Greenstein explained this hand he said ivey didn't know booth was a pro and thought he was an amateur overplaying aces. Also he said ivey had only brought 260k all the money on the table and did not want to bust and quit the game thats why he folded

Doug, From a poker player and fan from the golden days of online poker, i must say; Thanks for keeping poker entertainment alive.

This hand shouldn't be analyzed like it's a typical play in a normal environment. Brad Booth has stated in interviews he only made this move because he knew it was on TV and he wanted the publicity. That was back when every player was trying to get an endorsement deal. He knew bluffing Phil Ivey would get his name out there and possibly lead to a deal.

Wow, Daniel still has his own hair here!

Will you make Sammy Farha vs Jaime Gold AAvsKK hand just for the lolz? Love your content, keep it up!

i remember watching this on tv, i feel old lol

This is the hand the cost Doug $30,000.

You should also get onto Iveys mindset in this season, in the same session he folded a kigh high flush on the flop on a simple bet and a call which is very unlikely for him, I guess if he was in another mood he was going to make the call

Douglas seems very innocent back in this era. Kind of precious ha - I enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing the games & info - keep up the good work - never give up - have fun!

And then he started judging Phil Ivey's bet sizing!!

Doug-Great Analysis. A great channel to be a subscriber... Thanks...

only durrrr has the balls to call that bet

Booth re-raise first, calling the 3rd raise and all in after the raise on the flop. The only thing Phil is worried about is AA at this point and he did the right play by folding instead of risking everything on not knowing whether the opponent got AA. If Booth play crazy like that a few more hands, he is going to get busted anyway.

I think this is a bad hand to be criticizing a big fold on. I support the fold, but only because I remember the first 4 seasons of High Stakes Poker quite well, and I remember Yukon Brad had bought in for a million, played just about every coordinated hand he got, and was showing down a lot of relatively speculative hands that had ended up smashing the board. There's really nothing that Phil Ivey is way ahead of that isn't an airball like 42ss when Yukon Brad shoves. Granted, I think the shove itself isn't fundamentally sound at all, but that massive overbet puts pressure on Phil Ivey's well-defined 4-betting range, simply because of how much more likely it is to hit Yukon's range than it is to hit any of Ivey's range. Phil basically has only two combos of hands (AKdd/AQdd) out of his entire range (AKA dozens of other combos of different hands) that Yukon would be worried about shoving into, and those two combos still have a hard time calling off this bet. I hate to use the word "outplay" in a situation like this, but Brad definitely won a game of Chicken here.

Love hearing you talk about poker. You get it. :)

That is so ridiculous how Phil Ivey knows whats going on, just the look he gave at the end pretty much sums up the hand

Hi Doug can you do the guy Vs david beyamene hand the $1m one cheers

Wouldn't we rather unblock diamonds here? If our opponent is more weighted toward a flush draw, we're crushing those hands in equity. I suppose it depends, because it might be a combo draw, in which case we're close to a coin flip.

Nice bluff for publicity but really not smart putting 300K for like 36K

Could Brad ever raise to ~$85k on the flop to set up a potential turn pot sized shove? Seems like that would fold out a similar range of Phil's value hands for a significantly better price, but with the drawback of giving Phil the option of 3bet shoving the flop with his bluffs.

regardless of your detailed analysis I dont think you yourself would've called there for the same amount of cash

5:06 David Benyamine tells a little joke. 5:10 the bluffer smiles awkardly trying to show as if he liked the joke and as if he is taking part in the conversation, without however actually taking part in it. this is the biggest tell you might get in a poker table, the one that I call the 'take-part' guy. it is extremely useful in other games too! it has a specificity of about 80-90%

What about 44, 55, and 45 from Booth? You didn't even mention 45, which there is 16 combos of. Is he not representing 45? If the reason is "Because that is a bad play with 45" It's still worth mentioning.

Great review...I think that there is a significant difference between Aces and Kings here, too, since you don't have to fear A4 or A5 of diamonds anymore, which make up for a decent amount of combos in Booth's range. Also, not having that rare thing happening where Booth could have slowplayed AA is an extra bonus, albeit I don't see this happening very often. I think this shows what might be Ivey's only real leak: He is very unbalanced in huge All-in spots, both calling and shoving himself. In both cases, Ivey's is overly top-side weighted in his ranges, which is why he is more exploitable in these spots, which is the main reason why Dwan was able to beat him for years. And yes, even watching HSP back a few years, I remember this episode and I was thinking, that his preflop cold 4bet should have been bigger, even up to something like 22-25k.

Isn't it better not to have diamond so your opponent is more likely drawing instead having a set?

only confused with the Kd is it good blocker to call (blocking outs) isn't it blocking decent amount of his semi-bluffs?

If he really flopped top set theres no way he would over bet the pot by 300k imo. Betting 300 to win 60 essentially...thats illogical and doesnt imply ur trying to gradually build the pot to extract value..it just indicates that u desperatley want the 60k pot and are willing to look like a maniac to get it. Real isuldur1 play here

Doug liked this play so much he loaned Booth 30k!

interesting hand, you can see Ivey wants to call so much and it pains him to fold...

+Doug Polk would you rather Defend QdQx over KxKx (no diamond) in Ivey's spot?

such a bad fold by ivey imo... if I have a set here.. im smooth calling... and raising the turn... if I have a straight here Im doing the same.. maybe I actually am a terrible player but im calling here expecting at best a flush draw

Just played with Brad in San Rafael...nice guy. He's broke though, so no more 300k bet bluffs :P

What is the high jack?

Maybe phil ivey had a huge side bet on the game that he was ahead of. Also the reason why he raised so small preflop? Booth got a feeling that ivey wants to play small ball and made a big bluff knowing he wasn't able to call in this specific hand. I think I have never seen Ivey make a huge lay down and if this game was online or smaller stakes without side bets etc. He would call.

Who’s here after Brad went missing?

what season is this from

Doug clearly drunk af when he made this lol

Doug doesn't seem to be factoring in the most important part... this is from 7+ years ago when they looked at poker differently. He should specify if he's using the logic from then or now - since poker has changed a lot.

what i got from this is booth's move on ivy was genious because it worked. if it didnt, and he called him down; it was terrible play. lol.

Brad could have 3 bet with AA or 77. Either one is possible. In fact, 77 may be more likely than AA, because Brad probably would have re-raised Ivey preflop with AA.

I think it's worse to have the King of diamonds if you want to make this call because you block KQ KT KJ and K9 of diamonds which are all dream scenarios to be up against here. I do agree with Doug that Brad really doesnt ever have a set here because 77 66 and 33 are all standard calls in the CO facing a HJ open. So the question really becomes how often can Brad really have value here? 67s and 45s are the only hands i would ever consider three betting in the CO that have smashed this board.

speaking of brad booth, did u ever get ur money back from him?

I agree with the piece that he can't really have a set. I don't see many players 3-betting pre in a deep cash game with low to mid pair. ...having said that I'd talk myself into him having 7-6 and lay it down -_-

Phil can't see his cards. I trust Phil more often than not.

i watch this and as a musician all i can think about is, " Studiofoam is expensive, especially the colored ones, why would he change from red to blue? its not like those things go bad, and also, why is Mark Hoppus critiquing poker hands?!" LOOOL

on NL2 easy snap call!

I think Brad owes Doug some money.

awesome!

Seems strange that back in the days of non solver poker someone like Brad would be 3betting small pocket pairs to such a tiny amount with virtually no fold equity in position. Does Phil have info on Brad that he 3bets the tiny pockets? Phil is going to have to call some hands here or he’s just getting murdered post flop if he folds all over pairs on these textures, even to huge bets.

Would and have… Poker is about situations, and sometimes KK is no good.. Now, I’ve called plenty of times and looked up and had two eyeballs (AA) staring back at me, too.. lol..

He def is repping 45 or a set. I mean he could have a flush draw with a pair of 7's.

Against an unknown I probably wouldn't call that without having AA.

Nice Video, Doug! It reminds me on a Hand i played in a 1/2 Game in Vienna ( wich is The City where i live ). My Opponent opens on the Button for 12€ and i 3Bet out of the BB with Kings to 48€...he ends up calling. The Flop came 9,9,6 and i bet half Pot size and my Opponent raised me all in --> wich was a overbet. I call and run into Aces 🤧. Such a bad timing to have Kings Greetz from Vienna

Its an overbet, i just didnt think he had a book on booth yet.

He saw that cash and it fucked his judgement.

What about Brad owing you $28K Doug?

2023

Is it me or was Doug drunk when he made this video..?

Do your 74 bluff against Patrick.

nice mohawk thingy..

he's calling 300,000 to win 350,000. pot odd wise this was not a incorrect fold.

I fold pocket kings as soon as I get htem because I know for a 4 to 1 certainty I will lose a lot of money.

It would take a lot of balls to call in that spot. There are a few players who would instant call this, I'm sure, but it didn't feel right for Phil to go with it and so he had to let go of his kings. Absolutely crazy move by Booth but fortunately for him it paid off

Tough call due to stack sizing but overall Ivey could of minimized his range alot better. Over bet to win $50grand? Smells like a hand with possible +EV but not dominating. Highly doubt he thinks Ivey is a fish. He knew he had something good, Brad had his prayers up and nuts crossed on that hand.

most overated bluff ever...those pot odds

yes aa is a fold from ivey.

I did some math and I think our mdf v booth's jam is to defend 14% of our cbet range v air and 23% v a 20% equity bluff. If about a third of our cbets are QQ+ then we'd have to call KK 100% and if we're also cbetting AK combos then we'd have to call some QQ/AK combos v the jam. Since in Iveys shoes I wouldn't be cbetting AA/AK 100% I would probably have to call KK 100% and perhaps fold QQ 100%.

id bet my life you dont call that doug.

that goofy hair 🤣🤣🤣

Im surprised you advocate a CALL with $500 000 behind...why not shove.

is it just me, or is this guy high af?

He just not want to play this hand maybe his opponent has pocket ace,flush draw,three of kind or straight cause his opponent raise so much even Phil has pocket king in this flop he did not dare to raise like this so confidently.

Snap call.

lol u teaching ivey to play ?? lol wp

2023 2

I think if phil had more $ he would have re raised to get him to fold. Ivey prob knew he was on a draw and just calling 300k against someone on a draw isnt worth it. Its better to re raise them to try to get them to fold at least so you wont have to take the chance, but if they do take the chance and draw dead you make more

i learned a long time ago never count your chips never act like its real money. the way the action was i would of snapped called and hope he didnt get the flush or straight. you never raise then call a raise with a small pair. you always limp phil should of known.

Honestly a ser chek raised you and a flush draw also does that or push all in if he a fish im alway calling

Hey Doug, I really enjoy this series of videos. Please watch this (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcWTeZtozsmddo0.html) hand between Mercier and Ivey and consider doing a video for it.

I would have called there

Cha'alt!

Is Doug stoned, or drunk here? I can't tell.

Yo, D Fresh! - would you analyze this ivey v magician hand linked below ....do you think its just an easy call or a mistake brozo? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8B6a7l0vtWVd2g.html

The only thing Phil is thinking is that Booth has AA, since booth 3 bet preflop, there really is a small chance 3 bets a small pair there and hits that set and moves in.. AA really only makes since here, and I think that's why Ivey folded. Oh dougie boy, Booth didn't flat his hand. He reraised the J 9.. Gotta pay attention man. you say, there is a chance brad flatted AA.

this guy!! lmao wow just wow

even tho it worked this time i think you will lose on the long run.

lol this guy is a clown

it's so funny watching a schmuck like Polk try to second guess a master like Ivey.

If phil make call and 5 spade hit on the turn! Phil drawing dead!😀😀
