STRAIGHT FLUSH vs. NUT FLUSH!!! How To Know When You're Beat

What's up guys? Doug Polke here and welcome back to another episode. The hands of the apostles today were going to take a look at a pretty sick refrigerator that resulted in a tremendously disappointing pot in our hand on the day

when

Mike will hit the top

flush

against a

straight

flush

. Will Mike lose big or will he find a way to escape and he will place a bet in front of you? They are on fire thanks dirty bird. I try to make it strong for you. I'm glad you appreciate it. Dude, our hand started 2 to 5 with a $10 straddle and Harlan tied to open it with the 10 9 offsuit.

Now this is a hand that's a little too loose to raise here from under the weapon plus 2 that you definitely want to try to fold. this preflop the action folds for us on the button it looks like 10 8 suited now this is a place where you can certainly try to play your 10 8 sitting you have position you get three bats and put some pressure you could also call and use your position after the flop, there are a lot of different ways you can do it and I like his decision to go ahead and call the small blind possum, look at the suited queen ace and in this spot any absolute crusher

know

s it.

They are so far ahead of their opponents range that they all make the same decision, he makes the call anyway, everyone else gets out of the way unless it's a flop, oh my god Joe we're on the action boards Tonight, my friends, happy. flops the stones he flops the absolute nuts the flop comes Jack 9 7 with two diamonds once again a great table here in the poker hands we have the nut

straight

with a new flush here for Faraz we also did not make a flush draw for pass and I have a middle par with a channel ball for Harlan.

Paul still passes, now Harlan has the opportunity to sift him if he wants to and decides to stop him at the well control. I like the feeling with a mid pair and a channel, I certainly want to. to check and look to play a few streets later, now to the button with the nuts and a flush draw, you absolutely have to bet and build this pot, you have an amazing hand, that's the golden rule here in poker hands and you have a good hand. You should mainly bet and raise, but you decide to play slow and take a turn and redraw the diamonds and that's what we can do with this.

No, no, no, no, no, no, that's ridiculous now, the apostle, but the board is even, so the apostles won't go broke here, okay, you

know

he'll lose a lot, but he won't go broke and I just want to point out that this is another time tonight, we are in the passing area, there is a sign ahead, it stops. flush and will probably lose in this hand. I mean, how does he leave here besides the board hearing that no, he's leaving, he pushed McKee? Well, you can make that mistake because obviously we will see an increase now. or on the river so luckily to pass this pot he got this pot it wasn't inflated there could have been so much action on the flop there wasn't the turn comes out a seven and now Mike's actions I think in this situation Mike mainly wants to be betting his hand ah, the table has a couple, so it seems a little more stressful than it would be in a preparation period where it would just be the nuts, but in this situation there are now a few ships, however, it's very, very unlikely that one of the players has done it. a ship, let's think about this, if any of the players had a set on the flop, they will bet on the flop themselves so they can get some equity from the boxes, like flush draws and straight draws, they are not going to check and fold Because this board falls badly, there's a lot of value there, so if no player flops a set very often, what are their two pairs?

Can they really have? I mean, if they had two pair, they'd probably bet it too. but many times hands like Jack's seven or nine seven or Jack nine types of off-suit varieties of those hands will not even look to play preflop, so there are almost no ships in range of your opponents, so this place

when

you have with the max color, you could definitely check, raise or just value bet. Mike decides to go ahead and bet 125 on the value. It's definitely a reasonable play for Mike and not the stock in Harlin. This is a bit of a difficult point from the parent's center channel, but there is no flush draw, so they are especially three-way.

I don't mind letting it go and a hand-to-hand pot. I would look to float here and play some later streets, but since you don't close out the action, I don't mind getting out of the way. to freeze the button, you have the stone products, the straight flush and the nice thing about this is that it doesn't block any of the other strong hands like the nut flush or the pots. There are so many hands that the deck can have that they will look to call. go up in this situation you absolutely have to go up and to build this boat, make it five or six hundred dollars short and let's try to make as much money as we can on the river.

This is a great place to bluff. I decided to do it. slow play once again let's call and take a river and now we're just going to bet call and for us completely free Mike, you know, and I don't blame myself for us, he thinks he has all the good cards except that he doesn't If the table is paired, I can have many hands. He doesn't have side diamonds, but he can have a lot of hands that would call, but if you're awesome, you know he only used to call, so now. You know, we're in the passing zones, but I would point out that Mike has played this so slowly with the river of checks open that he knows it's like a little pocket in the bad corner.

Mike doesn't even want to pay, don't look at this, so Mike. He lets go-oh, wait a minute, is he going to run? oh, he'll go for a skinny man value race or maybe not. I mean, for us we could easily push here. It's a push the size of the pot, so it almost seems like a bluff. the increase is that a minimum click no, he just calls the river comes in off state and can I just say how incredibly nauseating the commentary is during these hands it's like every hand with check is he can get away he's not going to screw up he's the paired board he could have been worse she is possible he can escape I think he can escape he knows it oh he even worried about the river oh that's a surprise he doesn't even want to bet the river oh he barely wants to call this yes, I wonder why it is well, in fact, I find a lot of the comments very suspicious now that there are people like Justin Curtis who I think are very likely to be involved in some way, so we have this meme guy who looks to the side and says comments strangers when when when polish has to make a decision I think there is certainly some possibility that these guys are involved especially Justin there are also some people that you know that just aren't involved ma'am thanks for tuning in tonight there could be many others .

People who are in the middle now I think it's unlikely that many will get more involved because if that was the case there probably would have been a leak at some point, but when a lot of things are going on, that's suspicious and there are people talking about this. It is quite possible in the hand that he was worried about whether he will make the right play or fold when he is behind and how he will find a call when he is ahead. You know, when you see people you know constantly trying to reason. If you find out why Parcels' right decision will be the right one, then you should be a little suspicious because they don't do the same with other players.

This is specifically a raisin-based phenomenon. The River is an 8. Now, once again, this should not be the case. a place where apostles fear a ship now with 78 suited is possible, there is a combination of that and pocket eights are certainly a hand that could be in play now too, there are some combinations of that too, so There are some hands that we lose in the river, they wouldn't have lost before, but in general, we will be ahead of the top pair, ahead of the trips, ahead of the ladders, there will be many hands that will take us straight to the river. hands like tens in hand hands like Jack ten suited hands to ten nines there are many other hands that could have made us straight here and that you can get value from, so I think in this situation it is possible to bet or continue raising I don't care shoot the turn myself.

I'd rather find the river, but you'll definitely have to try to get some money on possible checks and your opponent bets a ridiculously small amount on the river. Now it's time for a clear raise from Fossil he has the max flush looks like he's a pointer he has a straight maybe it looks like it was something too weak this is an obvious run for anyone sweeping the games so he might not make that in fact, Pasal is a god and looks deep and was the soul of the opponent and realizes that he has no chance of prayer.

Mike has played this so slowly with open checks in the river. He knows it's like this bad little room. Dad and Mike don't. I don't even want to say don't look at this, yeah, it's like he knows he knows, no, it's like he knows the guys, it's really like he plays so well, it's like he knows in the pass zone, damn, this It is a tilt warning. Also, you don't even consider the fact that Mikan raising can raise four values ​​here, which is a very reasonable and standard play for people, and when every time he starts looking for chips he acts surprised, then why are you surprised that is this so? one thing and then doesn't even try to explain the consideration for wanting to increase no, no, it's going back to the other size, going back to the only call, you know, it's the framework of the discussion, you know, it's definitely possible that they I got so used to that he won that it warped his mind and his perception, in which case you know that's how I assume it happened, but at the same time the whole framework of the discussion is very suspicious and I think we should take a very close stance.
