Garrett is very GREEDY, he always asks player how much they have chip stacks left before attempting to bluff. If it were me, I wouldn't let him looking into my chip stacks. "Stop looking at my chip stacks, check, bet or fold!!!"
I really respect how Garrett acts at the table. Very humble, kind, never getting upset when treated with poor etiquette. You can learn a lot from this man on how to be a decent human.
LMAO fake nice and fake humble, Garrett likes to patronize other players at the table, and pretty rude to reg players like Art, Gal, Andy and a few others especially he got heavily challenged in a pot, he has this superior complexity that he supposed to be the best at the table.

Sometimes he just goes to fast, if he just slows down and thinks for a second he might be able to get more money. Like how he led the river with the JJ set. Like you’re really not getting called by anything worse, but if you check you give him a chance to bluff at it.
First RUclips comment in maybe a decade simply to say, Garrett is a class act my ass. Who are these paid fake commenters? And F the announcer for questioning Lucky’s etiquette after Garrett bombs the 50k pot on the river with NOTHING and Lucky calls the $80k and wants to see the hand. Shameful of the announcer.

Yes, its crazy how ever so often its one guy at the table that you just can't beat that night. If you have played poker long enough you will experience the same. Tough!
Good regs should always just turn over their hands when called. Ideally all players do this, as it speeds up the game and prevents any socially awkward situations such as the first hand. Yes, Lucky’s choice to make Garrett show is not the most generous, but if one has the balls to call a huge river bet, they should have the right to see their opponent’s cards without being chastised. In online poker you automatically see your opponent’s hand at showdown, and no one ever complains.
In live, that's not really the norm. The rule is in place to catch collusion, not to provide information. 99% of the world follows the standard and doesn't ask. It's not the end of the world, but why is Lucky entitled to info that he doesn't have to give out regularly? It doesn't upset me when somebody asks, but there is a difference between a $500 stack and a $200K stack.
U kidding right? If you turn over ur hand right away when it's not your turn, you are both missing out on information on your opponent as well as giving the other regs information about you. Double L, enjoy a lower winrate.
@@timb4321 Wait, but in casino games the standard IS for the player who made the last bet to show first when called. Lucky could choose to just show his hand after Garret said 'nice hand,' but given he called Garret's bet he's definitely entitled to see Garrett's hand, and from what I could hear Garret asked him if he wanted to see before showing.
@@mikekrebs5598 understood. I interpreted the post I responded to as saying people in casinos overall should show their hands. In this specific case, Lucky shouldn't be punished because he chose not to slow-roll.
2:30 Nick explains poker etiquette, which is correct. BUT, Lucky put all that money to call him, he had every right wanting to see what his opponent put him all in for. That, my friends is information that you can use in the future. No way, would I ever let my opponent muck his hands even if he said “I’m good.”
@@skymanross is correct - Garrett could have mucked after he was called, it is not up to the opponent to "let" him. But he wanted to see the winning hand, so he had to show his. I really can't understand some of the other comments on this page, with some people getting riled because Garrett didn't show straight away, and others getting riled because Lucky didn't show straight away. There were no angles being played, no etiquette being ignored.
It’s funnier to me this spot because lucky thinks he actually will use any “info” Garrett gives by showing the AJ. Lucky is just a random whale that will always punt off to Garrett eventually
The problem is Garrett’s level is so high that players like Lucky don’t even consider those possibilities of blockers and nut possibilities from his opponents. Lucky is losing player in the long run. This is just a rare instance Garrett loses anyways, just variance.
Garrett is a complete pro. He's been around and knows that you are going to run into sessions like this and can flip the coin in the next session. No sense in being a jerk about it.
imagine being: a) a crusher b) extremely polite and cordial and great for the game c) someone who plays fundamentally sound but also uses speech play and is fun to watch hope the winnings stay high, Garrett!
Hahahaha. He accused a player of cheating, but he had zero evidence, so he made stuff up about the player and her friends and smeared all of them - with no evidence of cheating. He also made a scene, demanded his money back, embarrassed the casino… yeah, he’s a real gem of a guy.
I don't agree with the commentary on the poker etiquette rules about asking to see players hand after an announced "your good". F that....Lucky just made a huge payment for information. When I call off not knowing where I'm at, I want to know what my opponent is capable of for future use. I paid for it, I want to see it. Simple as that.. F the etiquette argument.
@@VState60 Regardless of Luckys brain, my comment wasn't to defend Luckys play...it was rather to call out the commentators comment on an etiquette that I think isn't right. Just because a player says "your good", which is another way of saying you caught me bluffing...I called you, I paid to see those cards regardless of the "your good" comment. I need that information for future use...I don't care what Lucky and his brain does with the information.
Please, everybody, pay attention to how Garrett acts at 2:00 when Lucky asks to see Garrett's (losing) hand even though Lucky had the nuts. Yes, it's considered bad etiquette and poor form, but a guy like Lucky is somebody you WANT at a table. Don't get all huffy and start trying to shame or condone the fun player about etiquette like you're Phil Hellmuth. Say "Nice hand", tap the table, and move on.
I don't know who decided it's bad etiquette to ask to see your opponent's hand when you call them. The winner always has to show the winning hand at showdown even if the opponent mucks. And I've specifically called players' bets on the river in part to see their cards. I don't understand why this is so offensive
@@TitusObbayi False. In most card rooms, if the first player mucks, the other player can scoop the pot without showing. However, if someone asks to see the winning hand the dealer might flip it over at that point, depending on the card room.
First of all it wasn't the nuts there is a flush possibility as you can see. I think the guy irritated by Garrelt's classic show your stack move twice in a row, which i don't like either.
It was hard watching that last hand vs lucky! Garrett was getting hit by the deck that whole session. I was feeling so bad for him by the end of it but that last hand you could really see how draining it was getting for him. Props to him for his fortitude. Never seen him tilt, at least not like I’d tilt, even when he’s running so bad you’d think he pissed off a gypsy
People talk about how Garrett acts well, while ignoring the fact that he coolers people with a ridiculously high frequency all the time. If I’m running as good as he is, I’ll be the nicest person you know.
garrett's one of the most famous poker players on the internet rn. therefore clips of him beating lesser known players get more views "garrett adelstein highlights". therefore we see more clips of garret coolering than getting coolered. i could be wrong but there's definitely enough hours of him playing on livestreams that an analysis of his luck would be pretty conclusive.
Garrett had a really rough day and any poker player (recreational or pro) knows how bad it feels to lose over and over again to the same guy,. That feeling to pay him off just to be sure you`re not bluffed is excruciating but his demeanor at the table, his instincts puts him light years above that guy. I will put my money in front of him to play on my behalf any day, any hour without hesitation.
2:40 when you're playing for this much money against professional players on a stream, I think it is uncalled for to ask to see cards, but, in a high stakes game not on a stream, the info you get from seeing what they bluffed with and raised with preflop and all the action that goes with it is very valuable.
Lol this etiquette thing about not making your opponent show their cards. If Garret keeps wanting to see my stack then I'm gonna want to see the cards he's bluffing me with!
@@baseball17771 "if u can't figure out their bluff range..." naw sir..what? How u gonna figure it if u never see opponents bluff range..good on Lucky to want Garrett to show..obviously the reason why Garrett would rather not show..so, yeah...no
I'm with you. But, I take it a bit further. This particular rule of etiquette is a joke. If you say my hand is good and then insist on seeing my hand before you muck your cards, I owe you nothing. Either say nice hand and muck or flip your cards over. Otherwise, I'm the only one giving information.
What a class act! Insta-call and Garrett says, respectfully, you win. Lucky shrugs and Garrett asks "Do you want to see my hand?" even though there was no need. He can just muck and let Lucky have the pot. Also, Lucky should really just show his hand and take the pot and not ask Garrett to show his hand. But he waits for Garrett to show, who does and then Lucky announces "Straight"! Really, how many etiquette rules can one man break and how many can another handle? Reminds me of another hand where another guy rivers a full house, Garett puts him all in and he takes forever to call. Can easily be considered a slow roll. But Garrett says later - Yes, I know you are very careful with your calls, no matter how strong your hand is and so you do you, I have no problem. Absolutely love Garrett's attitude to the game.
GA handles it like a true Pro. Dont see a person handle losses like that very often. Im sure, however, he has delivered beats to his opponents just as often.
WOW! He absolutely steam rolled him! I know everything was going right for him [Lucky] and he appears to be on one hell of a heater, however, man did he just mess with Garrett's mind. He played it so well. Lucky was talking a lot, eating, tipping people and then all of the sudden stoic, a statue. Each time, he had it, too. So with the exact same insouciance, he would play the nuts perfectly, for his style. As his quick betting coincides perfectly with his physical responses. He avoided giving Garrett even a droplet of information and hard to press him for a tell. The smug demeanor, too.. just crazy entertaining to watch! It was almost painful to watch and really getting Garrett to a place and frame of mind that I have never seen before. Great content. No one is infallible in poker, obviously. It just shows the cruelest side to poker here. Not to discount Lucky out playing G, though. As I really think he did, here.
Garrett said “You win,” but he held on to his cards and even looked back at them in case he misread it. If he had wanted to avoid showing, he could have mucked when he got called. No faux pas by Lucky there.
It's even worse etiquette for Garrett to not either show it or muck it. Saying "you're good", "good call", "you win", or anything similar, to avoid showing, is slimy. You've been called. Someone just paid to see your cards. If you instamuck your cards, I'm fine with that. But don't sit there holding a live hand expecting me to show first, when I called you. Not to mention, that I've seen that used to shoot an angle a few times too many, where they miraculously have AA when I show top pair. Then they say "Oh, I didn't think you'd call with less than two pair." Nope, when I call you, I'm NEVER EVER EVER showing first while your hand is still live. That's not how poker works, regardless of what Ann Landers says.
@@EfficientRVer the only difference is this is Garrett and not some miserable 1/2 player. And let’s be real, Lucky isn’t some deep thinking pro. Him seeing Garrett’s hand isn’t gonna be some valuable info he can use later. Especially since the game is streamed. Just scoop the pot man
It's actually poor poker etiquette to bluff and expect your caller to always show even when you get caught. It's obnoxious and unfair to favor certain players at the table just because of their reputation. Garrett can always muck his hand if he wants to hide what he was bluffing with. Garrett is the one that actually is getting all the information otherwise.
@@markk2254 if you think saying “you got it” is bad etiquette or an angle i guess the majority of the poker players are wrong and you’re right. It was also annoying the way Lucky acted at the end making Garrett show and then acting surprised and showing an obviously winning hand saying “oh, straight!” I guarantee if the roles were switched Garrett shows his hand and scoops the pot
I've has sessions like this at 3/5 that just made my head explode. 2 of them I had to get up and leave the table because I was so steamed. Nothing makes your head explode with a player cold calls a bet and raise in front of them not closing the action with 2 unsuited overs and a backdoor getting there by the river.
Bart Hanson is one of the best Commentators, especially if you listen to his inflections. e.g. 10:19 "🤔🤔🤔And Lucky's in there with Jack-Nine of Hearts 🤔🤔🤔"
eating is a sign of strength at the poker table. Remember that asian dude that flopped the straight vs top set and was eating while chilling comfortably all in.
Not gonna lie but this was one of the most satisfying moments. Garrett and other pros are so notorious about not giving an edge/info. The man called to see your hand. It's either open or muck. Garrett opened. End of discussion.
Lol, The Playmaker definitely the biggest fish at any poker table. Making all the wrong plays, and feels satisfied over a poker video of someone else winning or losing. Smh
He didn't call to see his hand 🤣🤦. The guy called because he had the effective nuts. Making Garrett show his hand is just ridiculous. There's a reason why GOOD players (like Garrett) don't make people expose their losing hands
This is such a bad comment. Garret makes it known in every game he plays in that if he calls and the opponent doesn't want to show he ALWAYS turns his hand over first
6:35 Someone please tell me the best way to play Kings. I seem to always end up in a tough spot with Kings. Its so hard to keep folding to the same guy over and over when you have a good hand but your gut knows you're beat.
I love how all of these stupid etiquette rules about how you can't look at the Players hand after you win when the rules say you can. Especially if you're up against someone who is much better than you and you're trying to get some information for the future. I understand it if you were playing against some kind of recreational player and you're not trying to destroy the game. About to make that comment after he looks like a car to get some dry you the information which is smart against extremely strong player he'd be stupid not to
Lucky needs to add a DECEPTION to his game. He is easy to read when he's got a strong hand. You can't fake that level of confidence and certainty. I've seen him bluff, quite a few times, but his bluffs don't project THAT level of "Ship It."
Lol that KK hand was probably the most obvious tell I've ever seen from Lucky. Insta raise to 50k and then start turning around and eating French fries from a plate while telling Garrett that he is okay with whatever happens.
I agree with the etiquette, but also if somebody says "you're good" after getting called, either muck it or show, don't keep the cards after and triple check.
This is an advantage that garret has over Andy. Handles the frustration by talking about it. Andy will never show an emotion or frustration but he tilts very bad inside. Then in a game you may think it is an aggression but it is a frustration.
All of the commenters always talk about how it is poor etiquette to ask to see what a players cards are when they bet and get called and say you're good. Screw that if he doesn't want to show his cards then he shouldn't bet. If I pay to call his bet , etiquette be damned , I paid to see his cards meaning I paid for the information.

I really can't understand some of the other comments on this page, with some people getting riled because Garrett didn't show straight away, and others getting riled because Lucky didn't show straight away. There were no angles being played, no etiquette being ignored.
It’s funnier to me this spot because lucky thinks he actually will use any “info” Garrett gives by showing the AJ. Lucky is just a random whale that will always punt off to Garrett eventually
Excellent footage, not because Garret is losing, but 100% table talk and 100% commentary. Keep it up guys!
I like watching him lose as his table etiquette is just an act. He’s always angling and trying to trip people up.
The problem is Garrett’s level is so high that players like Lucky don’t even consider those possibilities of blockers and nut possibilities from his opponents. Lucky is losing player in the long run. This is just a rare instance Garrett loses anyways, just variance.
Yeah I feel like this is sort of a problem with letting amateurs at high stakes tables. If I was a pro, I would never play with amateurs, too much BS.
Ametuers are needed to keep good games running. They’re the fish that’s needed to feed the sharks.
@@dannygibson2597 You're joking, right?
2:14 I really like Garrett because he is so polite. "You win. You wanna see my hand?" and show his hand... Gentle...
Garrett is a complete pro. He's been around and knows that you are going to run into sessions like this and can flip the coin in the next session. No sense in being a jerk about it.
Everyone: why is this guy called 'Lucky'?
Lucky:
maybe he earned that nickname in the slammer
Watched this stream live and couldn't believe a guy named Lucky was so freakin lucky.
imagine being:
a) a crusher
b) extremely polite and cordial and great for the game
c) someone who plays fundamentally sound but also uses speech play and is fun to watch
hope the winnings stay high, Garrett!
Never really see garret using speech play. He does talk out loud a lot when he’s in a tough spot and there’s no more action behind him.
Hahahaha. He accused a player of cheating, but he had zero evidence, so he made stuff up about the player and her friends and smeared all of them - with no evidence of cheating. He also made a scene, demanded his money back, embarrassed the casino… yeah, he’s a real gem of a guy.
Garret saved a ton of cash with those lay downs.. good day on his part even though he didn’t win.
I don't agree with the commentary on the poker etiquette rules about asking to see players hand after an announced "your good". F that....Lucky just made a huge payment for information. When I call off not knowing where I'm at, I want to know what my opponent is capable of for future use. I paid for it, I want to see it. Simple as that..
F the etiquette argument.
Lucky doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together-info does zero for him in the future.
@@VState60 Regardless of Luckys brain, my comment wasn't to defend Luckys play...it was rather to call out the commentators comment on an etiquette that I think isn't right. Just because a player says "your good", which is another way of saying you caught me bluffing...I called you, I paid to see those cards regardless of the "your good" comment. I need that information for future use...I don't care what Lucky and his brain does with the information.
Please, everybody, pay attention to how Garrett acts at 2:00 when Lucky asks to see Garrett's (losing) hand even though Lucky had the nuts. Yes, it's considered bad etiquette and poor form, but a guy like Lucky is somebody you WANT at a table. Don't get all huffy and start trying to shame or condone the fun player about etiquette like you're Phil Hellmuth. Say "Nice hand", tap the table, and move on.
I don't know who decided it's bad etiquette to ask to see your opponent's hand when you call them. The winner always has to show the winning hand at showdown even if the opponent mucks. And I've specifically called players' bets on the river in part to see their cards. I don't understand why this is so offensive
@@TitusObbayi False. In most card rooms, if the first player mucks, the other player can scoop the pot without showing. However, if someone asks to see the winning hand the dealer might flip it over at that point, depending on the card room.
First of all it wasn't the nuts there is a flush possibility as you can see. I think the guy irritated by Garrelt's classic show your stack move twice in a row, which i don't like either.
It was hard watching that last hand vs lucky! Garrett was getting hit by the deck that whole session. I was feeling so bad for him by the end of it but that last hand you could really see how draining it was getting for him. Props to him for his fortitude. Never seen him tilt, at least not like I’d tilt, even when he’s running so bad you’d think he pissed off a gypsy
Actually Lucky was getting hit with the deck. Getting hit by the deck means a good thing not bad
@@seankiesling2054 my idea is you call it getting spanked by the deck when it’s bad.
People talk about how Garrett acts well, while ignoring the fact that he coolers people with a ridiculously high frequency all the time. If I’m running as good as he is, I’ll be the nicest person you know.
garrett's one of the most famous poker players on the internet rn. therefore clips of him beating lesser known players get more views "garrett adelstein highlights". therefore we see more clips of garret coolering than getting coolered.
i could be wrong but there's definitely enough hours of him playing on livestreams that an analysis of his luck would be pretty conclusive.
@@ts4gv yeah, which is he overtakes more often than probability would suggest
Garret face after the first lose was so heartbreaking.When the guy asked showing he was so embarrassed to show how lucky he was
Garrett and Trick Time at TCH have to be two of my favourite players to watch these days.
Lol Trick Time is so far below Garrett
Trick time is horrible. The reg fish who can’t fold and overplays his hands. Trick time is trash
@@hellohi4556 And now trick time is MIA
@@aloofmeatloaf1467 maybe the fish stopped his heater.
Bad players have to win sometimes, and I enjoy seeing Garrett get wrecked.
Garrett had a really rough day and any poker player (recreational or pro) knows how bad it feels to lose over and over again to the same guy,. That feeling to pay him off just to be sure you`re not bluffed is excruciating but his demeanor at the table, his instincts puts him light years above that guy. I will put my money in front of him to play on my behalf any day, any hour without hesitation.
It’s a little comforting to see Garrett run into it like a mere mortal. Seems like he plays and runs like a god just about every other time.
I wish Ryan would let you commentate from Texas. You & Nick make a nice contrast in booth. I'm thankful for the times u are in LA. 👍👊
Damn.. this dude just straight WRECKED Garrett
Lucky had some skills yep, simply pumped out the cash
Can you re-post the video that Hustler made private?
Love the way he keeps his cool🙌🏼
2:40 when you're playing for this much money against professional players on a stream, I think it is uncalled for to ask to see cards, but, in a high stakes game not on a stream, the info you get from seeing what they bluffed with and raised with preflop and all the action that goes with it is very valuable.
Exactly. He can always watch the stream after. I guess he wanted the info to adjust his game in real time.
Lucky is the biggest clown, “I just wanted to see for information in the future”🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol this etiquette thing about not making your opponent show their cards. If Garret keeps wanting to see my stack then I'm gonna want to see the cards he's bluffing me with!
Lol. Yessir.. After Garrett asks to see stack again when nothing changed, I call that an angle
At the end of the day it’s bad form. If you can’t figure out what their bluff range is then you’re just a lucky fish.
@@baseball17771 "if u can't figure out their bluff range..." naw sir..what? How u gonna figure it if u never see opponents bluff range..good on Lucky to want Garrett to show..obviously the reason why Garrett would rather not show..so, yeah...no
Exactly!!! Idk why everyone else is ignoring what he did
I'm with you. But, I take it a bit further. This particular rule of etiquette is a joke. If you say my hand is good and then insist on seeing my hand before you muck your cards, I owe you nothing.
Either say nice hand and muck or flip your cards over.
Otherwise, I'm the only one giving information.
I like when Garrett loses, he shows me how professional he is.
What a class act! Insta-call and Garrett says, respectfully, you win. Lucky shrugs and Garrett asks "Do you want to see my hand?" even though there was no need. He can just muck and let Lucky have the pot. Also, Lucky should really just show his hand and take the pot and not ask Garrett to show his hand. But he waits for Garrett to show, who does and then Lucky announces "Straight"! Really, how many etiquette rules can one man break and how many can another handle?
Reminds me of another hand where another guy rivers a full house, Garett puts him all in and he takes forever to call. Can easily be considered a slow roll. But Garrett says later - Yes, I know you are very careful with your calls, no matter how strong your hand is and so you do you, I have no problem. Absolutely love Garrett's attitude to the game.
Not exactly. If Garrett mucks he doesn't get to see Lucky's hand. Lucky can simply take the pot and muck his cards as well.
how much did lucky tip on that first pot? im curious what you tip on a 200k pot
GA handles it like a true Pro. Dont see a person handle losses like that very often. Im sure, however, he has delivered beats to his opponents just as often.
probably more often
Lucky must’ve felt like Mike Postle to Garrett
Ok Garrett is losing a lot of hands, but we are here for him, right? No problem, you're the best Garrett!
As good as Garrett, he can't beat lucky like everyone else.
Them: “Dylan’s pretty quiet.”
Me: Re-notices Dylan’s shirt
Yoooo lmaaaao
WOW! He absolutely steam rolled him! I know everything was going right for him [Lucky] and he appears to be on one hell of a heater, however, man did he just mess with Garrett's mind. He played it so well.
Lucky was talking a lot, eating, tipping people and then all of the sudden stoic, a statue. Each time, he had it, too. So with the exact same insouciance, he would play the nuts perfectly, for his style. As his quick betting coincides perfectly with his physical responses. He avoided giving Garrett even a droplet of information and hard to press him for a tell.
The smug demeanor, too.. just crazy entertaining to watch!
It was almost painful to watch and really getting Garrett to a place and frame of mind that I have never seen before. Great content. No one is infallible in poker, obviously. It just shows the cruelest side to poker here. Not to discount Lucky out playing G, though. As I really think he did, here.
what's the buy in?
Love how Garrett treats the recreation fish at the tables.
Garrett is my new favorite poker player! What a class act! And a great player.
Now with the new video and all the talk about the time banking and stuff, I’m re-watching these videos and I can see what’s going on. 😂
The guy had it everytime. Can't beat the ultimate rush.
Garrett the goat. Lucky missed a lot of value on some of those hands.
Don't you think he should have checked top set in that JJ vs Qs8s hand? I would have done. If G had 7s6s, so be it.
Disagree
Goat?? lol...
Thanks for the zontent Bart
Garrett said “You win,” but he held on to his cards and even looked back at them in case he misread it. If he had wanted to avoid showing, he could have mucked when he got called. No faux pas by Lucky there.
I totally agree. If you got caught bluffing, muck the hand to avoid showing.
Not great etiquette making Garrett show. Especially when the game is on stream and u can just watch later
It's even worse etiquette for Garrett to not either show it or muck it.
Saying "you're good", "good call", "you win", or anything similar, to avoid showing, is slimy. You've been called. Someone just paid to see your cards. If you instamuck your cards, I'm fine with that. But don't sit there holding a live hand expecting me to show first, when I called you.
Not to mention, that I've seen that used to shoot an angle a few times too many, where they miraculously have AA when I show top pair. Then they say "Oh, I didn't think you'd call with less than two pair." Nope, when I call you, I'm NEVER EVER EVER showing first while your hand is still live. That's not how poker works, regardless of what Ann Landers says.
@@EfficientRVer the only difference is this is Garrett and not some miserable 1/2 player. And let’s be real, Lucky isn’t some deep thinking pro. Him seeing Garrett’s hand isn’t gonna be some valuable info he can use later. Especially since the game is streamed. Just scoop the pot man
It's actually poor poker etiquette to bluff and expect your caller to always show even when you get caught. It's obnoxious and unfair to favor certain players at the table just because of their reputation. Garrett can always muck his hand if he wants to hide what he was bluffing with. Garrett is the one that actually is getting all the information otherwise.
@@markk2254 if you think saying “you got it” is bad etiquette or an angle i guess the majority of the poker players are wrong and you’re right. It was also annoying the way Lucky acted at the end making Garrett show and then acting surprised and showing an obviously winning hand saying “oh, straight!” I guarantee if the roles were switched Garrett shows his hand and scoops the pot
I've has sessions like this at 3/5 that just made my head explode. 2 of them I had to get up and leave the table because I was so steamed.
Nothing makes your head explode with a player cold calls a bet and raise in front of them not closing the action with 2 unsuited overs and a backdoor getting there by the river.
how about that 15 second stare down by Israeli Ron @ 10:58 - 11:13
Watch the whole stream. This was an unreal session.
Where does lucky get his money from, does anyone know?
This makes me feel better about losing $500 at 50NL seeing that a worldclass player makes mistakes and has bad days too.
Bart Hanson is one of the best Commentators, especially if you listen to his inflections. e.g. 10:19 "🤔🤔🤔And Lucky's in there with Jack-Nine of Hearts 🤔🤔🤔"
That's a completely standard defend.
He's not defending anything
When is Garret going to Texas?
Garret is a the definition of beautiful poker etiquette
This was so hard to watch cause I’m always rooting for Garrett.
eating is a sign of strength at the poker table. Remember that asian dude that flopped the straight vs top set and was eating while chilling comfortably all in.
Not gonna lie but this was one of the most satisfying moments. Garrett and other pros are so notorious about not giving an edge/info. The man called to see your hand. It's either open or muck. Garrett opened. End of discussion.
Lol, The Playmaker definitely the biggest fish at any poker table. Making all the wrong plays, and feels satisfied over a poker video of someone else winning or losing. Smh
He didn't call to see his hand 🤣🤦. The guy called because he had the effective nuts. Making Garrett show his hand is just ridiculous. There's a reason why GOOD players (like Garrett) don't make people expose their losing hands
This is such a bad comment. Garret makes it known in every game he plays in that if he calls and the opponent doesn't want to show he ALWAYS turns his hand over first
I have never seen a more casual comment. Cleary does not watch
@@tylerslenk8243 he had nuts on a board with 3 spades? lucky is just that, a luckbox. calling that pot with j10 off is asking for trouble.
respect how Garrett acts at the table
When a player is eating and chilling, he ain't bluffing.
Garrett Adelstein is a player who is a pleasure to watch 👌
Tipped the dealer $100? damn. Gotta get me a job as a high stakes dealer.
< 1% of what he just won off of g man lol
5:11 when you're in a hand the action is on you and someone's tapping you on the shoulder. Call me crazy but I fugn hate that. 🤪
6:35 Someone please tell me the best way to play Kings. I seem to always end up in a tough spot with Kings.
Its so hard to keep folding to the same guy over and over when you have a good hand but your gut knows you're beat.
Whatever you do, try avoid going to a flop with more than 3 players.
@@MitchM77 I agree with that. It's those situations when you're under the gun and you raise and 4 people flat. Lol. You know how it is.
Could someone tell me how much money a card dealer can earn in tips at these levels?
Hi what happened to G man last night
I think Garrett's least fav card by now must be the J clubs. I miss him at the table playing live.
Pretty standard variance, not that unlucky, especially the Q8 hand.
Very entertaining to watch real CLASS!!!
Credit to lucky great thing to say vs the kings when he said I’ll take the 15
This comforts me somehow seeing Gman could have a shitty day like this
I love how all of these stupid etiquette rules about how you can't look at the Players hand after you win when the rules say you can. Especially if you're up against someone who is much better than you and you're trying to get some information for the future. I understand it if you were playing against some kind of recreational player and you're not trying to destroy the game. About to make that comment after he looks like a car to get some dry you the information which is smart against extremely strong player he'd be stupid not to
that's exactly what I was thinking, Garrett wants every dime this guy has but its wrong to see his hands
I like how the guy was like “I just wanted to see for information for the future” the exact reason people muck lmao
Can someone explain why jamming as a bluff with air on the river is a good play
Great camera angle at 4:24 from Berkey’s POV
Win or lose Garrett is a class act
Lucky needs to add a DECEPTION to his game. He is easy to read when he's got a strong hand. You can't fake that level of confidence and certainty.
I've seen him bluff, quite a few times, but his bluffs don't project THAT level of "Ship It."
Dealers getting $100 tips? Wow
Last minute of this video is really rare footage of an EXTREMELY frustrated, helpless and defeated G.
Lol that KK hand was probably the most obvious tell I've ever seen from Lucky. Insta raise to 50k and then start turning around and eating French fries from a plate while telling Garrett that he is okay with whatever happens.
Indeed, when you don’t care what happens it’s usually nuts.
Could be a reverse tell that he was trying to pull off.
@@chemstudent4826 did he look like somebody intelligent enough to think about reverse tells?
Garret called in another hand when Lucky did something similar though...so
Probably one of the most intelligent high stakes players of all time.
Joy to watch
Yes Lucky is amazing. 😃 But putting the joke aside with Lucky I can really identify as a guy sitting at the tables doing his thing and getting lucky.
Garrett is a poker idol one of the best in the world respect
I agree with the etiquette, but also if somebody says "you're good" after getting called, either muck it or show, don't keep the cards after and triple check.
Garret and Lucky are polar opposites as far as table manners go
No wonder we haven't seen Garrett in a while.
Happened to me a lot before, some nights one person just has your number and there is nothing you can do aobut it
This is an advantage that garret has over Andy. Handles the frustration by talking about it. Andy will never show an emotion or frustration but he tilts very bad inside. Then in a game you may think it is an aggression but it is a frustration.
All of the commenters always talk about how it is poor etiquette to ask to see what a players cards are when they bet and get called and say you're good. Screw that if he doesn't want to show his cards then he shouldn't bet. If I pay to call his bet , etiquette be damned , I paid to see his cards meaning I paid for the information.
One of the few times I've seen G man run 😔. Ouch. Congrats to Lucky. He earned it
