I vaguely recognized the name from the old ESPN WSOP episodes back in the day but great line from him haha

He's a legend

He was one of the four members of the Hendon Mob

Barney is a proper sort from London. Absolute bloke.

When he said he's tired, he's taking the piss. It's how Londoners talk. He wants to tilt his opponent more.

Looks like an MC for a murder mystery dinner theater lol

@@bigweathertruther6373lmaooooo 😂😂😂😂

or a character on ♪ ♫ the loooove boaaat ♪ ♫

I like hoodies. You too??? t shirts n shorts??. Yeah, me too... I like scooby doo too. we re like twins.. LMAO. Man im funny today.

Fred wore a bandana thing, it only looked like an ascot, but nice reference .

Goatman comment

Was a great comment lol. Afriat couldn't say the same for himself 😂

Some aggrobots should take this to heart. If it ain’t the Sunday Milly no ICM for me baby!

Brave bluff but a board pairing deuce, cmon, he can't sulk.

Nice point, he just couldn't get a scare card to hit.

Yeah it was very ballsy, but when you have nothing to back it up you have to expect to lose at least some of the time. That call what amazing, though.

Phil Helmuth made people think that behavior is okay. Poker rooms across the world are filled with terrible nonsense thanks to that idiot Phil 🤦‍♂️

Your not supposed to tell the fish they are bad....

​@@pokerace420be my backer or find me one and we'll make a lot of money

Idk, I beat people all the time and they rarely comment on my bad play. Although, someone did recently berate me after I called their jam with a set of 7s and they turned a gutter with KJ. Board paired and they said I should have folded lol

because when you win a pot its poor etiquette to comment on opponents play…

lol. I though he's some rich business guy who usually lets his employees feel his emotions. So he owns a small or medium sized business where this money would matter? No way he's an employee. ... He could be in a fancy clothing store. The irony, just heard him call Barny a bullshitter.

He played horrendously. He'll give back his tournament winnings playing the way he did with that jacks and twos hand against Afriat by running into someone who actually has it the next time around.

@@Zenigundam He definitely won’t. Barney Boatman has been around the poker world longer than you’ve been alive I would suggest. He’s old school but definitely no mug and 💯 not the type to let a big score go to his head. He’s actually a lovely guy, good luck to him.

@@Zenigundam😂 bro its actually a great call especially if his opponent of bluffing. Let’s not judge the players winning millions of dollars.

​@@ZenigundamWhy? Its a good call.

He was ahead.. And he knew it

he made him an offer he couldn't refuse ! CALL!

You must love watching hellmouth play then 😂👍.

@DaftyBoi412 I do :) years and years ago I was watching him play on one of the smaller tables of a big tournament and he went all in against an amateur, the amateur called, beat Hellmuth, and instead of leaving he stood there for 5minutes telling the amateur they didn't play their hand the way they're suppose to and how wrong the amateur was. I was begging the guy to say something like, "I play my game, if I played your game I'd lose" or "if I'm playing my hand wrong and won what does that make you...other than a loser?"

Would you prefer he checks back? He doesn’t really have many other natural bluffs. He shouldn’t play ace highs like this and he should give up like other kx

@@dexter6447yes check back and muck

@@dexter6447 I just think front door diamonds is like the worst possible hand to bluff with here, you block there auto folds. He should have a number of other bluffs here, like 9Ts/QTs/A4cc/A5cc, that would be better as they unblock auto folds. Also not a spot there needs to be that many bluffs, since his value range is so narrow for three streets, maybe just over pairs, 88/JJ/AJ

@@TheNow_Now fair but he does block a lotta kj qj that could be hero calling. I think Barney was pretty obviously getting sticky with a J for several reasons and those are some of his only calls (even if he’d be leaning more to a fold w the diamond in his hand). I just think Eric read the situation v well and made a good bluff that shouldn’t really be getting called by j9

​@@dexter6447 maybe, but I don't think boatman has very many good hands here that get to the river in this manner. what hands does he get here with that aren't check/raised at some point? They are all like one pair hands. AJ maybe even raises flop at some frequency. So if he doesn't call with J9, what does he call with, just QJ/KJ? J9 is not the best bc it blocks T9s and Q9s, but I think it makes for a pretty decent call. I don't think its the craziest call ever either like Afrait was making it out to be, but in the context it was just a big hand that really shifted the momentum of the whole tournament and caused a tantrum. But top pair is close to top of range from Boatman's perspective, as hand played out.

He won three WPT Titles which is mind-boggling.

Idt that’s why boatman called, cause afriat looked weak.

Lol tell us you dont know shit bout poker if you dont know who Afriat is.

He actually had two glaring tells as soon as he shoved. He gluped in a way you could easily tell it was a stress reaction and not anything else. Then his eyes darted towards boatman with this look of pure nerves in his eyes. If boatman saw even one of them Afrat would of looked like he had a pair of IOU notes in his hands.

I've been watching 15 years and I completely agree. This is wrong. He's fucking up the blinds, they rarely mention the damage he does to the tournament format by doing this too. They just think he's titled. He's basically cheating 😅

Sums up Phil Helmuth

60+

60+ is technically 50+ too and you learn as you get older not many people grow up, It takes a real tragedy in your life to make someone mature , and if you are narcissistic tragedy seem to make them worse and more childlike

youve not seen his brother then lol also a poker player and actor

Hahahahahaha it is funny because it's true

He is older than both

"Barney, Barney, Barney "

👊🙏😎

if your daughter did this, you should be jailed bro. .. Plus, at 13, how she learn to play like Afriat?? Years of knowledge, so u threw ur 13yr old in the games at 7yrs old n she d tilt like this at 13??? Wait, what?. good job Sir. Anyway, why u bring up your 13yr old daughter?? Kinda weird.... I may be old fashioned, but.... Still bro.. Anyway, I m just trolling. but I feel uncomfortable with you throwing ur 13yr olds daughter in comments.. Why even mention daughter?? Come to think of it, why even mention age? Like you couldn t of said my kid, child, whatever. Now i don t even believe u have a daughter...

Man that was aa smart reply. it just came out 007. must be good. Not sure tho. I won t continue trolling here. I don t want action here on Duval s page. Duaval, right?? I havent heard of Him but I think i mentioned the dude b3. Peace out

That's pretty fucked up. I hope you don't really have a kid. Your daughter is going to do worse than this in the next 5 years before she's off to college and gets to pretend she doesn't know you.

That’s some real self awareness 👏

You're lucky that Afriat gave you wings to fly, Alex.

"I hope the weakest player wins the pot" was a pretty epic 'good luck', lmao

I agree, and it was a valid strategy, he made it to the second day so

Yeah I don’t know if ‘Timebank abuse’ is a thing. Pretty smart from him I think - he gets a whole day to cool off. At least he knows himself well enough to know he wouldn’t play a big spot well if it were to transpire.

Ill be the first to enlighten you on your abhorrent use of a question mark in that sentence. Say that sentence out loud to yourself with that question mark on the end. Does that sound normal to you?

as long as it doesnt break the rules who gives af how a player uses their time banks

It is a piker etiquette lesson. Theres a lot of "under the table" rules. Such as In a tournament sometimes you dont bet a "dry pot" whem one player is all in and there is side action so you can take a player out. Lots of ifs and or buts in poker.

Gotta love him

This

He put him on a draw, so not really.

Yeah he’s overbluffing it was a terrible shove

Yeah he must be from Quebec lol

The dude who later on says how nice it is to play with pro players that have etiquette 😂

Because etiquette reflects your ability to respect the other players at the table. If you don't care about the quality of people you surround yourself with, then sure, it doesn't matter. But it's the mark of a mature, fully functioning adult.

@@kjr4946 this player was in adherence to the rules of the game & his demeanor was pleasant. I can’t think of any other competitive game or sport where people virtue signal such emphasis for “etiquette.” For fucks sake, to win the game it helps to emotionally manipulate, mislead & deceive your opponent through gaslighting (“good fold” when it wasn’t/showing ONE card to plant the seed of DOUBT), teasing (showing bluffs) & targeting the vulnerable (tired, drunk, inexperienced players). Nothing about poker is any form of expression of etiquette! This guy showed LOTS of humility & class by complimenting his opponent’s play when he lost- which to me, speaks louder of his character than USING THE TIME CHIPS WHICH ARE THERE FOR HIM TO USE 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😆 🤡
