Too rich to g a f,,def a cool dude it seem

you'd rather he tilt and punt

@@kevinkennedy5076 not really. The one thing every poker player fails to realize is, there is more money to be made off the table. Make friends, network with people that have businesses and money, and make valuable connections. People should be happy at the table.

That’s how regs play too. Just balancing out your range to make you hard to play against. The upside/EV to playing crap holdings. When you pull off a gross bluff or flop some great cards, they think that you’re al title nuts. Remember that 7-5 off has about a 35% chance against AK.

@@elyastoohey6621 that's just raw equity of 75o. What is just as important, if not more important, is that it has very poor equity realization. Compared to its suited, more connected cousin (say 76s), you're more likely to end up with nothing more than a mediocre pair with no kicker, and no additional equity. You have no chance of getting a two-card flush and no chance of drawing to one. You are two times less likely to get an open ended straight draw due to gap, less likely to get a pair and a straight draw, and less likely to get a straight. It is a horrible hand, and there's no reason to "balance your range" with it.

@@ozrenbalic6051 There are trade offs to flying off the handle with a trash hand though You make it to showdown or show the bluff you become a lot harder to play against. I'm not syaing play this hand often. Im no high stakes pro. But you will see high stakes players use trash hands just for the fact that it widens their perceived range and makes them that bit harder to play against. now of course 7-6 and especially 7-6 suited is much more playable. Mathematically, 7-5 off is an auto muck. Pure EV. But trash hands do have the silver lining of disorientating your opponents. Most players should avoid it. But its something you once in a while see from top players. If you're playing on anonymous tables, low-md stakes, or you're relatively unknown, don't do it.

Hahahaha do you realize how crazy that statement is? Comparing Wes with Ivey/Dwan....Hahahahahaha

@@pinoypapapizza it wasn't directly comparing him to a player of dwans or ivey calibre, but he does play some random hands like them sometimes which helps he later. All I was saying

$4k is still $4k. thats a very nice dinner for g man

Are you high?

Not even close hahaha

Why would you even go play if your a cheap skate

But if you notice that as Wesley started to play everyday on Hustler, he started buying in for at least 100k minimum now.

@TheCryptoCrowsNest wes was right overplayed it

Yeah garret was at the bottom of his range. No two pair calls and he had the lowest set on board. Even a straight got there. Garret underestimated Wes and saw him as fish food. I love that Wes is going to upgrade gman to the next level

Yeah it's nice to see the "underdog" win sometimes plus his needles made the game entertaining (I was kinda surprised everyone was being a dick to him for his comments about handd even though I don't think wes knows our culture or live poker etiquette). I was so confused as to why gman bombed river, there's no way he was turning bottom set to a bluff. I guess everyone has an off day

@@boomroasted8337 yeah. It’s what happens when you misread your opponent. His true intentions showed and his friendliness with Wes was not out of respect but out of greed. I hope this incident doesn’t make garret bitter and ego driven because they can become good friends and rivals. Wes really shows the beauty of poker. Poker doesn’t care if you’re a pro or a n00b. It humbled everyone who doesn’t respect the game.

Pretty sure they did lol I shared the link below

Playing 4/28 commentating on 4/29.

:o

Yeah he bet way too big

you like it because it worked

bc AJ isnt a great hand... you can even gold AJo sometimes UTG

@@zyzzmirincomeatme nahh, i recognize that when u bet thin, occasionally u will value own yourself. Yet, a lot of people just wont do it cuz they afraid of variance

He's gonna cover the table

@@bentonja668 to match largest stack makes sense but to have 3 times next stack seems senseless. But he does get fish hooked quite a bit so by end of session he needs every penny most likely

You are giving the spot waaaaay too much thought, I think you're watching too many analysis videos. It was clearly a bet for value, and any doubt of that was removed after he confidently turned his cards over once called. You can't fake the body language confidence he had, turning his hand over and assuming it's the winner against something like 1010 or JJ. Wes is playing entirely on feel and intuition, with some classic gambler tendency to want action. This GTO merged range word salad is not something that applies to him.

Why would he think that Tiger can't have a 6? Tiger is playing from the third blind (UTG straddle). He has more sixes and more two pairs on that board than he would from any other position. Like many of Wesley's bets this one was poorly thought out. Not only because the third blind likely has him beat on this board, but also because even if he is ahead, he is giving Tiger a chance to check-raise bluff him on the river and put him in a very difficult spot.

@@jakecooper5855 the fact that Wesley genuinely thinks that this is a good spot to overbet the pot for value, with KK, against a third blind who just flatted preflop, shows that he has no understanding of the game at all.

@@ozrenbalic6051 Hes just some rich kid from China who can throw away millions. People are over thinking it. Ive seen him play so many hands terribly.

@@ozrenbalic6051 I assume this is meant to be agreeing with my point.. He's a terrible player

I think he will last just fine. It takes a very good mind to protect your crypto winnings into the millions / billions. Wes gives off appearance as if he is some wealth fund kid but running up 7,400 to 200k takes more than luck

@@dummyburn611 it really doesnt take more than luck once you have a decent understanding of the fundamentals of the game and basic understanding of odds and ranges. even if he were a dope he still wouldve ended up +100k on the night

@@liambarron9772 I disagree with this but I get your point. There’s a certain type of success that people share beyond fundamental understanding. I’m just saying there’s probably a general view that Wesley is some rich Dan blizarian, when he is really a thinking player. He might be a novice vs a grandmaster but the fact he can play at this level with a few months learning the game has merit on its own. Also, when he discusses strategy, it shows he understand a decent surface level of the game. Sure it might not be on the solver level of combo draws and ev of ranges but I think his success in accumulating wealth in crypto will push him towards success in poker as well. Success in one field generally has characteristics that leak into other areas.

@@dummyburn611 im not saying he cant get good, im just saying i highly doubt he's playing +ev poker (as of today) against stacked lineups with guys like garrett adelstein.

@@liambarron9772 I completely agree with you. I’m just not trying to throw the baby out with the bath water. I’m respecting Wes’s growth but his time will come too. Poker humbles everyone and he does not have the volume to understand what he knows is only a droplet in the ocean. I am waiting for him to get tested and to see if he succumbs but given his bankroll is so high, he has a better shot of making it through than most of us.

Not even trying to be a dick but this channel is what made you start to realize it's a game of a ton of luck? What was different from other poker shows that made you think differently? Honest question

@@seankiesling2054 Live experiences all over the country. different levels all over. usually its just high stakes crap but this channel gives a nice variety.

@@rigbyyourewrong3445 there’s obviously a major luck element involved, which is great because that’s what keeps the bad players coming back. There are still ever evolving strategies to use that put yourself in the best position to win. Over the long run the luck balances out, leaving the best strategies with the profit.

…..ummm….what??? How does more people sending more children to a system that is already overcrowded and “underfunded” (thanks unions) help the situation?

@@jacobbirkenfeld9261 You expect me to engage you in an internet debate? You can Google the same issue points I can, so what's the point in going back and forth in a RU-vid comment section. That's weird. ✌🏿

The public school system is a travesty

I typed out a long paragraph about the state of the public school system but youtube is automatically deleting my comments. I didn't even swear, just my perspective as a 2008 graduate. Idk what word is triggering the auto-delete but this is crazy that we can't even express opinion on this platform

All I will say is - if you watch the hundreds of videos of "woke" teachers on tik tok (or youtube compilations) you'll be terrified to leave your kids alone with these people

I think he made that comment because he was talking about the tournament tipping situation, he didn't want to come off as someone that doesn't tip dealers.

@@OneCheezyPizza ya except the answer to that is… “if gratuity is included in buy in then no you shouldn’t have to tip, but if it’s not included, I always tip.” Not, “and I’m a big tipper…” you understand the difference? So since whenever I play a tournament where gratuity is inc in the buy in, when I cash I still tip additionally, should I consider myself a “big tipper?” Bc I’ve never considered myself that when doing it. Understand the relative nature of it?

Well Bart is on the spectrum... he lacks a little bit of self awareness/social cues. When he said that I just closed my eyes, digested it...and moved on

@@seankiesling2054 i reacted the same way hahaha

He’s still inexperienced. They will improve too
