This is probably the one tell I consciously try not to give off. Whenever I am betting the river or jamming at any point, I force myself to take about 15 seconds to pretend I am thinking.

100% agree, have seen it. To add I see many recs betting instantaneously when the bottom card or middle card pairs as a bluff. I see this often.

This works both ways. I have been in villain's position with 8's full or 7's full and snap shoved against more experienced players as a reverse tell. They see it as a bluff and call. It really is opponent dependent as you say. If it's a less experienced player I would call every time on that runout.

I wouldn't say tight is good. Better to say "tighter is righter". if someone is button raising any 2 cards and you're playing 20% vpip on the bb, you'll lose too many blinds to ever compete with him long term. If he is raising 100% and you're calling with 70%, now you're got a better edge on him

That's interesting. I would have thought his quick action would indicate the 8 had hit a set for him, possibly a boat. Always learning something new for this rookie.

I definitely have had a fair amount of rec players snap shove river on me when checked to. Yes a good amount have been bluffs but quite a few have hit their draw or improved somehow on the river. On this particular board with your hand not blocking any draws and also blocking hands that beat you I do like a call here. Nice analysis as always 👍

I never snap call, jam, or fold. Give everything at least a little thought, even 5 seconds, and it's one less tell to worry about.

Bart's point @4:33 about taking the betting lead for value at $1/3 is so true. Bart's commentary seems geared towards tougher games with monster stacks where "taking the lead", or just "betting large" isn't usually optimal.

Question! Could you In this situation, use a blocking bet river as $65-95? Would it be a good move to deny equity to AQ , AK and make sure the draws wouldn’t bluff you? Thanks

Amazing read.... had the J9dd done a bit of chip dance and squint his eyes for a bit and then jammed, maybe Hart Banson folds?

This video was gold! Thanks Bart!

i actually had villain on a KQ/KJdd. i believe i mentioned it on another of ur vids about small stakes quick jams n them being bluff heavy. the villains long pause on the turn smelled like a flush draw, too. i do look 4 quick river jams. if i have trip 8s, i bet $250 75% of the time looking 4 value. Grt hand n call.

Super informative vlogs, Sir. Thank you so much.

That's all well and good in theory but the fact of the matter is that bad players don't even think about the process like the better ones.

Slow action also is a good tell that its a bluff. When someone jams or bets big on the river after taking a considerably long time, and judging by the type the hand he's trying to represent, you can tell that a person is bluffing because there was no need for them to take a longer than usual time to think about their supposedly "big hand". You have to also consider the type of the hand being represented, so it doesn't apply in all situations.

Very cool Bart. A lot of my friends at home games snap bet or snap jam the river when they hit what they were chasing so this is tough against very rec players but i def agree that regs and pros think a bit before value betting rivers

@Haanski

this is an interesting caveat. but you are right, most good thinking "pros" or regs or whatever, will take the time before value betting, even if they rivered the nuts. When they snap jam they are doing it as a reactionary thing because they know it is a card they want to jam on, and they think it will look stronger to snap jam than to think about it so they just do it quick hoping it looks strong. Good players like Bart can sniff that out though. nice hand and good call at the end here.

That’s definitely a common tell and it is a polarizing bet when someone insta-shoves. I have seen it just as often the other way however where they have the nuts.

Interesting hand. Nice read. If villain is a solid player I'm reading the hand as you did. But describing him as very much recreational I assumed he had a painted A. Informative stuff. Thanks

I was in this exact spot like a year ago and he snapped all in and I called based on the tell and got showed the nuts. I hate poker. Let's go back to 2000 poker: Player: All in Opponent: Well if you have a better hand than me you win, I call. Or just have everyone play like Phil Hellmuth. Then poker would be alright.

Without the live tell, I would’ve folded thinking that he’s only going to raise pre-flop 7X with some kind of ace king type holding and then getting counterfeit on the river. I probably would’ve folded, but having this information you can see it’s pretty obvious and I guess given the equity you have to think of all the hand combinations you’re winning 33% of them as you said great information I actually like these almost better where it’s from your point of view, especially this where something negative happens on the river

If I ever got Bart's phone number then this "please" at 9:26 would be the ringtone ... I realize this will never happen, but a guy can dream right?

If i know someone is bluffing and i have a bluff catcher. i will either check or bet like i am nervous basically i give a tell on purpose to draw them in 9 out of ten times it works a treat

Great analysis, I have seen a similar scenario before.

When someone is this bad playing a story that makes no sense (e.g. he would have thought about raising the turn with a set or 2 pairs and thought about the river all in), I'd like to take a few more seconds to get a 2nd "confirmation read" on the river. Probably 90% of the time, I would go with my first read and wouldn't be able to get away from that read but the 2nd read/nonread could let you know if he's capable of being deceptive enough to play AK, set, 2 pairs that boated up in the same fashion. He showed weakness on the turn, showed extreme strength on the river all in. What kind of strength did he showed when he said all in or pushed his chips in? What kind of strength did he show while you decide what to do on the river. This is all pretty important.

Love the video thanks for the content

@nicholasdemetriades9154

Probably the only 8 this rec player would raise to 20 pre flop would be 8-8. Possibly 8-A suited if he's a bit looser.

If the villain is a casual rec player, and he did have AK... once the A came on the turn and he bet and you called, I would think a rec player would reasonably snap-jam any river that wasn't a diamond if he was an aggressive type player. Because like you said the rec players don't value bet enough and tend to jam instead without thinking about the bet.

Like deer staring at headlights. Bart's got them rec players in his sights.

Great hand Bart!

Really fascinating video

Unfortunately good players know this about pacing. I got snap raised all in just the other day when the flush came in and he had the nut flush. Admittedly that situation required less thought from him, but he did use pacing to induce a call from me.

At my tournament last Friday the guy snap went all in on the river and I had the third nuts I folded because he snapped All In if he would have thought about it for a minute I probably would have called... he had the nut flush

His range is polarized and you are getting 2:1. Seems like a call even without the timing tell. Also, "strong when weak, and weak when strong" with rec players.

Had AQ 2 pair on the flop in 2-5 last night, made it 60$ pre flop both times, lost to trip 5’s on the flop both times, lost it all. Talk about tilt

Sorry about that. Bad luck to have it happen twice. Variance. You will reverse the scenario next time. Did u play the hands well? Yes. Forget about it and move on. Shit happens in poker. You have to stay strong mentally.

What about 78 for a boat or 88 for quads. I dont think villain always jams over a check-raise on turn there. 88, although unlikely, may be trapping in hope of a safe river, while 78 is probably does a bit trapping and bluff catching. Maybe the combos of these hands are insignificant when stacked against bluff combos, but villain can def auto-jam with the nuts, no? Agreed, a thinking player would think and try to gauge max value, but bad players can also show up with nuts...

@cj7139

Exactly, the key to this hand is how thin the villain is repping, way more so than the speed which he shoves the river.

My only question is do most 1/2 or 1/3 players think like that? I never play either game but I can’t stand playing 2/5 (which I used to jump in while waiting for 5/10 or 10/25 games to go). I give people too much credit and I can’t play right (mostly because they aren’t playing the way I expect them to and I can’t put them on a range nor do I fold certain hands for the amount of money bet). Many of those lower game players don’t understand position, kickers, proper bet sizing or calling ranges. Granted Im talking about years ago (when I was playing full time) and to their credit, people play much better and much different now but also because of all of the poker instruction available. I think all games have better players in them than 20 years ago. I just question my understanding of the 1/2 or 1/3 players which are the lowest buy in games in most casinos and them playing a way in which I can put them on hands. They are also almost always recreational players. They may be decent recreational players and I’m not saying anything bad about that but it’s rare to get pros in those games unless it’s a live stream (with most other players being solid) or because they are waiting for a table to open. They also have meet up games now so maybe in that too.

NH Sir. A few details are missing that I'm curious about. Is the villain drinking? If so how much has he had to drink? Does he know who you are? Also, is there any history between the two of you that aided your decision to call a pot size bet with a hand that can virtually only beat a bluff?

He literally just explained the tell and why snap all-in'ing with AK/AQ/any 8 makes no sense on the river. Also any 8 would probably not just call a raise on the turn due to the diamond draw, we probably would have seen more action before the river with these other hands versus a diamond draw.

Maybe he has 77, diamonds, 8, u can’t have an 8 here. If he waits 20 secs and bets u fold?

In statistics, variance is the squared difference between the outcome and the expectation... positive and negative really don't apply. You can increase and decrease variance though. I get what you are trying to say though

I played a hand last week when the flop came all diamonds and I hit a set of 3’s by I bet 10 into a limped pot and get instantly raised to 25 on A36 of diamonds Alarm went of for a moment because of how fast he raised. Turn black king I check he bets 40 I call river he instantly shoved his last $120. I beat all AK hands and call. He shows 47 of diamonds. This tell didn’t work for me.

Interesting. I think people snap jam with the nuts too, so maybe it’s polarizing, and in this case he most likely didn’t have the nuts.

Absolutely gotta agree here

As others say, some players at this level are soooo bad they will snap shove with the (effective) nuts. But that seems pretty rare. Bart, you say that people will hesitate a bit in order to think about how to max value. A good player would definitely do that, but I think many players at this level aren't that good. But many players aren't that good but are good enough (which isn't very good at all) to know that when they have the nuts they need to convince the other player they aren't strong, so they will hesitate to try to convince you that they're weak. So this is another reason to call: a not-so-good player snap shoving is a sign they are trying to convince you they are strong, which means they aren't. Does this sound right?
