I think a mix of GTO and Exploitative play is optimal for live poker. You'd want to observe the table and see them through the lens of GTO play and see how they deviate, then exploit them a pip or two wider from GTO play yourself. I would never go completely against game theory play, but just play the borderline hands where I could go either way base on what I observe how my opponents play.
Yeah Andy is so far from GTO. in fact left hand by Charlie was played fine according to the wizard. Some of his sizing was off but his line is a thing.

Even if there were queens left, it would be really boring. 5 puts a one liner out there to a straight so both players probably just check it down with their sets.
@krs-fltutorials4487 I think the opposite. I find it hard to believe it could be a persona. It's so consistent and he seems so genuinely gleeful about it. I think that's just who he is.
Gotta say... don't know Andy well enough to kmow how strong and nimble he is, mentally. Can he adjust to the moment? If so, yeah he shoves. If not, or if he should be more cautious in this situation because of the overall strategic landscape (pot sizes, blinds, etc.) then I can see him folding.
Just one question: Can't the other players (team members) see what Martin and Arieh fold? Because they folded KQ and Q2, so why they cheering for Q on the flop?
After your explanation, Jon, i agree and really think calling or maybe even getting crazy and jamming is the correct play here. Carrol should have a flush or hands that chop in this scenario.
right - i was surprised to say it wasn't. I think the 3b pre makes it so you don't want to very much. In single raised pots you have more leads but in 3b pots the pre - flop caller almost never leads.
@eldad4446 in 100 bb spots you do lead this in 3 bet pos for a small bet, they were playing like 400bb deep so maybe not that deep and you do more check raising or just calling.
@@danielhenry6777yeah ur right I was actually super surprised to see the amount of leading done. Even the sizing is actually GTO which is wild. 11% of the time Charlie should lead around 1.5BBs which he did lmfao crazy game
3:55 But why would a single overpair like pocket queens ever raise on such a coordinated board? Like, I've seen SO many players lose against hands like 7,6 in these situations, it's crazy. Sure, 7,6 will likely never raise pre and then call a reraise, but I've even seen that happen. I just tend to play overpairs a bit more passively there. But with too many draws, having only an overpair, I've lost too often in these situations when I chose to raise.
I don't see Andy ever shoving this spot, but it is an interesting idea. Charlie's decision on the river is pretty clear - a big bet. If you don't think Andy has many flushes here, even a 9 might be scared to call. Realistically Andy's best hope is for a chop if he calls, so it sets up a bit of chicken if he wants to blast it. I agree with Fedor though - let's see how this turns out.
Pre is fine outside of making his open to large. He also has more sets on the flop. Neither player should have a str8. I still don't like the donk though. Betting the turn is good because as said in the video Andy should check back a lot on this runout. It's horrible for his range
@@ChrisM-wv4gs Charlie has all 98s combos, Andy should only have one or so (GTOwizard says 3b 98s like 33%). They should have the same amount of 99. I think donking is fine, PFA should be checking like 50% of range on this board including. GTOwizard likes donking 40% of the time, but interestingly prefers 25% 3:1 over 10%.
(answer before seeing the final result of video). Yep...Andy shoves. He won't put Carrel on a 9 and because Carrel didn't bet the flush draw on the flop he's not worried about a flush. Jonathan suggested that Carrel might have been playing a suited 9-7 but highly unlikely. Andy will calculate that Carrel will have very few possibilities of flush and 9 hands vs. other hands and decide to play strong, take the fold equity and make Carrel have a very difficult decision for his tournament life.
Just watched the result and also listened to Jonathan's rationale. I think Jonathan's logic makes more sense regarding Carrel having more Ah and Kh made hands more in a 9 handed game but this was a 4 handed game at this point -- he is more likely to be bluffing with one heart in his hand at this point. The Qh is a very strong blocker therefore making it less likely that Carrel held hearts for a flush too then (AhQh, KhQh, Qh,Jh, Qh,10h, Qh,9h, Qh,8h are all blocked). Andy has always been a cautious player in the live cash games at Hustler therefore it doesn't surprise me that he's even more cautious in a tournament setting. This is also probably why Garrett always ate Andy's lunch on those live streams all the time too. I agree with Fedor - aggression all the way.
If the flush wasn't there I'd happily shove -- more likely to get Carrel to fold vs Carrel having a 9. But I'm folding with three hearts (and Carrel getting more aggressive on the turn.
@@gesus.christ99people will sometimes push this line in 2NL. It's so common. Doh... we have to chop... maybe if I go all in I can push someone off a chop etc.
@@MrAgmoore I have seen people fold their quads with ace kicker because they didn't know they would chop/had the nuts (Quads on board). Also if the nuts are on the board it is the right strategy to go all in without rake. I mean the other player could still get a heart attack before he calls... the chance is >0 lol
"GTO", lmao. The very first action in the hand is not GTO. GTO would never 3-bet to 5.5bb with 100bb stacks. Andy probably wouldn't even beat nl100 online.
The lead was more than fine. Andy does not have the nut advantage here. He's not 3 betting pocket 7, 6, or 4. This flop is terrible for Andy. I would assume the solver wants Andy to check back a lot in this spot. Leading puts pressure on Andy's ENTIRE RANGE. Carrell has all of the sets....Andy doesn't.
He set the price for his draw with that small flop bet even if Andy three bets he should have odds to call that river bet is the result of no resistance from Andy giving him the ability to rep the pocket nines there is a fine line between genius and stupidity in this game.
I guess Andy would Never Shove in this spot, giving his tepid play from the beginning of the play... he actually folded, which is the play I would have made myself.
I don’t agree with littles analysis when he went through Charlie’s perceived opinion of Andy’s range on the River. He said Andy couldn’t have a flush and would be folding out any combination of 9 on the turn. I’ve watched Andy play a lot that’s just not true. Andy could have flushes there and a hand like Q9 with one heart, little said it’s not possible but I strongly disagree.
i feel like some guy saying the action by seat number instead of position would drive me insane. its like trying to count in ur head while somebody else is saying numbers.
I don't see how he can shove. I don't think he would shove with just a 9 and he can't really represent a flush either. I paused the video so I could be wrong
I didnt like the flop bet. Much too small. Should have been at least 90k instead of 30k. It used to be one of my bad plays - to bet small on the flop, not learn anything about their hand when they just flat...So I would have bet much larger there, but his river bet is great. Although I thought he talked himself into a call on the river, he got lucky there... I've seen players get busted calling a shove when they thought they were calling to chop...I think Andy made a good fold, because he was calling to chop...
I predict Andy is shoving.... now watching....oh, horrible. By the way, suited T9 was a possibility. (Edit) Oh sorry, obviously I didn't mean by the end.
EZ call here, if C had 2 pair, sets, or Flush at flop he would had bet big or shov to defend. Since this did not happen you put C on high cards or a pair. Same with Turn, if C made the Flush, why not Shov. Betting big on the River only means 1 thing, trying to steal the pot. If A was in position, he would had done exactly what C did, so call.
Wtffffffff bad play by BOTH. Charlie sucks cuz hes giving off so many tells of his own and andy sucks cuz he wont just look at charlie giving off his tells. First i would have raised the flop bet n then i would have checked the turn n call the river. God these guys piss me off. Wish i could play against them.
QQ should have 3bet the flop then folded to any subsequent bets. the board straight sets up andy to rep 99 and thats it if he shoves. If he shoves any decent player will call with their car keys in hand

@@marksimpson2321 is just pure discussion, i dont hate Andy or what. i think he is competent enough in lots of live cash game especially those deep money cash game. but i do think Andy technical side has lots of flaw that is very imbalance (but suit his game) to survive and make a living in poker you just need to find player that are weaker than us and willing keep playing with us will do. in live game especially in those environment, Andy is definitely competent and strong in those live game with the bosses
