[Catalanos9]

LOL at 1:45!! Indeed that is a fine girl.

[Foreverguga1]

And the award for the ugliest outfit ever seen on tv goes to.....

Daniel Negreanu

[Ex0rz]

1:37  When those legs came... i came too :O WOAH

[loh1110]

@Ex0rz I made a cumshot too

[bendustries]

Esfandiari chopping the pot with Farha is a perfect example of why you can't always play tight and wait for aces. Sometimes you can't win the money you want with a big hand. You always have to mix up your play and adjust to how others are playing in order to maximize your profits.

[LeighOak]

@bendustries No. This is a perfect example of playing tight as hell can still make you get paid off big if there are idiots at the table. antonio got it in being a 87% favourite to win 100k. sammy got lucky as hell to split it. I dont know what the hell kind of logic you have man, the poker gods didnt punish antonio for being tight if thats what you're getting at

[JiveDadson]

As predicted. 12:45

[JiveDadson]

The Magi's blow-up at the Mouth is actually a tell. It is hard to let a kibitzer keep yapping when you are in a big pot, but someone who wants an opponent to fold will almost always grit his teeth and bear it.

[LeighOak]

@JiveDadson very very true, good tip

[JiveDadson]

Best move of the session - 1:41.

[astashonok]

y does at 11:14 MATUSOW have 0%???

if 5 and 6 of hearts come - he'll have strait flash.

[madexLV]

@astashonok its probably because the real percentage is below 0.5% and computer program is rounding it up to 0%

[bibbbydybabbbydyboo]

Concerning the rejam or not debate in the Esfandiari v Sammy hand. If he always isoshoves his 88-QQ and AQs/AK but calls KK+ that's pretty transparent and bad. In a vacuum tho I think he gets more action by flatting without that kinda read on his tendencies as he pretty much folds out anything but like AKs/QQ+.

[bibbbydybabbbydyboo]

However I hope Alaei actually considered bluff-raising stronger than calling, as it's way better in that he never loses to A hi flush draws and doesn't have to worry about Daniel calling with deuces full which is definitely in his range at that point. Not saying a call with K hi would be terrible as Daniel would most likely fold a deuce a lot of the time with a bet and a call in front of him, just that raise >>>>>>>>>>> call >>>> fold. Instead Laak's whacko bluff gets through. *sigh*

[bibbbydybabbbydyboo]

Laak's weird bluff never gets through against capable hand readers. He can't have a J as he'd bet flop and/or turn with it and if he checks turn, he'll c/r even though it's bad. Also he never has deuces full as he won't overcall the turn with a bare deuce and there's no possible combo draw containing one. While Alaei deserves some credit for thinking about it, Daniel demonstrates his epic incompetence by snap-folding.

[zvolencan1]

LOL, I just love the ending by AJ and Gabe. :D:D

[jennaflav]

sammys a great player, but he runs better than usane bolt downhill.

[yharoonian]

WHY THE BITCHES ARE NOT IN THE KITCHEN??????????

[thecactuus]

antonio says to mike - we're only playing for a hundred fucking thousand, you know

[dankaren95]

No, you are a dumb ass after you are in deep shit for gambling addiction. That's when you realize that poker is not a sport but a game of guessing, you imbecile.

[max34be]

@dankaren95 if u r a big idiot and control ur ass when gambling doesnt mean others are as dumb as u

[dankaren95]

LOL. I don't think so, dude.

[ilovemove1]

the commentary in the end is great :DD

[dankaren95]

Why go all-in with AA's when you have 1 caller after you and one player before you already going all-in? Stupid play by the magician,

[fallootti]

@dankaren95 lol easy for you to say, you see the cards and you're not playing for a small fortune - you're playing for free 50$ at internet poker server against retards.

[dankaren95]

@fallootti No, I don't play online, let alone playing with retards. Poker is a guessing game, and I wouldn't do that if I was the Magician in that stituation simply because I only had one player to play against as the other was already all-in. Going heads-up with AA's is the best way to win. However, everyone's different and they play in accordance to their intuition, thus making poker not a sport, but gambling.

[MrNytSaatana]

@dankaren95 Magician is trying to represent medium pocket pairs with pushing all in but alaye is too smart for that and smells the trick...

[fallootti]

@dankaren95 well. Maybe he was worried if Alahi calls or goes all in, and he wanted to face single opponent with the aces. Or, if Alahi called, he wanted to get the maximum profit out of the situation, either way, just calling might had made Alahi want to call as well, and facing multiple opponents with aces is recipe for disaster.

[dankaren95]

@fallootti Look at the situation again. One guy already went all-in with a fraction of the Magician's stack. Therefore, he has to make the other guy call and not pushed him out like he did.

[axebodyspray71]

@dankaren95 Greater chance to get drawn out on against 3 players. Aces win about 80% of the time against 2 players and about 65% of the time against 3. In the short term he gets a smaller profit from that play, but in the longer term its the right play. Playing a pot against two big stacks with aces is a bad idea.

[SnlpErlsNaStY]

@dankaren95 Wow your a fucking dumb ass.

[AZ520ful]

lmao i feel like theres people starting to steam

then gets belted

matusow

[pits85s]

matusow is not one of the greatest,,thats the truth,,,is just an annoying kid

[pits85s]

matusow is not one of the greatest,,thats the truth

[VicenzoV]

I've never seen Esfandiari play poker, like, on the flop turn and river. With psychological warfare and shit. Is he just sitting there waiting for a big hand, hoping to get raised, act weak, re-raise, surprise his opponent who then has to muck?
