That happens very very often on Pokerstars, three of a kind on the board,. I played millions of hands live and it happened maybe 2 or 3 times in my entire life, on Pokerstars I played 500 k hands and this situation happened more than 2500 times and I lost every time I called about 1500 times before I learned I have to fold because the other guy had quads every fuking time. When I saw it happens all the time I started writing down in my notebook every time three of a kind is on the board and since I started taking notes it happened 2500 times and I lost 1500 and folded 1000 times and of those 1k hands that I folded 384 times the other guy showed quads and there is 98% posibility that remaining 616 times my opponent didn't show a hand he had it. But the main point is that first 1500 times since I started taking notes I lost with full house against quads. I wrote mail to pokerstars and asked them why this happens and they said it's completely normal and that happens to everyone.

He was explaining to his wife (who knew nothing about poker) that he played a satellite and got a seat and he was the second biggest stack at his table near the bubble and all he had to do was fold for 30 minutes or so. Anyway the big stack was raising small every hand. Our hero ended up playing a hand JJ just to see a flop. As you can probably guess the flop was wonderful, J77. So the villain, the big stack, put him all in on the flop and our hero called. Villain had A3 off. Runner runner 7,7!!!

After watching the video, which I enjoyed, I did feel the title was a bit of clickbait myself. The busted jacks-full example that you provided, especially coming runner, runner was much more a brutal "bad beat" even without the player's financial need aspect considered. Years ago, I was playing a $10 - $20 limit game in a tribal casino in WA. For the second time in the same session, at the same table, against the same opponent, I made Quad 9s while holding a pocket pair. I bet again at the river but got raised, I re-raised and got raised again! I doubt that I cost myself one extra $20 chip when I studied the board for a moment and said "I hope you have it!" as I tossed in another $20 raise. (A ten-high, straight flush was possible with the board's run-out.) My opponent was savvy and just called my last raise, asking in a somewhat disgusted tone as he did so: "You got those 9s again?" Sadly, my opponent only had pocket 10s for a full house. If he would have had the straight flush the entire table would have garnered a nice windfall; and my "loser's share" of the Bad Beat Jackpot at that time would have been over $93,000.

Agree with the last point most of all. When you overbet river on an unpaired 4 flush board and you have the flushing A, if your opponent snap jams, they are either a complete and total fish or they have a straight flush. There is no third option. If there is no straight flush possible on the board, either you misread the board or your opponent did.

And this is why Doug hates the overbet sizing on the river. If you have the Ad there, then you _have_ to size down to get called by worse, or to have any chance of someone holding worse thinking that they can bluff you out of the hand. On that specific board, holding neither Kd _or_ Td, for that many BB, you have to be pretty intentional about your sizing... and about responding to a jam over any bet.

Which many players wouldn’t bother to do this deep, because they often just have the best hand and aren’t interested in targeting the Td or Kd for folds. Maybe if your large bet was all of it, you can do that, but they still have a lot of stack left. I think betting something like $40k would’ve been better here. Andy will have the Ad more often IMO, so checking to check raise seems foolish.

It's cool to see Andy comment on here recognizing that river play, props to you man...one thing that nobody has mentioned and is my personal opinion : i thought Andy clearly misread the fact that a straight flush was possible, meaning i thought that in his head he was thinking he had the nuts...the way he A. overbet the river, B. snap called the jam, C. tabled his hand FIRST which people only do in that manner when they think they have an unbeatable hand, D. did that thing right before tabling the hand where you quickly look at your cards 'double checking you have what you have', and E. immediately got up from the table to collect himself (i know you can argue it was a big loss but i'm fairly certain he's lost similarly large pots in the past and hasn't needed to get up from the table, so to me the manner which he did suggests he blundered and needed to get away for a few mins)...yes it was a cooler, but no reason someone of Andy's caliber should lose that much on the river the way the hand was played unless you misread something...anyway just my opinion

Love the new video style. I usually understand about 80% of what you're talking about but this time it was around 95%.

The problem is, when you have Ax of diamonds your opponent can't have diamonds also because you have two blockers to diamonds and the way pros talk these days, blockers are 100% to negate all possibilities.

Andy's gonna need a seat in that million dollar game🤣

I folded an A high flush once. But it was a 4/8 limit hold'em game and the Ace to 5 flush possibility was out there. Sure enough, they had the straight flush.

Andy also kinda priced himself in with that river bet sizing. Gotta consider betting less for that reason too.

Doug. I agree this spot on the river definitely seems like Mariano has a straight flush. But straight flushes are very rare. Alternatively, could it be just as likely (although rare) that Mariano picked up on some sort of tell that Andy was weak (say a visual tell) and decided to bluff minraise the river? Is it always the straight flush here? Sometimes hands turn into street poker and people make crazy bluffs.

it's fun to watch, and i don't think very instructive. I can't imagine a bigger cooler when one player flops ace high flush and the other flops straight flush. Stacks were all going in the middle no matter how each played the flop, turn, and river. Your pre-flop insights were very informative, and I watched the whole thing because I wanted to see how both stacks would eventually get in the middle.

By shoving quickly, Mariano was repping a straight flush. If he merely had a king-high flush, his quick shoving could have pushed an Ace-high flush into folding. So that was brilliant. Also, Andy could have been repping a Queen-high flush, so his $120K river bet would seem like an overbet to induce a king of diamonds to call. Also a smart move. I disagree with Doug that the $120K bet was too large. I also disagree with Doug that Andy should have sniffed out the straight flush and folded. For an extra $130K in a $500K pot, and with the nut flush, he had little choice but to call, knowing that Mariano could easily jam with the king of diamonds only.

10:01 you mean STRAIGHT flush !! 😂😂😂😂😂

i was not ready for that haircut

Doug always sounds like he’s reading a script. Cmon man

And for his next trick Mariano will go on a tour to trigger the bad beat jackpot in every casino in California

Realistically, would Doug ever have the inclination to fold this hand at any point? I can see maybe the river jam, but SPR would be a call 99.99% of the time.

There was a time when he folded 2nd nut straight 10,7vs hellmuth 10,Q nut straight in an 89J flop. He can do sick plays too.

I agree. No way you can get away from this hand. You wont play much poker if you see straight flushes or 4 of a kind when the action gets heavy. The odds will win over time. Won’t make a beat like this any more fun, but it’s probabilities (and their variances) that make poker go round.

The guy would not raise with anything at the end except the straight flush Andy having the ace of diamonds honestly shouldve easily realized that being the skilled player that he is

I'm gonna write a book "How to fold nut flushes on unpaired boards". Gonna be a bestseller. SIgn up for advanced copies.

I have no idea what Polk is talking about. I use his explanations to fall asleep

17:20 "He could have the Ace-Nine of diamonds"...uh, no he can't. LOL.

Yes, I feel like both players can't have the same card during the same hand.

I think he meant to say A8 - that would have made sense.

In nerd GTO land anything can happen!

When you rep Ace of diamonds and they fire back like it is nothing you have to realize they have the goods.

Eventhough it is a huge cooler, no pro should ever lose 1500 big blinds in this situation, especially with the check through on the flop and the 4th diamond on the river. Andy's betting looked like he never thought about Marciano's range of holdings. And I'm not especially trying to say he should consider straight flush. The bets were also bad against the sets and KK with king of diamonds he could have.

Definitely bad because of the dollar amount, but I did the same to someone in a tournament once and stacked them (won the tournament too!). I lost on Pokerstars once in a S&G with 8-9 spades, 10-J-Q spades was on the board, the other guy had the A-K spades. I feel like it can't get any worse than that LOL.

If I remember right, Mariano was pretty wasted drunk, while playing this hand (saw his vlog on this, too).

The worst bad beat in POKER was when Arieh started with a 3-4-6 draw in triple draw in The Poker Players Championship, when trying to steal and running into #2, got three-bet, and 3-5-6 was essentially priced in. He turned 3-5-6 into a wheel.

Have you seen the Quad Aces versus Royal Flush in the WOSP? The odds of that are 1 in 669 million... id say thats a worse bad beat :)

@@williamthomas7488no it’s not. The guy who hit the royal flush flopped a gut shot straight draw, and he hit that draw on the turn. Just because the other guy happened to hit quads on the river while also giving the other guy a royal flush doesn’t make it a bad beat to end all bad beats.

Grey job as always, Doug!

When it’s a min raise jam, it’s gonna be the goods.

I saw this hand live Andy had to walk away he was so pissed.

Not the worst. The worst I remember was early in the WSOP Main Event some 15+ years ago. Royal flush vs quad aces. Ouch.

I don’t think anyone can fold are high flush. I rather lose it all to straight flush then get bluff.

This hand setup and run out should be illegal. Definitely a felony punishable by law and should not exist. Brutal.

This was one of the best hands of all time. Funny as hell to watch.

@17:44 "Can we put all the nerdy shit aside... when someone under min raise jams the river on you repping the straight flush, they've got it.". Doug, let's REALLY put the nerdy shit aside you're never folding the nut flush to a small jam....EVER.

You could say he got... Stacked!

Loved it!
