Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by Ansky (High Stakes)

Was hoping you post a DC short to this hand like 2 hours ago
Sometimes I think I could set something on fire by the power of my mind when I concentrate hard enough.

Feels good

Man this was like the best episode of High Stakes Poker ever. Great vid too!

Video for reference.

What's the worst hand durrrr should call with on the river if Ivey shoves? Seems like a tough spot with most of his range.

Ah, the good old days. *tear*

Sweet video Dani.

edit: lol @ "hand recently played"

thx for ur work here Dani, really appreciate it. Hope to see more/longer vids form you in the future =)

Ansky,

From a Game Theory perspective, doesn't Durrrr pretty much HAVE to empty the clip on this river?

I can't really imagine him getting to the river in this spot with a lot of bluffs, so for balance's sake, if he doesn't fire the river in this spot on a bluff, when else is he bluffing?

Is this logic coherent?

I pretty much agree.

curious about this too

me too

There isn't a definitive right answer. A better question is what is Ivey's value shoving range, and how should durrrr react to that with his range.

Theres a good chance Ivey's river raising range is J9+, or bluffs, so Tom can't necessarily always call even with something like KQ. He'd be getting a decent price though. I can post more about this tomorrow, going to bed now.

Hey Dani,

Great analysis, thanks. BTW, you were correct when you said Phil was considering shoving the river earlier, then ended up just tanking about calling. The problem for Phil was rivering a pair -- he decided he was going to jam the river when he called the turn, but didn't count on spiking a 6. Because he did, he hesitated about shoving and had to introduce the idea of calling into his thought process. Once he hesitated, he realized jamming would smell too fishy, so now he was forced into choosing between fold and call. According to Phil, rivering the pair is what lost him the pot.
