well there is all that also there is 9 times out of 10 there are 4 cards on the board that 1 pair beats his 8's lolAgainst a random casino player, calling a 2/3 pot bet from an EP raiser withon a
runout is likely very -EV.
But there are a few things which tip the scales towards this being at least a marginal call.
Update: ran this hand through GTOWizard and aside from Dwan's error of raising
- Villain is a seasoned pro capable of turning anything into a bluff here
- Villain is notorious for playing very wide ranges (although seems to have dialed it back quite a bit in recent years)
- Villain is running cold tonight
- Often, folks (even seasoned pros) start to press the action when running cold
- Line from EP raiser is pretty weak on a Broadway heavy runout (checks flop, declines to check raise, checks A turn)
- Given a monotone flop, natural that EP checks some portion of his value range, but imagine the top of his value range is often cbetting here
- E.g., AA, KK, QQ, JJ
- Also his big draws or vulnerable top pairs
- E.g., AK, KTs, ATs
- Krish has the
, so at least blocks some portion of villain's value range (but, also unblocks most of villain's value range, too)
- Krish has done a good job of pot control to 'earn' the right to call
from EP, both players played it fine. According to GTOWizard, @Windwalker should be calling 41% on this river.

As indicated by the GTO number crunch either calling or folding at extremes would be incorrect and exploitable.call down that board often with 8s and see how well you do in the long run lol
Starts around the 5:20 mark.
I'd love to know what Krish is thinking here. That was interesting.

And sometimes it turns into when keeping it real goes wrong.sometimes you just want to catch a mofo in the act!
I Like garett gg
or also how about 2.5 to 1 on you're money and whats 8k to Krish lol thats like a Penny to most people hahahayeah that doesn't look so bad at all given how the hand played out, especially the check/check turn.
Dwan's reaction didn't look like he put Krish on 88.Do you think Dwan put Krish on 88? I'm sure he did. his best bluffs are the hands that do not beat 88/77 etc. It is totally reasonable to put him on the nut straight or nothing at all.
i think he was kinda surprised about it to say the least.Dwan's reaction didn't look like he put Krish on 88.
Am I the only person who plays poker because they enjoy both the social aspect and the challenge of trying new things and improving a skill over time?
If I had the money you can bet your ass I’d slather myself in chum and hope in with the sharks if it meant I could play with Ivey, Dwan, etc…..

no yeah of course go and play for 3 days but dont make it a regular thing these players Dedicated their whole lives to this game over the long haul Krish or any of us would get smashed nothing wrong with that they are legends of the game a small sample size is one thing if you were to play with those guys say 3 times a week for a year very unlikely he \or any of us would be positive moneyAmen brother.
"So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for.” ― George Leigh Mallory

true I agree I am happy for him aswell that had to be awesome f the MoneyWTF am I to say what someone who has earned their money should do with it. Especially if it brings them honest joy. Bless anyone who has found those things in life that bring them such challenge, joy, and fulfillment. I have no place or reason to judge another man like that, but when I see someone grabbing life by the horns and or riding a wave with a big ass smile on their face I am going to throw up the hang ten sign and cheer them on, not hate on them. I know on that day Krish did something memorable and significant to him. That is cool thing and probably more than I did that day.
I can appreciate the constructive criticism here, but do we have a run down of how this hand played out? Hard to analyze play when we doing even know how the hand unfolded. We don’t know what’s Krish’s logic for making the call. There’s not enough information available here to be highly critical of anyone’s play.
Just my 2 cents.
