Postle would've folded the turn

If someone folded this online, the hand history would stand up in court as evidence of cheating

Postle Masterclass: "You can't be all loosey goosey calling with the second nuts"

Clearly Garrett brought the Mike Postle's masterclass

Postle's attorney is going to show this hand in court to the jury

Dude I love Garrett. He seems fun to play with, except I don't wanna lose my house and my car.

Doug - I know you feel burned out a bit from poker and are focusing on the CS stuff. Maybe one day you'll get your second wind, but just know you've done a lot for this game. Thanks for putting yourself out there for our benefit, that's not an easy thing to do. Good luck with all you do. - a lab member.

“It hurts that you’d think that I’d say it’s a bad fold” “But it’s probably a bad fold” lol

I bet Doug Polk could fold this.

Garrett using the mike postle solver obviously

“Lays down a monster, should have paid me off”- Andy.

I feel Garret's speech was just next level. Asking Andy if he would feel bad, I swear he got a tell from that. I would have literally answered, forgetting how much information it gives away lol

I watched this Live and passed out in shock, disbelief and furious envy.. Garrett is the GOAT.

"You have to understand that everything your crotch does at the poker table conveys information." - Mike Postle

Hi Doug, I just wanted to say I appreciate your sense of humor and witty editing. You also know your shit when it comes to poker. So who needs anything else in this genre? You're the best poker youtuber out there. Keep doing what you're doing. Best wishes all the way from Argentina!

Its always funny to laugh at Negreanu. '👓 ACTUALLY'

“Ya fold it, sure.” 😂 LATB GOAT

The bad day approach was my favorite thing you've said in a while. I lol'd

Garrett is the kind of guy that makes daily trips to Whole Foods and takes time out of his day to talk to the staff... Then gets on LATB and folds the second nuts. #PerfectHuman

Beast fold by Garret! Straight up putting Andy on Q10, when he’s holding the 10 and second nuts?! That’s just gangsta!!!

Folding is actually kind of insulting to Andy

PLOT TWIST: Garrett Adelstein and Mike Postle were seen having dinner together the night prior to this cash game took place.

Thank you for all the review videos and content you've posted. I really appreciate them. Wish you the best.

And then Doug folded the exact same hand vs Phil!

I've had sleepless nights trying to wrap my head how he made this fold.

Andy knew right away what Garrett laid down and he was beyond rattled that he missed that value. He ended up getting up and going on a walk for a while right after because he was so tilted

Sick cooler and it´s Andy that ends up on tilt...Impressive stuff from Garrett

i thought this was about Mike Postle, i was like, dam that was fast

What a video .. insane analysis.. appreciative of you Doug

thanks Doug! I always enjoy your format for how these hands play out. you are professional compared to other Poker Analysts. If you ever seriously consider jumping out of a plane, hit me up. I will be the lead Jumpmaster on that Airborne Operation and explain just a thoroughly as you do about the sequence of events that should happen in a situation.

"Actually" XD

Mike Postle couldn’t make that lay down even seeing his opponents cards. Garett is unreal

I'd argue that folding the second nut boat to nut boat is sometimes easier than folding second nut straight to nut straight (of course when no better draw completes).

amazing video thank you doug...subscribed!

Just shows that no matter how great of a player you are in live games that play so deep most of them are never balanced in certain spots, and just to clarify in advance Andy is a beast. Imo the 'mistake' that Andy made is on the turn where I don't think that he implements a balanced strategy at all and thats what made Garrett sniff this one out. I don't think that he ever bluffs-3bet there on the turn IP, he would simply call with his good made hands that are not the nuts and even with his huge draws in order not too get blown out of the pot if gman decides to 4-bet the turn. The thing that makes this hand so great is that Gman knows that T7 no diamond there should be a call 100% of the times but decides to avoid the GTO play and just makes the exploitable laydown in an underbluffed spot with the extra difficulty that if wrong he will be ridiculed in front of the whole world. Simply great stuff from Gman, if a GTO machine played in the exact same lineups as Gman I doubt that it could extract the same amount of value even though it would have an edge in HU pots against the man.

At 3:53 in those shows.. when the statues eyes start moving..

Both Garrett and Doug folded in this exact spot, I play 150 bigs get it in and complain about how unlucky I got. I do believe Doug’s fold was easier because Phil H gave off alarming tells while Andy did not.

Looking forward to more videos. I'm so glad you had the plane prop (and yes, dammit, that pun was intended).

This fold is actually much better than the Doug's fold vs Phil HellMuth because of the Pot Odds. i don't want to think that Garett cheated but i can't come up with any other explanation.

Great player admire his honesty and wisdom. Need that in my games.

This never gets old. If Garrett led out on the river for 7k and Andy raised I could see a fold but with 2nd nuts check bet fold is crazy. So much for the whole blockers argument having that 10 ball.

Watched this live. Garrett was having a really bad session. It got even worse later in the stream as he got drunk and started playing pretty wild. Hopefully GMan feels better now, not fun to watch a hero in pain.

At this point these hand reviews are starting to sound more like 2+2 advice when you start being sarcastic. Perfect humour.

I don’t believe you that Garrett is gonna get away from this

That upswing segment was hilarious

Doug are you using a new microphone? Sounds better if so. Thanks for another solid analysis!

Garret is the table captain, he slowrolled the fold he's my man... Live poker at its best...

Next level speech play and knowing your opponent

everything you do at the poker table conveys information.... through my RFID scanner.

My favorite part of the video was Tifa's theme music.

A couple of years later, Doug will fold the same exact hand to Hellmuth’s Q10 all-in on the flop. Always keep them guessing 😈

Andy always lives in Garret’s shadow lol

IT IS THE SAME HAND THAT DOUG MADE THE MOST LEGENDARY FOLD IN POKER HISTORY VS PHIL HELMUTH

"Yeaa fold it, sure" LOL fucking GOAT gotta love garrett

Key takeaways: checking, betting , raising OR folding, Preflop, or any street thereafter, seems totally reasonable.

..."when you're playing 1000+BB deep, make sure you go allin pre when you have aces, to prevent suck outs..." D.P., on a class of his own...

And then some time later, Polk makes the EXACT same fold vs Hellmuth on the new series of HSP! It was a 🐐fold on LATB, and a 🐐 fold on HSP. GG Doug!

that guy that folded is one of the best players at that table.

It may be the "incorrect" fold but it's still flat out amazing. World class. I wouldn't want Garret (or Andy) at my table

so how big rake should be to be considerable factor?

Final Fantasy Soundtrack on 12:40! Who heard it too? Very nice 1, Doug!!!

Garrett is so accomplished, yet watching the clip it seems he knew he was going to fold the moment the river bet landed. I suspect Garrett had a read on his opponent - maybe Andy underbluffs these situations. Normally folding the 2nd nuts (esp. when you've taken a passive line thus far) would be insane. Garrett is not insane, so he probably had a read.

When I watch this with no sound and subtitles, it said "What's up guys, Dog Poke here". Honestly, I think that's exactly how your intro should be from now on.

If they had never played a hand together, I’d say from a GTO perspective...bad fold. But because that’s definitely not the case here and exploitative play becomes a factor, it’s actually one of the sickest...ever.

Same thing happened to me on the last day when I was in vegas. I even said you have the Q10 hand, but I still made the call. Tanked for an hour but I was like I know you have it but call.

Great analysis as always Doug but you know Postle would have folded as soon as he saw the turn no bet no check just fold.. He’s a god.

Given everything about this hand and dynamic, I can honestly say this is the sickest fold ever. I don’t even think it’s close

That FFVII Tifa’s theme at 12:38 tho lol

Watched it live. Amazing hand.

The thing about LATB is that all the hands are going to be significantly distorted from another game of these stakes and skill levels because each session is recorded and Andy and Garret obviously watch all the footage. Garret likely felt almost 100% certain Andy had QT for that reason, under normal circumstances he would never fold there.

Man that comment he made before the hand about not feeling well then this happening right away is severely under rated. I've been playing poker for a while and I've personally experienced it and seen other people experience it too. We have inherent psychic abilities but of course talking about it seems "crazy" but if you've played a long time and have even just kept an open mind about it, you would see it coming up

I won't watch live at the bike if Garrett isn't there. Dude is a straight G!! Dude's such a huge favorite, he folds 2nd nuts no problem.

I’m a homer type poker player and still have a lot to learn. I play better in tournaments than I do in cash games, mainly because I don’t have a lot of money and people that do have money just wear me down. Bottom line, I Love your videos the most, Doug and I thank you for the content. I could never sit with Garrett. He would stress me out. Nice guy I’m sure. But he’s intense.

My favourite poker personality, Dolg Polk.

Funny vid given recent knowledge.

I would have gone broke here for sure, I also would have been stoked until I saw the showdown. That fold was amazing, suspicious even?

Dude, that is some next level shit. Like a level that nobody else plays on. And I'm not really a fan of the guy, but that lay down is legendary.

When an absolutely amazing play is simultaneously the wrong play....

Garret is a fuckin boss I used to get kind of irked how good he can run at times. Full respect

Folding the second nuts, while having a blocker to the nuts is just a (-)EV move. 9/10 he is folding his straight to his opponents missed draw, 2 pair or set. I always make that call and get paid 90% of the time.

100% RFID scanner read, he’s the Mike of LATB there is no other way

Watched this live....single bet fold...wow

When I first read the thumbnail I thought he was talking about sexuality 🤣🤣

Title thought would be Postle video

Doug made the same move vs Phil Hellmuth a few months back.

Crazy as it might sound, I actually think, there is a case for folding already to that large turn 3-bet. Your hand can not improve, If your opponent has QT, you are dead, and if he is bluffing, he has decent equity. So nothing good can happen for you on the river, but a lot of bad things can happen. A board pair, flush coming in, even a T, that will counterfeit your hand. There is a reason, why second or third straight is often referred to with names like the dummys end. However if you call the turn and see a blank river like this, you kind of have to call again. The whole justification for calling on the turn is to catch a bluff, and when everything missed, your opponent could certainly still be bluffing on the river. You also block the nuts, and you dont block most bluffs, so this is the absolute ideal bluff catcher. So Garrett did not play this well, but in these Mike Postle days I certainly dont see this hand as evidence of cheating. If Garrett knew his opponents cards, there was no reason to check-raise the turn and put himself in this gross spot. He could just have check-called down and gotten to a cheap showdown. Or he could have gone for a smaller size. There is no reason to almost pot it, if you know, your opponent has the nuts and is going to raise you.

That's insane that he didn't at least call!

Once again convinced that Garrett is a very strong player. Favorite cash player

Who would possibly fold 10-7 against Queen-10?

This has got to be the best fold in poker history. Proof to me otherwise.

Amazing fold!!

Sick fold bro. Agree its a call...but if you know, you know.. I genuinely think many pros are just lucky, but Garrett is clearly a great live player. This cant be anything but a read, and a pin point one at that. Turning the 2nd nut str on a gutter then folding on a river brick means he legitimately put him on QT with such confidence its scary. Theres all the sets and over pairs he crushes. Add to that he has made many light calls and Andy knows that. For this reason alone the call is recommended, even mandatory, so making the correct fold here is next level...

My internal monologue if I was in Garrett's seat: "I want him to think that i'm pondering a call. When really all i'm thinking about is Vegas and the fucking mirage."

Mixing in a lil' FF7 egg in there. Nice.

Garret taking a page out of the Mike Postle book?😂

First time commenting. Doug Polk you are the best!

I don’t understand the turn call if he decides to fold river after all possible draws bricked. Would love to hear his thoughts on the hand

Question I have is if Andy only called the turn raise, would Garrett then bet the river? Which would have been the better value for Andy?

Freaking sick laydown fold...very gf...i know he got a live read on him.

great analysis, as always, Doug. We know you would never talk about (or credit) any live reads, but isn't just possible that Garrett picks up enough from Andy to tilt his decision toward a fold. They play together a lot, so i have assume Garrett knows Andy's patterns and behavior really well. Could that be enough for somebody like Garrett (a full-time high stakes live player) to influence his decision? Isn't that at least worth mentioning? Wouldn't that be a blend of GTO and exploitative you talk about? (and, yes, i get it, the rest of us mere mortals shouldn't emulate that - we can't)
