  • Cliff "Johnny Bax" Josephy is living every poker player's dream. He's down to the final three in the World Series of Poker Main Event, he just flopped a set, and a massive pot is brewing. There's just one problem. His opponent, Gordon Vayo, is showing tremendous strength himself. With his tournament life on the line, and millions of dollars at stake, is there any way he can get away from this?
    As always, Doug Polk breaks down each street of action. Poker Hands is the show where Doug analyzes live poker hands from tv poker shows such as Poker After Dark, EPT (European Poker Tour), High Stakes Poker, the Aussie Millions, WPT (World Poker Tour) the Big One For One Drop, and the PCA (Pokerstars Carribean Adventure). He especially enjoys reviewing hands by big name pros like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan, Dan Colman, Antonio Esfandiari, Viktor "Isildur" Blom, Dan "Jungleman" Cates, and Phil Hellmuth.

    Because your name is Polk, and that sounds like poker, ever considered calling this series "Doug's Hands"?

    Josephy made himself look like such an ass when he had his wife bring him the cap and dark glasses, and suddenly tried to start intimidating Qui ... but it backfired spectacularly. Should have put his ego to one side and carried on doing what he'd been doing throughout the tourney. Also, I was glad to see him get beat just because he'd behaved so unprofessionally towards Kassouf earlier - trying to get all the other players to gang up on him; even telling one of the other guys: "we're all on the same team here!" That, buddy, is called collusion...

      He has always been a douchebag since the early days on PokerStars. I used to battle him and all his horses in the tournaments. Sometimes he would own a piece of half the field in the bigger buy in tournaments. Low key cheating.

    @felipelumo2705 8 років тому +5

    Very, very tough spot on that turn after he gets reraised.
    It's three-handed, any set should be nuts, but when he gets reraised given the way hand was played, and especially when the reraiser is player as tight as Gordon Vayo was at that final table, he actually can't beat literally any valuebet.
    He could only hope Vayo has something like Ad6d, or even Ad5d, and he could win if he hits his full house on the river.
    I won't lie and pretend I'm James Obst, I'd probably never fold there.

    • @Emiel666Emiel
      @Emiel666Emiel 8 років тому

      Its very unlikely a player like Vayo would call the flop out of position with a backdoor draw to be honest. Against almost any other player i would call no matter what. but i think i would fold this spot.

    I know it's nearly impossible to fold a set but if we really put deep thought into how this hand played out, what is Vayo check, shoving all in on the turn vs 2 opponents who have shown a lot of strength (especially from Josephy) when Vayo has been playing so nitty on this final table. Josephy needs to find a fold here but only great players can find a fold here...

That’s out of over 650,000 individuals listed on the Hendon Mob website. Cliff IS a great poker player, even if YOU happen to rank higher, which we all can be pretty confident, you do not.

    Hey Doug. Recent subscriber, really liking the quality of your content. Curious, when you're at the table in similar situations to these hands you analze, what extent of this analysis you're providing would you say you're able to get through "in the moment." Is 100% of what you discuss in these analyses what you're able to figure out in the actual hand, or do you often find in retrospect there's quite a bit to take notice of that in the moment you were perhaps a bit blind to?
    Also, as someone that for now sticks to grinding the $1/$2 tables online, do you have any general advice, as putting people on hands and expecting such rational play like you can from most the pros you analyze isn't as sure of a thing where I am?
    Thanks!

    It's also curious if the bet by Josephy is good in the first place? He can't really be bluffing here now can he? Maybe a hand like 45 or 55 or maybe 66 can be bluffing? What are you trying to get Vayo to fold, a KJ or KQ type hand?
    This whole hand has such a weird dynamic with such strong and defined ranges all around.

    calling turn with 33 be terrible play. opponent always checking river with ak and an ace, 5, 6 makes str. why you want to guess with that many chips in pot against a wall 4 card str? 100% huge pot on turn, can't afford to see a 5 on river and have to fold. greed not good there. call is greed and probably won't get called by anything on river. so what is advantage of calling? ak knows its chop at best if you bet river. Def go allin everytime on turn. a,5,6 lot of outs to beat you or put in miserable spot

  • @Badbentham
    @Badbentham 8 років тому +2

    To me, with hindsight, it really looks like a clean fold. Doug nailed it: Pocket deuces is really the very bottom end of the betting range on the turn. So, Vayo`s check-raise looks insanely strong, especially on this ultra-dry board, after the preflop and flop action. Actually, already the overcall on the flop signals good top pair or better; or maaaybe 54s. - The only question to me is whether Vayo ever holds KQ here. And, one even has to consider that Vayo shipped with Nguyen still in the hand.

    • @Badbentham
      @Badbentham 2 роки тому

      @@gesus.christ99 Vayo called from the SB bet and 3-bet, both massively narrowing down his range: Good high cards (esp KQ), pairs, some Axs.
      There are no realistic 2-pairs out, and the only somewhat likely draw that Vayo might actually hold, A5s, makes the 2nd nut straight. On an otherwise extremely dry board.
      So: He has no (obvious) bluffs, and KQ would be very happy to call down;.especially given the previous action.
      Now, you would need to come up with a range for Vayo, as part of his preflop variety, that could justify a call from Josephy :
      Once in a very blue moon, TT/99, without much rhyme and reason, played over-aggressively?!
      Josephy, otoh, can actually have all 65s, and A5s, with backdoors, plus also 33, sitting on the BU: - There is no need for him to go broke with "just" 22.

      Tough spot, if he calls he might let some hands realize equity, not get value from a K hero call/btm set and maybe get bluffed on an A or a 5 river, shoving hes almost screaming he has a set, Id probably just shove there aswell but I dont think there's a clear best play. His tought process there was probably " I have a set I cant fold 3 connected cards on the board all in" lol

    • @fundiver198
      @fundiver198 8 років тому +1

      The problem for Vayo is, he is out of position. If he want to slowplay, he need to check the river, and then Josephy can just check behind. So the only way to make sure, that stacks are going in, is to go for the check-raise on the turn. I guess, he could also donkbet the river, but that look almost stronger and is even more likely to induce a fold.

With everything on the line as it were I *think* I *may* have found the strength to fold to that all-in and wait for a better spot. The idea of a 5 6, in that situation, was just too big a possibility, and sets don’t always win. Thanks for the great analysis Doug.

      Of course is obvious when u see the hand...the ones who r saying it s an easy fold are bunch of no lifers who watch youtube...it s 3 handed with a set over set...how often do u flop a set în that spot? Of course it makes sense when u see the hands...get a job man...cause i know for sure U R not a good poker player,u wouldn t have posted comments on a video,u would be making money ...so...GET A JOB...

      @@serbanaurelian4151 i have to dissapoint you, but this is clear fold considering flop overcall and check shove range of Vayo...no bluffs in range, just pure value and 22 is bluff catcher in this spot. Im speaking from the point of man who played more than 30k mtts in past 9 years and make more than 500k in profits, and i do comment videos and answer to dumb comments like yours ;) cheers, and find job like you said.

    I'm not into live reads too much but the jo guy was giving off multiple tells of a big hand. When people stare at you after betting they almost always have a big hand not to mention his heavy breathing I'm jamming turn with a set of threes every time. I would have a tiny tiny fear of pocket fours but I don't see him calling flop with 4s. This is a player dependent.

    Why would vayo call the flop with 44-66? Wouldn't he just be blocking air from Josephy's range and likely to get knocked off his hand regardless being oop vs 2 players? you mentioned him having those hands a lot on the turn so I wish you spoke a bit more about it on the flop, surely it's not solely for the purpose of having weak hands that turned straight draws in your range to bluff with when you do have a set?

  • @Emiel666Emiel
    @Emiel666Emiel 8 років тому +1

    Its the fact he plays against probably the most tight player on the final table it is probably a fold...
    But even when vayo has a straight you still have a 23% of winning the hand if the board pairs.
    Considering its Vayo he is playing against he is almost never going to call the flop with A4, A5 or 56, because hes a very tight player.
    So what else could he have? You cant really put him on AK given the preflop action.
    Obviously its easier to talk when you see the cards, but i honestly think this is worth a fold.

    • @fundiver198
      @fundiver198 8 років тому

      I agree. It is a completely sick spot, because there are only 6 combos of sets, which beat you. But nothing else really makes sense for him to have and play this way. So if I face that check-raise, I am for sure looking for a bucket. However I would probably call it, because you can never know 100%, that your opponent is unable to have something else than just a set.
      Also if he fold, he leave himself with a crippled stack and almost no chance to win the tournament. Which is way more important than maintaining a small chance of finishing in second place. After all people remember the winner. They dont remember, who came second. At least he went out like a man, and noone will ever blame a poker player for going broke with a set over set situation. It is the definition of a cooler, because its just so unlikely to happen. And even more so when you are playing shorthanded.

    Josephy is not even at the top of his range here. He can easily have A5 and 56. So by folding 22 he still leaves himself with some hands that continue. This makes a fold seem even more reasonable.

  • @ricardoalvarez306
    @ricardoalvarez306 8 років тому

    Ok, great GTO analysis and all, but you failed to mention one key element. The most important piece of info to get this hand right (from Josephy's perspective): Vayo was playing Rock Solid Poker. There's no way in hell he was shoving light there, he either has you crushed (33>22) or semi-crushed (A5s, 65s) & you got 10 outs for the beat. And considering he was playing so tight, it is very unlikely he gets to the Turn with A5s or 65s, he might´ve called pre because of pot odds. But he most definitely wouldn't ve called with the Gutshot OOP, not the way he was folding/playing hands.
    In a standard scenario it's a pretty tough Hero Fold, vs Mr. Vayo Rock Solid Image, it was a Crying/No Way I Am Good Fold.
    My 2 cents.

  • @crazycanuck2544
    @crazycanuck2544 8 років тому

    During your post flop analysis, you mention a lot of hands that you would continue through the flop with, including several off suited high card combos (K/J,Q/10, etc). Now I know that Nguyen plays into this flop with off suited high cards but you already touched on that being an iffy move because of how likely it is that he can get outclassed by a better pocket(Q/10, A/K, etc). I mean I might be reading too much into this, and I am an amateur player so I definitely defer to your judgement regarding this, hence why Im posting the comment in the first place. But aren't you contradicting yourself a bit by saying preflop that A/J off is a weak pocket, and then coming back and saying several other off suited high card combos have a lot of play-ability post flop? Now granted Nguyen isn't a traditional poker player in the way he enters a lot of hands, and plays his flops, (kinda Tom Dwan-ish from my perspective), and yes the flop drops a cowboy, but that still puts a lot of the off suited hands you mentioned in an odd place (Q/10 and such) doesn't it? I know I must be missing something, but I cant see what it is, any help here is appreciated. Cheers on the videos, I've learned a lot watching them.

  • @guybrushthreepwood8174
    @guybrushthreepwood8174 8 років тому

    i agree u can argue a fold is attainable but u never discussed the fact that vayo is a super-nit relative to the other players at this final table (not just 3 handed, the whole time). u can hear josephy on the rail saying "last night he folded that hand in sb but tonight he flatted" which verifies that cliff KNOWS vayo is super nitty. given this tight image, the turn play by vayo is either a bluff or better than 22. bluffs can be ruled out, the guy never bluffs. so when u consider this, i think the fold is more reasonable.

    Doug why it can be slightly exploitable to fold set of 22 He can afford to fold 50% of his range ( Vayo ships 75 mil to win 74,5) and with possible str8s i think it can be mathematicaly corect fold.

  • @mrmurphyzone
    @mrmurphyzone 8 років тому

    I would put Vayo on the extremely unlikely, but weirdly really slow played Aces before I ever put AJs in his range. The way this guy plays its always a set of 3s, its just one of them spots you're going broke in 99% of the time.

  • @swingdocta
    @swingdocta 6 років тому

    22 is a correct fold more often than most people think preflop in NL, the reverse implied odds are the highest among all PP, the reverse implied odds might even be worse than a hand like 78s.
    And on boards like this a set of dueces is like the best bluff catching hand. It's very standard to check call this hand to the river.

  • @justaguy5761
    @justaguy5761 5 років тому

    This is a small piece of the puzzle, but another thing interesting about this hand is that Cliff has the 2 of diamonds AND Vayo has the 3 of diamonds, so each of them can remove prime bluff and semibluff candidates from each others range. Cliff knows Vayo cant have A2 of diamonds, and in a tight range spot like this where every combo counts, that could in theory make it a small percentage easier to fold, if that's the route you're thinking of going. Crazy hand either way!

  • @bluffcatcher2006
    @bluffcatcher2006 6 років тому

    Seems to me Vayo would want to shove the turn since this is a tournament situation and the pot is soooo big already. An A or 5 would be tragic and there will be 90 mill in there after he calls.
    Having a superior stack here is worth more than the range play of calling IMO.
