Garret mentions the amount of times hes been bluffed out of pots, and calls... Then Mikki looks straight at him with a stone cold face with the only words "straight" and you could see Garret nod his head😂 he got crushed
1:54 Mikki does so well with his demeanor and his motion on this bet imo, so reverse tell-y and I think he genuinely looks hesitant as he bets. Gotta hand it to him in some of these pots for sure. He's almost as fun to watch as Dwan was back in the day. Different minds but similar heart.
I love how Mikki disregards the "unspoken rules" and talks/plays how he feels in the moment. Shakes up the game a bit and a lot of experienced and/or pro players have that arrogance about how the game should be played (not in this specific instance). It's nice to see that challenged once in a while. He's just so authentic like he's playing a house-game with friends lol very refreshing to watch.
@@dawgyo I guess "unspoken" isn't the right word, but there's a lot of sh*t that the pro's would frown upon lol like raising in certain positions tbh a lot of it feels like a weird gentleman's agreement among the pro's. It's kinda like in baseball how you don't swing on certain counts in certain situations or the pitcher will fight you 😂
@@dawgyoThat's not unspoken agreements, that's just part of the game. For certain reasons you want to check to the pre flop aggressor. You don't really ever donk bet in high level play because it loses you money. Mikki isn't disrespecting the rules he's just not playing strong poker which is completely fine. Dudes having fun and giving action, but besides slow rolling and angling I don't think pros care about any of that stuff.
I love how the commentators are throwing snarky remarks at Mikki like he’s some sort of rookie just because he doesn’t have the typical “Poker-guy” appearance. It pisses me off but Mikki shuts them up with his winnings
@@mm1k3y poker is a skill game, that’s why the same folks end up at the WSOP every year, skill. It’s math (what hands to play) and also playing your opponent
@@BroLaxChill That's just not true. Anyone with 10k to gamble can join the WSOP. There is skill involved of course but it's very limited and its cancelled out when everyone players both have the skill required meaning it's just a big gamble.
The first clip was the exact hand that allowed Mikki to pull off that amazing bluff on Garret with a lousy 5high later that night lol This is why pokers great. If that hand never happened Garret would have 100% called his bluff.
Mikki is like a "textbook" example of don't judge a book by it's cover because he is one of the most polite people I have ever seen and you just expect a hard dude with those hand tats. Those things had to hurt.
@@jazzfeline5970 it’s hilarious seeing those rich kids grow up to try and portray themselves as having had a rough life. Everyone from the outside of it wants in for the image and everyone from the inside wants what the rich people have!
What's to judge and what are your metrics? White? Short? Skinny? Fat? Young? Old? How about DONT JUDGE period...maybe that will help you out in life. Nobody sets a metric for how one should be judge
@@jazzfeline5970 IDK anything about him, but he seemed like a soft spoken person at the table. How he acts elsewhere for sure matters on who he is as a person I just didn't expect him to be so soft spoken and overly passive. Who knows maybe he gets some alcohol and a little blow in him and flies off the rails (coke, poker, or life's rails take your pick).
I've been seeing a lot of Mikki lately... my man wins a lot of money!!! He seems like a cool cat that's been through a lot of heavy s**t but turned it all around, beating down casinos!!! Good for Mik, man!!!
@@TribekaGaming what dude; what r you his boyfriend..I never said that he didnt have millions or didnt win at casinos I jus said in that stream.. here I'll say it again so ur tiny brain can understand; in that stream he was up 230 grand and lost it all
@@awar-bb5ru it was a bad call when he checked raised with 3/5. But it worked out, This is poker other than reading a person this is unpredictable. When you’re hot you’re hot when you’re cold you’re cold. He was running great the whole time. Not to mention it’s hard to lay a pocket pair down, that it was only one over pair to his jacks, that he been bullying the whole table. Sometimes you have to call just to keep the people at bay. He caught his straight on the River, bad call or not anyone that played his style will call that just to keep players on their toes and because they’re running hot
@@DB-hy8pr alright ima agree with you when you said “anyone who plays his style is going to call in that situation” and you’re right they will because he’s wild and his play style doesn’t win in the long run. Regardless if it’s entertaining to watch it eventually runs dry, making bad calls and playing every weak hands out of position just because you have “that image” isn’t going to benefit anyone, but the other players at the table. I’d give this guy a year max before he’s broke and you rarely ever hear from him again, because eventually his luck runs out and the people that are backing him to play are gonna stop because nobody backs a losing ticket. The only reason I give him a year is because of people like you who hype this guy up and make excuses for his bad play, but eventually even that won’t be enough to carry this guy. And seriously I’m giving you some advice if you are new to this game and if you aren’t new then you wouldn’t listen anyways but hopefully you take this to heart if you are new and save yourself some money and time in the long run, if you think that trying to “read” your opponent is a winning strategy outside of the very top players that have countless hours with each other or when you have someone who is extremely new to the game then you are wrong and even then it’s still a losing a strategy, live reads on an opponents behavior happens accurately so little you might as well quit waisting your time trying to learn it and just study some actual strategy, also if you are basing whether to play certain hands on when you’re running good or you are “hot” then you are playing a losing strategy, cards don’t care whether you are feeling yourself they will come out the way they were destined to regardless, again your best strategy is to actually study strategy and how certain hands play in certain positions better than others and how to correctly size your bets vs the odds so that you can in theory always make +EV moves which is a winning strategy. Now to address the point you made of keeping them at “bay” I don’t want to keep anyone at “bay” I want them thinking I’m the worst player at the table at all times this leads to them playing lower ranged hands against me and allows me to place bigger bets and raises because I know they will get called, so no when I choose to play a hand it’s normally a hand that I would view as a strong hand given position and odds and therefore I want action not for everyone to stay at “bay”. And now to address the pocket pair being hard to lay down. Mikki raised the straddle out of position showing krish he was strong, krish calls showing either he’s trapping or has a subpar hand however krish is in position and knows that mikki is strong because of his raise so he knows that if he hits mikki is a weaker player and will most likely pay him off, the ace hits the board on the flop and mikki checks, this tells krish that mikki is either trying to trap with the ace or that he afraid of the ace, but because there are two to a flush out there if mikki had an ace he would most likely bet the ace trying to krish to either fold the potential flush draw he could have or get him to call a bet for a draw that puts him at bad odds, but because mikki checks it shows he afraid of the ace, so krish checks knowing that he’s got mikki beat right now but that he’s going to see the next card for free and as long as it’s not another spade then he can essentially attempt to get profit knowing that he’s ahead in the hand which is exactly what he does, the ten hits and and mikki bets and krish raises, Krish is hoping to get mikki off of the hand right here because he knows that if mikki calls this and the flush draw doesn’t come out then mikki is going to be pot committed on the river. The problem with this is mikki has to know with calling here he is going to be pot committed within reason to anything that’s potsize or less on the river as well if the flush doesn’t come and in this situation where you won’t value for them missing a flush draw mikki is also worried about the ace on the board, he doesn’t have top pair so he’s in a tough situation regardless and should have known he was beat on the river and should have assumed the guy has an ace or slow played a set and mikki like the donkey he is called this guys river bet even when if he didn’t have the straight he should have known he was beat.
Like he was hanging out with Jenni L.. She rubber necked me walking up the steps to the Rio back in 2011 with some other head. My only claim to poker fame. Lol
Mikki will go down in the history books for sure, Christ he's band from almost every place in las Vegas because he figured out how everyone cheats allowing him to dominate wherever he plays.
The dealer got a time chip from him after the hand. You can hear the dealer ask him for it. Once they say “5” it’s understood that if you don’t act you will give up a time chip. If you have no time chips left they kill the hand when the time is up.
