Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6261314, member: 397965"] It was indeed farcical, and its also fairly tragical to listen to some of the commentary from a stream like this one. On many occations the commentators came so close. But apart from Veronica and I think Casey Mills, they never quite managed to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Towards the end of this stream there is another very interesting hand, which I had not watched, when I wrote my post. Remember that this is the stream, where Postle just check-called with the nut flush on a paired board, when his opponent had a straight flush and made a very small river bet with only something like 600$ behind, since it was early in the stream. In this other hand towards the end, Postle flop top pair with KJ on KT7, bet the flop, get called, and now check the turn. His opponent had JT and picked up equity, since the turn card gave him a flushdraw, so he bet, and Postle called. So far pretty standard, and the river was a J giving them both two pair with Postles of course being the best. Postle now check again, and his opponent bet for somewhat thin value. Board was KT7-4-J with no flush possible, but the J gave both AQ, Q9 and 98 a straight, so two pair was not exactly the nuts. The commentator Scott even speculated, that this would have to be just a check-call for Mike, but once again Mike made the perfect play and went for a small check-raise of 900$, which got called. The same guy, who earlier in the stream just check-called with the nut flush, when his opponent only had 600$ left behind. In this case Mikes opponent even had more behind, so by check-raising Mike opened up the door to potentially be exposed to a very unpleasant 3-bet, which a normal player would usually have to strongly consider folding to because of all the possible straights, that were now on the board. But somehow Mike apparently knew, that was not going to happen, so he went for the thin mint value raise against an opponent, who had a slightly worse hand than his. After the hand the commentators continued to talk about it, and Scott went on about the fact, it was a very thin range, Mike was targeting. "But what will actually call a check-raise, like maybe JT? But it would have to be JT with the backdoor flush, so its like, Mike put him on not just that type of hand but his exact combo". Which is probably so close to the truth, that its kind of painfull to watch Scott still not realise the most obvious reason, why Mike might be capable of such "soul reads" :) [/QUOTE]
