I once heard a saying. In poker, if you fold the action ends, if you call the action ends, but only if you raise, you can get raised. It's not that you made a mistake by raising, but that you did not prepare for the ONE thing you had to prepare for.
2nd hand was great content. Also, A) Nick's hand was visibly shaking, even CLEARLY noticeable as a viewer, when he bet the $9,000 on the river. B) Excellent fold by Chris. His river raise was kinda bad, but nobody plays perfect. I know it looks like a block bet by Nick but if you raise that bet Nick is never calling with worse than the J Flush, so it's an easy call and a free extra $9k when you're good and you don't blow more money when you're losing. That said, I'm happy for him that he didn't compound his mistake and put the last $20k in when it was clear he was dead. Sometimes in those situations you get so frustrated by your mistake that you level yourself into "having" to do something that you don't and really shouldn't do. It's the sign that he's a talented player that even though he made a mistake and visibly got super tilted by it that he still was able to calm down and fold. 99% of people who make that mistake just tell themselves to call just to see it.
I disagree that river is never a raise. Nick's bet looks like a blocker bet. Nick can DEFINITELY call with a worse hand than a jack high flush. he called 17 k with a pair of threes in the previous hand. This is LUDA CHRIS. dude can potentially be spaz bluffing on any board, he's a maniac. If a nit went for a blocker bet on the river, then Luda chris should just call. Luda chris is a guy with an insane image who is near the top of his range. he has to raise these on the river since he can get called down light a lot.
@@icecold19833 I think he just overbluffs too much. Ironically, since he has gotten the image of a lunatic he hasn't slowed down and reduced his bluff rate/super thin value rate. He'd probably print money if he did.
Such a brutal spot on the river to have to fold for $20k with $150k in the middle. Nick has to have it when he shoves, but mentally it can be tough to fold there.
@@junito1008 Even the nut flush shouldn't be raising there, you're not getting any worse hands to call you and only getting called by better. Dude is just trying to hard to get TV time it's hilarious
@@ilove2qq you dont think lower flushes are calling there? Comon dude. The nut flush should be raising there some of the time, but every other flush should just call. There are just as man combos of other flushes as there are boats here.

It’s a nice lay down that appears easier than it truly is given what had just happened in the previous hand when the bluff catching mitt was on and ready. No matter what there’s that internal tilt.

Nick giving away some live tells here on the river but regardless good solid fold by Chris. As others have mentioned it's hard to understand what Chris is hoping to achieve with this raise. He'll be thinking about this pot for a long time.
Yes. He will definitely.. I don’t think Nick expected a raise on the river. Poor Luda but these are the hands what can make you a better player I guess
16:34 Luda Chris finally realizes at this point that this rivalry is so one sided. NICK never gives equal action, bluffs like Luda and tank calls with the obvious winners etc... not saying Nick is wrong but that Luda finally realizes it at this moment
You can call him a nit all you want, but you can’t deny that he absolutely knows how to push all of Luda’s buttons, and make him make massive mistakes. Nick may be a tight player, but he owns Chris’s soul. It belongs to him. Lol
I think Nick has been setting the stage for these two hands for quite a while. Luda leans towards aggression and Nick knows it and he's been biding his time. The call with just a pair of three's was due to a good read. He knew he had nothing. I once had an almost identical hand and call the guy down with a pair of twos and got the same "wow" response from about three people at the table. It's all about the read.
Nick V made a great call on the first hand. Period!!! When you have a wide open image like Luda does those things happen!!! The 9k sizing on the river looked like a blocker bet with a straight on a paired board and Luda fell for it. It happens. He made a great fold to keep the last 20k. Entertaining hands to watch!!!
I get that Luda dwells in "aggression is best plan" part of a poker profile, which is unquestionably the best take, but that river raise was a spew. That chunky bet on the turn would have anyone playing defensive. Literally the only hand that river raise is targeting is a 5, which isn't likely to value bet in the first place with flush and boat out there, and is basically a bluff catcher.
@@ozrenbalic6051 there's almost none, just 89 and 24. I doubt 24 would likely be played like that. I get that aggressive players need to bet thin, but there's just no where near enough value to justify that play. It's a spew.
Luda 3bets like an absolute maniac in a game where players never fold pre flop so he gets in these spots OOP where he gets all emotional and piles in a ton of $ in to win the pot. Credit to him to have it in him to run bluffs and willing to play massive pots but wow both those hands were painful to watch
A bit more respect goes out now. Also for taking the dicision to ban the cheater. Well done HCL. Now go tell all the casinos in US about that legkicking, shadesmoving, over shoulder glancing cheater.
Don’t know if I missed something but how is he able to go in to his bag to grab calling chips and then put them back after the hand? Isn’t that going south? Idk. Someone explain please lol
nick covers luda, if it was a bad call, he doesnt need to change back the pile of 100's and whatnot. and just pay the 16k with 5k chips. since its a good call, he can put them back, you cant add more chips during a hand
What is Luda calling flop raise with that he 3bet pre? Let's go over some of the possible hands (bluff hands with equity): diamond draws: A2-A6, A8-AK, K9-KQ, QT-QJ, J9-JT, T9, 98 (19 combos) Hands that are calling ahead most of the time: Pairs: 88-AA (not 3 betting pre with 22-66 PROBABLY, gives us 42 combos) Nick is discounting super nutted hands so we wont even go over those. Turn comes 5s. Notice how none of the hands from above interact with the 5s, except A5dd and maybe 98dd, A2dd, A4dd that pick up a gutter ball. Does a half pot bet make much sense with an overpair? Sure, but remember Nick check raised flop and Luda just called, he should be weary of a random 7x holding, so Luda won't always be betting turn unless he's trying to rep either a super nutted hand or a strong overpair, so we are still left with 19 combos of diamond draws and 42 combos of over pairs that may or may not be betting half pot after getting check raised on flop, so let's call it 19 combos of diamonds and 21 combos of pairs because half the time he won't be betting these hands. River come 9h. This completes A9dd, K9dd, J9dd, T9dd, 98dd, and 99. However, would Luda go all in with just a 9? Probably not he would probably just try to get to showdown. Would Luda go all in with an overpair? Probably not again he might just want to get to showdown. So that leaves us with what is Luda going all in with? 14 combos of diamonds and maybe 24 combos of pairs. This gives us around 42% equity to make the call. The half pot jam on the river gives us around 25% equity to be right, so obviously this is a pretty slam dunk call with what we can see. I didn't include any of the spam nutty hands Luda might be doing this with, which would drive that 42% equity up even more. Very good play by Nick here. Curious what others think of my analysis, I'm sure some things are off but this is how I'm thinking about it.
The smallish donkbet on river was a mastery. I am not sure if Nick was fully aware what he was doing, but for Luda it screamed like straight or lower blockbetting. Nice one Sir! On the other hand this minclick on flop was super strong and value-heavy, might have influenced the fold decission on riv. Plus timing - Nick could have had taken some more time, as we would have had with bluffs (if he ever had some here, which I doubt). Overall I am pretty impressed with how Nick evolved.
I was fully aware he would take the bait lol I was bloating the pot because it is hard for him to let it go when the pot is big. And I for sure agree with you I’m kicking myself for not taking more time. That was a mistake for sure. Way too fast.
Why was the guy taking chips out of a bag to make the call? He had lots of chips, and how is he bringing chips in during a hand? Can someone explain what just happened at around 6:15 to 6:30?
greed got to Luda, all he had to do is called the 9K and lose the 9K, especially with a boat on the board, instead, he raised to punish Nick from the hand before, NOT knowing that Nick was trapping him, Luda is NOT a good poker player, I've seen him bluff in the worst of situations, sometimes it works, especially against lousy players, but NEVER against good players
Nick getting a massage while Luda Chris is dying is hilarious 😂

Nick is a “Beast!”
Boss ass fold!!! Bit can we not all appreciate the dramatists of the message!!! That shot had me dying!!!
that end music is what's up man
Great call!
I get that Luda dwells in "aggression is best plan" part of a poker profile, which is unquestionably the best take, but that river raise was a spew. That chunky bet on the turn would have anyone playing defensive. Literally the only hand that river raise is targeting is a 5, which isn't likely to value bet in the first place with flush and boat out there, and is basically a bluff catcher.
A lower flush could call. I would have just called in Luda's shoes, but when you bluff as much as he does, you have to throw in some thin raises.
@@ozrenbalic6051 there's almost none, just 89 and 24. I doubt 24 would likely be played like that. I get that aggressive players need to bet thin, but there's just no where near enough value to justify that play. It's a spew.
Is this the same announcer that announced at TCH live a couple months back?
Nick looked like he was having a great massage there. I trust he tipped well! 😉🤣
Did Nick immediately go south at 7:00?
No, of course not. Those were calling chips.
So, that is how Luda lost $100k.
Amazing hero call.
That Luda guy is gold. Printing money on him 0-24 🤣
Ohhh nit vertucci 😂😂. I’ve seen plenty of videos of him calling light too
Luda 3bets like an absolute maniac in a game where players never fold pre flop so he gets in these spots OOP where he gets all emotional and piles in a ton of $ in to win the pot. Credit to him to have it in him to run bluffs and willing to play massive pots but wow both those hands were painful to watch
I used to think he was pretty good
both are great players....logic over emotion always win.
A bit more respect goes out now. Also for taking the dicision to ban the cheater. Well done HCL. Now go tell all the casinos in US about that legkicking, shadesmoving, over shoulder glancing cheater.
story time?
He also got banned from the Bike lol
Mike postle?
@@NotFakeBlakeSlots seriously? Ouch! He screwed himself big time.
@@Chocobohunter went by the name skillzrocks on the HCL streams. He was doing alot unethical cheating his last time playing.
Bruh the title should be referencing that balls of steel call by Nick V, unreal.
Edit: Ok that final fold is pretty tough too
These guys are good!
Blasts off with Jack high and gets heroed by 3s on a great call
"How do you run so good agents me" haha
I love it when bullies get punished!!! 😆🤣😂😹 LUDA CHRIS ALWAYS TRYING TO RUN OVER THE TABLE. GLAD HE LOST A LOT 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did Nick end up showing at the end?
I haven't watched the second hand yet. but Chris better win this hand
That shake is crazy Nick v you know he has the third nuts
Sick Nick!!!! Wow!
Don’t know if I missed something but how is he able to go in to his bag to grab calling chips and then put them back after the hand? Isn’t that going south? Idk. Someone explain please lol
nick covers luda, if it was a bad call, he doesnt need to change back the pile of 100's and whatnot. and just pay the 16k with 5k chips.
since its a good call, he can put them back, you cant add more chips during a hand
@@nerdheid7306 appreciate the explanation
What is Luda calling flop raise with that he 3bet pre? Let's go over some of the possible hands (bluff hands with equity):
diamond draws: A2-A6, A8-AK, K9-KQ, QT-QJ, J9-JT, T9, 98 (19 combos)
Hands that are calling ahead most of the time:
Pairs: 88-AA (not 3 betting pre with 22-66 PROBABLY, gives us 42 combos)
Nick is discounting super nutted hands so we wont even go over those.
Turn comes 5s. Notice how none of the hands from above interact with the 5s, except A5dd and maybe 98dd, A2dd, A4dd that pick up a gutter ball. Does a half pot bet make much sense with an overpair? Sure, but remember Nick check raised flop and Luda just called, he should be weary of a random 7x holding, so Luda won't always be betting turn unless he's trying to rep either a super nutted hand or a strong overpair, so we are still left with 19 combos of diamond draws and 42 combos of over pairs that may or may not be betting half pot after getting check raised on flop, so let's call it 19 combos of diamonds and 21 combos of pairs because half the time he won't be betting these hands.
River come 9h. This completes A9dd, K9dd, J9dd, T9dd, 98dd, and 99. However, would Luda go all in with just a 9? Probably not he would probably just try to get to showdown. Would Luda go all in with an overpair? Probably not again he might just want to get to showdown. So that leaves us with what is Luda going all in with? 14 combos of diamonds and maybe 24 combos of pairs. This gives us around 42% equity to make the call. The half pot jam on the river gives us around 25% equity to be right, so obviously this is a pretty slam dunk call with what we can see.
I didn't include any of the spam nutty hands Luda might be doing this with, which would drive that 42% equity up even more. Very good play by Nick here. Curious what others think of my analysis, I'm sure some things are off but this is how I'm thinking about it.
He sat up like Bane after winning that😎
Luda on life tilt after the 3,4 amazing
OMG!!! NICK'S THE MAN!!!!
Nice fold G, poker gods see that
I was all nervous and all from just watching lol..
Arent 7s a viable possibility on 35675 as played?
Luda plays crazy maniac style that’s why I always cheer for him to win.
The smallish donkbet on river was a mastery. I am not sure if Nick was fully aware what he was doing, but for Luda it screamed like straight or lower blockbetting. Nice one Sir!
On the other hand this minclick on flop was super strong and value-heavy, might have influenced the fold decission on riv. Plus timing - Nick could have had taken some more time, as we would have had with bluffs (if he ever had some here, which I doubt).
Overall I am pretty impressed with how Nick evolved.
I was fully aware he would take the bait lol
I was bloating the pot because it is hard for him to let it go when the pot is big.
And I for sure agree with you I’m kicking myself for not taking more time. That was a mistake for sure. Way too fast.
Luda Chris put himself in that situation. He could’ve just smooth-called the river bet. He didn’t even have the nut flush.
Did he show?
Why was the guy taking chips out of a bag to make the call? He had lots of chips, and how is he bringing chips in during a hand? Can someone explain what just happened at around 6:15 to 6:30?
Go Nick and Go Bears! 🐻
Perfect Nick
greed got to Luda, all he had to do is called the 9K and lose the 9K, especially with a boat on the board, instead, he raised to punish Nick from the hand before, NOT knowing that Nick was trapping him, Luda is NOT a good poker player, I've seen him bluff in the worst of situations, sometimes it works, especially against lousy players, but NEVER against good players
How do u fold when u are that tilted?
how does nick always win, he works their right
Imagine how sick it would be if Nick was actually bluffing and got the bluff through when opponent folded for 1/8th of the pot 🤣
0% chance of him bluffing in that spot for that mount. He's always expecting to get called.
