Todd Brunson makes Negreanu laydown the Nut Flush!

[carlsoto1747]

I love how everyone is a poker professional on youtube.

[GreenRipeAvocado]

Y couldn't todd have KsJ

[JohnJohnerson]

"I had 8 3 hahaha" DICK ha fuckin grimy brunson

[commandercool069]

well the only thing daniel could really beat was a bluff. If the 4 flush out there theres no way that todd would be betting anything less that an ace high flush (which daniel has covered) and hoping to get called. it would be weird for him to bet king high flush because it only beats a 10 of spades which probably couldnt call.

[holdem5180]

@commandercool069 then y call the turn if he was gonna play it like that

[eyeswideshut3001]

this has nothing to do with the hand so sorry about that -- but what is the opening song-- i recognise the chords from a scene in the fight club but its not in the soundtrack---would appreciate it-- p.s. excellent river bet

[ORoberge]

@eyeswideshut3001 The song is "Going out west", from Tom Waits

[coreycunninghamkarl]

Daniel had a bad feeling from the beginning!

[godiamone]

I like the way Daniel is clearly pissed about losing. He tries not to show it, but it bugs him, lol. It was the play, but even then, we all lose sometimes.

[godiamone]

Tom Waits!!!

[IMKINDASHY611]

lmaoo at daniel laughing it off and calling todd a sicko!!

[serratop]

Daniel has made so many bad calls on high stakes poker, with 100 000 to 500 000 dollars, and he does not call 21 000 with the nut flush, only to shine with his readings. I dont get it.

[Wazzamazizzi]

This might have worked a couple of years ago, but today 0% chance.

[shipshipit]

this might be the worst fold of all time.... wtf is wrong with daniel

[akernamed]

@shipshipit This is actually the kind of fold that seperates proffessional poker players from regular players such as yourself.

[TheGrannyWhore]

read this...this is veryimportant to know >>>> I WOULD HAVE CALLED THAT<<<<<< u know why? im a youtube professional

[TheGrannyWhore]

sometimes Daniel makes a bit to good laydowns lol

[oskarveliky]

Sounds like Tom Waits in the end...

[godiamone]

@oskarveliky lol, it is... The song is also in Fight Club.

[irishdan2007]

bitch of a fold, just call and if he has you beat fair enough, 21k is nothing to people like negreanu

[itsbigtobig]

its the kinda hand that only a pro would fold because they over think it

[Morihay]

Fucken awesome reading from Daniel!

But I would call anyway. Brunson might had any ace and some small to middle spade card. Ouch!

[siaosiaochin]

You can't bluff good players, you just have to play straight into them

[MrJonnyboy36]

Negreanu played it perfect checking to him... he is a station and he couldn't make the call lol...

[cageofsteel]

he only tought than he had straight flush not FH

[sexanoe]

that was a dumb fold no matter how you look at it. you dont fold a nut flush unless its something like 2 pairs on the board which would give a one card full house draw.

[bsd316]

Negreanu should bet river and fold to a raise.

[MortimerYoung]

Goin' Out West

[kinjiropwn]

negreanu is a douche

[nikodimous]

attention guys. don't try this on fish,beginners,donkey players. actually that is a laydown that only good players do. a bad laydown here,bad only good players would do that.

[furvs15]

58 of clubs really? didnt they just saw a 5 J 5 flop all black

[GOLDSILVERDUDE]

Daniel is a fuckin Guido scumbag. He is a slimy snake slithering in the grass. A fuckin Guido. FUCK THAT SUCKER. What a loser

[TheCleetz]

@GOLDSILVERDUDE you would make it racist even in a poker game, daniel is just a talented guy who cares what his culture or the way he dresses grow up

[kookoon]

A beginner is better than Negreanu.

[MisterBouncyBounce]

Jennifer Harman gets on my nerves.

[Koopatroopa01]

Nut flush just means the highest flush, not the absolute nuts.

[MrCid34]

and K/10 spade

[askytte]

sorry 5-9

[z32na]

Amateurs.. notice how there is no online or world class cash game players there.

I know, I know, I have no bracelets and I dont play high stakes... its just funny how the game has changed.

Full house?? Its at least a call, id think twice if daniel bet and todd reraised but fold in this situation?? they all smoking stuff

[tinywentz]

over thinking drives you nuts!

[marshallbrooks1]

J5, 55, and JJ were the only hands that couldve made daniel lose right? gonna be honest, i wouldve done what @edify88 said and raised alot hahaha. not saying im better than daniel just saying he's right. im a beginner im betting with an ace high flush lol

[askytte]

@marshallbrooks1 58 and 99 and qq could also have him beat

[marshallbrooks1]

@askytte im dumb. JJ 55 J5 95 99 QQ or Q5 could beat dan lol

[uviuar]

@marshallbrooks1 We dont factor in hands like 95 and J5 because it's highly unlikely anybody is going to play those, besides farha who is just being fancy. You dont assume someone could have any possible hand that beats yours just because there are technically better combinations out there.

[uviuar]

@marshallbrooks1 If you raise on a 4-flush board, what exactly did you think is going to call you? Lets pretend Todd has the King of spades. You really think it's going to be hard for him to figure out his flush is no good if he gets RAISED holding the 2nd nut flush against two other players?

What happens if you raise your flush and Todd goes allin? The board is paired. You think he's crazy enough to shove a complete bluff vs your obvious flush?

[razelnutsofficial]

LMAO

[IgnatzKolisch]

I've never played poker, and know virtually nothing about it, but I have a question. I thought "The Nuts" meant that your hand is such that you can look at the board and know you can't be beaten, no matter what anybody else has in their hand.

In this video, if T.Brunson could theoretically have had pocket 5s, which I assume would mean that a spade flush was not technically "The Nuts", since there was the possibility of a superior hand.

Am I incorrect about my understanding of this term?

[BubbaGump010]

@IgnatzKolisch 'the nuts' term i think means the best, eg. player 1: Ac Kc, Player 2: As 7s, Flop: Ks Qs Js, Turn: Ad, River:Kh. so in this scenario player 2 has 'the nut' flush but player 1 has 'the nuts' (with a fullhouse) hopefully i explained it so you understand.

[dmsanders2]

@BubbaGump010 Player 1 does not have the nuts. From his perspective the nuts are AsTs. From player 2's perspective, Ts9s is the nuts.

[deiselweasle]

@dmsanders2 9s is on the board you poker professional you

[uviuar]

@IgnatzKolisch Yes you are correct. The nuts on this board is actually quad fives, followed by various fullhouses and then a flush.

[number154]

@IgnatzKolisch "The nuts" is a hand that cannot possibly be beat given the board, but the "nut flush" is a flush that cannot be beat by another flush, so the nut flush is not the nuts if the board is paired or if a straight flush is possible, but it's still called the nut flush. Slightly confusing, I know.

[IgnatzKolisch]

@number154

I really appreciate the explanation! It does make sense after you laid it out for me, I just wasn't aware of the nuance between the two prior to your response. Now I'm guessing that I know why "absolute nuts" is used sometimes.

What's ET doing sitting next to Todd Brunson?

[edify88]

WARNING!! this kind of play from todd is genius! HOWEVER if u do that to beginner, they will reraise all in u in less than 1 second! so viewer discretion is advised!

[addy1231]

@edify88 Agreed, but come on, 21k , he has to call, just CALL. Lose 21k, but call! Daniel at his worst for me:(

[johnmrrs]

@edify88 not just a beginner i would think 90+ percent of poker players would raise with the ace high flush the board wasnt that scary like 2 pair

[daimen6]

not genius play - ... daniel just leveled himself into making a bad desicion. tod was not representing a fullhouse, the 4card flush draw is much more effective to get ur opponent to fold and therefore to bluff.

i bet tod is a tight player but i cant see how u could possibly check-fold the nut flush given the river action

[JeeRaph]

@edify88 This is pretty crazy. Negreanu is a super station but he did play it like he could have wanted him to get there with a boat the whole time. Pocket jacks could've certainly slowplayed.

[jiamonx2]

@edify88 yep, just like donks calling me w/suited broadways when I shove 50bigs

[TomiAk47]

@1:42 you can get a good read of the strength of his hand...

[AviatorSBR]

Negreanu is awful in cash games

[Randy1337]

@johnsmith7490

fuck you with your scripted spam shit you motherfucker

[leadhead81]

if Farha wasn't in the hand then Todd wouldn't have been able to play it like that....Farha took the attention away and it made Daniel think Todd was allowing Farha to hang himself!

[Nick410s]

Daniel has to be one of the best hand readers ever, but even he isn't 100%.

[hockeyislife67]

It doesnt make sense to daniel because todd played the hand like either a full house or the ace of spades, and since he has the ace of spades todd betting seems so strong.

This isnt a low level game where todd calls that 10k on the turn drawing to the king high flush.

Personally i think if that hand is played that exact same way 10 times todd probably has a full house 8/10 times in that spot.

[nybombs]

@hockeyislife67 lol, you are a nit. This is a cash game, not a tournament

[hockeyislife67]

@nybombs regardless of whether its a cash game or a tournament the play still means the same thing. Not paying people off doesnt make me a nit it just means that im aware of the possibility that sometimes other people make big hands too.

[nybombs]

@hockeyislife67 you don't play ring games do you? A king high, or even a queen high flush would have made a value bet on the river, especially when Daniel has checked to you. If daniel had bet AND THEN brunson had raised, then the fold is possible. This is a standard check/call, but if Daniel had bet out, it would have resulted in more expected value

[hockeyislife67]

@nybombs i disagree, i think your only getting called by better hands or check raised if you try a valuebet there with a king. Some people may do it, but todd definitely isnt the type to throw in thin value bets. Obviously in low level games u can value bet the king no problem cause people pay you off with like the 8 of spades but at this level anything other than the ace of spades or a full house is checking in todds spot.

[nybombs]

@hockeyislife67 lol.... what game do you play? I play in 100NL, and it's standard to value bet with K of spades... You would never win in cash games always thinking about there could be other possible nuts

[alingeorgian2]

Dude, if you have a hand likes Negreanu, you must take the risk, especially when the pot is affordable.

I really cannot understand sometimes Negreanu's style of playing, but stiil, he's one of the best, maybe that's why he's in the top.

[JohnRagoon]

See, not eating meat does you no good at all!!

[123jamie456cody]

negreanu's jus blasted

[perplexed76]

And somebody telling me about great poker read skill of negreanu...

bla-bla...

[2tame4fame]

bad poker from Brunson, thats why is difficult to play against weak players they destroy your compass...

[daejmon]

Daniel got afraid of him because he is a Brunson I guess, his father is known for playing crazy hands.

What I don't get though, is why Daniel didn't call when he obviously tried to set up a trap? I think Daniel has been taking too many bad beats lol.

[ParisHilton1982]

horrible laydown, in hsp negreanu either made dumb calls or dumb laydowns, nothing worked for him in this.

he really did not look good in the five seasons

[billj500]

I guess this makes up for folding qq to veldhuis in the big game. 

[ChadTomer]

silly how mike and jen guess that todd had 8-5 of clubs, when clearly the 5 of clubs was the first card showing on the board

[lg123xyz]

Sorry I like Daniel but he gave Todd way too much credit on that one and over analyzed that hand. Durr maybe but not Todd Brunson!

[Mathemagical55]

Farha: This could be a good poker lesson.

Matusow: Pay attention Sammy you're going to learn something here.

Classic!

[Tehui1974]

Some observations from this hand:

(1) why did Brunson call on the turn? It was such a risk to represent a FH because there are 2 players ahead of him that could easily have it.

(2) Why did Negreanu check on the river? He obviously had alarm bells ringing from Brunson's call on the turn, but it was such a weak play for a strong hand.

(3) why did Negreanu fold on the river? He always calls down on the river on TV cash games!

[noooooooooam]

bad fold..

[Alfa777]

That was really good bluff by Todd.

[BlaBlaidc]

just calling would be standard play now daniel didn't

ooh well the guy goes on hes feeling cant blame him at that level :)

todd was actually the donk lol

[CribNotes]

@BlaBlaidc Todd Brunson is no donk....these are the kinds of tricky plays these guys pull off against each other. When the turn hits, there's only 5k in the pot. Farha bets TEN THOUSAND - twice the pot !!! Negreanu calls cause he knows Sammy is usually full of crap or he could catch an ace and get paid by Sammy's 555. But when Todd also calls on the turn, that set off alarm bells in Negreanu's head, and rightly so. How could Todd over call a double pot bet unless he has a monster? Great play.

[CribNotes]

@CribNotes correction...not "catch an ace" but rather Negreanu can catch a spade and get paid by Sammy's 555.

[ManiX89]

sick hero fold

[reflex0r]

haha great poker.

"These guys are all smoking stuff!" lol
