+rd711 if you watched the full thing Laak really was running that hot, it was pretty hilarious. And he continues to run hot pretty much up until the final table, he won 3/4 heats.
Love how Hellmuth is like “he just has to fold, nothing else to it” when Luke is talking at the end, as if Hellmuth wouldn’t blow every gasket in his brain if he were the one with QQ
In fairness I seriously dislike Luke at some moments and really love him in others. I like the fact that he is not only slagging Phil off, his bad luck but also himself for making donk size bet on the river
@@mgecko2959So many comments on here hating on Luke and he honestly was pretty great to diagnose what was going on. I’m really not sure why so many ppl hate him on here but I have a distinct feeling that a lot of it is bc he is not from the U.S. Which tells you all you need to know how pretentious and shitty our country is
V-CHIP, or VPIP, stands for "voluntarily put in pot" and is basically your calls and raises pre-flop, and steal attempts is when you raise from the BUTTON, CUT OFF, or SMALL BLIND when action is folded to you. They are stats to help you understand how aggressive someone is, also giving you an idea of their hand range. Very useful stats IMO...
Love hearing Hellmuth say 'He knows he's beat here, he just has to make the tough laydown and thats all there is to it'. He should cut that sound clip out of this video, buy a pair of Dr. Dre Beatz and blast that on a loop every time he plays poker from now on.
I dislike Schwartz, but what a great read. As soon as Laak shoved Luke said you flopped a full house on me again. I think if I were Laak, I wouldn't have showed him. I'd want Schwartz fretting next hand I'm playing him one on one. Luke is a great player, but sometimes he can get put off his game, and this would have been a great chance to keep him guessing till the break, potentially putting Schwartz off his game. That been said Laak has made millions and I can barely win a weekly game at my local pub, so he clearly knows a lot more than me lol. Great hand between two greats.
haha this is probley my favourite tv tourni of all time so many sick hands, great bluffs and unbeliveable laydowns and luke schwartz was usually right in the thick of them.
Gota love Phil H's sense of humor... "He does remind me a bit of my self" "wait a minute, theres a european Helmuth?" Its absolutly like watching Phil Helmuth having one of his tantrums :D
he has the hand that isnt aces, so ostensibly...he has aces. obviously he doesnt have kings. so its either aa,qq, or zilch. he basically has aces here.
@@mikecantreed Newbie here. So the way Schwartz is using the term "aces" means not only literally aces AA, but also KK and QQ? And JJ would not be called "aces", right? Is this a British thing because I haven't heard "Aces" used to mean anything other than AA.
@Howard Roark Then "like" my comment so that it gets pushed up and seen when people view this video!! Just kidding. I don't care. I mean, I'd like top know the answer but... I guess I have bigger issues to address in trying to learn this complicated game.
People who chew gum were never properly weaned as a child. I played against a player just like this in Vegas recently. I shoved, he called. He had a set of kings, I had ace-queen, turn is a jack, and on the river, I hit a 10 hitting the gut-shot Broadway. I thought he was going to implode. In another hand, same situation as this; I was the short stack and flopped a full boat 3s/ks to his set. He's probably still having nightmares about the losses. But, to see him whine and lose was precious. "HE KEEPS HITTING THE FLOPS!! I've never seen such luck!" (implying I was cheating). I replied, "Dude, come on. I got no long sleeves. And nobody would hold a king/three." He just couldn't handle it.
hellmuth is one of the best tourny players. his problem is his ego, if he didnt have his egotistical mentality he would be as loveable as he is here doing commentary.
K7 offsuit is about 30% odds of beating QQ if you put the money in preflop. Schwarz is mad because calling any raises with K7 offsuit preflop is bad play, Laak was lucky his odds were that good, against most other hands Schwartz could have there he would be miles behind (AK for example crushes K7). Schwartz then made his bad luck even worse by betting too big on the river, you decide whether to call or not mostly based on pot odds (amount you have to pay vs amount you will win, and how often you will win in that spot to make the call worthwhile). Because Schwartz bet too big he was getting extremely good odds to call, but he knows Laak knows that, so he also knows Laak wouldn't have made the bet unless he was certain he had him beat and has to fold even though he's getting a good price to call. The rant is mostly because Laak is playing badly but because he's hitting his cards he still wins anyway 😬.
I've played enough poker to know there is one important rule that trumps all others- ask yourself "what is he calling with?" With that board I have a hard time thinking what worse hands than queens are calling? Another pocket pair I guess is it really
I think my favorite part is that he goes off on a rant and lies about what he was holding. Any King had him beat (even if he *did* have pocket aces) he gets outplayed, and makes the correct fold on the river. Boo friggin' hoo.
+Elpapa Delarubia Timoshenko folded Q♧9♡ so yes Hellmuth was correct on Laak having him drawing dead. I need to see everything before making my comment.
