let's talk about something that you won't see on a Andrew Neeme vlog or in any
poker book really I call it the anti sweat for instance if you're in the
tournament and there's one good player and a bunch of recreational whenever the
good players in a pot instinctly you want to anti sweat them you're gonna
root against them deep down so you can be surrounded by more recreational
players that's going to be more profitable for you
in a cash game it's the same thing you want to root against top pros and route
for the recreational players so they'll have a better time and they're more
likely to give you their money in the future
predatory but keep in mind the anti root is a fun thing to do in moderation if
you get too emotionally invested in the anti root it can really hurt your game
if you're constantly rooting against the other Pro at your table and he just
keeps crushing it will bring you down if all the top pros are losing and the
recreational ZAR winning that can really boost your spirits and make the game
better for everybody the anti brute is most prevalent at final tables you'll
notice that if a short stacks all-in they might not say it out loud but deep
down everybody is rooting for them to lose they want them to lose because
there's a big pay jump guaranteed money on the line and you're one person closer
to winning the whole tournament of course they all shake their hand and say
good game when they do lose but deep down they were rooting against you don't
get it twisted it's okay to anti root but just like anything in moderation
anti root with me in the main event day four I hope all the recreational is run
good and all the top pros run bad let me get that easy money it's my time to
shine Dave for $10,000 World Series of Poker
Main Event we're in the money five hundred and eight thousand chips 8k
big blind let's do some damage the World Series of Poker Main Event $10,000
buy-in day four we have just over 500,000 chips over 60 blinds Gus Hansen
at the table bunch of other veteran players tough table draw but we're gonna
make the best of it it's our tournament to win its
time we worked harder than these guys there is no deserve in poker but we
deserve this shit let's get it the main events a very special tournament you get
people from all walks of life to pony up $10,000 to play a little poker the Brio
does accommodate over 8,000 entrants in this event over three days to do a good
job of that of course there's gonna be problems along the way but I think
everybody should play the main event at least once in their life if they're
somewhat proficient in No Limit Hold'em overall I've had pretty low hopes coming
into this World Series main event old 414 down one hundred and forty thousand
dollars lifetime it really hurts when you're it's the one tournament you look
forward to the most every year
Johnny Marino busts on the very first hand and one hand later we're joined by
Cliff Joseph he also known as Johnny backs online legend poker x-factor
backer extraordinary he's on our immediate left and of course to his left
is the Great Dane Gus Hansen it's gonna be a great summer hopefully it's a great
summer for us over the next hour or so very cordial table chatter good time had
for all we tell stories and my friends at had encounters with Johnny and of
course Gus and we're really hitting it off but blinds at four thousand eight
thousand Scott Blum Steen Schultz all in for 84,000 the middle position I'm on
the button with ace Queen of Spades putting the flag call Johnny backs and
Gus fold the blinds are up against East nine the board comes King eight 8 deuce
deuce for the chop pot everybody loves a shot pot except me with blinds at four
thousand eight thousand Asian male from the middle position age twenty to fifty
makes it 17 thousand ago I'm in the big blind with Jack eight offsuit we defend
the flop comes ace nine deuce rainbow I checked to him and he bets thirteen
thousand he's gonna be doing this with all of his range repping the dace one
thing I learned recently from talking to a few Asian guys at the table is they're
scared to death of the number four for in Chinese sounds like death so they
want to avoid it at all costs I've been trying to implement this in my game
betting an amount that ends in a four or has multiple fours in it to get more
folds this may sound crazy but I think it's gonna work if I want a call I'm
gonna bet something like twenty eight thousand or eighty eight thousand facing
a bed of thirteen thousand the only sizing I can choose is forty four
thousand he thinks about it in puts in the call we're pretty much giving up
unless we turn a straight draw the turn is a seven we turn our gutter we're
wrapping strong and I bet eighty four thousand a mix of both worlds this time
let's see if it works he asked how much n I announced a
Oh thousand goes deep into the tank and folds I showed Johnny backs my Jackie we
get a nice Bluff through after the hand I tell Gus and Johnny about my theory
with four or four and the eight eight and they they they laugh and they think
it makes a lot of sense and we now have five hundred thousand chips
a few orbits later I raised it up to eighteen thousand at for eight thousand
with Jack nine of hearts in middle position Gus Hansen puts in the call and
we're heads up to a flop the flop comes seven seven five two hearts a good flop
for me I bet 20,000 and in Gus in under one second it says I can't resist and he
makes at forty four thousand just splashes it in there I'm kind of feeling
this for weakness I think you would have thought a little bit longer usually does
like the chip dance and everything so definitely a standard call here but I
think we can take the initiative and make it 94,000 just a 50k on top a huge
sign of strength pretty rare to three bet a flop at 775 unless we have
specifically an overpair or the random seven he eventually puts in the call he
has us covered with about 500k behind the turn is a six
we could have eight nine we could have a boat pocket fives pocket sixes it's time
to continue the story I don't want to check call and I sized up to 130,000
with Jack hi Gus goes deep into the tank and he folds who take down a nice pot he
asked to see one and we show them the Jack of Hearts could be pocket jacks
it could be a Jack of Hearts we'll keep him guessing feeling good office 600,000
chips in the World Series of Poker $10,000 main event
thank you ESPN camera crews there I
might be on ESPN who knows

coming I don't know if you know who I am yeah
what's your spot Jeff posting on YouTube okay
I'm good at what I do and I have I love doing
it's hard work yeah it's still hard work
videos it takes like 15 hours to do yeah like five hours of filming in like an
hour to editing it's incredibly pretty card dead I did pick up Queen Jack
suited an off suit a couple times in middle of late position I raise it up I
got three bet once I got flatted by Ace King and ace high flop came once so we
lost both of those pots and were chipping down to just under four hundred
and fifty thousand at this point with blinds at a 5k 10k action folds to the
button a French kid that looks like stealth monk makes it 22 thousand ago
I'm in the big blind with King ten King of Hearts ten of spades
I could three bet but I think it's fine to defend putting the call and the flop
comes ace eight seven three hearts good flop for us we got the nut flush draw
check to him he bets 20k and calls fine but let's take the aggressive route we
can repin utt flush we can we can wrap some two pair of combos we got the nut
flush blocker he cannot have it so let's put on max pressure I make it fifty five
thousand and he puts in the call the turn is a five of diamonds time to
continue the story I don't want to check call hopefully we can get a fold here I
sized up to 110,000 putting the pressure on putting all of his a sax combos in a
bad spot he eventually puts in the call let's hit a hard on the river the river
is a deuce of clubs I have about 260,000 behind we got to continue with our story
could check and give up but this time I feel like going for it
I don't wager all my chips I wager just to clean 200,000 chips big Bluff in the
main event in order to live you have to be willing
to die he thinks about it for about 2 seconds and throws in one chip which
tilts me because it's a call and the stupid one chip call we show our king hi
and he shows us ace of diamonds 5 of Hearts turn to pair pretty bad run out
maybe he would have folded if he didn't have two pair in reality he's not
beating any of my value hands just naked King of Hearts probably a bad call for
him long term but Congrats we now have 59 thousand ships 6 blinds in the World
Series of Poker Main Event
I had
we get one shot through the blinds go through us we go on break blinds are now
six thousand twelve thousand I have forty nine thousand action folds us in
middle position I have nine ten of diamonds a premium I make it three x two
thirty six thousand there's about six hundred and eighty people remaining 666
is the two thousand dollar pay jumped from 20,000 to 22,000 action folds to
the same asian male in the big blind who puts in the call the flop comes jack
eight five good flop for us he checks and we check behind we might have some
fold equity on the turn the turn is a five I believe he checks
I bet twelve thousand and he puts in the call the river is a nine
we made a pair very good but he says all in we have one one thousand shit behind
a part of me wants to stall and hope for the pay jump because I can just wait
they don't update the clock so I don't really know how close it is to the six
six six mark sign of the devil I think for 30 seconds and throwing the call he
shows six seven I was ahead the whole time and he hits a miracle river
