How does the set of queens even think about folding? Like thats absolutely unreal. That should be a snap call. 42 and 47 are out of the question. So its literally just kings. How does he even fold? One of the best folds ive ever seen.
I think it’s more about the table talk & his previous interactions with Henry when he said you should let this one go. They are friends and Max genuinely looked like doesn’t want to take all of his friends money
Because his opponent told him he was good and he had been doing that all night and he never lied. He also had beed playing a very large range and calling with monsters preflop or with hands that should have folded. So he could not only have had KK here, he also could have had a straight. It took L a bit to fold because he was beating all the other sets.
Max tells the truth, and he was sincere in saying, "as your friend"...L recognized this quickly, and accepted it as truth, to make the correct fold. Still a top level fold but he was relying on his word/tone/body language/prior truth telling. L is top level and relied on the read there. It screamed nuts/near nuts and L picked up on that.
As soon as hear “as your friend” you have to believe him. Nobody is that evil on a live poker game to weaponize their friendship for personal gain in poker.
I think L picked up on the talk at 11:23. Where he says "L you're sitting on pocket aces" and then under his breath says "pocket queens". Makes it so he quite likely has kings. That's the only possible explanation for this insane fold. If he didn't hear that I have no idea how else you make that fold.
@@jiivii3o okay let’s pretend for a second that they’re playing for no money. Do you think he’d be upset if he lost twice when there’s no stakes on the line? Would he be pissed over simply having lost a few hands of cards with nothing on the line? I highly doubt it. I’m guessing he would be pissed if he were to lose actual money though, which is what they’re playing for. I’m just saying his whole “I don’t care about money” line is a crock lol. My guess is though that he said it for the sake of speech play.
The fact that he went into the tank with queens here shows how incredibly skilled the best players in the world are. 99.9% of players insta-call here with QQQ, L tanks for three minutes. Elite stuff.
How is everyone thinking that's a tough fold? He told him 19 times to fold and was obviously being genuine about it. Easy fold but had to take time so it wasn't labelled collusion or soft play.
This guy was FOR SURE an amateur watching him play, no act, there were many LITTLE things that clearly showed his inexperience, but obviously he ran like a god here and crushed it. Now the most important part: This guy was a SUPER cool, friendly, authentic guy. A little akward, but many, really nice guy.
The commentator is surely wrong about raising the turn with AcQs? AcQs and AsQc are the two exact combos that check-call turn because they block the draws AQ needs to protect against. Also, check-calling these two combos means we can sometimes have AQ in our check-call turn line, which seems a no-brainer.
I feel like the guy who does these titles for these videos is the type of dude who walks out the cinema and posts the whole storyline on his Facebook status.
I have watched live 😂 Max was just Amazing ❤ he lost 50k in 1st hour and then back in the game with 120k up You will really enjoy just go n watch this session live
L with the 8D chess mind. Unreal golden fold. Sure the betting pattern, heater notice, and table talk all said he had Kings, but to fold a set there is crazy tough no doubt.
L’s fold of Set of Queens is a fold of the century. I don’t think many people can do that pro or amateur just gonna pay it off. L don’t come to my local card room please, stay on HCL. Too damn good 😮
It was refreshing to watch a new player, and to watch him dominate that shark infested line up! (Obv he ran well) Hcl should have shown the hand max lost to henry's turned kk set, would have made more sense the way max played the last hand
I actually know Max, and he definitely knows his stuff… the guy is a madman/genius AND very nice-ask the poker players that spent all night with him; guarantee you they’d say he’s incredibly tough to play, if you watched the full stream (and not the highlights) you’d completely get it… he genuinely didn’t want to take more of L’s $ after that cooler. He loves to get people’s guards down then ethically take their $ like a savage
I would have put Max on not having AA, but KK a possibility. Suited Superman with AA preflop, but AK or AQ, after the flop. The raise all-in on the river confirms it. On the flip side, L might think Max put him on QQ, and not being afraid to go all-in would make KK again, a possibility. Still, a reall tough, and great lay down.
That first hand was hilarious. Hate it when I’m in that spot and the guy is talkin as if he’s gonna fold trips and you just waiting for him to finally call…
Because Max literally told him a dozen times he has it? Even after L shows QQ, Max says he should still fold. If he was lying that would be friendship ending and start a lifelong beef.
@@Joomlahacks 80% of the time when someone tells you their hand or their relative strength of it, they're not lying. Humans are much more natural and comfortable telling the truth because telling a convincing lie takes skill while telling the truth does not.
Im no pro, but am i the only one that saw max give off HUGE tells when he hit that straight? I know henry had the second nuts, but personally i wouldn't raise there if i saw how max was acting.
I'm going broke 100 percent of the time there with L's hand especially when having over half my stack already committed and getting 3 to 1 on a call. One of the most insane folds I've ever seen.

No you guys are all right. But before that even happens how don't you just snap call?
It's like Jamie Gold and Will Kassouf had a kid.
Lol yeah that's what I thought. All that table talk Hollywood crap works for 1 session mb
He is insufferable.
He's PAINFUL to watch...😮

Of course he high fives the fist bump 😂 Need this guy on more. You're never sure if its an act or not.
Should not be doing that anyway. This ain’t teams
I think he's just the type of person who doesn't care what others think about him
Watching this live was absolutely ridiculous. Love him or hate him, Max went down in HCL history.
I really struggle hard with understanding people like this... It's like they think they're alone in the world
Dudes a donkey, I would have been super annoyed by him.
Hes despicable @elijahjakobsen7898
Telling L his hand was stupid. L is not a friend, he is a villain in the game
Wait for next Stream :))) First luck Game isnt NOTHING. But why he Slow roll like that
Max almost quit after going broke within the first 30 minutes. I’m glad he stayed!
And he said he doesn’t need the money.
Max: “If I lose again I’m gonna be pretty pissed”
Also Max: “I don’t care about money”😂
U say that as if a person can't be mad about losing w.o caring about the money? It's still a competition...
Because losing and money is 2 different things…even though he is LOSING MONEY … yeah

Table talk made that a much easier fold. What is impressive is it wasnt a snap call before the amateur started talking.
BEST ANSWER
I mean there’s still 3 hands better than his. 4th nuts is never a snap.
@@alanmosesov8870no, Max never has 24 or 47 there. QQ is effectively the 2nd nuts
Max must not care about 30K and has to be doing really well in his life.
They guy is a surgeon, so yeah, he is doing more than fine.

The last hand is the best hand I’ve seen on HCL in a long time. Wild
Wow that queens fold is next level. To even consider folding is sick. To execute is bananas.
Kakitee HU match? PLO/NL mix?
what do u mean????? did u see the hand ????? he told him to fold because he had him u nob
It was a sick fold, but Max’s antics definitely made it easier.
i mean the dude is telling you not to call, this is like 1/2 reads if someone says that u run for the hills lol
How is everyone thinking that's a tough fold? He told him 19 times to fold and was obviously being genuine about it. Easy fold but had to take time so it wasn't labelled collusion or soft play.
His table talk gave it away but still a sick fold
"his table talk gave it away" u figured that all out on your own?
Dude talked himself outta $50K.
33,200
Don’t like this guy and all his angles …
Dude helped his friend save 33.2k
Max is one of those rare personalities that makes you enjoy watching the sport just to see how he responds
this is THE BEST FOLD OF 2024 for sure. big respect to that guy, applause.
Someone get this guy a podcast, he won’t shut up!
L’s fold ineffable.
Max’s talk insufferable.
Jamie Gold 2.0
Table talk was so stupid. What an amateur
st fu . it is all fun to watch
He's so rich it doesn't matter. He felt bad after coolering L the entire night, so he saved him his money.
This guy was FOR SURE an amateur watching him play, no act, there were many LITTLE things that clearly showed his inexperience, but obviously he ran like a god here and crushed it.
Now the most important part: This guy was a SUPER cool, friendly, authentic guy. A little akward, but many, really nice guy.
Brown baller’s laugh is the absolute rake.
One of the worst table talker. Made his opponent fold instead of making another 30k+ 😂
From a gambling perspective, he's the worst ever!

Max has to be one of the most hated players ever. Only robby has him beat
What you said made no sense...if robbi has him beat then he's not the most hated player.
8:49 slick AF.
Sick fold from L. Bravo. Max's talk is losing himself money though lol
L with the 8D chess mind. Unreal golden fold. Sure the betting pattern, heater notice, and table talk all said he had Kings, but to fold a set there is crazy tough no doubt.
That QQ’s fold has me on full tilt this weekend
lol orders a quesadilla with kings.
Brownballa's commentary post hand has me in TEARS ROFL
Max huffing like an idiot that first hand...SMH
If he’s talking…I’m folding 😂
Talked him right into a fold, trying to use reverse psychology, if that was his best childhood friend he'd be praying for him to call for 33,000,
Max is breathing hard. You can tell his heart is pumping because he knows he's going to win.
we love you BrownBalla but you legit sound like Beavis 🙃
“We” ? , I don’t think so, easy one of the most annoying players
L has made 2 insane folds on this show! Great player!
his quick check on the turn gave it away that he could have KK
Max gotta learn to keep his mouth shut
Can we ban “sun run” for 2025?
Max is definitely a new piker player cause he's so chatty and relaxed when he has a strong hand.
If Max had controlled his talk, L would have called but that was a sick fold nevertheless.
Nobody really ever talks about Henry and he’s such a nice guy and is nothing but class at the table even when he loses 💯
No one in the world would fold Queens their. That is insanity. Remind me never to talk when L is at the table.
That table talk, getting him to fold amounts to collusion!
He never would’ve folded if Max would’ve kept his mouth shut. Obviously Max was happy with what was already in the pot.
L’s fold of Set of Queens is a fold of the century. I don’t think many people can do that pro or amateur just gonna pay it off. L don’t come to my local card room please, stay on HCL. Too damn good 😮
He is such a luckbox fish omg. Its painful
Unbelievable fold. Props man. Wow
Crazy runout. What a funny gentleman. 😊
It was refreshing to watch a new player, and to watch him dominate that shark infested line up! (Obv he ran well)
Hcl should have shown the hand max lost to henry's turned kk set, would have made more sense the way max played the last hand
It’s funny all the regs helping the new fish with his chips. Helping him and counting them out for the dealer. They want him to stick around.
I actually know Max, and he definitely knows his stuff… the guy is a madman/genius AND very nice-ask the poker players that spent all night with him; guarantee you they’d say he’s incredibly tough to play, if you watched the full stream (and not the highlights) you’d completely get it… he genuinely didn’t want to take more of L’s $ after that cooler.

Max is 100% a banker, one with EQ and is prob in decent management role
Is that why he is so annoying?
''Max'' is the cash game version of Jamie Gold😅 He should just take this 120K and run, but we all know he won't.
I would have put Max on not having AA, but KK a possibility. Suited Superman with AA preflop, but AK or AQ, after the flop. The raise all-in on the river confirms it. On the flip side, L might think Max put him on QQ, and not being afraid to go all-in would make KK again, a possibility. Still, a reall tough, and great lay down.

@@snatchinyopeople how do you not do it?
@@EbonKim well I always fold QQ pre flop, to avoid these situations
@@snatchinyopeoplegood for you
One of the most retarded things I've read in the comment section ever
When someone like this dude Max sits down at a table I leave. They always get the most ridiculous luck and start cleaning people out.
Max talked too much, keep this guy away from alcoholic drinks.
The type of guy that talk’s a lot on a good run, and whinned too much on a bad swing.
That first hand was hilarious. Hate it when I’m in that spot and the guy is talkin as if he’s gonna fold trips and you just waiting for him to finally call…
How on earth did L fold the set of queens????? Jesus christ did he misread his cards?! The best fold ive seen in 2024 for sure
Because Max literally told him a dozen times he has it? Even after L shows QQ, Max says he should still fold. If he was lying that would be friendship ending and start a lifelong beef.
He's great for the stream! 🤣🙌🏼
Unreal fold but the guy literally told him he had it what a way to do yourself out of 30k.

First rule of fight club! Don’t talk about fight club!
Everyone saw Max crater his first buy in and thought "Fish". Hot run with the cards after he rebought.
The stars just aligned for this dude. Such bad table talk and play. Just happens to get nut over nut and trips v over pairs then set over set. 😂
what a slowroll, good job max!
Funny when people don't realize that calling out possibilities of their opponent's hand can actually reveal their own hand.
Heard the laugh and immediately left
Wow, that whole hand tilted the hell out of me. Hell, Max puts me on _life_ tilt.
What a fist bump from Max. Just classic at 8:50!
Wow one of greatest folds, so sick!
Sick ass fold 🔥🔥🔥
Thats such a bad fold in the longrun on the river
You're right but with all that table talk it made the fold possible as crazy as that sounds
Max is so good for the game, poker players can be snobby. Nice to see someone having fun
I get some pretty strong Jamie Gold vibes from Max.
Sick sick fold by L, respect ✊🏼
We need him back for sure
Worst table talk in the history of poker.
Good God that is the most incredible fold I’ve ever ever seen
folding QQ is a bad fold theoretically , but practically is good fold coz MAX was honest all the game
and gave away every tell in the book.
Next time Philly Hellmouth says he's the greatest someone needs to show him this.
We need more Max content!
That's a really great fold!!!
Guess the table didn’t pick up on the table talk
This guy can't control himself
That night was crazy
L good fold tough luck but too much table talk from max
haha I said that wow sometimes I amaze myself but praise belongs to Allah swt not me ameen
