    I would not have called that river bet. I like what Phil says here about playing too robotic. I can recall quite a few live sessions where even if I had the odds and math to call I would not put another penny into the pot because I knew I was beat. Good vid.

    • @pahakuutti
      @pahakuutti Před 9 lety

      Yeah, but that's the problem with not leading on a wet flop like that. I mean I like the flop check to take a free card and avoid trapping, but that makes your own perceived range really weak and you should therefore be calling lighter on later streets. That being said, I think that river bet sizing is super strong and that turns it into a fold, against an unknown opponent. Kinda nice for the guy to have Ivey as a coach..

    • @mikecantreed
      @mikecantreed Před 9 lety +2

      lochyes That's only a problem if ur opponent exploits it. If he does start checking back medium strength hands that you can call down with. Also you could start bluff raising turns if he starts leading turns wide.

    • @DaggerMan11
      @DaggerMan11 Před 9 lety +3

      iroyaliflush Eh. The math should inform how you play generally, and I think Ivey would be fine with my saying that. He's simply pointing out that there are specific, in-game considerations that should also be taken into account, and that in some cases those considerations should trump mathematical ones.

    • @vivavaldez87
      @vivavaldez87 Před 8 lety +2

      +iroyaliflush Math is only useful when you have close to no information on an opponent, or close to perfect information on an opponent. Everything else in between has to be based on them as a person, not a robot...

    • @d0zeboy
      @d0zeboy Před 2 lety

      Math is overvalued in poker. It's important because it informs some guiding principles and fundamental decision making, but in reality the best players are basing their play off of their opponents and instinct

  • @kylebroussard5952

    You can tell Ivey gets so bored with talking about theory. He's all about what is the player like. Which in cash games, smokes the shit out of GTO at almost any stakes. In my opinion, it also makes the game a lot more fun. Who wants to sit at a table and flip a coin on whether they call or not? What's the player's body language say? What do the past hands you've seen them play tell you they're likely to have in a situation like this? What does the story he is also telling you with his hand say he might have?
    No disrespect to Apotheosis cuz he'd still mop my ass in any game under the Sun.
    When he says, "I think I have to call here..." Phil again sticks to his guns. It's not black and white, it's not just math. This whole game is player dependent. Thanks for the great content, amazing to see how simple he makes the game. Fuck the odds and the stats. They're important to understand, but in cash games it all goes out the window depending on the player, position, and action. If you're playing the most scared player in the world, you should be raising every single hand and C-betting every board, and when you get called proceed with caution - regardless of what some solver tells you to do on each street.
    I think a lot of the new wave of players who crush online tournaments have advanced the game a lot with theory, but that it is mostly for people who are playing millions of hands in tournaments, over a massive sample size of occurrences. For people playing cash, it's totally different. A lot of tournament players I know get mopped in cash... because they're all about push/shove tactics preflop, and tend to play their perceived ranges more than their actual cards, the board, and the other players in the hand - because in tournaments chips don't have the same value over time.
    Great analysis, way to keep the game simple Phil. No need to do calculus in your mind to figure out you should bet with an open ender and middle pair on the button when checked to on the flop against a tight player and maybe check back against an aggressive one.

    Interesting how Phil mentions "how this session is going today" any given day. I know poker is one long game but people's moods can change, sometimes they might be in a more gambl-ey mood, other days more conservative. I used to play with a guy(live) that some days he was an all-out maniac, other days like a totally different player.
    On the J10 hand, I wanted to call so bad when he bet at first but then I though, "hhhmmmm that's a lot" I thought he had a Q or better or a busted draw

      Because Blizerian pays Google to make sure it's the top result. That's standard search engine practice. When you type in "new shoes", the top result isn't the best result for you - it's whichever shoe-manufacturers paid Google the most.

      There's 1 video i watched on his site where he gets quite confrontational with the interviewer who is a rec player. Phil says things like 'well what would you do then' when asked why he would do a certain play, and 'thank god' (not jokingly ) when the interviewer said they were done. The interviewer looked very uncomfortable. He also had videos where he's eating throughout and always looks like he's gonna fall asleep. Phil is the man, but he obviously has 0% passion for coaching/training poker unlike someone like Galfond.
