Nov 12, 2008 - Noob question: Why did Gus check the river? Can he be THAT sure, that Negreanu thinks that he has the best hand himself? Why shouldn't he bet, maybe 1/2 Pot Size?

Nov 12, 2008 - but its easy for us to say it seeing. when your in the middle of a hand, your thinking differently. you would not lay it down. your an idiot

Nov 13, 2008 - That's not a n00b question, it was a guess by Gus, worked out good I would have bet 10.000 or something I guess

Nov 13, 2008 - I love Gus' check-raise all-in on the river. Although these days his image isn't what it used to be (aggressive maniac), back then, a check-raise all-in on the river by Gus can mean a wide range of hands: 55, 65, 57, AA-TT, maybe even as weak as A9. You can't fault Daniel's call there, since it was Gus. A check-raise all-in by someone else would've probably made Daniel think longer, but nobody in the world is getting away from 6's full on the river on that kind of a board.

McBrainsen Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - I think the point is, that Daniel really NEEDS a full house, to bet the river. And Gus has to KNOW that Daniel has the boat. If Daniel "only" had a good straight, he might have checked in order to see the showdown. Gus really MUST have the perfect read on Daniel, to get sure that his checkraise would work.

Nov 13, 2008 - I agree, but once gus check-raised all in he gave his hand away which was that he had at least a full house and prolly had daniel beat.

JMX2280 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - You must have misread my post. Gus' image at the time is what made Daniel call relatively quickly (less than a minute?) Gus was known to pull this move off with a huge array of hands, and with the only hands Daniel can't beat (99, 88, 55), it's safe to say that in the long run, he'll be making plenty of money by calling with 6's full. Typical cooler in poker, but it's sick that it happens at these stakes.

JMX2280 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - However, I do believe Daniel could've gotten away from the hand if the river played out as follows: Gus: bet $50K Daniel: raise to $120K-$130K Gus: all-in (~$297K) Daniel would be getting something like 2.1 : 1, but at this point, the range of hands that Daniel can beat are very narrow. It's still possible for Gus to play something like 56 like this, but much less likely than how it was actually played out.

damuffinman24 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - Threw as another show where they asked them both about the hand. What gus told daniel later was that he thought Daniel had a hand like AA etc, and that he was more likely to bet the river if he checked, then if he were to bet out. He thought by betting he'd actually scare daniel off.

bulldawgs952 Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - what do u think the percentages of daniel calling is out of ten times? i would say its about 40/60. 60 % being that he calls. would u agree?

bobdylan23220 Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - Absolutely not. Daniel's not folding sixes full no matter how it plays out. And the range of hands is not "very narrow". Gus could have a straight (unlikely), 5's full (quite possible), or even trip fives (also very unlikely). 5-8 would be what I would be most worried about I guess.

Nov 15, 2008 - daniel played his read, gus gave off the correct vibe-chip play and logic in how much time he took. As well he let daniel in guesses mind catch up even though on the flop he was behind... the turn he control of the flow, the set up and the result. As well with his maniac table image gus, it paid off. Would have loved to see the past hands to set this up, didnt hurt that daniel was up as well Just a monster hand never get sick of watching this would love to know the percentages as well.
