lol, interesting play from Ivey but i guess against dwan it was his only option, although playing around with pokerstove can someone find me a range for dwan that ivey is ahead of? i cant really find one. to find a range ivey is beating you need to include 65o and 32o i think.

Wtf?? Are you seriously claiming that it is a possible laydown?? Such a sick cooler. Ivey has 3rd nuts. Dwan's range include a tonne of pair and straight draws, 2 pairs, sets and complete air balls. What do you suggest? Flat? Watch the board pair or a 7 peel off and then check-fold? wpwpwpwp

Against any opponent I am getting this in and high fiving everyone around the table. Until he flips nuts, then i cry.

Sick hand. Robert Williamson doing the commentary?

I love the synchronised "Oh my gosh!" when the 4 hits.

I think A2 is ahead of his range, messing about with pokerstove he might even be 63% against durrrr's range, if you're including 2 pairs, sets, and alot of straight+flush draw combos. Obv a sick cooler, never folding this against anyone.

That "oh my gosh" was weaksauce. Funny ****.

I don't think Dwan would come over the top of Ivey there with nothing. I think his lowest range would be like .

I think Dwan can definitely come over the top with weaker hands here, are you saying that Dwan (one of the best, arguably the best NLHE player in the world) never balances his range in this spot? Especially considering how much he and Ivey play together

[Pates]

I don't know if it's worth balancing here. Maybe once every 20 times? I don't see how Ivey would 3-bet then barrel twice with nothing on such a drawy board that smothers Dwan's range.

It totally depends on how loose or tight Ivey's been playing I guess. TV makes it look like everyone is playing LAGtardy. My guess is that 3betting light like this does not happen often or else people will go broke in 30 minutes seeing as pots would hit ~30k every hand.

[891327]

Considering the stakes are $1000/$2000 ante$500 then a 3bet pot where 2 players see the flop is gonna be getting on for 50k. I think Dwans range for calling the 3bet and floating the flop is easily wide enough for Ivey to fire the turn without a monster, a play which he has to make enough so that he'll get paid off sometimes when he's got a hand.

There is every point in dwan blancing his range in that spot cos otherwise he's never getting paid when he hits and bluffing once every 20 hands isn't really balancing you're range as if its such a small percentage of the time you're bluffing it still usually gives the other player an easy decision. One of the reason the best players are so tough is cos they balance their range so perfectly that you never have an easy decision, a perfectly balanced range in any spot should make the EV of every play the villain can make against your range as close to 0 as possible.
