How many full Houses are in your Range? I woulf guess close to zero because it is ugly to bet as big as you did on the turn with anything else than a bluff or a J. So you either have the J or nothing. And his range is also very very thin, what hand is he repping? I guess just Q10 and K10 maybe A10 and thats about it because all other full houses are either 3-bet pre or raised flop. And be honest, do you know anyone who would take this line with KK or QQ? ;-) So he is left with offsuit combos of Q10-A10, suited he would prob 3-bet pre, and A10o maybe as well. The there are a few. 

With the FD on the Turn, it makes it possible that he pickes up the Backfoor FD and decided to shove-pray you dont have the J. So there are maybe some bluffs, as well as some Jacks who he didnt want to raise turn because it looks so obv. And snap jams the River with it without thinking.

All in all i would say the snap shove within the other factors it makes it extremly unlikely, that he got us beat and we will most of the time chop. 

I wouöd give him to 5% the full house, than 15% the busted FD and 80% a jack. In my opinion its a clear call.

Hey Nick!

I have another please to you! I love your "hellmuth" style of play and find it amazinh how you find spots where other people just dont see anything. I also understand your reasoning  for example folding 88 with an 8BB stack vs an UTG open. Its curious but the your sucess says everything. :-)

But now to my please, i also really like Paul Senters approce on the game but it completely different. Like 3-bet shoving A4s 18BB vs an EP open. And well, it just works out sick as well. It would be amazing if you review one of his sessions and he one of yours. Just would be extremly interesting what you guys think you the other style of play, and why you prefer the other style of play.

Hey Tom,

There is a problem with your River bet line: What do you want to rep? 3-bet an UTG open with 20BB. Check twice on J 9 x x and value bet river. What hand can rep, that gets called by A-high (and not even AK or AQ, he would ship it pre, prob). So it just look likes a failed trap postflop. But with the check you rep exatly AK, and thats what it makes it huge +EV

Because even a bluff would not make a lot of sense in his spot, i have often times seen players think like: "well he has like 120% of pot left, i am 90% sure he has AK and on a board of J9xx9 i could have hit a good hand in his eyes, so with 36 left of a tourney with 144K for first, his is probably not willing to make a huge call with A-high" and with that he just ships it or bets really big.

Sowe know Nick is thinking differnt and plays like that are deadly against him but, even many players know him as a highstakes shark, but maybe the opponent is just a someday-player and doesnt know that things. He would possibly run it our Check on the River.

in my opinion: 3-bet getting in 99 in perfectly fine, becausr there are a hole lot of players, how are 4-bet shoving small pairs and A5s typ of hands. I didnt have a read on player but on the average 100$ tournament player, its a profitable play. And 30x deep OOP wothout the betting lead, 99 plays really tough

hey espen,

i would like see a small 4-bet to 26.8K on the Cubed with, because as you said, there are many hand he is 3-bet folding, but some of that he is 3-bet calling a small 4-bet and 5-bet shoving like 88, but not calling off you shove. What do you think about that? :-)

About the KQs hand in the warm-up. The 4 10s K Ks board is in my opinion perfect for a donk bet. With his big bet on the flop he is reping a good to very good hand like KJ or AA. Also some QJ AQ types are likely. So if you bet there like 1699, in his view it doesnt make any sense, because he would think a K would want to get more value in slowplaying. So he will for sure put you on QJ a 10 or the flush draw, and if he has a draw himself he is 75% shoving or completely bluff raise with 87s stuff. If he calls, you have 6.6 in about 8k left and you can shove any river. I guess this is the max. Value. :-)

Espen I love your Videos!! The "live" reviews is ecactly what I am looking for. It`s fantastic!!

Nice Vid! But I have one thing i dont agree. Of course trying to go for thin value is a moneymaker in poker but at 16:00 you bet K10 in a 3-bet pot on 10 9 6 4 Q. I dont see any hand you could get value from except maybe J10. All other hand, he could have are beating K10 (KJ, QJ, KQ, AQ, A10, Q10, Q9s,...) and all other hands you fold out (AJ, A9, 98, J9) so I think its a claer "Check Back"

In my opinion, your biggest mistake was to donk bet the flop and lead the turn. You are just represent what you have! A draw! I think the best play is to check/call the flop and if he bets again the turn check/raise (shove) and if a shove would be to big, you better make a small raise and shove every River...

Post | xxmmarioxx posted in MTT: 109$ 6-max MiniFTOPS
I just played the 100$ 6-max MiniFTOPS anf had a hand at the bubble where i would like to hear other opinions!

Well there was 176 players left and 174 got paid. Average ~ 100K. I had 180K and was 7th in Chips. To to my right sat an agressiv player with 155K.

Preflop: he raised to 4K and I raised on the button with Qc10c to 9.2K. Both Blinds folded but he 4-bets to 22.3K. We both are very deep so i flatted with the plan to put a lot of pressure on him later. I called. Pot: 50K

Flop: 4c4s9c. He leads out for 18.2K and i just called, to push nearly every turn. A raise here would seen very light i think. Pot: 85K He: 110K I: 135K

Turn: Kh. He bets again 28.3k and now i shoved for additional 85K. He snapps with AK, the River blanks and he was the new big overall chipleader...

What do you think? How would you play the hand?

Post | xxmmarioxx posted in MTT: A Real Bad Beat Story
Imagine: It'a a friday afternoon, you drive to the local casino to play the 5th anniversary Tournament, 330€ Buy-in 30k guaranteed WPT Structur. 3-day Event.
Well, so I sat down and as usual the opponents were not bad, they were horrible! Not even in a 1$ online tournamt you find this kind of loose-passiv players! Anyway, I finished day 1 with 150K without trouble and because there were only 60 players ( biiiig overlay) i was 3/23 on day 2...

The next day i drove to casino without any doubt that i would win the tournament with 10K on top!
Like that I restarted my grind and with just 12 players left i was the chipleader with ~400K in maybe the sofftest 300€ tourney ever when suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder... The floormen. I had to go to his office were the casino manager and his assistent were waiting. He said: "Steven, why are you called Mario on facebook?"
He pointed on his computer with my facebook profile open "and how can you be 18 when you are born in 1996?"

Well i of course didnt know what to answser so i just signed the contract that i got the Buy-in back and left the casino. :/

Pretty sad ha? haha of course it was not legal but hey! never mind! So i guess this was quit a bad beat and yeah before i forget : FUCK YOU FACEBOOK!!! :-)

You work 40-50 hours for non profit? Anyway. If you say you could make 50-100K in (i dont know what you mean wiht 3-200 & 5-500 games) playing poker i would def. take a shot!! If you say you want to play 40-50 hours a week you can easily become supernova elite and this is one of the most profital things to reach. I would say you quit your job for 1-2 months and if you still like playing for so long, then you can try it. But its only your decision ( i dont think anyone in a pokerforum would ever say you shouldnt even try, so maybe you should talk to your family or friends)

Great vid David!! I would love to see your hand history recap of the TCOOP Main Event, espacially the ICM stuff at the final table!! Would be great!! :)

Dec. 10, 2012 | 9:38 p.m.

You can give him here 66+ A8s+ A10+ KQs. I dont think he is moving here with 22-55 because he surely think he has a big edge of the table and he has still 15BB with that he could slowly grind it back, beacuse most of these players are extremly nitty @big finaltables and he can steal still a lot. So againt this range you mostly flipping and i dont like flipping in this spot. You can slowly grind up to 3-4 players then you can start you gamble, but i think you would give up a lot of edge when you drop to 15BB, when you still could play 31BB without risk...
