gotta love the people calling mercier an idiot, the guys THE best tournament player out there at the moment and has come from no where over the last few years and won more in tournaments than alot of top pro's, but yeah hes an idiot, fucking best tournament playing idiot, fucking loser with his 5 mil in winnings over 3 years
Ivey was getting 3:1, so he needs to win 25% of the time. Ivey had two outs if he was behind which gives him 8%. Mercier will be bluffing some of the time. Honestly it was more of a math call than anything else. Mercier should have realized that with his all in the pot ballooned to the point where Ivey was priced into calling him. Not that I think Iveys play is all the great, I mean it's probably breakeven or a little bit better than that at best (he knew you can tell from his frustration
You have to semi bluff to win money on the long run you just can't wait an UPS player to ship you his stack.
So if you think having 32% equity on a semi bluff shove is terribad, you must never bluff so you must be a nit, therefore you're super exploitable (but since you play with microdonks you're still ev+) On midstakes you would be crushed so bad against thinking players who balance well their ranges and analyse any spots
LOL with 50k in Jason has almost enough equity to shove (if he has 0 FE) with his
30ish% equity so considering the fact that his FE is not 0( Ivey could bluff raise and then fold losing 78k) his shove is always ev+
But i guess you must be a micro stakes player with 0 process thinking whatsoever so yeah you probably think you're good having 3BB/100 on NL10 against guys calling your shove on a AKx board with K6
But against good players (so higher limits) you HAVE to semi bluff with overs +gutter
Standard shove by Mercier with the A outs, the gutshot + bd flush + FE since he can easily represents QQ+ here (preflop 3bet and cbet/3bet shove on this flop)
Stupid Idiot : the guy has always like 8 outs (his A outs are 95% live) his gutshot always live, and a BD flush gives about 4% equity (which equals 1 out) so he has always about 30% equity he has already put 50k (pre and cbet in the pot) and has FE
Since you're a fckin nit who can't bet/shoves with A high, a BD flush and a gutshot, for sure you would have put him on QQ+, therefore if you were in Ivey's spot you would have folded your 99.
@alive2k7 It's probably beyond your intellectual capacity to make a reply without insulting ppl, right?
Go ahead and shove it all in with 30% or less equity. Players like you pay me off all the time with marginal draws like gut shots and overcards and that always makes me lough so hard lol. Please keep playing the way you do, that's of essential importance for my winrate.

@Yekkt Don't drink the coolaid guy. The poker marketing machine FABRICATED pros. Some are good, some are great, some are lucky, some are gamblers. But alot of these pros are making more in sponsorship deals than poker.
at 3:19 right before ivey calls if u listen closely you can hear him say " suck my dick already, i don't give a fuck" truely disgusting i thought so much better of him before this
I could not have made that call, I would've certainly insta-folded because it would've been too likely that he had QQ+. Nice try Jason, but that's why Phil Ivey is one of the best.
Merciers play is great imo, proper semi bluff with close to a 1 in 3 shot to win the hand vs any likely holding that ivey may have except for a set. Iveys call is actually not as hard as it looks: Ivey still has decent odds if Mercier only squeezes with the top 5% of this hand, which is wa tighter then he plays. The problem for Mercier is that if he doesn't put Ivey on a flopped set, he will also not put him on a hand as strong as 99, ass that would probable be top of Iveys rangein that spot
Ivey called only for stack to pot ratio, he know that Mercier could squeeze with a wide range with that dead money on the pot.
There was 300.000 in the pot and Ivey has to put 100.000, so he's 3to1 and he has to be good 1 time on 4 to make profit, thinking on the Mercier's squeeze range is a good play but he was scary about the call.
I'm shocked that Jason "luckbox" Mercier didn't suck out on Ivey. Mercier sucks out on the whole world. This goes to prove that Ivey is a poker God and suckerproof.
@kevinbailey1974 Suck Mercier's dick... Do you even watch any of Mercier's tournaments? Everytime he shoves all in, he's bluffing. When he raises, he does it for value w/ the best hand. Ivey's call was not a hero call... it's standard. You can't bluff a guy who has 14 million in tournament earnings and probably has another 25-30 million in cash games... especially when he's already invested that much money in the pot. Ivey isn't going anywhere when he's raised out of position.
@gambitazul You really don't know much about poker at all, if you think Ivey's call was "standard." For a "standard" play, Ivey sure thought about it for a long time. And the fact is, it WAS a hero call. I don't even think Ivey himself would say it wasn't. He called with bottom pair, for a ton of his chips. That's basically the definition of a hero call. You're a hero if it works out, an idiot if you're wrong.
@treezX I actually was confusing this hand with another, where Ivey made a more "heroic" call, with bottom pair and an ace kicker. This wasn't as much of a hero call, but there were three made sets that would have had him crushed, as well as any pair 10's through A's.
@kevinbailey1974 ok fair enough...i agree its still a tough call to make, i think im folding 99 most of the time in that spot because like you say, there are so many hands that have him crushed
The chips are for tipping, it's like chopping a pot if it's folded all the way around no matter what you have. You do it regardless of condition because it's PRINCIPLE.
@joecugo your an idiot....you always tip the dealer for their service. I play live poker 5-5 and 5-10 no limit and we never use our 1$ chips....those are for tiping. I wont be answering anymore because you seem like a broke person and i cant allow myself to talk to you anymore.
Iveys good but to say he could read the kids soul isn't true. When he called he actually thought there was a good chance he was beat. Was a good play by both but only one wins. One thing jason didn't take into account when trying to bluff phil ivey is that ivey is worth more than the entire table combined, x5 probably, and is probably the only one properly rolled for the game.
That's not a loose call Ivey was playing the player, because many people know mecier is aggressive and luvs to bluff,
2 ways you play that guy , Either stare every bet he toss your way till the river, or move all in on him if he re-raise you . The guy luvs to re-raise with marginal hands in hopes of bluffing you after the flop.
It's not the amount of money but the number of big blinds. Think of chips as units and you will actually crush these players because you will play fundamentally. If you cannot stomach the monetary value, you shouldn't be playing at these stakes at the first place.
I think ivey made the called because he was angry about the fact he raised it to 70k and couldnt just fold to merciers 28k. i dont think he believed he was ahead all the ppl saying great call are crazy. Ivey thought he was beat, and made a stubburn call; i am a huge PI fan but this was not one of his soul readng calls it was simply a situation where he thought he was beat and decided to call off anyways. The bluff shoulda worked, ivey knows that he is beat 9/10 times in that spot but still calld
you people should stop praising Ivey just because he's the best in the world. yeah he's the best but this call is not a great play but it's a big mistake. start thinking for yourselves people, u got your own brain i guess...
@bogdan314MT One thing I'll say is that when Gambling in general, you're taking risks...Although poker has a guideline in which players should make decisions, if you were to follow those guidelines 100% of the time...you'd miss out on small random *leap of faith* chances WHICH could sometimes benefit you...but yea...of course Phil didn't make the best move...lol but bottom line... he benefited...
am I the only one here to see that Ivey actually made a pretty loose call and an obvious mistake? why everybody thinking of aces or kings? mercier actually played this as if he had precisely tens or jacks or probably even queens, it makes a lot more sense as he would slowplay aces or kings on the flop but he would legitimately raise tens or jacks just like he did, probably more inclined to jacks or queens considering the preflop action but let's not forget that the original raiser was gus hansen
I think Jason played the hand very well, representing Aces or Kings on every street. Like Gabe said, he would have had me convinced.Simply because Jason seemed nervous and uncomfortable at this table, I wouldnt expect him to make that play with anything less than AA or KK. It's just a bit unfair that Phil Ivey is that damn good.
@ScottishDoonie For some reason when I first watched this vid I thought Jason was wayy out of his league, trying to make a move like that against one of the best in the world. But now on a second viewing I have to say, too, that he played that very convincingly.... I just don't know how the hell Phil coulda called that lol (Maybe the next level up would see what Phil is seeing, like "Why would he play his Kings like that? Surely at this point he'd see that I could see he's playing Kings"
Yeah all these fags that play micro stakes online come into these comments and try to explain to the people that make a living from playing poker (and millions at that ) how to play poker.
i think its funny, if i was playing low stakes and i had jasons hand and i decided to play it that way and someone made thatcall with iveys hand, id roll my eyes and say cant bluff an idiot, but ivey makes that call and its genius, dont getme wrong ivey is brilliant and jason is good too, but ya know what im sayin here
the answer to what u say its simple, its not the same to bluff for 2 bucks, than for 400000 bucks. in low stakes there are a lot of morons that bluff with crap because they dont care, so in that case the person that calls is not a genius its pretty normal to call those things when u know that is full of donks. now, when u are playing 400k, if sb does that, and you suspect that may be lieing, man, u certainly have skills, i would have folded without doubting, but no ivey.
ivey never runs it twice coz he is a winning player. if you put your money in good more than 50% of the time, and ivey does better, then you are winning
Am I wrong if I think that if Ivey was up against Negreanu, Doyle, or Antonius he would have let them run it twice? And him saying alright if you got me you got me, and then setting the chips right in front of Mercier is a bit classless. If I was Mercier at 4:29, I would make Ivey get his own fucking chips.
@Fantasy23Legend nah phil always always runs it once, conversely negreanu always runs it twice. i think in that situation players who do both (like myself) would just run it the one time with ivey's hand. and it wasn't classless, he was saying what gabe dictated "i guess you've got me" i.e. he's calling with a marginal hand that he feels is good... jason obv knows he's in dire straights when ivey says 'call' no matter what :)
@Fantasy23Legend i really don't think he would, in any case with 9s in that spot i think you'd be a fool to. negreanu says at some point during the season "you always run it once phil? no matter what, right? i always do twice" (and obviously if opinion's divided straight poker gets the decision). greenstein and ivey run it once by default
@Th3Z0ne he was still like 32% favorite to win so he wasn't in horrible shape. That was a good play considering the fold equity he has along with the times he gets called and has to suck out.
@TacoMaster07 Yea, i think the 5 tempted him too much. The thing is jason's a tournie specialist, making plays like this seldom work against a nosebleed cash game specialist. A cash game player will make mincemeat out of a tournament player in this format, and after all this is a tournament play. That said, I like the play given his image.
@TacoMaster07 Uhhh... 'scuse me sir, but when you're a 32%, you're NOT the fovorite... you're the dog. The favorite would be the guy with the 68% lol.
john697200 that's because they always come after him. Ivey devours EVERY1 eventually. Dwan only gets him to lay it down because he understands Iveys not gonna fold his read unless it's REALLY fucking expensive.
Allright man, lets play soon my full tilt poker name is triia8543 =)
And its been confirmed
I learned on the Full Tilt Poker official blog recently you can currently make a new account on the Full Tilt web page using the bonus code AMERICAS if ya don't currently have one with em.I think it's the best way if you're a new player to start playing.. Your 1st deposit will be DOUBLED in addition to a few other nice benefits!!!
Honestly, Phil Iveys call after Jason Mercier goes allin is no skills! he called thinking he was beat and jus could not fold. I watched every episode of High Stakes Poker that season and Jason was extremely tight. Phil Ivey as great as he is sometimes things just go his way and people give him chips.
Ivey's no donkey. Jason's going to bet that flop with his entire range from preflop, including AK, AQ, and all random suited connecting cards and junk he made a move with. Ivey beats a HUGE amount of those hands, and he can't just call because there are literally over 20 cards in the deck that he doesn't want to see on the turn. He wants to end the hand now while he's ahead, and when you raise there, you do NOT fold to a shove. Your hand has NO value if you do. Ivey's right, as usual.
@EGarrett01 Im not saying Ivey is a donk at all, to me he is the best player in the world. But this call was a miserable i cant fold so here. Ivery though he was beat and he called, he is very lucky jason was bluffing. Trust me, ivey did not think he was ahead when he called.
i don't see how jason can call this, i don't see how ivey can call this lol they both call

I could not have made that call, I would've certainly insta-folded because it would've been too likely that he had QQ+. Nice try Jason, but that's why Phil Ivey is one of the best.

Merciers play is great imo, proper semi bluff with close to a 1 in 3 shot to win the hand vs any likely holding that ivey may have except for a set. Iveys call is actually not as hard as it looks: Ivey still has decent odds if Mercier only squeezes with the top 5% of this hand, which is wa tighter then he plays. The problem for Mercier is that if he doesn't put Ivey on a flopped set, he will also not put him on a hand as strong as 99, ass that would probable be top of Iveys rangein that spot

Ivey called only for stack to pot ratio, he know that Mercier could squeeze with a wide range with that dead money on the pot.
There was 300.000 in the pot and Ivey has to put 100.000, so he's 3to1 and he has to be good 1 time on 4 to make profit, thinking on the Mercier's squeeze range is a good play but he was scary about the call.

@gambitazul Mercier made a great play, you douchebag. Ivey just made a hero call, and was right.
kevinbailey1974 8 months ago
@kevinbailey1974 Suck Mercier's dick... Do you even watch any of Mercier's tournaments? Everytime he shoves all in, he's bluffing. When he raises, he does it for value w/ the best hand. Ivey's call was not a hero call... it's standard. You can't bluff a guy who has 14 million in tournament earnings and probably has another 25-30 million in cash games... especially when he's already invested that much money in the pot. Ivey isn't going anywhere when he's raised out of position.
gambitazul 8 months ago
@gambitazul You really don't know much about poker at all, if you think Ivey's call was "standard." For a "standard" play, Ivey sure thought about it for a long time. And the fact is, it WAS a hero call. I don't even think Ivey himself would say it wasn't. He called with bottom pair, for a ton of his chips. That's basically the definition of a hero call. You're a hero if it works out, an idiot if you're wrong.
kevinbailey1974 8 months ago
@kevinbailey1974 i wouldnt say it was a hero call, thats a stretch...wasnt like he had bottom pair with a shitty kicker
treezX 8 months ago
@treezX I actually was confusing this hand with another, where Ivey made a more "heroic" call, with bottom pair and an ace kicker. This wasn't as much of a hero call, but there were three made sets that would have had him crushed, as well as any pair 10's through A's.
kevinbailey1974 8 months ago
@kevinbailey1974 ok fair enough...i agree its still a tough call to make, i think im folding 99 most of the time in that spot because like you say, there are so many hands that have him crushed

Iveys good but to say he could read the kids soul isn't true. When he called he actually thought there was a good chance he was beat. Was a good play by both but only one wins. One thing jason didn't take into account when trying to bluff phil ivey is that ivey is worth more than the entire table combined, x5 probably, and is probably the only one properly rolled for the game.

That's not a loose call Ivey was playing the player, because many people know mecier is aggressive and luvs to bluff,
2 ways you play that guy , Either stare every bet he toss your way till the river, or move all in on him if he re-raise you . The guy luvs to re-raise with marginal hands in hopes of bluffing you after the flop.

It's not the amount of money but the number of big blinds. Think of chips as units and you will actually crush these players because you will play fundamentally. If you cannot stomach the monetary value, you shouldn't be playing at these stakes at the first place.

I think ivey made the called because he was angry about the fact he raised it to 70k and couldnt just fold to merciers 28k. i dont think he believed he was ahead all the ppl saying great call are crazy. Ivey thought he was beat, and made a stubburn call; i am a huge PI fan but this was not one of his soul readng calls it was simply a situation where he thought he was beat and decided to call off anyways. The bluff shoulda worked, ivey knows that he is beat 9/10 times in that spot but still calld

@bogdan314MT One thing I'll say is that when Gambling in general, you're taking risks...Although poker has a guideline in which players should make decisions, if you were to follow those guidelines 100% of the time...you'd miss out on small random *leap of faith* chances WHICH could sometimes benefit you...but yea...of course Phil didn't make the best move...lol but bottom line... he benefited...
vStreetStruckv 11 months ago
am I the only one here to see that Ivey actually made a pretty loose call and an obvious mistake? why everybody thinking of aces or kings? mercier actually played this as if he had precisely tens or jacks or probably even queens, it makes a lot more sense as he would slowplay aces or kings on the flop but he would legitimately raise tens or jacks just like he did, probably more inclined to jacks or queens considering the preflop action but let's not forget that the original raiser was gus hansen

I think Jason played the hand very well, representing Aces or Kings on every street. Like Gabe said, he would have had me convinced.Simply because Jason seemed nervous and uncomfortable at this table, I wouldnt expect him to make that play with anything less than AA or KK. It's just a bit unfair that Phil Ivey is that damn good.
ScottishDoonie 1 year ago
@ScottishDoonie For some reason when I first watched this vid I thought Jason was wayy out of his league, trying to make a move like that against one of the best in the world. But now on a second viewing I have to say, too, that he played that very convincingly.... I just don't know how the hell Phil coulda called that lol (Maybe the next level up would see what Phil is seeing, like "Why would he play his Kings like that? Surely at this point he'd see that I could see he's playing Kings"

@plutobrain1
the answer to what u say its simple, its not the same to bluff for 2 bucks, than for 400000 bucks. in low stakes there are a lot of morons that bluff with crap because they dont care, so in that case the person that calls is not a genius its pretty normal to call those things when u know that is full of donks. now, when u are playing 400k, if sb does that, and you suspect that may be lieing, man, u certainly have skills, i would have folded without doubting, but no ivey.

ivey never runs it twice coz he is a winning player. if you put your money in good more than 50% of the time, and ivey does better, then you are winning
gix500 1 year ago
Am I wrong if I think that if Ivey was up against Negreanu, Doyle, or Antonius he would have let them run it twice? And him saying alright if you got me you got me, and then setting the chips right in front of Mercier is a bit classless. If I was Mercier at 4:29, I would make Ivey get his own fucking chips.
Fantasy23Legend 1 year ago
@Fantasy23Legend nah phil always always runs it once, conversely negreanu always runs it twice. i think in that situation players who do both (like myself) would just run it the one time with ivey's hand. and it wasn't classless, he was saying what gabe dictated "i guess you've got me" i.e. he's calling with a marginal hand that he feels is good... jason obv knows he's in dire straights when ivey says 'call' no matter what :)
Th3Z0ne 1 year ago
@Th3Z0ne You didnt answer my question. If it was Negreanu he was up against, Ivey would run it twice. There is no doubt in my mind.
Fantasy23Legend 1 year ago
@Fantasy23Legend i really don't think he would, in any case with 9s in that spot i think you'd be a fool to. negreanu says at some point during the season "you always run it once phil? no matter what, right? i always do twice" (and obviously if opinion's divided straight poker gets the decision). greenstein and ivey run it once by default
Th3Z0ne 1 year ago
@Th3Z0ne he was still like 32% favorite to win so he wasn't in horrible shape. That was a good play considering the fold equity he has along with the times he gets called and has to suck out.
TacoMaster07 1 year ago
@TacoMaster07 Yea, i think the 5 tempted him too much. The thing is jason's a tournie specialist, making plays like this seldom work against a nosebleed cash game specialist. A cash game player will make mincemeat out of a tournament player in this format, and after all this is a tournament play. That said, I like the play given his image.

Honestly, Phil Iveys call after Jason Mercier goes allin is no skills! he called thinking he was beat and jus could not fold. I watched every episode of High Stakes Poker that season and Jason was extremely tight. Phil Ivey as great as he is sometimes things just go his way and people give him chips.
IK407 1 year ago
@IK407
Ivey's no donkey. Jason's going to bet that flop with his entire range from preflop, including AK, AQ, and all random suited connecting cards and junk he made a move with. Ivey beats a HUGE amount of those hands, and he can't just call because there are literally over 20 cards in the deck that he doesn't want to see on the turn. He wants to end the hand now while he's ahead, and when you raise there, you do NOT fold to a shove. Your hand has NO value if you do. Ivey's right, as usual.
EGarrett01 1 year ago
@EGarrett01 Im not saying Ivey is a donk at all, to me he is the best player in the world. But this call was a miserable i cant fold so here. Ivery though he was beat and he called, he is very lucky jason was bluffing. Trust me, ivey did not think he was ahead when he called.
