demidov plays here so fuckin good

[ets008]

I thnk Phillips demonstrated the worst possible way to play AK in that spot

[omc03]

What happened to the rest? Who cuts a vid of at that point?

@yanick203 so what u want? a medal?

[ucla198]

phillip played it horrendously. ivan 4bet pre cause he doesn't believe phillip has that strong a hand (maybe a hand like AJ or 1010 AT BEST). phillip shouldn't limp reraise pre with AK espeically since he doesn't shove after ivan 4bets. also the donk bet by phillip was stupid since ivan showed so much strength pre that ivan probably isn't folding (ivan could easily have QQ+, AQ+, or set of 10s or Js.)

I'm not so sure that Demidov's play here is great. Limp/raising pre flop is a sign of real strength. I'd be ranging Phillips on TT+ and AK here. I don't think he's folding any of those apart from what he actually had.

I just eliminated Ivan Demidov on Pokerstars in a sit n go

[curuzu]

I think Ivan thought "well, the old man looks unconfortable, I re raised preflop so my image is like AA or KK, 1st plan; push I make him fold, 2nd plan; If he call I have 2 over cards and a UpDown Straight draw.... Do or die" IM ALL IN!!

@crockett616 It's very easy why Demidov reraised, if you play poker long enough, u must know that chip leaders usually open most of the pots by trying to steal, which ivan did(opened a lot), and Phillips could easily play back at him by limp reraising- so Demidov decided to 9bet him, which is also very strong if Phillips doesn't have AA there, he could put Ivan on AA.

@11kike17

Weak bet? 4.5 millions? :D Are you kidding me? :o))) Should mean he hits a set, or over pair, it was good move, but Demidov decided gamble and for this time, well play. But he has afraid to push it. Only way, fold or push :o) I thing, that was pretty good decision, but againts set???? Just gable, he cant know.
