Must not know poker. Mariano became a small time player to playing one of the biggest high limit players. He is messing around and going easy on them. This is low stakes for him.
I was thinking about that, but also noticed Magnus looking at his cards more than once, which seems like it must be a tell since it's not like he'd have forgotten what he has. Fascinating stuff!
@@hoebare Yes. He's a freak of nature. Not only does he not forget anything he does but he won't forget anything you did either. He has an incredible memory.
People who don't closely follow chess don't quite understand how insane Magnus's mind is. He has a ridiculous memory being able to recall chess positions, and the following moves, that he might have read about 20 years ago as a kid. It's not surprising that he quickly learned and understood ranges and remembered how every hand was played at the table.
@@apollo7804That's funny. You said his memory wouldn't work outside of chess. When he was 9 he memorised every single flag for every single country. He has done even more extraordinary things than this too. He has as close to a photographic memory as you can get.
True, and actually Magnus is pretty average at poker, as opposed to Alexandra who has displayed solid game every time she has played on camera. But the comments here are delusional. Just because Magnus is god at chess, doesn't mean he's automatically great at everything. He's in fact a noob at almost everything else I've watched him do on youtube - poker, football, running (lol).
I think Botez played really well and have seen her play in other shows, but Magnus is breaking down ranges and lines in a way I’ve never seen Botez do. It is on a very high level
@@PaulPavloPablo I've also seen them on poker channels, not just hers.... and there's a "cumulative winnings" graphic no amount of cherry picking could overcome.
Who wouldn't wanna play with Botez, while holding a bad hand, even though she's a nit? She's fun, beautiful, and non-threatening. That's the key to Dnegs success too. Many don't realize there's an element of 'commensalism' that occurs in poker between players. It's got to do with your image, likability, and charm at the table. Not everyone can pull it off. You gotta work with what you got and exploit your perceived image. Live poker is like having no choice in avatar and screen name...That's why online player's success doesn't necessarily translate to live. There's so many more psychological factors going on.
The only thing I seen her lose at was at Triton playing a field of literally the best in the world. Even then she was still doing ok, but she made 1 mistake and got knocked out.
Counterfeit is when the board contains a higher version of the same hand. Board has a pair of 5s after the river which is higher than Mariano's pair of 4s. Next board had no pair after the river so Mariano's 4 pair was still valid. (An 8 would've counterfeited him again or a 7 would've given Botez a higher pair)
Imagine a pro poker player winning against Magnus after a couple of rounds and then arrogantly exclaims, "Dude, I bet I can beat you in chess." with a straight face.
Most of the time, I would play any of the following 10 hands. 1: Pocket Pairs 2: Open Ended Straight Flush Draw 3: Pair Of Aces + Nut Flush Draw 4: Suited Connectors 5: Any Suited Ace 6: Top Pair/Top Kicker + Nut Flush Draw 7: Two Pair + Flush Draw 8: Pair Of Kings + Flush Draw 9: Suited King-High 10: Ace-King

HEy all, question. Do these top chess players(and Alex) form a serious threat to top poker-players? If so, i think it's funny how the poker-players spend years and years getting to the top, while the chess players just slike in between the ranks.
Not at all. Magnus didn’t play well here. He hit cards and got lucky. His reads were off. The same for Alex. Put them in a scenario where they have played thousands of hands and they have had a bad run of cards and get sucked out on the river a few dozen times and you’ll see the difference between them and pro’s. GTO is great for poker, but in live cash games it is far more profitable to effectively deviate.
Can someone explain to me the King's are 4s thing at the end? I don't get it. I already had to look up the 7 2 thing. I thought i knew poker but maybe i missed somet things from only ever playing hold em.
