Re: High Stakes Poker 4/2
Awesome episode.Great lineup, great players and great plays.
Also, both gods were playing.
I enjoyed it.
And, btw, that KK fold by Ivey is pretty standard.
I think, he folds anything but set in this spot, this is for 500BB and Booth is representing a made hand or a huge combodraw (lol at those who said, he's slowplay a set or a straight, this isn't Nl50).Even if you add a bluff as a 10% possibility (as Harrington suggests), it's a fold, that what makes Booth' play so great.
He also had 20% equity even if called (gutshot + 4% of bd flush).
Aba played good, just didn't get anything.
I also loved Ivey's play in KhJh hand.Low limit players would just call and try to hit the draw.MSNLers are betting/3betting/4betting for sure.Ivey knows that this board could hit an early position limpers very hard (including a set) and he'd be a dog if he starts shoving and gets called, so he has a discipline just to call twice and play this one more slow.Brian could easily limp with Ak or AA here.
Actually, his strong bet on the turn shows that he did put Brian on a set or top 2.Noone is calling with bad A when the 3rd heart hits, thinking Ivey has something worse.
