[Cryogenian]

@longjohnw86 he is a team pokerstars pro that won a WSOP bracket in 2011 in a field of 4,576 ans you never heard of him, you must be one of these causal poker fans that only know of hellmuth, doyle, annie duke, mike the month etc.. lame

[maiabh]

how the hell did he know he could make that call???

[Cryogenian]

Lykov discounts the 4 the ace and the 3 (and also any pocket pair) if so then he is ahead with the king, the river is the most trouble a Jack this card might had been in his range J-10 J-9 QJ , but getting good odds believing he was head on all other streets also in if Tolo didn't have an ace or a four why not check behind when he hit the jack? he would have showdown value but Tolo has none and knows the only way he wins the pot is to bet at it, Lykov knows this too.. and calls

I feel like now would be a good time for a "In Soviet Russia joke."

Daniel Negreanu: "The most aggressive player is gonna win this pot"

[Micastoni]

@Tembath29 Those were some "agressive" calls :)

[longjohnw86]

@Cryogenian Ive prolly logged more hands then you in life and Im sorry if I dont know the name of every person that has ever won a bracelet!

[DisturbedV7]

i'd call there, but the donks i play with usually shows me some bs like a pair of twos and makes me look like a retard

[Zwollem]

Cyrogenian please dont try to rationalize this because its impossible. This HAS to be the result of some history between the 2 of them. Some kind of read or something. It has nothing to do with ranges or dry cards anymore.

He's wearing an Ed Hardy shirt.

I refuse to give him props...

@Cryogenian Quite funny how you analysed this hand, don't you think Tolo would play AK/AQ the same way? Going for thin rivervalue with a 2/3 pot bet, I mean if Lykov is capable of making these calls you simply have to valuebet AJ+ there. I think this is a read or a gutfeeling, I doubt he analysed the hand when he made the call. You also say it's doubtfull for Tolo to have a 4 in his range, if he openraises 67o he'll most likely openraise 45s 64s 44 and sometimes A4s. It's doubtfull but possible

In Soviet Russia, the pot raises you.
