    going all in after the river when the other guy has the nuts IS the best way to end a heads up match.

    Funny looking at this hand in the light of 2024. I could be wrong here but…flop click back check raise (and was that a string?). Turn check then river shove?? 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

      @@cwolf208 Thank you (both of you). I asked this same question in another thread.
      In the movie Rounders, Petra says something like "Johnny knows Seidel will bluff at it, has the patience to wait him out" or something like that. But Seidel started the hand with 15 BBs, flopped top pair and had less than a PSB on the river. The river shove seems to be value all the way, hoping for a call from a weaker Q or more likely a hand like JT.

      You got $10,000 chips for your $10,000…it was the easiest way of explaining it to Joe Public. Phil Hellmuth STILL treats tournament chips like dollars even though you start with like 60k chips…. honey he called 2000 dollars on a jack nine suited!!! These idiot players… etc.
