is. Such a nice dude.
MATTHEW WESTCOTT what!? G being nice!?? Then u don’t kno the dude
@@arfa9601 clearly you don’t know him. He’s always a class act.
I’d love a video of Gman talking out his decision making process in every day life decisions.
"he got chu" gotta love art lol
TheNDex when they get the chance to needle G, it’s the best
What’s the difference? They beat him 7 times in a row and then he just stacks them in one hand because he always has the table covered.
G MAN
It’s funny everyone calls him G-Man b/c he’s so good and his middle name is actually Mann!
Advertise, advertise, advertise SELL
Joe Ince really nick win 7 hands in a row and then Garrett send him all in and took back his money?

"Do you run that good?" That, my friend, is a documented fact...unworthy of ever being questioned...even in a pseudo-rhetorical fashion.
Two amazing plays from Nick versus the master himself, Gman.
This honestly just makes me miss the Art v. Garrett street fights
Given pre flop action, nick can have all 6 combos of aq/ak, 9 sets and the occasional turned fd that made it - about 5/6 combos in total.
He could only have k/qj suited as bluffs of which there are very few left.

nice insight man. very nice break down. you win best comment award lol
My poker study these days is exclusively talking to myself in TH-cam comment sections of videos
I just love Vertucci's style of play, and he really likes to shove on the river 😂
I've seen G-man call for A LOT more with only a pair. Surprised he folded.
he folded because he though his range looks too strong for the guy to attempt to bluff him
That grill is priceless.
Nick said, Fuck it, it is just chips only. Lol
I remember last year when I started watching LATB all the time and it’s really amazing how much Nick has gotten better. Playing with GOATs every day like Garrett and Art clearly helped him learn on the fly.

I think Garrett put him ona rivered flush like aj of diamonds.
@@woswasdenni1914 this. I thought if I was Garrett I'd be thinking "I'm beating 0 value hands and how many combos is he turning into a bluff here?"
Probably not 1/3 of them
He def put him on J-10 suited or mainly a flush I agree
Nick has clearly gained alot of talent over the last year or 2. Good for you mate
Garret Over there looking like Tanny Devito
Nick has improved so significantly over the past year it's insane
@John Nichols this isn't the only video of him lmao
That “Straddle.” Tee is dope af
I liked that "f*ck it!"
Title sucked me in 👌🏼
Wasn't disappointed 👌🏼
I hated it
Just kidding I fricking love this channel!
Keep up the great work boys! 👍🏻 🖤
Man I miss these live battles.
Who ever does these TH-cam video titles is a master-click-bater
Awesome commentary, informative, very impressive. Nice work.
Love to see guys deal with tough situations
Art with the needle, what a goof lol
I remember watching Nordy live. That was funny viewing.
The half smile was a nice touch.
These guys play each other constantly..It's a pretty friendly game.
the turn bet setup the bluff, well done.
Jonathan Little approves of Garret's flop check
Last time i came this early my gf was dissappointed
It's OK, I figure she's used to it by now 😄

Nah, she was probably just glad to have it over with. 🤣

Gotta love art with the needle. lol
I want a “Straddle” shirt 👍🏻🐐🐐
*adjusts glasses smugly*
I think you mean, ‘to whom’.
hurt ego at the end.
Only been watching the stream for about 7 months and watching Nick go from a pretty poor-playing rec to what he is now has been cool, for sure.
Andy with JT could have done major damage with that first hand.
That flop check is insulting...
How can he have AQ AK or QQ with all that card removal lol
big sam last time i checked there is 4 of each card

What's Nicks image?
Garrett looks like a Simpson character

I made the same call this weekend playing $1/$2 with 44 except it was a $25 call on the river into a $60 pot. lol
that stung! and did i hear andy actually speak during the hand????????
Once he covers his mouth, I would be tempted to call.
and the self-soothing stroking his beard with his thumb.... however he could be using reverse tells also, although as we see the hole cards we know different of course.
I know the pot sizes are different but it’s cool to know nick was able to fold the nut flush vs Garrett’s boat to a massive overbet in the other vid but call this cause of instincts
Or J 10? Also Diamonds came home how is that not addressed JJ?
it looks like nick has a running flush. It doesn't have to be sets or two pair.
Looks like a very nice livestream , I'll definitely start watching .
What date was this session? Kinda want to watch it. Not often you see Garrett's pride hurt after getting looked up
September 13, 2019. For future reference this info is always in the description below the video.
Honestly thought Garrett was going to call.. Nick's body language was giving his bluff away.. guy was ready to explode inside, you could see it.. should have asked for more time..
Full statue mode
He is human!!!!
From a non player, What is a Straddle please????.
Damn !!!! He called you with duces !!!!!!!!
I dont understund one think. Many times in different situation i hear from dealer 10seconds and player thinkink after that many minutes without using time option
They use the time option automatically then

Super stoked to see Nick beat Garrett at his own game!!!
I got 2 pair, heads up. I'm calling, I don't care which pair, I call. That's just me, though. I'm an aggressive kinda guy.
I think with the Q blocker he has to call there. It’s flush or nothing.
Idk, I think this is pretty much a snap fold. So many hands beat you. AK AQ JT AA KK QQ + all suited connectors of diamonds, all of which I can see playing it excactly like this sometimes.
