Thanks for watching, all! ICYMI -- I'm sharing weekly poker deep dives and giving away my Poker Mindset Strategy ebook at: philgalfond.com/mindset-yt
You can get it all FREE. Enjoy!
More of these theoretically focused ones please!
Loved it
Imo, this is the perfect level of analysis, because it is in-depth from a logical standpoint, and we happen to know that the Phil's viewpoint is informed by not only experience, but solver study as well.
There are coaches who go too deep for my attention span when they actually start putting a solver on the screen and live adjusting for different variables. I'd rather watch those kinds of videos when I'm in deep study sessions.
For RUclips, I think this is the absolute best format
Llinus such a legend near any hour of the day i see him on N8 sitting on the nl100k tables just waiting for his next victim.
which sites?
N8 stands for natural 8. It's a online site in Asia.

Great video, I appreciate simultaneously the humility to acknowledge their strengths, but then also offering your opinion/choices in that spot. Very helpful and makes the video super informative.
Phil, whatever you do is very much appreciated
Just to put my vote in, I prefer this style of in-depth hand review where we get to learn theory. Would love to see it for PLO but that's understandably a much smaller audience, thanks Phil!
Still the best poker hand analysis videos on RUclips, always look forward to them
This is so great. I appreciate the flush blocker explanation. Also, the turn check vs bet explanation along with the ranges to bet.
Love it Phil. More of these. It's super helpful to hear how you think through hands.
very fun to watch keep them coming!
Great Lesson. I would be very happy to see more of this Videos. the most interesting thing for me to learn us which hands to pick for which action in order to balance the range properly.
thanks!
Great video! Great effort Phil, thank you!
So interesting ! I just love the way you explain and your analysis ! Yes, more of these, please :)
Keep them coming, we love high level plays.
I think a lot of us reaaaaaallyy enjoy the more in deep aproach to the analysis of the hand.
Thanks and keep them coming ;)
I really like your insigths and comments in these videos. And your laid back approach to talking about everything. Thank you - keep it up!
You are so welcome!
More like this please. Watching and listening to breakdowns like this one stretch my brain and help me in my game
What a lineup! More of these videos, please.
Love to see something more advanced. Great depth and analysis really interesting to see how these players play through these situations!
Love these keep them coming
Amazing video Phil! Thank you very much!
Great stuff Phil! Always a pleasure watching and learning from you. More of this theoretical stuff please :)
Another thing about betting the turn with the flush draw with the weak kicker is you get called by more flush draws which is what you want when you're in position.
Deeper thoughts are really clearly explained and for sure not boring.
More of these please.
This was an amazing video. Thank you Phil!
This was great! More like this please 🙏
Love this level of detail Phil 👍
Thanks for the content, really usefull, you're the GOAT!!
Another great video Phil. I like the variety you've been putting out lately of doing advanced and lower level hand breakdowns. Maybe having an advanced and a beginner section in the same video would be good too?
Perfect content Phil! Congrats!
More of these would be great
Really enjoyed hearing your personal breakdown of the applied logic. Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
That cash game line up was insane, all winners with contrasting game styles.
Agreed, it was super fun to watch.
How do I find that game?
@@Dmatafonov23874 should be on tritons youtube channel
Agreed, except Tony G is not a winner lol
Tony G may have an unorthodox style, but he's up $2.9m in televised and streamed cash games. It wouldn't surprise me if he's also made a ton in private games (given his connections).
Thank you, I love deep analysis!
More like this, please. Go for it, Mr. Galfond. Thanks a lot! Have a nice one 😎
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching!
enjoyed it Phil, the higher level stuff the better
What an excellent breakdown. Thank you so much for the content you put out! I dream of one day doing a hand breakdown with you 😂
I loved this one i think it is perfect balance between being theoretically focused and easy to understand and still entertaining
"You're too tight, you'll just be a poker player" the levels of this rings so true. This is how the "businessmen" dont need to grind to play these levels, they take calculated risks and are worth 100x these pros.
Only great comment I've heard from TonyG, ever.
4:00 it could very well be that linus does a mix of checking and betting with the nut flush draw. But he has the polarisation advantage and as you pointed out theres fold equity to betting a hand like A8s so idk. I havent examined solver turn outputs much
Would love more vids like this. PH has the best breakdowns! Cool dude and chill demeanor.
Keep the advanced content coming Phil!
very educational thanks
Hey Phil great video. It's a really good one on theory especially if you've looked at a solver where the blockers matter less than the line taken.
Great analysis! I also think Linus's check on the turn helped Ike make the call on the river. Most often nut flush draws bet big on the turn. That could have helped Ike to think he is up against Ad bluff.
Yes! More of these please :)
Amazing video format. PLease more of this 10 min one live hand analisys. SUPER COOL!
Hey Phil! Huge fan! Would you consider making a video that offers a checklist of things you consider when facing a poker decision ? I’m guessing it’s something along the lines of … 1. What are my theoretical options in this spot? 2. What exploitative adjustments should I make based on what I know about my opponents?
This would offer a really helpful baseline model for making decisions. I think a lot of people, myself included, make a lot of decisions based on feelings/intuition/limited logical understanding of the game. Would greatly appreciate a reliable mental checklist to work through, for real time play and review.
Thank you
What about 3b shove by ike on the river since he has J6s,J3s,J2s(6combos) in range. What hand would you pick?
You say Linus is never checking back a set on the turn, however I do believe at some frequency it is correct to check back nutted hands. If he never checks back a set or a nutted hand then his range on the river after checking turn isn't going to contain enough strong hands, it protects him for when Ike blasts the river, and perhaps gets some value from hands that feel compelled to bluff once he checks the turn. I'm no pro, this is just how I see this spot. I believe someone as good as Linus is going to be finding those check backs with nutted hands.
please keep on coming the more theoretical approach videos! thanks for the lesson
Excellent video. I thought KJ with K of diamonds was a crystal clear call here, but you’ve forced me to reconsider.
Side note - this table is totally stacked. Why any of them would have agreed to play in this game is beyond me, but at least it makes for some great poker content 😅
Loved this one
I would LOVE to see more of these hands analyses Phil. This is invaluable stuff 💛
I absolutely agree that the K of diamonds is not as good of a blocker as it seems at first glance. Given that Linus' range is polarized and you essentially have a bluff catcher, having the K of diamonds is a real mehhh.
I agree. I can't see a reason for the call really. Looks like a bluff catcher. I mean you have to think your opponent is bluffing for whatever reason. There could be some deep analysis behind it. If anyone has a better reason for the call let me know.
Without the Kd do you think a 3b bluff on the river from Ike would be good? In your analysis you said Linus has very few full houses, maybe slow playing JJ, but with the J that then becomes impossible. Maybe a bit suicidal if Linus doesn't have enough back though.
Yeah against a theoretically sound player, the stack to pot ratio seems too low to turn this into a bluff. You’d be laying about 2:1 which for a player like Linus generally just means fold all your bluffs and call all your value hands since otherwise you can’t meet minimum defence frequency.
I had the same question. I ran a little sim in gtow ai and haxton’s combo is three way indifferent - can raise, call, or fold in one sim and in another it mostly calls but folds a sliver. It all depends on the sizings Linus would use on turn for how many foldable flush combos get to the river raise node. But either way he needs a bluff raise if he is raising for value, so hands like this are good for it.
Good eye.
Btw their sizings are spot on when they bet
“It all depends on the sizing Linus would use…to get to the river raise node.”
Would you be kind enough to explain what you mean by this?
@@TheGillenium what size Linus would have used on the turn determines how his checking range is constructed. If I give him a medium size he’s betting more flush draws. If I give him a huge sizing he’s checking more of them.
So when he faces a bet on the river, his raising range can have more strong flushes in it (if he was betting the turn bigger) or fewer (if he was betting the turn smaller). That changes the value of Haxton’s Kd blocker.
@@mattsandel I guess I’m confused because Linus checked on the turn…so what does that say? I’m looking at it from haxtons point of view, am I wrong to be doing that? Sorry I’m new to some of the theory stuff
I love how Phil has my book from 2011 on his shelf
Phil your contents been kinda goated here recently
love this level of content
Great vid well done Phil
Thank you!
Who was Tony G talking to at the start of the video?
Another great video!
Tony: "You've got to give some action"
Dealer: *Hold my river card*
Keep doing these Phil 👌
More videos like this plz
Hi Phil, just wanted to clarify what you mentioned about the Kd being a card that blocks some of Linus' bluffs (Ad, Kd). But doesn't the Kd also block Linus' value range (AKdd, AQdd,KTdd)? In this case, how should we think about it? Is it better that we block a big part of his value range, or is it worse because we block a big part of his bluffing range?
Phil you seem like a good guy. Very down to Earth. I enjoy your videos
I LOVE these types of videos Phil!
Jx is probably too thin to raise on river due to 80% sizing right? With small bet + raise from linus would prob be leveled more into calling due to thinking opponents value range contains hands that are worse than yours
I don't even play but I really enjoy thinking through these hands, and hearing a pro's analysis. Keep them coming! The only thing I personally dislike is spending a ton of time in a video looking at solver output. The reason is, I can look at it too - what I can't get on my own is the actual analysis.
Amazing vid!
Thank you!
I think that this is an absolutely fantastic video. I love the graphics as well. I do, however, like the idea of maybe talking about what Ike would do if he had 66 or 33 or 22. Are those -always- going to be 3-bet shoves on the river, assuming all other action is identical? Or is 66 the only shove, based on the assumption that all flushes would fold and only quad jacks or other boats can call?
I have no idea why check-calling the flop with KJ high in this spot (heads up, out of position with a single diamond in his hand) is a close decision. To me, it's s snap fold and that's it...
Very nice Video!
Thank you so much for watching!
The reasoning from about 7:45 to 8:20 seems somewhat convoluted to me, where you discuss holding the King of diamonds in a missed flush.
I am not sure that I would think it *more* likely that I was being bluffed if I held a different (lower) diamond in that situation.
So it’s because a lot of Linus’s bluff raises in this spot are going to come from checked back off suit A and K high hands with one diamond, AxKd, AdKx, AdQx, KdQx, etc., so holding the Kd oop blocks those bluff raise combos, whereas a 8-Jd may not block those as frequently because the hands containing those would have less SDV
More like this! Especially appreciate hearing how you would think about the hand yourself. Basic concepts behind GTO are usually more important than actual 'correct' play for any given situation.
Great video. More of this.
Linus, Haxton, Jungle and even Tony G. Fun table.
It's the "I'm blocking the King high flush but I'm also blocking his AxKh type of bluffs" situation
I would love to see more theoretically focused ones.
Could you do a video on the losers in poker? It’s always baffled me how there are so many multi million winners, how does the money end up trickling up to them?
A lot of poker players cashes investment money from the stock market.
More plz
Yes I am interested in this type of content, the expert analysis of these kind of very hard and very high players is an education
Why half pot vs strad defend on that board?
More would be great. Could you also do a lot of these with plo please
I'd love to film more PLO ones, let's see what I can do! 😊
Just in case you missed it, I did one PLO-themed video in this same format a while back:
ruclips.net/video/J1j2hkyEOTI/видео.html
More like this Phil!
That table is fucking crazy you got Linus, Haxton and Jungleman all 3 of them monsters of the game.
and mikita, trueteller are also the end bosses
Keep in your pants
@@user-sm5li9ur9sto be honest. Being mikita an amazing player (especially on tournaments) I don't think when it comes to cash is as good as the other 4 mentioned .
Don't you feel the Power baby? Tony G was the Real Boss there 🔥
@@barygol he's better nlhe cash game than haxton
Thanks Phil: Agreed with the other comments. There are lots of 'fun' hands here on RUclips,. The viewer may find them entertaining but does not learn anything. Even though I don't play at that level, the theory discussion at least opens my eyes to it.
More like this please
I want to see more theoretical hand reviews with Linus etc
interesting Thx!
"I don't think you can have two pair pre-flop really."
Me neither.
Your turn examples of Ike's floats of ATcc and A9cc would have picked up a flush draw on the turn, so are continuing with a call or check/raise, so betting A8dd makes less sense on the Jc than on, say, the Js or Jh.
Any plans to play in games like this yourself?
Linus doesn’t have any boats here after that check on the turn, the play for Haxon is to go all in as this is a clear A high flush or a bluff.
Linus knows that Haxton will be aware that he doesn't have boats in his range when he checks back turn, so he needs to call his A high flushes a bunch of the time. Also, its unlikely Haxton has a boat either since he check called the flop.
You think Linus folds given the stack sizes, also knowing that he doesn't likely have full houses given how it was played? It's a gutsy play, but I don't know if it's good one given how it was played. If the stacks were bigger it would have a better chance of working.
Phil these are great, one idea for a video is your thought process without seeing the villains cards!
You could go even deeper into theorie if u like to ;-)
If Ike is b/c this size on the river with KJ. What of his value hands is he b/f? Is he betting all the low PP's? If not, he may be overcalling. But like u said, they are the Wizards 😋
good stuff
Nice deep vidéo Phil !
nice analysis Phil
Thank you 😊
