Mike "The Mouth" Matusow Makes Huge Bluff

[existenceisnonsense]

lol called raise out of position with a7os?

[MrGreenNorth]

Another poker video online filled with comments and advice by all you 'experts' who are probably all $0.50 stake players on pstars at a max. Just watch the videos and learn - stop trying to give advice. Bet patterns in such videos are relative to the agressors bank role. Now shut up, and go play your multi-table tables and moan when you aces get cracked.

[plstrom]

with ace high is never a huge bluff.. lol it would be a huge buff with 8 2 for ex...

[WaspSnG]

@plstrom So the strength of your holding determines if you make a 'huge bluff' or not? What's the difference between A7o and 82o here? They are both holdings you're bluffing with, so the strength of your hand (A high or 8 high) isn't a factor here.

Also: Mike bets over two times the pot size, wich is unusually big and makes this a 'huge bluff', he's commiting 8K to win 3.5K.

This is in each and every way a 'huge bluff'.

[plstrom]

@WaspSnG  well what i meant was, it was probable he had good chance of taking this pot if the other player called, that is what i nean...

[WaspSnG]

@plstrom ?????

The board paired at the beginning and a possible flush completed on the river. Matusow makes a HUGE overbet to the pot, more than twice the pot size, yet you say he has a decent chance of taking this pot with A high if his opponent would call here?

It will honestly never happen that someone will make a K/A high call on this board after such a bet by Mike Matusow.

There's tons of crap coming out of your mouth son, I bet you don't play often yourself.

[plstrom]

@WaspSnG but yes it is a good bluff anyway

[N8QGI]

 Mike Matusow

[boylston1276]

If he knew he was going to do that he prolly should have done a better job to build the pot so as to not make it a huge over bet. But hey he is mike and im not.

[ahyde2010]

well done mike. he probably put his opponent on hitting trips on the flop, and when that 3rd diamond came on the river, he simply went with his instincts that she had a 10. he put the pressure on her. that would be a super tough call to make on her part

[MsFuckPenis]

@ahyde2010 there is no way he is making those bets if he puts her on a 10... I think i d like to play you

[1863blux]

I feel like when Matusow called the raise with a7 off he was going to play it like this on almost any board that came out. He just picks random times to go nuts. If you watched high stakes poker you'll know what i'm talking about. He sucks.

[secretbonus]

So assuming the preflop raise was break even, by calling on flop and turn his opponent risks 1400 to possibly win 9400 when he has a hand. call flop and turn 7 times, only call the river once and you profit. The problem is Mike isn't going to make that river move often, and many times he's going to have it It'd be interesting to see hands before this. I have to imagine his opponent was calling down with ace high a lot or sometimes nothing to bluff river before this happened.

[Anskyful]

lol such a bad play

[imtryingtowatchvids]

ÑÑOLOLOLOL

[equivocalx]

Anyone that thinks this is a bad play is too obsessed with math and pot odds. Anyone that keeps up with high stakes poker would realize this is a common play in certain scenarios. He had a read that his opponent would fold to a shove. He knows that if he had flopped the tens and bet it down and then shoved his opponent would not call, so why not do it? This also mixes up his all in range, so that he will get paid int he future when he does shove with nuts.

[devilspjh]

so hes risking 8k to win 3.5 k..... this play needs to work 75% of the time and if it does it yields 2.5k......idk this is just stupid to me

[secretbonus]

@devilspjh if he has been regularly betting down and his opponent has been calling with ace high, or a small pair on a paired board or something like that it's a great play. Especially if his opponent isn't the type to slow play and has raised before. The real question is what hands would his opponents call 2 bets on? Given those hands, what can his opponent cal with? Did Matusow previously double barrel bluff before only to get called down by Ace high? If bluffs break even it's a great result

[hawkfish88]

He won, he's a fucking genius.

[toreman81]

matusow is lolbad. they all playing cos matusow playing, how often do u see full 6max tables running on full tilt, would love to see how many on the waiting list, and not cos they get to play with matusow/ a red pro, cos they get to play with a fish!

[selfis0007]

bad play

[pingadomulatinha]

id love to play heads up against the mouth

[JimmyBluffet67]

@dfgh123gh Your mom looks scary but your dad still fucked her at least once

[jizzlerpop]

it was de only play he could win with because if he bet and was raised on de river he wud have to fold .. by betting der the other player wud hav to hav hit or have ace high to call aswell

[JimmyBluffet67]

risking 8K to win 3.5K??? what a fucking idiot. He needs to smash his head off the keyboard. She must not of had anything because it was such an obvious bluff

[ShallowBayBandit]

"herpa derp pot odds"

Here's what it comes down to: He either does something that he's pretty sure will win him the money, or does nothing and lose what he's put in there. You can sit here and say "oh, what a terrible bet, it just isn't right." Fact is, it WAS right because he won. Go choke on a dick and die you pretentious faggots.

[BraceletAccumulatrT2]

@JimmyBluffet67 Yeh but if he were to bet something like 2K then the opponent could easily raise him out of the pot on a bluff or call with a high pair, but seeing as he went all in when the 3rd diamond came its very hard to call with a lot of hands, the only time she could be safe in calling is if she had a flush herself. And yes it is obvious it was a bluff as it says so in the description, you might think differently if you were watching this live.

[ErsinYildiz]

can some 1 donate some 5dollars, so i can be a millionaire on ftp

[jimmy411vm]

average bluff imo

[philiveyaa]

@jimmy411vm could be bluffing with the best hand also...:P

[DarkoDrmanac16]

i think one of mike's friends played that pot while he took a long ass shit cause he's been eating 2 much taco bell, his a dumb $hit and can't bluff 4 $hit. Mike.M hands down the worst poker player ever. or should i say poker pro?l ol

[SPIDER]

your an idiot darko

[darcytalbot777]

risky but, worth it if he thinks she will fold

[ryts92]

the overbet was possibly a fake bluff to make it look like he was bluffing

[tehbronzeh]

This was a horribly risky play in my opinion. Notice that he risked 10k to win less than 2k. The way I see it, if he were playing against a solid player, they probably would have called him with jacks or 9s because of the way the hand went down. The all-in on the river into a pot of 3.5k with a flush or full-house just seems unlikely, most players would put in a decent sized value bet because the player has called the whole way and presumably has something they can call with.

[tehbronzeh]

It's just not a situation that shows long-term profit.

[Davebfd]

you need to know how the other people at the table play before you judge a short clip like this..

[aur3ll4]

@tehbronzeh your not at hes lvl he play the players not the cards or the math

[jparkfosho]

u'r not analyzing it right.if he only bet the pot, it woulda been 2to1for the girl to call which might have been the right call.. If he overbets the pot like that then it might look like he's trying to get paid for the flush that he just made because by betting out it might look like he was on a draw and he wasnt getting the right price to see the next had by betting out 2/3 of the pot. Even if he gets caught he can get paid off later on by overbetting the pot in similar situation with the nuts

[tehbronzeh]

If he overshoves the river, even with a flush, he's never getting called by anything but another flush or a boat. He won 1700 and risked 9700.If you don't think his bluff is getting called there one out of 5 times, you're analyzing it wrong. I'm an advocate of the overbet bluff, but this just doesn't seem like the right situation to turn any long-term profit because a good portion of the time you're going to get stacked when you do this with air.

[jparkfosho]

8000to win 4000 isn't too bad, plus he's building a table image which will pay him off with nuts later in the game

[tehbronzeh]

it's risking 9700 to win 1700, so yes that is bad. table image is only useful if you have money. if he's overbetting now and going to overbet later with the nuts and hope to stack someone who has a marginal hand, that's sort of reasonable if he thinks theres enough fish at the table that'll fall for that.

[jparkfosho]

dude once you put your money into the pot it's dead money. so it's risking 8000 to win 4000. If you calculate your odds considering the money you commited into your money into the pot u won't get the right odds in poker. you either commit your chips thinking it's dead money or don't commit any money in that street. and he obviously won't overbet the same person with nuts later because he just found out she won't call his overbet, if she did with marginal hand he will

[tehbronzeh]

He's still bluffing 8k to win 3.5k on the river, I'm saying overall in the hand he risked 9700 with the chance of adding 1700 to his stack. Don't get me wrong I understand the overbet river bluff, I do it myself on occasion. In this spot, though, I think a 2/3rd or pot bet does the same thing as an overbet with less risk because she's never calling a significant 3rd barrel with marginal hands, I don't think. Betting 2/3 or pot is same thing, not getting called unless by a boat or flush. Risky

[tehbronzeh]

Her most likely holdings once she calls flop/turn are flush draw, middle pair, ace/6, MAYBE a slow played 10 or sixes full, though that is unlikely. so I would think a good portion of the time she has a flush on the river and will call the all in, at least enough times to make the overbet river bluff -EV.

[mtavares92]

He doesnt give a sh1t... he is rich remenber

[jparkfosho]

now that he went all in in that pot. Sh ehas to risk 8000 to win 12000, making it 2 to 3 which makes it much less likely for her to call esp with marginal hand

[Ceeda7]

She had A 6 i guess...

[teabagger34]

probly still had the best hand

[tryss]

this is a really bad play I don't know why he's getting praised

[guaren9139]

classic Kamakazee Mike

[andos8888]

lmao

[IIhollyw00dII]

that is a pretty bad play but u never no he could have folded a hand that was beat to ace high, but either way when they call u all the way to the river where the only thing there are calling u with is a 10 or flush draw adn the flush draw comes.....lol not a smart play but i guess thats why u have money right mike?

[J3arc]

The way you type just tells me you're an idiot.

[baseplay23]

lets see... he risks $8,000 to win $3000... that's a great play.. All it takes is one call at the no limit table and you can shove all your bluffs up your ass... no lube. Not a good way to player poker. The guy probably folded AK/AJ...

[azzzeee]

He probably put the other guy on a pocket.. but ya that was a bad bluff he cloud bet out 3000 and get the same laydown

[coxtrox]

Thats why Matsow goes broke in cash games, he all in bluffs too much. Hes a great tournament player but bad cash game player

[Lampshades44]

Guys a stud

[JimmyBluffet67]

@Lampshades44 You clearly want to blow him while helmuth cheers him on to climax down your throat

[A3nbcd]

Because he showed his bluff we can safely assume that the main reason he made this crazy bluff is to get value from the other player tilting/steaming later in the session.

This is called "Implied Tilt Odds". (Little green book - phil gordon)

Good players don't show their bluffs just for the fun of it.

[8to1fav]

LOL Big Bluff? haha Ace high was probably the best hand...

[thezwerver]

its not a big bluff man...its only 10k he can lose

[0badboy0]

DIRTY! LOOOL

[MJOLNIRVII]

That was a massive overbet by Mike. He bet 7K into a 3K pot. Thats risking 7K to win 3K? Good investment? NOT. He played that hand bad anyway.

[jayceeswe]

lol, "ok" mr poker genius.

[JimmyBluffet67]

@jayceeswe He is right. It was a horrible bet and extremely obvious. I would have called, nutted on his face, then told him how bad he was in the chat box.

[amgonnabakeyobread]

He bet into her twice with ace high then risked just over double the pot to win it, Lol, idiocy, but he won it

[asong1588]

ur a dumbass, that was the only way he could win the pot, by going all in. and no way is the other dude calling 7k with a mid pair.

[MJOLNIRVII]

asong:

My other comment is 3 months old, but sure. You must think that was a great play by Mike? He had ace high and bet almost 8K into a 3.5K pot. Its obvious he wasn't gonna win without a bluff, but a massive overbet isn't the answer.

You think thats a great play? I hope you join my table sir.

[asong1588]

lol if u wanna play,im down anytime. .50/1 heads up?

[JimmyBluffet67]

@asong1588 BWAHAHAHAHAHA........OK there high roller.

[asong1588]

and that is poker. its no fun when all you do is play the cards, u need to play the player, and that is what mike just did.

[MJOLNIRVII]

"and that is poker. its no fun when all you do is play the cards, u need to play the player, and that is what mike just did."

So everytime I know I can't win without a bluff I better move all-in regardless of the pot size right? thats not poker, Thats YOUR POKER.

[asong1588]

i never said that. mike made a huge over bet on the river, and its very hard for the opponent to call without getting any odds. for mike, it is a great play. u just can't sit there and wait for aces all the time, u gotta make a move, and play the player. please let me know when u are down to play some .50/1 heads up, hold em or PLO

[Assassin546]

I totally agree with you MJOLNIRVll , what the fuck is mike doing here, this is a good example of one of his blow ups. Have you seen high stakes poker asong1588, when Mike bet all inn on the river against Phil laak, was that one of your great plays? LOL you would never see Daniel do this , and that`s probably the reason he is more suchsessfull in poker then Mike.

[insanodude]

Not in tournaments he isnt

[Assassin546]

Mike better then Daniel in tournaments? lol check your facts right. Who has the most WSOP bracelets, and has 2 WPT titles?. Daniel negreanu is one of the top 5 in tournament money winnings.

[Nuther10cents]

Yeah Mike is an amazing and stellar, very accomplished player (both tournament and cash,) but I don't know why you said his record in tournaments is better than Daniel's. In general Daniel has more cashes than almost anyone.

[JimmyBluffet67]

@Assassin546 Not only that, Assassin has jacked more loads to Daniel's pictrure.

[MJOLNIRVII]

That is a custom avatar and that is Mike because I watch him play on fulltilt sometimes.

Of course this is the real Mike XD anyone who doubts that is just a nit who thinks "celebrity" poker players don't come on the internet. Believe me, almost every famous poker player plays on the internet, some more then others, but they all play.

[Psychosoldier187]

that is true plus most of the pro's actually own full tilt poker

[Sycorexxx]

Why wouldnt it be te real Mike? Are you guys dumb.. First, he has his own avatar = unique. Second, if Full tilt would pay some dude to play on Mikes account online, while Mike is playing cash in Vegas.. LOL, Full Tilt Poker would be ruined!

[britneyspearsx]

i play with mike on FT all the time, its really him and he berates players all day long

[alex8711]

Actually that is him. He plays under that name on Full Tilt, under the name dill pickle on Ultimate Bet, and under the name mrpokejoke on Pokerstars. You can look it up if you want.

[JimmyBluffet67]

@alex8711 I just looked up alex8711.......he is really Phil Helmuth on Youtube....everyone bow to him

[unilingual]

of course if he were called by a set of tens, the other player's an idiot for calling. if he gets called with a flush, the other player's an idiot for chasing. mike's a good player. but he should respect his opponents a little more.

[culchy1971]

thats why hes broke and always moaning about running bad

[oxhandsomerobxo]

That was a nice bluff, looked like he was betting a flush draw on the flop and turn.

[chopace]

cool

[meti57b]

I wonder if this was the real Mike or the stand-in that Full Tilt pays to play on his name ?

:-D

[cadabraa]

Why wouldn't it be the real Mike? They've had ads, interviews and what more with this guy, not really something to doubt imho.

[mlythgoe1983]

no it will be mike hes always says that he spends daft amount of hours on the net

[devonizzle24]

r-e-t-a-r-d

[JimmyBluffet67]

@meti57b It wasn't Mike. I was playing for him that night. Hence the great play ;)

[mjdobson25]

chers man these are great

[420Kasper420]

lol, why the hell would you want observer chat?

BTW, nice vid...I have so much respect for matusow.

[NapoleonWill]

You could at least say please.

[vlcmediaplayerroger]

turn observer chat on when filming this.
