The Q7 check-fold on the turn against the turned set of K is just pure ownage. I have to say it is pretty impressive to sit and brag about you being the best in the world at this game, then showing your skills in practice in such a way.

@rooksman64 7 ай бұрын

I mean sure but there are lots of hands like KQJT, KQXX, KKXX and the fact that Bleznick led flop by potting for Chidwick to then bet into him is super strong

Jared is an example of what difference years can make to a person’s demeanour and personality. I remember seeing him on the PLO week on PAD over a decade ago and he was so cringingly awkward. I prefer this hyper-self confident version of him for tv.

oh I watched this tourney and to have Phil do a video on it? That's even better than Bleznick could ever dream of! *winks* PS: I recently got it in with the nut straight on a bloated flop pot from a pre flop short stack getting it in... both of the other dudes calling beat me by hitting 6 outs combined between them. Fun game this PLO. PPS: At best Jared is up against AAJT and that hand has Q7 two pair crushed anyway, solid fold... people watching ought to know Chidwick was playing super tight and snug that whole table also... that downsizing just looks so strong after calling the flop.
