So other than literally the strongest hand in our range, what hand would you choose to call with? Even have a blocker to AA and QQ. Just gonna fold 100% of our hands to a shove because we believe he won't ever shove worse for value and is never bluffing?

That’s the idea yes. Tbh the more I think about it the more I think it’s not terrible, especially if the read that he doesn’t 3bet 99 is true.
Still not folding myself in a million years lol.

Ok, then why show the AQ when you make the fold?

Who the **** wants to be known to fold that?

The downside to soul reads is that afterwards everybody knows you are a punk that will fold to a spaz shove.

Also, if the BB can only call a value bet with AA then why value bet?

If she checked it and showed a losing full house, THEN she would be godmode.

KQ most likely imo. he should be showing up with KQ more than AA tbh

Why does she have to call if she knew she was beat, this isn’t some online Mtt for 22$

Obv she had some tell that said he was super strong aa or kk and she made the hero fold, good for her

no one ever has to make any call. you can open muck AA if you have a tell that someone has KK and a K will hit the flop. doesn't make it the right play though

it’s the right call to fold if u have the worst hand , she obv thought he wasn’t bluffing and he wasn’t, like what hands could he actually have there ? Q9 ? Doesn’t seem to crazy to me, esp if she was playing with him several hours or days and never saw him bluff

she beats part of his value range...like KQ. even if he's never bluffing it's a snap

To be fair, could easily play days with a reasonable player live and never get to see a bluff, just due to low number of hands/amount of hands that get shown down

Clearly an optimal call given the amount in the pot relative to the bet and that it's the top of her range but considering that 99, KQ, Q9 and random flush draws will pretty much always bet the flop whereas AA, AQ are generally checking (and sometimes KK) its not as if you should be thrilled about calling if you knew he had no bluffs. How often do you see people check the flop with KQ or 99 in his shoes? Of course it's possible, but you almost never see it happen from people who don't suck.

The biggest problem with folding (in this bizarr-o world where you somehow know he's never bluffing) is how much of his range is another AQ where you lose 750k chip by folding, not because there're a large number of value hands that you beat. Also relevant is that when he has AQ, if he checks the flop, it's a lot more likely that he'll bet the turn whereas AA and KK he'll be more inclined to check a second time.

Funny this hand, when you are not online gto bot there is all pretty standard. Donks on my sportsbook 3betting only AA,KK,sometimes QQ and AK playing often like AA, so also 3bet. Then not betting on flop trying to set trap, then scared on turn by Q not betting again and never going allin with AK on river scared of QQQ, but always allin with KK and AA. Easy fold.

So what is the standard tip amount for binking the main or other multi-million dollar score? I agree that it does seem a bit absurd to just tip a standard percentage regardless of the amount won. If I am going to essentially donate tens of thousands of dollars of my winnings I would much rather that cash go to a good charity. If you don't mind sharing Doug, what if anything, did you tip on your little one drop win?

Loved this video Douglas! I too would love a more in depth video on tipping. I'm playing a lot more tournaments than cash lately and just the other night I min cashed at the LAPC at Commerce but was already in for two bullets and when I was collecting my win I thought to myself "F-this, they already take so much from the buy-in I'm not leaving anything" as I'm staring directly at the tip bowl.

And, normally I'm a generous tipper at restaurants, or for a technician that has to crawl under my house to hook up the internet and even the dealers of the cash games so I'm not adverse to tipping. BTW (side note) at Commerce the dealers at $5-5 and $5-10 have to pool/share their tips. The floor told me this when I was filling out my 1099 form after I won a bad beat jackpot recently. So no matter how much I gave the dealer for the bad beat she'd have to share it with the other dealers. That's kind of bogus. The only way around this would to arrange a meeting outside of the casino to ensure she got to keep the entire amount, which I was not about to do. Plus, you also have to factor the tax implications on the tip amount you're giving away.

I know, TL;DR but back in the early/mid 00's there was a lot of discussions on how much was appropriate to tip on a big win, specifically with Dnegs, who claimed at the time he didn't tip (or rarely tipped).

What say you Doug? I appreciate your opinions/takes. Keep up the great work!
