Daniel negreanu has been my favorite poker player since i started watching and playing poker back in 2003-2004 when moneymake and gregg raymer won the wsop and made poker way more famous. it only took a few months of watching before it became clear that daniel was on a different level than ALL of the other players. have been a big fan ever since. Daniel, u are an inspiration.
You were the man on TV that first got me interested in playing poker. You, David Sklansky, Dan Harrington and Johnathan Little have helped refine my game. And Greg Merson was the man who inspired me in all aspects of life, not just poker, to NEVER give up or despair. I still struggle with the despair part, but I never give up. Thank you so much for this almost 20 year journey so far, Daniel, and thank you for continuing to teach me. Peace, DNegs.
This is honestly the best video I have watched that you made. These observations you made are spot on to what I have been noticing are good check raise spots. Especially the part where you mention having backdoor flush and straight draws/overcards to continue. Also having a give up range when you don't hit those backdoors.
Daniel, this is one of the best, most insightful coaching videos, you have made. Looking forward to more of those. Thank you and GL in your next tournaments, I will be watching you on PokerGO :)
@dnegspoker First, I absolutely love your content and thought process ❤ I have tried a few training sites, but none have really hit home singularly. I try to use a mixture of strategies in the same scenario on particular flop, turn, and river textures. I've also read a lot of different strategies and I'm refining and condensing those into my own unique strategy. It's still ongoing, but it seems to be working. I went from low 20s to 39% tournament cashes/ wins. I truly listen to what you say bc I know you're great!!! Much love. I'll see you on the felt one day soon.
Great video, and appreciate sorting out the lighting issue. Great content as always. I like the CR at the low stakes bounty tournaments I play because the weak loose aggressive players there which make up the bulk it seems see it as a challenge and will regularly dump the entire stack in with only top pair... which makes me playing most trips, 2 pair, and some combo flush/straight hand plenty of bounties. Like everything though - do it too often and it becomes exploitable. Cheers!
two big successful adjustments I've made in my game, folding alot more, and playing certain hands in position, when Im getting the price Im comfortable with. especially when Im on the button or 1 behind. I now play hands like 9-J os, and 8-7 suited. Thank you Daniel, not just for this video but for all the wisdom over many years.
Anybody getting into poker has to watch this video. It makes so much sense, and when you’re somebody who actually plays for money instead of a fake currency online poker, this kind of wisdom is real.
I don't understand why you would specifically do or not do something, why something is 'out of fashion' or 'making a comeback'. You should have as many weapons in your arsenal as possible, to make it incredibly difficult for opponents to read you. It should be all about choosing the right play in the right situation, regardless of whether or not a move is considered 'fashionable'.
Iagree, i think he's just addressing a trend. i take pride in the fact that my opponents say they never know what i have , i give up some value but sometimes bluffing with the nuts really throws them for a loop.
Ahhh💡 What a GREAT question… the truth is… There is no one solution… Most of the GTO strategies that these elite pros rely on is complete BS!! Reason being… Humans cannot be solved… So this summer… when all these elite pros wonder how the hell LAMBO is crushing every field, they will realize I am making my decisions based on the present 👍🏽👍🏽 Which requires a lot of attention to detail and a basic understanding of the fundamentals. - LAMBO
Love the mention of limit. You and I played a few times in the 90s in Toronto, underground clubs - where every other club owner's name was Sam. Simpler times and even simpler opponents. ;)
Wouldn't it be interesting if some of these streams played a little limit now and then , i'm kinda new to poker and never played limit, i haven't seen it played either, must be interesting playing limit " high stakes".
I think it's really great when someone highly successful in his chosen field reaches out to help others learn. I follow you and a few others and have found my game has improved immensely. Last weekend I took second after 9 hours in a 100 person NL tournament and was really proud of myself.....even if I choked at the end after starting heads up with over twice the amount of chips. I find your enthusiasm and outlook on life to be highly motivating. But I'm never going vegan! 🙂
Daniel. I love your blog. I love your play. You are one of the best, ever. Period. When i play, its all about my opponent. I never have a strategy. Because im always trying to read who im up against. Its all about what my intuition is telling me to do. I'm sure that you can relate and understand that. How about a lesson on that one of these days?
I love how clearly you can break down these analytical concepts and strategic ideas. Poker isn't mechanical, so I need practise to apply this correctly, but I feel I have the conceptual framework now to practice and learn how to employ and respond to the flop check-raise.
I used Check raised in the past as a tool to end hands on the flop. Usually when I have a set on a very wet board or huge draws. Where yes, I want to end the hand on the flop, still has a huge chance to hit big and win a huge pot. Now I mixed that with my check raise position when Im ahead with a good read to build a huge pot. That's on the flop, but in the river I use it as a bluff at times where I don't check jam as that is too polarized but check raising a good amount to act like I want a call. It's a good weapon to have in poker of knowing where and when to check raise but it is definitely one that can hurt your stack if it backfires. It shouldn't be used over 50% of the time you are in a hand as it becomes too obvious. Although It's one of the best to make money when you have a great read.
Really outstanding video. I think you have a great skill of combining theory and exploit. My impression is you really got into the to GTO lab a few years ago to battle with the newer high stakes player and especially in your heads up challenge with Doug Polk. Your weaving of range, balance, and sizing concepts with self and opponent awareness in this video is the outstanding. Many thanks for the content.
Really good shit. As a poker pro and semi-casual consumer of poker coaching content, this is way way way above average stuff here. And it really blows away anyone just using solver output.
As someone with only the barest grasp on poker terminology, this video made no sense to me. For some reason I still watched the entire video. This man is just fun to listen to.
My parents taught me how to play when I was 7, I’m about to be 27. I’ve been playing for 20 years in one way or another. Check raising has always been in my inventory. I never really knew that it was dying.
I have found that a bet the size of the small blind or the big blind.If that's the minimum tends to provoke a lot more flop.Bluffs on top pair an overpair or bottom set. That also means having the nuts and a mid-range.Hand gets the same behavior which means people can misread me more often.
kudos to dan for being more than relevant even up to the present day, i only got to see guys like doyle Brunson when they were older, it;s gonna be cool to see dan as the old guy at the table in 40 years . He'll be like the rolling stones, 80 years old and still called "Kid" poker.
Daniel, I played in a free tournament a while ago. I had a very aggressive opponent, who raised every single hand. I knew his style I had pocket tens under the gun he raised, and the player that was folding every single hand re-raised all in. I looked at my tens and decided that they were no good. The aggressor had ace five off suit, and the guy that was folding every single hand had pocket kings. Of course he hit the set on the river and I was happy I saved money
Well that was a master class, just pure gold. You really made my brain hurt tonight, in a good way! 😊 I feel like there should be a college curriculum involving poker theory... You'd be the perfect guy to write the lesson plans.
You mentioned in the example at 3:27 that we 'defended the big blind', which means an opponent raised pre-flop. You mentioned that raising after our opponent's c-bet 'for value' here was "thin", but isn't it closer to "ill-advised"? Unless we've already identified our opponent as a big bluffer or very aggressive, what is their range that we beat? Their pre-flop raise might be because of ANY pocket pair, but now that they see a K on the flop (when we defended big blind), can they "reasonably" bet on QQ, JJ, etc? Maybe we're lucky and they have K-10, but they could just as easily have A-K or K-Q. I guess it if one "never" raises here, one is then more defined, which is bad. Again, the value just seems damned thin. I'm new to poker, interested in any feedback. Thanks
Pro Tip: If you are watching this video to learn how to check raise more effectively you probably are not playing against competition that you want to attempt to make them fold an over pair on the river. Save that shit for when you have graduated to watching videos on river bluff to value ratios and counting river combos.
Hey Daniel I’d love to hear a video about donking. It’s something that’s always bothered me because I feel stuck in my ways of “he shouldn’t be betting, I have the betting lead!” - I’d love to know the difference between a good donk and a bad donk, and what the general theory is behind it.
so, this is true - I learned it on a Crime show, maybe "Numbers", anyhow, A person's perception of random is not random at all, they make patterns. I couldn't help but hear those lines when you were talking about randomising check/raise frequency. interesting Video- I like learning new ideas and hearing why we need to do 'this or that'.😏
Ok this was one of the more realistic guides for your audience. You’re one of my favorite players but at times I won’t watch content because it’s more in line with your normal higher stakes that doesn’t resonate with me. Honestly, something I’d love to see is you reviewing req players content hands and providing expert analysis. Like even collaborating with other content creators in lower stakes and overviewing their analytics with your expert opinions resonates with 90% of your followers.
I like 4:08 part of the video when Daniel's face is in a bubble over the board. It's the same way I visualize Daniel's face when I'm in the tank about to call off a river shove with my top pair jack kicker and he's sceaming "FOLD YOU DONKEY"
Hey Daniel. Love your content, have been devouring since I've started playing poker again this year (and won a couple of tournaments locally, which has been great). Can you do a video on character building on the table? How to navigate your reputation, when to, if ever, show a hand after someone folded. I'm very interested in the soft part of poker, the theatre, the people skills, in which I think you're very good. Cheers from a Brazilian in Australia.
1) I'm seeing these videos because I've been listening to Bey's new album a lot and youtube is confused 2) This video convinced me that poker is a more skilled game than I thought it was.
Check call should done majority of the time at position and at a trap. I used to check raise on the flop with top pair once I have made a reputation on the table that I'm playing right premium hands. All these moves should always be considered of your current reputation on the table. It should always be situationals. I have never played on style in any session, I always switch it up throughout my session. Usually a move to the opposite of the current majority style on the table. If the table has been more aggressive I tend to be more tight and when the table slows down, I go aggressive.
You looking great as usual sucker. Best Wishes Homie. This was actually very informative in general. Really appreciate how the best in the world still bothers to explain such basic concepts in depth to us heathens using plain English and no math.
Great video🎉🎉 very relevant to mid stakes games. I love gerting to hear how u think through these spots. I can probably watch this 5 times over a month , and see how many time a week these spots come during that month. Alway apritiate how technology has allowed me to learn from the best players on the planet, and u ate certainly atbthe top of thay list. Thanks alot !!
I don't understand the big blind is the last person to either raise or check to see the turn. So how do they check raise? I'm assuming check raise means you a check and as it goes around the table somebody else bets and then when he gets back to you not only do you call but then you raised that's what I think it means that not how it is?
Love the video great explanation I try to check raise mostly with newer players what is your opinion on check raising with newer player verse pros on a first hand without knowing their style?
What you are describing is true at 1/2 and 2/5 in South Florida on Thursday daytime, which is the only time I play anymore :'-) It might be true at 1/3 or 5/10 but those games don't seem to run when I'm there.
Some players do just get lucky though, for eg. I played AK, flop comes its something like 3 4 9 rainbow, guy has been aggressive all game so i know hes gonna bet no matter, bets pretty big but not enough, so I raise and he calls so im thinking hes either got top pair on flop which is 9 or hes going for a straight next card comes Q, so i bet half the pot, ive been playing only strong hands to this point so he must have me on atleast Q or a pocket pair and he goes all in which makes me think hes trying to bluff or he had a straight draw and now hes basically drawing dead and I have triple his chips so i just wanna see if im correct, he flips a 5,2 off suit and im like i knew it, great call by me, last card flips and his bloody 6 comes up, so annoying when you feel like you did eveything correct only to be kicked in the nuts on the river now in my head im thinking like wtf who the hell plays like that, a Q comes up which takes the pair of 9 off the board you only have 1 card left to make a straight and you all in on a raise when up to this point you have nothing and lose to anything higher than 6 just on a high card and you get like 1.6 percent chance that a 6 comes up and strike lucky, the brain cells of these people baffle me.
Hey man!!! I'll be playing in Toronto for the WSOP!!!! I really hope I can get a picture with you haha... looking forward to seeing you at the final table of the main event ;)
446 I'm check raising 85s 73s 53s 75s. If the turn card is 8 or lower I'm betting turn and blasting river. If it's a player who will call me with over pairs on river I give up. If they fold over pairs on river I'm 100% committed to stacking off or over betting them off the hand
You didn't cover boards where they check raise on a board where you have range advantage. For eg. hero AQ flop A 10 7 C-Bet, villian check raises, hero calls turn 5 opponent bets. I'm assuming this is a fold but how would you proceed?
4:10 why is betting the worst decision? I would think check-call is by far the worst. It gives you no information...maybe the guy just tried to take a stab at it. A reason to bet out: the guy already gave up and you could have taken it down there and then with a little bet, but instead you give a free card and they donk you on the turn.
Because you most likely have the best hand…. Why telegraph that I have the best hand and just end it there, give them rope to bluff and call and reassess on turb based on how they play
Thats way too clever not to have any likes after 3 days . BRAVO! unless we're not on the same page, either way , if it's that wet i suppose you could just sort of glide in .
I wouldn't think in tournaments with shallow stacks three bet bluffing would usually be a good idea. However I do see (what I think are) good players get into these pissing matches, creating huge pots, putting their tournament at risk, then turing over king high, and then loosing to a held small bottom pair. At that point I think to myself, how or why did this pot get so big with basically nothing. I get the fight or flight thing but often it just seems unnecessary, but then again what are you going to do in the big blind to a player who just can't help themselves?
Daniel, I love your vlogs! But more importantly I am hoping to see you on Traitors, steaming on a Peacock! You would be fantastic on that show! If you haven’t seen it, please take a look! I know you enjoy reality tv, this show is THE one you need to do!
What would be the best place to pratice poker? I play online only for now but i want to switch to live. How can i make a smooth transition between the 2? Love from Montréal ❤
Hi Daniel, i am Romanian also and i have been trying to win a big-ish tournament to make the budget for an expensive short film i want to make as an independent film maker and been recently to a tournament. Mid stage i was chip leader at my table and this new guy joins the table absolutely killing the table with check raise. One hand there is a preflop raiser, I call with 4/5 suited of clubs, and this new guy calls as well. Flop comes jack,9 and 7 of clubs. The raiser bets, new guy reraise so i'm thinking the guy is bluffing or got trips so i reraise big to eliminate possible one club flush draw the preflop raiser might have and the new guy reraises me all in. the preflop raiser is gone and i call. the new guy had a bigger flash with queen/ten of clubs...was it a mistake to call his all-in? he had a little less chips than me so second chip leader.
Daniel negreanu has been my favorite poker player since i started watching and playing poker back in 2003-2004 when moneymake and gregg raymer won the wsop and made poker way more famous. it only took a few months of watching before it became clear that daniel was on a different level than ALL of the other players. have been a big fan ever since.

"It's making a comeback"...meaning, thanks to this video, every mope at my 1-3 table is going to be check raising the flop tonight.
See ya there!
@@yesicanu :)
That's good for u :)
re-raise the check raise

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.......excellent video. I enjoy when you're in teaching mode.
Wow! Great video....please, give us more of these. thanks so much
The idea just came to me to discuss the latest trends, when a new one pops up, I'll cover it
@dnegspoker First, I absolutely love your content and thought process ❤ I have tried a few training sites, but none have really hit home singularly.

This format of video is fantastic. I hope you will do more.
Great video, and appreciate sorting out the lighting issue. Great content as always.
I like the CR at the low stakes bounty tournaments I play because the weak loose aggressive players there which make up the bulk it seems see it as a challenge and will regularly dump the entire stack in with only top pair... which makes me playing most trips, 2 pair, and some combo flush/straight hand plenty of bounties. Like everything though - do it too often and it becomes exploitable.

Really like this longer video lecture style !
two big successful adjustments I've made in my game, folding alot more, and playing certain hands in position, when Im getting the price Im comfortable with. especially when Im on the button or 1 behind.

Things become ‘less fashionable’ when others realise how to play against it but ur right learning more skills to be more unpredictable is good

@user-gx2yy1df6f isnt "bluffing with the nuts" an oxymoron?
As the average players strategies change, the best plays against them also change.
Love the mention of limit. You and I played a few times in the 90s in Toronto, underground clubs - where every other club owner's name was Sam. Simpler times and even simpler opponents. ;)
no we didn't
Still the case w club owners lol
Much of my strategy in all games comes directly from my years playing limit hold'em
Learning from you is great thank you 😊
Wouldn't it be interesting if some of these streams played a little limit now and then , i'm kinda new to poker and never played limit, i haven't seen it played either, must be interesting playing limit " high stakes".
Great video breaking down how to read check raises. Definitely made sense with these situational positions.

You are welcome
D, i didnt want to like you 23 years ago but, you always impressed me and still fail to disappoint.. really appreciate all the time you give us
Really good shit. As a poker pro and semi-casual consumer of poker coaching content, this is way way way above average stuff here. And it really blows away anyone just using solver output.
Whats your thoughts on checking turn after check raising flop?
Also potentially mix in some check raising on turn
Grateful for this video. You discuss much more than just what the title implies. You really got into all post-flop action.
Thanks Daniel! Always a pleasurer!. Really like the new optics!
As someone with only the barest grasp on poker terminology, this video made no sense to me. For some reason I still watched the entire video. This man is just fun to listen to.

I like to check raise with air on a rainbow paired board from the blinds..it’s very hard for them to discount you have the set/trips
Really really good stuff Daniel... This is definitely something I don't do enough of.
Pro Tip: If you are watching this video to learn how to check raise more effectively you probably are not playing against competition that you want to attempt to make them fold an over pair on the river.

Would absolutely love the opportunity to talk poker with you for 30 minutes, but videos like these are a great consolation.
seems like Alan Keating is an exception to everything he said, interesting that he does everything he said you dont do and still manages to play well.

And now I am going to get check raised ever other hand. Thanks Daniel!
It is scary, like dan said, make sure you got some equity if you're going to continue.
I played in six different casinos in two states and one country [California] four months ago, I encountered check raising quite a bit.
I remember when I first studied using a solver a few years ago I was surprised with what hands u want to c/r the flop with

Great video Dnegs!! Fuck the haters!! A lot of people give up on turn and I will exploit that often with bluffs
1) I'm seeing these videos because I've been listening to Bey's new album a lot and youtube is confused
2) This video convinced me that poker is a more skilled game than I thought it was.
How do you apply this to cash games? Is it worth fighting for the pot as much when time is on your side and blinds stay the same?
I'd say it depends what your goal is, to climb the pay ladder or play to win.
Another excellent vid! When are you coming out with another book Daniel?
No one reads anymore 🙂
Check call should done majority of the time at position and at a trap.
I used to check raise on the flop with top pair once I have made a reputation on the table that I'm playing right premium hands.
All these moves should always be considered of your current reputation on the table. It should always be situationals. I have never played on style in any session, I always switch it up throughout my session. Usually a move to the opposite of the current majority style on the table. If the table has been more aggressive I tend to be more tight and when the table slows down, I go aggressive.
I very much enjoyed this🎉🎉 thank you DNegs!
I noticed no one using this at the two card clubs I go to and re implemented it into my strategy very effectively.
You looking great as usual sucker.
Best Wishes Homie.
This was actually very informative in general.
Really appreciate how the best in the world still bothers to explain such basic concepts in depth to us heathens using plain English and no math.
Great stuff man. Love it. Still my all time fav player
Great video🎉🎉 very relevant to mid stakes games. I love gerting to hear how u think through these spots. I can probably watch this 5 times over a month , and see how many time a week these spots come during that month. Alway apritiate how technology has allowed me to learn from the best players on the planet, and u ate certainly atbthe top of thay list. Thanks alot !!
I like the reference to a feeler bet that at one point not long ago Daniel said wasn't a thing anymore, yet here it is...😂
It'll always be part of my game. lots of people will fold to any bet and if not , well now i know where i stand .
Looking forward to your thoughts on those poker tournament courses that you mentioned and the value you think each one brings!
Always love these videos even though I haven’t played in months
Thank you sir!! You’re an amazing player !!
I don't understand the big blind is the last person to either raise or check to see the turn. So how do they check raise? I'm assuming check raise means you a check and as it goes around the table somebody else bets and then when he gets back to you not only do you call but then you raised that's what I think it means that not how it is?
Very helpful video Daniel! Thank you! 😀💰👍
What else would I do? Just fold or call ever continuation bet?
Thanks for doing this, really great conversation
Love the video great explanation I try to check raise mostly with newer players what is your opinion on check raising with newer player verse pros on a first hand without knowing their style?
See you at WSOP Toronto !! Let’s go
What you are describing is true at 1/2 and 2/5 in South Florida on Thursday daytime, which is the only time I play anymore :'-)
It might be true at 1/3 or 5/10 but those games don't seem to run when I'm there.
Some players do just get lucky though, for eg. I played AK, flop comes its something like 3 4 9 rainbow, guy has been aggressive all game so i know hes gonna bet no matter, bets pretty big but not enough, so I raise and he calls so im thinking hes either got top pair on flop which is 9 or hes going for a straight next card comes Q, so i bet half the pot, ive been playing only strong hands to this point so he must have me on atleast Q or a pocket pair and he goes all in which makes me think hes trying to bluff or he had a straight draw and now hes basically drawing dead and I have triple his chips so i just wanna see if im correct, he flips a 5,2 off suit and im like i knew it, great call by me, last card flips and his bloody 6 comes up, so annoying when you feel like you did eveything correct only to be kicked in the nuts on the river now in my head im thinking like wtf who the hell plays like that, a Q comes up which takes the pair of 9 off the board you only have 1 card left to make a straight and you all in on a raise when up to this point you have nothing and lose to anything higher than 6 just on a high card and you get like 1.6 percent chance that a 6 comes up and strike lucky, the brain cells of these people baffle me.
Hey man!!! I'll be playing in Toronto for the WSOP!!!! I really hope I can get a picture with you haha... looking forward to seeing you at the final table of the main event ;)
446 I'm check raising 85s 73s 53s 75s. If the turn card is 8 or lower I'm betting turn and blasting river. If it's a player who will call me with over pairs on river I give up. If they fold over pairs on river I'm 100% committed to stacking off or over betting them off the hand
I actually enjoy 3-betting flops versus aggro check/raisers on rare occasions. I think it works pretty well if done carefully.
Most charismatic and entertaining player in the world and good for Canada.
Great Video TY Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You didn't cover boards where they check raise on a board where you have range advantage. For eg. hero AQ flop A 10 7 C-Bet, villian check raises, hero calls turn 5 opponent bets. I'm assuming this is a fold but how would you proceed?
Low stakes, 1/3 no limit
U look down at pocket kings
Villain pushes you all in for 180 preflop.
What would you do?
Brilliant Daniel, Thank you!!!
Hey Daniel, A great tips and I need more tips, You are a great Poker Player and a great person too.
4:10 why is betting the worst decision? I would think check-call is by far the worst. It gives you no information...maybe the guy just tried to take a stab at it. A reason to bet out: the guy already gave up and you could have taken it down there and then with a little bet, but instead you give a free card and they donk you on the turn.
Because you most likely have the best hand…. Why telegraph that I have the best hand and just end it there, give them rope to bluff and call and reassess on turb based on how they play
Dan, when someone bets, when would it be a good spot to min-raise?
When people do it to me, it is terrifying
Do you know you have 1 ‘tell’ and I seem to be the only one who knows it 😂
Ps you’re my favourite player ever
So, if the board is really wet, I should just jam?
Thats way too clever not to have any likes after 3 days . BRAVO! unless we're not on the same page, either way , if it's that wet i suppose you could just sort of glide in .
Haha
I look forward to the course reviews. May we please have a new house tour, Amanda and the puppies, please, please, please? 🙏
You will when the VLOGS start back up
Hey, DNegs, any thoughts on Balatro?
Dam, your hair is making a comeback Daniel! Looks great.
Love the videos! Recommend a mic so it doesn’t echo
implementing the checkraise on low paired boards immediately
I wouldn't think in tournaments with shallow stacks three bet bluffing would usually be a good idea. However I do see (what I think are) good players get into these pissing matches, creating huge pots, putting their tournament at risk, then turing over king high, and then loosing to a held small bottom pair. At that point I think to myself, how or why did this pot get so big with basically nothing. I get the fight or flight thing but often it just seems unnecessary, but then again what are you going to do in the big blind to a player who just can't help themselves?
Can someone explain why, as DN says at 4:08, you always check with KJ on that board and never bet?
I’m not exactly sure either. Maybe so you don’t scare off the pre flop raiser?
Daniel, I love your vlogs! But more importantly I am hoping to see you on Traitors, steaming on a Peacock! You would be fantastic on that show! If you haven’t seen it, please take a look! I know you enjoy reality tv, this show is THE one you need to do!
What would be the best place to pratice poker? I play online only for now but i want to switch to live. How can i make a smooth transition between the 2? Love from Montréal ❤
No Triton Jeju this year Dnegs? Wouldn't have been cool to see you play there
Over c/r players rarely can defend v turn barrels the times they just call. Hoping Daniel points this out.
Thank you, Daniel. Huge!!
Hi Daniel, i am Romanian also and i have been trying to win a big-ish tournament to make the budget for an expensive short film i want to make as an independent film maker and been recently to a tournament. Mid stage i was chip leader at my table and this new guy joins the table absolutely killing the table with check raise. One hand there is a preflop raiser, I call with 4/5 suited of clubs, and this new guy calls as well. Flop comes jack,9 and 7 of clubs. The raiser bets, new guy reraise so i'm thinking the guy is bluffing or got trips so i reraise big to eliminate possible one club flush draw the preflop raiser might have and the new guy reraises me all in. the preflop raiser is gone and i call. the new guy had a bigger flash with queen/ten of clubs...was it a mistake to call his all-in? he had a little less chips than me so second chip leader.
This was excellent. Nice work
i love da attitude of Daniel, his ego so small at da table = thats why he is da best in my eyes! DANIEL GREETINGS FROM AMSTERDAM!!!!
I play 1/3 & 2/5 .... in casino... do I still try the check Raise on flop... 3 or 4 handed??
4 handed ?, ouch !
