High Stakes Poker - Brad Booth vs Phil Ivey

[bankai1981]

the only thing me and Brad booth have in common is are first name

[howlinggoat]

Does it make any sense for him to do this? If he's gonna balance retarded overbets then he's gonna have plenty of draws on this board, why take such a crap hand and do it?

[johnybrawos]

Brad Booth just kicked Phil Ivies aaassss to pieces! Way to go man!

[johnmrrs]

This is a retarded bet yes he won 37k off ivey but he risked losing over 300k to get it.

[MoveRed]

@johnmrrs Yeah but looking at it this way will not get you no where he is risking 300,000 with a HIGH probability that his opp will fold a better hand there

[xHowintzerx]

i guess phil ivey can be outplayed :)

[Galwaybanana]

cant feel sorry for him we have seen him bust people for millions and that guy that bet that with nothing wow is a freak talk about being in someone's head

[MateDeVita]

wasn't a bad fold... any hand that brad would've seriously played like that would have beaten ivey, except maybe pocket queens.

he simply didn't read the bluff - that's it.

[DARKR3APZ]

brad booth surely would'nt play aces that way, he would try to trap phil if that was the case, daniel your right would have worked that out

[MacBubbles]

@DARKR3APZ

How could Phil have known whether or not Brady would've played aces that way? They hadn't played much before. And, FYI, trapping with AA doesn't always work. If Ivey didn't think Brad had AA, then what would you say that Ivey thought Booth had? Seriously, who's going to ask their opponent for a chip count (on the preflop) holding 3-3, 7-7, 6-6, or 7-6? And, he's not asking for one holding 4-5. Logically, those are the only hands that Ivey couldn't call/beat on an all-in raise here.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

His mind said play, his heart said fold.......

[MacBubbles]

@BlackDynamiteNYC

I think you have it backwards. Ivey has gone on the record to say that the main reason why he folded here was because he hadn't really played with Booth before. So, he didn't know Booth's tendencies/style. And, the raise was so huge on such a small pot (13x Ivey's flop bet), it just didn't make sense to call even though his heart probably told him otherwise. If it was any player he was familiar with, then he probably would've called. But, there were too many unknowns here.

[valfitness]

ok... where the fuck is brad booth now? the guy is weak

[leetDAWG]

@valfitness the poor guy got cheated out of like 3 million online, look it up

[Zee96969696]

how do you beat a play like that, call every time and see the set most of the time? omg, this kind of poker is just fucking sick crazy unbeatable, that's what puts me on tilt, people that beat me in poker, i hate them, i hope they go to heaven

[ilovemymac123]

esfandiari eating. lol

[JRN2222]

Brad Booth's face at 2:22 fkin hilarious while Ivey stares

[adolfolicious]

The age old question: Would he go all in with a hand like a set? or would he try to value bet his hand and milk Ivey?

But, Ivey knows that Brad booth knows that. And Brad Booth knows that Ivey knows that he knows that. etc etc

[fateplus1]

@zex95966 his hand could only beat a bluff there...how can he call

[stonedtoperfection22]

I cant believe Phil laid that hand down. Must be because he cant see brad making that move.

[MrLovingspain]

nice re raise with 4 2

[Baumjohann1980]

@zex95966 oh well lol, you gonna blow up 300 000 $? thats the way to lose money in poker..

[cedromatic]

@prodigy051985 The point is if the player shows immediately, the others players at the table will know how he plays. Therefore, he will be less likely to successfully bluff or to win hands at all during the playing session.

[danportorosa]

instead of throwing only 14,000, 28,000 relaunched, the dish was too high to fold

[aloefgren]

however remember he 3b btn so he could easily have 67s, 66 77, or even aces cause he cant 5b in this spot too obv and his bluffcatching would be gone

[aloefgren]

@1871bismarck

Look again. Its not a rainbow board. There is a flushdraw. I was thinking about hands as 78dd. Still a good fold by the best player today.

[sinio7]

ok phill ivey has 79% and booth 20% wheres the rest 1%?

[muusers]

@sinio7 Tie for pot?

[danportorosa]

@sinio7 Pre-flop, 5 spades or 5 flowers without 3 was divided. 1%. After the flop a 4 and 5, for both scale and was divided. 1%.

[LoowheezeBreeze]

@sinio7 1% chance it comes 4, 5 on the turn and river and they split

[MacBubbles]

@sinio7

Either fractions or most likely the chance of a split pot (e.g., a straight on the board).

[SuperRee2011]

ivey would call that these days

[aloefgren]

i think hes a huge underdog or flipping many of the times. the push was too big to call, its not TOO bad to fold there. cred for booth not giving away anything that made him call tho

[1871bismarck]

@aloefgren what is a flip with kk's, against a 3, 7, 6 off suit? Nothing is the answer. Any set is way ahead, 5-1, any draw is behind way behind, aa\s is way ahead, any lower pair is way behind.

No, there are no flips here. He is either way ahead, which he was, or way behind.

He didnt want to take the chance of running into trips. Thats why he folded.

[LoowheezeBreeze]

@1871bismarck Booth could easily be making that play with the ace high flush draw...which would make it a flip

[Runout89]

@LoowheezeBreeze by far the most intelligent comment on here. I agree.

[edwinaisobese]

haha, esfanidri, "i love you guys"

[mangeunscio]

IVEY WHAT A BAD PLAYER HE DONT DESERVE TOO BE THERE

[brighteye007]

@mangeunscio He clearly tells a story of how he just hit his 45 diamonds , but now is scared of the diamond flush, that is the reason of the allin. If Ivey had AK diamond, this move would make a call very hard.

Great bluff... and actually a good fold. ( unless Ivey got a read on some weakness, and as he is one of the pokerworlds best readers i assume he didnt.)

[dpeni77]

@mangeunscio

What???? Are your a better player???? Is that why your sitting at home watching on youtube while hes playing!

[mangeunscio]

@dpeni77 No one is better then another one at poker its a lots of lucks 2 ........ tell me who i should call to play at that table hen and i will go ...... would u tell me too david benyaminne is a good player hahhahaha go see the play he did agains guy laliberte

[dpeni77]

@mangeunscio

Dude i couldnt even understand what you were saying

[mangeunscio]

@dpeni77 POKER IS 20 PERCENT SKILL AND 80 PERCENT LUCK ........ THOSE GUYS ARE JUST LUCKY TOO BE THERE ....... THEY ARE THERE CAUSE THEY KNOW THE GOOD PERSON

[TranceSuperWave]

What a retarded play .. what if Ivey called? He wouldve lost all that money. DONK!

[Araknophobik]

brad booth has the sexiest chip stack i've ever seen

look at all those denominations

and the 300k in cash bricks

makes my mouth water

[Minsheme]

I was skipping through this video to see what actually happened in the hand and laughed so fucking hard when I heard "I love you" for a split second. Don't know why.

[ciresaru94]

@Minsheme You probably heard Antonio Esfandiari (the guy who is eating).He actually says "I love Yukon",because Brad Booth's nickname is Yukon

[foolioperez]

The fact that ivey took from (2:01) to (4:04) shows discipline many poker players do not possess

[tommyXBOX360]

@foolioperez The irony of you comment is that phil actually had the best hand

[shroey20]

David benyamine needs to shut the FUCK up in the middle of this hand.

[robnwk2006]

@shroey20 YES! Agreed!

[yousnotright]

fulltilt scumbag ivey

[TalentedMrshark]

nice move but is he still playing with the top dogs or is he broke now?

[laistar]

@TalentedMrshark he's quite broke, in an interview he said he was focusing on paying people back I believe.

[pennywise247]

@TalentedMrshark he went broke after this playing online

[2tame4fame]

you should tag this "a moment of insanity"...

[Iamwatchingyou75]

I just love how they stacked up their chips in those old episodes of HSP.

[TamaNewb]

I want a brink

[thespacialone]

I really thought he was going to call

[CoLLecToR91]

300k bet into 50k pot? Thats poker at its highest

its entertaining to watch, instead of Mueller or Lederer folding KQs to 1 bet preflop etc

[VicenzoV]

phil's look at 4:24 says it all... " wait a minute, what the fuck did i just do?? :S "

[veezbokumar]

@VicenzoV I think Brad just let his guard down after the hand and Phil realized that it was a bluff as a result.

[diggy3746]

@VicenzoV you know we've all been in that spot though. i definitely would have done the same in ivey's spot.

[chazsinohui]

Man I would've snapped, but then again...

[NinziAkaPaxi]

I really wanted him to call and see that 5 of hearts on the river.

[delpierocro]

Brad booth is so obnoxious

[wrath0ff]

0:23 that look is awesome lol

[Pli55k3n]

@wrath0ff poker face

[KwNJn1]

brad is Awesome

[haterz811]

i want to see phil ivey vs chino

[marshallbrooks1]

risks 300k to win 53k? either this guy is not very good or he's the one person with dead reads on ivey

[tanocaridi1251978]

@marshallbrooks1 That is correct, if ivey calls one on five you lose in long period..

[marshallbrooks1]

@tanocaridi1251978 what

[tanocaridi1251978]

@marshallbrooks1 this bluff is unprofitable if you get called one time over five

[andrew1903]

@tanocaridi1251978 That isn't right. Brad still has equity so you have to include the equity he still has if Ivey calls.

[shaddowkillah]

Shut up D.B! Ivey is trying to think!

[cleanuptomcat2]

thats why brad booth in real life is broke now...i feel so sorry for the poor guy...

[theejoebright]

LITERALLY FUCK THAT

[SimLees]

4:24 bet phil ivey was just thinking 'donk'

[lewnik69]

IF I WAS BLUFFING RIGHT THERE...I WOULD NOT WANT PHIL IVEY STARING ME DOWN!! SOD THAT

[lewnik69]

DIDNT KNOW EDDIE MURPHY PLAYED POKER!!

[RossTheBalla05]

donkey move

[SpikeyOut]

I would never fold in that spot, the only logical hand you make a call on a reraise is a high pocket pair or ace king. If he had aces I doubt he would shove like that on a dry board. Also the chances are very small that he has a better hand there, odds wise you can call in this spot. Because you in 90% of the cases ahead, so as long as you not more than 9 times wrong, you will play with profit in the long therm.

I find it a terrible fold of Ivey.

[DarawixK9]

@SpikeyOut: sry bro i think your wrong. Ya C in a deep staked cash game the pre flop calling hands to a small four bet, are much wider than they would be in another type of game. When I originally saw this hand, I myself thought Ivey's laydown was flawed. after thinking about the hand, and factoring in how likely it is that Brad might have called with a small pair preflop, and flopped a set, or a staight, i think it was a excellent lay down in the long wrong. Plus Ivey had NO pot odds!

[theejoebright]

@SpikeyOut for the exact reasons u gave, phil folded. when a play like that happens it throws everything out of balance. there is no possible way phil can call which is exactly why brad did that.

[MrUndead115]

@SpikeyOut: How can you claim that Brad's range is 99+/AK in this spot WHEN YOU CAN SEE HE HAS 42!

You know for a fact that his range is much much wider, you can see it right there!!

[alive2k7]

Brad might balance his play and do this shove sometimes with a set but i think ( i may be wrong) that it's more likely to be a sick bluff (big moniez: 300k shove ) on TV for ego so i don't think he is gonna do that with a set and "spew" the chance to get value from overpairs on later street by shoving a set here

[R088O]

I wish so badly Ivey called this just to see who would have actually WON!

[h3llhAndz]

lets see him pull that off against the bankers

[oustandingmusic]

i think the point of his laydown was the question before the flop:

"how much u got there?"

pkt Aces play

[alive2k7]

@oustandingmusic

No, asking your opponent his stack is more likely indicating that the guy is setmining with a small pair or that he has suited connectors so he is counting his implied odds.

Since he completely overbets shoves the flop, it doesn't look like he has flopped a set, he would more likely raise someting in a 60-75k range if he had a set IMO

[jthrillsnskills]

ivey has booth on a flush draw or something and doesnt wanna gamble with him

[alive2k7]

@jthrillsnskills

Would be retarded cause with KK against a range of flush draws you're +EV with the money already in the pot

If Booth had a naked flush draw Ivey would be ahead, if he had like AJdd even with the Aces outs added he has still most equity with his kings, Ivey is a bit sick if the guy has like Pair + nut flush draw (so A7dd) or Open ender + flush draw (like 89dd) but with money in the pot i think it's still +EV to call.

So if Ivey thought Booth had a flush draw he would snap obv

[jthrillsnskills]

please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil please fold phil

[NoStyleLOL]

sick raise

[cheezilius]

very easy call for any competent player. Who is that black guy?? No idea how to play, stick to mid stakes bro

[troycm89]

@cheezilius Too many spots that he's way behind against aces or a set, too many coin flips against hands like AQdd, and it's just irrational to put Booth on betting $300,000 with complete air or even to put him on a naked pair like queens that Ivey can beat. Ivey may have a big overpair, but he's getting a bad price to call against Booth's perceived range, even if that range were to be that wide and have a lot of semi-bluffs. I guess that's why he's ballin and youre still playing micro stakes.

[maven21]

@cheezilius Who the fuck are you??!!! Thats Phil Ivey hes won the WSP 8 times and considered one of the top players has won millions against top competition. I am sorry where are the clips of you winning a WSP tour? Where are the clips of you going against the top players in the world? Since you don't know who this guy is you must not play and you playing gin against your grandma who is in a coma and your friends in the girl scouts for boxes of cookies dosen't count. Fucking keyboard warrior

[padobah]

@maven21 I think cheezilius was kidding hot shot, take the sarcasm

[MarketTeen]

this way a -EV play by booth yeah he made the straight this time but in the long run hell be losing money playing like this.

[itstonymacaroni]

@MarketTeen Um, no, he doesn't have a straight. He has 4-high. Also, EV in the conventional sense doesn't really apply here. This is all meta-game, executed perfectly by Brad Booth.

Plus the fact that he is pwning the greatest player of all time makes it even better.

[DoeDunmore]

i did something similar with a gut shot, made the fella lay down aa. love a making them fold the better hand. but when you get caught it hurts!

[Gforcebond]

brad booth went busto hmmm i wonder why lol

[mitchfricano]

brad booth has balls

[YukonBradBooth]

its not a pirate shit !! :) i quite like it :)

[itstonymacaroni]

Is Brad Booth wearing the pirate shirt from Seinfeld?

[marshallbrooks1]

@itstonymacaroni LMFAO

[bottleracket]

@itstonymacaroni "I dont wanna be a pirate."

[bottleracket]

Negreanu woulda called that in a second

[danielvandam]

@bottleracket no he wouldnt?

[bottleracket]

@danielvandam Guess you didn't the see the exact same situation - Negreanu vs Matasow - Matasow goes allin for 200K with a draw. Negreanu call with one overpair in his hand.

[danielvandam]

@bottleracket true, I didnt but I do know Negreanu thinks the situation through very well every time. I think that must have been a total missread then

[darkkeijp]

@bottleracket NO he would have tanked and attentionw****d for 5 min. Then he would have called. 

[MacBubbles]

@bottleracket

Yeah, but Hellmuth woulda called that and woulda gotten beaten by runner-runner, "What is going on here... The guy calls me with 4-2. He's practically just giving me his money... I knew he was weak. I got him all in... What is this?!"

[fezwannabe]

@MacBubbles haha yeah Hellmuth has always bad luck=) sometimes i feel sorry for him..^^

[dbtbandit67]

@bottleracket which isn't a good thing lol

[zzzgdap]

Phil Ivey. Noob.

[draleee3]

good lay down... Fuc* 54K .. Ivey the Great !

[ger002]

why do people think this was bad??? he almost had a straight!!!!!!

[simos901]

brad's look at 3:02 says it all... " wait a minute,what the fuck did i just do?? :S "

[golfmaniac007]

@simos901 i read differently. i read "FOLD FOLD FOLD FOLD!!!!!!!!!!"

[kuja900]

@CardSharkVeteran No he did not. He would not have made this play without the equity with the backdoor draw and gutshot. He called initially because they are both very very very deep for the blinds they are playing making it profitable to call Ivey's 3bet with suited/gap suited connectors.

[plstrom]

EHEHE! Esfandiari is eating at the poker table , on tv, high stakes game , full table and he fold already.. LOL

STAND UP AND GO EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE..

[khangbob]

But Ivey folded, didn't he?

[evanskrete1]

there are not much to talk about....he called a big re-raise from ivey with 4-2....stupid...

[gnillortmi]

@evanskrete1 right,play 42 in a bad position is wrong,it doesnt matters to me what happens after that

[fliptthescript]

oh god dwan does this all the time over bet pots for 30 k and risk 100s of thousands eveyrone says oh great play bull.

[kuja900]

@fliptthescript you dont understand. dwan does this not just to win pot but so that when he makes that move when he has the goods he can get more calls in those situations

[kuja900]

@fliptthescript It works because he does that same play with his value hands allowing him to makeup the difference in risking 100k to win 30k allowing him to get called when he has it more often.

[TheH0lyGrail]

Brad Booth is tha man XD

[bestpokercoach]

I still don't like that play.

[iitstu]

The only thing that doesnt make sense to me is why he re raised Williams, because normally wouldn't you just flat call a utg raise with 6's or 7's?

[johnsmith7490]

US players are able to play real poker on pokerview

[TomiAk47]

this is called the "kill-phil" strategy... moronic play, this is fish-poker nothin else

[lavy90salento]

quando negreanu aveva ancora i capelli!!!!

[beroe7]

From 2:22 - 2:25 he shows weakness.

[kevinqa]

@beroe7 saw the same shit

[sydneymassive]

@beroe7 That's how I would act if I had a strong hand if someone was staring me down.

[thedudeabides97]

I think it was a good fold.

[Psycolynch]

risk 280k to win 28k, You better know he is gonna fold!

[TheH0lyGrail]

yesterday i got outplayed by alot of youtube pro's, i told Daniel Negreanu all of  it ;)

[AllstarHunE]

stupid fold.

[Wirzum]

@AllstarHunE u you phil ivey didn't see his cards?!?!

[johnsmith7490]

pokerview accepts us players very good reliable site

[1234bboys]

Phil Ivey..... Awesome Poker Player... my sister's husband works with him... this is a Poker game right here.....

[Izaak247]

If you look at brad it's so obvious he's bluffing... I say 'obvious' whether I could make the call is a completely different question because the natter of the fact is it's such a terrible mad insane just wild play that I would almost surely convince myself that hew trying to act nervous and he's a grate actor

[aka3lfLo]

can that fat fuck in the pink shirt stfu

[scatman57]

@ryspa86 @ verva44 You guys realize Yukon Brad is one of the best cash game players in the world right? But, by all means, keep the analysis coming.

[SCUBONZIES]

SUCKED HIM
