Hello Phill!! Would be really nice if u make a video like these one, but in now a days. I watch u from brazil, very good english to improve my second language
Incredible skill getting dealt a pair (which the player has nothing do with) and then catches the other two remaining fours on the flop......exactly why this is such a game of skill.
She got aces , the best starting hand , then made a set on flop follow by a full house on river , its near impossible to fold that and this is one of those bad beat moments every poker player runs into eventually, horrible luck .
It's so deceptive as it looks like Nik is genuinely tanking on the river and going through his options, In reality he is only thinking about Sweets, cakes, ice-cream and men's Genitalia!
Niks turn bet is fine, clears equity and better to be H/U for river especially OOP, but his river bet makes zero sense on Ts. On the Ten of diamonds etc would make much more sense for obvious reasons but still be bad! What the hell does he think Mariano can ever call him with on Ten of spades specifically, that he also called turn with 3rd player still to act behind therefore making Mariano also OOP to 3rd player on river too, hence Mariano range is super strong
This was prime entertainment. Second only to 'High Stakes Poker'. The rail was huge everytime he sat down and the swings were truly unbelievable. What a legendary time in poker history.
Ranges, combos, possibilities mean absolutely nothing when it comes to two key factors in the game of poker; luck and the possibility of getting bluff at ANY time.
Quick poker fact…it’s called the river on the end because they used to throw cheaters off the river boats where they could gamble out west. Cheaters would try to deal themselves an extra card on the end because they were playing five card stud and an extra card would give them a big advantage over time. So they would toss the cheaters into the river when caught at the end of dealing.:).
I’m surprised Nik bet on the end, unless he was hoping the guy with quads would think he had spades, not knowing he had 4444. Or he didn’t want to call an even bigger bet on the river.
Video was very well done. Keep talking about these hands with your analysis, it’s better. Another way you can do it, is by letting us watch the unedited clip then break it down after, although you might need to preface or give context. Aside from that, you explain the repping range of Mariano really well (river), along with the perspective of airball. This is one of your better videos, worth a like.
He was no even close to the best, I can tell. He was gifted intuitively, but he didnt study, so he could never be the best. Also, terrible bankroll management, yikes
