    @DeusPayne If a bankroll is ever going to prevent you doing anything in a game you are playing at the wrong limits

    That’s a very very good call, when the Ad comes there are soo many hands that beat the sevens.
    I don’t think I would have called that river bet, even against the ultimate bluffer.

    @xtxoxpxd No?

    @Happyduderawr If it were durrrr, he would have overbet all-in on the river.

    i just realized lagasaurus should start range merging

  • 5 January 20128:26 am Foreverguga1

    good vid. But usually people calling themselves LAG are complete nits. And guys like “Ineverbluff” are the wildest players out there. Kind of a reversed psychology thing. Guess Lagasaurus reversed it twice

    Phil, do you have any articles on micro stakes or how to become hero from zero ? :D

    Gandolf is a genius

    phil galfond is trolling lolololol

  • 5 January 201210:15 am DeusPayne

    @EGarrett01 most players would fold there and employ that strategy but as Phil pointed out if you are getting the right odds against that player’s large range of hands, which he regularly is 3 barrelling (especially on that obvious turn and river) then you need not pass away the value. If a player was able to analyse the hand as well as Phil did then the only thing preventing a call there would be a players bankroll.

    So what does this mean faked played against? Free chips? What?

  • 5 January 201210:45 am caposton

    I would have folded the turn. That’s why Phil is the man.

    @mussman717word Do you know who your bad mouthing? It’s PHIL MUTHAFUCKING GALFOND

  • 5 January 201212:29 pm peteyc1988

    i got it! just call cause he might be bluffing

  • 5 January 201212:50 pm DerniereFan

    thought he had 88-99 or 10s , comes out it was all bluff 😀

  • 5 January 20121:32 pm Soona25

    @EGarrett01 i think everyones missing the point of the vid it is not “how to make sick hero callz” its deeper than that. Its a way to look at things and apply to more situations than just this completely [intentional] exaggerated side of the spectrum example given

  • 5 January 20122:01 pm mussman717word

    Check call with pocket 7s against the most loose-agressive player you know? What the fuck is your problem? You need to raise the fucking pot as high as you can after the flop. Make him think you have the King, dumbass. Even if he calls your bluff, shit, you still got 7s.

  • 5 January 20122:50 pm JRaab311

    @EGarrett01 but if you think your good you call its that easy…

  • 5 January 20122:56 pm lafavini

    I’ve watched him in high stake poker, there is no way he would make a call with a board like that. this was just a demonstration on what could possibly happen in certain hands, i think, and the goal is to think of certain angle of the game…kind of helpful a little.

  • 5 January 20123:05 pm Sonny208208

    this works for high stakes, you cant aplly this way to play in lower tables, if you try to always make hero calls youre gonna go broke. so pretty nice, but no useful….at least for most of the people…..YET…
