  • It was quite the lineup at Live at the Bike, as Mike Matusow and Garrett Adelstein fought for a very big pot. Also with a vested interest was Phil Hellmuth, who apparently was staking Mike or had a piece of his action.

      Ye he might aswell go allin. Hes out of position and obv thinks hes ahead and want to make sure he get all the money in before showdown but i agree that is a weird way to do so.

      @@DoctorChained hey doctor I've been playing poker 40 years and I somewhat agree with you however I also subscribe to the newer way to play poker using solvers and flopzilla and you say that this hand smashes the Flop 5.5% of the time yes that's true two pair better but it also flops a flush draw 11% of the time and a straight draw 10% of the time so 21% of the time it flops a flush or a straight draw and five and a half percent it smashes a flop so 26% of the time Garrett is going to continue with this hand... Mike could have sized his 4 bet a little higher and Garrett is getting about 13 to 1 implied odds on the call preflop... if Mike only had about 20 or 25,000 would be a terrible call but I think anything 40000 or higher and you feel like you can stack the guy if you hit your hand then it's okay play.. Mike played this very bad I think you have to just fold the turn here and live to fight another day

      Lol what is he trying to accomplish by minraising then; Why doesnt he just go all in to apply max pressure; Also If he is bluffing why does he call off the rest of his stack; If he wants to create a bluffing range he could use high equity hands that block the nuts like AsJs or 10sJs. AA without a spade actually makes sense to me to use as a bluffcatcher on the turn looking to fold the rest of AA combos.

  • @dylanmcgee3408
    @dylanmcgee3408 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Doug, thanks for covering this hand. This hand does a great job showcasing why including 4bet semi-bluffs like 67s, 89s, 9Ts, TJs, and JQs at low frequencies is so important for your range. If you only 4bet Aces and Kings, this board just has you crushed. You will have 3 combinations of a set of kings, and 6 combinations of Aces. That means that 2/3 of the time you are drawing dead, and 1/3 of the time you have about 25% equity.
    If you only 4bet Aces and Kings, though, I do think calling down is fine with these aces is fine. If you only 4bet aces and kings, I would take this line when facing the turn $10k bet:
    *3 combos of AA with a spade - FOLD.
    *3 combos of AA without a spade: call. Call river if there is not a spade. In this case there was a spade so you would fold river. Your opponent can have hands like AJs, AQs, ATs which are pair and a flush draw or Straight draw + a flush draw.
    *3 combos of a set of kings - Jam turn. Worst case you have 25% shot to hit a boat.

    • @DoctorChained
      @DoctorChained 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Also, if you're not results-oriented this is a good example of not being deep enough to call preflop with 76s. You're not flopping nearly enough to justify a call with those stack sizes. Doug Polk is right, you should just fold.

    I said it before and I will say it again, I find it unethical to back another player in a game you are actually playing in. I don't think there is any intent to cheat, but it creates situations where motivations can be questioned and unnatural situations occur. It's just not right and should be avoided. It BS to lose a hand to player A and actually have player B lamenting the loss, it's ridiculous.

Garrett always buys in for the max and always plays in the toughest NL cash games. he should show some respect or at least stfu. wether he stakes his buddy or not. he can save his rants for when he's playing turnaments.

    I’m not sure what the turn raise was, it seems a good board to check the flop with aces - Nut advantage is def in the 3bet call range, a few sets etc. I thought checking aces there was good. Then on turn it seems that line went well of track. Least it was a heads up pot. Tonight in cash game I seen a guy basically do this exact same thing on a wet board in a 6 way pot with aces 500 blinds deep vs 2 big stacks. He folded turn after putting in about 50% stack.

  • @laxrulz7
    @laxrulz7 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Okay, genuine question. Why is Garrett's call "bad"... I can't construct it to make it "bad". Depending on assumptions, I can make it VERYVERY slim negative EV (like betting $3100 to win $3000 kind of thin) but those are under some pretty tough assumptions (super tight range by Mike, Garrett acts like a calling station for draws, etc). If we assume there's even a snow ball's chance in hell that Mike takes this line with stuff broader than QQ+, AK suited then it seems pretty solid from Garrett here. I'd like to point out that Upswing poker's website says that the open range in the lojack is (44+, A2s+, K9s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, 65s, 54s, 43s, ATo+, KJo+, QJo). How many of those hands does he 4 bet? Doesn't he occasionally 4bet a fair number of them (like almost all the pairs?). I think a lot of the discussion about the decision assumes that the commentators during the clip are right and that Mike's only range is QQ+, AK suited and that just seems like wayyyy too tight a range for this.

    Its just that mike is always playing so tight and predictable preflop that his hand is face-up when he 4 bets, so Garrett can just fold the flop (risking 3000) or getting it all in since mike is probably not folding aces easily. Garrett read the situation perfectly

      Any good player would fold aces after that turn reraise by garret, you beat nothing there and garret wouldn't do that on a bluff when mike only has 12k behind since he has no fold equity. Although a good player wouldn't check raise that turn to begin with, all it does is fold out a bluff or any top pair or mid pair combo draws your opponent might have as well as any over pairs that aren't KK, all of which you want to keep betting for you.
