Great analysis! In particular, it was really interesting to hear you break down her thought-process step by step. There are many factors I would have totally missed. By the way, she seems to be a great player indeed... whatever some other youtuber with a similar haircut might say.

@UnconventionalReasoning 8 месяцев назад

Selbst's heart said fold, her head said call. It is much easier to listen to our heart, Vanessa is disciplined enough to listen to her head.

@skyeangelofdeath7363 8 месяцев назад

Very nice analysis. The only thing I'd add is that Selbst knows Baumann is a bit of a "rock". That really helps make folding possible. In a weirdly funny theoretical situation; if Selbst was playing her "clone" as in against herself, then it's never possible to fold. After all, she has the absolute best possible hand she can ever arrive with at the river here.

@christiang5209 4 месяца назад

The explanation of her is most likely also a way to aquire information. I mean Baumann bqsically knows selbst have AA, is she now uncomfortable or happy? Many (top) poker player do this, or throwing hands in to get a range - especially when it is just about calling or folding. Negreanu often guesses the hands of the opposition, but he is also off a lot but he gets over or under with such estimations.

Vanessa is one of those players I typically like to pile-on, but kudos to her in this spot. Not only did she come within a frog-hair of making an unbelievably good fold in a spot where it's almost unthinkable, when she received the bad news, she handled it as gracefully as I've seen.

@Funktaro5 4 месяца назад

To be honest, a huge part of the reason Selbst even has a decision here is because it's the Main Event. If this is a cash game that isn't super deep stacked Baumann is shoving 75, 55 and almost certainly a king high flush as well, and possibly some bluffs if she's really elite to maintain some balance. (i.e. the naked Kc). There's not many boats in Vanessa's range, and you can definitely hope to be called by AxKc, 7x or lower flushes. In this exact spot, with pros valuing their Main Event lives so highly, all of that disappears, and even A7 becomes a "maybe she wouldn't shove it" spot. Which changes things entirely. In over 99 out of 100 spots, if someone tanks here with AA it'd be incredibly obnoxious because they're almost always winning. This isn't one of those times though.

Especially at the main event against the only other pro at the table. But also not in cash games. Yes, if the hand was played a bit faster preflop and on the flop there is a possibility, but not with this action and this way of building the pot at the main event with the only 2 pro's on the table battling eachother. Against a overbet check-raise on the turn and an overbet river raise a flush is nothing more than a bluff catcher.

@alistairwillock7266 8 месяцев назад

@@yoitsdanFor the reasons that Phil covered in this video, this isn't a GTO spot. Both players have such huge edges over the majority of the field, and start the hand with so much stack depth, that they _need_ to deviate to maximize their ROI in the tournament. Once Baumann takes 2/3rds-pot sizing on the turn, and then Selbt c/rs 3.5x and then _overbets_ on the river, Baumann has zero bluffs as played. The key difference of opinion that I have with both Selbst and Phil himself here is that - in this spot - I don't believe that Baumann _ever_ jams A7hh. Why? Because Baumann would have known that Selbst has the same disincentives to stack off as Baumann herself. Therefore a shove by A7hh would only be called by better. A7hh is a pure call once Selbst takes the c/r-turn-overbet-river line. And if Selbst had been able to realize just _how_ unbalanced Baumann _has_ to be in that spot, I think she could still have found the fold. Crazy though it may be to say, I don't think that Selbst is good in that spot basically ever. Certainly less than 1-in-10, and likely less than 1-in-20. Along with the future value of, you know, _staying alive in the Main Event_ ... This is a pure fold. And no, I couldn't have made that fold either. I'd have made the same rationalizations that Selbst did and stacked off too 🤣

50% chance to win, so it was a good call. But maybe, if A7hh vs overbet only calls thinking “im playing vs AA, A7 and 55. And 55 would fold, so if a shove im only getting called losing or drawing”, so if this is the case she can fold AA. But its too hard i think.

Great video Phil. Please, please can someone explain to me the second point in the end. The one about slow-playing quads. I still don't understand why Baumann should have played it the way she did, and not slowplay them.

@DMTsmoke 8 месяцев назад

If you happen to have quads against a flush, you want to try and get value here. If Vanessa had a flush other than Kx of clubs, for example, a club on the river could potentially kill your action. When Vanessa comes over the top however, a flat call is the optimal play. Vanessa's raise tends to polarize her range between bluffs and full houses. If she has a full house, she will almost certainly bet her hand again on the river. If you were to raise here on the turn, you probably won't affect the final outcome much if she has the goods. However, if she is bluffing, you could potentially show strength and provide her with an opportunity to fold when your optimal move is to allow her to take another stab at it. As such, there may be more downside in raising vs calling on the turn.

@camilloneverfolds 7 месяцев назад

I think you need to play a lot of live poker to feel as sick as Vanessa did immediately after getting shoved on the river. I've seen many coolers where there might be a slight hesitation from someone in Vanessa's spot, followed by a rather quick call. Like you mentioned, huge props to Vanessa for even taking the time she did to rewind the hand and check the suits to make the decision. Although nearly every fiber in her body is screaming fold, there's always that spaz factor to keep in mind, or the A7hh combo. When I get coolered, I try and think to myself, "this is why we have a bankroll." Thanks for the break down!

@kirblar 4 месяца назад

Additionally she's just out of chips if she folds now. It's why even though her intuition is screaming to fold she can't do it because folding all but takes her out minus some incredibly good luck in the next few rounds of hands.

@justmusic2353 8 месяцев назад

Yea it takes some work to figure it out but you can after watching the full video. If you look pre-flop, it shows J8 in the bb had to call 250 to see the flop facing a 400 raise so the bb is 150 chips. At the end of the hand they put in 36000 chips on the river and approximately 7000 chips from pre till river so they were around 42000 chips deep, around 280bb.

@user-fi5tl3bu9u 8 месяцев назад

Also A7 suited isn’t necessarily a flat call on the button preflop. I think a lot of good players fold or three bet that hand, but I could be wrong

@catheywang2574 8 месяцев назад

yeah gaelle said she probably just flats A7s because Vanessa's line is very strong, and it makes sense. If you have A7s what are you getting called by? I don't think Vanessa calls 55 at all, and 75s is obv not in that EP range, so it's just chopping the other A7s and losing to AA? (Note here A7s would actually be an easier call than AA since Gaelle can't have AA) so yeah A7s might just flat. But that's after some thought, in the moment it might be different. There has definitely been times when I value owned myself and realized afterwards what value was I really targetting? Also A7s flatting button there is pretty standard, I disagree with 3bet or fold. There's definitely no fold, and I don't really want to 3bet either. It's definitely not for value, and there's no need to isolate, also the equity of this hand is good enough to see the flop in position. Not to mention Vanessa's one of the biggest names in the tournament, you might just want to take it easy day 1 level 2

Great breakdown. I think Ms. Selbst's reaction shows she realized her mistake: as pointed out it was early in the tournament so keeping chips (and staying in) are even more valuable. When Ms. Baumann represented A7 or 77, while its true it's 50% either way, at this early stage Ms. Selbst should have biased more to Ms. Baumann having the stronger possibility. In other words, the right read but the wrong play for the time.

@felixaquila9701 7 месяцев назад

@RobertDeMartin 3 месяца назад

My take away goes like this and I hope you take this the right way. I like your style and you really know the game. I mean that. BUT, Phil, this was perhaps one of the greatest hands of all time. Can you imagine the treat it would be for someone to see this hand played out? And, I'll tell you, even for people like me who had seen the original video before we would still be excited watching the event particularly when Vanessa had to get out of her chair for a moment. My point is, when there are great moments you want to share with us and explain to us what is going on, OR, what has happened, if there is nothing stopping you from doing it, show us the play as it actually occurred so we can feel the excitement and enjoy it AND THEN YOU CAN BREAK IT DOWN AND I WOULD VERY MUCH WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY. But, to me, the thrill of the moment was lost. It was like listening to a wonderful artist sing a beautiful song and a reactor interrupted it so many times it spoiled the whole affect the singer's performance could have had on the audience listening. Was timing a factor? Was using the original commentators a problem? Or maybe running the whole segment would need approval? I know you did a lot of editing in your video and I know this was a labor of love for you. If all systems were go, I think this video would be spectacular because after the play was over I would be VERY INTERESTED in your analysis of what happened.

Even pros probably cannot play enough large field multi day tournaments in their entire lives to reach a high probability of equilibrium.
