one of the worst calls I've ever seen. He should've checked behind on the river. Patrik cannot call with less than QJ, and won't usually float and check raise the river as a bluff.
obviously wouldnt have QQ because theres no way hes betting on the flop with top set. if he had QQ he would do want antonius dud to let him catch up and get more value for his hand
and he probably doesnt have KK as well. because with no draws on the board you dont want someone folding to you. so he wouldnt have KK.
basically - he only beats a bluff or a pair of queens with bad kicker
the call of 8k on the flop can be a sik tell..antonius had a stack of 1k chips (about 12k), counted out 7, set the rest aside and got 2 500 chips..to me that's a tell of strength. Not necessarily a set but a good hand nonetheless. And yeah very very unnecessary thin value bet on the end by Townsend..what is he trying to get called by a q10?? The pot was allready pretty big..a check would of been a much better play.
That's how you get the maximal payoff by a marginal hand out of position. Brilliantly played by Antonius.
Townsend definitely should've checked behind on the river. What hands was he expecting to get any more value from? I don't like his last call, either. He couldn't beat anything but a bluff. And that would've been one of the sickest bluffs I've ever seen.
Sick thin valuebets on the river...although was Townsend bluffing or valuebetting?
I would have been sick if I were Antonius and got 3bet shoved there on the river. So I guess the big bet by him was pretty good given he has zero chance to be bluffed and can be called by worse as demonstrated...
What kinda dumb call was that? I can see when he can at least think about calling with AQ or AK, but a qj? Did he put him on a 34? Horrible horrible call
@shpotik You have no idea of the dynamic between the two players or their past history. If hes calling there its for a damn good reason back by a damn good read that the spot was potentally profitable.
Dudes not a fish. Townsends river bet is designed to make it look like hes trying to push Antonius out of the pot with an ace high type hand. He's putting antonius on a 5, 6 or middle pocket pair. When Antonius check raises the river that big it looks like he either made the straight or missed a gut shot/ flush draw type hand or is turning a 5 or 6 into a bluff. Antonius just played the hand really well.

Maybe Townsend called cuz Antonius check raise bluffs rivers like this onlline. They do play alot more online than they do live, so its possible for Townsend to analyze this hand by the way Antonius plays online
I think he was putting Patrick on a pair between 9's and Jacks. A bet of 50 % of the pot would have made patrick called rather than betting 2/3 of the pot if Patrick had a pocket pair plus saving him some money in case Patrick re-raise. Patrick's play was excelent no doubt about it. This play is very similar when phil hellmuth played a hand against dwan and tom had a full house and phill had the nut flush. Phil ended up folding the hand tho.
pisses me off when the commentators say hes not getting called - its a basic in life in anything not just poker - if you dont ask, you dont get.... if he doesnt raise, he doesnt get called
Antonius glanced quickly at his own stack when Townsend bet on the river. Would've made me fold since it's usually a sign of strenght... But then again pro's can use that against you...
absolute shittest play i've ever seen from brian townsend. typical internet player firing 3 times with second pair... and then paying him off, pretty shocking
the commentator at the end is annoying going "i dont think i would have raised as i dont think it would have got caled" - what a stupid thing to say.. how do you know until you do it?
every1 says antonios was representing pockets 8s turning it into a blufff to get him off a queen. But my question is.. is antonios capable of that? i mean does he ever play like that?
@allebacher04 he called because he was getting better than 2 to 1 and thought that antonius would be turning 67,75s, 77-TT into a bluff on the river more than 30% of the time rather than him having a set of 5s or 6s more than 70% of the time.
@allebacher04 What you all should check is that patrick took the time to raise at the river so It would look like he has the best hand, that make townsend think that he may be bluffing plus the pot odds where good to call this hand.
It is a brilliant play by Patrick because he knows he is winning , and he wants to get called
@felipematt24 are u retarded?110k more on the river n thts good odds?townsend bet 40 k...but anyway townsend played his hand waaaay too fast an was hustled by a beast..townsend had only a bluff catcher....seriously novice play by him.
@Randy1337: Look I know he played that hand badly, but Brian Townsend is a weapon, he has been crushing High Stakes cash games on Full Tilt for years. He also runs a successful online tutorial site..... Having said that P. Antoninus was the highest earning online player last year with yearly earnings of about $9million USD
i dont know what to make of this hand. I know people sayu patrick is very agressive. but, from what ive seen, if anything, he plays more genuine hands and actually seems a lot tighter than ivey and dwan and co etc.. I know its easy to say and it is probably an advanced play... but.. i dunno... i just think is patrick bluffing here? considering hes bet every street
PA raise is risky as well however i believe it is the correct play as the are only really two hand in Brians range that have him beat KK QQ. Brian has KQ and AK here alot as well as QJ some of the time also a set of five rarely. PA raise is representing a hand such as K 10 of hearts as he may float a dry board out of position some of the time. Or he could have a hand like 65 of hearts feel it now need to bluff to win. Also he figure Brian does not give him credit for a set as he did not CRflop
Why would he CR flop? Antonius has the deck crushed after the flop...theres not even a flush draw out there to get value from. Cr-flop is too strong, and most hands fold there. Check-raising turn gives much more value, as townsend is betting a lot of turns. A set cannot be eliminated from PA's range just because he didn't CR flop.
Townsends bets here are fairly standard other than maybe the river.
Although, I will admit, these stakes are ridiculously high. I'm not sure how pros like this would react to flop check-raises, as I'm sure they face them a higher percentage of time than is seen at lower stakes (and thus, face cr-bluffs on the flop a lot as well). So..my logic could be wrong lol.
I dont like the value bet but this must have been his thinking. PA range does include 77- 1010 a worst queen and 67 of hearts alot of the time he usual style would be to raise either the flop or the river with a set although with such a dry board I can see why he chose to slow play at Brian often has air. So on the river his had is good alot of the time however not much of PA will pay off a river bet considering Brian bet all three streets and was the pre flop raiser so he is rarely bluffing
I don't understand the bet and the call by Townsend on the river.... The only hand he could be scared of was the straight... Antonious played the hand perfectly no doubt about it... but if you are getting called twice and there is a straight draw... I don't see the point of betting on the river... you won't make any profit if the guy didn't hit the draw... Assuming antonious hit a Q, I don't see him calling the turn with a kicker worse than a jack..
You really cant comment on someone elses play in a HU pot when you have no idea what kind of history and dynamic exists between theses 2 players from the millions of hands theyve played online. Its very conceivable patrik callsed a 3 bet with 77 or 88 and having got to the R , CR bluffs with blockets to fold out one pair hands brian is value betting
@wiseguy1989xx Well considering that PA won't check raise with one pair for value, QJ is just as good as AA in this spot. On the other hand I completely agree that going for 3 streets of value here is way too thin and checking back the turn is extremely standard.
terrible call. Not even top pair top kicker on the flop and not the the top pair by the river. He should have known he was beat when he was reraised on the river. Terrible call
yes @ travz21 calling with QJ is essentially the same as calling with AA.
In other words, it's a terrible call on the river, and he should definitely check behind here with a pair or Queens, jack kicker. He doesn't beat much and is not getting much value out of hands that he beats, such as Q10, 89, a6/a5, 77-1010 (which is so unlikely to call on the turn), a10 is never check calling/raising the river nor getting there

Its not normally good to slowplay a hand like that but in this particular situation it was perfect. shocked townsend called. must have put him on a complete bluff

You know they only show the most interesting hands that are worthy of television. Majority of the hands they played are not shown. So, it's pretty easy to find some good hands if these guys are sitting there for hours playing....
I think Townsend put patrik on 74 or something like that...would kind of make sense and thought he was bluffing the river. Easy for us to all call it a bad play but he knows Antonius can get very creative!!
in normal sense i thk tht would b a bad bet and call on river...but i guess its where patrik's image got paid off...he plays really wild and i do agree with emilherman, checking-calling w a set and huge check raise on the river is a weird play...but overall stupid play by townsend...makes more sense if he has a hand like KQ or AQ etc...
First of all, few players are check-calling the turn with a set so he rarely has that. Secondly, Townsend, is a player that valuebet thin, probably three-barrelling a lot too, so it is possible that Antonius could have bluff-raised the river. The river-bet looked questionable and the call stupid but I guess it wasn't so clearcut after all.
what a horrible bet on the river after the check by patrik ... with QJ thats supposed to go check check...the open ended straight draw hit.. u cxant beat ANYTHING virtually.. bad bet on the river and even worse after the raise
i know it paid off for antonious but that was 1.5 times the pot... ? A re-raise was appropriate considering townsend was representing two pair but min would be better, sick call.
This has got to be the worst call in the history of televised poker. Anyone puts Patrik on 78 or a K or a set no problem. Townsend had a little breakdown there cause of the cameras I think. The thinking got to him, and called almost robotically like thought he had to put on a show for TV. That was AWFUL, Worst call ever. Townsend is a fish
Unless PA spaz bluffs AQ or Kx for some unknown reason, which is happening 0% of the time, calling the river check/raise with QJ here is exactly the same as calling with AA.
I'm not saying the whole hand is fine, but the river call by Townsend is far from what you're making it out to be. Obviously there's history between them.
If I was in Townsend's position, there are barely any hands you beat with a check-raise river like that. At most a bluff - but you have to be a real noobie to think your opponent will bluff on the river by check calling all the way... bad play there..
just an opinion.
Nevertheless great play by Pat... especially the slight overbet on the river
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not as bad a call by Townsend as it looks. Calling the river with QJ is basically the same as calling with AA in this spot. Townsend knows that PA knows that Townsend won't have 2 pair or better that often on this board, which is why a check/raise bluff could seem very likely with a hand like 74s, 6h7h, etc.
If Townsend was playing this hand this way against a nl4 fish, then I would question his judgement. This hand, however, is pretty interesting when you look at it from a logical angle.
What is that commentator talking about? Cant imagine antonius reraising the river?? He has a set. Its 100-1 of losing set over set. Almost any pro will raise there. If you're beat your gonna pay off your opponent every time. Its just a cooler and you move on.
yeah ofc, like he is 17th level thinking here.LOL!Don`t talk like poker is rocket science.Antonius is never bluffing here.He 3 barreled and he raised the river.Donkcall.
@Randy1337 BT's played with him so much and has his frequencies pegged, unlike you. PA knows BT is barreling with a large percentage of his hands on the turn, and Bt knows Pa knows this. with that said, PA's perceived range is pretty weak on the river which is obviously why he value bet qj in the first place. PA knows that he's value betting thin a huge portion of the time and could easily turn a hand like A6ss or 74ss into a bluff, which is why BT called.
one of the worst calls I've ever seen. He should've checked behind on the river. Patrik cannot call with less than QJ, and won't usually float and check raise the river as a bluff.

PA range does include 77- 1010 a worst queen and 67 of hearts alot of the time he usual style would be to raise either the flop or the river with a set although with such a dry board I can see why he chose to slow play at Brian often has air. So on the river his had is good alot of the time however not much of PA will pay off a river bet considering Brian bet all three streets and was the pre flop raiser so he is rarely bluffing

I don't understand the bet and the call by Townsend on the river.... The only hand he could be scared of was the straight... Antonious played the hand perfectly no doubt about it... but if you are getting called twice and there is a straight draw... I don't see the point of betting on the river... you won't make any profit if the guy didn't hit the draw... Assuming antonious hit a Q, I don't see him calling the turn with a kicker worse than a jack..

The only hand Brian is worried about is a straight...he's not thinking about a set or two pair. He calls becuz
1. PA check-calls flop , check-calls turn, check-raises river. This is a really weird play with a set or two pair...makes no sense.
2. if PA had made the open ended straight, then it is more likely he will bet the river instead of checking.
So basically, PA knew Brian had marginal hand, read him perfectly and slow-played the hand beautifully, which confused Brian and got him to call.

You really cant comment on someone elses play in a HU pot when you have no idea what kind of history and dynamic exists between theses 2 players from the millions of hands theyve played online. Its very conceivable patrik callsed a 3 bet with 77 or 88 and having got to the R , CR bluffs with blockets to fold out one pair hands brian is value betting

checking the river after being check/called twice was too hard for Townsend I guess
ezox00 1 year ago
@wiseguy1989xx Well considering that PA won't check raise with one pair for value, QJ is just as good as AA in this spot. On the other hand I completely agree that going for 3 streets of value here is way too thin and checking back the turn is extremely standard.

terrible call. Not even top pair top kicker on the flop and not the the top pair by the river. He should have known he was beat when he was reraised on the river. Terrible call

yes @ travz21 calling with QJ is essentially the same as calling with AA.
In other words, it's a terrible call on the river, and he should definitely check behind here with a pair or Queens, jack kicker. He doesn't beat much and is not getting much value out of hands that he beats, such as Q10, 89, a6/a5, 77-1010 (which is so unlikely to call on the turn), a10 is never check calling/raising the river nor getting there

I think Townsend put patrik on 74 or something like that...would kind of make sense and thought he was bluffing the river. Easy for us to all call it a bad play but he knows Antonius can get very creative!!

in normal sense i thk tht would b a bad bet and call on river...but i guess its where patrik's image got paid off...he plays really wild and i do agree with emilherman, checking-calling w a set and huge check raise on the river is a weird play...but overall stupid play by townsend...makes more sense if he has a hand like KQ or AQ etc...
garrickho 1 year ago
First of all, few players are check-calling the turn with a set so he rarely has that. Secondly, Townsend, is a player that valuebet thin, probably three-barrelling a lot too, so it is possible that Antonius could have bluff-raised the river. The river-bet looked questionable and the call stupid but I guess it wasn't so clearcut after all.

This has got to be the worst call in the history of televised poker. Anyone puts Patrik on 78 or a K or a set no problem. Townsend had a little breakdown there cause of the cameras I think. The thinking got to him, and called almost robotically like thought he had to put on a show for TV. That was AWFUL, Worst call ever. Townsend is a fish

vitormeza 2 years ago 2
Unless PA spaz bluffs AQ or Kx for some unknown reason, which is happening 0% of the time, calling the river check/raise with QJ here is exactly the same as calling with AA.
I'm not saying the whole hand is fine, but the river call by Townsend is far from what you're making it out to be. Obviously there's history between them.

BT is actually a great player, but indeed PA played the hand very well.
It turned into a very scary board, and PA goes call pre, check call flop, check call turn and check river.
This is a line that will hardly ever be chosen with a set or any other made hand.
So PA either made his straight, missed a draw, or just stone called bluff, and his line looks a lot like a bluff.
That's the brilliance of PA, puts his opponent on a hand range and then takes the perfect line, very impressive.
henkbress 2 years ago
If I was in Townsend's position, there are barely any hands you beat with a check-raise river like that. At most a bluff - but you have to be a real noobie to think your opponent will bluff on the river by check calling all the way... bad play there..
just an opinion.
Nevertheless great play by Pat... especially the slight overbet on the river
lostboyz345 2 years ago 2
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Not as bad a call by Townsend as it looks. Calling the river with QJ is basically the same as calling with AA in this spot. Townsend knows that PA knows that Townsend won't have 2 pair or better that often on this board, which is why a check/raise bluff could seem very likely with a hand like 74s, 6h7h, etc.
If Townsend was playing this hand this way against a nl4 fish, then I would question his judgement. This hand, however, is pretty interesting when you look at it from a logical angle.

What is that commentator talking about? Cant imagine antonius reraising the river?? He has a set. Its 100-1 of losing set over set. Almost any pro will raise there. If you're beat your gonna pay off your opponent every time. Its just a cooler and you move on.

Randy1337 1 year ago
@Randy1337 BT's played with him so much and has his frequencies pegged, unlike you. PA knows BT is barreling with a large percentage of his hands on the turn, and Bt knows Pa knows this. with that said, PA's perceived range is pretty weak on the river which is obviously why he value bet qj in the first place. PA knows that he's value betting thin a huge portion of the time and could easily turn a hand like A6ss or 74ss into a bluff, which is why BT called.
