Hey Doug, love your videos, but i think a better question to asked is What Chidwick calling Bryn Kenney with? Instead of what is calling this jam? By narrowing down Chidwick hand, and if hes also a type of player to make strong laydown or if hes a sticky player, we can make a play. Chidwick for sure don't have a full house, i believe a full house would raise. Plus a full house would mean Chidwick had two pairs or a set, and both of those hands are rarely checking back twice, you tend to protect those hands more by betting draws. Especially the turn. So no full house and definitely not the nut flush, cause we hold the A clubs, so he is at best holding K hing flush. Should we make a play? In this situation YES, because he check backed twice with a made flush, so he is a very cautious player. We now know he is cautious with a K high flush at best, yes a jam would be a good play. This jam also piggyback off Bryn Kenny (who made this play possible by raising) value. The hand now seems twice or 3x as strong cause it is jam on the river after a raise and a call, a bluff almost seems silly. I love this play and will also try to find spots in my game to bluff jam off a cautious player and someone who raise me just because he thinks im bluffing and not actually has a hand himself
One of the biggest things you have to remember in hold'em is if you play your hand in a weird way that it can cause people to either think that they have the best hand when they don't or that they can get away with a bluff cuz it just feels like no one has anything. This is one of best reasons to underrep your hand sometimes, but you have to ultimately make the call.
Agreed. Underrepping your hand is dangerous if you don't call a bit more later in the hand as you are inviting more bluffs. I realised that this is dangerous so I now either bet more often or call down a bit lighter.
Pretty funny that 2 of these players have now made the final 4. Honestly thought Chidwick would go on a Chip spiral after this hand... how wrong I was!
Josh hmm maybe it's because I play cash. I find when you get bluffed off a 'big spot' like this, you then run terribly. Like if you get it in QQ vs AK they will hit the A or K. Or QQ vs JJ they will spike the Jack.. I just find you start taking a number of hits

It's the nuts with how the action played out. Even a straight flush puts some money in at some point earlier 99.9% of the time. So the only reputable nut hand is some blind hand which is what Trickett is repping. He is also blocking the only flush hand that would call (nut flush)

@@DougPolkPoker There was one hand on High Stakes Poker season 5 or 6 where Eli Elezra called a river bluff with ace high and dwan folded a counterfeited 2 pair behind him. That's a real bluff call!
the problem with setting up a trap like this is sometimes it backfires on your mentality that one of the opponents may have been doing the same exact thing and waiting for the moment. The beautiful thing about poker is you always have to consider putting yourself in your opponents place. There is really no right decisions like the wiseasses are saying in the comments saying : I would have done this" and whatever stuff. It always take a bit of a gamble in the end.
I realllllly am not a huge fan all the time of using card removal/blockers to have a big influence on your decision making because just because you block someone from having a certain hand DEFINITELY does not mean they don't have that hand. Often times they can even if you block. Onto this hand though, Sam made an amazing play I feel albeit extremely gutsy. Both of his cards are actually blocking big hands The nut flush and his Jack is blocking Jacks full so he can be pretty certain neither player has that. I think that he might feel even if one of his opponents has a full house, are they going to call off that many chips in a MASSIVE money tournament like this? I'm not sure if that was his thinking but I applaud his intelligence if it was. In the moment i'm not really able to make deep removal and thoughts like this. Great play.
I play mostly online, thus I'm not really in the live tell side of things. But, Sam's facial expression at 10:50-10:53 gives so much intel that he is bluffing. *Note that this doesn't mean that I would have called*
Shouldn't Chidwick be calling here? He completely underrepped his hand and still would've had half his stack to play on. Are both players really going to double check a 2 pair or set on the turn? The only thing that can trap 2 streets out of position is flopping the straight flush, am I wrong here?
if Trickett had A 2 of clubs, could he have taken the same line? Trapped two streets then jammed, but the 16k bet then is a little strange...dunno, why the shot clock makes things interesting, that's a huge amount to risk on a middling flush in the moment
Never use the world should in poker though. And Chidwick double checked back flopped flush so for sure double checking 2p and sets is in both Bryn's and Trickett's arsenal some % of time.
@@deathmetalalchemist5861 I think Chidwick is thinking, why would he check two streets in a very small pot, then bets small on the river and jams after a raise and a call without the nuts? Tricket basically didnt invest that much in this pot, so why would he bluff shove with less than a J high flush. That's why this bluff is pretty good imo
@@AnyDeuce thanks, probably what Chidwick thought, but why would Trickett bet so small on the river if he has the nuts...wouldn't he at least bet 1/2 pot?
12:43 I think what's interesting though is Chicwick's call. Would he really have just called with a boat? Surely he would have bet? That's what makes Trickett's play good imo. The Call bu Chidwick seems like weakness.
Why would quads and boats even be factored into Kenneys range on the river. Wouldn’t sets and straights bet the turn there given the board texture? He’s only repping a strong flopped flush. Correct me if I’m wrong.
That call was terrible he was stone bottom of range without any relevant blockers to value combinations. Arguably he should fold the turn too. Unless of course he think either: Villain is over-bluffing Villain is acting in a way that is indicative he is bluffing (a live read.) It's pretty difficult to over bluff this spot given the fact Raj can have 32 straight combos as well as a ton of 2 pairs/sets/strong top pairs. So either its the latter option or he just makes a very bad call cos he doesn't wanna get bluffed again, and gets lucky by running in to the bluffing region.
Love this week of hand analysis. Think the jack blocker might have indicated a call was possible at least some of the time? Please look at the Hero Call Antonious hand!
Ac is key because Chidwick has a face up flush. IMO he does not need to worry about protecting his range given the BBs polarizing >5x raise and Jd is kind of neat since it blocks the BBs stronger boats (1xJ7s or maybe even occasionally 1xJ7o). He cannot have A7, A4 or A3 with Ac either so this actually seems like the very best candidate for bluffing in this multi-player-spot Interesting question then is: Does a jam from Tricket make money assuming calling with a flush is profitable for Chidwick and knowing Chidwick is capped and will probably fold.
The reason Chadwick does not need to worry about protecting his range being that Tricket cannot jam thinly for value against the BBs range. He is forced to call with the majority of even his strong hands which should guarantee Chadwick a frequent showdown after calling with boils his decision down to: 'Is my hand good here often enough' rather than 'Is my hand here good often enough and how do I continue (range-wise) when facing another raise'
Really interesting discussion and hand... I think you can get away with this most in the earlier levels of a high buy in no rebuy tournament. Especially if you really know the players, as these guys likely do. Can't pull this against anyone at random, but if you think the opponent is on the thinking side and will stop before calling off while saying "I flopped it! If he's got me, he's got me!" then and only then can this be profitable. I disagree about not doing this in a low stakes game. You find the guy who hates "players like you" and always loves to think the worst, that the opponent always has the hand that beats you, then you can try it then as well, maybe. Again, know the players.
I've started calling these great hands (high flushes +) on the river most of the times. It's working pretty good so far, though I got destroyed by quads once hahaha
That's why I don't ever slowplay unless I know the guy is an aggro maniac who will bet 100% of the time. I might be losing some value against the regs but you avoid this kind of shit happening
Doug didn't mention J7d or J7h at all. Trickett is definitely capable of having those even though he called in the small blind but they make complete sense the way the hand played out.
Trickett's hand blocked the nut flush and top boat...My guess is that was his reasoning, and he put Chidwick on a flush, as opposed to a set, given that he checked in position until calling on the river.
Yes a normal tourny with bad regs would call, this is a million buy in you don't have fools that just guess their opponent is bluffing...Most rich people are smart by a 2x standard deviation.
Bets as small as Trickett's with a value hand which can also re-raise all in for value are extremely rare. Betting so small is leaving money on the table for a value hand of supposedly such high value. Trickett isn't one to leave money on the table and so Chidwick has a clear call.
SUCH A SICK HAND. Chadwick has the J in his hand so you think he almost has to call this, but if you are him, looking at that board, what hand is worse than a J high flush that jams over 2 players. Great bluff by Sam, holding a J and the Ac in his hand. Great spot to go for it, all I know is people, bet your trips, bet your boats and bet your flushes and you won't get in spots like this as often.
Holy fuck. I wish Doug would take an hour one day and just pick off some of these comments. Do people here really think Doug doesn't know that 56cc makes a straight flush? Do these people also believe that Doug is ignorant of hand rankings and oblivious to the fact that straight flushes beat full houses? If you guys want to feel all smart for recognizing that a straight flush is possible when there are 3 cards on the board within a sequence of 5 running cards and they're all of the same suit, then I'll congratulate you guys. Well done, you completed the first and most menial step in learning poker - hand rankings. PS: he fuckin says it in the video.
Although i believe that if he had done the full analysis of the hand, (shot clock influenced the hand, even though you have time chips it was very early in the tournament) he would have called, you can clearly see which style of play was more efficient by looking at the final table players
I think the only other logical hand for Chadwick to be thinking about is the Ace high flush.. which he and his opponent knows that he doesn't have. He has the 4th nut flush, the board is doubled and he's facing an all in at just under a mill.. Sick but effective.
if I’m underepping my hand that much, I block JJ! And the guy after me jams! 🤔🤔( we all know he’s polarized( bluff alerrt) why jamm? In the first place( did the player super slow played a set, like I did with my flush? Too many stars alining, I have to see it! Yes, his move obviously screams strength, but there’re huge leaks in his bluff!
Doug, could you analyze limping strategy from the small blind that was used widely in this triton tournament. For example, voegelzam used it multiple times in different situations. I would love to hear your comment on why it is getting popular even though it is seen as a "wrong" way to play.
If anything, it shouldn't have the opposite result on our analysis, yes. I'd call personally pretty easily, because of how underrept we are and based how good pot odds we got on river (if I'm not mistaken the odds are crazy to fold - I mean we need to see the boat cards in their hands to fold, no room for speculate with these odds) That said, playing on the internet, I have seen all sorts of crazy players that value lead with small bets and later reraise me if I raise, so I actually run in to monster opponent hands this way but that is just a personal experience with small stakes players.
Am I missing something on the River. Polk narrows Trickett's bluffs to boats, quads or straight flush. What about the most likely winner - Ace-high flush?
Archibald Maule Ramsay if you bought some of tricketts action you should know he’s up to this type of shit. And you should feel good about it after. He’s sharp as fuck
I’d be nervous about it, but I’d know what type of player he is, meaning I knew the risk I took. Of course if could afford some of his action I probably wouldn’t care about it that much I suppose.
If you buy Tricketts's action and you expect him to play more conservatively because he has investors, then you shouldn't have bought the action in the first place
I feel like this bluff only works at a high level tourney like this. I think that trickett had a read on Chidwick that he’d fold to a giant shove like this. Trickett gets snapped off with this bet at lower level / more casual games.
Exactly, most players playing this are 120+ IQ with a mean of 125+ easy. The play from all players involved were top notch, the 8 6 was a bit rough but good sizing. The flat from Chidwick allowed Trickett the move available, Although not the greatest spot to do it. I think it was reckless but a high percentage move for sure.
I dont know if he can do this without having the ace of clubs in his hand. I dont think there is a universe where in a multiway pot people check sets behind. If kenny had a set he can check flop but never the turn. If chidwick has a set i think he is gonne bet flop a lot. Also the river bet sizing was sick because after his reshove on the river chidwick probably took it as a inducing bet with a monster holding. Sick play!
I don't think he was trying to rep a boat he was trying to rep an A high flush to get trips to fold because he knew no one was checking anything that made a boat twice in either position.
Sets most often would look for protection on flop, worse case turn...Chidwick pretty much has to believe Sam had it all the way to find this fold. Like 56cc?? Would love to know how he found the fold as logically it doesn’t add up unless for some horrific reason in a multi-way pot, the set never bets till river while either fills up, quads up. So...did Chidwick think he must have flopped the 56cc? Scary things are under the bed and in the closet if you look for them. Personally I love seeing the robots get smoked!
Gross spot for Chidwick. His hand strength is face up after flatting 100k river bet. No boats in his range. Trickett used this fact to put him to the test.
Are their ranges really that tight there after being checked around twice? I'd expect everyone have much more air-type of hands or thinner value than just flushes and boats.
I felt like Chidwick was way too under-rep'd in this spot. He sort of pinned himself into a corner where he had to call this. I really feel like there is no way Trickett put Chidwick on a flush or boat here.
I actually think Trickett put him exactly on a low flush. What else does Chidwick play this way? okay sometimes kj I guess. Chidwick does not have air and does not fold full houses.
These spots are probably what seperate say...LLinus etc etc from the rest of the players. How often is Trickett ...or Bryn playing value like this? Probably very very rarely which really weights their ranges towards bluffs. So you can say Combo this...and combo that. But in reality you may be beaten by that combo 3% of the time or something which drastically increases the amount of bluffs compared to value. I would bet if LLinus was in Chidwicks shoes here he would call knowing he blockers JJs and the fact that Trickett may use this line for value a very very small % of the time making it a +EV call
Isn’t Trickett value range wider than JJ, 77 and 56c when it goes check, check, check on both flop and turn? He does block the nut flush and he has no reason to think that anyone has a boat.
Why isn't what you're repping considered? If Chidwick is repping a flush, is there any way Trickett bluffs in that situation? If you are Chidwick, you have to consider what Trickett thinks he's bluffing against. If he's not bluffing, then you're both trapping the flop and turn? Chidwick basically goaded him into bluffing and then gave up?
Flopping a flush in position and not betting flop or turn? Just shows high stakes players are not as good as people think. Hilarious fold in my opinion, tried to trap then gets bluffed off the winning hand truly comical. I get it's a big tournament but he didn't even think very long, set of fours or threes or sevens is definitely betting the flop or turn or both, and he has a jack. This is a no brainier call if you ask me, I probably would have sighed said well if you have me beat bummer and called.
you have to realize this is early in the tournament and trickett only has like 30k invested in the pot at this point. Why would a guy just punt off his 600k stack with a tiny 30k invested so early in the tournament? No idiot would suicide bluff like that , but trickett had the balls the make the suicide bluff KNOWING what his opponents know.
Doug, i really like your youtube content. whether its serious crypto, jokey crypto or poker , thank you for these videos. the weather has been weird in the uk recently and an insect bit my ankle and ankle is now swelling up. cough i will get my coat.
I think this is a good lesson for all poker players, that if you want to slowplay a hand, remember that you are under-repped, and don't be afraid to call. Of course not always right. But against Sam Trickett? Call every day.
What are your thoughts on Tricket’s body language? Seemed weak. I think he was reacting thinking about calling and then realized he wanted to bluff. Surprised he went for it having given off those tells. Wonder if Chidwick read them as reverse tells.
Chidwick’s play was bizarre. Flopped a mid flush knowing he couldn’t improve his hand, also 3-way. Got to at least get rid of a player off that flop. Any club or the board to a pair on the turn/river weakens his hand. It’s more the kind of play with a king or ace high flush. Weird initial river bet by Trickett cos it was too low for a value bet or bluff, but a really brave push after a re-raise and call from the other two.
Um, not to be mean, but when there is 3 of a suit on-board, and you have the ace of that suit, it's IMPOSSIBLE for it to be the best bluff of all time. That is one-of the most COMMON BLUFFS, no?

I must suck as a poker player, because im not folding a two card flush for 383 more.
I hear ya buddy. I’m absolutely pot-committed in that hand with a flush.
It always seems like the guy that tries to trap ends up getting bluffed
Only if you watch a select few vids on RUclips
I realllllly am not a huge fan all the time of using card removal/blockers to have a big influence on your decision making because just because you block someone from having a certain hand DEFINITELY does not mean they don't have that hand. Often times they can even if you block.
Onto this hand though, Sam made an amazing play I feel albeit extremely gutsy. Both of his cards are actually blocking big hands The nut flush and his Jack is blocking Jacks full so he can be pretty certain neither player has that. I think that he might feel even if one of his opponents has a full house, are they going to call off that many chips in a MASSIVE money tournament like this?
I'm not sure if that was his thinking but I applaud his intelligence if it was. In the moment i'm not really able to make deep removal and thoughts like this. Great play.
I play mostly online, thus I'm not really in the live tell side of things. But, Sam's facial expression at 10:50-10:53 gives so much intel that he is bluffing. *Note that this doesn't mean that I would have called*
Shouldn't Chidwick be calling here? He completely underrepped his hand and still would've had half his stack to play on. Are both players really going to double check a 2 pair or set on the turn? The only thing that can trap 2 streets out of position is flopping the straight flush, am I wrong here?
if Trickett had A 2 of clubs, could he have taken the same line? Trapped two streets then jammed, but the 16k bet then is a little strange...dunno, why the shot clock makes things interesting, that's a huge amount to risk on a middling flush in the moment
Never use the world should in poker though. And Chidwick double checked back flopped flush so for sure double checking 2p and sets is in both Bryn's and Trickett's arsenal some % of time.
@@deathmetalalchemist5861 I think Chidwick is thinking, why would he check two streets in a very small pot, then bets small on the river and jams after a raise and a call without the nuts? Tricket basically didnt invest that much in this pot, so why would he bluff shove with less than a J high flush. That's why this bluff is pretty good imo
@@AnyDeuce thanks, probably what Chidwick thought, but why would Trickett bet so small on the river if he has the nuts...wouldn't he at least bet 1/2 pot?
Both are capable of trying to trap on the turn you fucking pleb
12:43 I think what's interesting though is Chicwick's call. Would he really have just called with a boat? Surely he would have bet?
That's what makes Trickett's play good imo. The Call bu Chidwick seems like weakness.
Why would quads and boats even be factored into Kenneys range on the river. Wouldn’t sets and straights bet the turn there given the board texture? He’s only repping a strong flopped flush. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Do the Chidwick J5 vs Rajkumar all in. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
That call was terrible he was stone bottom of range without any relevant blockers to value combinations. Arguably he should fold the turn too.
Unless of course he think either:
Villain is over-bluffing
Villain is acting in a way that is indicative he is bluffing (a live read.)
It's pretty difficult to over bluff this spot given the fact Raj can have 32 straight combos as well as a ton of 2 pairs/sets/strong top pairs. So either its the latter option or he just makes a very bad call cos he doesn't wanna get bluffed again, and gets lucky by running in to the bluffing region.
Love this week of hand analysis.
Think the jack blocker might have indicated a call was possible at least some of the time?
Please look at the Hero Call Antonious hand!
I would not have believed Chidwick would lay that down... WOW
Ac is key because Chidwick has a face up flush. IMO he does not need to worry about protecting his range given the BBs polarizing >5x raise
and
Jd is kind of neat since it blocks the BBs stronger boats (1xJ7s or maybe even occasionally 1xJ7o).
He cannot have A7, A4 or A3 with Ac either so this actually seems like the very best candidate for bluffing in this multi-player-spot
Interesting question then is: Does a jam from Tricket make money assuming calling with a flush is profitable for Chidwick and knowing Chidwick is capped and will probably fold.
The reason Chadwick does not need to worry about protecting his range being that Tricket cannot jam thinly for value against the BBs range. He is forced to call with the majority of even his strong hands which should guarantee Chadwick a frequent showdown after calling with boils his decision down to: 'Is my hand good here often enough' rather than 'Is my hand here good often enough and how do I continue (range-wise) when facing another raise'
Really interesting discussion and hand... I think you can get away with this most in the earlier levels of a high buy in no rebuy tournament. Especially if you really know the players, as these guys likely do. Can't pull this against anyone at random, but if you think the opponent is on the thinking side and will stop before calling off while saying "I flopped it! If he's got me, he's got me!" then and only then can this be profitable.
I disagree about not doing this in a low stakes game. You find the guy who hates "players like you" and always loves to think the worst, that the opponent always has the hand that beats you, then you can try it then as well, maybe. Again, know the players.
I've started calling these great hands (high flushes +) on the river most of the times. It's working pretty good so far, though I got destroyed by quads once hahaha
All ins ?
That's why I don't ever slowplay unless I know the guy is an aggro maniac who will bet 100% of the time. I might be losing some value against the regs but you avoid this kind of shit happening
Doug didn't mention J7d or J7h at all. Trickett is definitely capable of having those even though he called in the small blind but they make complete sense the way the hand played out.
Hey Doug, really dig your new loose aggro uploader style lately. Keep up the aggression :D
Great video dude thx for the content. Only one question tho why not call with a full house of 4s ?
Trickett's hand blocked the nut flush and top boat...My guess is that was his reasoning, and he put Chidwick on a flush, as opposed to a set, given that he checked in position until calling on the river.
I'm sure Trickett is expecting Chidwick to build the pot with a flush on an earlier street,
I would put it in top 5 given the situation and people involved.
Yes a normal tourny with bad regs would call, this is a million buy in you don't have fools that just guess their opponent is bluffing...Most rich people are smart by a 2x standard deviation.
Bets as small as Trickett's with a value hand which can also re-raise all in for value are extremely rare. Betting so small is leaving money on the table for a value hand of supposedly such high value. Trickett isn't one to leave money on the table and so Chidwick has a clear call.
Ummm no, just no
SUCH A SICK HAND. Chadwick has the J in his hand so you think he almost has to call this, but if you are him, looking at that board, what hand is worse than a J high flush that jams over 2 players. Great bluff by Sam, holding a J and the Ac in his hand. Great spot to go for it, all I know is people, bet your trips, bet your boats and bet your flushes and you won't get in spots like this as often.
Holy fuck. I wish Doug would take an hour one day and just pick off some of these comments. Do people here really think Doug doesn't know that 56cc makes a straight flush? Do these people also believe that Doug is ignorant of hand rankings and oblivious to the fact that straight flushes beat full houses? If you guys want to feel all smart for recognizing that a straight flush is possible when there are 3 cards on the board within a sequence of 5 running cards and they're all of the same suit, then I'll congratulate you guys. Well done, you completed the first and most menial step in learning poker - hand rankings.
PS: he fuckin says it in the video.
Although i believe that if he had done the full analysis of the hand, (shot clock influenced the hand, even though you have time chips it was very early in the tournament) he would have called, you can clearly see which style of play was more efficient by looking at the final table players
I think the only other logical hand for Chadwick to be thinking about is the Ace high flush.. which he and his opponent knows that he doesn't have. He has the 4th nut flush, the board is doubled and he's facing an all in at just under a mill.. Sick but effective.
Great analysis, and a fxking great bluff from Trickett... thx for the content
if I’m underepping my hand that much, I block JJ! And the guy after me jams! 🤔🤔( we all know he’s polarized( bluff alerrt) why jamm? In the first place( did the player super slow played a set, like I did with my flush? Too many stars alining, I have to see it! Yes, his move obviously screams strength, but there’re huge leaks in his bluff!
Doug, could you analyze limping strategy from the small blind that was used widely in this triton tournament. For example, voegelzam used it multiple times in different situations. I would love to hear your comment on why it is getting popular even though it is seen as a "wrong" way to play.
Sorry I meant calling from sb vs. late position raise and not 3betting. Although we also saw limping from early and mid positions also many times.
Any comments about the initial 1/3 size bet on the river before the bluff? Shold we consider it in favour of a call with a flush?
If anything, it shouldn't have the opposite result on our analysis, yes. I'd call personally pretty easily, because of how underrept we are and based how good pot odds we got on river (if I'm not mistaken the odds are crazy to fold - I mean we need to see the boat cards in their hands to fold, no room for speculate with these odds) That said, playing on the internet, I have seen all sorts of crazy players that value lead with small bets and later reraise me if I raise, so I actually run in to monster opponent hands this way but that is just a personal experience with small stakes players.
Why you gotta spoil with the title?
Keep 'em coming Doug! Great content and your humor rocks!
Am I missing something on the River. Polk narrows Trickett's bluffs to boats, quads or straight flush. What about the most likely winner - Ace-high flush?
Also worth noting, Trickett BLOCKS Ace-high flush AND also blocks top boat.. Blocking nut flush and top boat, I like the jam..
@@carloscagin mainly because of the situation; early, 1.2M buy in.
If you had bought some of tricketts action, how would you feel him making a play like this?
Archibald Maule Ramsay if you bought some of tricketts action you should know he’s up to this type of shit. And you should feel good about it after. He’s sharp as fuck
I’d be nervous about it, but I’d know what type of player he is, meaning I knew the risk I took. Of course if could afford some of his action I probably wouldn’t care about it that much I suppose.
If you buy Tricketts's action and you expect him to play more conservatively because he has investors, then you shouldn't have bought the action in the first place
7:00 “a full house is the nuts” wrong. Straight flush is the nuts, followed by quad 7’s
No. AJ was the nuts obviously.
I feel like this bluff only works at a high level tourney like this. I think that trickett had a read on Chidwick that he’d fold to a giant shove like this.
Trickett gets snapped off with this bet at lower level / more casual games.
Exactly, most players playing this are 120+ IQ with a mean of 125+ easy. The play from all players involved were top notch, the 8 6 was a bit rough but good sizing. The flat from Chidwick allowed Trickett the move available, Although not the greatest spot to do it. I think it was reckless but a high percentage move for sure.
I dont know if he can do this without having the ace of clubs in his hand. I dont think there is a universe where in a multiway pot people check sets behind. If kenny had a set he can check flop but never the turn. If chidwick has a set i think he is gonne bet flop a lot. Also the river bet sizing was sick because after his reshove on the river chidwick probably took it as a inducing bet with a monster holding. Sick play!
That was awesome. Strong move from Trickett. Well played.
Easily one of the sickest hands ever streamed.
Nick Vertucci’s chip stack Why?
I don't think he was trying to rep a boat he was trying to rep an A high flush to get trips to fold because he knew no one was checking anything that made a boat twice in either position.
I wish I understood what you were saying half the time. Haha. Sounds like nuclear chemistry
Sets most often would look for protection on flop, worse case turn...Chidwick pretty much has to believe Sam had it all the way to find this fold. Like 56cc?? Would love to know how he found the fold as logically it doesn’t add up unless for some horrific reason in a multi-way pot, the set never bets till river while either fills up, quads up. So...did Chidwick think he must have flopped the 56cc? Scary things are under the bed and in the closet if you look for them. Personally I love seeing the robots get smoked!
One of the best leveling wars I've seen.
Gross spot for Chidwick. His hand strength is face up after flatting 100k river bet. No boats in his range. Trickett used this fact to put him to the test.
Can someone explain why Doug says Chidwick wouldn't consider Trickett having a better flush?
Because Trickett never would reraise that river with a flush, after the board paired on the river.
Are their ranges really that tight there after being checked around twice? I'd expect everyone have much more air-type of hands or thinner value than just flushes and boats.
how much would you bet on turn at Chidwicks place?
This game is just too sick man. Have I said that before?
Great content Doug love the way you analyse
I felt like Chidwick was way too under-rep'd in this spot. He sort of pinned himself into a corner where he had to call this. I really feel like there is no way Trickett put Chidwick on a flush or boat here.
I actually think Trickett put him exactly on a low flush. What else does Chidwick play this way? okay sometimes kj I guess. Chidwick does not have air and does not fold full houses.
Why not jam Ax of clubs for thin value. Makes sense to me only Bryne Kenney can have a boat realistically and there are so few of them.
You are correct... when playing people who actually think the game through. Unlike most of the doofi on this board.
You kind of did not really analyze the river spot properly. What about Chidwicks decision?
Hasn't Chidwick capped his range here though? If he had one of the stronger boats or quads, it seems likely he'd have shoved over Bryn's reraise.
The overcall is pretty weak in this spot. He’s shown no aggression throughout. That’s why slowplaying hands like this is dangerous.
Did Doug drunk bluff all of his money away? The last thing I read about Doug said that poker gives him anxiety now. What is going on here?
Crypto is dead for him on YT. His comedy channel wasn't good. So he is back where he belongs.
These spots are probably what seperate say...LLinus etc etc from the rest of the players. How often is Trickett ...or Bryn playing value like this? Probably very very rarely which really weights their ranges towards bluffs. So you can say Combo this...and combo that. But in reality you may be beaten by that combo 3% of the time or something which drastically increases the amount of bluffs compared to value. I would bet if LLinus was in Chidwicks shoes here he would call knowing he blockers JJs and the fact that Trickett may use this line for value a very very small % of the time making it a +EV call
Isn’t Trickett value range wider than JJ, 77 and 56c when it goes check, check, check on both flop and turn? He does block the nut flush and he has no reason to think that anyone has a boat.
Nice video DOUGIE. Also, i think u left ur muscles in ur other shirt.
This is awesome, keep 'em coming Doug!
Why isn't what you're repping considered? If Chidwick is repping a flush, is there any way Trickett bluffs in that situation? If you are Chidwick, you have to consider what Trickett thinks he's bluffing against. If he's not bluffing, then you're both trapping the flop and turn? Chidwick basically goaded him into bluffing and then gave up?
Flopping a flush in position and not betting flop or turn? Just shows high stakes players are not as good as people think. Hilarious fold in my opinion, tried to trap then gets bluffed off the winning hand truly comical. I get it's a big tournament but he didn't even think very long, set of fours or threes or sevens is definitely betting the flop or turn or both, and he has a jack. This is a no brainier call if you ask me, I probably would have sighed said well if you have me beat bummer and called.
you have to realize this is early in the tournament and trickett only has like 30k invested in the pot at this point. Why would a guy just punt off his 600k stack with a tiny 30k invested so early in the tournament? No idiot would suicide bluff like that , but trickett had the balls the make the suicide bluff KNOWING what his opponents know.
It's like Christmas morning over and over!
Doug, i really like your youtube content. whether its serious crypto, jokey crypto or poker , thank you for these videos.
the weather has been weird in the uk recently and an insect bit my ankle and ankle is now swelling up.
cough i will get my coat.
Smart, yet humorous analysis as always... but. any plans for a vid on your crypto channel sprinkled into the mix here and there??
I think this is a good lesson for all poker players, that if you want to slowplay a hand, remember that you are under-repped, and don't be afraid to call. Of course not always right. But against Sam Trickett? Call every day.
And when you do - he's got it.
James Kun Damn man.. shame you didn't get to reg this, you would've crushed.
Tricket was jamming for value
lol
LOL 🤣🤦♂️
Nut flush blocker plus top boat blocker. Excellent bluff.
Dont burn yourself out Doug! Love all the content though cant lie, just don’t want to see a goodbye tweet!!
Damn kinda called it
What are your thoughts on Tricket’s body language? Seemed weak. I think he was reacting thinking about calling and then realized he wanted to bluff. Surprised he went for it having given off those tells. Wonder if Chidwick read them as reverse tells.
Chidwick’s play was bizarre. Flopped a mid flush knowing he couldn’t improve his hand, also 3-way. Got to at least get rid of a player off that flop. Any club or the board to a pair on the turn/river weakens his hand. It’s more the kind of play with a king or ace high flush. Weird initial river bet by Trickett cos it was too low for a value bet or bluff, but a really brave push after a re-raise and call from the other two.
Great hand, Great review... Loved it!
Loving the daily videos. Keep it up. Thank you!
He had the nut flush blocker. What else do you need?
So Dan, would you have called in Chidwick's spot?
Um, not to be mean, but when there is 3 of a suit on-board, and you have the ace of that suit, it's IMPOSSIBLE for it to be the best bluff of all time.
That is one-of the most COMMON BLUFFS, no?
