80yr Old Plays Big Poker Hand vs Andy from Live at the Bike! 

Please update us if you get a response from him!

From Ryan Feldman’s Twitter.. “Just looked thru old texts. March 15, 2017. Stephen and Ben from Arizona. Stephen was indeed 79. He needed the 5 seat so that he could see. @andystackspoker this was the day when I was stuck a ton, I texted Keefe at 6am and he showed up and I stacked him for a bunch. Lol.”

@@CrushlivePoker Legend! lol

Totally agree. Loved it.

Agree!

He was 78 when the hand happened ..and he was taking a shot at the game.

@@mxg1072 LA was referring to the original friend who was up all night playing in the 5/10 that increased to 10/20 throughout the night.

@@JT-dm4xv That friend was mid-40s.

Michael Galatolie he was 78 when the hand started and 80 when it finished

Old timers overvalue small pairs I find

U right!

I had an 80ish year old guy calling into me with pocket 3's on an all overcard board every time I'd raise, just because he saw me playing pocket 3's 2 hands before when there was a 3 on the board. Some of them are just there for fun I guess. lol Felt guilty raising, so only raised like $10 at a time, but he just kept calling.. It's like, Sir.. You showed down 3's? why?

@@mattfox5933 I'm not sure how that's relevant. Given the stack size and the action pre-flap anybody that is in any way competent calls with pocket sixes.

In live poker small stakes 95% of people set mine lol especially in a single raised pot to like 15-25$. They dont care about position, pot odds, if they're the only one calling. they are always seeing a flop with a pair lmao

LOL good one

fuck that's good!

hahahaha You see Bart at one point smiling but thinking "ffs get on with the story"

They just come from a generation where good storytelling was important because they didnt grow up with 24 hour TV and the internet. I love old people stories.

That's part of the charm man, love this guy and hope he's still playing

why all the tanking and hollywood. so lame

@@ericwong6008 cuz it’s a spot where you would think when raising as a bluff too, and thinking is done in general in very large pots

not good for RU-vid search algorithm

Theoretically yes. But this isnt limit players actually have to have the balls to do it and would much likely rather call with KJ and lose than turn KJ, a hand that they sometimes see winning at showdown into a bluff. You are much more likely to see a hand like 97 do this on this runout that can never have the best hand.

@@CrushlivePoker so you feel so few players will do an all-in bluff that it makes folding almost every time with one pair a winning play? But once you gain the reputation of sometimes all-in bluffing, it becomes a completely different situation? Thanks for your answer. I appreciate it.

You can definitely over fold the river in live NL. Players like showdown far to much. River aggression being a raise on the river.

Mate, if hero raises here on flop or turn Andy lightning-mucks QJ.

@@paulyramone1 No he doesnt. On a non flush board and only straight draws. Andy is not "lightning mucks" 🤦🏻‍♂️

oh FFS the guy was 78 years old he can do what he wants with his own money,not like he thinking of becoming a pro player hes just there for some fun ya miserable fckn prick

good lesson. Regardless of player's age.

Well Bart,The dealer dealt me 66,did i mention the dealer looked like James Stewart,I used to watch all his movies at the theatre for a nickel,no streaming in those days and no damn CGI nonsense,eemm where am i and who are you?

The Hero has AA - KK? Huh? You watching the same hand? Hero called just called the 3! Preflop and has flatted flop and turn bets now he’s going to shove with AA-KK?

@@CrushlivePoker yea this guy is lost

This guy would not get to rivers AA,KK and raise this spot

i think so. which is why i would never min raise the river with this hand, if i am picking that sizing it is with the nuts or with air so i have an easy call/fold after. With hero's hand it is all-in or call. usually I would play it as an all-in but at these stakes vs Andy I would of also just called. Hero played it good imo,

Almost always. It's going to come down to dynamics. Are you self aware enough to understand your image in your opponents eyes? Against a good opponent if you know you have a solid rep you could fold. They just aren't going to waste their chips bluffing here. The reason being that you are essentially committing to the pot, 25 out of 44 doesn't leave a fold. I really would not recommend putting yourself in such a spot. Given hero's image I'm not sure he should ever have the nuts here. Probably his very best hand would be QQ he somehow never 4 bet pre of raised prior. JJ is the second best, 88 obviously in range and then 66. When you really consider your distribution you are not likely to chase 9 10 to the river and care too much about money. Making a min raise opens you up to be in a bad spot and a good player will recognize your true strength. Andy would not be shoving for value but for a fold unless he had JJ minimum. So few combos that he would almost always be bluffing to exploit scared money. Too many better spots to get into rather than trying to out level a player like Andy. Put someone else on this set like Zack, Garrett, Gal or even Nick and it's a different dynamic where this " merge" type play could be very polarized. Too much info missing such as time tanking, previous history etc that might allow for such thin value. I mean really, what calls unless we are bluffing with air and this would seem a very strange bluff line. Since Andy can have JJ, QQ 88 and even 9 10 our hand just isn't that great, the board doesn't offer many two pair combos that go for value on this river. Better spots to choose if you want thin value and to be put in a tough spot.

What?

No way does he put him on aa or kk with a raise on the river

Andy 3 bets bigger then the Heros stack...I don't understand how people that get Sets get so worried about other Sets...If I catch a Set and run into a higher one then you just gotta consider it a cooler but on a dry board like that I am getting more value for catching a set

Lol, worse is that he’s losing $6K (Donation match) instead of the $3K (donation). Can’t just give away those $Billions ya know!!!

He said 79 not 59.

Needs a hearing aid?!

I can't imagine making a turn call that light against a strong range. What was your plan on river, had you missed?

Andrew G Depends on the river, if the river was ab10/K I might have bluffed representing the 1 to a straight, but I was just chasing as I know his range is so narrow & reward is big if I hit

And almost everybody reading this knows even the older guy is making money playing with you....This is the type of bad lucky suck out hand you can become famous with!...."older guys never play K10,QT,K9 those type of hands"....And This is the kind of flawed logic that will cost a lot in poker, and in life....
