High Stakes Poker

Indeed, durrrr is the best cash player ever but I don’t see why he’s so stunned by the flat call on the river. Nobody would call a big raise with a worse hand than A6 on the river there, so I don’t see the point of raising on the river for Peter. 90% of the times he gets a fold and in 10% or more he gets reraised and needs to throw his hand away

Peter’s hand was vulnerable as well, it could have been beat by lot of hands,
The call is correct, at least on the river.
If he raises the turn and Tom Moves in, It could be a tough call for Peter, unless he has a shallow stack.
The turn call manages the size of the pot and
gain another Tom’s bet.
I guess Peter was afraid of a 56 type of hand!

raise the turn and posible Durr wold of gone all in on the river

Certainly possible, ‘Tis Dwan…

All the bigger pots where runned more than once, so, yeah, Dwan has won the biggest pot ever televised.

KK, K6, 65, 63, 47, 42, 33, 55?

Eastgate reraise the river with 9th nuts – unlikely. Dwan call reraise with 15th nuts – Impossible.

agreed. you have to make thin value bets with a wider range to make sure you get value for your premium holdings at those levels.

i wish i had the money to play a 175k pot!

even my grand mother could beat dwan with this dominated improbable hand… just a lucky spot of eastgate

im no pro like these guys but i wouldnt have raised either, he is beat by alot hands. KK he is beat by but the hand wasnt played out as if tom had KK so he wasnt worried about that, but 55, 33, 56 are all possible and 36 is less likely but still possible. 24 and 47 are a longshot but they had him beat too, i’d be happy to take a 175K pot without risking losing even more with the 6th nuts

damn I wish i could lose a 175K pot and laugh it off.

Lol @ 2:46…. Greenstein probably said that before he lost with his AA against durrrr XD

The cards did a lot more to beat Dwan than Eastgate did.

HSP and other EDITED tv shows are deceptive empirical evidence as they dramatize hands and personalities for ratings. Gabe K. is a great host when he is not forced (by a production crew) to exalt a player/hand needlessly. A smart observer would easily detect how Gabe’s commentary “evolved” from ep 7 onwards. If you refer to hands between him and Greens. as “the” hand, you are wrong. HSP had 3 bigger hands in S4. Finally, check out Lichtenberger in WSOP 2009 to see a good WSOP start.

The key thing is that the metagame on FTP (where Tom and Sahamies play every day) is so agressive that a value raise with top kicker may be standard.

But in lower stakes i guess you can’t raise that hand against a competent player.

“peter eastgate gives it the big marobojungle kind of stare”lol gabes hilarious ” COLLL”

REALLY?…….aggro online player and nothing else?…..he ran over every player on hsp this season, made two final tables at his first wsop, has 1mil in live tourney earnings, and has played the biggest pot ever televised. When you can eclipse these records, then say hes no good, until then give the man props for being the best.

yeah he beats the fricking minimum

The hardest thing when u play against durrrr is to put him on something: it could be anything doest matter how big the preflop (re)raise is.

Eastgate is a Muppet

That’s true. Dwan is known to play just about anything to a raise, so he could have easily been playing 56 and made the boat.

It’s hard to put Dwan on any hand and Eastgate didn’t even have 4th or 5th nuts there so just flat calling such a big raise was probably the smart play.

Totally agree, it was a good play just to call in my own, Durr could easily had a fullhouse or a straight with that board

dwan makes it sound so obv that he’d call if eastgate raised. he’s lying right?
