@@mr.personal-ity You bluff the person, not the hand. You can't take the cards out of the context and apply them to different poker players. That's not how bluffing works. Dwan clearly saw a line on Sammy in this hand and made a play. And he was right.
He's right, I saw this hand once a couple years ago and just scouted the RU-vid archives to find it again because I couldn't forget about how perfect Dwan played it. Impossible to recover from that if you're the other guy Lbvs
sammy mentioning how he would call instantly with a flush shows he's not in the same league. There's really no difference between a flush other than the nut flush and 2 pair at that point.
@@wen496 yeah but if he has the flush he cant have them blockers? Therefor a lot more to think about if you had the flush. If anything i think its a harder call if he had the flush rather than 2 pair.
I feel like A6 is a call since it blocks aces and sixes. Sammy can easily have a set-fullhouse in that situation so it's unlikely that Dwan bets that sizing with a flush. So the value combos Dwan can have are 3 combos of JJ, 1combo of AA, and 1 combo of 66, which are not enough to balance the broad range of bluffs Dwan has.
It's a clear call, yes. Seems like his opponent just spent all the time trying to get a physical tell rather than thinking through the hand. - Blocks AA and 66 - Dwan only has a full house there, he's not doing this with a flush - Unblock hearts, which is good given the above and the fact that he might be doing this with a heart - A6 is top of your range as pre-flop caller and so is a must-call to not be expoitable - Dwan is capable of ridiculous bluffs so he still has a lot of air there - Overbet sizing is bluff-heavy as you described - Speech play actually increases the chance he really does have 72
So I think what killed Sammy here was him repeatedly saying, "you don't have 72," almost telling dwan, "I'm certain you have a strong hand here." This reassurance gave Tom the green light to pull off such a monster bluff. Had Sammy not given tom that info, tom probably would have let Sammy win the hand early in the fears that he would expect the 72 later. Crazy how tiny bits of info can be so critical.
And you got a wealthy business owner / online playin nerd vs a real life poker Megalodon. It was hard to watch..Tom cleaned this guy up for around 750k. Sammy showed off how much money he had and how stupid he was in 1 sitting.
if you watch the full episode. durr and sammy are friends, and they had a 10k bet going on something to do with the 7,2 hand. and durr still announced it at the beginning. funny stuff
Dwan raises, Sammy calls. Flop comes down, Sammy checks, Dwan bets 10K, Sammy raises to 27K. Dwan calls. Scary call. What could Dwan have there that he is calling with? If he had an Ace surely he would reraise. That leaves two hands, a set, or a flopped flush that Durr is going to slowplay or a bluff. Sammy's plan? Check call from here on out. Durr knew it. Thats why he bet so huge on the river turning Sammy's check call plan into garbage and put him to a decision. Only a fish would call.
@saxed lol I always thought dwan never showed him the 7 2 cause he was affraid sammy may pass out.. but in the corner of the screen you can see the 7 2 slide across the table.. Thanks for pointing it out... that is the best part for sure
I think the Turn and river both being 3s helped his cause as obviously durrrr has a rep for being aggressive/loose. That means Sammy could have thought he was bluffing/overbetting but then hit trips on the river with a bad hand. I don't know though. Of course it is a incredible bluff but the board hits it so perfectly (considering he is trying to pick up the 7-2 10,000 bonus from the start) with the flush draw and potential trips that can make Sammy lay down his two pair.
A fascinating pot. Durrr crushes poor Sammy in this play, and Sammy shows his weaknesses as a player. Durrrr makes a great read on sammy and shows just how much gamble was in him. He knew it was a risky move, but thats what Dwan likes to do, and it seems time and time again hes right.
Its not a coincidence he made this bluff with 72. There is also a video of Phil Helmut pulling off a huge bluff wit 72, the worst hand. Even if he got called, this is great for building an image of reckless bluffer, wich can help him alot.
At the very end the commentators show the gap that Durrrr saw, but that particular clip was never shown in the original video. It was cut out, and we went straight to where Dwan shoved. Shows how much is missed and left on the cutting room floor.
Tom made an incredible c-bluff. Sammy had no chance to call on the river. With a possible flush, a full house and even quads out there Sammy's two pair weren't worth a penny anymore. The only thing he could beat was a pure bluff. So he had to lay it down. Just an amazing and brave play by Dwan. I don't wanna play that guy heads up lol
You know the probability of getting a flush on the flop, right? Is Dwan going all in with flush after board paired? I dont think so. Also hes blocking aces and sixes, he should have called.
This is why I never, ever factor in pre-flop bets when making decisions later on. They just don't matter and throw you off. It's also why I'm a wildman pre-flop: throws others off.
@ 9:15 - The hand postmortem is absolutely correct. Durrrr wins the psychological mind battle because chips are irrelevant to Durrrr, where his opponents are (blinded) beholden to their inherent value.
or a 3, or J6, or 66. There were a lot of hands he could have lost to. Even if he thought Dwan was bluffing from the start, he could have been bluffing with 63 and picked up a full house.
Its Poker tell 101 by daniel negreanu.... reverse... if your reaching for chips and the other player tries to say reach like he's ready to bet....then that is weakness....or strength.... dwan played it brilliantly.... he made sammy think that he does not have the 72 by announcing it before the pre flop raise!!! it drill into sammy until the end.... brilliant.....its just very brilliant..... it could have been the baddest call or the smartest call of the century!!!
Sammy was a wealthy amateur, he's not thinking on a level anywhere near close to Durrr's level. Once Durrr shoves, he's not thinking at all, he's just sitting there shitting his pants. Total mismatch, felt uncomfortable watching it
@joebaws1 Tom Dwans account name on full tilt is "Durrr" He chose it to put tilt on his opponent when they lose a hand to him. "durrrrrrrr" is a sound you make to someone to imply they're dumb.
While it's a tough call, it's definitley makeable call. He can't have JJ, AA or 66, because he'd re-raise to protect himself from a flush after being check raised. Having a 3 in his hand is unlikely considering the raise he made pre-flop. The only hand it would make sense to lose to is a small flush (possible 72h), even then it seems crazy to go all in given the board paired at the end. Durr would almost never get away with this play in a low stakes game.
A river overbet like that in that situation means either at least a FH or a bluff. Now this guy's truly thinking smart, he would know that Dwan knows he does not have a flush (or he would have check raised big on the turn). So, this means Dwan knows that his hand is weak enough to get bluffed off with a big bet and he wants to check/call the river. Could Dwan have a set on the flop? Yes, but likely? No, because he would prolly have reraised with 3 hearts on the flop to protect his hand.
