Day 280 Final Hand of The 2019 WSOP

Final Hand of the 2019 World Series of Poker

The breakdown of this hand and the psychology behind is pretty straight forward. Dario Sammartino flops a flush draw. Hossein Ensan has pocket kings. Ensan bets 15 million for just under half the pot of 33 million. Dario calls hoping to realize the equity of a potential flush. However the odds were just out of his favor for calling ensans bet size to get his suited card. Dario misses and ensan fires again. This time dario in fear of revealing a weak hand that needs more to complete goes all in even though he obly has roughly a 30 percent chance of completing any hand that can beat ensans pocket kings. Dario was wreckless and could taste a glorious victory a little too early....

Day 279 The Key To Texas Hold Em Poker

The Key To Texas Hold Em Poker

" it doesnt matter so much what you have, but more what your opponent has, then you can adjust your play based off of that" phil ivey

The key is reading your opponents and trying to gauge/guess what they have in their hand the best you can. All other strategies are secondary to this. This is 90% of the game. People get caught up in the odds because its easier to focus on the math and try to give yourself an exact step by step solution for every situation. But this only counts 1 out of 50 hands. And if you play so tight you only bet on 1 out of 50 hands your opponent already has you beat. Playing for pots gets you the green. Playing to flip over winners gets you the brown. The challenge of poker is wading through the mystery well enough to make it less mysterious. The way one goes about wading through the mystery is everything. Seeking certainty through mathematics works if youre a computer but youre still not playing against one.
