Truthfully I would of done the opposite of him. That's why he wins the big bucks. Great video. It's good to see how exploitative compares to GTO at high stakes compared to ignorance versus GTO at the micro stakes where I play.
Goes back to the beginning of the video, trying to get stacks in, so shove seems right. If he’s leading a lot of trips he’s going to have a tough time folding. If I’m Yuri and I know Addamo is capable, I might call, although when you look at the GTO range Q6 is near the bottom of the calling range as played. He also may have more data on Addamo than we know.
Such a good breakdown on why the queen is favorable for the donk bet. The range advantage was intuitive, so I expected the lead, but your explanation of how the button is effecely soft capped by making the turn bet was particularly helpful.
I was watching this live and couldnt believe when yuri folded the river with the trips. Insanely good fold. Crazy hand! Thanks for the breakdown analysis JL ❤
I would definitely raise hoping to get value from trips. I believe he would likely JAM junky two pair like Q2/Q4 on the turn to get value from Micheal Ax hands. Granted his range does contain a few slowplayed boats like 22, but I think their is simply too many Q-x which call a ton on the river for Micheals disquisd straight. Edit: wow yuri must think Micheal is almost never out of line and is tight here - maybes he right tbh. What a fold.
Didn’t show Add’s range vs donk on river in the video but I imagine the only reason Yuri folds Q6 there is bc he blocks the 65 and 63 bluffs with blockers to the wheel that Add should be bluff raising on river, my gto guess is that if there could be a weaker queen that didn’t block the bluffs, Yuri would call it opposed to Q6
Unless Add is only supposed to bluff raise river with blockers to boats which as mentioned in video shouldn’t rly exist in Yuri’s range, then Q5 and Q3 would be bad to call with too bc you block more bluffs then value as only 53 is value, whereas 65, 63, J5, T5 etc. all I imagine are bluff raised on river. I like the J5/T5 a lot bc it blocks Yuri’s best queens as well
Tangent, I don’t understand blocking someone’s “best” something from gto standpoint. It just turns into a gto leveling war, if you block villains “best” queen in this example by having J5 or T5 which I’m almost certain is why gto likes these bluffs, then those aren’t villains “best” queens anymore because now villain blocks bluffs with QJ and QT, which then means they’re not good blockers to bluff with anymore and it just infinitely goes on
From Michael's perspective I think all aces Yuri have would check-call that river because the draws miss and worse hands won't call a bet and me some of the time a queen would check as well. So when he leads river small, I think his range is equally split between queen's, full houses, and a few aces and weird bluffs. I think if Michael raises, 90% he gets a call. Since there is at least as much Qx in range as FH and it's for the win and if you lose you have massive chip lead, you have to raise.
When you look at Yuri's river decision, the chart is interesting - Yuri calls with all of his queens yet folds the ace. Why? In some sense, an ace is as good as a queen with such a polarizing bet from Michael, but I'm guessing the solver folds the ace because it unblocks the queen. Having a queen isn't a good call just because it is a good hand - it is good because it blocks one of the primary value bets your opponent is repping. You could spend hours just studying this one hand, and looking at the various ranges and permutations of outcomes. What an insane game.
I would like to think I would have called with 98 on that river. My reasoning being that an all-in bet is either designed to convince the opponent to fold a stronger hand, or to get the opponent to get it in bad with a strong hand. The question is what hand would Michael make that he would jam with and expect to get called? Sure, he could have pockets and have hit trips (does not seems likely), he could have 25, but that seems far fetched, and so most likely Michael would be shoving AK, AQ, possibly A8 for I doubt he would shove Ax or Qx and he is certainly not gonna shove a pair of 2s, 4s, or 8s. So this begs the question - if you have AK, AQ, A8 why shove them? The most likely outcome of shoving those hands is a fold for it pretty much blocks anything the opponent would have. In my mind, if I had AK AQ A8 in this scenario, I am going to 1/2 pot bet,hope to get called and react if I am shoved against. And, so, because Michael shoved, it would indicate to me that he is bluffing and, given the board, I would assume he was bluffing with air. Easy to analyze after the fact but looking at it now that is how I hope I would reason it through.
The river actually becomes something of a tough spot, because 35 is no longer the nuts. 22, 44, Q2, Q4 have moved out front, and your opponent leads what appears to be a blocking bet but appears to leave enough behind to fold to a shove. It looks like he could be trying to entice a raise here. That means that he has at least trip queens, but does he have more than that? Looking at it from my opponent's perspective, this looks like it could be a bet trying to get a call from an Ace or two pair, which he could put me on. He probably doesn't think that 35 makes up much of my range after I raise the button preflop and then bet the flop. He likely puts me on a hand like AJ, AT that have strong kickers to go along with Aces up. If I raise, could I reasonably get called by worse? Well, a queen is almost certain to call, and even an Ace with a strong kicker will have a hard time folding to a shove. If my opponent has trips or Aces up and I shove, could he believe that his hand is good and call? I think this depends a lot on how good his Ace kicker is, and possibly even his queen kicker. AJ or AT might find a call, but I would expect a fold from A9 or worse. I would expect almost all queens to call as Ax makes up a large portion of my range, but if he has a kicker problem with his queen, he could conceivably fold it. After analyzing the spot, I think I shove here expecting to get called by a queen, and praying that I don't get snapped off because I'm almost always beaten by a snap call, which I expect to be a boat. Edit: After watching the rest of the video, I was stunned by the laydown of trip queens, but I see the logic. My opponent has to reasonably put me on a queen, so why bluff in this spot. He must either have the case queen, in which case my kicker is almost certainly no good or a boat (AA, 22, 44). I still don't believe he was giving a lot of weight to 35. We've all gotten spanked on the river with exactly two kinds of hands - river trips or a river boat that loses to a boat or better boat and two pair with a hand like KJ that loses to a straight when the ace or ten hits the river. (I actually wince when my connectors flop two-pair these days, just expecting it to happen.)
More importantly at that time Addamo had tonnes of chips to not worry about loosing to a FH. But a straight is a strong hand there. If the opponent had two pair or better he would have heard about it before the river.
feels like an easy all in. Aq is not in his logical range. Pocket 4 and 2 would reraise on flop & turn. So only q2 and q4 he loose to. Al the other queens will call.
In my opinion I think it might be a call because he either has trips or a full house but then again if you went all in with a straight he might call with a 3 of a kind so either way it might not be the worst decision.
It’s tricky cuz he doesn’t beat any queens except Q4 and Q5 and it’s kind of a kamakazi bluff if addamo is bluffing you kind of just have to say well if your crazy enough to bluff this spot when I show clear strength then I’m crazy enough to fold 🤷♀️
I was playing with a guy that had his charts printed out next to his chips . I had to laugh my azz off . Then I seen it on brad Owens vlog that he seen it to . The guy didn’t understand me making a joke out of it .
Raise and put Yuri all In - Yuri isnt playing AQ like that. Addamo stack is big enough that the All In wont hurt if it goes pear shaped . If I was Yuri I would have put my last 3m in instead of 600k
Wow fabulous Polish name! Pronounced Jiv-yel-eff-ski! Well Michael is behind only Q4 and Q2, and ahead of other queens. He bet 520+K to get the money in on the river, so let’s get it in! All-in.
On each river decision, what would you have done as Yuri Dzivielevski - Call or Fold?
Truthfully I would of done the opposite of him. That's why he wins the big bucks. Great video. It's good to see how exploitative compares to GTO at high stakes compared to ignorance versus GTO at the micro stakes where I play.

He also may have more data on Addamo than we know.
In the first hand i will fold if i ever block before that, but i would also fold in the second hand
I would of did the opposite of what he did!!! That’s why I lose all the time! Lol
Man that was crazy gg gentleman.
Since most of the value leads are trips, I think a raise is the best play here. The only raise size that makes sense giving spr is all in
Such a good breakdown on why the queen is favorable for the donk bet. The range advantage was intuitive, so I expected the lead, but your explanation of how the button is effecely soft capped by making the turn bet was particularly helpful.
Really enjoy these hand analysis videos. Watched every single one between Doug and Daniel as well. Keep the awesome content coming!
Thanks, will do!
Great video! What a sick fold by Yuri in that first hand
Outstanding plays by both players. But wow Yuri was in some spots. Thanks for the video @jonathan Little!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yuri is an absolute beast, he played every hand like he knew what his opponent had
Yep!
The kind of player you want to avoid 😬 you need your A++ game to win
Note that the opponent All in is well played also...in last spot
I was watching this live and couldnt believe when yuri folded the river with the trips. Insanely good fold. Crazy hand! Thanks for the breakdown analysis JL ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rewatching any of your older vids that mention adamo
Haven't heard of either of these two, impressive track records on both of em, especially Michael. Brilliant fold with the trips.
many thanks for sharing and explaining this two pieces of art.
My pleasure!
Also, got the bell on now and liked the vid. You are the nuts of RUclips poker
Thanks!

Now the 89 off call for all the chips is insane and I’m pretty sure i would have folded
go all in always
Although it was correct folding trip Q's there was brutal!
I would raise all in for the win!
I think I flat call. Raise like 20 percent of the time depending on the opponent.
(off been on the "8.6%ile" of "🔔 dingdingdingdingding!!!!" For over 15mo. 👍🤓

I posted this before you gave the answer in the video but it is a tough decision so deep stacked.
I would of went all in with the 53 on the river
First hand you should have showed Michael's bluff shoves on the river
It’s tricky cuz he doesn’t beat any queens except Q4 and Q5 and it’s kind of a kamakazi bluff if addamo is bluffing you kind of just have to say well if your crazy enough to bluff this spot when I show clear strength then I’m crazy enough to fold 🤷♀️
Clear Shove in my opinion, beating even Value bets of Yuri
call because there is to much equity to fold but he could now have a full house so i would want to loose another 2 mill
I would raise all-in
Raise
ALL IN! His image is bluff heavy, opponent can have KQ, QJ, other queens, not AQo, probably not sets he would have raised.
Raise all in because he only has 3 times his bet when you have so much more chips then the villain
I was playing with a guy that had his charts printed out next to his chips . I had to laugh my azz off . Then I seen it on brad Owens vlog that he seen it to . The guy didn’t understand me making a joke out of it .
I would shove in Michaels shoes, super strong hand, flush missed and high straight. With this hip lead I would go for it all
I raise to put him AI. I think he would have raised AQ preflop
I would fold q’s just because a boat and a straight are out there
Raise and put Yuri all In - Yuri isnt playing AQ like that. Addamo stack is big enough that the All In wont hurt if it goes pear shaped . If I was Yuri I would have put my last 3m in instead of 600k
Raise 2X to his bet.
Wow fabulous Polish name! Pronounced Jiv-yel-eff-ski!
Well Michael is behind only Q4 and Q2, and ahead of other queens. He bet 520+K to get the money in on the river, so let’s get it in!
All-in.
Thanks!
@@PokerCoaching
Thank YOU for teaching us poker!
da fuq? Ok, I will NEVER be THAT good.
Raise to 1.2mill....induce an all-in....my tu sense
Raise to take him out if he's good here ,if not he still has commanding chip lead .
i shove because if im beat im beat lol
Easy shove. I feel like if he had two pair that became a boat he'd have got it in all ready.
How did he know to call that?!?
Phil hellmuth: "White Magic"
All in
Isn't Michael Addamo Australian?
I don't know.
Yeh hes Australian but Australians cant play on GG.
