Poker Tips Video Source & Information:

Sorry guys, I don’t make the rules. It’s time to bow down to our solver overlords and simply accept that seeing a flop with 74-offsuit is simply not a thing. Even in a straddled pot. Even in a double-straddled pot. But the fearless third-best Italian player is having none of it in this hand from @The Lodge Live high stakes poker stream

  1. What a waste of my time listening to him talk about himself. Just shut up and play the hand.

  2. I don't think of it as an "all in bluff". I do think he felt that he might have been counterfeited on the river, but Jake's play had been fairly light which suggests more of a drawing hand than a made hand. As an example, he didn't play it like a QT, his bets all suggested he was at the same place on the flop and turn as he was when he started. To use the expression of you friend Brad Owen, you have to ask what story he is trying to tell. He over bet pre-flop, but then only bet around the same on the flop, checked the turn, and checked the river. If he had hit something on the flop he likely would have wanted to extract a bigger price for it, given that his opponent's range would be bigger. So the story reads "good starting hand, didn't really hit anything". So either it's a solid pair bigger than the board, or just a really good drawing hand. Turn, he slows down. This is important in my mind because the 5 doesn't relate to the rest of the cards out except by being a heart. If he hit the flush, he would at least continue to bet along his pokey 700-1000 range. Checking says "not me". Pier put just enough out there to entice a check raise, and there was none coming. Essentially, Jake already surrendered the hand here. That's the "story" I can see. So it all comes back in reality to an overbet pre-flop. he didn't leave himself enough runway to keep firing.
