I love Phil “The Genius” Ivey and I hate Tony G. – but this hand is played pretty superbly by Tony… IF YOU’RE A MORON.
Phil should only call this with a set, 64 or MAYBE J7.
This call is just sickness, and I think he wasn’t too proud of himself afterwards.
Phil Ivey might really be the best in the world. He knows Jennifer Harman’s range, he knows his jacks might be in trouble against her pre-flop range, he awaits the board, calls the turn to catch the 2barrel and folds the river. Excellent.
Here’s a comment I fully agree with from the youtube page;
Harman/Ivey is fairly standard. she raises and cbets with AK, KQ + the obvious big pair, but he beats some of her range, and a call on the turn stops a 2 barrel and sets up river check/steal or check/value raise if she was light.
Its Howard “Prof” Lederer that amuses me. WTF is he doing calling an EP raise + a call with A rag? Not enough equity to make it profitable against a 8 handed EP range and if he thinks hes going to make up for it by outplaying those two postflop, he’s delusional.
Dario plays the players, not the chips. He plays the position, he plays the hands, he doesn’t mind the size of the pots – he just wants to take the pots down. We’ve seen that in High Stakes Poker, Dario Minieri LOVES to move those chips!
People WILL start playing back at you more strongly if you have a loose and hyperaggressive table image like Greg Raymer does. Be prepared to call reasonably weak, and make sure to identify the players who are smart enough to notice your play and adapt.
High Stakes Poker hans’t always been good for Daniel Negreanu. Sick sick hand in which he maybe could have folded the river… Erick Lindgren — you’re a luckbox and a douchebag.
