Since I’ve seen this comment a few times: No, I don’t suspect AmSoGood is using RTA. I want to clear this up because I would hate for this video to create undeserved rumors about a great player. I’ve played enough with him to be quite confident that he’s playing honestly, plus, they are playing on PokerStars who has excellent RTA detection.

Great analyis Phil. For the AJ56 ds amsogood hand: I think as a gen sizing down when you have a high likelihood of the best showdown combined with the nut draw makes sense. But needs to obv be balanced with different parts of your range. Also I am not sure if the K778 3-bet is solver approved ever?

Where is the match going on? and what stakes? thanks for quick answer plz

BERRIS the goat!!!! great content keep it rolling on this match- love the format of commentary without knowing hands too

In the AJ37 hand on KT29, the tiny bet feels like a classic block bet that you get in Holdem these days - where you still have a range advantage so want to put a bit of money into the pot but now lack the nut advantage. And it becomes a nice exploitative line too where you get to see a cheap showdown with some hands like the one he has that would have to fold the turn to any reasonable sizing. 1/3 pot like you said you might do (and what i would do) just seems like too expensive for what the bet is trying to achieve.

This was really interesting thanks Phil

Given that real time assistance is so easily accessible I would be very surprised if the top players weren't using it. It's like bodybuilding without steroids, if you don't use it you will be crushed by someone who does. Even if one can challenge people in live games or camera setups, there is a high chance the foundation of their skills is from muscle memory eith RTA.

When you were checking the solver at 13:00, you inputted 2 hearts instead of 2 spades for the board. Would this change what the solver thinks of both plays?

So, who won? Who's the HU PLO king? In general it'd be nice to see links of any update videos if any when relevant. e.g. What happened to your 10K prop bet? Did you win? Thanks for these really interesting videos. Appreciate them.

I played this EXACT SAME HAND against Berri at 25/50 HU except river was an ace and he check called with AT on my shove. I had same draw type

This is an absolute treat for PLO players

I bet this is some deathnote style twist where phil is actually all 3 of these guys

What is stopping them from having the solver alongside when making a decision?

Harold, my late gambling gambling mentor, although he was not a great poker player, Used to ridicule the five of us for continuing to play our monthly NL 2-7 games after the casinos opened in Connecticut opened and every single losing player in the history of that game left to play table games at Foxwoods. He was right, of course. But i see even the top players seem hell-bent on seeking out challenges.

Good catch Zach and Dori. I'm not a vision expert, but I think you actually can't choose the color/suit of the board. But Phil analyses AJ65 two spades (ace high spades), two hearts on 732 two spades, one heart. On the hand he looks up in vision, the 2 red cards on the board match the ace high suit (red) so it is the correct hand to look up. It is confusing the first time you see that.

Berri's identity is pretty weird, noone i know here in Sweden knows who it is, some people claim they are 90% sure its between 2 guys but noone really knows. Everyone in Sweden knew who Isilidur1 was maybe a year before the rest of the world knew, atleast mid-highstakes players, but noone is sure about Berri and its been 15 years by now. Its good that noone knows because if his identity would come out he would be at very high risk of robberys, Sweden is terrible at this time.

I don’t suspect it, no. He’s just very well-studied imo.

is there a follow up on this one so we know who is the true king of PLO in 23

Players who have held the online PLO End Boss title at some point IMO are Patrick Antonius, David Benyamine, Yours Truly, Ben86, Sauce 123 and BERRISWEET and for the overall title i'd say that Ben86 edges out BERRI due to his longevity

I remember Ben86 was one best in PLO HU and in 6max Jeans89 was one of the best

I'm a little surprised to see Berri's red line performance. As more of an exploitative player the relationship between his red and blue line would usually be the inverse of what is shown in that graph?
