excellent content, it would have been cool if you discussed more of Addamo's table demeanor ( no tells) and his use of time cards when he does those big bluffs, surely it must help him by getting into his opponent's head with all that time for them to see monsters.
Just became a free member of your coaching site, nailed most quizzes but still need a lot of work so might buy premium when comfortably discounted, excellent work!
I like this content and have tried to implement things along these kind of lines but what I have come to realise that the opposition needs to be good enough to fold strong holdings the people I play against are not lol sometimes it's a struggle having to wait to find true value spots when running card dead
@@no1carper you cant just blindly follow what pros do and try replicate that in low stakes live poker. pay attention to the players at your table, identify what weaknesses they have and exploit them. Bluffing your whole stack into mr fishy mc'calling station is going to work a lot less often than if you were agaisnt players that have a few brain cells. Instead just be very greedy with your value hands and get paid all day. Also consider your own image and how that affects the decision making of your opponents.
Addamo raised the A5 UTG, not knowing if he ever puts 33 or 98 in there what hands is he repping and what portion of his opponents value range will fold? Are any aces up folding?
I think Addamo installed PIO in his brain and thats why he has to take his time for every decision (to run it through the solver). Nice explanations btw: Some of the decisions felt really fishy but after your explanations quit logical.
I have to say for all the people who are saying omg this doesn't work in small stakes, it's very player dependent. You really have to make a habit of keeping notes on the players you encounter where you play be it live or online. Regardless in my experiance playing low to mid stakes aggression is always preferable to passivity obv neither is good and you should be balanced, but if I had to chose one it's honestly better to be a maniac than a fish.
This is why Addamo is so successful in high rollers but not that much in tournaments where lots of people play because you need to understand a lot of things to even contemplate folding QQ on that 10 10 x board. Many players where I play would just say GOOD LUCK if you have a 10 and shove on me. Also I can bet that almost none in the small games would ever fold QQ to that river shove with 78.
28:07 The hearts are irrelevant because the turn was checked through (having hearts is as significant as having spades or diamonds as they were all backdoors on the flop)
Jonathan does talk about Addamo's best bluffing hands on the river being T9 or T8, which implies he is blocking the nut straight. along with two pair combos.
I hate how the QQ has been played post flop. I think Brewer's line here is pretty risk adverse. Had he jammed the turn, he cuts off Addamo's aggression. I'm not the expert in the room though.
Honestly I think it’s bad play by Brewer. He loses only to 10x hands against a player who is very capable of bluffing. The 10 card does not favour one of their ranges over the other, not to mention the SPR. Brewer should’ve all-in on the turn.
I disagree with some of your commentaries, but you're the expert. My comments are in [Brackets], and I reference your comments in (parenthesis) Addamo 378K Brewer 192K BLINDS: 500-1000-1000 (Based on the sizes of the blinds, this hand has no ICM implications) 6-Max tourney Preflop: Addamo opens 3000 on the button with 4s3s and Brewer 3B to 19K from SB, and Addamo calls. [I do like the BIG raise from Brewer, stacks are deep and OOP] Flop: TsTc5s Brewer bets 10K, Addamo raises to 30K, and Brewer calls (JL should be betting small with his whole range and continues to mention the only real good option for Brewer is to call). [I disagree, I think Brewer should be betting close to his 3B size, 18K-22K on the Flop with his whole range. Betting this small induces Addamo's raise with draws and bluffs. A bigger flop sizing by Brewer is likely to get Addamo to fold HERE] Turn: 8d Brewer Checks, Addamo bets 32K, and Brewer calls. (JL mention that Brewer planning ahead and should be X/C on all rivers except for a spade) [I agree with JL's plan if Brewer wants to realize his equity. Personally, I check-raise all-in if I was Brewer] River:Ah Brewer checks, Addamo shoves, and Brewer folds with 111K behind (JL mention Addamo is not worried about Brewer having an Ace) [I disagree, Brewer's 3B PF likely has all the good Aces in his range. I believe if you call turn, you need to call River, provided the spade didn't fall. The Ace is a bad card for Brewer, but it's more likely Addamo's likely to do this with missed flush draws. I disagree with Brewers fold]
Did Addamo play in WSOP? Not showing up on Hendon Mob. As for the Negreanu/Adamo hand; Addamo didn't have the nuts. I watched it here! I think Negreanu called with a pair and maybe Addamo had 2 lower pair? You could tell Addamo's bluffing was in Negreanu's head and so Daniel called with a simple pair. DNegs also played it horribly, he raised when his pair hit, then Addamo crushed him. It's like Addamo can read minds. Because I also think it was a really wet board which not only made DNegs stupid for calling his raise with a pair, it made Addamo's raise pretty dangerous as well.
@@rbaddict2947 Addamo had a straight, but a pair were on the board, meaning a full house/set/quads were in play. All DNegs had was a pair of As and board 5-5. Addamo did not have the nuts. DNegs bet right after the A hit the turn. Basically telegraphing his hand to Addamo. The board was really wet. And Dnegs had a pair. Calling an all-in was bad.
Playing guys like Addamo, "check-call" is right. But what do you think about a small-bet-call vs check-call. The one thing I hate is giving the opp the idea that I have a weak hand so they overbet. Because then I have no clue if they have a good hand or are just wrongly over-confident in their marginal hand. So a small bet says "I have something" like Brewer did. But it was like you said, basically a check-call. Too bad DNegs didn't take your class, LOL. He made a big raise on Addamo. DOH!
The one thing I really dont understand with Addamo is he bluffs a ton, most of the pros hes bluffing have lots of money. Why arent they calling him down? I would be like 80% of the time with Addamo the amount he seems to bluff.
I look this hand long Time ago, and since then i see a brewer very emotional, like very worried, 0 profesional, even like scared. It was scared of addamo??
he is not in the class of chidwick by any stretch of imagination. once you figure them out they are done. there is nobody great in poker. you can get on a hot run and win. i saw him at triton but there were other fantastic players as well there. i was mightily impressed with tan and how he came to win. CHRIS FERGUSION WENT 3 FINALS IN A ROW AND GOT SECOND TWICE AND 3RD TIME HE WON I THINK. CAN ANYBODY EVEN DO THAT IN MODERN ERA? WHERE IS HE NOW? HE HIM-SELF IS A GAME THEORY SPECIALIST AND A PHD IN COMPUTERS AND HIS PARENTS WERE ALSO CAME FROM MATH BACKGROUND. ----------- doug POLK won everything and today he is losing. ------------- IT HAS GAME OF CHANCE IN IT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. YOU THINK HE DONT UNDERSTAND THIS MODERN POKER, GTO ETC ETC? COME ON NOW. ------------- ONCE THEY STUDY YOUR STYLE YOU ARE DONE. EVEN PHIL IVY HAD A LONG LONG SLUMP. WHEN WAS LAST TIME HELMUTH WON? DANIEL NEGRENU WAS DOWN 2.5 MIL LAST YEAR. AND JONANTHAN LITTLE HIMSELF DO NOT WIN MUCH IN BIG TOURNAMENT: HE HAD A HOT RUN IN JANUARY. HE HIMSELF HAD 7 YEAR NOTHING THOUGH HE WAS BUSY WITH COACHING SITE.
he is no CHIDWICK. STOP THE BANDWAGON. THERE ARE OTHERS TOO. THAT CHINA KING TAN XUAN!!! AND HE HAS NOT FACED DANIEL NEGRENU OR EVEN FOXINS IN MOOD AND JONANTHAN LITTLE HIMSELF.
if the river was a ''blank'' then his shove doesn't make any sense as a bluff... since he was called on the turn, he will get called on the river too! very obvious... it seems addamo is overagressive and he lacks some fundamentals like this one... a total bad bluff!
This line by Adamo just looks like complete trash, who is gonna rr 10X in position??? Or even a slow played AA/KK?? This play looks unreal face up to me folding QQ even after off suit A hits on the river feels like a massive punt, especially against Adamo. Brewer is just that weak a player? This feels like a call, fist pump windmill.

And it's funny cause I played a tournament after this and raised the turn shoved the river with Ah blocker got called by 88 2 over on the board 🤣 🤷♂️
This is a good problem to have in the long run.

Thanks for the vid , hes a beast !
He is! Glad you liked it!
Ponakovs pulse was firing so hard during that river bluff :D
Best tournament player in the world bar none. Absolute beast
Fantastic content! I was waiting for you to bring out content analyzing Addamo's exploits.
More to come!

Sickest bluff ever vs Schindler
30:05 why did no one mention that 8 9 also completes a straight ?
I think the last hand Shendler has to check river.. trying to get max value from QQs is a no win situation
Certainly reasonable against someone who will put you in miserable spots!
What does the solver say with QQ there to the river jam?
addamo got that dawg in him
Addamo making Australia proud!
28:07 The hearts are irrelevant because the turn was checked through (having hearts is as significant as having spades or diamonds as they were all backdoors on the flop)
In hand number two, you forgot to mention Addamo blocks 45 for the low straight on board. Addamo definitely knew that.
why did no one mention that 8 9 also completes a straight ?
Jonathan does talk about Addamo's best bluffing hands on the river being T9 or T8, which implies he is blocking the nut straight. along with two pair combos.
I feel like Addamo is smirking underneath his mask when he jams
I hate how the QQ has been played post flop. I think Brewer's line here is pretty risk adverse. Had he jammed the turn, he cuts off Addamo's aggression. I'm not the expert in the room though.
why would A2 and A5 have different sizes?

Exactly what I thought too.
