Hand from deep in GUKPT Reading this weekend. Favourite hand I have ever played live.

I knew what was gonna happen on the river, but the 10 minute tank, the live-pro staredown, then the tilted storm-off was so worth it hahaha. Nice hand mate.

Had he folded in a minute I would have just mucked it, but he properly made me sweat aha. Just had to show after that. The guy in that hand is actually pretty decent and a very sound guy too, so I made up for the show by getting him a beer at break.
Was really happy with that hand though, first time I have pulled the trigger in a spot that was for fucking heaps like that.

What do you think made him take so long to fold? The check on the turn?
1
Because he knew he was so obviously capped and that he thought that I was capable of having bluffs here, where as most people just aren't capable and always have it in that spot.
I wouldn't bet the river as him vs me because of this exact scenario occurring sometimes, but credit to him for thinking that long and nearly finding the call. One of the most impressive live only players I have ever played with for sure.

Only thing I'm impressed by is the jacket. Where can I get one of those?
ps. Nice play. Would've been sicker if you were in the other guys shoes and made the call.

He nearly did too, went back and forwards for ages. Was ready to tell him 'Nice hand, good call' but thankfully he eventually chucked it away. He said that everytime he calls that spot people just have it, but also that he thought I was good enough to have bluffs. Was a pretty horrendous spot for him.

Absolutely. People are so rarely bluffing in that spot, and that's why a raise there makes it so nutted. He did have the 10 blocker which is why I'm sure he was so close to calling. I mean, do you go all in with sets there. I suppose. What about KJ which is a possibility. You never have 810 there. And he does block a K for 2 pair and the 10 for the straight. But it's such a great spot for that bluff because him folding leaves him with enough of a stack to build it back up again.

I think his play for this hand is reasonable tbh.

Time stamp? Sorry am on mobile

Nice hand! Kassouff on the commentary as well?

Great hand. How would you have played if the roles were reversed? From the KT point of view doesn't the hand play better as a check/bet/check? Don't see many hands you can reliably get two streets of value from on this runout.

TLDW: Get rekt.
Edit: Would suggest skipping through in 20-30 second intervals until like 10 mins in, was a very long hand lol. Was properly made to sweat but Jesus it felt good to show after being put through that.
ggwp, but is qts an open and call 3b given positions? Whatd you reckon his bu 3b range is?
He was actually very decent as live regs go, and had seen him use good combos as light 3bs in other spots. Also, wasn't really shown on the stream well but the original peel was a misclick, he didn't see my open so thought he was opening himself. Therefore, I thought he would squeeze a wider range. Would peel all suited broadways there I think given that and how deep we are and that I thought I would be able to manoeuvre post flop pretty well too.
Also, wasn't really trying to exclusively rep QTs. Would also play 55, 99, JJ, J9s and KJs the same way. Bluff combos are QJs of backdoor FD/JTs of backdoor FD/T9s, which may be me over bluffing but I also thought I would get overfolds.
Also, the really sick thing, and this might be analysing too much after the fact, but I think I would play AK the same way too and jam to try and freeroll vs his range.
Yeah def all sets are in range, but I wonder how you/one should split range on river between b and x/j. Seems interesting if we think he can 3b sqz light as he's more likely to showdown on this texture by riv than to have to bluff/bet thin. Well....actually thats totally debatable. Realllly depends on a guess of his range. Given he's solid I suppose we can x/j more often, but I wonder in his eyes what bluff combos do we have an again at what frq?
I do think the very few combos of AK we have that flat the 3b pre would make sexy x/j on riv
Would flat all AK pre actually. This is very much an MTT thing, but 4b/c here is pretty bad given how soft this tourney was and how good the structure was. Would 4b AA-QQ, and 4b bluff a bunch of AJo I think.
