00:00:00,516 --> 00:00:02,501
Podcasting from the ad up studio.

2
00:00:03,136 --> 00:00:05,621
It's the longest running Poker podcast

3
00:00:06,074 --> 00:00:07,583
for the everyday Poker player,

4
00:00:08,154 --> 00:00:10,216
with your host, go scale.

5
00:00:16,405 --> 00:00:16,460
With

6
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:20,077
Hello, A team, and welcome to the Anti

7
00:00:20,156 --> 00:00:22,620
Poker podcast. Wherever every hand is an opportunity.

8
00:00:22,859 --> 00:00:25,503
Every player is a friend. And every episode

00:00:25,503 --> 00:00:26,622
is a winning experience.

10
00:00:27,261 --> 00:00:29,440
I'm your host, Joe Scales, and

11
00:00:30,298 --> 00:00:33,015
it's been tough readjust the East Coast time.

12
00:00:33,988 --> 00:00:35,600
I didn't think it would be, but

13
00:00:35,975 --> 00:00:37,722
I've been awake at night and tired in

14
00:00:37,722 --> 00:00:38,381
the morning

15
00:00:38,914 --> 00:00:39,947
every day this week.

16
00:00:40,901 --> 00:00:43,383
Hopefully, this weekend we'll... Help me get the

17
00:00:43,383 --> 00:00:44,820
schedule straightened back out.

18
00:00:46,177 --> 00:00:48,332
I also plan on taking a lot of

19
00:00:48,332 --> 00:00:50,488
time this weekend to play in the Ante

20
00:00:50,488 --> 00:00:53,375
up series on Rad Poker. So if you

21
00:00:53,375 --> 00:00:55,768
haven't already joined the site, be sure to

22
00:00:55,768 --> 00:00:57,602
do that, I'd love to play with some

23
00:00:57,602 --> 00:00:58,160
of you guys.

24
00:00:59,436 --> 00:01:01,031
There have been some on the...

25
00:01:01,683 --> 00:01:04,073
App where it's been difficult to get people

26
00:01:04,073 --> 00:01:05,348
on the site at the same time,

27
00:01:05,985 --> 00:01:07,897
which is what this is all about. We

28
00:01:07,897 --> 00:01:09,990
wanna get a bunch of people signed up

29
00:01:10,127 --> 00:01:12,459
so that no matter when we log on,

30
00:01:13,019 --> 00:01:13,900
we can find a game.

31
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,719
There's a link in the show description. So

32
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:17,420
join me there.

33
00:01:19,427 --> 00:01:21,177
I know I mentioned this a while back,

34
00:01:21,416 --> 00:01:21,916
but

35
00:01:22,291 --> 00:01:24,997
the tip to scale segment really is coming.

36
00:01:26,045 --> 00:01:28,507
I probably jumped the gun a little bit

37
00:01:28,507 --> 00:01:30,969
and announcing it when I did because I

38
00:01:30,969 --> 00:01:32,478
still had a lot of work to do

39
00:01:32,478 --> 00:01:33,114
for the segment.

40
00:01:33,844 --> 00:01:36,150
But I was hoping to, you know, get

41
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:38,615
you guys involved and get you sending in

42
00:01:38,615 --> 00:01:41,001
some some topics to talk about. Which you

43
00:01:41,001 --> 00:01:43,466
did, and I'm I'm grateful for that.

44
00:01:45,626 --> 00:01:47,636
1 thing I've learned from doing this

45
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:48,907
is that it

46
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,506
helps keep me accountable. Right?

47
00:01:52,953 --> 00:01:55,366
And I need that because sometimes

48
00:01:55,902 --> 00:01:57,735
I can get in my own way. And

49
00:01:57,735 --> 00:02:00,047
if something doesn't look exactly the way I

50
00:02:00,047 --> 00:02:00,286
want,

51
00:02:01,018 --> 00:02:03,484
or sound the way I want, it sits

52
00:02:03,484 --> 00:02:05,472
on hold until I get it just right.

53
00:02:06,745 --> 00:02:09,151
Now if you've ever gone back and listen

54
00:02:09,151 --> 00:02:11,226
to the older episodes of me doing this

55
00:02:11,226 --> 00:02:11,785
early on,

56
00:02:13,142 --> 00:02:13,881
it's probably

57
00:02:14,339 --> 00:02:16,036
pretty hard to get through. But

58
00:02:16,348 --> 00:02:18,338
it had to be put out. So I

59
00:02:18,338 --> 00:02:19,794
just had to learn

60
00:02:20,488 --> 00:02:21,602
on the job a little.

61
00:02:22,557 --> 00:02:23,933
And and that's actually

62
00:02:24,405 --> 00:02:26,324
been a common theme for me lately, which

63
00:02:26,324 --> 00:02:28,245
is out of my comfort zone a little

64
00:02:28,245 --> 00:02:28,405
bit.

65
00:02:30,245 --> 00:02:31,365
All of that is to say,

66
00:02:32,178 --> 00:02:34,012
I'm getting that segment ready,

67
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:37,043
and it'll be coming soon, but it's not

68
00:02:37,043 --> 00:02:38,159
there just yet.

69
00:02:39,036 --> 00:02:39,595
Very soon.

70
00:02:41,842 --> 00:02:43,617
That's all I really have. So

71
00:02:44,232 --> 00:02:45,268
let's get on with the show.

72
00:02:48,137 --> 00:02:50,368
Find out, what conversations are happening around the

73
00:02:50,368 --> 00:02:50,925
poker table.

74
00:02:51,897 --> 00:02:52,934
With table tom.

75
00:03:01,244 --> 00:03:02,361
L and I are,

76
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,956
back around the Poker table.

77
00:03:04,754 --> 00:03:06,907
And it's the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

78
00:03:07,864 --> 00:03:10,177
It is. You're right. Yeah. I'm excited about

79
00:03:10,177 --> 00:03:11,707
watching that tonight. That'll be fun.

80
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:14,099
Snoop carried in the torch?

81
00:03:14,976 --> 00:03:16,968
Yes. He did. He's not the only 1

82
00:03:16,968 --> 00:03:18,961
to carry the torch, but he's definitely all

83
00:03:18,961 --> 00:03:20,887
over. He was hanging out with the fence

84
00:03:20,887 --> 00:03:22,639
earlier today. Was he? Yeah.

85
00:03:23,355 --> 00:03:26,460
I love his personality, and he... He ran

86
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:29,108
a time trial. Yeah. I saw that. Remember

87
00:03:29,267 --> 00:03:31,525
He did really well. Yeah. So Snoop is

88
00:03:31,585 --> 00:03:35,281
represent America in all facets all over. Surprisingly,

89
00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:38,135
the man can run. He really can. Yeah.

90
00:03:38,373 --> 00:03:39,564
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

91
00:03:40,913 --> 00:03:42,659
It's it's been really weird since been back.

92
00:03:42,818 --> 00:03:43,770
I mean, first of all,

93
00:03:44,819 --> 00:03:45,780
I'm feeling much better.

94
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:47,219
Hallelujah yeah.

95
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:48,259
But

96
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:51,379
and cleared by 2 different physicians, so I'm

97
00:03:51,379 --> 00:03:54,265
super pleased. Yeah. I I had 2 follow

98
00:03:54,265 --> 00:03:56,727
up appointments and and they have given me

99
00:03:56,727 --> 00:03:59,031
good feedback. So it's good. I apparently need

100
00:03:59,031 --> 00:04:01,279
to cut down on the amount of dairy

101
00:04:01,588 --> 00:04:02,859
that I eat. Who a thought.

102
00:04:06,194 --> 00:04:07,567
It's also odd

103
00:04:08,020 --> 00:04:09,235
being back home

104
00:04:09,544 --> 00:04:11,395
I mean, we were surrounded by Poker

105
00:04:11,770 --> 00:04:14,472
all day every day. Lights and people and

106
00:04:14,472 --> 00:04:15,744
street sounds and noise,

107
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:18,527
and even just taking the dog out feels

108
00:04:18,527 --> 00:04:20,239
weird. Yeah. So,

109
00:04:20,697 --> 00:04:23,095
however, loves to be back reunited with her,

110
00:04:23,175 --> 00:04:25,412
and I know she's happy we're home. But,

111
00:04:25,572 --> 00:04:27,270
yes, I even found it very

112
00:04:28,064 --> 00:04:29,742
odd just going back to the day to

113
00:04:29,742 --> 00:04:29,981
day.

114
00:04:30,940 --> 00:04:33,817
Yeah. We did have the patreon monthly game

115
00:04:33,817 --> 00:04:34,876
last night and

116
00:04:35,826 --> 00:04:36,935
still a little butt hurt.

117
00:04:38,283 --> 00:04:40,344
Well, first of all, Elliott shaq your joined

118
00:04:40,344 --> 00:04:42,009
us last night, which is awesome. And I

119
00:04:42,009 --> 00:04:44,175
specifically asked not to be at his table

120
00:04:44,175 --> 00:04:45,694
if at all possible. I know that's not

121
00:04:45,694 --> 00:04:48,254
fair. I did put in special request.

122
00:04:48,894 --> 00:04:50,595
It was not... The computer said

123
00:04:51,069 --> 00:04:52,528
Wrong answer. And

124
00:04:53,626 --> 00:04:55,544
Elliott it knocked me out. I finally had

125
00:04:55,544 --> 00:04:57,881
a a decent hand and did not have

126
00:04:57,941 --> 00:04:58,760
great cards

127
00:04:59,471 --> 00:05:01,458
I played some that I should not have

128
00:05:01,458 --> 00:05:02,275
played against

129
00:05:03,047 --> 00:05:05,510
some competitive people that we have. Yeah. And

130
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:06,010
then

131
00:05:07,193 --> 00:05:08,805
finally got Pocket queens

132
00:05:09,178 --> 00:05:10,472
only to find out

133
00:05:11,084 --> 00:05:12,934
elliott checked head pocket

134
00:05:13,546 --> 00:05:14,046
kings.

135
00:05:14,833 --> 00:05:14,993
Yeah.

136
00:05:15,711 --> 00:05:15,950
Well,

137
00:05:17,784 --> 00:05:19,539
Carmen did bite him though. Yeah. She's a

138
00:05:19,539 --> 00:05:19,619
bit.

139
00:05:21,613 --> 00:05:23,447
Because it wasn't, but maybe a few hands

140
00:05:23,447 --> 00:05:23,766
later,

141
00:05:24,738 --> 00:05:28,087
that he had pocket kings again and ran

142
00:05:28,087 --> 00:05:30,181
them into pocket aces. So,

143
00:05:31,595 --> 00:05:31,834
wow.

144
00:05:33,284 --> 00:05:34,078
I love you, Elliot.

145
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:37,199
It was it was awesome having him there

146
00:05:37,414 --> 00:05:37,914
just

147
00:05:38,684 --> 00:05:40,511
adding another fun element. I mean, we we

148
00:05:40,511 --> 00:05:41,464
always have a good time.

149
00:05:43,547 --> 00:05:46,419
Congratulations also to Chris, who's Tee Titan,

150
00:05:48,254 --> 00:05:49,770
who took down the 50 dollar prize.

151
00:05:50,664 --> 00:05:52,262
He... Yeah. Way to go dude. Way to

152
00:05:52,262 --> 00:05:54,659
battle. Yeah. It we got down the heads

153
00:05:54,659 --> 00:05:57,376
up, he and I, and it went back

154
00:05:57,376 --> 00:05:58,335
and forth for a while.

155
00:05:59,069 --> 00:06:00,660
Yeah. We didn't have Bob Chopper in the

156
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:03,444
hand. So we actually had some heads up

157
00:06:03,444 --> 00:06:03,682
action.

158
00:06:06,164 --> 00:06:08,154
It it was interesting to me though, because

159
00:06:08,154 --> 00:06:09,905
we don't usually have people stick around that

160
00:06:09,905 --> 00:06:12,294
long. Like, after they bust out, then they've

161
00:06:12,294 --> 00:06:14,180
got things to do. They're gone... We had

162
00:06:14,616 --> 00:06:16,044
a crew. I guess we were we were

163
00:06:16,044 --> 00:06:17,947
having a good time having some chat and

164
00:06:17,947 --> 00:06:19,320
was in interesting

165
00:06:19,692 --> 00:06:20,485
heads up battle.

166
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:22,175
And so

167
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:24,714
a lot of people stuck around. Yeah. That

168
00:06:24,714 --> 00:06:26,148
was that was nice to see. It's a

169
00:06:26,148 --> 00:06:27,582
fun evening. You guys should join us. If

170
00:06:27,582 --> 00:06:29,437
you haven't already signed up for the Patreon

171
00:06:29,972 --> 00:06:31,008
game. It's fun.

172
00:06:31,979 --> 00:06:33,735
10 bucks a month with the possibility of

173
00:06:33,735 --> 00:06:34,373
winning 50.

174
00:06:34,932 --> 00:06:38,204
And cannot go wrong. And honestly, it is

175
00:06:38,204 --> 00:06:40,774
a turbo style. Yeah. Tournament.

176
00:06:41,253 --> 00:06:43,751
It is not a super turbo

177
00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:47,087
or an extra charge turbo or hyper turbo...

178
00:06:47,886 --> 00:06:50,858
Turbo that I hate I found out. That's

179
00:06:50,858 --> 00:06:52,455
why you hear this in my voice. It's

180
00:06:52,455 --> 00:06:54,692
a Turbo tournament. It's fun. It's once to

181
00:06:54,692 --> 00:06:54,932
month.

182
00:06:55,651 --> 00:06:56,391
Come hang

183
00:06:57,423 --> 00:06:59,415
you can turn your camera on and your

184
00:06:59,415 --> 00:07:01,089
mic on, You don't have to turn on

185
00:07:01,089 --> 00:07:02,365
either. You can just come and get some

186
00:07:02,365 --> 00:07:04,517
hands in. It's nice. We enjoy it. Right.

187
00:07:04,756 --> 00:07:07,490
And There's always that possibility even if you

188
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:09,649
don't win first, we we do have the

189
00:07:09,649 --> 00:07:10,050
bounty,

190
00:07:10,769 --> 00:07:13,089
which Cajun Joe was the bounty this week.

191
00:07:13,821 --> 00:07:14,218
And

192
00:07:15,012 --> 00:07:16,918
he got knocked out by 1 of our

193
00:07:16,918 --> 00:07:17,474
new players,

194
00:07:18,030 --> 00:07:19,857
Pocket quad. Got your name.

195
00:07:20,651 --> 00:07:22,160
He got the 15 dollar bounty.

196
00:07:23,288 --> 00:07:26,075
But that was that was fun. I also

197
00:07:26,075 --> 00:07:28,863
went and played my usual, like, home game.

198
00:07:30,057 --> 00:07:31,252
Yeah. I went and, like, hung out with

199
00:07:31,252 --> 00:07:33,016
the girls. And you wouldn't and played your

200
00:07:33,016 --> 00:07:34,231
home game. Yeah. Which

201
00:07:34,683 --> 00:07:35,501
which also

202
00:07:36,589 --> 00:07:37,407
had a contest

203
00:07:37,939 --> 00:07:39,686
to see who's going on the cruise. Yeah.

204
00:07:40,179 --> 00:07:42,810
So 1 percent to leave urgently, and I

205
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:44,405
think there's still 3 players that are gonna

206
00:07:44,405 --> 00:07:46,877
play that out. But really cool. Your home

207
00:07:46,877 --> 00:07:48,791
game decided to say, hey, let's pitch in

208
00:07:48,791 --> 00:07:49,999
and extra for 200 bucks,

209
00:07:50,872 --> 00:07:51,372
and

210
00:07:51,985 --> 00:07:52,802
that winner

211
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:56,195
gets the trip and a plane ticket. Yeah.

212
00:07:56,989 --> 00:07:58,916
And for when I first walked in the

213
00:07:58,916 --> 00:08:00,591
door, like, all of the talk was the

214
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:02,903
W sop controversy. Oh, I'm sure because we

215
00:08:02,903 --> 00:08:04,817
were front row seat, they were hot and

216
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,253
heavy. Right? Yeah. They wanted to know my

217
00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:06,811
take for sure.

218
00:08:07,702 --> 00:08:09,605
And I just... I wanna make sure that

219
00:08:09,605 --> 00:08:11,612
everybody understands. The controversy is

220
00:08:12,143 --> 00:08:14,998
the laptop, the solve on the rail, Not.

221
00:08:15,649 --> 00:08:17,963
That there was an earpiece into my ear,

222
00:08:18,761 --> 00:08:19,001
like...

223
00:08:19,719 --> 00:08:21,475
That it wasn't true to begin with. I

224
00:08:21,475 --> 00:08:23,071
we watched the whole time we were there

225
00:08:23,071 --> 00:08:25,154
hand. It's been proven over and over and

226
00:08:25,154 --> 00:08:26,505
over and over and over and over and

227
00:08:26,505 --> 00:08:28,514
over in that video that that was not

228
00:08:28,571 --> 00:08:31,114
into My ear. Right. Joe mccann had 1

229
00:08:31,114 --> 00:08:32,147
in his left ear.

230
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:33,837
I think it was his left year. He

231
00:08:33,837 --> 00:08:34,874
was just taking it out to give the

232
00:08:34,874 --> 00:08:37,349
doo to hug. Yeah. Or fell out or

233
00:08:37,349 --> 00:08:37,828
whatever.

234
00:08:40,063 --> 00:08:41,260
But as far as the...

235
00:08:42,631 --> 00:08:44,466
Laptop or the solve on the rail.

236
00:08:47,257 --> 00:08:49,649
You can make your case for whatever side

237
00:08:49,649 --> 00:08:51,815
you wanna make your case for. Personally,

238
00:08:53,085 --> 00:08:55,945
I I don't wanna see someone using solve.

239
00:08:57,533 --> 00:08:59,598
I mean, basically, it's a... It's it's it's

240
00:08:59,598 --> 00:09:00,733
essentially just

241
00:09:01,602 --> 00:09:03,837
you saying, it wouldn't be any different than

242
00:09:03,837 --> 00:09:04,954
if I pulled out a piece of paper,

243
00:09:05,114 --> 00:09:05,592
and I said,

244
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:08,545
how should I play in the upcoming position?

245
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,039
You know, pulled out some chart and said,

246
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:14,240
how should I play in the next position

247
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,759
coming up. So if I'm under the gun,

248
00:09:16,174 --> 00:09:17,855
How should I play the button and you

249
00:09:17,855 --> 00:09:18,975
look on your chart and you say, oh,

250
00:09:19,214 --> 00:09:20,414
I should open these hands.

251
00:09:21,615 --> 00:09:23,774
It it wouldn't be any different than that.

252
00:09:24,348 --> 00:09:24,848
So

253
00:09:25,385 --> 00:09:28,256
that's my take. But... Yeah. But nobody's doing

254
00:09:28,256 --> 00:09:31,149
that. Right. Because it... It's not

255
00:09:31,686 --> 00:09:33,201
legal. That's what you should be studying.

256
00:09:33,932 --> 00:09:36,871
Yeah. And I think as far as laptops

257
00:09:36,871 --> 00:09:39,572
go, there were lots of people on lots

258
00:09:39,572 --> 00:09:41,716
of rails with laptops and phones.

259
00:09:42,129 --> 00:09:45,645
Watching the the hour delay to see what

260
00:09:45,645 --> 00:09:47,722
was going on and and giving their guy

261
00:09:47,722 --> 00:09:48,462
or girl

262
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:49,800
info,

263
00:09:50,374 --> 00:09:51,013
That's helpful.

264
00:09:51,491 --> 00:09:55,184
Right. It's also an hour later. Right. So

265
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,275
regardless of whether you...

266
00:09:59,485 --> 00:10:00,303
Agree with

267
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,226
having the laptops there or the solve there

268
00:10:03,226 --> 00:10:03,783
or not...

269
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:06,648
The W sop had made an announcement that

270
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:08,081
you weren't allowed to use solve.

271
00:10:08,653 --> 00:10:10,027
Or you could be disqualified.

272
00:10:10,878 --> 00:10:11,275
Now,

273
00:10:12,865 --> 00:10:14,137
we'll see what they do for next year.

274
00:10:14,296 --> 00:10:16,458
Yeah. I'm curious or even December. Have an

275
00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:18,053
event coming up in December. They do. They

276
00:10:18,053 --> 00:10:19,090
do and in the Bahamas.

277
00:10:19,649 --> 00:10:21,903
There's also a couple of other topics that

278
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:23,477
we just flat out,

279
00:10:24,673 --> 00:10:25,812
forgot to mention

280
00:10:26,523 --> 00:10:28,359
after all the chaos of getting.

281
00:10:28,758 --> 00:10:31,152
That's true. That's true. We didn't even talk

282
00:10:31,152 --> 00:10:33,067
about the spear. I had been obsessed with

283
00:10:33,067 --> 00:10:33,785
this sphere.

284
00:10:34,597 --> 00:10:35,315
Year an half.

285
00:10:36,193 --> 00:10:37,628
And we didn't even talk about the fact

286
00:10:37,628 --> 00:10:38,766
that we scored tickets

287
00:10:39,622 --> 00:10:41,696
to the dead and company. We got to

288
00:10:41,696 --> 00:10:43,610
see John Mayer and the dead.

289
00:10:44,825 --> 00:10:48,125
Gl in the sphere in the

290
00:10:48,504 --> 00:10:51,305
sphere. Right. So you finally got to see

291
00:10:51,305 --> 00:10:53,384
the inside of the sphere after talking about

292
00:10:53,384 --> 00:10:55,018
it being built and

293
00:10:55,877 --> 00:10:57,236
it's like the jets ins in there, man.

294
00:10:57,795 --> 00:11:00,352
There's escalators going this way and that way

295
00:11:00,352 --> 00:11:02,531
and the lighting and

296
00:11:03,721 --> 00:11:04,911
I think it was... I thought it was

297
00:11:04,911 --> 00:11:05,625
beautiful venue.

298
00:11:06,736 --> 00:11:07,925
Let me and let me just tell you.

299
00:11:08,163 --> 00:11:09,829
We were not sure what kind of crowd

300
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:11,257
we were going into. We were not...

301
00:11:12,149 --> 00:11:14,146
Dead heads to begin with. We wanted to

302
00:11:14,146 --> 00:11:14,786
be in this sphere.

303
00:11:15,984 --> 00:11:18,062
The happiest group of people I've ever been

304
00:11:18,062 --> 00:11:18,861
to a concert with.

305
00:11:20,393 --> 00:11:22,707
Yeah. Yeah. They were. For any number of

306
00:11:22,707 --> 00:11:24,542
reasons, but let me tell you, I will

307
00:11:24,542 --> 00:11:25,601
go back to

308
00:11:25,979 --> 00:11:29,106
a dead and company show. Any day over

309
00:11:29,106 --> 00:11:30,942
lots of other concerts that I've attended. Not

310
00:11:30,942 --> 00:11:33,677
1 person pushing in chu, not 1 person

311
00:11:34,613 --> 00:11:36,383
jacking for a position in front of you,

312
00:11:36,542 --> 00:11:38,951
nobody complaining about food or beverages,

313
00:11:39,883 --> 00:11:42,587
nobody complaining about the bathroom line. I think

314
00:11:42,587 --> 00:11:44,037
everybody was just of happy to be there.

315
00:11:44,357 --> 00:11:46,293
And I think it's the venue in

316
00:11:46,911 --> 00:11:48,768
in a lot of ways, but I also

317
00:11:49,545 --> 00:11:51,754
found those fans. I mean, even exiting till

318
00:11:51,794 --> 00:11:53,867
forever and nobody was upset. Right.

319
00:11:54,584 --> 00:11:57,215
It's true. And I will say,

320
00:11:58,092 --> 00:12:00,815
I don't think I've ever seen. Forever 1

321
00:12:00,815 --> 00:12:01,871
person in concert

322
00:12:02,246 --> 00:12:04,074
as many times as the guy that we

323
00:12:04,074 --> 00:12:04,471
talked to,

324
00:12:05,823 --> 00:12:07,890
there were 23 dead shows at the spear.

325
00:12:08,049 --> 00:12:10,686
He saw 22 of them. On 23 to

326
00:12:10,686 --> 00:12:12,433
that date. There were... There's more after that.

327
00:12:12,592 --> 00:12:14,181
Yeah. I mean, it... And

328
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:16,881
we just talked about logistics and what it

329
00:12:16,881 --> 00:12:17,540
looked like

330
00:12:18,088 --> 00:12:18,985
the experience

331
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:24,865
unreal. I mean, I don't know that

332
00:12:25,812 --> 00:12:27,485
I'm just gonna be able to go watch

333
00:12:27,485 --> 00:12:28,998
regular live music anymore?

334
00:12:30,114 --> 00:12:32,026
It's definitely gonna be hard. It's definitely gonna

335
00:12:32,026 --> 00:12:33,698
be different. I mean, we... We've talked about

336
00:12:33,698 --> 00:12:35,649
the fact that... You have

337
00:12:36,910 --> 00:12:38,529
musician who are purely

338
00:12:38,910 --> 00:12:42,610
musicians. Right. They they are singers. They are

339
00:12:42,924 --> 00:12:44,704
are writers. They are

340
00:12:45,804 --> 00:12:46,845
performers. Yeah. Right?

341
00:12:47,644 --> 00:12:48,144
Some

342
00:12:48,524 --> 00:12:50,845
musicians you meet are also entertainer. They've kinda

343
00:12:50,845 --> 00:12:52,065
got that duo

344
00:12:53,098 --> 00:12:54,954
going for them. Right. But

345
00:12:55,570 --> 00:12:57,564
you get in the sphere and there's a

346
00:12:57,564 --> 00:12:58,064
whole

347
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,712
another level. Yeah. Like, the sphere does some

348
00:13:01,712 --> 00:13:03,483
of it for you. A hundred percent. Yeah.

349
00:13:03,962 --> 00:13:05,560
So you don't have to be as big

350
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:08,356
of an entertainer so to speak for it

351
00:13:08,356 --> 00:13:09,395
to be entertaining.

352
00:13:10,047 --> 00:13:12,270
It it it actually. And it makes those

353
00:13:12,270 --> 00:13:13,778
seats. We were up we were up high.

354
00:13:14,095 --> 00:13:15,445
Really high. Which too high.

355
00:13:16,477 --> 00:13:18,144
L is afraid of heights. Yeah. We were

356
00:13:18,144 --> 00:13:20,073
too high. And so let's say it again,

357
00:13:20,232 --> 00:13:21,351
we were too high.

358
00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:24,627
We weren't as high up as you could

359
00:13:24,627 --> 00:13:26,305
get, but we were... We were far.

360
00:13:26,877 --> 00:13:29,425
We were far. You cannot make this better.

361
00:13:29,823 --> 00:13:30,062
Well.

362
00:13:31,972 --> 00:13:34,042
But in that 400 section,

363
00:13:35,332 --> 00:13:37,725
we had just as good a show as

364
00:13:37,725 --> 00:13:40,118
somebody down in the 100 section. A hundred

365
00:13:40,118 --> 00:13:42,453
percent, and we even talked to people who

366
00:13:42,511 --> 00:13:44,026
had bought tickets for 3 days in a

367
00:13:44,026 --> 00:13:45,877
row, We talked to guys who had just

368
00:13:45,877 --> 00:13:47,792
been to the show the night before. They

369
00:13:47,792 --> 00:13:49,788
said this was a whole different show. They

370
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:51,464
had been in the 200 level. They were

371
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:53,954
at the 400 level, and, honestly, to... The

372
00:13:53,954 --> 00:13:55,152
guys behind us at the end,

373
00:13:56,670 --> 00:13:58,508
tapped us on the shoulder and said, we

374
00:13:58,508 --> 00:14:00,026
we had 1 of the best nights. Yeah.

375
00:14:00,346 --> 00:14:01,165
And so

376
00:14:01,479 --> 00:14:03,391
we can honestly say that because it was

377
00:14:03,391 --> 00:14:04,905
told to us by other people who'd been

378
00:14:04,905 --> 00:14:06,441
to other shows. I mean, I

379
00:14:07,454 --> 00:14:09,144
I didn't want it to stop. And it

380
00:14:09,144 --> 00:14:11,061
it went on for 3 hours. 3 hours.

381
00:14:11,301 --> 00:14:12,201
Yeah. So

382
00:14:13,139 --> 00:14:13,639
cannot

383
00:14:14,337 --> 00:14:16,196
tell you to run

384
00:14:17,149 --> 00:14:19,066
book a ticket, figure out how to get

385
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:21,623
there. The eagles are up next. We're already

386
00:14:21,623 --> 00:14:22,661
planning our next trip,

387
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:25,233
and we're seats are gonna be. Thank you,

388
00:14:25,393 --> 00:14:27,651
mom, for our early Christmas present

389
00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:30,588
because you got us there, and,

390
00:14:31,307 --> 00:14:32,526
we had an

391
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:33,545
damn good time.

392
00:14:34,197 --> 00:14:37,139
Absolutely. Not I I definitely wanna go back

393
00:14:37,139 --> 00:14:38,491
to to that venue for sure.

394
00:14:39,683 --> 00:14:41,671
Another thing that we didn't talk about,

395
00:14:43,043 --> 00:14:44,961
Was that new room into v venetian? Oh,

396
00:14:45,121 --> 00:14:46,959
I can't wait. We we went we went

397
00:14:46,959 --> 00:14:49,117
to the current room. Yeah. We had a

398
00:14:49,117 --> 00:14:50,955
great conversation with the staff there. Like, it

399
00:14:50,955 --> 00:14:51,649
was it

400
00:14:52,090 --> 00:14:52,590
super

401
00:14:53,210 --> 00:14:55,850
great group that works there. Yeah. But... And

402
00:14:55,850 --> 00:14:57,129
it was super busy. Yeah.

403
00:14:57,769 --> 00:15:00,090
Yeah. Well, that's 1 thing that the W

404
00:15:00,090 --> 00:15:02,576
sop does is. It filters out to the

405
00:15:02,576 --> 00:15:05,913
other other rooms for sure. But their... The

406
00:15:05,913 --> 00:15:06,810
venetian is busy

407
00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:09,749
quite often. But this new room

408
00:15:10,457 --> 00:15:12,445
opens on August first.

409
00:15:12,923 --> 00:15:13,423
And

410
00:15:14,036 --> 00:15:15,707
they have so many things planned.

411
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:16,820
Like,

412
00:15:17,473 --> 00:15:18,830
above the felt... Our friends and above the

413
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:20,347
felt are gonna be back there. We really

414
00:15:20,347 --> 00:15:21,704
wish we could have,

415
00:15:22,263 --> 00:15:23,540
made the trip back out. It was just

416
00:15:23,540 --> 00:15:25,615
not able to this quickly. So... Yeah.

417
00:15:26,348 --> 00:15:26,586
Yeah.

418
00:15:27,222 --> 00:15:30,164
They... Before before that, though, they they actually

419
00:15:30,164 --> 00:15:32,548
have a goodbye to the old room, which

420
00:15:32,548 --> 00:15:34,138
is gonna be fun. Oh, that's neat. Yeah.

421
00:15:34,456 --> 00:15:37,820
Cocktails dessert. Gather. Yeah. So of course, poker.

422
00:15:38,458 --> 00:15:41,571
Right. But but, yeah. Then then on August

423
00:15:41,571 --> 00:15:43,248

424
00:15:43,248 --> 00:15:45,657
at above the belt. Will be there,

425
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:47,652
Be K or Jam,

426
00:15:48,450 --> 00:15:49,009
but also,

427
00:15:49,887 --> 00:15:51,802
a fair gal fund will be there. Nice.

428
00:15:52,121 --> 00:15:52,621
And

429
00:15:53,411 --> 00:15:54,923
Jeremy Os, London Ty,

430
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,186
Maria Con. Wow, lots of them. Yeah. Nice.

431
00:15:58,345 --> 00:15:59,618
You're gonna be gonna be lots of people

432
00:15:59,618 --> 00:16:01,289
there. They actually have a women's meetup up

433
00:16:01,289 --> 00:16:03,538
game on the night. I know I really

434
00:16:03,538 --> 00:16:05,775
wish that we had realized this sooner. Yeah.

435
00:16:06,255 --> 00:16:06,755
But

436
00:16:07,214 --> 00:16:07,773
say, love.

437
00:16:08,492 --> 00:16:10,650
Yeah. So if if we were able to

438
00:16:10,650 --> 00:16:12,260
do it? I would go back just for

439
00:16:12,260 --> 00:16:14,492
this. Unfortunately, we're gonna be on the east

440
00:16:14,492 --> 00:16:16,724
coast when the Venetian opens their new poker

441
00:16:16,724 --> 00:16:18,717
room, but we're really looking forward and we'll

442
00:16:18,717 --> 00:16:19,115
definitely...

443
00:16:19,768 --> 00:16:21,443
Stay tuned to social media,

444
00:16:21,922 --> 00:16:24,394
pictures, video from all of our friends at

445
00:16:24,394 --> 00:16:24,952
above the felt,

446
00:16:25,909 --> 00:16:28,244
just to kinda keep us updated in and

447
00:16:28,462 --> 00:16:30,232
in the loop. We hate that we're missing

448
00:16:30,232 --> 00:16:31,589
this. We wish we could have been back

449
00:16:31,589 --> 00:16:32,728
there for it, but,

450
00:16:33,585 --> 00:16:36,219
we are definitely coming to visit in December.

451
00:16:36,538 --> 00:16:37,815
100 percent. Yeah.

452
00:16:38,789 --> 00:16:39,428
We also...

453
00:16:39,907 --> 00:16:42,065
We got a really nice email from,

454
00:16:42,864 --> 00:16:44,063
a listener to the show,

455
00:16:45,102 --> 00:16:47,434
A in a... An email that just kinda

456
00:16:47,434 --> 00:16:49,592
had some feedback for the show. A link

457
00:16:49,592 --> 00:16:52,170
to email. We really appreciate it. Yeah. But

458
00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:52,889
he

459
00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:54,647
had mentioned

460
00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:55,665
that

461
00:16:57,036 --> 00:16:58,388
you were always the 1 to end the

462
00:16:58,388 --> 00:17:00,296
show with talking about it it's a pleasure

463
00:17:00,296 --> 00:17:03,239
being around the table with you, and he

464
00:17:03,239 --> 00:17:04,773
pointed out the fact that

465
00:17:05,163 --> 00:17:07,393
I'm never the 1 to end the show

466
00:17:07,393 --> 00:17:07,871
this way.

467
00:17:09,304 --> 00:17:10,101
So today,

468
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:12,649
l, I want you to know.

469
00:17:13,938 --> 00:17:15,526
Always a pleasure being around the table with

470
00:17:15,526 --> 00:17:15,685
you.

471
00:17:16,479 --> 00:17:16,717
Likewise,

472
00:17:17,352 --> 00:17:18,146
and thanks, A.

473
00:17:22,053 --> 00:17:24,067
Gal time for call the floor

474
00:17:24,443 --> 00:17:25,739
with Elliott Sc.

475
00:17:30,829 --> 00:17:32,658
Elliott sc joined us each week to say

476
00:17:32,658 --> 00:17:34,409
how he would rule on situations that come

477
00:17:34,409 --> 00:17:35,204
up in your games,

478
00:17:36,159 --> 00:17:38,784
and he's with us again this week. Elliot,

479
00:17:38,943 --> 00:17:40,792
how's it going? Going pretty well. Here I

480
00:17:40,792 --> 00:17:43,824
am in more casual Yeah. Guard than,

481
00:17:44,862 --> 00:17:46,937
I'm usually at tired in. Yeah. But it's

482
00:17:46,937 --> 00:17:48,629
great to be with you. It's glad to

483
00:17:48,629 --> 00:17:49,667
do another call the floor.

484
00:17:50,307 --> 00:17:52,384
We do have a call the floor that

485
00:17:52,384 --> 00:17:54,062
was sent in by Ken Douglas,

486
00:17:55,021 --> 00:17:55,521
and

487
00:17:56,551 --> 00:17:58,221
this one's gonna be an interesting to me

488
00:17:58,221 --> 00:18:00,368
too. Interesting 1 to me too, I think,

489
00:18:00,686 --> 00:18:02,753
because I don't know yet. But I think

490
00:18:02,753 --> 00:18:04,264
we might come down on different sides of

491
00:18:04,264 --> 00:18:04,582
this 1.

492
00:18:06,748 --> 00:18:08,924
That is possible. Let's have some continuity

493
00:18:09,701 --> 00:18:10,739
yeah I podcast.

494
00:18:12,575 --> 00:18:14,751
Kin says we're deep in the Ms.

495
00:18:15,224 --> 00:18:18,441
San Diego. It's a 250 dollar P o

496
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,416
and, no limit. Hold on mix event. There's

497
00:18:22,416 --> 00:18:25,226
2 tables left and they're approaching the bubble.

498
00:18:26,024 --> 00:18:26,742
This ruling,

499
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:30,494
it's spread out basically over multiple hands.

500
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:32,351
In the hand

501
00:18:32,982 --> 00:18:35,528
Ken's in seat 2, and he's in a

502
00:18:35,528 --> 00:18:37,301
pot with a player in seat 8

503
00:18:37,995 --> 00:18:40,621
and seat 8 has bet all in on

504
00:18:40,621 --> 00:18:41,098
the river,

505
00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:44,523
Ken's got a pretty tough decision to make,

506
00:18:45,316 --> 00:18:46,267
he heads up. So,

507
00:18:47,218 --> 00:18:48,644
he says, while I'm thinking,

508
00:18:49,532 --> 00:18:52,629
the player in seat 5 start saying out

509
00:18:52,629 --> 00:18:52,947
loud,

510
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,330
folder call, folder call.

511
00:18:56,521 --> 00:18:58,268
You know you're gonna fold, folder call.

512
00:18:59,157 --> 00:19:00,986
This goes on for about a minute.

513
00:19:01,860 --> 00:19:02,599
For background,

514
00:19:02,973 --> 00:19:04,983
this player is the chip leader

515
00:19:05,596 --> 00:19:08,061
and has been somewhat annoying the whole tournament.

516
00:19:08,949 --> 00:19:09,846
He also

517
00:19:10,297 --> 00:19:12,225
appears to be somewhat inexperienced

518
00:19:12,836 --> 00:19:14,184
at least in tournament play.

519
00:19:15,945 --> 00:19:17,694
Eventually, Ken says, do you mind I'm trying

520
00:19:17,694 --> 00:19:18,488
to make a decision.

521
00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:21,054
So the

522
00:19:21,746 --> 00:19:24,229
player in seat 5 funds by laughing and

523
00:19:24,229 --> 00:19:25,344
sn At him. He says,

524
00:19:26,460 --> 00:19:28,611
the dealer tells him he cannot talk about

525
00:19:28,611 --> 00:19:31,422
the hand. And eventually Ken folds

526
00:19:33,167 --> 00:19:35,397
The next hand, they get to the river

527
00:19:35,397 --> 00:19:38,105
heads up with that same player in seat

528
00:19:38,105 --> 00:19:39,379
5 the disruptive player.

529
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,132
They're playing P o,

530
00:19:41,783 --> 00:19:43,374
He says I have top 2 pair in

531
00:19:43,374 --> 00:19:45,123
the flush blocker, but the river has brought

532
00:19:45,123 --> 00:19:47,906
a backdoor door flush and backdoor straight,

533
00:19:48,542 --> 00:19:50,769
villain checks, and he bets a third of

534
00:19:50,769 --> 00:19:52,779
the pot. Ken bets a third of the

535
00:19:52,779 --> 00:19:55,660
pot. The villain laughs out loud and pass

536
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:55,820
it.

537
00:19:57,180 --> 00:19:59,019
Again, putting ken all in,

538
00:20:00,634 --> 00:20:01,674
It says if I fold,

539
00:20:02,315 --> 00:20:04,494
I'm left with about 16 big blinds.

540
00:20:05,434 --> 00:20:06,714
This is when the villain again,

541
00:20:07,595 --> 00:20:08,795
it laughs out loud.

542
00:20:09,766 --> 00:20:10,719
Scrunch his face

543
00:20:11,752 --> 00:20:12,546
sn at him.

544
00:20:13,341 --> 00:20:15,009
So basically, he's making faces at him.

545
00:20:15,804 --> 00:20:17,314
Ken asks for the floor.

546
00:20:18,838 --> 00:20:19,576
The floor

547
00:20:20,109 --> 00:20:22,753
arrives, I explained that the bill is verbally

548
00:20:22,809 --> 00:20:25,589
taunting me and interfering with my decisions.

549
00:20:26,479 --> 00:20:28,793
And then he should get a warning to

550
00:20:28,793 --> 00:20:31,107
stop. Other players at the table speak up

551
00:20:31,107 --> 00:20:33,580
and confirm the behavior over several hands.

552
00:20:34,714 --> 00:20:37,194
The floor rules that the hand will be

553
00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:37,755
played out.

554
00:20:39,115 --> 00:20:42,154
Ken kinda gathers himself a little bit, takes

555
00:20:42,154 --> 00:20:43,295
a full 2 minutes

556
00:20:44,168 --> 00:20:44,487
and,

557
00:20:45,525 --> 00:20:46,562
eventually decides to fold.

558
00:20:47,999 --> 00:20:50,233
Flo tells Villain that he can't speak about

559
00:20:50,233 --> 00:20:51,670
action when he is not in the hand,

560
00:20:51,844 --> 00:20:53,589
for the from the first hand, but that

561
00:20:53,589 --> 00:20:55,809
he can't stop him from making faces in

562
00:20:55,809 --> 00:20:58,188
an opponent as it's nodding against the rules.

563
00:20:58,505 --> 00:21:01,388
2 hands later for Ken's move to another

564
00:21:01,388 --> 00:21:01,627
table.

565
00:21:03,226 --> 00:21:05,064
As he sits down, the villain looks at

566
00:21:05,064 --> 00:21:06,742
him from a the other table,

567
00:21:07,382 --> 00:21:08,900
making faces at him again.

568
00:21:10,194 --> 00:21:12,751
So ken discreet calls the floor over and

569
00:21:12,751 --> 00:21:13,550
tells him what happened,

570
00:21:14,109 --> 00:21:15,547
he goes to the billing, gives him a

571
00:21:15,547 --> 00:21:16,746
1 rem... Penalty.

572
00:21:17,225 --> 00:21:17,725
So

573
00:21:18,198 --> 00:21:19,949
This is where we get into the question

574
00:21:19,949 --> 00:21:20,267
for you.

575
00:21:20,983 --> 00:21:22,973
Ken says, am I right to call the

576
00:21:22,973 --> 00:21:23,530
floor here?

577
00:21:24,406 --> 00:21:26,793
I know Villain may not be violating the

578
00:21:26,793 --> 00:21:29,664
letter of the Td rules, but he is

579
00:21:29,664 --> 00:21:32,200
clearly trying to annoy me and his behavior

580
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,102
was just rude and bo.

581
00:21:34,895 --> 00:21:36,903
Td Is this part of the game that

582
00:21:36,903 --> 00:21:38,519
we have to live with or

583
00:21:39,136 --> 00:21:40,571
when we pay the entry fee, do we

584
00:21:40,571 --> 00:21:42,405
have the right to be treated with dignity

585
00:21:42,405 --> 00:21:44,000
and respect at the table?

586
00:21:45,287 --> 00:21:45,526
Well,

587
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:46,718
actually,

588
00:21:47,989 --> 00:21:50,135
this kind of behavior is expressly against the

589
00:21:50,135 --> 00:21:50,373
rules.

590
00:21:51,406 --> 00:21:52,837
And anybody who says it isn't.

591
00:21:53,805 --> 00:21:56,584
Especially somebody working in the industry as a

592
00:21:56,584 --> 00:21:58,649
tournament director turned an assistance or a floor

593
00:21:58,649 --> 00:22:00,713
person, poker manager poker director,

594
00:22:01,444 --> 00:22:02,184
a dealer

595
00:22:04,244 --> 00:22:04,884
as a fool.

596
00:22:07,605 --> 00:22:08,244
And in fact,

597
00:22:09,778 --> 00:22:10,438
Let me

598
00:22:10,816 --> 00:22:11,614
get this for you.

599
00:22:13,210 --> 00:22:14,727
Rule number 2.

600
00:22:16,003 --> 00:22:17,062
Player responsibilities.

601
00:22:19,365 --> 00:22:21,036
I will skip to the most important part,

602
00:22:21,593 --> 00:22:23,605
but players are responsible for

603
00:22:25,094 --> 00:22:26,526
knowing and complying with the rules,

604
00:22:27,019 --> 00:22:28,377
following 1 player to a hand,

605
00:22:30,135 --> 00:22:30,635
practicing

606
00:22:31,014 --> 00:22:31,893
proper etiquette,

607
00:22:32,932 --> 00:22:34,930
informing the house if they see or experience

608
00:22:34,930 --> 00:22:36,951
this discriminatory or offensive

609
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,493
and generally contribute to an orderly event where

610
00:22:40,493 --> 00:22:41,841
all players feel welcome.

611
00:22:42,968 --> 00:22:43,468
So

612
00:22:44,165 --> 00:22:47,616
bo and offensive behavior is patent

613
00:22:48,472 --> 00:22:51,662
and distinctly against the rules of poker and

614
00:22:51,662 --> 00:22:52,141
tournaments.

615
00:22:53,671 --> 00:22:53,990
So,

616
00:22:54,708 --> 00:22:56,941
the fact that this lazy supervisor didn't wanna

617
00:22:56,941 --> 00:22:58,797
do anything about it is rather frustrating,

618
00:23:00,371 --> 00:23:02,307
especially when multiple players are confirming

619
00:23:03,652 --> 00:23:04,845
the offensive behavior.

620
00:23:06,117 --> 00:23:07,945
And this behind a behavior is not allowed,

621
00:23:08,183 --> 00:23:10,012
making faces that somebody is not allowed.

622
00:23:10,662 --> 00:23:13,914
Constantly heck or or pest somebody is not

623
00:23:13,914 --> 00:23:14,232
allowed.

624
00:23:14,946 --> 00:23:15,580
So again,

625
00:23:17,817 --> 00:23:19,487
it's okay to know the rules, and it's

626
00:23:19,487 --> 00:23:20,680
okay to look at them if you don't

627
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:20,839
know.

628
00:23:21,714 --> 00:23:24,338
But just to say there, there no rule

629
00:23:24,338 --> 00:23:26,247
again, somebody making faces are acting boris.

630
00:23:27,931 --> 00:23:29,203
That's just not true.

631
00:23:30,635 --> 00:23:32,622
It is against the rules and I've had

632
00:23:32,622 --> 00:23:34,951
to show people the rail or the door

633
00:23:35,008 --> 00:23:36,780
when they've acted offensive. I

634
00:23:37,568 --> 00:23:39,801
In fact, if anybody has worked with me

635
00:23:39,801 --> 00:23:41,636
in the past or or clay tournaments I've

636
00:23:41,636 --> 00:23:43,013
directed, they know I

637
00:23:43,391 --> 00:23:45,167
have little patience for that kind of

638
00:23:45,783 --> 00:23:46,103
behavior.

639
00:23:47,714 --> 00:23:49,232
I'm there to make sure everybody's having a

640
00:23:49,232 --> 00:23:51,629
good time. It's kind of my responsibility and

641
00:23:51,629 --> 00:23:52,508
what I get paid for.

642
00:23:53,227 --> 00:23:55,714
So, yeah, I've got a a nice hook

643
00:23:55,714 --> 00:23:57,622
when it comes to that, and it's not

644
00:23:57,622 --> 00:23:57,861
slow.

645
00:23:59,530 --> 00:24:01,461
It it kinda reminds me of

646
00:24:03,123 --> 00:24:05,352
the, I guess, controversy a few years ago

647
00:24:05,352 --> 00:24:06,148
with Will Ka,

648
00:24:06,626 --> 00:24:07,126
because,

649
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:08,718
you know, he

650
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:10,390
really wasn't

651
00:24:11,337 --> 00:24:14,200
pushing those limits probably as much as this

652
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:14,938
guy was

653
00:24:15,313 --> 00:24:18,096
making faces, On know. He was really talking

654
00:24:18,096 --> 00:24:18,493
a lot.

655
00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:21,690
And I think the the difference to me

656
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:22,587
was he was

657
00:24:23,201 --> 00:24:25,190
will K was in the hand.

658
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:28,177
And in this 1 when he was saying

659
00:24:28,316 --> 00:24:29,834
razor full or... Was that the guy who

660
00:24:29,834 --> 00:24:31,512
was literally standing up next to his opponent

661
00:24:31,512 --> 00:24:33,164
and and trying to look down and and

662
00:24:33,765 --> 00:24:34,164
no.

663
00:24:34,725 --> 00:24:36,164
No. This 1... That was another 1 Yeah.

664
00:24:36,325 --> 00:24:38,644
That 1... That 1 is is is different.

665
00:24:38,805 --> 00:24:40,884
But this 1 was really just 1... He

666
00:24:40,884 --> 00:24:41,125
was...

667
00:24:42,416 --> 00:24:43,313
Trying to

668
00:24:44,003 --> 00:24:47,257
get the information that he wanted by using

669
00:24:47,257 --> 00:24:49,424
the the table talk. But he was

670
00:24:49,893 --> 00:24:52,068
taking an excessive amount of time

671
00:24:52,446 --> 00:24:52,946
and

672
00:24:53,323 --> 00:24:56,274
Okay. Kept pushing buttons. It it started to

673
00:24:56,274 --> 00:24:58,826
feel more like bullying as time went on.

674
00:24:59,146 --> 00:25:01,730
Right. Again, like I said, the probably

675
00:25:02,185 --> 00:25:04,436
what Wi Did was probably

676
00:25:06,164 --> 00:25:08,312
less of a in fraction than what this

677
00:25:08,312 --> 00:25:11,211
person with... Doing because this person is literally

678
00:25:11,585 --> 00:25:13,015
in the... At least in the first hand,

679
00:25:13,174 --> 00:25:15,636
he wasn't even in the hand and making

680
00:25:15,636 --> 00:25:16,033
comments,

681
00:25:16,589 --> 00:25:18,201
which I think is

682
00:25:18,575 --> 00:25:21,616
is pretty expressly against the rules as well.

683
00:25:22,412 --> 00:25:23,208
So... It is.

684
00:25:23,925 --> 00:25:26,495
It the part that gets me is

685
00:25:27,363 --> 00:25:28,634
I think as a poker player,

686
00:25:29,429 --> 00:25:31,439
you have to be able to ignore

687
00:25:31,892 --> 00:25:34,435
people to some degree as well. Right? It's

688
00:25:34,435 --> 00:25:35,491
it's sure. And

689
00:25:36,198 --> 00:25:36,698
So

690
00:25:37,232 --> 00:25:38,187
in Ken's case,

691
00:25:39,141 --> 00:25:40,971
he started to let this get under his

692
00:25:40,971 --> 00:25:41,767
skin a little bit,

693
00:25:42,721 --> 00:25:44,732
and and I think

694
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:47,610
this other player kinda saw that as an

695
00:25:47,667 --> 00:25:48,167
opportunity

696
00:25:48,939 --> 00:25:49,894
to Right.

697
00:25:50,609 --> 00:25:52,518
Use that to try and and throw him

698
00:25:52,518 --> 00:25:54,108
off. Right? Tilt him a little bit.

699
00:25:54,919 --> 00:25:55,637
Yeah. Very much.

700
00:25:57,074 --> 00:25:57,574
And

701
00:25:58,271 --> 00:26:00,606
to some degree, people are gonna want to

702
00:26:01,463 --> 00:26:03,634
take advantage of those things. But you have

703
00:26:03,634 --> 00:26:04,513
to do it within the rules.

704
00:26:05,232 --> 00:26:05,472
So...

705
00:26:06,351 --> 00:26:09,148
Quite. I I just... I just feel like

706
00:26:09,148 --> 00:26:10,507
in in this case, can...

707
00:26:12,026 --> 00:26:12,765
You've gotta

708
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:14,995
be able to push that aside a little

709
00:26:14,995 --> 00:26:16,830
bit. Were you right in call the floor?

710
00:26:17,149 --> 00:26:17,548
Absolutely?

711
00:26:18,107 --> 00:26:19,544
Absolutely. I think you're writing call on the

712
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:20,661
floor, but at the same time,

713
00:26:21,949 --> 00:26:23,402
you've gotta be able to

714
00:26:24,252 --> 00:26:26,396
play the game without letting stuff like that

715
00:26:26,396 --> 00:26:28,937
get your skin a little bit. So... And

716
00:26:28,937 --> 00:26:30,048
to his credit Ken did.

717
00:26:30,857 --> 00:26:32,446
He collected himself. He took his time.

718
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,226
That is true. He then proceeded to

719
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:36,576
play well.

720
00:26:37,370 --> 00:26:37,870
So

721
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,514
they shook it off.

722
00:26:40,563 --> 00:26:41,760
Yeah. As a matter of fact,

723
00:26:42,557 --> 00:26:43,297
his little

724
00:26:43,913 --> 00:26:46,864
ending note here, he said Villain ended up

725
00:26:46,864 --> 00:26:49,656
busting as the bubble boy, which Karma, you

726
00:26:49,656 --> 00:26:52,716
know, with with no money, which elicit

727
00:26:53,805 --> 00:26:54,941
clapping and cheering

728
00:26:55,394 --> 00:26:56,983
once he left the tournament area.

729
00:26:57,874 --> 00:27:00,665
And Ken went on to win the tournament

730
00:27:00,665 --> 00:27:04,334
to claim his first Ms t spa trophy.

731
00:27:04,732 --> 00:27:05,232
So

732
00:27:06,009 --> 00:27:06,886
congratulations on that, Ken.

733
00:27:07,777 --> 00:27:09,368
For sure. Well, done, okay. Yeah.

734
00:27:10,004 --> 00:27:10,561
So you're right.

735
00:27:11,436 --> 00:27:13,503
Proof right there, he was able to collect

736
00:27:13,503 --> 00:27:14,458
himself and move on.

737
00:27:15,253 --> 00:27:15,753
So

738
00:27:16,704 --> 00:27:18,142
good job for that. But

739
00:27:18,781 --> 00:27:19,261
Absolutely.

740
00:27:20,380 --> 00:27:23,257
Yeah. I I just feel like I... Well,

741
00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:24,536
first of all, I didn't know that it

742
00:27:24,536 --> 00:27:25,036
was

743
00:27:26,068 --> 00:27:28,861
expressly against the rule, like, written in there,

744
00:27:29,420 --> 00:27:31,096
But And black and white. Yeah.

745
00:27:32,133 --> 00:27:32,633
But

746
00:27:33,011 --> 00:27:33,511
just

747
00:27:33,984 --> 00:27:34,484
commonly

748
00:27:34,943 --> 00:27:38,699
people have some kinda etiquette yourself. Like,

749
00:27:39,338 --> 00:27:41,416
have more respect for yourself and for others.

750
00:27:43,109 --> 00:27:45,187
That that should be a general role in

751
00:27:45,187 --> 00:27:45,687
life

752
00:27:46,546 --> 00:27:46,785
anyway.

753
00:27:47,425 --> 00:27:48,863
So that should be.

754
00:27:52,060 --> 00:27:53,030
Alright. Ken,

but

775
00:28:36,655 --> 00:28:39,378
real quick, Brad Jackpot Digital our hand end

776
00:28:39,378 --> 00:28:40,434
of the week sponsor

777
00:28:41,207 --> 00:28:42,423
had a phenomenal

778
00:28:43,832 --> 00:28:45,423
world series of poker. I mean,

779
00:28:46,553 --> 00:28:49,028
the just people out there playing on those

780
00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:51,263
tables all the time. I was say the

781
00:28:51,263 --> 00:28:52,779
last week didn't... Last week, didn't you say

782
00:28:52,779 --> 00:28:54,296
that every time you you try to go

783
00:28:54,296 --> 00:28:55,745
for the first year. Few days you were

784
00:28:55,745 --> 00:28:57,810
there. It was just people not nonstop. You

785
00:28:57,810 --> 00:29:00,614
couldn't even get on. Yeah. It's been

786
00:29:00,988 --> 00:29:04,343
smiles and laughing and few I love to

787
00:29:04,343 --> 00:29:05,322
see it. So

788
00:29:06,338 --> 00:29:08,493
congratulations to Jackpot digital. I mean, they just...

789
00:29:10,489 --> 00:29:12,186
They've they've really kind of

790
00:29:13,055 --> 00:29:14,111
squashed that

791
00:29:14,644 --> 00:29:16,017
misconception that it's

792
00:29:16,470 --> 00:29:16,970
just

793
00:29:17,344 --> 00:29:19,488
a boring electronic tape... Another other electronic table.

794
00:29:19,647 --> 00:29:21,394
Yeah. Or another version of trying to do

795
00:29:21,394 --> 00:29:23,244
it. Yeah. For sure. And I mean, I

796
00:29:23,244 --> 00:29:25,164
think that the fact that there's so there's

797
00:29:25,164 --> 00:29:26,765
so much traffic that you're already seeing in

798
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:27,884
person, you know, there,

799
00:29:28,924 --> 00:29:30,609
along with... How many ever buy ins across.

800
00:29:30,768 --> 00:29:32,036
I mean, you and I talk about it

801
00:29:32,036 --> 00:29:33,701
all the time, you know, with those guys

802
00:29:33,701 --> 00:29:35,311
in, they're adding tables

803
00:29:35,683 --> 00:29:38,000
all across the country. I'll across the world

804
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,228
on put all across the country, literally, every

805
00:29:40,228 --> 00:29:42,774
single few weeks, every single month. So it's,

806
00:29:42,933 --> 00:29:44,763
you know, fast 40 a year from now,

807
00:29:44,922 --> 00:29:46,528
you're out there again for the W. Cp,

808
00:29:46,688 --> 00:29:49,320
it's gonna be, you know, significantly more presence

809
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,472
than that. So, yeah, Congrats to those guys.

810
00:29:51,791 --> 00:29:53,466
Keep up the good work. And if you

811
00:29:53,466 --> 00:29:55,515
wanna send Joe 1 to his house, So

812
00:29:55,954 --> 00:29:56,194
Yes.

813
00:29:56,993 --> 00:29:58,911
I will help him unload it. I promise.

814
00:30:02,427 --> 00:30:03,866
I know I talked about this when I

815
00:30:03,866 --> 00:30:06,137
was out here in December too, but

816
00:30:06,511 --> 00:30:06,988
but

817
00:30:07,623 --> 00:30:09,690
there are some rooms out here that could

818
00:30:09,690 --> 00:30:12,074
use these tables for sure, that don't have...

819
00:30:12,391 --> 00:30:14,163
That that don't have a poker room

820
00:30:14,554 --> 00:30:16,392
but just set these tables out there and

821
00:30:16,392 --> 00:30:18,149
have at least a poker presence,

822
00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:19,987
I think it was phenomenal.

823
00:30:21,185 --> 00:30:21,685
So

824
00:30:22,317 --> 00:30:23,511
our hand of the week this week.

825
00:30:24,227 --> 00:30:26,933
K. It is sent in by Dustin Scar.

826
00:30:27,490 --> 00:30:27,888
Alright.

827
00:30:28,365 --> 00:30:31,070
And I've actually had a chance to catch.

828
00:30:31,564 --> 00:30:33,479
Dustin out here at the tables while where

829
00:30:33,479 --> 00:30:35,255
we're in Vegas. And

830
00:30:36,112 --> 00:30:38,026
I tell you, I watched him play a

831
00:30:38,026 --> 00:30:38,425
little bit,

832
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:41,659
he can hold his own. So

833
00:30:42,919 --> 00:30:44,839
sites. This will be fun to see how

834
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:46,119
differently we play this hand.

835
00:30:46,694 --> 00:30:48,869
He's actually sent in a couple, so

836
00:30:49,327 --> 00:30:50,923
we'll we'll have to keep maybe a running

837
00:30:50,923 --> 00:30:52,838
total to see how how we do.

838
00:30:53,716 --> 00:30:55,961
I like it. Is this 1 way... Wait.

839
00:30:56,121 --> 00:30:58,030
Is this 1 from from last week when

840
00:30:58,030 --> 00:30:59,940
he was po? Yeah. This is from the

841
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:02,884
colossus event number 70 out here ice. Alright.

842
00:31:03,203 --> 00:31:03,441
Cool.

843
00:31:04,174 --> 00:31:04,652
A new 1.

844
00:31:05,610 --> 00:31:08,084
So in the colossus, there's only 1 re

845
00:31:08,084 --> 00:31:08,584
buy

846
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:09,441
allowed,

847
00:31:10,239 --> 00:31:11,755
you know, they have different day 1.

848
00:31:12,569 --> 00:31:15,126
So you... You're allowed 1 re buy. K.

849
00:31:15,606 --> 00:31:16,884
This is our first buy in.

850
00:31:17,923 --> 00:31:20,241
Okay. But Dustin says he's prepared to re

851
00:31:20,241 --> 00:31:22,728
buy if he gets knocked out. Cuff. That's

852
00:31:22,728 --> 00:31:25,272
good and good to know. I'm at my

853
00:31:25,272 --> 00:31:27,815
starting table, which has an international flare.

854
00:31:29,485 --> 00:31:30,598
Japan and England.

855
00:31:31,568 --> 00:31:33,743
1 local Las Vegas grinder

856
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:38,289
and other players whose skill levels range from

857
00:31:38,507 --> 00:31:39,007
beginner

858
00:31:39,385 --> 00:31:40,501
to some experience.

859
00:31:41,393 --> 00:31:43,957
So kinda like this hand of the week

860
00:31:44,013 --> 00:31:44,490
segment.

861
00:31:46,476 --> 00:31:49,176
Dustin this is perfect. I mean, I'm a

862
00:31:49,176 --> 00:31:51,415
little past them beginner, but some days, I

863
00:31:51,415 --> 00:31:52,845
don't feel that way. Alright. What's...

864
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:54,751
Man I'm gonna tell you what that's a

865
00:31:54,751 --> 00:31:55,728
mixed bag and

866
00:31:56,340 --> 00:31:56,817
date.

867
00:31:57,294 --> 00:31:57,532
Yeah.

868
00:31:58,104 --> 00:32:00,733
He said he got this information by making

869
00:32:00,733 --> 00:32:01,551
some small

870
00:32:01,928 --> 00:32:04,318
small talk and cracking some jokes and trying

871
00:32:04,318 --> 00:32:06,071
to get a feel for his opponent. So

872
00:32:06,071 --> 00:32:08,792
that... I think it's cool. That's, you know,

873
00:32:08,951 --> 00:32:10,065
that's 1 of the things I try to

874
00:32:10,065 --> 00:32:12,133
do is is get a feel for who

875
00:32:12,212 --> 00:32:14,042
I'm playing against when I get to the

876
00:32:14,042 --> 00:32:15,735
table. So for

877
00:32:16,523 --> 00:32:18,619
Ad dustin says my image is solid

878
00:32:19,315 --> 00:32:22,027
as I have only been playing solid hands

879
00:32:22,027 --> 00:32:24,818
in position and have shown down strong winning

880
00:32:24,818 --> 00:32:26,015
hands to the table.

881
00:32:27,707 --> 00:32:31,083
I currently have a stack slightly above starting

882
00:32:31,702 --> 00:32:32,740
at 50 k.

883
00:32:33,474 --> 00:32:34,914
Where you start with 40 k.

884
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:36,194
K.

885
00:32:36,835 --> 00:32:37,954
It's 40 minute levels,

886
00:32:38,514 --> 00:32:39,894
we're in level 2

887
00:32:40,274 --> 00:32:41,634
with 10 minutes left.

888
00:32:42,445 --> 00:32:44,688
We are currently playing 8 handed

889
00:32:45,456 --> 00:32:46,486
out of 10 seats.

890
00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:49,046
And if the opportunity arises

891
00:32:49,354 --> 00:32:51,505
I plan to take a higher variance play

892
00:32:51,505 --> 00:32:54,554
and double my stack in the earlier levels

893
00:32:54,771 --> 00:32:55,727
or re buy.

894
00:32:56,539 --> 00:32:58,371
So there we go. We got some background

895
00:32:58,371 --> 00:32:58,610
there.

896
00:32:59,326 --> 00:32:59,486
Alright.

897
00:33:01,158 --> 00:33:04,185
Our blinds are 204 hundred with a 400

898
00:33:04,185 --> 00:33:05,061
big blind anti.

899
00:33:05,795 --> 00:33:08,355
And with our 50 k, we've got a

900
00:33:08,355 --> 00:33:09,875
hundred and 25 big blinds,

901
00:33:10,434 --> 00:33:11,394
we're in the cutoff,

902
00:33:12,434 --> 00:33:13,954
and an early player limp.

903
00:33:16,284 --> 00:33:19,172
It folds to us with the As Clubs

904
00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:21,300
king of Spade.

905
00:33:22,096 --> 00:33:23,233
As Clubs

906
00:33:23,704 --> 00:33:24,684
king is Spade

907
00:33:25,223 --> 00:33:26,981
and it's limp all the way around to

908
00:33:26,981 --> 00:33:27,221
us.

909
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:30,177
Well, I like Ace king. I don't know

910
00:33:30,177 --> 00:33:32,015
about the rest of, you know, you guys

911
00:33:32,015 --> 00:33:34,265
out there, but I tend to like that.

912
00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:36,179
So,

913
00:33:37,614 --> 00:33:38,332
going with,

914
00:33:38,970 --> 00:33:40,406
and and, you know, off cam a little

915
00:33:40,406 --> 00:33:42,001
behind the scenes, we were actually just talking

916
00:33:42,001 --> 00:33:42,320
about this.

917
00:33:43,134 --> 00:33:44,494
You know, correct me if I'm wrong joe.

918
00:33:44,654 --> 00:33:45,375
But, you know,

919
00:33:46,654 --> 00:33:48,494
seeing some of the guys playing out there

920
00:33:48,494 --> 00:33:50,255
as far as, you know, what's your minimum

921
00:33:50,255 --> 00:33:51,474
rate raises,

922
00:33:52,027 --> 00:33:53,693
you know, every 1 of us has a

923
00:33:54,090 --> 00:33:55,835
you know, even Dustin was talking about what

924
00:33:55,835 --> 00:33:57,660
his image was. You know, we all have

925
00:33:57,660 --> 00:33:59,985
an image. I think when I'm feeling

926
00:34:00,453 --> 00:34:02,441
good about hands. I was definitely feeling good

927
00:34:02,441 --> 00:34:04,031
about the hand last week. I I went

928
00:34:04,031 --> 00:34:06,178
nuts start with. But that being said, I

929
00:34:06,178 --> 00:34:08,007
mean, I think my normal 1 when I'm

930
00:34:08,007 --> 00:34:09,836
playing it's closer to 3.

931
00:34:11,283 --> 00:34:13,750
That being said, very winded response to,

932
00:34:14,465 --> 00:34:15,761
I'm probably gonna go

933
00:34:16,375 --> 00:34:17,012
a thousand.

934
00:34:18,463 --> 00:34:18,703
Okay.

935
00:34:19,502 --> 00:34:21,360
I think that's probably a little

936
00:34:21,739 --> 00:34:24,375
on the smaller side. Smaller side.

937
00:34:24,949 --> 00:34:26,549
I. Again. You gotta take this with a

938
00:34:26,549 --> 00:34:28,230
grain all too. I feel like when we

939
00:34:28,230 --> 00:34:28,869
play tournaments,

940
00:34:29,429 --> 00:34:30,549
especially big hanging tournaments.

941
00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:33,109
I don't necessarily play them well. So this

942
00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:34,563
will be a fun 1 to do. Yeah.

943
00:34:34,723 --> 00:34:35,202
Yeah. Yeah.

944
00:34:36,318 --> 00:34:39,109
I... We... You're right. We... Before we jumped

945
00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:41,603
on here, we were just talking about our

946
00:34:42,299 --> 00:34:43,416
starting raises. Right?

947
00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:46,067
And it used to be that I would

948
00:34:46,067 --> 00:34:48,065
do 2 and a half times the big

949
00:34:48,065 --> 00:34:51,021
blind to bet... That was my standard. Yeah.

950
00:34:52,635 --> 00:34:53,755
I've started to...

951
00:34:54,474 --> 00:34:56,875
As I was thinking about my own game,

952
00:34:57,675 --> 00:34:59,434
then I've started to think about it from

953
00:34:59,434 --> 00:35:00,715
a perspective of doing...

954
00:35:01,528 --> 00:35:04,712
Higher bets at the beginning early stages of

955
00:35:04,712 --> 00:35:05,190
a tournament,

956
00:35:05,985 --> 00:35:08,635
and then bringing it back as the tournament

957
00:35:08,772 --> 00:35:10,217
progresses. So... Yeah.

958
00:35:11,408 --> 00:35:13,870
We're in the second level right now. So

959
00:35:13,949 --> 00:35:17,070
I'm probably gonna start with A3X

960
00:35:17,364 --> 00:35:18,158
rays. Right?

961
00:35:18,889 --> 00:35:21,207
Plus 1 big blind for the limp.

962
00:35:22,326 --> 00:35:22,826
So

963
00:35:23,205 --> 00:35:25,682
that would put me right there at 1600.

964
00:35:26,242 --> 00:35:28,160
Okay. I'm following you now. Alright.

965
00:35:29,209 --> 00:35:31,193
That works for me. What's what's our friend,

966
00:35:31,273 --> 00:35:31,828
dustin do?

967
00:35:32,622 --> 00:35:33,122
Dustin

968
00:35:35,321 --> 00:35:36,853
bet 16. Hey.

969
00:35:38,431 --> 00:35:40,336
Listen. If this continues back to back weeks,

970
00:35:40,574 --> 00:35:42,002
we're gonna have to worry about how big

971
00:35:42,002 --> 00:35:42,557
get is.

972
00:35:45,670 --> 00:35:48,932
Alright. So 1600 it is. Yeah. Dustin says,

973
00:35:50,286 --> 00:35:52,434
due to the limp, I sized up and

974
00:35:52,434 --> 00:35:53,628
made it 1600.

975
00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:57,577
The villain on the button, a Japanese player

976
00:35:57,796 --> 00:36:00,513
who is here for an extended time to

977
00:36:00,513 --> 00:36:02,590
play in world series of poker events.

978
00:36:03,724 --> 00:36:04,944
He appears to be

979
00:36:06,045 --> 00:36:07,184
poker accomplished

980
00:36:08,764 --> 00:36:10,385
and has been very active

981
00:36:10,844 --> 00:36:12,764
and is the chip leader at our table,

982
00:36:13,259 --> 00:36:14,613
with 65 k,

983
00:36:15,410 --> 00:36:18,437
which has me covered around 15 k. He

984
00:36:18,437 --> 00:36:20,827
3 bets us to 4600,

985
00:36:21,465 --> 00:36:22,443
and the blinds

986
00:36:22,992 --> 00:36:23,389
fold,

987
00:36:25,531 --> 00:36:26,665
the limp folds

988
00:36:27,593 --> 00:36:29,497
and it's back to me. Interesting.

989
00:36:30,148 --> 00:36:31,102
Well, I'm calling.

990
00:36:31,579 --> 00:36:32,454
I like Ace King.

991
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:36,590
Yeah. You're you're you're...

992
00:36:37,876 --> 00:36:38,908
You have that look.

993
00:36:39,623 --> 00:36:41,449
And that look folks for the ones not

994
00:36:41,449 --> 00:36:42,719
listening or not watching.

995
00:36:43,275 --> 00:36:44,251
The look is

996
00:36:44,879 --> 00:36:47,436
I'm feeling frog, and I'm going to do

997
00:36:47,436 --> 00:36:47,936
something

998
00:36:49,833 --> 00:36:51,510
over the top. I think that's what you're

999
00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:53,922
thinking right now. Yeah. Yeah that you are.

1000
00:36:54,083 --> 00:36:56,800
Yes. Spot on. Yep. There's there's 2 schools

1001
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,958
of thought here. Right? So there are some

1002
00:36:58,958 --> 00:36:59,677
people that think,

1003
00:37:00,396 --> 00:37:01,536
well, Ace king

1004
00:37:02,329 --> 00:37:04,010
still just ace king. It's no pair,

1005
00:37:05,769 --> 00:37:07,469
but let me tell you. It's

1006
00:37:07,849 --> 00:37:11,051
the nut no pair. It's the best no

1007
00:37:11,051 --> 00:37:12,003
pair you can have.

1008
00:37:12,638 --> 00:37:15,177
It is. It is literally the best.

1009
00:37:15,733 --> 00:37:16,447
No pay... Well,

1010
00:37:17,097 --> 00:37:19,557
I guess suited would be the only way

1011
00:37:19,557 --> 00:37:20,431
better, there.

1012
00:37:21,145 --> 00:37:22,653
But yeah, You're right.

1013
00:37:23,447 --> 00:37:25,034
I think the other thing too is that

1014
00:37:25,193 --> 00:37:27,039
I think you know, this is early on

1015
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:28,632
enough in a tournament and correct me if

1016
00:37:28,712 --> 00:37:29,610
I'm wrong, but

1017
00:37:30,465 --> 00:37:31,739
I I guess you wanna set a tone

1018
00:37:31,739 --> 00:37:33,811
too and why you're holding Ace king as

1019
00:37:33,811 --> 00:37:35,085
well. I think that's important.

1020
00:37:36,219 --> 00:37:36,699
For sure.

1021
00:37:38,059 --> 00:37:39,820
So where are you going with this? Yeah.

1022
00:37:40,059 --> 00:37:42,160
I definitely wanna put some aggression back

1023
00:37:42,713 --> 00:37:43,213
on

1024
00:37:43,909 --> 00:37:46,299
the chip leader here, let him know that

1025
00:37:46,697 --> 00:37:47,574
we mean business.

1026
00:37:48,131 --> 00:37:49,780
It's gonna be a big portion of our

1027
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:51,980
stack already. But... I was gonna say, because

1028
00:37:51,980 --> 00:37:54,059
what it's 4... What, 4600

1029
00:37:54,059 --> 00:37:55,099
to us. Is that what you said?

1030
00:37:55,820 --> 00:37:56,539
4600.

1031
00:37:56,699 --> 00:37:56,860
Yeah.

1032
00:37:57,659 --> 00:37:58,159
So

1033
00:37:59,192 --> 00:38:00,091
All men

1034
00:38:00,708 --> 00:38:01,208
phrases

1035
00:38:01,745 --> 00:38:02,703
were in for 10.

1036
00:38:03,820 --> 00:38:05,416
Already... I'm going 15.

1037
00:38:07,585 --> 00:38:09,740
Joey just love things skin right now.

1038
00:38:11,016 --> 00:38:12,533
I I do like that. I I get

1039
00:38:12,533 --> 00:38:13,945
why you're doing it. I think most of

1040
00:38:14,144 --> 00:38:15,817
most of our listeners what's in Foot feel

1041
00:38:15,817 --> 00:38:17,171
the same. I think that's a a good

1042
00:38:17,171 --> 00:38:18,764
call. It's a Guts 1. Don't get me

1043
00:38:18,764 --> 00:38:21,050
wrong. It takes it takes some guts, but

1044
00:38:21,170 --> 00:38:22,690
You know, I... It's a smart play. I

1045
00:38:22,690 --> 00:38:24,690
get it. We can rep aces and kings

1046
00:38:24,690 --> 00:38:27,170
here too. So... Yeah. Absolutely. You can.

1047
00:38:27,809 --> 00:38:29,329
Yeah. So that's what I'm doing. 15 to

1048
00:38:29,329 --> 00:38:30,802
go. K. And

1049
00:38:31,655 --> 00:38:34,443
Dustin says, since the player has been very

1050
00:38:34,443 --> 00:38:35,876
active and has position,

1051
00:38:36,832 --> 00:38:37,947
I elect a 4 bet.

1052
00:38:38,838 --> 00:38:39,632
Versus calling.

1053
00:38:41,619 --> 00:38:45,140
I make it on the smaller side, 10500

1054
00:38:45,435 --> 00:38:47,795
as this is 20 percent of my stack

1055
00:38:48,153 --> 00:38:49,669
and if he 5 bet jams,

1056
00:38:50,706 --> 00:38:52,221
I want options to get away.

1057
00:38:53,098 --> 00:38:55,672
The villain thinks for about 20 seconds

1058
00:38:56,369 --> 00:38:57,246
and makes the call.

1059
00:38:58,059 --> 00:38:59,494
And let me just say... It doesn't makes

1060
00:38:59,494 --> 00:39:01,248
a good point because if we if we

1061
00:39:01,248 --> 00:39:02,923
go a little smaller than I did,

1062
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,113
then we do have the option to get

1063
00:39:06,113 --> 00:39:08,858
away a little bit. But I just

1064
00:39:09,630 --> 00:39:11,537
don't know that I wanna be getting away

1065
00:39:11,537 --> 00:39:11,856
from it.

1066
00:39:12,889 --> 00:39:14,479
So... Fair? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1067
00:39:16,248 --> 00:39:18,485
So Dustin put some thoughts in here He

1068
00:39:18,485 --> 00:39:20,962
says, this might be the opportunity to play

1069
00:39:20,962 --> 00:39:23,534
a big pot and double. But I'm also

1070
00:39:23,534 --> 00:39:25,692
willing to pump the brakes if needed and

1071
00:39:25,692 --> 00:39:26,011
fold.

1072
00:39:26,570 --> 00:39:28,509
I have ace king off suit

1073
00:39:29,128 --> 00:39:31,445
and remove combos of aces and kings,

1074
00:39:32,577 --> 00:39:35,764
Billings range could be wide with all pocket

1075
00:39:35,764 --> 00:39:39,588
pairs in play, fives and up, suited connectors

1076
00:39:39,588 --> 00:39:41,021
and even some face cards.

1077
00:39:42,072 --> 00:39:44,621
This was the first 4 at our table,

1078
00:39:45,259 --> 00:39:48,127
and I viewed my 4 as extremely strong,

1079
00:39:48,938 --> 00:39:49,757
which polarized

1080
00:39:50,295 --> 00:39:51,491
my range to the villain.

1081
00:39:52,368 --> 00:39:55,878
I also considered making it slightly bigger to

1082
00:39:55,878 --> 00:39:56,994
12500

1083
00:39:56,994 --> 00:39:58,531
to or 13000

1084
00:39:58,844 --> 00:40:00,594
which I still even went bigger than that.

1085
00:40:00,753 --> 00:40:02,264
Yeah. You weren't even bigger than that 1,

1086
00:40:02,741 --> 00:40:04,889
but elected for the smaller sizing for my

1087
00:40:04,889 --> 00:40:05,207
4,

1088
00:40:06,653 --> 00:40:08,879
He says I truly believed if this player

1089
00:40:08,879 --> 00:40:11,661
had Aces or kings and maybe even queens

1090
00:40:11,661 --> 00:40:12,933
that he would 5 bet us.

1091
00:40:13,982 --> 00:40:16,371
And wanna get all the chips in pre

1092
00:40:16,371 --> 00:40:19,237
fly. While I don't like risking over a

1093
00:40:19,237 --> 00:40:21,068
hundred big blinds with Ace King,

1094
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,373
I'm willing to gamble early to build a

1095
00:40:24,511 --> 00:40:27,382
big stack in this specific tournament.

1096
00:40:27,941 --> 00:40:28,180
Yeah.

1097
00:40:29,057 --> 00:40:29,557
So

1098
00:40:30,414 --> 00:40:31,312
there's now

1099
00:40:32,184 --> 00:40:34,442
22400

1100
00:40:34,820 --> 00:40:35,460
in the pot.

1101
00:40:36,099 --> 00:40:38,516
And the flop is the queen of Spade

1102
00:40:39,709 --> 00:40:40,427
8 of hearts,

1103
00:40:41,784 --> 00:40:42,822
5 of clubs.

1104
00:40:45,456 --> 00:40:46,434
So it's rainbow

1105
00:40:47,291 --> 00:40:47,531
flop.

1106
00:40:48,503 --> 00:40:49,777
I, I don't love that.

1107
00:40:50,652 --> 00:40:51,050
Yeah.

1108
00:40:51,687 --> 00:40:53,757
This is why people say what's just ace

1109
00:40:53,757 --> 00:40:54,076
king.

1110
00:40:54,713 --> 00:40:55,827
Yeah. You don't have any paired.

1111
00:40:56,479 --> 00:40:58,647
But again, it you're probably

1112
00:40:59,815 --> 00:41:01,802
dustin what it dustin said he's taking Aces

1113
00:41:01,802 --> 00:41:02,755
ages and kings out.

1114
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:05,628
They could have queens. Yes,

1115
00:41:06,183 --> 00:41:06,976
you know, they...

1116
00:41:07,929 --> 00:41:09,778
From what it sounds like, the the

1117
00:41:10,547 --> 00:41:13,187
the villains play some hand, so you're not

1118
00:41:13,187 --> 00:41:15,581
making them... Can't make them out on anything

1119
00:41:15,581 --> 00:41:17,576
just yet. Mean, you're... You could... He I

1120
00:41:17,576 --> 00:41:18,534
mean, he's got a range.

1121
00:41:19,251 --> 00:41:19,751
So

1122
00:41:20,543 --> 00:41:22,774
However, we did not pair our Aces or

1123
00:41:22,774 --> 00:41:24,367
kings, so that's unfortunate.

1124
00:41:24,925 --> 00:41:25,084
Right.

1125
00:41:27,648 --> 00:41:29,957
This is the point where if you're willing

1126
00:41:29,957 --> 00:41:32,265
to slow down and let go of the

1127
00:41:32,265 --> 00:41:34,176
hand, you can check and let it go

1128
00:41:34,176 --> 00:41:34,972
for sure. Yeah.

1129
00:41:36,021 --> 00:41:38,170
I still wanna try to represent those big

1130
00:41:38,170 --> 00:41:38,487
pairs,

1131
00:41:39,204 --> 00:41:41,829
even Ace queen at this point. Fair. I

1132
00:41:41,829 --> 00:41:42,386
give you that.

1133
00:41:43,117 --> 00:41:45,026
So I'm gonna continue to put pressure on

1134
00:41:45,026 --> 00:41:45,924
here in bet

1135
00:41:46,458 --> 00:41:46,935
12 k.

1136
00:41:47,890 --> 00:41:50,375
I'm full. I'm checking. You're... Checking there. I

1137
00:41:50,454 --> 00:41:52,295
I... Did you hear the subconscious come out

1138
00:41:52,295 --> 00:41:53,974
there? I... I started with. Yeah. I know

1139
00:41:53,974 --> 00:41:54,855
you started with fault.

1140
00:41:57,255 --> 00:41:58,215
I'm I'm checking.

1141
00:41:58,710 --> 00:42:00,710
Yeah. If the billing calls my 12 k

1142
00:42:00,710 --> 00:42:02,949
that we can reevaluate, but I'm I'm putting

1143
00:42:02,949 --> 00:42:03,429
it in there.

1144
00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:07,670
Dustin is in your camp, P elect to

1145
00:42:07,670 --> 00:42:07,909
check.

1146
00:42:08,644 --> 00:42:10,984
Come. And Villain checks back

1147
00:42:11,284 --> 00:42:12,164
fairly quickly.

1148
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:14,724
Which to me,

1149
00:42:15,525 --> 00:42:16,885
a quick check back.

1150
00:42:18,815 --> 00:42:21,282
To me that screams either a draw or

1151
00:42:21,282 --> 00:42:24,067
small to medium pair. So Yeah. They're and

1152
00:42:24,067 --> 00:42:24,784
they're whole nines.

1153
00:42:25,833 --> 00:42:28,938
Yeah. My immediate all. You know? Right. My

1154
00:42:28,938 --> 00:42:31,088
immediate thought is can we get somebody to...

1155
00:42:31,485 --> 00:42:33,578
Can we get this particular player to

1156
00:42:34,048 --> 00:42:35,960
fold a small to medium pair.

1157
00:42:36,836 --> 00:42:37,713
If so,

1158
00:42:38,669 --> 00:42:40,421
we continue to put the pressure on if

1159
00:42:40,421 --> 00:42:42,014
not, we reel it back in a little.

1160
00:42:42,333 --> 00:42:42,572
Yeah.

1161
00:42:43,780 --> 00:42:47,035
Dust says taking away Aces and kings from

1162
00:42:47,035 --> 00:42:49,972
villain I'm behind ice queen king queen, pocket

1163
00:42:49,972 --> 00:42:51,322
eights, and pocket fives.

1164
00:42:52,767 --> 00:42:54,698
Don't believe they hit a set of Queens

1165
00:42:54,913 --> 00:42:56,606
as he would have bet that hand

1166
00:42:57,934 --> 00:42:59,921
bet that hand as my pre fought play

1167
00:42:59,921 --> 00:43:01,273
looks like Aces and kings.

1168
00:43:02,004 --> 00:43:04,078
And ace king or even Queens.

1169
00:43:05,354 --> 00:43:07,587
Villain could have ace queen and he is

1170
00:43:07,587 --> 00:43:10,219
checking back for pot control and considering that

1171
00:43:10,299 --> 00:43:11,655
I might have Aces or kings.

1172
00:43:13,019 --> 00:43:13,519
So

1173
00:43:14,447 --> 00:43:14,923
there you go.

1174
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:17,701
So we went check check.

1175
00:43:18,732 --> 00:43:20,025
The turn is

1176
00:43:20,733 --> 00:43:22,009
the queen of hearts.

1177
00:43:24,561 --> 00:43:27,034
Now the board is the queen spade, 8

1178
00:43:27,034 --> 00:43:27,592
of hearts,

1179
00:43:28,709 --> 00:43:29,847
5 of clubs

1180
00:43:30,958 --> 00:43:31,675
queen of hearts.

1181
00:43:32,952 --> 00:43:33,989
Oh, man.

1182
00:43:35,745 --> 00:43:36,862
So what do you think about that?

1183
00:43:38,951 --> 00:43:40,945
Yeah. I mean, it's... Again, I I would

1184
00:43:40,945 --> 00:43:42,779
have loved to see Ace king come out.

1185
00:43:44,055 --> 00:43:46,527
I think... And it's a little bit different

1186
00:43:46,527 --> 00:43:47,245
than the first.

1187
00:43:47,976 --> 00:43:48,294
Check.

1188
00:43:48,931 --> 00:43:50,601
But I think I wanna check to him

1189
00:43:50,601 --> 00:43:52,669
again to kinda see where he's at. I

1190
00:43:52,828 --> 00:43:53,965
I know where we are

1191
00:43:55,155 --> 00:43:57,335
I think we're gonna learn something from

1192
00:43:57,954 --> 00:43:59,954
what... How he responds to a check.

1193
00:44:00,835 --> 00:44:01,735
To... 100.

1194
00:44:02,034 --> 00:44:02,994
Yeah. Okay. Alright.

1195
00:44:03,967 --> 00:44:06,142
So I'm checking there and then

1196
00:44:07,078 --> 00:44:08,434
wait to see what he's got? Because, I

1197
00:44:08,434 --> 00:44:10,268
mean, if he comes when you're down the

1198
00:44:10,268 --> 00:44:11,864
around a second. So what's our friend, dustin,

1199
00:44:12,182 --> 00:44:13,195
you said you check

1200
00:44:14,108 --> 00:44:16,015
I... Yeah. I think it's it's it's a

1201
00:44:16,015 --> 00:44:16,889
tough card. Right?

1202
00:44:17,525 --> 00:44:18,025
So

1203
00:44:19,511 --> 00:44:21,021
it makes it less likely that we can

1204
00:44:21,021 --> 00:44:21,577
have A queen.

1205
00:44:22,228 --> 00:44:23,683
Still yeah. But

1206
00:44:24,297 --> 00:44:26,765
we're more wrapping aces and kings now rather

1207
00:44:26,765 --> 00:44:27,265
than,

1208
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,551
or other smaller pairs.

1209
00:44:30,202 --> 00:44:32,345
But, yeah. I think you're right. We learn

1210
00:44:32,345 --> 00:44:33,004
a lot

1211
00:44:33,536 --> 00:44:34,036
from

1212
00:44:35,123 --> 00:44:37,265
how the villain reacts to us checking.

1213
00:44:37,820 --> 00:44:38,059
Yeah.

1214
00:44:38,949 --> 00:44:41,027
So let's see what the villain does.

1215
00:44:42,784 --> 00:44:45,900
Dustin says, I take about 20 seconds and

1216
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:46,140
check.

1217
00:44:47,111 --> 00:44:49,994
The villain seems slightly unsure

1218
00:44:50,369 --> 00:44:52,855
and bets out very small

1219
00:44:53,467 --> 00:44:54,818
after 30 seconds,

1220
00:44:55,708 --> 00:44:56,208
for

1221
00:44:56,741 --> 00:44:57,718
7000

1222
00:44:58,093 --> 00:44:59,922
into a 22400

1223
00:44:59,922 --> 00:45:00,161
pot.

1224
00:45:00,956 --> 00:45:04,614
Seems unsure and bet 7000 in a 22.

1225
00:45:06,457 --> 00:45:07,807
So this about a quarter.

1226
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,248
I... I'm I'm still right where

1227
00:45:11,622 --> 00:45:13,927
you and I were to start with in...

1228
00:45:15,140 --> 00:45:16,420
I mean, with dustin instead of to the

1229
00:45:16,420 --> 00:45:17,400
range wise, but

1230
00:45:18,099 --> 00:45:18,980
a smaller pair,

1231
00:45:20,099 --> 00:45:20,660
a draw,

1232
00:45:22,434 --> 00:45:25,787
he's made us on... It realistically, he still

1233
00:45:25,787 --> 00:45:28,262
may make us on Ice queen, but definitely

1234
00:45:28,341 --> 00:45:30,177
Aces is definitely possibly kings.

1235
00:45:32,820 --> 00:45:35,363
I I think you you at least call.

1236
00:45:36,793 --> 00:45:38,859
Yeah. I don't think we're beat by any

1237
00:45:38,859 --> 00:45:39,177
means.

1238
00:45:40,544 --> 00:45:41,980
I I think I mean, I think we're

1239
00:45:41,980 --> 00:45:44,374
beat currently. I think... I mean, we we

1240
00:45:44,374 --> 00:45:46,050
don't have a parent Okay. Let they do.

1241
00:45:46,529 --> 00:45:47,806
Yeah. Okay. Let me rephrase.

1242
00:45:49,176 --> 00:45:51,566
We may be beat, but I think we're

1243
00:45:51,566 --> 00:45:54,274
in control if we want to be. Yes.

1244
00:45:54,592 --> 00:45:56,902
Which which when it comes down to it

1245
00:45:56,902 --> 00:45:57,402
is

1246
00:45:58,113 --> 00:45:59,230
half to battle as well. I mean, you

1247
00:45:59,230 --> 00:46:00,825
gotta have the cards somewhere sooner or later,

1248
00:46:00,984 --> 00:46:02,898
but you don't always have to have the

1249
00:46:02,898 --> 00:46:05,371
cards. So that being said, I I think

1250
00:46:05,371 --> 00:46:06,248
you at least call,

1251
00:46:07,046 --> 00:46:07,579
I think

1252
00:46:08,338 --> 00:46:10,971
Realistically, if you're gonna keep representing a hands,

1253
00:46:11,290 --> 00:46:12,487
like 1 has taught me,

1254
00:46:13,525 --> 00:46:14,961
you're going bigger.

1255
00:46:16,572 --> 00:46:17,929
I'm putting an all in baby.

1256
00:46:24,409 --> 00:46:26,409
If the look, if if if Our read

1257
00:46:26,409 --> 00:46:28,809
is right, and he truly seems unsure.

1258
00:46:29,529 --> 00:46:31,769
If we go for it right here, we

1259
00:46:31,769 --> 00:46:33,289
really represent a queen.

1260
00:46:34,976 --> 00:46:35,476
Then

1261
00:46:36,009 --> 00:46:37,121
I think we get him to fold.

1262
00:46:37,836 --> 00:46:39,584
Yeah. And I think you take down a

1263
00:46:39,584 --> 00:46:41,809
very nice pod to continue to into this

1264
00:46:41,809 --> 00:46:42,047
gate.

1265
00:46:43,014 --> 00:46:43,332
Tournament.

1266
00:46:46,267 --> 00:46:47,934
Yeah. Yeah. I'm check raising all in.

1267
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,393
Dustin says,

1268
00:46:51,203 --> 00:46:52,739
I consider check raising

1269
00:46:53,754 --> 00:46:55,131
an electric call

1270
00:46:55,827 --> 00:46:56,327
who

1271
00:46:56,942 --> 00:46:58,536
with 36400

1272
00:46:58,536 --> 00:47:01,604
in the pot, and I have 32500

1273
00:47:01,663 --> 00:47:01,982
behind.

1274
00:47:04,376 --> 00:47:06,610
Villains range is based around middle pairs,

1275
00:47:07,342 --> 00:47:09,016
nine's, tens, jacks,

1276
00:47:09,893 --> 00:47:11,350
and Villain doesn't

1277
00:47:12,205 --> 00:47:14,995
not have really full house or trip queens.

1278
00:47:16,047 --> 00:47:18,142
So Villains bet of 7000

1279
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,433
was more probably of a probing bet.

1280
00:47:21,391 --> 00:47:23,863
My line would call with Aces,

1281
00:47:24,342 --> 00:47:24,842
kings

1282
00:47:26,268 --> 00:47:27,065
or ace queen.

1283
00:47:28,258 --> 00:47:30,748
I think you've you represent an ace queen

1284
00:47:30,885 --> 00:47:31,385
specifically,

1285
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,556
you're raising.

1286
00:47:33,369 --> 00:47:36,246
I think if you're representing Aces and kings...

1287
00:47:40,161 --> 00:47:41,520
He's not wrong.

1288
00:47:42,333 --> 00:47:43,048
I could see it.

1289
00:47:44,558 --> 00:47:46,545
Yeah. I think he actually made the case

1290
00:47:46,545 --> 00:47:48,929
for check raising. There rather than calling.

1291
00:47:49,980 --> 00:47:52,139
It seems more likely to me to check

1292
00:47:52,139 --> 00:47:53,920
raise a screen here because

1293
00:47:55,179 --> 00:47:56,539
if you have Ice queen, the turn is

1294
00:47:56,539 --> 00:47:58,320
where you make your money. So

1295
00:47:58,874 --> 00:48:00,073
I think that's where we have to get

1296
00:48:00,073 --> 00:48:00,313
it in.

1297
00:48:01,591 --> 00:48:02,091
But

1298
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:03,189
he just calls.

1299
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:07,585
And the river comes out the 2 of...

1300
00:48:07,918 --> 00:48:08,235
Clubs.

1301
00:48:08,950 --> 00:48:09,450
Mh

1302
00:48:09,982 --> 00:48:10,482
w.

1303
00:48:11,887 --> 00:48:14,506
So queen spade, 8 of hearts,

1304
00:48:15,141 --> 00:48:15,935
5 of clubs,

1305
00:48:16,982 --> 00:48:17,697
queen of hearts,

1306
00:48:18,888 --> 00:48:19,602
2 of clubs.

1307
00:48:20,396 --> 00:48:20,635
Yeah.

1308
00:48:21,984 --> 00:48:23,096
What do what do you do with that?

1309
00:48:23,493 --> 00:48:25,240
Okay. Well, you all of your chips are

1310
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:26,686
already in. Literally.

1311
00:48:27,561 --> 00:48:29,471
There's... They... They're... They've been in...

1312
00:48:30,426 --> 00:48:32,654
As soon as that other queen showed shoulder

1313
00:48:32,654 --> 00:48:33,052
her face.

1314
00:48:34,339 --> 00:48:35,213
Joe with shoving chips.

1315
00:48:36,405 --> 00:48:38,392
So... But, however, if we're playing Dustin hand,

1316
00:48:38,631 --> 00:48:40,697
and you just called there, Are you shoving

1317
00:48:40,697 --> 00:48:40,936
here?

1318
00:48:43,178 --> 00:48:44,928
Are you tech shoving?

1319
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,712
I don't wanna check shove.

1320
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,420
And

1321
00:48:50,909 --> 00:48:52,978
I don't think we win this hand if

1322
00:48:52,978 --> 00:48:55,706
we just check. So I think the only

1323
00:48:55,842 --> 00:48:56,876
option is to put.

1324
00:48:57,607 --> 00:48:59,593
All of our chips in. And I hope

1325
00:48:59,593 --> 00:49:00,228
that they fold.

1326
00:49:00,943 --> 00:49:01,182
Yeah.

1327
00:49:02,611 --> 00:49:04,518
But I think that we would have been

1328
00:49:04,518 --> 00:49:06,901
better served putting him in a street earlier.

1329
00:49:07,550 --> 00:49:10,087
I think you're right. I yeah. III do.

1330
00:49:10,324 --> 00:49:11,117
I think you're right too.

1331
00:49:13,415 --> 00:49:15,177
Not easy to do, but think you're right.

1332
00:49:15,416 --> 00:49:17,009
What's what's Dustin in up?

1333
00:49:17,806 --> 00:49:20,674
Dustin says I take about 20 seconds and

1334
00:49:20,674 --> 00:49:23,973
go all in. I for 32500

1335
00:49:24,030 --> 00:49:25,779
into a 36400

1336
00:49:25,779 --> 00:49:26,018
pot.

1337
00:49:27,688 --> 00:49:30,788
Villain tanks for over 2 minutes.

1338
00:49:31,679 --> 00:49:33,135
That's the longest 2 minutes

1339
00:49:33,512 --> 00:49:33,911
ever.

1340
00:49:35,186 --> 00:49:38,057
Good. Gosh. 2 minutes. And at times he

1341
00:49:38,057 --> 00:49:39,572
looked like he was going to fold.

1342
00:49:40,622 --> 00:49:42,847
But then the villain changed his mind and

1343
00:49:42,847 --> 00:49:44,119
looked like he was going to call.

1344
00:49:46,265 --> 00:49:47,321
Clock was called

1345
00:49:47,696 --> 00:49:48,331
on the villain.

1346
00:49:50,016 --> 00:49:53,196
But he made the call before the floor

1347
00:49:53,196 --> 00:49:55,445
even arrived and turned over

1348
00:49:56,376 --> 00:49:57,172
pocket tens,

1349
00:49:58,061 --> 00:50:00,449
winning the pot and knocking me out. I

1350
00:50:00,449 --> 00:50:03,074
said nines. Yeah. You did. You called it.

1351
00:50:03,313 --> 00:50:05,554
We... Yeah. I think... All 3 of us.

1352
00:50:05,713 --> 00:50:07,621
I think... I was gonna say Dustin called

1353
00:50:07,621 --> 00:50:09,608
it. I mean, I'd I'd glenn... I mean,

1354
00:50:09,766 --> 00:50:10,561
I fed off of him.

1355
00:50:12,230 --> 00:50:13,445
Dustin says I know

1356
00:50:14,154 --> 00:50:16,391
that my play was higher variance, but being

1357
00:50:16,391 --> 00:50:18,228
able to re buy and build a huge

1358
00:50:18,228 --> 00:50:18,548
stack.

1359
00:50:20,146 --> 00:50:20,865
My blockers,

1360
00:50:21,278 --> 00:50:23,030
and based on the villains line, I think

1361
00:50:23,030 --> 00:50:24,542
we can place them on a specific range

1362
00:50:24,542 --> 00:50:25,338
of pocket pairs.

1363
00:50:26,373 --> 00:50:27,589
My river jam

1364
00:50:27,964 --> 00:50:29,875
should get the bill to fold and allow

1365
00:50:29,875 --> 00:50:31,958
me to win the pot as he's only

1366
00:50:31,958 --> 00:50:35,616
beating a bluff or lesser pocket pairs. Ace

1367
00:50:35,616 --> 00:50:37,206
king, ace jack nines.

1368
00:50:38,399 --> 00:50:40,410
Just so happened we had the Ace king

1369
00:50:41,039 --> 00:50:41,777
in hindsight,

1370
00:50:42,868 --> 00:50:44,936
I should have bet the turn card versus

1371
00:50:44,936 --> 00:50:45,255
checking.

1372
00:50:46,447 --> 00:50:46,845
As is...

1373
00:50:48,054 --> 00:50:50,520
This is what... Dustin dusted is spot on.

1374
00:50:50,759 --> 00:50:52,054
He he he he

1375
00:50:52,668 --> 00:50:54,737
he knew what what he was doing. Yeah.

1376
00:50:55,309 --> 00:50:57,063
They said betting on the turn card and

1377
00:50:57,063 --> 00:50:58,737
then going all in. Oh, so he didn't

1378
00:50:58,737 --> 00:51:00,093
wanna go all in. He just wanted to

1379
00:51:00,093 --> 00:51:01,130
bet lead out.

1380
00:51:01,847 --> 00:51:03,601
I think actually, I think actually,

1381
00:51:04,254 --> 00:51:06,023
Dustin, I think the check raise

1382
00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:09,095
looks more strong there on that turn card.

1383
00:51:09,333 --> 00:51:09,413
But,

1384
00:51:12,050 --> 00:51:14,690
But you're right. Even if you bet there

1385
00:51:14,690 --> 00:51:15,730
and then bet the river,

1386
00:51:18,130 --> 00:51:20,369
that makes our shove look even stronger on

1387
00:51:20,369 --> 00:51:23,273
the river and either way either either

1388
00:51:23,646 --> 00:51:25,099
line probably gets

1389
00:51:26,107 --> 00:51:27,139
our opponent to fold.

1390
00:51:27,933 --> 00:51:28,171
Yeah.

1391
00:51:28,806 --> 00:51:30,967
Yeah. That's a fun 1. That was a

1392
00:51:30,967 --> 00:51:32,003
fun 1. That was a good 1.

1393
00:51:32,879 --> 00:51:33,835
Dustin, that was definitely,

1394
00:51:34,392 --> 00:51:36,144
I think you you had it peg.

1395
00:51:37,976 --> 00:51:38,215
You,

1396
00:51:40,377 --> 00:51:42,043
Sounds like you played it pad. You you

1397
00:51:42,043 --> 00:51:42,440
really didn't.

1398
00:51:43,233 --> 00:51:44,661
Learned a lot from that. I think a

1399
00:51:44,661 --> 00:51:46,088
lot had to do with it too. I

1400
00:51:46,088 --> 00:51:47,437
think I've may have played it differently.

1401
00:51:48,088 --> 00:51:50,001
I I appreciate the background, I guess is

1402
00:51:50,001 --> 00:51:52,234
what I was trying to say because having

1403
00:51:52,234 --> 00:51:53,690
the rebound in my pocket

1404
00:51:54,545 --> 00:51:57,032
allowed me to know the check, shove or

1405
00:51:57,032 --> 00:51:59,585
check raise was the way to go. Yeah.

1406
00:51:59,744 --> 00:52:01,020
You don't have that in your pocket. You

1407
00:52:01,020 --> 00:52:02,775
don't ear... You're not settle on that yet.

1408
00:52:02,934 --> 00:52:04,051
I mean, I think you play a little

1409
00:52:04,051 --> 00:52:05,407
bit differently. So that's a good.

1410
00:52:06,379 --> 00:52:08,288
Yeah. I I think you... At at least

1411
00:52:08,288 --> 00:52:09,583
you think about it. So

1412
00:52:10,117 --> 00:52:12,742
Oh. Either way, either way the rebound went

1413
00:52:12,742 --> 00:52:14,755
well. Yeah. I was say, either way, we're

1414
00:52:14,755 --> 00:52:15,795
all back at that re bike.

1415
00:52:16,355 --> 00:52:16,594
Yep.

1416
00:52:18,674 --> 00:52:18,994
And,

1417
00:52:19,954 --> 00:52:21,808
I have not seen a bracelet. From Dustin.

1418
00:52:21,967 --> 00:52:24,199
So I don't think the re by got

1419
00:52:24,199 --> 00:52:24,438
him

1420
00:52:25,475 --> 00:52:27,547
a championship, but hopefully, he cashed.

1421
00:52:28,105 --> 00:52:29,221
And There. Yeah.

1422
00:52:30,433 --> 00:52:30,592
So,

1423
00:52:31,311 --> 00:52:33,945
Dustin, thanks for sending that in. And if

1424
00:52:33,945 --> 00:52:35,940
anybody else has a hint of the week

1425
00:52:35,940 --> 00:52:37,935
that they would like Patrick and I to

1426
00:52:37,935 --> 00:52:40,423
down. Send it to podcast at any at

1427
00:52:40,423 --> 00:52:41,301
magazine dot com.

1428
00:52:42,019 --> 00:52:44,572
Patrick las it again next week. Pleasure always.

1429
00:52:44,811 --> 00:52:45,370
I'll see you then.

1430
00:52:56,013 --> 00:52:58,877
Now that we're back home and we have

1431
00:52:58,877 --> 00:53:01,263
a little bit of time outside of poker.

1432
00:53:02,473 --> 00:53:04,388
It had me thinking about why we all

1433
00:53:04,388 --> 00:53:05,367
love this game

1434
00:53:06,223 --> 00:53:08,219
despite the roller coaster of emotions it puts

1435
00:53:08,219 --> 00:53:08,697
us through.

1436
00:53:10,308 --> 00:53:11,527
It's this mix of

1437
00:53:12,144 --> 00:53:12,304
acceleration,

1438
00:53:13,261 --> 00:53:15,198
soul crushing defeat and

1439
00:53:15,576 --> 00:53:17,970
the occasional bout of beginner luck that keeps.

1440
00:53:18,383 --> 00:53:19,894
Us coming back for more. Right?

1441
00:53:20,769 --> 00:53:22,996
Or maybe it's that art of the well

1442
00:53:22,996 --> 00:53:26,337
timed bluff because you've worked hard being patient

1443
00:53:26,337 --> 00:53:27,939
and building your image,

1444
00:53:29,365 --> 00:53:31,664
you've told that story on every street. Now

1445
00:53:31,664 --> 00:53:32,853
it's time to go for it.

1446
00:53:34,533 --> 00:53:37,396
Bluff is like this delicate dance where you're

1447
00:53:37,396 --> 00:53:38,929
the star performer and

1448
00:53:40,019 --> 00:53:42,428
everyone else has left questioning their life choices

1449
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:43,780
until

1450
00:53:44,648 --> 00:53:47,841
someone calls your bluff, and you're left to

1451
00:53:47,841 --> 00:53:48,341
sheep

1452
00:53:49,038 --> 00:53:50,076
turn your hand over.

1453
00:53:50,714 --> 00:53:52,550
But, hey, at least you tried,

1454
00:53:54,392 --> 00:53:56,059
I used to think that it was the

1455
00:53:56,059 --> 00:53:58,440
fact that I had control of the game

1456
00:53:58,440 --> 00:53:59,472
that I loved so much.

1457
00:54:00,838 --> 00:54:03,311
But that's really all in illusion too. Right?

1458
00:54:04,268 --> 00:54:05,943
We're still at the mercy of the deck.

1459
00:54:06,740 --> 00:54:09,314
I'll admit though. That there is something beautifully

1460
00:54:09,532 --> 00:54:10,170
ironic about.

1461
00:54:10,981 --> 00:54:13,129
Feeling like a master strategist, well,

1462
00:54:14,004 --> 00:54:16,072
still praying for an ace on the river.

1463
00:54:17,598 --> 00:54:20,404
Like being a captain of a ship with

1464
00:54:20,461 --> 00:54:21,097
half a rudder.

1465
00:54:21,972 --> 00:54:24,142
You're still navigating the seas, but

1466
00:54:24,596 --> 00:54:25,096
ultimately,

1467
00:54:25,709 --> 00:54:26,743
it's up to the waves.

1468
00:54:27,634 --> 00:54:28,134
Or

1469
00:54:28,510 --> 00:54:29,250
the cards

1470
00:54:29,786 --> 00:54:30,822
as to where you end up.

1471
00:54:32,975 --> 00:54:34,411
A friend of mine was telling me that

1472
00:54:34,411 --> 00:54:36,897
their favorite moments of poker are when they

1473
00:54:36,897 --> 00:54:39,528
make an outrageous call and it pays off.

1474
00:54:40,565 --> 00:54:42,717
You know, the times when you put your

1475
00:54:42,717 --> 00:54:44,493
opponent on a specific hand

1476
00:54:45,522 --> 00:54:46,793
and you're actually right.

1477
00:54:47,745 --> 00:54:49,731
It's like finding a needle in a haystack

1478
00:54:49,731 --> 00:54:51,477
and then doing this victory dance. Right?

1479
00:54:52,271 --> 00:54:54,518
Never mind that these moments are

1480
00:54:54,987 --> 00:54:56,816
about as rare as a solar eclipse.

1481
00:54:58,406 --> 00:55:01,427
I guess they're worth every ounce of south

1482
00:55:01,427 --> 00:55:03,831
doubt regret that they had to go through

1483
00:55:03,831 --> 00:55:04,389
to get there.

1484
00:55:06,623 --> 00:55:09,574
Being in Vegas during the W sop was

1485
00:55:09,574 --> 00:55:12,445
further proof that Poker brings people together too.

1486
00:55:14,213 --> 00:55:16,126
Sometimes too close together.

1487
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,873
Like when that 1 friend won't stop telling

1488
00:55:19,873 --> 00:55:20,724
you how they

1489
00:55:21,164 --> 00:55:22,521
almost won that big hand,

1490
00:55:23,079 --> 00:55:24,357
but it's all part of the charm,

1491
00:55:25,394 --> 00:55:28,268
the banter, the rivalry and the shared moments

1492
00:55:28,268 --> 00:55:29,626
of victory and defeat.

1493
00:55:30,994 --> 00:55:33,244
These create these bonds that last longer

1494
00:55:33,858 --> 00:55:35,449
than the time it takes for a new

1495
00:55:35,449 --> 00:55:36,563
player to shuffle a deck.

1496
00:55:39,598 --> 00:55:42,611
I also enjoy the little side anecdotes in

1497
00:55:42,611 --> 00:55:43,824
poker, like

1498
00:55:44,434 --> 00:55:45,941
players and their superstition.

1499
00:55:47,465 --> 00:55:50,832
The lucky hat, the special shuffle, the ritual

1500
00:55:51,287 --> 00:55:51,924
snack break.

1501
00:55:52,482 --> 00:55:54,631
It's part of the fun to believe that

1502
00:55:54,631 --> 00:55:57,684
these little quirks have any bearing on the

1503
00:55:57,684 --> 00:55:59,464
outcome of a game that is

1504
00:55:59,925 --> 00:56:01,304
entirely based on probability.

1505
00:56:02,977 --> 00:56:04,492
But, hey, it makes you feel better. If

1506
00:56:04,492 --> 00:56:05,768
it makes you feel better to...

1507
00:56:06,486 --> 00:56:08,560
But, hey, if it makes you feel better

1508
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,554
to knock 3 times on the table before

1509
00:56:10,554 --> 00:56:11,351
you look at your cards,

1510
00:56:12,485 --> 00:56:13,605
That's Sm on my face.

1511
00:56:14,565 --> 00:56:17,364
That's me enjoying the moment, not judging you.

1512
00:56:19,539 --> 00:56:20,019
In the end,

1513
00:56:20,660 --> 00:56:22,579
poker is more than just a game,

1514
00:56:23,460 --> 00:56:25,780
it's a test of wits and nerves. It's

1515
00:56:25,780 --> 00:56:27,559
the perfect blend of strategy

1516
00:56:28,273 --> 00:56:29,090
luck and

1517
00:56:29,545 --> 00:56:31,533
socialization that keeps us coming back for more.

1518
00:56:32,964 --> 00:56:33,464
So

1519
00:56:34,316 --> 00:56:35,111
here's the poker,

1520
00:56:35,827 --> 00:56:37,758
the game we love to hate

1521
00:56:38,470 --> 00:56:39,829
and hate to love.

1522
00:56:41,030 --> 00:56:42,309
But deal me in for sure.

1523
00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:44,950
That's today's 1 outer,

1524
00:56:45,590 --> 00:56:46,630
and that's today's show.

1525
00:56:47,523 --> 00:56:48,720
I'll see you next week, 18.

1526
00:56:49,597 --> 00:56:50,315
And until then,

1527
00:56:51,432 --> 00:56:52,469
I'll see you at the tables.
