Love playing Blackjack? What if there were truly a secret that nobody knew about with respect to the game of blackjack? And what if the very thing everybody thought were true about blackjack, was actually the exact opposite of the truth? Check us out
A good skillful poker player can just get angry and cry now becoz donks are every where. They will call your AK with K9, QQ with Q10, AA with J8 and will win some how. Donks are the poker players now,both online and in live games.
Poker is dead now,once it was all about skills and now its all about luck. So whats the point to play poker now ?
Live donkaments! Not saying I would ever fold there, especially considering the action (check x3 OTF and OTT), but there's 0% chance Romanello would fold if that dude didn't give off ridiculous tells.
3 people in with 600, pot is 1950. So the action is 50/100 and the comments say Geller made a big 3bet to 600. Not unreasonable to put someone on KK/AA then, the board changes nothing then and it's an easy fold.
Outstanding play from Romanello. Only two reactions to be made. 1. Internet reaction... 'Easy laydown, it was obvious' 2. Real reaction... what Mike said!
That's a stupid fold. if he folds this over long time he will have trouble, cause he will be wrong way more times than he will be right. but maybe he picked up a tell cause otherwise i don't see how he folded jack's FULL. In my case i wouldn't think in call, i would think in shove ALL_IN. ...LOL.
@b1nside it was a brilliant fold. kk made a high raise preflop there are not many possible hands reraising him on this river! AT would not raise preflop so high, a Q would have bet the turn, AK AJ AQ wouldnt reraise just call. possible hands just AA KK TT and all beat ur JJ
@behoerdenspacko Did you see Matusow reaction? Did you see commentator's reaction? laydown jack's full!? Are u a fucking dumb??? grow up and go play your 0.01/0.02$ games
pretty easy fold. the guy isn't raising him with a Q, or a T. so he isn't beating anything other than a bluff at that point, and you'd have to be a damn fool to bluff on that board. Any XT hand would have bet its pair and two pair before the river. and his story is easy. he checked the flop, which meant he was ultra strong, but then checked the turn because the Q just got there 3 handed, and then fills up on the river and all of a sudden springs into action? ez fold, just tough to have the guts
i have similiar situationon the internet poker ... i had tris of ace but i fold because i know the other had flush ... you feel bad when you fold that ...
You DON'T put someone on AA or KK everytime just because he raises pre-flop you idiot.
Plus Geller's raise to 600 is BBx6 could easily show that he is representing Pocket 10's or 9's or AK/AQ/AJ too.
Flop and turn actions were both checked. There was no possible tell in what each other had. Geller's re-raise on the river could easily show that he is representing the 1-card straight or an 10-A boat. Folding equity for Romanello was NIL.
@captcool420 He didnt say anything interesting IIRC. He just rambled a bit before ESPN switched to another table. I'm a Mikey fan, if it was interesting I would have included it
@lmlove80 Only part of the video I like lol. I hate that people praise this lay down so much. The dude was right this time, long term though...eh idk.

I think if the KK guy had stuck to his guns and said he wasn't showing, that the JJ guy may well have called. I really don't know how you lay JJ down in that spot. The big preflop raise didn't have to be AA or KK. It very well could have been QQ or AK. I just don't know HOW he laid that down there, except for knowing that he was going to get to find out whether it was a great move or a bad move when the guy said he would show. Just a filthy FILTHY lay down.
@tadashimori when you have a full house, you are not afraid of a straight, because full house is a better hand. so please stop making donkey comments before learning basic rules of poker
Sick laydown. Guy playing the cowboys though is a donk, terribly played kings. JJ lost the absolute minimum there though I would've lost a lot more, and won a lot more if I had the kings I think.
To be honest I'd have put him on A10 with that bet and I wouldn't just be calling, I would be coming straight over the top of him. I didn't see pf though which might change my mind lol.
Great laydown though, best I've seen I think. Annette laid down a house this year I think.
First off, I think he bet a little too much on the river. I'm assuming the blinds were 100-200? Also, if the KK guy had a queen, I think he would just call the river bet, there's not much value in raising a straight there with that HUUUGE bet on a paired board. Aside, well thought out and a nice laydown. Given the blinds are low and your stack has a ton of playability in the ME, JJ should at the worst just call here I think. KK guy's raise on river was massive
I couldn't have made that fold myself and I'm not sure it was right but I reckon that Romanello's delaying was deliberate to see what Geller would do. Geller got agitated because he was dying for Romanello to call and eventually said "OK, I'll show". Once he heard that Romanello appeared to fold with a fair bit of confidence that he was beat.
Simple laydown, at these stage of the tournament u know that soab has a better boat at least.... that why he said dont raise me.... easy laydown.... (u thumb down clickers need to suck ur mothers titties cuz im right)
Its a great laydown but like others already said, KK, AA or 1010 all beat JJ and the way the action went it wasn't that concealed Geller had a BIG hand.
Sometimes you can just tell when some people have big hand preflop, and he stuck to his instinct. It was also strange that he would bet that board on the flop, this usually indicated AA or KK if the action was heavy pre. But I mean... once the guy checks the turn I think I would have to call the river.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This was actually a bad play if you want to look at it mathematically. Sure he ended up saving money but someone would only have Aces or Kings about 1/24 hands each...and that's for a pocket pair. Basically, there was a 1/24 chance that Geller had Kings so in the long run Romanello would lose money by making this play.
I guess he thought his read was that solid that the 1/24 chance you are suggesting was actually not very accurate. It had to be since he basically folded the nuts. Pretty sick read and a sick play as well. I mean, sometimes i put people on the exact hand, but im too much of a calling station to lay down a hand like jacks full there.
Yeah good point, Romanello must've been playing very close attention to Geller's game...Geller must not be switching up his betting patterns enough or something. And yeah I'm the same way...I like to bet the numbers I rarely go all out on instincts like this guy. I guess that's one of the differences between me and the top pros though lol
@decave 1) It's tournament play, so you can't rely exclusively on "long run"-type thinking. It's still important, but you have to take into consideration the limitations tournament play puts on you. 2) The big pre-flop raise mentioned by the announcer would have clued you in on a big hand.
@decave decave... no kidding that it would normally be a bad play mathematically to lay down jacks full, but that's what makes it such an amazing lay down. What is the purpose of your statement?
@decave You're missing a fundamental aspect of Poker even when playing mathematically: villain's hand range. If you play Poker and cannot narrow your villain's range beyond any two cards and simply play the pot odds based on that, there's no way you'll ever win money. That said, even with the villain's range being very narrow (AQ+, e.g.), you'd be right that this would not be a mathematically profitable play without a very good read that narrows that range even further.
that laydown is part maniac, part genius. Give the guy some credit....he has put Geller on AA, KK or 10-10. Very accurate. All you people say he made a bad decision would have lost your stack on that hand.
KK player is retarded. He got the absolue minimum in value from the set over set situation by checking behind on the flop. You need to fire the flop with a set any time there are 2 or especially 3 broadway cards on the flop, otherwise, you're letting people draw to gutshots for free. And if the other guy has AK AJ or JJ, you win a very nice pot if you make all the action before the turn. He lost so much value by checking there and made the other guy suspicious of a big hand.
yes but its ok betting fr value but wat if the guy flopped a straight with Q10sp? then when the ten comes and the guy goes all in you have to muck your set! its not retarded its pot control thats how you get far in tourneys.
Pot control? That's usually reserved for 1 pair type hands which you don't want to commit too many chips in a given pot. Not for 2nd set where it's the virtual nuts. If you're not going to build a pot with 2nd set, how are you supposed to accumulate chips? This is day 1 of the main event. People get their money in bad all the time. He won 3k which is 15bbs in a set vs set when they both made over fulls on the river. I see no valid argument where he played this hand correctly.
Well i must admit i probably wouldnt have played the hand how he played it. I would have bet the flop and checked the turn, and all in on the river! The 10 on the turn was lucky it killed the action and saved romanello a whole bunch of chips. not saying he played it correctly but i can see why he checked the flop.
ummmm violincrazy are you dumb... that 10 on the river was lucky cuz it DIDNT kill the action, if that 10 didnt come on the river, the action would of been dead cuz one lone queen could beat him with a straight. That 10 on the river made him a boat so straights couldnt beat him anymore, plus only 3 exact hands would beat him. If you think the river killed the action then come play me anyday and donk your chips over to me plzzzz.
lol dont know why im trying to prove this point,your not reading the same comment im saying that you did but heres what you said
Well i must admit i probably wouldnt have played the hand how he played it. I would have bet the flop and checked the turn, and all in on the river! The 10 on the turn was lucky it killed the action and saved romanello a whole bunch of chips. not saying he played it correctly but i can see why he checked the flop
@cozzy3002 ...ur one of those "I told you so"...AFTER THE FACT kinda guys, aren't you? You irritate people, don't you? There's at least 5 people that can't stand you, huh?
@japee5 It's not a matter of knowing that his opponent had JJ. It's about betting to get value with his strong hand when there are a lot of cards on the turn that kill his action. Any Q T or spade that comes on the turn or river will make it more difficult to get chips from opponents when they have worse hands or are cards that outdraw his top set. And an AKJ flop is all the big cards! Someone should have a piece of that board to pay you off. 11 thumbs up
I know that Phil Helmuth is uncouth. But (admittedly not having watched all that much poker) I can't remember the guy using the F-word. What an impressive laydown after being so pot committed!
this is the real poker ya all the donkies plz learn sth from these kinda video why you guys even can't fold middle pair shits don't give me anymore bad beat
@adamo36532 That doesnt make any sense. Say you have 70% equity in the pot. The other guy calling you down with middle pair has 30%. You want him to call, cause on average you win 70% of the chips he puts into the pot. Of course, you are also going to lose about 30% of the time, this is part of the proposition. You want people to call when you have a significant equity advantage. Its like saying you dont want people to get it in with AK vs your AA preflop cause they suck out .
Well, you gotta think about his range, you cant put him on one exact hand. That would be Uri Geller like. Also, you can of course develop reads on the internet, you just cant develop any body language reads. There are still many other things you can read like timing, betsizing etc
cause he got a good read when players have a monster they slow play you into betting. The fact that they both slow played it made it easy to tell what he was doing
very impressive laydown. you have to be scared of that A K but you only have to be scared of them if u think the guy has pocket pair and hit their set higher than yours and there were two possibilities there. Amazing poker from the both of them

Best fold ever... I don't know how he normally plays though, he may usually fold the best hand...
PokerVertigo 2 years ago
the reason he folded was because the other guy was giving the speech lol the oh man im weak please dont raise me
and then he said i dont have a flush draw
and tried to look frustrated lol weak means strong but i think i would have called.................much to my dismay of course

check the flop? that was wierd. the preflop action suggests that romanello or matusow connected w/ that flop so Geller got no value there.
swingdocta 2 years ago
Its a great laydown but like others already said, KK, AA or 1010 all beat JJ and the way the action went it wasn't that concealed Geller had a BIG hand.

Unbelievable lay down. I am truly thankful I was never in this kind of situation in a poker hand. Major cooler if he called.

Sometimes you can just tell when some people have big hand preflop, and he stuck to his instinct. It was also strange that he would bet that board on the flop, this usually indicated AA or KK if the action was heavy pre. But I mean... once the guy checks the turn I think I would have to call the river.

This was actually a bad play if you want to look at it mathematically. Sure he ended up saving money but someone would only have Aces or Kings about 1/24 hands each...and that's for a pocket pair. Basically, there was a 1/24 chance that Geller had Kings so in the long run Romanello would lose money by making this play.
decave 2 years ago
I guess he thought his read was that solid that the 1/24 chance you are suggesting was actually not very accurate. It had to be since he basically folded the nuts. Pretty sick read and a sick play as well. I mean, sometimes i put people on the exact hand, but im too much of a calling station to lay down a hand like jacks full there.
lmlove80 2 years ago 12
Yeah good point, Romanello must've been playing very close attention to Geller's game...Geller must not be switching up his betting patterns enough or something. And yeah I'm the same way...I like to bet the numbers I rarely go all out on instincts like this guy. I guess that's one of the differences between me and the top pros though lol

anelks39 1 year ago
@decave 1) It's tournament play, so you can't rely exclusively on "long run"-type thinking. It's still important, but you have to take into consideration the limitations tournament play puts on you. 2) The big pre-flop raise mentioned by the announcer would have clued you in on a big hand.

@decave decave... no kidding that it would normally be a bad play mathematically to lay down jacks full, but that's what makes it such an amazing lay down. What is the purpose of your statement?
lottabirdies 1 year ago
@decave You're missing a fundamental aspect of Poker even when playing mathematically: villain's hand range. If you play Poker and cannot narrow your villain's range beyond any two cards and simply play the pot odds based on that, there's no way you'll ever win money. That said, even with the villain's range being very narrow (AQ+, e.g.), you'd be right that this would not be a mathematically profitable play without a very good read that narrows that range even further.

TIKOMIX 2 years ago 3
that laydown is part maniac, part genius. Give the guy some credit....he has put Geller on AA, KK or 10-10. Very accurate. All you people say he made a bad decision would have lost your stack on that hand.
camfay77 2 years ago 2
KK player is retarded. He got the absolue minimum in value from the set over set situation by checking behind on the flop. You need to fire the flop with a set any time there are 2 or especially 3 broadway cards on the flop, otherwise, you're letting people draw to gutshots for free. And if the other guy has AK AJ or JJ, you win a very nice pot if you make all the action before the turn. He lost so much value by checking there and made the other guy suspicious of a big hand.
cozzy3002 2 years ago 28
yes but its ok betting fr value but wat if the guy flopped a straight with Q10sp? then when the ten comes and the guy goes all in you have to muck your set! its not retarded its pot control thats how you get far in tourneys.
Violincrazy 2 years ago
Pot control? That's usually reserved for 1 pair type hands which you don't want to commit too many chips in a given pot. Not for 2nd set where it's the virtual nuts. If you're not going to build a pot with 2nd set, how are you supposed to accumulate chips? This is day 1 of the main event. People get their money in bad all the time. He won 3k which is 15bbs in a set vs set when they both made over fulls on the river. I see no valid argument where he played this hand correctly.
cozzy3002 2 years ago 2
Well i must admit i probably wouldnt have played the hand how he played it. I would have bet the flop and checked the turn, and all in on the river! The 10 on the turn was lucky it killed the action and saved romanello a whole bunch of chips. not saying he played it correctly but i can see why he checked the flop.
Violincrazy 2 years ago
ummmm violincrazy are you dumb... that 10 on the river was lucky cuz it DIDNT kill the action, if that 10 didnt come on the river, the action would of been dead cuz one lone queen could beat him with a straight. That 10 on the river made him a boat so straights couldnt beat him anymore, plus only 3 exact hands would beat him. If you think the river killed the action then come play me anyday and donk your chips over to me plzzzz.

japee5 1 year ago
@japee5 It's not a matter of knowing that his opponent had JJ. It's about betting to get value with his strong hand when there are a lot of cards on the turn that kill his action. Any Q T or spade that comes on the turn or river will make it more difficult to get chips from opponents when they have worse hands or are cards that outdraw his top set. And an AKJ flop is all the big cards! Someone should have a piece of that board to pay you off. 11 thumbs up

adamo36532 1 year ago
@adamo36532 That doesnt make any sense. Say you have 70% equity in the pot. The other guy calling you down with middle pair has 30%. You want him to call, cause on average you win 70% of the chips he puts into the pot. Of course, you are also going to lose about 30% of the time, this is part of the proposition. You want people to call when you have a significant equity advantage. Its like saying you dont want people to get it in with AK vs your AA preflop cause they suck out .

Horrible fold imo. Like you can put some-one on KK only, long-term your jacks are just good there. Why doesn't he just flatcall the river?

Perhaps because this ain't internet poker? Ever consider that he could've simply gotten a read on him?
BNMadman 2 years ago 3
Well, you gotta think about his range, you cant put him on one exact hand. That would be Uri Geller like. Also, you can of course develop reads on the internet, you just cant develop any body language reads. There are still many other things you can read like timing, betsizing etc

no. when you get a read on someone , KK and AA arent stamped on your fucking forehead.
this guy probably thought he still had trip jacks, and a straight beat him.
