There’s an argument that this is the play because it’s Keating. Everyone knows you don’t bluff Keating, however… If Keating’s strategy is to advertise his style on HCL for reaping benefit during private games, then he might have a guiding policy of “say yes to big spots that show I’m a gambler” and then in private games he always shows up with the nuts in these spots

you can understand how good that bluff was when a player like Keating tanks with the Khigh flush there. Insane play by Handz!

@@TheJourneyIsWhatMatters It's just a different game when the money matters. This is one of the few hands I've seen Keating play where you can actually see him feel something. He looks stressed to make the call with second nuts (as he should be in that spot..but for a smaller pot certainly would just snap it off). Also, when he calls you can see his reluctant acceptance of his fate to lose to the nuts, only to quickly turn into extreme relief to win the hand. This is not normal for Keating. Imagine winning all in 200bb deep in a .01/.02 game. Do you feel anything? No. Probably not. It's easier to be humble and less emotional in those spots when you don't feel anything. Don't get me wrong, Keating is still great, but Keating's conduct is not anything exceptional here even though I love him on the show and his personality.

@@jaredf9055 I don't think anyone can say with certainty to what degree the money matters for Keating. I agree that the theme with him is that none of this money matters, but that's all speculation. I agree we can see a change in his demeanor and that he is "feeling" something, but I think that "feeling" is more of him just wanting to make the right play. I don't think it's fair or accurate to assume his character/demeanor is tied to the value he places on the money - we have literally seen no evidence of that - and you yourself just said you perceived him appearing "stressed" for the first time given the size of this pot...well, look how he handled himself...I'd say just as well as if it was a pot half the size or 5 times the size. I guess I'm a little confused - it sounds like you are saying we shouldn't really commend Keating for the way he carries himself because the money doesn't matter to him....but then you also admit that it seemed like the money in this pot mattered to him? It seems like that's what you're saying and we all saw how he carried himself in this pot (where you say the money might have mattered) - he carried himself the same way as he always does....which is my point, he's humble and stoic no matter what...

Would not always work with Ben. I ran this hand many times, well using Great and Balanced Players. Against a well balanced player, the worst hand you can call with is a Non-Broadway Queen High Flush. In Handz' shoes, an equilibrium player will have the K high Flush as the rock bottom of his rasing range trynna target the Q high flush. But balanced players always have Bare Ace as a bluff. Hence that enables Q high flush to call the river sometimes in Alan's seat and K high flush to raise in Handz' seat

Keating is a legend. Big play 🙏🙏🙏

The really sick thing is that Alan Keating probably only beats a bluff there. Q high flush just calls against that river sizing. Very ballsy play by Handz

Great to see. Alex is total class.

A brilliant hand played in the spirit of the game. That said, it's a snap call on the river with 3-1 odds and the board play out

I said in the comments on the live stream that a +1-Mil pot would happen…and of course I fall asleep

Handz thought he could get Keating off a hand something like a straight or a smaller flush.

The most surprising thing is how long it took keeting to call. Historically he would of snap called with a 3 high flush there. This means his game is improving to even think about it that long that he could be beat. based on how it was played, its hard to put him on an ace high flush there.

The stakes are not comparable by any means, but looking at him when he gets called - I know that feeling. Back in 2006 I lost the equivalent of 8 times my rent in one hour and my mind (and stomach) struggled frantically to make sense of the madness.

From a Poker Standpoint, thats a Massive PUNT. Keating did well to Lead Huge on the River

What a play.... how he identified that even K and Q high flushes can be put under massive pressure on that board... and the balls of steel to actually pull the trigger... sick.

Would be great lead with 89 of spades, unblocking the nut and second nut flush and more chance therefore for opponent to blast the blocker, where as chk raising just gets folds
