- Nik Airball could have his own highlight reel with his crazy plays, big pots, and outlandish celebrations. In this hand on Hustler Casino Live, Nik decides to blast away in the penultimate hand of the night against Pepe, who was already down over $300,000. How do you think this will go?
When deciding to raise from out of position against limpers, it's advised to have a linear range. A linear range is one that contains strong, medium-strength and weak hands. It is also often referred to as a merged or condensed range. This means raising strong hands and those that could connect well with the flop, like broadways and suited connectors. Since opponents in position are likely to call, choosing hands that will have good board coverage is important to keep your range balanced.
Nik Airball is an investment banker and an amateur poker player, he occasionally plays at The Lodge Card Club but mainly plays on the Hustler Casino Live poker stream. He will play any stakes, and is often involved in heated table talk with the other poker players. Nik Airball is almost fluent in Mandarin, engaging in table talk with many Mandarin-speaking poker players. He often voices his strong opinions about current trends, topics and scandals in the poker world on social media and poker podcasts.
Pepe is introduced as a music producer and has appeared a few times on the poker stream playing up to $200/$400.

🔍Preflop:
With the $400 straddle on, Pepe kicks off the action with a limp from the cutoff with Q9 of diamonds. Raymond calls from the big blind with pocket sevens, while French poker vlogger Yoh Viral calls from the third blind with 87o. Nik Airball decides to raise to $3,000 with T9o from the under-the-gun straddle. Pepe calls the raise with his suited two-gapper, and Raymond calls with his medium pocket pair. Yoh Viral folds, and they head to the flop three-way.
💸Flop - Ks Qc 2s:
It's a terrible flop for Raymond’s pocket sevens as two broadway overcards appear. After Raymond checks, Nik Airball fires out a continuation bet for $6,000 with his gutshot straight draw. Pepe calls with his second pair before Raymond correctly throws his cards into the muck, and they now head to the turn heads-up.
💣Turn - 3h:
The 3 of hearts on the turn doesn’t bring in the flush or any straight draws. It also does not improve Nik Airball’s poker hand, but that doesn’t slow him down as he keeps up the aggression and fires an overbet of $30,000. The turn does not change Pepe’s pair of queens either, but his intuition is correct as he throws out the call to see a river card.
🌊River - 4s:
The river is the 4 of spades, bringing in the front door flush. Nik Airball totally whiffs his gutshot straight and is left with just ten-high and a flush blocker. He isn’t going to give up; instead, he announces all in for the rest of Pepe’s $146,875, another massive overbet compared to the size of the pot. Pepe agonizes over this tough decision with just second pair against a hyper aggressive poker player. What does he eventually do? You'll have to watch this poker video to find out if he calls or folds!

How do YOU feel about Nik Airball? 😅
KING OF LA BABY
🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠
How do I feel about him? I don’t.
Why is he playing poker in the first place
Hes just how he looks - a DOG
"If you consider Nick Airball's range"... that made me LOL. Airball's range is the entire deck in any position.
His range is multi multi millionaire parents
😂😂😂😂
Nik Airball is a donk. If you get into a hand with him deep stacked you have to have a high pain threshhold and be prepared to make hero calls against him when his betting line doesn't make sense. The interesting part in this hand is that Pepe makes donk hero calls all the time too so it was interesting to see him fold here.
he was stuck 300k and didnt want to be stuck 500k.
Limp call Q9s against a well known super aggro beluga pre. Call second pair shit kicker on the flop multiway, continue calling down on the turn facing an overbet. This dude is asking for trouble and whatever he does on the river is meaningless because of the massive blunders made on each and every street before getting there.
IMO, at this level of play, if the villain is going to overbet the pot on the turn you can be pretty sure he's gonna jam the river. And that being likely true, the time to fold second pair was on the turn -- fold, or jam yourself (IMO, what used to be a pretty stand Phil Ivey or Tom Dwan play).
I agree with this.
You are either way ahead or way behind.
Overbet OOP is supposed to be a polarizing action, but i think Nik does it more merged than he should.
@@jeffshackleford3152that's astute, if Nik airball is overbetting a rag King or Q then this makes the prospect of calling turn with Pepe's hand even more bad
@@GokuTheSuperSaiyan1 maybe, I think Nik airball is over bluffing in 97% of nodes, especially when he doesn't filter his range.
So I think you just have to click call and ride the pain train.
@@GokuTheSuperSaiyan1vegeta is better btw
To answer Jonathan's question
I'd be more inclined to value bet a tilted losing player rather than bluff them, tilted players don't always think things out straight, however if you can sense weakness, frustration and a lack of confidence in the losing player then sure bluff away
He's terrible, just has some random access to unlimited bankroll not built through poker
cope
Good for the game
What a beautiful thing
There's no poker ecosystem without fish to eat ( my realization at online 5 NL on Pokerstars ).
There's fish, and stinky fish. Nik's the later. Bahahaha
A good discussion would be "when players view money differently". Do you get involved in hands with players like Airball who doesn't seem to care if he loses money when money is valuable to you?
And how do you play players who try to bully you with huge bets. There's the famous hand where Perrson bullied JRB out of a call because it was such a huge bet.
Do you even get in games where you can't risk your entire stack?
if losing one(!) buy-in hurts, you in the wrong game
It depends on the player. If I know the player will play tighter when stuck, I would shove. If they will call everything when they are stuck, I would check and give up. Love the content and training site. Been learning a lot. Thanks
Couldn't help but notice he didn't quit after
I have noticed a tell for airball. whenever he's bluffing for large amounts of cash he puts his head down on the table.
Another one is that each time he's bluffing, one of his hair is flying away
I think Nik may be over bluffing most nodes.
Unfortunately that means that i would likely have to call.
I don't think Mr. Airball has filtered his range at all, so he is very likely to be over bluffing especially from the straddle, which is the widest position, even with a 3 bet.
As i understand more dead money = more aggressive actions, so Airball is extremely incentivized to 3 bet, almost any 2.
Perfect hand to jam river. Notice he looked back at his cards to see if he had the 10 of spades. He blocks J10 spades which would have straight and flush draw on the flop, A10 spades, 10 9 spades etc. only reason he jammed.
Does Airball ever cocoon like that when he's actually strong? I've only seen that when he bluffs big.
Usually if they want a call they don't call the clock
Would be curious what value hands airball should or would have with this line? Does A5 or 65 do this? Or is it only flushes and air?
Flush or air
I believe if one even ends up with A5s or 65s here then one can jam as well; - you do not get away from those hands anyways, and at such loose tables you may probably get enough calls from weaker hands than a flush.
@@Badbentham I doubt a straight almost 2 times pot jams the river would go for more reasonable value bet no?
@@jacobgoldman5780I think his bluff combos way outweigh value, especially with zero post flop filtering.
I feel it is player dependent bc like you said in video people can get desperate but some shell up. So the desperate type you want value and the shell type you can blast off like nik did here. it’s about what losing does to there Tilt.Also if you can sniff out too if they are bankrolled for game bc that can cause people to show up or become super gambly depending the player.
You have to have a proper bankroll vs him
I’ve been playing since 1997. SF Bay Area. 15,000 hours maybe? It’s important to recognize when you at Bay 101 and the dude worth 100mil and doesn’t care. Same here. He doesn’t care, it’s clearly either not his money or he’s insanely wealthy. Good Times and note to self: do have the bankroll to play with a rich fool?
Do u have any videos discussing why the players play so different in these big games compared to what is recommended by you and other coaches for small stakes games?
Your question primarily relates to a difference of streamed (publicly broadcasted) play versus non-broadcasted games. While they may both be NLHE poker, they have decidedly different factors/motivators in play. A big part of broadcasted gameplay is advertising by players who are seeking to get invited to private cash games. Particularly, high stakes games. Show that you're willing and able to play on the loose side, and maybe you'll get an invite. Also, it's for players who like attention and want to drive viewers over to their you tube, tik tok or other site. Textbook play is more applicable for low/mid stakes, non-broadcasted games. In these games (say a 1/2 at your local cardroom), you can play very straightforward...per all the best-practices suggested by your favorite poker guru. You can even play tight to the point of being labeled a nit. For streamed games, you can't do that. Well, I mean, you can do that. But do it more than a couple times and you can rest assured you won't get invited back. That's true even for the smaller stake games. Broadcasted shows want lots of drama. "Quality," textbook play for hours on end isn't a great recipe for getting people to tune in.
Both of these dudes have a poker budget instead of a poker bankroll. Any even half way good poker coach is going to tell you how to play against players like this rather than how to play like them.
Nik is a multimillionaire, from outside poker. The money doesn’t matter to him, he can make any play he feels like lol
Why does pocket 7s have 0% equity on the flop?
that bass drop at nik doing the 2x beat was a nice touch
If he had the flush, he would have wanted a call and bet low so he could get value but his overbet was suspicious. It's nik airball. I like showing the bluff too. Seriously tilted him😅😊😂😢
He's not going all in if he's got to flush, he's making a value bet he's got the flush
I love the over analyzing when you can see their cards on a REPLAY
Why is Raymond’s hand showing zero equity after the flop?
RFID accounts for cards folded, so two 7’s must have been folded preflop
Probably calls if the river isn't a spade.
Facing Nick specifically wouldn’t it make sense to over-fold the flop, then call down more on turn and river? Knowing he is over-bluffing on all streets?
Why even call flop, knowing you are probably going to have to fold?
Give him the small pots and take down the huge ones?
Pepe had -300k before this hand as mentioned, he was trying to drill a queen or a 9 and when the river doesn't show that, he folded he didn't call to bluff-catch he called to try to get a bad beat from the other player, we know it's stupid but that's the mind of someone who is in deep loss in cash games
@@catbuikhang6482 but, does ha have the odds, considering he could still not be good sometimes? Nick will show up beating that some, so you don’t have fully clean outs.
@@MelFinehout When someone is in deep loss in a session they no longer care about anything else, pot odds, outs, they just want an opportunity to win back the money they lost
At some point, if you are in too much loss you became a gambler, not a poker player, which is why pot odds, equities and outs no longer matter, because they do not matter to a gambler, they only matter to a poker player which is also why professionals quit before they reach such a loss and come back another day, to prevent themselves to become gamblers
@@catbuikhang6482 I know. But, that wasn’t my question.
My question was about the right strategy against someone like Nick.
@@MelFinehout Ah crap I misread you I'm sorry
I am by no mean a professional, especially this is Mr.Jonathan's channel I might look stupid saying things that out-leveled myself
But if you ask me, then why don't just stick to a nit/pasive or TAG playstyle?
If you are up against someone who play big pots with literally all possible combos, then why don't give yourself an edge with a smaller range?
Yeah sometimes he got you, but you should be winning most of the time to make up for it, I remember a hand in which Doug Polk folded Kings in the river with Nik, he bluffed but Doug has all the reasons to fold so he did, but that is my point, if you just blind call him with good hands (top pair good kicker above) odds are, after 100 hands you should be in profit not loss with him
Again, I might not know what the hell that I am talking about, I am by no mean a mentor so just hope that it is helpful to some degree
Andy's smirk lol
That dude would have gotten snapped on the river by certain nosebleed high stakes regs...just not any one of them named Pepe, lol
There should be a name for the types of bets Nik Airball makes when he has no equity
An Airball.
You beat me to it Frank! 😅
Airball should NEVER be allowed to call clocknon ANYONE after his 26 min tank at the Lodge. Shame on his game
I've only seen him call clock when he's bluffing, so I would be happy to have him do it.
I’m sorry with Q9 I’m folding after the flop. But I’m sure being stuck had a lot to do with calling there
You can't fold on the flop with 2nd pair....especially vs Nick in this situation. He C-bets his entire range on that flop 100% of the time with any 2 cards. If you're going to fold 2nd pair it's on the turn. To be honest....if you're willing to call a raise preflop with Q9 then immediately fold to one bet with 2nd pair on the flop you're not very good. With all do respect
I'd be interested to know who finances Airball's bankroll. Money isn't filtered through gambling establishments only for people who are gambling.
When Nik Airball asks for a clock and puts his head down 80% of the time is a bluff. None of his betting made any sense.
Pepe just snapped called, just do it again.
He repped a strong hand or draw AK gets there on flop flush draw gets there and A5 gets there as well as Kx
Pepe can't call that polarized bet.
He only has a bluff catcher. 4 of spades was a good card to bluff on
Yeah Airball is a Punter. He's generally bad
His play in this hand was good.
What hand is Pepe beating
Airball took the lead with preflop raise. Likely high cards. That flopped
NIK AIRBALL IS INSANE
More likely to bluff them..they see evey hand hat can beat them and usually fold.
Seriously, right? Like… I could see them maybe being more aggressive sometimes, but that would only apply if they can actually raise on the river
If I’m already all-in, they can’t use aggression to bluff me any more. Now they’re just worried about all the hands that got there, and the fact that I’m not folding
Pepe played the hand all wrong. Knowing who the player is and its nik airball. You can be sure your hand is the best 90% of the time even if it's just high card. Airball raises and bets on every street, if you think hes full of shit when he bets the turn 3 of hearts. Why would you ever fold a river all in ( and then the biggest mouth on the table goes into witness protection?) from this notorious bluffing idiot. The bet says I don't want a call so bad, If he had anything he would have bet something you could call. So many tells both physical and psychological.
As far as whether or not your more likely to bluff a losing player over a winning player, I think its logical as the losing player has his loses hanging over his head not wanting to make them worse. But even then to me bluffing is highly situational and not something you should just be doing because of another players bank roll situation.
I think if a player is still sitting atound the table down 300k they arent there for a reason, defo not betting.
Only gamblers go deep stack with second pair.
against nik id call every time
I feel like every time I watch this stream I get worse at poker
3:55 why is the turn card "good" for Pepe? I don't have range charts by position but... I doubt that 3's are in late position's range? *confused face*
It misses both ranges but would lean toward the late positions range rather than opener
because it's not an ace and not a flush card.
@@OneEyedJack01seems really meaningless. From Pepe's perspective Nik has a King.
AJ, A10,J10, 9 10 suited, flush draws all missed the turn. All reasonable hands to 3 bet the flop. You’re not worried about K3,Q3,23. And it hits a late position call more than nick.
@@Yodababiethe 3 is a brick on the turn. It's not something that I'd call "really good" it's a *whatever* card. Trip Queens would be "really good".
People 3-bet bluff with air all the time, that's the real problem in this hand.
The turn doesn't change the fact that Nik could have AK, AQ, KQ, KJ connectors ( J10, 10 9, 98, 87, 76 ). Remove the Queen combos ( since Pepe has a blocker ) an it's AK, KJ, suited connectors or 72 offsuit.
People will 3-bet bluff baby pairs in 5 NL ( 22, 33, 44 ) and play them like they have Aces in their hand ( which is really annoying ).
How do you say nic airball usually playing big cards? You kidding right?
Where has pepe been?
I’d bluff more, people get scared to lose
I never believe airball lol. 50/50 bluff/monster so with that much money in I would call
Lol he would’ve been called a fish for his plays if he wasn’t at this table l.
less likely
less likely , i know everyone thatss stuck hates folding😂😂
Less
The Goat donk
He s tied for GOAT with Phil Helmuth
Dont ask "How would you have played this?" Because noone in the world but Nik Airball does this. LOL... but yeah I would bet out the tilted loser of the night and also I would show the bluff.
Everyone hates Nick Airball but I love him. He brings views. And makes wild plays. What else do you want for a live poker stream? Complete silent nits who dont talk and play KK+?
Jonathan, I Love your videos and your advice, but doing GTO analysis, (or any other kind) at these stakes with these players at this table is a total waste of time and actually confusing for "normal" players given the action that goes down. This is a SHOW first, and a poker game second and the players are leveled into infinity. Airball is a terrible player and is just there for entertainment. He could not even be a winning player year end at an average 1-3 table in Bum-Fck anywhere.
Lol, the hands don’t even matter in these videos, he’s giving fundamental advice that you can apply to any hands that you would play in a normal situation
Gto play
I generally want to play bluffs in a way to convince my opponent I'm trying to milk them for value. I'm not too familiar with Nik Airball, but I have a feeling that he wouldn't be ripping it all in 2x pot with the Ace High flush...
He would lol he does it all the time
It's called polarizing.
Nil airball is a rich hack who feels like a nobody and will lose all his money trying to feel like somebody. Go to RUclips and search poker players who lost all their money. There are several famous poker players on that list.
I hate him, too many reasons to list
Not sure who this Nik guy is. But he totes def a baller! Mad skillz right there yo!
airball doesn't make money in poker. He sucks
he’s the goat
shouldn’t have limp call pre
less likely
