  • He looks like the T1000

  • Guy with aces couldn't play hand worse!

  • if riv came like 7o or a brick instead of a Q. i think babe would have called riv bet

  • poker at its best

  • You guys are all donkeys...

  • That was terribly played. How did they decide to make him a poker commentator?

  • ww w.pokerstrategy.co m/u GTF9S

  • Limp call? Check raise flop? Check the turn? That's just horrible.

  • I like the idea of slow playing aces UTG but whats with the check raising ACES ALERT. If he had REALLY slow played them he would of got more money letting the AK bet for value.

  • The turn check really made no sense whatsoever to me, what's even worse is the q comes on the river making it insanely easy for thaler to lay down ak, what does he beat here? kj or kt lol?

  • ugly check on the turn by aces

  • dumb check on the turn :) what was he thinking that after reraise gabe would bet the turn? :))))) he deserved to get the king on the river..

  • holy shit lol.. that play by the guy with the aces has to be the worst play in history. I hope he suffers in hell for eternity and has to suck satins sizzling dick!!

  • The girl in the end can count to potato

  • that gabe dude looks like he's on some wicked cocaine.

  • @fawx101

    A continuation bet means if you raised preflop you are going to bet the flop. Of course we know that Gabe hit the flop, but Robert had absolutely no chance of knowing if he really did.

  • Slowplaying AA is the best way to get nothing when you win, loose big when you get beaten.

  • BAD CHECK ON TURN, he already check raise the flop, should led out on the turn which gabe would have call, putting robert on Ks up with worse kicker

  • @fawx101

    1) a cbet is a cbet is a cbet

    2) He needed to bet for value, he knew that Gabe was checking behind. He shouldn't have check raise the flop though, nor should he check the turn.

    3) Indeed he does.

  • Seems pretty obvious. Ez to suspect a set. I hate these shows since they don't show the running pot total, but it looks like the overpair bet almost pot-size on the river. On such a dry board, there's no way TPTK can call this (I can think of no drawing hands that would have CR'd a flop like that) since I can't think of any hands that are bluffing here. The OOP overpair can only get a call if he had an extremely aggressive image, in which case he would've bet on the turn.

  • lol @ woman clapping her hands and getting wet for money..

  • He was thinking that he had 3 :D

  • Just lost with my quads to a higher quad! This site has to be fixed!!!

  • Well one of the only hands that robert could have that gabe could beat that robert was raising for value was kq and that got there on the river as well. Think robert plays 8s full or ks full this way as well still a pretty sick snap fold though.

  • Nice check

  • Robert Williamson is a dope

  • Comment removed

  • how does he fold?

  • great laydown. the queen on the river makes it a few more percentages easier to fold though, he now loses to KQ and QQ as well

  • @bonavinter

    he does not lose to kq

  • @mihaelll1

    yeah i dunno what i was thinking wtf

  • @mihaelll1

    why not? is he godlike?

    KKQQ8 beats KK33A

    doesnt? O_o

  • great laydown

  • There's not much point, it's all tournaments round where I live, plus I got Super/System 2 the other day. Teaches cash like a b*tch.

  • i dont like rw III but this hand he played so great and the other guy made a sick laydown, absolutely brilliant hand to watch

  • All the way through the hand the guy with AA played like he had KQ. Limp from early position, then call a raise, not many hands you would call a raise pre-flop without re-raising it, but KQ is one of them. Check the flop, then re-raise the bet, basically says 'I got a good hand' and top pair second kicker is pretty good as far as Hold'em hands go. The queen on the river is the card that made him fold in my opinion. Anything else and he is losing a large portion of chips this hand.

  • @retroherb LOL you don't play cash eh? If I had to give him credit for any hand there it is 88 or 33 or possibly, just maybe, AA on the flop with his check flat and that pretty much does not change throughout the hand. UTG limp flat followed by that play with KQ would be a player I would happily play against.

  • @Harlingtonjnr3 Maybe that's why I'm so useless at cash games, just can't get the hang of them.

  • @retroherb I give lessons

  • wowee, didn't even think about. very nice fold.

  • Now that is a true poker pro. Respect

  • I hate the flop check raise it's so poor. After just calling pre-flop surely you either bet out on the flop or just check call.

  • lol what a bad play by Robert. Raise on flop, check on turn.... OMG, so bad player.

  • @ssss122344 i agree that just like a give-away. He checked so quickly which meant he already had a plan orchestrated and when a guy has a plan, he usually feels comfortable with the hand.

  • i fold hands like that all the time and i suck at poker but i know usually a pair aint shit

  • @NebunLaCap stfu

  • Robert is so fucking bad. Worst check/raise on the flop ever.

  • @travz21 if he re popped preflop he would have won a lot more

  • is a good board to slow play aces =)

  • is a good board to slow play aces =)

  • not a hard fold

  • @galeng your mom is a hard fold.

  • nice

  • This fold is so SICK!

  • I dont undestand that laydown? the other guy limps in with ACES and then , u hit a top top. how do u put someone on AA if he limps preflop???

  • @shiraq07

    no you probably put him on KQ i suppose

  • instafold

  • HOW THE FK DID HE LAY THAT DOWN!

  • @wcwc89

    what can he beat? a KJ maybe... would he reaise KJ on river?? he cant beat AA, KK AK KQ 88... he only beats the bluff... not a hard lay down at all

  • @dlotomi you are one sick bastard. go and shoot yourself fucking idiot.

  • @DuellMeNoob show some class please

  • @dlotomi sick of you youtube pros. easy fold, i know, what else. what you all forgot is, that none of you is sitting at that table playing for real money beyond your income/year. thats why: shut up, enjoy the vid, or dont watch it.

  • @DuellMeNoob r u crazy? you have no idea who i am...

    show some class before judge please

  • @dlotomi i guess you are not sitting at that table? and you are a youtube pro, as i mentioned before.

  • @DuellMeNoob OMG :) btw my first comment makes sense... if you dont understand, it is not my fault you are not a well trained player

  • @dlotomi how i said before, you are a youtube past analysing pro poker champion. you can analyse every hand after it was played.

    u just forgot about these things: they play for more money than your per year income, you are not sitting at that tabel, u cant fold every hand because somebody is reraising you, and you think "oh, i only can beat a bluff". etc. etc. etc.

    why dont just shut up, and enjoy the good lay down? if this wasnt good, than i dont know

  • @dlotomi and did you watched the vid at all you idiot? AA limped, AK raised, AA called.

    so if that wasnt a good fold, shoot yourself in your phucking mouth, and go back in your mothers uterus gulag where you popped out.

  • @FullTiltPokerFans

    Sorry i didn't make myself clear, just read my reply.

    There is no way he would put him on KQ in that hand. Just because the Queen came you cant suddenly decide oh he so has KQ.

  • @FullTiltPokerFans

    He's not folding if he puts him on KQ

  • Comment removed

  • Pretty nice fold there, I do agree the aces were played poorly as far as extracting max value with paint on the board. He definitely should have smooth called the flop. I dont think the Gabe put him on aces I think he put him on KQ which would make sense because it would explain the limp, the check-raise(thinking his King might have been stronger) and the quick bet when the queen came on the river. Regardless well played by Thaler.

  • @TypeAKiller

    noone limps with KQ. williamson definitely would either raise or just fold it preflop. limping usually means a low pocket pair or suited connectors, but pros even raise those. so limping is very suspicious at this level. and, not many people are check raising KQ either. Unless Thaler plays very aggressive, he would not raise Williamson preflop with KJ or less.

  • @Bell0my Are you sure about that? Pros limp all the time when the structure is deep like cash game. There are those that never do open limp eg chris ferguson. but ivey, negreanu, hansen, harrington etc etc etc open limp all the time. Great fold here by the way.

  • @SurvivingTheHorizon

    sure they do, but with speculative hands, like J7 suited. not with KQ offsuit. Speculative hands are good for seeing cheap flops and hitting draws multiway, KQ is normally good for hitting top pair type of hands, which don't want more than 1 other player in the pot.

  • I don't like the check raise on the flop... there wasn't much to worry about... other than that... good fold

  • what a horrible Raise on the flop, it was a perfect flop for AA to be paid ....just pause and think and flat call that bet.

  • @Noxchiborz146

    well,by calling of the flop,i dont think he get lot of action until the shodown, cause the AK will check the turn, the AK player is putting his opponent in a medium pair,so there is no chance a medium pair player call a strong bet on the turn unless he make set,so he will probably check the turn or maybe small bet the turn,the AA player has to arrive to the river for get action with 2 scary more cards,so no chance the AK player call his raise 2 street more far.

  • I don't think Robert's preflop play was that terrible. Alot of the time UTG if you have been playing tight people know this and you won't get any action if you raise.

    I don't like the check raise though. You are essentially only getting called by AK and sets. IF he bet out the flop Gabe would think he was in a much stronger position. For all he knows Robert could have limp called with KJs, KQs.

  • @mickymacky ...I'd hope the ppl u know who fold on the flop here are balancing their range by calling a large amount too. He has position and has enough sense to avoid the check raise on the turn.

    For the record, horrible play with the aces.

  • @Woodeh06 You should bet all your life savings on black

  • lol how horrible can you play your aces omg.

  • AK is a hand people go broke with. you have to learn when to fold it if you're going to play it.

  • great fold..slow playing aces is so sick

  • @akdons3 slow playing aces usually gets you troubles :P

  • The way the hand went there were really no cards that Gabe could beat that Williamson would bet, except for a bluff.

  • Ya, williamson could easily be on 88 or QQ besides the AA. I don't know what else he could have the way it was played except for a complete bluff.

  • Yeah, KQ was probably the only hand that AA could have beat (according to the action) before the river. And the Q pretty much sealed the deal, i think. But I would have lost another 6k if I was there.

  • Robert Williamson is a fuckin donk. Played that hand so badly, that's why his opponent could lay it down. Cant stand the idiot

  • @Detective313 I was gona say the same.The idiot didnt got paid with two aces !

  • @Detective313 Huge donkey he played that hand so bad

  • @Detective313 I saw nothing donkey about how he played that hand

  • @Detective313 This is not an easy laydown no matter how badly he played it. He instafolded too. so sick

  • i think yhe check on the turn was strenght i think gabe picked up on tat 2

  • i was gonna say that , lol ,

  • the chick at the end of the video is so fu ckable..

  • I would like to be so good to lay down the same hand so easily... ... One day...

  • Not world class. Solid laydown that a lot of pros would make I'd hope.  By the way that guy looks like the T-1000

  • I was a good laydown-but not uncommon in deep stack play

  • what a monkeyboy..

  • Apparently you can raise to $2,800 when the original bet was $1,700 on low budget poker shows.

  • Im guesssing the announcer fucked up and meant to say 2800 more, not to go.

  • could easily be up against 88...or even a 3 from someone that was posturing pre-flop. it was a damn good fold, but not phenomenal. just smart.

  • Limp-calling is posturing?

  • if you make call the raise with an A3 or K3, that's a little bit of posturing, sure...

  • Good pot control from Gabe.

  • world class laydown

  • you know even if gabe doesnt put him on aces or set the river q means he could lose if by some chance he thiinks robert had KQ. gabe must respect roberts play. rob is top pro.

  • Great laydown with the board he definitly put him on set or aces right on the flop

  • Robert's wife = smokin'.

  • They say that Texas Hold'em isn't a game of Gamble. It's maths.

  • ''they say'' everyone knows its skill

  • it was an "OK laydown"...it was just exceptional..with that board??beautiful..

  • You're right man,some idiots who play freerols online,watch those videos and forget who they are,you need a lot of skill to laydawn a hand like that,if the guy with AAs push all in it can put him on a hand,but he just raise and bet,If I was in his spot I think my stack where in danger!

  • I love Samurai and Skidd417, they would have folded just as quick lol idiots, although ithe river bet looks strong what makes it great is 95% of players would call. And 9/10 of players would have made the pot bigger and lost more.

  • That was a fantastic laydown.

    No straights, rainbow.

    Top pair top kicker.

    Must of put him on a set.

  • I think he put him on KQ, and thought the queen on the river got him!

  • pocket 8s, A3, KQ, QQ, AA all possible hands that is very likely that he has

  • Wtf! You bascially named every hand that would beat him! Such a stupid comment!!

  • thats my point ...there are many hands that it`s very possible he has

  • A3? LOLOLOLOL

  • was an ok lay down , he could have put him on KQ at the end and folded, he was UTG so u could put him in AA i guess (knowing he was going hu2tp)

  • it was an ok laydown but he just had top pair top kicker. He could of put him on a wired pair of 8s or even 3s at that point though, especially after he checked the turn when the other 3 came

  • You must not be a player if you think we need less idiots.

  • lol

  • learn to spell idiot

  • standard he would be limpcalling checkrasing KQ that spot?

    no?

    Then Ak no good.

    Draws?

    No?

    Ak no good.

  • what a sick instafold!

  • standard

  • thought he had 8s lol gr8t laydown

  • fishy when he check raised then checked again. almost wanted another check raise?

  • i sharted while watching this

  • Good Laydown, but I think Thaler put him on a set-full house rather than AA;)

  • completely agree with you.

  • gabe is good player, played with him in vegas a few times.

  • and now u play with urself

  • great laydown or what. phil wen hav played n den cryed over that

  • Was that the Obama Girl  at the end?

  • gabe kinda looks like axl rose

  • i dont think i'd be brave enough to show the table what i folded

  • WTF lol. He limp calls his aces. Check raises the flop. Then checks the turn, and then bets perhaps the only river card that could've really screwed him (if Thaler had KQ).

    Robert played this hand as bad as possible on every street and won as little as possible. If he did the opposite of what he did, on every street, he would've won far more.

    If he raises preflop, Thaler either reraises or calls. Then with that flop, he makes a strong raise, and Thaler either reraises or calls.

  • If Thaler had KQ he would still lose to aces up...two 3:s on the board u know!

  • oops!

  • y did he play it bad. if everyone plays the same it wudnt b poker. pokers based around unpredictability n thats y u win hands. theres no bad way to play poker n thats wat a lot of people forget.

  • yea i like how they both played it. knowing i would be heads up to the flop i might opt to just call and disguise my hand. then throw him off with a check on the turn when it isn't a scare card. then the perfect river to bet again cuz you would think QK or AK would call you... he made an awesome read unfortunate for robert. again I liked how they both played it, personally.

  • Assuming that's Williamson's wife...it's cute that she's happy and applauding when her husband basically got owned and made the near minimum with those Aces.

  • Hey, Gabe was our catcher in High School. What a small world!

  • Lol donkomments. Who the hell is this guy? "That would have been a good spot for a reraise" ? He's trapping for christ's sake, he doesn't want to show the strength of his hand preflop, how hard is this to comprehend...

  • I agree with you for the most part. But on the other hand, if Thaler did have a hand he wanted to get all his money in with, a preflop reraise would have gotten all the money in there with Williamson a prohibitive favorite.

  • check then reraise utg absolutely screams pocket aces or kings. There's no way Gabe was calling all-in.

  • You moron he isn't stacking off preflop with AK, especially if Robert limp raises. This isn't online 6max.

  • wow osef u have no clue. ur thinking is very amatuerish. not that mine is world class either but with how deep they were why would u check call to trap with aces preflop? makes no sense at all. players are goin to see a flop to see if they hit it and hopefully get a weak player (which sounds like you) to stack off with just one pair or overpair. anytime u play from utg and whether u raise, limpcall or limpraise people will have AA or KK cross their minds so why not make them pay to see the flop

  • The whole point of limping with aces is to trap people. If it makes no sense to check-call, then it makes no sense to limp, period. When you limp with aces, you must keep in mind there's a possibility you're gonna see a 6/7-handed flop, and in that case you're probably gonna have to lay them down. Doesn't take a pro to realize all that...

  • ose again, makes no sense to limp to limp period. how bout raise to get them to put more in preflop seems like a pretty obvious reason. doesnt take a pro to realize that. never heard a good cash game player think its a good idea to limp call with aces preflop in deep stack sides games. the whole part that makes it a bad play is its deep stacked, if normal stacked then ok, i guess do it if u want

  • There's no guarantee Gabe calls the reraise preflop. I wouldn't (depends who I'm playing, a RandyJensen-like player obv I call, but I don't think Williamson does these kind of moves a lot).

    The deep stack changes nothing. It's about being able to lay down the aces when it gets ugly, or not. If you can't, you better reraise (actually you better simply raise).

    On a sidenote, since you're good enough to consider Williamson as bad, I probably know your name. What's your name?...

  • 1. theres no guarantee with anything.

    2. i never said williamson was bad moron

    3. the fact u just said that stack sizes mean nothing means im done with this argument. this obv shows how lil clue u have. this will be like argueing with a 6 year old saying santa claus is real, theres just no point

  • You said it was a really dumb play to limp call with aces, and that I must be a weak player to think it's not. Williamson limp called with aces. But Williamson didn't make any mistake and isn't a weak player. Ok, I see where you're going with this: nowhere. Moron.

    I agree with you, you should quit.

  • Oh and by the way :

    "i never said williamson was bad moron"

    Yes you did :

    "never heard a good cash game player think its a good idea to limp call with aces preflop in deep stack sides games."

    Right there.

  • haha i couldnt resist with u kid. just because someone makes ONE bad play does not make them a bad player. thats what i mean, i see i have to explain every little detail since ur not the smartest person around. funny were talking about this as i just heard an interview with gabe thaler on pokerroad's cash plays about this exact hand which is why im even talking to you. i think he said its a god awful play to limp call with aces with those stacks just as i said. thank you come again....loser

  • see you later pr0.

  • Clb, I gotta agree, the only time I ever limped with AA, I was playing an extremely tight player, preflop. and they wouldn't call any raise then. They'd only raise pre on their terms, and on flop, be a calling station. Limping AA busted them. But almost always raise aces to thin out the players preflop.

  • It's not a bad idea to limp w/ AA IF you're in early position and IF you're very sure someone will raise it before it gets around to the blinds. Then you can re-raise and isolate against the original raiser. But if you think there's a good chance no one will raise then it's a horrible play.

  • ugh, meant to put my comment under tw19771 's...

  • Best fold ever wow!!!!!!!

  • why does badchilliwing get negative 2 for his comment? the devilfish made what is arguably the best laydown in history with his fold of quads vs straight flush. whats more impressive is it was in omaha where the player had to have the 2 cards to make a straight flush
