first he said he wants to pot control, and then a change of mind greed decided to bloat the pot and then bets the river and fold to a check raise/shoved, why would you bloat that turn when u r not even sure where u at…outplayed and dumb play.
Nice pot control on the turn with a check-raise… What the heck?
i will call this every day ^^ 🙂
I don't like the way randy played this hand this time actually. Firstly he checks the turn for pot control but then decides the villains bet is still a drawing hand rather than a made hand so then decides to raise and bloat the pot anyways. Secondly he leads the river and i much prefer a check call on the river all day. Why? Easy. If you check and villain goes all in…i would be pretty happy to fold k8 especially given the amount of aggresion randy has shown in this hand. I think this makes it alot less likely the villain would bluff that river. Secondly, if you check and villain bets say 190,000 ya can call it off and get to showdown without risking all your chips. Leaving you with a stack the same as LEADING the river with a bet and folding to a shove and not getting to show down. The benefits are pretty simple is this case and think nanonoko made a few mistakes here. However randy is an amazing player and these are just my thoughts on the way the hand played out
I like the fold on the river, our opponent had the option to end the hand with a call, but instead raised in a spot with almost no fold equity. I would see him only having AJ clubs, but even then it's a clear fold for him, there are better bluff spots. If you have AJ clubs, what can we get to fold?
I much prefer a lead on the turn then a check call on that blank river
Well i am no pro but if the pokerstars pro had went ALLIN after the flop the other could not call with a gut shot.
anybody else finds the call from villain bad? i mean he got checkraised on a super dry board, and only has a gutshot to drastically improve his hand, mb the club 10 isnt even a out for him anymore too.
randy high af
It also sounds like Randy would have called the all to see the Villain's cards, except the Villain was required to show the cards without a call. Hats off to Randy for making good lay down though, even if he could have easily taken the pot down on the flop. Two pair on the flop–at that point you got to ask yourself what you are going to do later on, and I don't much like the thought of calling two pair down all the way, and neither did Randy. Two pair, as Randy admitted when he tucked his tail between his legs and took off, is not a strong holding.
