Recently, Hustler Casino Live has frequently seen highly discussed hands, such as the cryptocurrency big guy we just discussed using set over set to Gaigo (5 hours, 10,000 to 190,000, 3 months in the industry, set over set, you can think of it, he did it). Last Friday's hand also caught everyone's attention.
The game level is $100/$200/$400, this time Gego is not there (he went to the music festival to dance bungee), filled in the position of Gaigo is a player named Handz, he is a new player who has just appeared on HCL, the playing style is very loose, but he also paid a heavy price for it.
New players lose the biggest pot
In this hand, Handz opened the pool with AK at the front to raise to $1,000, and Ben Lee used AA3-bet to 5,600. Keating, who was little blind, played very loosely on this day, and he would enter the pool with any starting hand, so he injected 52 with a heel.
It was Handz's turn again, with his 4-bet to $25,000 and Ben with Pocket A to raise to $90,000, keating folded. Handz started the hand with a chip count of $850,000 and he decided to take it all down, and the total number of chips was only over $300,000 in Ben seconds! And so was the $634,000 pot, the biggest pot of HCL's live show since it went live last summer!
The two agreed to deal two cards, the first with A8K710 and the second with 44337, with Ben holding AA taking all the pots.
Different opinions
On the face of it, the hand was at best a failure caused by the AK's over-the-top hit, but the audience had some different views.
It is clear that both players want to present their opponents with powerful card strength. Handz has been very aggressive, and before the start of this hand, the profit on HCL was enough to buy a Lamborghini; the other side of Ben's profit on this day was also considerable, but he played extremely tight for about an hour and a half before the start of this hand, and even abandoned AK when facing the opponent's 3-bet.
As the audience knows, Ben only plays very strong cards this day. After winning this huge pot, Ben revealed that he actually wanted to leave early, but he didn't want people to think that he had won the big pot and leave immediately.
So, when he raises to $90,000, his range is actually very, very narrow, and he can't be bluffing or holding a weaker card than QQ.
From Handz's point of view, he should think that opponents will only follow him when they get AA. It is indeed okay to think so, because for Ben, if he wants to leave the market with a lot of profits, then he will definitely abandon QQ and abandon KK with a high probability. But what Handz didn't expect was that Ben had tightened his range a lot at this time, after all, he couldn't always see the hole cards when Ben didn't have a show card like the audience.
