I am at the big pot with Daniel against the loose cannon and it was beautiful. the whole table erupted. Now that was skill. He should do some tournaments
What Cannon did is actually incredible. The amount of pressure you would feel when sitting next to poker professionals must be huge. Yet he not only maintained his calm but once he realized he was being underestimated, he took full advantage of the situation. When they started to see that he shouldn't be underestimated he took advantage of that as well. Well played, sir.

@@chriskaszowski5369 We are shown only few hands, there was probably over a hundred hands played, so it is hard to conclude how loose he played overall
@@chriskaszowski5369 Except that Cannon was playing off of the fact that they had so few of his hands. If he lost a string of hands like you describe, he'd have likely changed his playstyle to be tighter. In other words, Cannon wasn't simply playing his hands, he was playing the other person. And he did so amazingly.
@@doctorspine6420 He was on a lucky streak and the other players knew it. They saw the hands he flopped. He would not have been able to bluff against them otherwise.
@@coreyham3753 A lot of players can be on a lucky streak but still losing to bluff or don't know when to fold, this guy uses every opportunity he gets and makes it work. Just cause he is on a heater doesn't mean he is just purely rely on luck to win.
@@oanhienlong7264 This guy will lose to the pros 99 out of 100 times. The pros recognized he was on a super lucky streak, played it smart, and waited to see his lucky streak end. That is what pros do. He would not have been able to bluff, without the incredible lucky streak he was on. He will never be a regular on the pro circuit and cannot compete with them on a day in day out basis.
First half was him running ridiculously hot and making thin value-bets on the River. But nobody ever made a hand against him. Second half was more impressive. He made a few bluffs when his opponents missed and used his aggressive image to induce loose calls and bluffs from his opponents…. In the whole video, nobody ever made a hand against him except for an inexplicable cold of the third-but flush when Cannon made a third pot value bet bluff on the river.

Just a masterclass in gameflow dynamics. Gonzo had a table full of pros feeling like anything less than the nuts was just no good. Ran them all over! Pure poker!
@@finmason8339 yeah, idk about "entitled" but this is the case for a more GTO style. Some of these folds were pretty big deviations and when you're wrong, it can look pretty bad lol
The consistency of play and his demeanor from when he had it to when he bluffed had them baffled. He got fortunate that no one ever made him show when he didn’t have it but that luck was bought and paid for with the former point. Excellent display of how to turn good cards early into a dominant night overall. Salute to him for sure.
I like how when the game first started the pros were real chatty even mocking him with the "two yellows and two whites" talk, but when he started kicking their butts they got real quiet with all the chatter and mocking. Cannon didn't lose his cool and didn't let all the talk get to him! This is a classic case of never judge a book by its cover.
ROTFL kicking their butts ROTFL. He was ultra lucky hiting every hand and pros didnt hit anything anytime against him not even a pair to call. Just luck. The best cards against him was 3rd nuts the whole night. What are we even talking about kicking buts. That's jus luck
@@Rastamanjungle this is a compilation of him winning. Its not every hand that was in play. We cant even see his stack size. Also like a Quarter of these hands Hes bluffing or semi bluffing because he has a mid or bad hand.

My only warning is watching these old games. They are nothing like the games today. Thanks to computers The game has greatly evolved into something completely different than what you're watching. Though you might already know this because your comments from 8 months ago and if you've been playing the whole time you've probably realized it

@@fuckyoutube4398 Of course, Cannon got great hands. Anyone who's played poker enough knows sometimes the deck is stacked against you. But even with good hands, you can leave money on the table, scare away action, etc. With the great hands he had, he played great. Your point just makes my point even stronger...we should have him back on.
They are calling stations with great reading ability. Very hard to bluff them off. Daniel in particular is almost telepathic. Tony G is one of the greatest cash game players ever as well, amazing instincts with probably the best talking game ever. Viffer and Seiver are also outstanding cash game players. U right, it was a nightmare table. (this time for the pro's hehe)

@@stevenwalker9013 Those two early pots with Hellmuth I assume is what you're referring to mostly. The 2nd time he did it yeah it was a trashy play, but the 1st time? Totally makes sense. Remember that this format is just so different from just watching a normal high stakes cash game or tournament. A big thing that the 2nd season cannons who did well noticed was that the pros looooove to try and push around the cannons, especially early on when feeling them out. Making that 1st call gave Max something like 70k chips right off the bat pffft. As for the Cannon Cannon VS Italian Cannon debate, I think that Cannon Cannon was just a liiiiitle bit of a better player. But I do think Cannon Cannon also got a bit lucky too with the "Murderer's Row" (Seiver, Tony G, and Viffer) whiffing a lot against him. And Tony G folding the 3rd nuts is just lunacy he never does. I will admit that stuff like that may be due to something live reads related he's doing at that table that doesn't translate well to TV though.
@@bh4462 , nothing lunacy about folding the third nuts when the opposing player is messing with your head. Lol. The cannon really confused the pros. It can happen- a pro can be stomped on by an amateur.
I think he's the most impressive amateur they've had regardless of the final dollar amount. Most of the big winners gradually lost ground over the course of the game but then made a huge profit on one hand where they got lucky on the river. But this guy bluffed pros, got them to raise when he had the best hand all along, he just outplayed them from start to finish.
Seiver’s face when he saw the flush was brilliant! Cannon held his own and kick ass. Very surprised Tony G mucked the 10c that was way too weird, he was priced in to call at least. Should definitely do this again….
I know iv never known TOny G to fold such card like that, but it also says about the game when u play so frigin good u install fear in other team members that day, also gambling and luck part works for you, even though TG saw he had flush, the last hand he played with Canon was face cards so he felt canon has to have Higher card then his 10 making a better flush. Canon really played well, His level was of Professional that doesn't mean ge can play like that everyday, luck and every pokar factor was with him that day.
You tend to fold like this to extreme nits. Every time the amateur showed his cards, it was two face cards so everyone at the table that this guy was an extreme nit. I admit I might fold there too because I don't want to look stupid. As a pro, imagine losing to a newb in front of all your peers.
Great playing, he doesn't get there without his incredibly calm, cool, confident, and humble demeanor at the table. His stories were believable and when called down, he had it. Incredible session. Talk about rising to the occasion.
It helped when Cannon is running hot and the pros are running cold. If the pros had any decent hands, Canon would've just been destroyed with how loose he played, especially out of position...
When you play poker, this happens sometimes, and you absolutely need to play like he did to take advantage. If he was getting looked up, he probably would adjust his play and play less out of position with air. But he played the absolute crap out of his situation and it worked out phenomenally for him.
@@fuckyoutube4398 jesus christ man get a life- youre like all over this damn comment section goin from one comment to the next.

This was one of, if not the most impressive rounds of an "amateur" ripping through pros, that I've ever seen. And Yes, I put those quotation marks around the word Amateur, because everything I've seen from Cannon in this Video is f*ing far away from Amateur. Well deserved seat at the Table for Gonzo. Very well played, to the point, that Pro Players are trembling with disbelief. Chapeaux Gonzales Cannon. Bloody well done.
In the literal sense of the word, amateur just means you're not a professional. If you make your living through something you're considered a professional and if you don't you're considered an amateur regardless of skill. Of course the words are also often used to indicate skill, but I'm sure in this context amateur just means "not pro".
What did u see from the Cannon? Pure luck hiting every hand with AK QQ and AQ. He showed zero skill and pros are making fun and Play for Play money. You people are so naive and stupid.

@@nilsboldt988idk man poker can be a scary game sometimes. Tony g plays with the others at the table regularly and is familiar with their games and tendencies. Here comes this guy you have no inclinations about and has been on fire all day. Sometimes shits too spooky
How? They all were bricking against Cannon. The only bluff where the pros had a decent hand was Tony folding the third best hand. If the pros made any of their hands, Cannon would've felted himself with how badly he bluffed out of position. He's lucky the poker gods made sure the pros had nothing.
He got good hands in the beginning which make those pros hard to predict in the middle of the game. Cannon controls the situation most of the time. He is very smart when comes to this because he knows they can't read him when he is bluffing. Very well done.

He only got played because he couldn't believe Cannon had enough of a hand to call his big bluff bet. By showing the 5, Negreanu proved he could not beat a full house. That was on Negreanu.
@@mellkiades Dan's hand was either going to be a straight or nothing (which it was), after that show of the 5. At that point, if cannon didn't have a straight beat, he would probably have to either fold, or call if he thinks that Dan is bluffing the straight. If he bets anything, it means he either beats the straight or is bluffing himself. In that position, he wants Dan to think that he is bluffing, so he makes a large over bet to try and pretend a bluff. It didn't work, but I think that is the reasoning behind the play. Any bet would probably just induce a fold anyway, since he would only really be calling or folding with a worse hand. So might as well just go big and hope for Dan to have the straight and to think you are bluffing and call your large bet.

@@fuckyoutube4398 Tony G folding that flush is cold? Yes, Cannon ran hot, he got cards, but he also made moves, and when he got to showdown, he had the goods, so his table image was strong. When you get called, and you show the goods, your bluffs get much stronger, and Cannon bluffed well too.
@@doronstauber7285 One time Tony was in the position to call a bluff and he blundered hard. Otherwise that guy is pretty much on the money.

Complete Ownage! There may have been a few slightly less-than-optimal decisions, but this guy literally extracted the maximum in all his hands. Amazing. Look at Seiver's face at 22:15. He was smiling because he thought he trapped Cannon, the amateur. But, when he saw Cannon's cards, you can see his heart sink and that smile turn into an incredulous frown. It was beautiful.

It's not luck when you see a guy winning like this. I'd hate to face him but I'd love to see more of him. It's too bad he isn't a pro but he played like one there
No doubt a great player but man was he running good. A lot of the hands they just couldn't call because they had nothing. He did sneak a few bluffs in there at the right time though.
well said If the pros made any of their hands, Cannon would've felted himself with how badly he bluffed out of position. He's lucky the poker gods made sure the pros had nothing.
We need a Gonzales Cannon update. If he has good bankroll management , I'm sure he's made his fair share of money. He has a Great understanding of actual hand value. The biggest thing is to not be intimidated. Many people have these skills(online especially ) but are too intimidated to pull the trigger when the lights are bright. Kudos to Gonzales for grabbing his 20 mins of fame by the throat !!!!!
@@Zoggyboyzimmy Whale means rich people who bleed money. This guy doesn't appear rich and he didn't throw money away. He also didn't just run well. Look at the number of times he bluffed. Usually, you only bluff a fraction of the times you bet for value. But, he was bluffing about 50/50 which is a lot. I mean he got the pros to lay down some good hands. I agree he was lucky. I think how previous loose canons helped him. The pros seemed to think he was an extreme nit when he wasn't. He also never showed his cards, which really helped his image. He also got some coolers which strengthened his tight image. So, many things went right for him on this show.
@@morninglift1253 whale just means someone inexperienced and bad at the game, which he is. that being said, the 'pros' are also pretty terrible by current online standards, and daniel negreanu has been exposed in recent years as a very weak player.
@@Zoggyboyzimmy You're incorrect, my friend. Whale means a poker player who gives away a lot of money. It's derived from the fact that when you hunt whales, they are big and fat. Also, Daniel Negreanu isn't a weak player. Yeah, Doug Polk exposed him but that doesn't mean he's terrible.
Definitely the Best CANNON. I love this format, they should bring it back. This is tha only poker show i enjoy watching. The commentators are on point. Its way more entertaining.
I remember watching this series when it came out originally, man i was so behind Gonzo, ballsy plays, cool as a cucumber against pros. Def earned respect of the folks at the table, nearly thought Siever was goin to explode when Gonzo went all in till he quickly realized how beat he was. Gonzo and Viffer had great chemistry also.

What exploit? Literally hitting every hand while the pros bricked? If the pros had any decent hands, Canon would've just been destroyed with how loose he played, especially out of position...
The reason why newbies win, is because he is 1. Decent, and 2. other players have never seen him play so don't know what to expect and therefore risk manage... aka fold. After the Pro's have seen this rewind of the game with all his cards and how he plays. He can't pull this trick again, ever. This is the edge of a newbie.
@@Ken-zj9sx A lot of separate stuff that tied into each other: - Bobby Sura and Daniel being really really passive (the so-called "murder row" of "action junkies" in Seiver, Tony G and Viffer), so Gonzo got into A LOT of flops without being isolated by the pros - generally low 3-bet %, there was a lot of limping and min raises. Again, helps cannons more than anyone else. If someone like Minieri was behind him, it would be a completely different story. - Insane win% at Showdown; I think the first time he got snuffed out was Seiver catching one of his bluffs in 3rd episode (Martinez against Laak in 1st hand of the session said something like "if you win the money, I'm gonna believe you for the rest of the night"). So they were really afraid to look him up. Also in that hand there was a 4 card flush. Realistically, 10 high flush on that board is a bluff catcher, no one is likely gonna value bet anything less than 10. - There was also some meta gaming against the pros (the insta calls into Tony and pretty slow decisions against Seiver). - He wasn't just running good. He was running wicked good - Most importantly, he was making really good decisions (sure some of them just stunk, the straight against Bobby that he just didnt get absolutely any value from, but those were really rare). He played great poker for 150 hands, and didn't have a singular "one shot profit" hand like Ferdinand or Fishman. He ran the table the entire time. And when you are getting Tony G to fold 3rd nuts etc., they are giving you mad respect in terms of hand strengths.
The Pro players actually played well, but still lost to the one that was unknown. Even if some thought Tony G's fold on the 10 of clubs flush was wrong, he was only wrong because we saw the hands and we did not have to deal with that unknown.

25 minutes of pros being retaught the art of the Loose Cannon. Just amazing how pros playing each other is so calculated, but when a cool and loose cannon comes around they completely crumble under the pressure. When you're outside your comfort zone things get weird.
Well said, my takeaway exactly. Even funnier the play on words re his name haha. Was a great video to watch, these guys are all over thinkers and greater reader who can almost envision your hand by your choice of play on the turn, he just played to their weaknesses, which was them assuming he’d play to their strengths i.e. playing tight vs pros w such good records & experience.

And did it all with ~50% VPIP. Actually insane, Gonzo didn’t just win, he styled on them!
Mentally had them all destroyed . They’re so set in their entitled ways. Canon humbled them hopefully
@@finmason8339 yeah, idk about "entitled" but this is the case for a more GTO style. Some of these folds were pretty big deviations and when you're wrong, it can look pretty bad lol
Then again Gonzo himself was so successful because his style was very exploitative, not GTO. So I guess both have their merits! 😉
@@pugsnhogz entitled as hell dude they all thought they were better than Gonzo
The consistency of play and his demeanor from when he had it to when he bluffed had them baffled. He got fortunate that no one ever made him show when he didn’t have it but that luck was bought and paid for with the former point. Excellent display of how to turn good cards early into a dominant night overall. Salute to him for sure.
I was wondering how he was doing so well and I think this explains it perfectly. It also helps when u hit the flop so many times
Negreanu call it, pay to see
The look on seivers face when cannon checked his all in instantly and showed the cards was priceless.
Do you know what Check means?
@@vishwanaathgr Probably meant to say call
@@vishwanaathgr dont be so hard on the man lol you get the message
Was hilarious!
That "Oh, my God!" from Tony G just adds to it.
I like how when the game first started the pros were real chatty even mocking him with the "two yellows and two whites" talk, but when he started kicking their butts they got real quiet with all the chatter and mocking. Cannon didn't lose his cool and didn't let all the talk get to him! This is a classic case of never judge a book by its cover.
Absolutely!
the 2 yellows 2 whites bit was disrespectful. Gonzo got the last giggle at the end!
ROTFL kicking their butts ROTFL.
He was ultra lucky hiting every hand and pros didnt hit anything anytime against him not even a pair to call. Just luck. The best cards against him was 3rd nuts the whole night. What are we even talking about kicking buts. That's jus luck
@@Rastamanjungle this is a compilation of him winning. Its not every hand that was in play. We cant even see his stack size. Also like a Quarter of these hands Hes bluffing or semi bluffing because he has a mid or bad hand.
It helped when Cannon is running hot and the pros are running cold. If the pros had any decent hands, Canon would've just been destroyed with how loose he played, especially out of position...
I find this so entertaining. I’m very new to poker, but the banter from everyone and even the narrators. Can’t wait to learn and practice lots.
Oh yea it’s a whole new ball game of mind games that’s very interesting to watch
It’s a really fun rabbit hole to dive down. Welcome to the club and I hope you enjoy

I wish you the best
My only warning is watching these old games. They are nothing like the games today. Thanks to computers The game has greatly evolved into something completely different than what you're watching.
Though you might already know this because your comments from 8 months ago and if you've been playing the whole time you've probably realized it
If PokerStars wants to increase viewership, they need to bring Gonzalez Cannon back! This guy is a champ and served everyone up some just desserts! Who wouldn't want to see him back?!?!

Or Nadya Magnusson. She played pretty strong and didn't get hit with the deck the way Cannon, not to downplay the solid bluffs he worked with.

This is a nightmare table. Seiver, Negreanu, Viffer, and Tony G!?!?! Three of the best and also most intimidating live players... cheers to Cannon.
They are calling stations with great reading ability.
Very hard to bluff them off.
Daniel in particular is almost telepathic.
Tony G is one of the greatest cash game players ever as well, amazing instincts with probably the best talking game ever.
Viffer and Seiver are also outstanding cash game players.

Most entertaining Cannon of the entire series, he ran hot but also played great when he didn't have it.
ye he made very nice bluffs.. good sizing, may be a bit too aggressive with top set, but he was portraying aggressive style the whole time
Him and Max (The Italian Loose Cannon) are the two reasons why I believe that Season 2 of The Big Game was the greatest poker show of all time.
@@stevenwalker9013 Those two early pots with Hellmuth I assume is what you're referring to mostly.
The 2nd time he did it yeah it was a trashy play, but the 1st time? Totally makes sense.
Remember that this format is just so different from just watching a normal high stakes cash game or tournament.
A big thing that the 2nd season cannons who did well noticed was that the pros looooove to try and push around the cannons, especially early on when feeling them out. Making that 1st call gave Max something like 70k chips right off the bat pffft.
As for the Cannon Cannon VS Italian Cannon debate, I think that Cannon Cannon was just a liiiiitle bit of a better player. But I do think Cannon Cannon also got a bit lucky too with the "Murderer's Row" (Seiver, Tony G, and Viffer) whiffing a lot against him. And Tony G folding the 3rd nuts is just lunacy he never does. I will admit that stuff like that may be due to something live reads related he's doing at that table that doesn't translate well to TV though.
@@bh4462 , nothing lunacy about folding the third nuts when the opposing player is messing with your head. Lol. The cannon really confused the pros. It can happen- a pro can be stomped on by an amateur.
Played like a complete fish nothing great about it
I think he's the most impressive amateur they've had regardless of the final dollar amount. Most of the big winners gradually lost ground over the course of the game but then made a huge profit on one hand where they got lucky on the river. But this guy bluffed pros, got them to raise when he had the best hand all along, he just outplayed them from start to finish.
Seiver’s face when he saw the flush was brilliant! Cannon held his own and kick ass. Very surprised Tony G mucked the 10c that was way too weird, he was priced in to call at least. Should definitely do this again….
Yeah that was a bad fold. He had the 3rd nuts and I think it was only 3k to call 😂😂
Testament to how well the cannon played to make Tony fold. He was sure he was beat. Is it possible to have a hero fold? Hahaha.
Seiver had the "YOU HAVE GOT GOT TO BE EFFING SH-TTING ME, MAN!!!" face!
I know iv never known TOny G to fold such card like that, but it also says about the game when u play so frigin good u install fear in other team members that day, also gambling and luck part works for you, even though TG saw he had flush, the last hand he played with Canon was face cards so he felt canon has to have Higher card then his 10 making a better flush. Canon really played well, His level was of Professional that doesn't mean ge can play like that everyday, luck and every pokar factor was with him that day.
You tend to fold like this to extreme nits. Every time the amateur showed his cards, it was two face cards so everyone at the table that this guy was an extreme nit. I admit I might fold there too because I don't want to look stupid. As a pro, imagine losing to a newb in front of all your peers.
Great playing, he doesn't get there without his incredibly calm, cool, confident, and humble demeanor at the table. His stories were believable and when called down, he had it. Incredible session. Talk about rising to the occasion.
Real shame he didn't end up winning the poker tour pass or whatever it was
It helped when Cannon is running hot and the pros are running cold. If the pros had any decent hands, Canon would've just been destroyed with how loose he played, especially out of position...
When you play poker, this happens sometimes, and you absolutely need to play like he did to take advantage. If he was getting looked up, he probably would adjust his play and play less out of position with air. But he played the absolute crap out of his situation and it worked out phenomenally for him.

For sure this guy is a 5/10 or 10/20 regular.
In the literal sense of the word, amateur just means you're not a professional. If you make your living through something you're considered a professional and if you don't you're considered an amateur regardless of skill.
Of course the words are also often used to indicate skill, but I'm sure in this context amateur just means "not pro".

the last hand was a work of art. Rarely you see Daniel get played like that.
He only got played because he couldn't believe Cannon had enough of a hand to call his big bluff bet. By showing the 5, Negreanu proved he could not beat a full house. That was on Negreanu.
But why did Cannon bet so much? He knew he had the better hand. Why not show weakness with a smaller bet to gain value?
@@mellkiades If Dan's so confident in his hand he can show his card, make him pay up
Pretty sure Daniel was trying to rep a 4. Problem was the cannon actually had it. Lmao
@@mellkiades Dan's hand was either going to be a straight or nothing (which it was), after that show of the 5. At that point, if cannon didn't have a straight beat, he would probably have to either fold, or call if he thinks that Dan is bluffing the straight. If he bets anything, it means he either beats the straight or is bluffing himself. In that position, he wants Dan to think that he is bluffing, so he makes a large over bet to try and pretend a bluff. It didn't work, but I think that is the reasoning behind the play.
Any bet would probably just induce a fold anyway, since he would only really be calling or folding with a worse hand. So might as well just go big and hope for Dan to have the straight and to think you are bluffing and call your large bet.
He ran really good.
It got to a point where he had them all intimidated, and then they started getting loose on him.

I agree he was lucky. I think how previous loose canons helped him. The pros seemed to think he was an extreme nit when he wasn't. He also never showed his cards, which really helped his image.

Painful to see Tony G to fold that hand.
How come he folded?
@@Ken-zj9sx the Cannons image
@@Ken-zj9sx A lot of separate stuff that tied into each other:
- Bobby Sura and Daniel being really really passive (the so-called "murder row" of "action junkies" in Seiver, Tony G and Viffer), so Gonzo got into A LOT of flops without being isolated by the pros
- generally low 3-bet %, there was a lot of limping and min raises. Again, helps cannons more than anyone else. If someone like Minieri was behind him, it would be a completely different story.
- Insane win% at Showdown; I think the first time he got snuffed out was Seiver catching one of his bluffs in 3rd episode (Martinez against Laak in 1st hand of the session said something like "if you win the money, I'm gonna believe you for the rest of the night"). So they were really afraid to look him up. Also in that hand there was a 4 card flush. Realistically, 10 high flush on that board is a bluff catcher, no one is likely gonna value bet anything less than 10.
- There was also some meta gaming against the pros (the insta calls into Tony and pretty slow decisions against Seiver).
- He wasn't just running good. He was running wicked good
- Most importantly, he was making really good decisions (sure some of them just stunk, the straight against Bobby that he just didnt get absolutely any value from, but those were really rare). He played great poker for 150 hands, and didn't have a singular "one shot profit" hand like Ferdinand or Fishman. He ran the table the entire time. And when you are getting Tony G to fold 3rd nuts etc., they are giving you mad respect in terms of hand strengths.
I loved it. So quiet too. LOL

It helped when Cannon is running hot and the pros are running cold. If the pros had any decent hands, Canon would've just been destroyed with how loose he played, especially out of position
When will we see that insane player again? Invite him back!!
14:06 "Ask and you shall receive"
"I don't remember Seiver asking to be dominated.... which he is" LOL
Negreanu's reaction at 8:06 when Cannon beats Tony G into the pot is priceless.
He had the winning hand so many times it made the others believe he had the winning hand even when he bluffed, that man drawed some of the best cards ever in a game
This Game is luck , consistency makes You pro
The face Seiver makes at 22:17 is absolutely priceless. I laughed so hard
22:15 is such a genuine moment
I watch for the cannons, i keep coming back for the commentary, they are everything 😂😂
Great to see Gonzales Cannon be so calm and successful against a table full of highly successful professionals. Also proud to see Daniel and Tony G acting calm at the table, which is a challenge for Tony G. Great game.

22:19 You know this is not going well with the pros when you can see Daniel shaking his head lol
21:20 my favourite hand. You could tell gonzo was really in seivers head. Seiver wanted to punish the cannon and goes for super thin value thinking cannon maybe had two pair that was counterfeit or a 7, 88,99 or jacks. Cannon just snaps him off with a 3 high flush😂😂
Cannon made them look like they were the cannons 😂Just outstanding bluffing 👏 Gonzo nice playing

25 minutes of pros being retaught the art of the Loose Cannon. Just amazing how pros playing each other is so calculated, but when a cool and loose cannon comes around they completely crumble under the pressure. When you're outside your comfort zone things get weird.
Well said, my takeaway exactly. Even funnier the play on words re his name haha. Was a great video to watch, these guys are all over thinkers and greater reader who can almost envision your hand by your choice of play on the turn, he just played to their weaknesses, which was them assuming he’d play to their strengths i.e. playing tight vs pros w such good records & experience. Just beautiful poker through & through.

@@johndoe-de1db u r so miserable u have copy pasted this comment all over this video. Get over yourself.
absolute domination. played perfectly.

Gonzo’s balls of steel.
Great stuff.

I remember the first time seeing this, in my head I'm thinking that's what they call living a dream... I was so happy for "Dude" I feel like crying 😢 😭 tears of joy.
I come back to this clip more than almost any other poker video. What he did to these pros is insane.
I hope we get to see more of Cannon, that was an awesome game.
This man is insane. great plays all the time

I feel like all the pros were absolutely befuddled and terrified of him. Incredible play
More like Cannon just got great hands. He didn't even play well. He was bluffing like crazy and if the pros didn't brick so much they would have cleaned him.
Great Loose Cannon and the way he kept his cool and played among them is amazing. The only video where I have seen Tony G shut up and wonder about the other player 😂
Almost impossible thing to do 😀
Very composed and humble man you can just tell. Amazing session
Very entertaining indeed. He had the hot hands, but played so well when he didn't. Love this guy and love the pro's for being there too. Great video indeed. Reminds me of a home game we play monthly and someone just dominating everyone else.
You can call some of this luck I suppose but the play both with and without hands as well as in and out of position was very impressive. What a cool experience for him. Talk about taking your opportunity and running with it!!
It would be a great follow up content if some of these pros reacted to these Cannon games
Tony folding with a flush was unreal!!! Cannon is the truth
He ran good but he also played so well that he was intimidating the pros. Amazing.
Yep nobody acknowledged the long great run of cards and luckily Pros ran cold
@@thomasgentry6201 well said. If the pros made any of their hands, Cannon would've felted himself with how badly he bluffed out of position. He's lucky the poker gods made sure the pros had nothing.
true showmanship..... Gonzo needs to be on the show frequently.....
And he stays bluffing... "I'm speechless, I'm happy, I feel like dancing". He knew he had it in the bag.
One of the more entertaining poker videos I've seen in a while
2:15 c'mon man, that's uncalled for 😂
Damn, this guy played SO WELL... So good to see this!

Thank you for compiling this. My favorite loose cannon. That Seiver one was very tricky, he got a tad lucky there. Pocket queens for Scott instead of kings and woulda been a pretty big loss after a lot of hard work. But man, did he play some actual real cool poker throughout. Just the best cannon.
Love it!!! And he didn’t back down when Sieber was being rude by calling out the color of the chips. 👏👏👏
Him and Nadya were my favorite cannons!
Unbelievable play. Amazing!
2:25 “King Jackoff” out of context is pretty funny
When a Real poker player meet PRO'S !!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT !!!

When a lucky donk flops good hands after good hands. Most of the time he had no business being in a hand. That is like online all in poker players.
these pros showed emotion on every hand when Cannon stayed stoic the whole time.
Because they're casual and for Cannon it's life changing money...
