It's the right call, Bart and Shirley, if he makes the +EV decision.

That is VERY objective in a heads-up NL situation like that.

Wow, My respect for JRB has gone up infinite times. What a great play by him.

It doesn't matter that PL called him on his semi-bluff, JRB isn't behind that far against 99-QQ

Board: Kh 7h 3s
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 43.9899 % 43.99% 00.00% { Ah8h }
Hand 2: 56.0101 % 56.01% 00.00% { QQ-99 }


Even if PL NEVER folds, JRB still made the correct play due to the 3K already in the pot, so basically he's putting in 8k to win 11k (roughly, 1.375 to 1 odds) on a 1.27 to 1 dog.


So great play by JRB.

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

The interesting question is this:

If Phil pushes on the flop -- does he get called?

I think so. I think Jean Robert will be thinking, "Damn, all in? Well, I got the nut flush draw plus an ace. My ace might not be good but it might be good. But I got the nut flush draw. And this pot is pretty big. I want to look good and bust Phil with this hand, esp on Live at the Bike. I will have a monster stack if I win and if I lose these players will know not to push me around. Wow. Yeah I call this [censored]!"

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

Is it incorrect to make a call if you are up big for the night when not technically getting pot odds? I can't imagine it is correct. (this is not in reference to Bellande's call but just a general question)

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (12/21) (50/100 NL with Phil La
 

This is with PL having TP/Set/AA

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 40.1321 % 40.13% 00.00% { Ah8h }
Hand 2: 59.8679 % 59.87% 00.00% { 99+, AKs, AKo }


So, yeah... only play there is, is all-in.

Yes. If he knows how to do the math, JRB would beat him in the pot. Just read my posts.

what kind of strategy is that with JJ ???

Smooth call, fold to one over and 1/2 pot bet HEADS UP?

I don't get it, is he trying to flop a set with every pair.

You gotta play it strong sometime.

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

JRB has broken Phil's spirit. Sad to watch.

If Phil has any friends there, they should tell him to just pick up his chips and go home. He's not going to win today playing JJ against a LAG like that.

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

Sounds like JRB needs a drink with an umbrella.

boy - I am slow tonight.
No I mean let's say I'm up big for the night and someone pulls a Bellande move on me and I like my hand but technically I'm not getting the odds to call - I'm supposed to lay down right? not just call cause I'm up big for the night? Kinda a stupid question but in general, never ever go against the math right??

I just don't understand that strategy. He's deep enough to reraise preflop and reraise on the flop.

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

Pineapple, Cranberry, with a Splash of Malibu rum. Good times JRB.

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

WTF???

Cold calls 2K with an UNDERPAIR to the board, folds the turn ?

Re: Daniel N and full contact poker
 

46K so far 2nite? Yikes!

That'll buy a lot of girlie drinks.

Heck, that'll buy a lot of girlies!

JBR secret is crossing his legs while at the table. Also Hasan Habib was spot on that JRB would crush these types of tables. Therefore Hasan Habib has fixed the game.
