  1. need i bother saying that Bart is wrong at the end? there are 3 possible better hands on this board.

  2. I love when callers to this show basically mock the V, with their player read and supposed superior skill, and never once consider that the V has sized them up and knows their own image and manipulates the hero into stacking off in an obvious fold situation. Everything after you called the repop on the flop forward was a horrendous play. Yet you found ways to justify it because you have predetermined the V is too much of an guy to outplay you. Which he did. More remarkable, you call this show for help with the hand, justify your decisions the entire call, and learn nothing in the process. Fold. Jesus. If this V is as bad as you claim (questionable evaluation of his skill based on this hand and how he outplayed the hell out of you) , then fold. You will get 10 better opportunities in the session to get stacks in than this one. Jesus. So bad.

  3. You put your foot in your mouth now you cannot take it out. I have played this type of hand where I boated up on the river, only when i was the aggressor from start to finish and felt lucky. Here with V, you should either fold or call on flop in order to realize your equity cheaply.

  4. This is the only regular caller I dislike. He always repeats what Bart says straight away 😡

  5. this action from a rec player screams nut flush! omg its so obvious its unreal, the all in before the turn is almost always the nut flush…think about it, he's doing this because he's not afraid of anything and he doesn't want to loose his action if a spade hits and then he goes all in because it will look much stronger. I think you should be folding here.

  6. If this guy is a true whale, I’d think call given a true whale can actually have things like JJ+ and overvaluing hand. It’s going to depend a lot on player. There is only 3 AA combos, and a few spade combos like AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, QJ, KJ. That’s 9 combos and getting 2:1 he only needs 3 worst hands, plus we have 20% equity. I suppose the flop small bet come over the top may be a telling decision however and maybe that does skew it towards an exploitative fold.
