What do YOU think is the best feeling in a poker hand? A. Flopping the nuts? B. Getting a huge bluff through? C. Making a hero call? D. Something else..? 🤯
I played in the last Turbo event at WSOP this year in Vegas. It was THE best table I've EVER sat at. Yeah, it was nice that I knocked out half of the table before I got moved but if there was a big decision/call to be made, we didn't say a word. Other than that, we were talking about women and poker.
It’s just so rare for players to be bluffing in that spot you have to call sometimes I get it but so so rare for even very capable players to find the check shove bluff on the end there
The only thing that would make me think he has it was he checked raised. If he was going to bluff he would have bet first. The check raise is always super strong.
I think KQ folds on the turn unless its KQhh and even then, you have better bluffs like QJ and KJ that actually block the full house you are repping. If you are bluffing KQ, probably overbluffing the river jam.
Yeah, you're more likely gonna just call them and take your chances vrs worse Ax... Jx and Khx maybe bluff but it's hard to actually pull the trigger on those ones unless you know a guy will fold some low boats to a shove.
I think the best bluffs here are J9,JT and lower hearts like T9. Having KQ of hearts, for example, blocks a higher number of Hook’s river value combos that are bad to bluff catch when facing a raise like AK,AQ no diamond. I think being selective with heart bluffs is important to not accidentally over bluff.
this hand best illustrates what the best player i ever knew once told me , "The key to poker is aggression, but the secret to poker is folding" i used to mull that over never quite getting it, here we have one guy being aggressive on every street , then he's met with even more aggression on the river, does aggression win the day or does folding win the day? here folding wins but this is an extreme example, i still haven't figured out that quote, maybe he was messing with my head. at the end when hook said " nice check on the river" it dawned on me the old adage, "you're only going to get called by better" it sucks to lose value but next time i'm in this situation i'm checking back.
Problem with GTO and finding Jx bluff raises on the river like this is that if opponent who hits flush calls too much, then your bluffs become horrible quite fast.
Not really, because on the other side of the coin is your value, and if they are calling too much and you structure correctly, you will still win money. Having said this.. you are right, a good exploit is not bluffing to calling stations and just printing in this spots 👍🏼
Action Dan's logical hands that *could* try a bluff would be KQ, KT or QT of hearts. He might raise with those on the flop, but since Hook has all the AX in his range, raising the flop might cause a reraise and Action could get blown off his equity. He would likely call those on the turn as well, given the turn bet was largish but not pot sized or above. Of course Hook blocks (to some degree) all those hands. Plus the river shove is giving him 2 to 1 on a call, so its not a gigantic bluff. Would Action do this with a value hand like JT of diamonds? Maybe. Hook blocks that some as well, and with a paired board Action might not try it with the third highest flush. If I was Hook, my analysis would be that there are too many ways to lose, and not enough ways to win, to justify the call.
You might beat J8-JT of diamonds that are value shoving the river, but otherwise yeah Dan has to turn like Kc Jd into a bluff and most players don't find that vs a tripple barrel.
What hands would I turn into a bluff on this river? Probably none, I'm a giant wuss and unable to bluff off stacks on the river. I'm working on it though! Also I'm low stakes scrub so they'll snapcall any flush probably :D What hands should I be bluffing on the river? My first thought is some kind of jack. Maybe KJ with K of diamonds, and QJ with Q of diamonds, and then whatever other Jx we need. Blocking as much of the full house calling range as possible, and even perhaps having some showdown value when checked on the river vs give ups.
I once folded the top end of a straight on a paired board sensing a boat, when Villain later claimed he had the bottom end of the straight and was going for value from trips.
I opened AcQx for $20 from the CO in a 2/5 cash game, and had about $1,100 behind. BTN and BB called. Pot $60. Flop KcJh5c. BB checked. I bet $40. BTN folded. BB called. Pot $140. I had $1,050 behind and BB had me covered. Turn Ts. BB checked. I bet $100. BB x/r’ed to $350. I considered 3b jamming but ultimately just called, because I thought he had 2-pair and I block nfd, and a shove may look too much like a set or better. He was playing tight-passive. Pot $840. River Ks. BB quickly put out $1,100 to put me all in for my last $700. I folded and said “Nice boat”. He said, “I didn’t have a boat.” I said, “Then nice bluff.” He said, “No, I was somewhere between a boat and a bluff.”
The solver I used at the time did not think either of my moves (flat-call the x/r on the turn, fold to the river jam) was bad but that both could be mixed.
The D were back door so it's hard to fold the nut flush thinking it was very disguised. A smaller flush , a bare Ace on the outside, He definitely had JJ or A/J on the Back stove .
After analysis, I can get away from this river jam. We block loads of the logical bluffs AND the remaining bluffs (KxJd, QxJd) shouldn't be in our opponents range. Who turns TT-88 with a diamond into a bluff here?! You can only call if you think your opponent jams a load of low flushes (which they shouldn't have).
Only bluffs I see are low hearts, don’t think he’d bluff with KQ hearts as he would block hooks potential hearts. Don’t think theres any way he has a naked jack, that’s only a call or fold.
Poker is a social game. If someone can't handle people enjoying themselves and can't think through a hand while others around them speak in normal conversational tones, then that person shouldn't be playing poker.
This is an auto fold to almost any player. Against Dan, it may -- just may be a sigh (and weep) call...but it's still probably a fold. Maybe I'm just used to these easy folds at 2/5, but this would be a suicide bluff for him to give Hook these pot odds on a bluff on this board. I think even JJ isn't completely thrilled here.
When Hook raised $53K, there is no good bluff. It's plainly obvious, a check-raise has the goods. The only question is, how good is Dan's cards. As we see, a bluff would have been called for all in.
Did you put the title on the wrong video or something? Nobody lost anywhere even close to 500k in this hand. I hope this was just a mistake because I didn’t think this channel was about clickbait.
Surely Hook is NOT beimg bluffed more than his pot odds and his excellent hand, which is only the 3rd nuts i think is actually now just a bluff catcher. Fold!
To be fair Action Dan is like the only player there thats capable of actually having a bluff there. I've seen action dan plau shit like 3 2 off in 3 bet pots so not a lot of credit to him.
My answer to your video question.. Hardly anybody is ever bluffing in this spot .. Hook is just an inexperienced player. He should have been Check Folding, Hook did not play good GTO he would have check and folded on the flop or turn ..
@@Thanks-bj1fo if he checked the river and the other dude jammed over 200k (almost 3x pot) it would be a tough decision. Hard to fold after checking when you bink the best possible river card. It would obviously depend on the player, but against most people I'm calling. Betting the river makes it much easier to fold.
The commentators are insane in these videos like it’s that hard to fold a flush on paired board … “ put him in the ultimate blender “ …. Really ? 😂 … I’m guess that’s why I’m The called Donkanator .. I take advantage of donkey thoughts and habits
![This Has NEVER HAPPENED Before!!!! [Feat. Nik Airball]](/img/1.gif)
What do YOU think is the best feeling in a poker hand?
A. Flopping the nuts?
B. Getting a huge bluff through?
C. Making a hero call?
D. Something else..? 🤯
Slowrolling your nemesis and hero calling of his stack next hand because he was tilting from your slowroll.
👍👍👍👍
A. That makes the rest of the hand feel like a vacation.
Flopping the nuts is the greatest feeling
D. I rivered the absolute nuts with quads and the villain jammed all in into me. Best feeling when that happens.
Definitely B. or C. As you had a part in it and made great decisions so you feel pretty chuffed. A. is just feeling good due to luck.
The worst thing about this clip is Ariball's inability to shut up during a $500k decision!
Dude has no class. No respect for the game or others.

Pretty much every table he's at he doesn't give respect to the players.
The guy is the biggest douche in poker. Zero class
Classic Nik.
Obviously very easy for me to type sitting here but check call, check call, check shove is just such an unbelievably strong line so often.
Only logical bluff, I think, would be KQ hearts, or Q10 hearts. Maybe J10 suited. This so smells like Jack's or AJ.
exactly
Kq hearts and q10 hearts are terrible river bluffs. They don't block anything at all. They're just missed draws, that's not what makes a good bluff.
For those who need help with math, he lost about $250,000.
😂😂😂😂😂
AirBall became a millionaire playing poker by starting with a billion
That’s an obvious statement…ha
All professional players were rich, because of daddy and mom but rich before playing poker
@@powerbluessthat’s completely untrue , explain players like chidwick and Linus
@ not true
@@powerbluesspoker has bankrupted more millionaires than it’s created but it’s created quite a few
Can we please review Alex foxens hand on one of the final few hands of the 100k where he called with a 3

I always question bull rush a flush on a paired board.
I think the best hand to turn into a bluff on this river would be KQ for the missed straight draw.
Heart draws too potentially
I think KQ folds on the turn unless its KQhh and even then, you have better bluffs like QJ and KJ that actually block the full house you are repping. If you are bluffing KQ, probably overbluffing the river jam.
Maybe some Jack hands or possibly Ax that I was certain was beat by a better kicker. Both are a stretch though.
Yeah, you're more likely gonna just call them and take your chances vrs worse Ax... Jx and Khx maybe bluff but it's hard to actually pull the trigger on those ones unless you know a guy will fold some low boats to a shove.

He started off with $245,820. so how does he lose $500,000. ? it's impossible.
the pot was $500k (rounding)
Clickbait
why disgusting ??? he FLOPPED the boat. not like he got runner runner by chasing like some sad loser

This is one of the best examples of how to slow play the nuts I’ve ever seen. Let your opponent catch up and come for it all on the river
Action Dan's logical hands that *could* try a bluff would be KQ, KT or QT of hearts. He might raise with those on the flop, but since Hook has all the AX in his range, raising the flop might cause a reraise and Action could get blown off his equity.

KQ, KT, QT are bad bluff candidates firstly because they should be folding the turn...more importantly you want boat blockers such as Ax and Jx
Check raising J high flush on the river seems like an insane overplay
You might beat J8-JT of diamonds that are value shoving the river, but otherwise yeah Dan has to turn like Kc Jd into a bluff and most players don't find that vs a tripple barrel.

are there any codes for monthly subs

pretty rude for the table to keep laughing n joking during the tank for 1/2 mil

@@billybegood466 well they’re playing for hundreds of thousands of dollars.. totally disagree with you.
@@primetimeneon4886 It's all relative though. They may be playing for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it's nothing to them.
KhQh,QhTh, TT, 99,and maybe JTs . So he’s got a many many bluffs in his range. Tough, tough…
This is an auto fold to almost any player. Against Dan, it may -- just may be a sigh (and weep) call...but it's still probably a fold. Maybe I'm just used to these easy folds at 2/5, but this would be a suicide bluff for him to give Hook these pot odds on a bluff on this board. I think even JJ isn't completely thrilled here.
I’m surprised that the check call across the flop and the turn is gto. You’d think that would be an obvious slow roll heads up.
He probably make a bluff if he had the king of diamonds in his hand, but considering HOOK has that, my alarm bells would be going tf offfff!!
I thought a house beats a flush. So he should have folded right ?
If I was hook, I’d be assuming he had A3 or a six or an A x hand that missed
Sniffing out a big river bluff on a scary board.
This is a classic bluff vs serious. I guess I would call ... and lose.
K Q of Hearts is the only one that makes sense to me. Everything else has value enough to showdown and not be a bluff
KQ no heart, Q10h, Q10 no heart granted connected heart combos are not ideal but possible
When Hook raised $53K, there is no good bluff. It's plainly obvious, a check-raise has the goods. The only question is, how good is Dan's cards. As we see, a bluff would have been called for all in.
Hook should have other KQ suited bluffs and missed hearts
Why don't people see a check on the river as a sign of strength?
My concern is the bad players I am up against will be merge betting all in with any weaker flush, any ace, even pocket kings or other nonsense
How can he have a weaker flush?
Looked good today, image was tight and solid from my point of view. Day1B assuming actually live....
zero hands other than MAYBE KQhh that he could bluff with and little to no chance of that bluff.
Did you put the title on the wrong video or something? Nobody lost anywhere even close to 500k in this hand. I hope this was just a mistake because I didn’t think this channel was about clickbait.

@ That would be better, but it wasn’t a 500k pot either.
Surely Hook is NOT beimg bluffed more than his pot odds and his excellent hand, which is only the 3rd nuts i think is actually now just a bluff catcher. Fold!
Didn't you say in many videos to take River aggression seriously; they have the nuts.

Are they really playing for this amount or do they just buy in for like $10,000 and get a million chips?
Shit got my guys mixed up my bad
Hook, line, sinker.....
I would never have chased a draw on a paired board some old head taught me that in the 90s.
home game kiddie table chips, who is the idiot that made that decision
Great check . But to not realise it was a great check was dumb
The best bluffs are hands with the Js or Jc.
Makes me feel better smashing $320 yesterday KK vs my JJ on an 6 high board.
No bluffs perhaps, but could overplay JdTd.
My answer to your video question..
Hardly anybody is ever bluffing in this spot .. Hook is just an inexperienced player.
He should have been Check Folding, Hook did not play good GTO he would have check and folded on the flop or turn ..
Hook looks like John Travolta.
KQ or KT h, but this is never a bluff because he's got to put Hook on an A.
Yea action dan was an action player for about 2 weeks
Uhm "action dan"
rippin off dan harrington.
How about something original?
He wasn't flopped dead had SF outs
Worried about pocket AA? He has the third A????????
He'd call down and bluff the river with Q,K hearts
He lost half. Not 500k.
It's the best hand for the community? Call
He maybe bluffing with ak or aq
That's an always fold.
TY
This clip was when action dan was around .. dude fell off
Great spot to check fold or bet fold for value.
You can never check fold that river. Bet fold is probably the play. Especially on a jam.
@tylerslenk8243 yeah, depends on game, location, and player. I've never needed to check fold yet, but for 500k. I might. But i would just bet fold lol
@@Thanks-bj1fo if he checked the river and the other dude jammed over 200k (almost 3x pot) it would be a tough decision. Hard to fold after checking when you bink the best possible river card.

Missed hearts
