  • Antonio Esfandiari is up to his old tricks, laying the trap with his pocket kings after making a massive preflop isolation raise. However, his opponent Darol Rodrock isn't going anywhere. All the money ends up in the middle, with some of it going toward a peculiar deal. What should you do when negotiations like this go down? Let's talk about it.

    Hi guys Doug polk here. Today i'm going to analyse some hands. Don't limp open pre. Now were onto the flop, i don't mind checking, calling, raising or folding here. Throw a dice and make a decision based of that.
    Now we called the flop we gotta call the turn, we also have blockers too 156 different combinations of cards our opponent could have. However i like mixing in a check raise here every now and then.
    Now the river. Ship it regardless of what comes out, you probably block something somehow. scream FOLDDDDDD. That's it for todays polker hands analyse.

  • @DavidMoncrief
    @DavidMoncrief 5 років тому +4

    I think what most people are missing about the Perkins deal here is that it is possible that he has additional information, in this instance if he folded out a jack...he could lay an even line on insurance and be ahead because of his information advantage. It turns out based off of the graphics that he had 9-4, but at the table there is no way of knowing that.
    That's where these deals can get out of hand.

    @samuelrodgers8946 6 років тому +67

    Definitely plus EV for Antonio, and maybe he shouldn't have pushed it that hard, but it's not that outrageous. W/O card removal, he's 6.8 % (3 jacks with 44 in deck). If the graphics are right, that's worth about $5,800 of the $85,200 pot. So he got an extra $4,200. It's a significant premium, but I wouldn't characterize as theft. We all over pay for insurance. That's what keeps insurance companies in business.

    • @patrickgunning1024
      @patrickgunning1024 6 років тому

      72.4% premium is high in my opinion. 36% seems fair to me. Also Doug didn't misquote the equity he adjusted down because it was possible that some of Antonios out had been folded, which he would have no way of knowing weather or not they were

    • @merricktopping9738
      @merricktopping9738 6 років тому +8

      Exactly, why would you factor in something you have no way of knowing is true? That's dumb. If you were to make the dumb assumption that 1 jack was folded at the table, Antonio's odds would actually be at 5.7% or less than 5k EV. If you were make the correct assumption knowing nothing and that the remaining jacks were likely to have been folded 10 out 45 times (players whole cards that are not face up on the table), you would know that there are on average 2.33 jacks remaining in the deck of the remaining 35 cards (which yields ~$5700 EV, not in Doug's quoted range)
      In actuality, we know that there was no jack that was folded, so you could factor that in (though you wouldn't know this or factor it in if you were making), putting Antonio's true percentage of winning at 8.6% (around $7300 EV, giving Bill Perkins a negative EV deal haha)
      What actually would be a smart play is doing what Bill Perkins did, but having actually folded a jack (or maybe even two).
      Lastly, you could argue that the guy paid too high for a premium, but the fact that he turned down a competitive offer to make the deal makes this move unjustifiable.

  • @fpsballin
    @fpsballin 6 років тому +1

    Without factoring in the folded dead cards it's 3 outs out of 44 unseen cards for (3/44)*85200=5809.09. From Bill Perkins's perspective it is (3/42)*85200=6085.71 so his offer of 6000 is pretty on the mark. If we factor in all the dead folded cards it's (3/34)*85200=7517.65. Not sure if it's standard practice in a situation like this for the others at the table to reveal if they folded a Jack preflop. If a player knows they folded a Jack preflop they could offer insurance at a significantly lower fee.

    Perfect negotiating skills by Antonio imo. He knew that he had around 6% equity so he started way above that so he can drop down. If your target is 7k you don't start the negotiation at 7k...Fortunately for him the other guy accepted right away. You could argue for an angle if Antonio proposed the deal knowing that the rec would not know his equity but Perkins did so gg for him!

  • @kevinkane5595
    @kevinkane5595 6 років тому +7

    Equity on turn is (3/44)*$85,200 = $5,810 So that $6k offer from Perkins looks right on; offering to take the risk for $180. However, the offer was made by a player (Perkins) that knew he didn’t have a Jack, preflop so actually the math changes to (3/42)*$85,200 = $6,086 which means he is loosing $86 equity and also taking the risk. Note, if the insurance offering player had fold a single Jack preflop, then they could offer insurance at anything above (2/42)*$85,200 = $4,058.

      Actually neither of those hands can turn or river the nuts, unless it's running quads. Plus, JJ also blocks JT, another potential bluffing hand the opponent might have. I just think this is a spot where Doug got it wrong. I'm not being a hater, it's just his argument in this video doesn't make any sense. I suspect if we dig really deep, the ATs might have been a better call than the KK, since it has a set blocker, could improve to the nuts, and did not block any of the bluffs. JJ and QQ seem like clear folds to me with KK and AA being borderline, but probable folds against this guy.

  • @mmasters180
    @mmasters180 5 років тому +1

    Are you sure you want to bet the flop from Rodrock's position? It kind of turns the hand fairly face up polarised range of T9s, 77, 99, or TT+, with a few combos of J8s, two combos of 97s, and with the odd KJ or QJ - all very strong hands that overs don't do much good against. There are no one-card flush draws to represent or be paid off by, and there's not much else going on to incentivize continuance.
    Add to that the fact that Rodrock only has an SPR of 3, he only needs two streets of value to stack off - or one if he can check-raise the flop. The only nasty turns for him are 6, 8, Jacks, and Queens - and with the Jacks and 8s blocked out the turn will brick fairly often or improve a hand behind enough of the time to give big action. Essentially, even if the flop got checked around, he could go for a probe bet/ call Esfandiari's probe bet on most turns.
    As for the deal, I 100% agree - Sklansky dollars for equity is the only fair way to negotiate these kinds of situations, but even then it's rarely a good idea for most players who have no idea what their equity actually is. Personally, I would be very against negotiations like that but be much more inclined to change the number of runouts for future cards if possible: if both players agree, equity is more or less maintained (discounting variance). If not, nobody loses any more or less than they were already going to.

    @stt5v2002 6 років тому

    Good advice about not taking deals from people who are better at deal making that you are. I don't think that Antonio should be faulted from offering an unfair deal. First of all, he suggested a round number and may not have instantly calculated the numbers in his head. But even if he did, think about what you are doing when you try to win at poker. You are trying to get your opponent to pay more than his hand is worth! The entire point of the game is to get the other player to take an unfair deal where he gives you more money that he would if he knew (and cared about) his exact equity. This situation was a verbal deal, which is not usual, but when the amateur had the nuts he did exactly the same thing by making an $18000 bet.

  • @MrCarseallday
    @MrCarseallday 5 років тому +1

    10k is actually a pretty good deal. It is a mistake to think that 6k (the expected loss for Rodrock) is the right price to pay. If rodrock were risk neutral he’d be indifferent to taking a deal of 6k and playing out the hand. But the fact that he is eager to buy insurance from esfandiari implies he is risk averse. He is willing to pay a risk premium for that. Forgetting risk aversion for a second, if he wanted to maximize the expected growth rate of his bank roll, it’s conceivable he’d be willing to pay Esfandiari 8-10k. Depends on his bank roll though

  • @npip99

    Poker is about exploiting opponents weaknesses. If deals are allowed in these games then exploiting the opponents lack of equity knowledge is totally fair. It's poker FFS! Antonio's offer was well within the spirit of the game.

  • @Mitjitsu
    @Mitjitsu Рік тому

    In this day and age it's not hard to whip out a phone and check your equity before getting into a negotiation. I keep an equity chart on my phone so would know I have a 6.5% of getting sucked out on. If you're another player at the table offering insurance the best time to do it is when you know you've folded their opponents outs. So you can offer something at or very close to the true equity. Knowing full well you've negotiated a highly favourable deal.

    I feel there is some huge implied odds when someone is all in. Risking a brand new buy in, for like $50k is easily worth putting off while pocketing 75k for an amuater. Playing huge stakes against much better players the goal is always not to rebuy.

    • @JD0586
      @JD0586 2 роки тому

      If that's your goal in playing poker, might be time to pick a different game. Regardless of stake sizes or competition, I'd never sit down to a poker table if my goal was Not to rebuy. If that's a main concern or goal, a change of stakes should be in consideration.
      Just seems kind of counter productive to expect to win if you're playing with that mindset.

  • @ericknight2934
    @ericknight2934 3 роки тому +1

    I'm fairly sure he got paid double... 20k
    because he took the 10k out of his stack and not the pot... then antonio made the dealer count his stack (to be paid) AFTER he took the 10k out... so antonio paid 10k LESS on top of getting the 10k out of his stack

  • @mscolli3
    @mscolli3 6 років тому

    Did anyone notice he gave Antonio chips from his OWN stack? They were negotiating 10k from the pot - by giving him 10k that Antonio hasn't matched yet he actually gave Antonio 20k "from the pot" since Antonio didn't have to match it in the final tally.

    I disagree with you last point Doug. Deal are a part of live games and rec players shouldn't have extra protection of even be sitting with pro players if they are bad enough to need your advice here. However, what made it a lil unethical for me is Antonio not matching Perks $6k offer and pretty much robbing him of the extra $4k there (not that he worked a better deal for himself than the equity would suggest. That in fact is an underrated skill of his in a live game). By the way did you see Bill Perkins sitting front row at the Rockets playoff game against the Warriors a couple weeks ago lol??
