Here's a link to his Hendon Mob profile.

An irish guy but haven't heard much about him. I know Full Tilt are having a big festival in Galway (city in west of Ireland) this week so get the feeling it's something got to do with that but could be wrong.

They have signed nine (afaik) other new pros as ambassadors for various live poker festivals. Three for Eureka, three for Galway UKIPT and three others for ANZPT.

edit: sorry, also three others for Brazil tour.

Plays quite a lot of the livecircuit afaik, played with him at EPT Barcelona and UKIPT Cork, seemed quite solid.

I always use a four color deck when I play, but for some reason I really dislike the four color hand converter. I think it's because the font is colored and on top of that bolded. The deucescracked converter just looks a lot tidier. It would probably be awesome if only the symbols were colored.

Call911 will have almost always a stronger hand than flush if he bets when checked to him (if he doesn't bluff obviously, but yeah his value hands are almost always stronger), so if you don't bet it's more of a check fold than a check call for Ben IMO

(My 2 cents of small stakes donk, so i could be totally off, but for me this donklead merge is the only way to get value from weaker hands, you're ****ed if your opponent bets instead of checking back river)

On the flop Call911 is betting a wide range. Likely all bluffs/missed hands, along with KX+ for value. He's likely checking mid range stuff such as AQ if he has that. Ben *knows* this chooses to call.. likely to strengthen his c/c range on flop+ he might think call911 will bluff his outs or get there with a worse draw. Just as an aside..Raising the flop OOP with these stack sizes isn't the greatest thing, especially for balance.

Turn draw misses Call911 is now either still betting KX+ for value, along with possibly 1/4-1/2 of his bluff/missed hands for balance depending on how light he thinks Ben is Calling (lighter Ben peels flop, higher % he continues with bluff/missed hands etc). Ben is still getting over 2:1 and it's an easy call especially with almost 2 pot sized bets left to play for on river

River Ben leads out for two reasons:

1 - his range is more likely to have a queen in it. It's unlikely Call911 bets 2 streets with a queen, but more likely Ben could have called 2 streets with QJ/AQ/QT. This makes it so Call911 cannot check back his (likely) KX+ hand or free showdown. It's also harder for Call911 to bluf fshove here because Bens hand range is protected due to being will be somewhat weighted here way more towards the Queen.

2- Call911 may have put Ben on a draw, such as diamonds; If that's the case Ben may think at this point his Call911's range is KX+/air. If Call911 thinks Ben has diamonds/QX Ben;'s basically setting up a positive freeroll instead of checking. Call911 likely wouldn't bet river with KX (nor air - if the assumption i made is true) but he may make the mistake of calling with the former. I should note it may not be a mistake, especially if Ben does peel 2 with draws and will bluff missed draws (ex: if Ben would lead AThh, JThh on this river, then combinatorially it's not that bad, but player dependent obviously which I don't know)

Hope that helps!

short version: Qd improves Ben's hand range more than it improves Call911's hand range

There's also (AJ,J9,T9):hh. If he needs more bluff combos he can always use the weakest Kx he defends pre, which is at the bottom of his range at this point.
