It really is a bad bluff though. Check raising the flop/all in river are the red flags. What are you representing there. A 10 is never check raising the flop and thats the only hand hes representing to do that. If he has 99 and lower hes not shoving river. JJ and up doesnt make sense or this hand woulda been all in preflop. So you tell us pro what hands make sense that he actually has with the line he took.

Lots of his check-raise bluffs would contain a J due to it's interaction with the T, so when that card hits, it's the perfect one to rip it and put A high and underpairs in a nasty spot. If he value shoves Jx here, this is a world-class bluff. He will sometimes run into QQ-AA/AJ, but there are lots of hands he folds out with this.

The _constant_ tanking, on _every hand,_ on _every street_ … has become absolutely insufferable. I never thought I would be the person complaining about something like tanking, since I’ve always been a very deliberate, methodical player; But, the amount of tanking has become so absurd, that I don’t even want to play live tournaments anymore. Players don’t seem to realize that: _You want to play MORE hands with weaker players-not less. The more tanking there is, the less hands you play._ And they also don’t seem to realize-that, tanking has gotten _so bad,_ that many amateur/weaker players-no longer play in tournaments because they no longer enjoy playing, due to how slow the play has become. In case you guys didn’t know - Playing against _less_ bad players, is also -EV.

Because a lot of Addamo's bluffs contain a J due to it's blocker properties for the T and backdoor draws. It's very possible Addamo was bluffing OJ/J9 and is good enough to value shove it. If the J doesn't come and it's some low brick, he probably calls it off.

On the river it is just a prayer "hope he doesnt have a pair and will fold" allin. If Zhang had a full house I doubt he would fold, by the same logic he should have called A high also.

@tecwzrd

2 жыл бұрын

Hard call on Ace high considering any pair would beat it. As played, when Addamo bet 48K (little more than 1/2 pot at the time) and considering all 10s on the flop he was either repping that he had a 10 or another decent pair for the boat. By the end with the river there was no flush threat and the all in bet was either pure bluff or he was beat. Most would not have called with only Ace high unless you got a really good read on your opponent. We also have no clue on past hands and if Zhang had gotten burned much by calling prior.

@marcom.carioba8776

Again, he’s not repping any hand by raising the flop given the positions. EP has all the range advantage on that board. Also, he eliminates all smaller pairs in his range by taking the c/r, bet, all in line. He’s only repping quads, which he doesnt even raise all the time..

check raise would've suggested pocket 6s - pocket 9s, can't discount the 10 too cuz that's definitely in addamo's check-raise range. addamo would've most likely checked river if he had a pocket pair cuz his hand has showdown value. i actually think he would shove a 10 cuz if he went for value it would've been too suspicious. there were probably only 2 hands that zhang could put him on, J10 and Q10. great bluff by addamo but i feel like zhang still could've called knowing addamo is very capable of pulling off bluffs like this.... check raise flop and bombing river just doesn’t make too much sense in this hand
