ngl a lot in the past I've found jrb annoying, but this monologue while deliberating was actually amazing. Spoken like a dude with a great sense of humor who's ok poking fun at himself. He also reasoned out persson's hand almost exactly. Even though he folded the winner this made me like jrb a lot more.
@@wesgrubbs8437 no, atypical JRB. He displayed characteristics I don't often see from his clips of the past in a humble and clever way. He also deduced correctly the kind of hand persson would turn into a bluff here, which is not par for the course with him. So I enjoyed this variation of him. It's also weird to call someone weird for expressing an isolated opinion.
@@bust3dstr8 Who isn’t a little scared money at these stakes? This is at least 2-3% of their net worths on the tables. Plus this wasn’t the easiest call to make.
If you watch the whole episode, after losing this hand you see JRB go through the first three stages of grief. He gets to bargaining at the very end. It's interesting to watch someone go through it in real time.
😅👌💪 that was the best commentary on this show thus far ... and by JRB - everything he verbalized was spot on ... except the unforeseen 3rd video where he folds and waits for break time to change his Depends 😂 👶 🤑 💸
Persson's problem is that people have long caught up with his shenanigans and know that 4 out of 5 times he'll try to pull it off with a 8-4 off suite. That's why he gets called in these spots more than other people.
@@EZ_Case You don't get it. It might work like any other bluff does. But the odds of it getting through are decreasing for him, because he pulls these stunts all the time and his opponents equity increases knowing that. If you call him 5 times and are right three or four times, you get paid.
I agree and it is what makes it difficult playing against him or Nik Airball is their ability to fearlessly bluff at spots that really may not warrant it, meaning we will have to call them down a disproportionate amount of times compared to regular players. That said, I really don't understand the super loooooong tanks in these situations. When you play against this type of player, every round during the hand you should already be strategizing what your move will be if faced with a huge raise or a shove. Because that is MORE likely to happen with these types of players. That said, on my 65K river bet, I have already decided that facing a huge raise or a shove, will I call or fold. When it happens my fold or call will be pretty much a snap.
I love JRB so glad that he’s still around after all these years if he’d only listen to his instincts he would be a 🐐 fr look at all these videos he talks out every hand and is right almost all the time but folds!
At first I didn’t know how I felt about Schulman but he’s really grown on me. “What’s this..? Hang on a second Aj… This guy..”. When Persson raises. Made me actually laugh out loud. But seriously, what a wicked nasty spot that was. Sheesh.
1:30 - shaking his head, (1:59 - "he was shaking his head" - commentary). That's actually an awesome move if you were legitimately shaking your head but then you used it as a bluff like many amateurs do make it *seem* like their hand is weak. I think I did this once or perhaps twice when I was young... I went against my gut and just did something unexpected to confuse everyone at the table.. and it worked out!
I've always found it beneficial to play in games where the stakes mean roughly the same to everyone involved to try to avoid this situation as much as possible.
Why ITF would you want to avoid games where a whale is splashing around punting left and right because the stakes are too low???? Absurd. And currently you have 11 upvotes. I guess people hate being handed stacks.
Just a random thought, but if you start out the hand under-repping a top of range hand like AK, then your opponents are likely not going to put you on that hand either. It's entirely possible Persson made that darkcheck/raise thinking he had the best hand. I feel like if you're going to under-rep hands like AA, KK, AK then you've already chosen to take the high-variance route, and you need to risk the call there... Or just check it back on the river if the board texture looks too wet.
And also the problem playing Personn is that he has so much money he can play any two cards so something like A5 or A10 suited has you beat here, might have been in back of his mind.
Hilarious video! Eric fumbling his chips before raising was definitely a tell ! And JRB was spot on he knew it was a bluff too bad he couldnt bring himself to call.
Don't know if it's #1 but has to be up there in the rules of poker... DO NOT PLAY WITH SCARED MONEY. Especially if it will prevent you from making the correct play. Man he had the hand read prefect too,wanted SOOO bad to see JRB make the call
Need to see Eric at the same high stakes table with Tony G, Hellmuth, Kassouf, JRB, Matusow, and 1 or 2 more live wires. Let me cast 1 High Stakes Poker table, pleeeaaassseeee & ty!!
JRB is a class act, whether he wins or loses. Persson, on the other hand, hasn't figured out how to be a decent person. JRB had the bluff figured out by repeating the action. So close.
I was begging for a call…. And the sad thing was that fold is why he shouldn’t be playing that high of stakes… I think if you sit at that type of game you make that call… because there’s more enough on that board to make a bluff The needling wasn’t necessary
2 things could’ve happened on that river . 1) John should’ve correctly checked it back as his hand was now targeting very thin value given the line the villain took of wanting to see the run out quickly to decide his hand (draws of all kinds) everything got there. 2) Snap call the ridiculous bluff induced from all the missed draws and weaker hands when villian tank overbet our river bet after dark check quitting
Yep, he went for 3 streets of value and sometimes you can be outplayed in that exact spot if you aren't careful. The classic spot where villian knows they are behind, yet hero is capped, therefore, can be exploited.
Going into this I was under impression that he will make the call. One time when being bad pays out and he just need to call him because "u can't bluff an idiot", but he finds the fold this time wow i wish he called
I really thought Bellande was calling there he had it figured so well. That’s the problem with being staked you can’t play 100% wide open your always worried about loosing it.
Love how he puts him on the correct hand and does the opposite. Where was the talk of a Ad suited and went runner runner or A rag hitting 2pr He had him nailed with all his reads. I guess he convinced himself he was putting out reverse tells
The fact that he raised massively without knowing what % of that is his stack is a huge tell...if you have it you would want to either value it or jam it all in
Nah , he should of known a 200k raise with that board was a bluff--sorry but he talked himself out of it --as soon as he said 200more , im spotting that insta...still a tough call because of the size --but thats the game your in. If it can happen it might happen , you got to be ready for it.
He’s right about playing the “rich man hand”…I see billionaires make plays like this, and get it through… Not necessarily, because it’s a great play-or they are great players …But cause the money for the other person would be too significant to lose… many would argue that you should never play with what you’re not willing to lose… with that I agree, but the billionaires wouldn’t be making these plays if money was a factor… they just have a luxury that others don’t

Dude fr… was like story mode
JRB is in that game with scared money. It was only a matter of time before someone like Robl or Persson started to take bing swings at him.
I enjoyed Persson sharing his thoughts as well 😅

@@bust3dstr8 Who isn’t a little scared money at these stakes? This is at least 2-3% of their net worths on the tables. Plus this wasn’t the easiest call to make.
Toughhhh. His analysis was spot on tho
However, it was useless at the end, as JRB would have called if he actually believed what he was saying.
This is the most entertaining JRB has ever been. The others can't help laughing even with the huge pot happening...
JRB is a legend. Always and forever broke living
If you watch the whole episode, after losing this hand you see JRB go through the first three stages of grief. He gets to bargaining at the very end. It's interesting to watch someone go through it in real time.
I’ve never seen Eric quiet like that. Seemed very bluffy
Exactly my thinking.
Right. If he has it he always talks so much
Seemed very bluffy because you can see his hand lol
I have seen him bluffing and talking
NICE FISH LOGIC LOL seeing his hand when he bluffs "seemed very bluffy" with your hindsight.
4:08 WOW I THOUGHT JRB WAS GOING TO MAKE THE CALL ONCE HE FIGURED OUT ERICS HAND
Man.. I just wanted to see one clip of JRB wining a massive pot 😂 Oh well, the wait continues. 😁
1:19 when persson messes up his chip shuffle was the highlight of the video for me
John Robert is hands-down, one of the best poker players to watch. Entertaining when or lose every time. 🙌🏼
*win
@@collinreardon79 In JRB's case, "when" was correct
Was pretty obvious how pearson went DEAD silent right after JRB said he was going to fold haha. he didn't want to take anymore chances.
😅👌💪 that was the best commentary on this show thus far ... and by JRB - everything he verbalized was spot on ... except the unforeseen 3rd video where he folds and waits for break time to change his Depends 😂 👶 🤑 💸
On lesser stakes, A K is calling there greater than 90%. But calling any single pair for $200k at the river is a huge gamble.
Loved the camera angle that showed High Stakes in the foreground while JRB processed the hand
That was really entertaining!
Persson's problem is that people have long caught up with his shenanigans and know that 4 out of 5 times he'll try to pull it off with a 8-4 off suite. That's why he gets called in these spots more than other people.
Like when Antonius called his bluff with one of the largest pots ever. Seeing Persson’s face when he realized he was drawing dead is priceless.
@@maxfit68906the best part was him not originally realizing he was smoked 😂😂😂

No one is more entertaining than JRB in live cash games.
What about in "non live" cash games?? He's not entertaining in those?? 🤔
He's got no read on any of his villains at all 🤔
Alan Keating is more fun to watch
I guess you haven’t heard Elton Tsang and Rui Cao

Once again, bravo PokerGo for perfectly capturing the vid in the title, “Eric tries bluffing…”. He didn’t try anything, he did.
Correct title ... They tried to not let you know if JRB actually folded it not... Keeps the suspense.
That was a check back river. Too much danger of 2 pair or flush.
Please share more often of these high stakes videos.. great content ❤️
I was rooting for him to call.
At first I didn’t know how I felt about Schulman but he’s really grown on me.
“What’s this..? Hang on a second Aj… This guy..”. When Persson raises. Made me actually laugh out loud.
But seriously, what a wicked nasty spot that was. Sheesh.
Yep Mr. B just captured what it means to be a gambler. ..the utility perspective. Great job!
Eric finally makes an advanced play
That worked lol
He mis read it as diamonds

How entertaining is JRB lol, great stuff
i always seem to miss the vids where he wins lol...but hey he still in the game after all these years!
That set up to be what couldve been the most 'cinematic' and deserved slow roll needles of all time
Has JRB ever made one correct decision in his poker life?
Years ago he was on Survivor and he didn't play poker at all while on the show. I think that was the correct decision.

He found the logical line of thanking. He just couldn't find the courage to call.
Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
JRB nailed person perfectly but couldn’t call cuz it’s not about hand analysis it’s about playign above your means and having to fold to fear
There was no reason for these double birds. Come on eric.

Jack, i thought the exact same thing!
Eric was looking weathered but lit up like a Christmas tree and JRB folded 😅
The funny thing is...
I think that's all JRB is known for in the poker world is his talk.
JRB is a fool for folding this vs that guy
Going into this I was under impression that he will make the call. One time when being bad pays out and he just need to call him because "u can't bluff an idiot", but he finds the fold this time wow i wish he called
This is already a classic HSP hand
this is instantly a historic hand
He needed the one tear for the ultimate exclamation mark.
5:57 My poor soul, I couldn't handle a middle finger.
JRB had it perfectly read when he talked it out but couldn’t make the call.
What a vido- brilliant from every aspect
I realllllllyyy wanted him to call that would of been great!
why bet the river JRB? so many hands beat you, straight, flush, trips, 2 pair? i mean, u left yourself open for a big bluff raise, but wtf do i know
nice hand, dont blame JRB for folding, shouldve just checked the river and collected a smaller pot, gotta know you your playing against
There should be an option for having hidden cards, so you could guess first what they had and then re-watch it again
He didnt 3bet pre.. His hand is so under repped.. Horrible fold.. What is he calling if he folds this lol
JRB looked sick after he folded and Eric showed
It’s amazing JRB corrected called Eric’s hand like Daniel N. Yet he folded😂
no prude but, the double finger salute.... either I missed the backstory or **** move. and I like EP.
thats the problem with thin value on the river. If you get re raised bluffed, you're in a very tough spot.
Called it out so well I thought he might find the call
He went through 2 videos of him calling, but never popped in the video of him folding. I think he might have called had he watched the folding videos.
I feel so so sorry for Bellande

Hurts so much more

Man that would have been a sick call.
In the Poker World "You play like JRB" usually has a derogatory meaning
Now THIS is content
JRB is my favorite sad sack poker pro! I mean that in the best possible way.
Ending was 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that he raised massively without knowing what % of that is his stack is a huge tell...if you have it you would want to either value it or jam it all in
interesting dynamical psychological case study
This is what happens when you play games that are too big and you can’t afford to lose. He should’ve made that call.
That’s why I rather check the river, people say I lose value by doing that, but I know I will fold to a re raise, so I play it safe
Now there is a video JRB doesnt like expecially with close up on Eric's middle fingers, lol😂
Its an easy call if you actually think about his call, call and check raising range.
Whenever someone is shaking like that, it’s most likely a bluff. Some guys just can’t lie
Wow you must be professional poker player. How much you been winning?
