6:40 i think it’s probable, everyone forgetting the stonks/ crypto boom? I worked with a guy who turned 50k into 4 million in like 4-6 months. He is now retired at 45

Yeah i was making a good living (125k) but i was heavily invested in crypto and the market. I pulled out just before putin attacked and now i plan in retiring in 3 years (im 47). 4 million isn't really enough for me to retire imo but good on your buddy.

Keating *REALLY* should check-raise the flop for the reasons you mentioned. There are just too many hands he can fold out that are ahead of T9 which is only drawing to the nuts on a non-spade 7 because KT is the nuts on a Q/A run out. Realistically, Rahul can only call a Keating flop check-raise with KhTh so Keating can actually clean all his non-spade Q run outs by raising and folding out almost all of Rahul's KT combos, which is *massive* this deep where having the essential nuts matters *way* more than say 100bb deep. Also, range-wise that board is better for Keating who would have to check-raise all his J8, J4, and 84 combos that he *will* have because he closed the action pre-flop. Those hands need protection from all the bad turn cards and from being counterfeited against Rahul's overpairs.

It's a bad call otr. He even said he should have checked it down, called out T9s, which indicated he knows he should now fold, and pot odds aren't even that great. To go from that line of thought, to calling a million $ shove with what is basically only a bluff catcher, is quite a weird decision. Ok sure sometimes You gotta call those to be hard to play against. But in that spot?

[@pahakuutti]

I think he should value the river, (unless read), but its a fold to almost any reraise. Maybe call a clickback rr, and that's about it. If he thinks he can't fold to a rr, then just don't play at all. I find that to a useful indicator of whether I should keep playing. When folding seems effortless, its gonna be a good session. If the fold button is missing otoh, it might just be better to call it a day.

I wish I could not give an eff about $ like Alan Keating…

This is some Soup du jour shit

[@JohnDeCarlo]

You are unique. Just like everyone else. Unless you have the absolute, stone-cold nuts

[@Stockhandle123]

You should be a professional poker player and really shitty and poker that just makes sure you a losing professional poker player. Professional or pro just me that is your only source of income or main source of income that applies even if it's a negative. Alan is not a winning player that is obvious.

I think the only other cash game player that is as interesting as Dwan and plays at those stakes is Ivey, and it's because with both of them their brains just work different and they attempt moves nobody else would ever even try and somehow manage to pull most of them off.
