folding boats is not solid

This laydown can be made legitimately against a very select type of opponent. There are nits who only take this line with the nuts. However, Gabe did not have an adequate amount of information to make this determination. I know several winning players who only make this play with unbeatable hands. While they are easy to exploit, it takes a significant amount of history and observation to realize they only raise rivers in big pots with unbeatable hands and never deviate from this pattern.

anyone know who won the hand?

I'm with you on this one

okay, if you put him on than strong of a hand you need to do it earlier in the hand before you throw 11k out planning on folding to an all-in. Try starting a conversation or something. The 11k bet basically turns into a bet for information which isn't good when he is sitting right across from you. That said, unless it is a tournament, I am probably always getting stacked here.

"Hey donk did you have it?" "Sorry Gabe, I don't remember." ITT

why don't you just read the ****ing thread.

Not sure what you guys see that I don't. There are two Kings out and one 9. So there are two ways villain can have K9, and one way to have KK.

Their point was that K9o (in their opinion) is not in heros range pf.

DGAF you are a sick sick puppy.

Wasn't me. Villain is my boy though...

I just read the hh and all the replies (including mine) and lol at all of it. Really funny stuff, starting with the flop check back imo.

Wouldn't SB bet/bet more often or even check/call re-eval the river with KK more often than he would check/raise after GT checks back this flop?

Also Gabe's river sizing left him him with a more difficult decision to whether his opponent was bluffing or not. Raising to more or less makes it easier to fold or easier to call. Don't think this is necessarily a mistake just pointing it out

Its always a call?

LOL? I fistpump all day!

it doesnt deserve any thoughts except piling all of the chips into the middle via snap calling.

no he didnt.

Why does Gabe check flop?

because he can't rep Kx as pfr and he knows shot taking 5-10 bro is gonna exploit the hell out of him for that out of position.

whos calling KK in sb to a CO open while taking a shot.

You said it yourself "he was playing cautiously". So unless he knows the BB squeezes relentlessly hes raising KK all the time here because he doesn't want to get himself in tricky spots post flop OOP vs a good player with a hand that loses a lot of value post. So he never has KK, he has K9 before he has KK imo.

I could not think of a hand he could have but K9 given he would have to lose his mind to start bluffing in this spot, given hes previous image. You have to call though just because he cant really be bluffing but he cant really have you beat either, given k9 is probs a fold pre.

Obviously he saw a lot of value in hero folding and showing everybody

Kid ended Gabe Thaler's career guy did not cash a tourney since 2008

you almost always have to call here

he has KK or K9...possible but not likely then you lose...

Depends who the SB is but
KK he's likely to reraise preflop 3x bet the 400 open by Gabe.
K9, he's likely to flat the 400 to see a flop, so more likely this IF anything

both somewhat possible but unlikey and because they're so unlikely you have to call...IF you lose, well the other 8/9 times you win...

Played 2-5 with gabe Thaler at Wynn last week

Did you play with brad booth as well? I saw him grinding 2/5 there last week.

Suits seem highly relevant.

It's a call. The only hand that beats you is KK (not calling with K9 etc.). You haven't gotten a read on the player, which tells me you can't lay the hand down. Likely 6-6. If he has KK oh well, but you can't fold.
