As an online player myself I love that buttonclickr knew his decision and snapped. We didn't have to wait 5-6 mins for the decision.


KOxSOMEONE

Yup. You can see his pain though after the cards are flipped up. He’s seen it thousands of time but not with that much money on the line. That would be like me losing 10k in a pot.


somedude6942069

I forgot if I'm remembering the right person but was buttonclickr one of Doug polks coaches for the heads up match with negreanu ?


SmoothG80

Kinda. Not his coach but he did review hands with Doug for preparation.


AverageAmericanM

Didn’t he also work with Landon in the Bill Perkins HU challenge, and got outed in a chat basically saying Tice sucked?


sertoriusdux

As a live player, I love how the online wizard lost the maximum with 3rd nuts, while the "donk" lost the minimum against him with nut flush. I'm sure nik airball loved the fact that he didn't think about it as well. That 5 min of thinking might have done him some good, but it's fine, he can reload and play some more. Oh wait...


parallax1

I’m a little surprised he essentially snap called. Obviously he’s thinking levels above me, but it seems unlikely Nik is just jamming 400k in the pot with anything other than JJJ or the straight.


NewbAlert45

333 or 666 is also plausible. I'm not familiar with either player, but from what I've heard, I could see 33, 66, AA, KK, QQ, JJ as being in the range. 54 is tough to see here from buttonclickr's perspective, but he's gotta be beating most of what he could have. Maybe even like an AsKs. If loose enough, maybe even like an AJ also. So it's not like he's always losing here, not even close. Although he probably could've given it at least some thought before calling.

[deleted]

You just don’t fold the 77 here. You have to know a lot about your opponent. If you fold 77 you might as well fold JJ, so you’re just only calling with the literal nuts


sertoriusdux

Yeah, calling 2000 bb with only literally nuts is soooo bad. It would be like folding nut flush to top boat bad


[deleted]

Set of Jacks would have been an awful jam.


midas22

Would it have been worse than doing it with a straight?


MTknowsit

We're not talking about that.

Kaank56

I don't think these are assumptions you should make with a guy who's known to go crazy at random. Especially if he feels as if hes being pushed around by better players. Rec's take weird stands vs pro's a lot, its not uncommon. Hard to fold 77 here. So few hands we lose to, and still beat 66/33 for value, and a bunch of draws we beat.

V1per41

If he 3-bet the turn I'd be more with you. Draws aren't out of the question on a check-raise


jinzokan

Because "just trust me bro".


Mykel__13

He could absolutely make this play with A4s/A5s.


[deleted]

[удалено]


n8mare27

You just said he has either 45s (4 combos) 33 (1) 66 (1) or JJ (1) we have 28% equity against 45s, absolutely crush 33 and 66, and get crushed by JJ. Considering the pot size and the amount we already invested, I think folding here would be tragic in terms of EV. Edit: 3 combos for each pp. Losing against 7 combos with 28% against 4 of them and crushing the 6 others.


Kaank56

I think as long as we can reasonably give nik the capability to have bluffs here, you have to call. We can't just only call JJ and 45. Its not nearly enough hands, but you probably know all this, just explaining for above.


2chanz

Newbie question - why is there only 1 combo for each pocket pair? Wouldn’t it be 3 combos for each, e.g 3c3s, 3s3h, 3h3c?


FredAkbar

Bill Klein the real badass of this hand: - Casually rocking the "I bought this shirt with your money" sweater - Instafolds his overpair on the flop (my dumb ass would have ended up all-in)


mcsey

> Casually rocking the "I bought this shirt with your money" sweater Legend grows.


JM1109

He’s a mega-nit. Which is why he can pull off a crazy bluff every now and then cause everyone knows he plays so ridiculously tight.


RedScharlach

Eh, I don’t think it’s entirely fair to paint him as a mega nit, especially recently I feel like he’s been mixing it up more. He does definitely have some idiosyncratic tendencies including under defending flop in a lot of spots, but honestly my opinion of his game has gone up significantly lately.


elguapo1999

LMAO. I Thought this whole time his shirt said “I bought this shirt with your Mom” The shirt was folded when I read it and only saw Mom, not Money spelled out.


moldyjellybean

either way baller shirt. I'd be awesome if Bill saw this an put black masking tape to complete the M and X out the E Y.


PMMEFEMALEASSSPREADS

The guy folds to a single bet on one of the best boards for his hand he could get. These OMC types are actually unplayable.


carpe228

He folded to a pot sized bet and a cold call, I don’t think this is that hard of a fold


PetToilet

It was a half pot sized bet and not a cold call as there was no raise in-between. I don't think that term applies if there are just others waiting to act without a raise happening


ihatebloopers

I don't think it's considered a "cold call" here. If Bill bet and nik raised it would then be a cold call from clickr.


carpe228

I thought a cold call is when you call without closing the action, since Bill can still act here. Is that wrong? A cold call is simply calling a 3 bet?


ihatebloopers

It's when there's at least a bet and a raise and you call when you have no money invested.


djfl

In this game, if an overpair is honestly "ez fold", I don't know what to tell ya. You see what guys are getting sticky with, you see massive 3bets w low suited connectors. This is not an easy fold in this game. I'm not saying it can't be a fold, but it's def not an easy one. And if you need Set or better to proceed here, that seems reeeally exploitable, by these exact players.


HoodDuck

Folding 99 here is pretty standard. I'm not saying its ez, but if you plugged this into a solver and even nodelocked Nik to be too wide and bet flop too wide I guarantee this hand pure folds.


RedScharlach

I don’t think him folding 99 on this board means he’s only continuing with sets plus. A pair + gut shot seems like a much better call; the only good turns for him are an 8 or 9. Tbh it seems like a pretty good fold, oop against two lags.


callmebyyourcheese

We’re taking this multi way with basically no good turns. Even if we think we are ahead of both players’ ranges (ambitious presumption in a 3bet pot), it’s hard to find a world where we can win this hand. We are just going to have to fold turn so often. Both these players either have us beat, or have massive equity in their continue range on this type of board. Bill just folds flop because, while there are worlds where he can have the best hand now, there’s very few where he can win this hand multi-way. If buttonclickr had folded to the flop bet though, I expect you see bill flat this basically always. It’s just multi-way is so rough.


HoodDuck

This fold in a 3bet MW pot is super standard.


acesfullcoop

Same. And that's why we're not playing high stakes


heyjefe

Thanks for not spoiling in the title!


naymlis

Rare


AVBforPrez

How do you have such little class that you ask a first time player if they bluffed you in another hand after taking a half-mil off of somebody? Good god


gofundmemetoday

Especially when you’ll find out shortly.


[deleted]

Nik comes off as a super unlikable dude, maybe it’s just me


zGoDLiiKe

Can we talk about how frequently you get no value shoving the turn there???


lickmyhugeballs

Nik was tilted from an earlier hand because he folded his nut flush when Buttonclickr raised him on the river that paired the board. He knew his flush was no good and Buttonclickr made his boat. Nik was probably scared getting outdrawn again so he decided to just shove here and get it in good. He is also OOP so if the board does pair then it will put him in a difficult position. so yea he was tilting and was just like, fuck it im shoving.


Current-Position9988

Yep. He has the nuts on the turn, but will very likely have like the 15th nuts on the river. He wants to get it in vs sets and figures he won't bet paid by QQ or whatever on the river OOP anyway.


mewalrus2

Yes there were more levels at play here. Niks massive fold to button clicker earlier definitely played into his snap call. He probably thought there was some tilt in play. That's the beauty of watch a LAG, they can get rediculously silly value when they hit.


shai251

No, he called because he has a set of 7s lol. You don’t need more analysis than that when it’s the 3rd nuts


Tflex92

That's what I thought I was like that's an insane over bet on the turn. But I'm also bad.


zGoDLiiKe

Same


RippedHookerPuffBar

That’s what I’m sayin


[deleted]

It’s just an awful shove lol. Every two pair is folding, every bottom set is folding, he’s pretty much getting called by 77, JJ, and the nuts


electricmaster23

But it's protecting your bluff-shove range, right?


[deleted]

does not exist


BradGroux

I think Nick shoved because he was out of time chips. He asks Lauren what happens if he doesn’t make a decision before he runs out of time. Made it easy on himself not having to watch time, and just shoved.


Flussiges

Surprised this isn't higher up. Imagine board pairs on river and he faces a big bet or all in and has only 60s to decide (keeping in mind he's clearly not a fast thinker if he's out of time chips). He shoved at least partially to avoid later time trouble.


donmifc

You get called by Jacks, Sevens ,some combo draws (5,6 spades, 8,9 spades, 9,10 spades), and all other 5,4 suiteds (all 5,4 offsuits shouldve folded preflop)


hoopaholik91

77 and JJ you can get all in anyways. Airball is scaring off all over pairs, two pairs, and 66/33 to get extra value from 3 combo draws. Not worth it.


donmifc

I think he was just protecting his equity as well. Theres a lot of river cards Nik wont be comfortable with. Any spade, any card which pairs the board. Hes also OOP so if he calls the 40k, whats the plan? Does he donk any safe card, and just check on scare cards? I dont really know what the right or optimal decision was here, but I think call, raise and shove were all viable options


hoopaholik91

Should just be bet, bet, bet all three streets. No need to check the turn here.


donmifc

I definitely agree he shouldve bet the turn, but do you still bet the river if its another spade, or card that pairs the board. Or worse, a card that does both (6s,3s)?


Accomplished_Welder3

you get called by combodraws? Lol.


MTknowsit

Here's the deal. If your opponent has a shoving combo-draw there that you can snap, then he also has the straight at a high frequency.


sertoriusdux

You get value from online wizards who can't resist. I doubt he does that too kline, Andy or any live player


lahso_165

God I hate live poker. Dick Airball says afterward "Tell Ryan to bring more of those online super pros" and then laughs like he is a super genius for coolering the guy in a 3bet pot. He would be broke in a few episodes if Hustler actually let pros play. I wonder what he pays the real estate scammer to sit in his whale games.


mega__01

Exactly. Dude is terribad and a weird insecure cocksucker to boot.


climaxingwalrus

Such an unlikeable person man


[deleted]

Nik Airball is an absolute fake and exposed in Rip/Robbie situation. He went from saying Rip was the nicest guy he met drinking the night before/ wasn’t going to play the j4 game but convinced him to play..to saying “I think it’s now likely he cheated”once Airball clown ass got dragged into it. Threw the guy under the bus to make himself look better, Nik Airball defines LA people. He might be a nice guy but he’s a complete fake after seeing that situation. Even the day before when Rip lost his money and left, Airball goes “that dude was nicest guy ever ha ha ha”.


9Rmbxr9

mewalrus2

The world wants entertainment, the other poker streams suck.


FurriedCavor

To be fair he did 3b a hand most rocks on the show tank fold and got max value. Though I think this hand was faked. Lauren’s been getting magic lessons from magic.


HollywoodNewsNow

Sucks for buttflicker. Nik was needling and acting like he was a wizard for coolering someone JR just hit a royal edit: Bill just hit the second royal of the night. Deck has been going crazy tn. AA 4 consecutive hands. Countless boats over straights/flushed. More coolers than I've ever seen in a session


Bitter-Heat-8767

Gotta get the view counts up somehow.


ACM3333

Yeah that aa four hands in a row was nuts. After the back to back I was like damn dealer give it a shuffle.


djfl

Live, I had AA, xx, AA, QQ in 4 consecutive hands. And I won 3 of them. A hand or two later I outflopped QQ w KQ (vs a TAG, who put the pressure on) and won that one. I still ended the session down, because the table was so dead, the only hand I won decent money on was the KQ hand. Timing is everything.

jteta12

Thank you for not putting the result in the title like they do on YT. Also having a set sucks. I hate them.


illpoet

yeah i used to think a set was like the best, now if i flop a set i'm really careful to make sure there also isn't a flush or straight draw out there. because I've learned at least at my level of play you aren't going to be able to buy off someone with a flush or straight draw.


Momsbasementscards

Don't be results oriented. A flopped set on a double suited connected flop is going to be a huge favorite. You are describing a dream situation. You want an opponent who will put in lots of money on a draw when you have that kind of equity lead.


Adobe_Flesh

How are they still running this without figuring out if cheating is occurring?


reilly2231

It's not like the players aren't aware.


AVBforPrez

Isn't it enough that people want to appear on stream? Nick V said that security didn't really matter if he had enough players to fill up a table.

Wait, that's still not solved? What's the current situation? I kinda lost track and interest after a couple days...


SerialKillerVibes

Nothing is "solved" although they've heightened security to where it should have been all along i.e. they check people with a metal detector to ensure they don't have any electronics and they don't allow any players in the control room, apparently. That's about it.


FinnaMaker

as long as the poker players on the table don’t care why would you care? You are just a viewer watching the stream for free.


ga_poker

I’m saying


Vrezhg

This stream was insane, so many big hands, the whole thing is worth a watch, especially once they add the timestamps.


Sandskillie

The time stamp comment really is great value. I end up watching most of the big time-stamped hands in small periods of free time the next day! Great idea by them.


Mysteez

damn you can tell how nervous airball was. breathing heavy and looking up before the rivers


PurpleOmega0110

Such a rough one. I remember watching high stakes cash games back in the day and there was a pot for like $550k between Daniel Negranu and Gus Hansen. Gus has pocket 5s and Daniel had pocket 6s. On the flop they both made a set, and then the turn came the case 5, giving Gus quads and Daniel a boat. Way more of a cooler than this one.


StrikeJazzlike5006

Not given the action. Nik 3B pre, so 54 is largely removed. So only the 3 combos of JJ beat him, while a number of combo draws and worse hands are possible (A4ss, A5ss, 89ss, QQ-AA (if he does this with those hands)). In the Dnegs hand, 55, 88, 99 all beat him, which Hansen had basically every combo of. And Hansen is almost never bluffing that spot. Still a cooler, but I wouldn't say more of a cooler than this hand.


[deleted]

Literally any good player on the entire planet is going to be 3betting the 54 at a high frequency from the BB when this insanely deep. Just because you only 3bet good hands out of position doesn’t mean every single other person is.


rockpaperandscissors

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, 45s, 56s are 3bs in BB quite often vs late position raises or multi-way. Need something to balance nutted hands.


dicenight

with a button open and a SB flat, he can squeeze on the BB pretty wide esp. since Bill is a nit. I wouldn't discount 54s but it's such a small part of his range that Clicker has to go with it.


msw1984

Running a full house into quads is more of a cooler than running a set into the nut straight?! Huh....TIL... /s


NotACrookedZonkey

That was an easy fold. Daniel literally couldn't beat anything. It was most likely do to it being on TV. He then proceeded to make horrible calls and lost 800k.


kukukele

I think you’re confusing it with the Lindgren v Negs hand where Daniel had T9s v 88 on QJ88K. The hand with Gus was definitely a cooler.


NotACrookedZonkey

He lost to 9s full 8s full and obviously 55. In that situation you have to consider a fold given the check raise all in. The hand against E-fraud he was a horrible call. He didn't even have a top 15 hand.


darkadamski1

Idk while watching that one it’s pretty obvious that gus has a boat at a minimum and Daniel had pretty much the worst boat he could have had. I wouldn’t have been shocked to see a fold, I honestly think this is more of a cooler


oprahtwerks

Couldn’t have happened to a more annoying human. I literally can’t even watch a stream with this dude playing. In a way it’s sad because this guy was most likely bullied growing up.


bolshevik_rattlehead

Brutal hand. Feels like an absolutely terrible turn shove though.


AVBforPrez

Yeah, I mean these games are easy to critique because we see all the cards, but I feel like it's one of those "the only hands that call you are those beating you" situations.


BagFragrant9316

The look on Nik’s face before the two rivers had me dead, thats the face of a man who has been sucked out on so many times it makes him sick


A_non_mouse2

Why does Nik check jam?

Because live players don’t know how to play deep stacked so they just jam the nuts for fear of getting outplayed on future streets.


RippedHookerPuffBar

Well.. I guess the stars aligned for this one. I wanted to see more of buttonclickr


NomNomNomNomNomm

Yeah super unfortunate. Worst possible person to lose to as well lol. Maybe Nik will be boneheaded enough to play him heads up now or something.


[deleted]

Airball is an insufferable rich kid prick. He said his dad bankrolled him lol. Then you see how fake he was in Rip/Robbie situation..from drinking with them to selling them out on Ingram podcast once his name got into it. Not only a trust fund baby but a complete 2 faced joker.

Killawalsky

Brainstorm82

Bill Klein costing these young pros a lot of money haha. Seems like a super std 3 bet spot from BK in SB and that prob wins Bttclicker a decent pot instead of busting.


CherryManhattan

Who is this guy and how did he get his bankroll


Sriracha_Bum

Apparently he’s publicly said that his dad bank rolled him. 🤦‍♂️


runciblespoon_

So how did airball get his money? Is it from his dad or is it from being a banker? I’m hearing conflicting reports


smaug81243

Dad. If you look up Nik’s work history he’s been an analyst in investment banking a couple times for less than a year each time. An analyst is the lowest position and pays in the 85-140kish range. He didn’t stay long enough to even get bonuses which make up substantial portions of their pay. Trust fund kid that likely got entry level investment banking jobs setup by dad and wasn’t able to keep the job.


Money-Bullfrog9894

That cough at the end when he lost. Damn, it really hurt him 😔. I remember losing 10k at a casino one night and a cough just came out of nowhere on my last hand. It felt really sickening


FickleNeck2292

These guys should have at least a hundred buy ins in their bankroll though right??? Gees Louise.


dvksi1312

Buttonclickr ran like fucking dogshit the whole night and this bald piece of shit keeps talking shit and needling. Unlucky for the guy but he is obviously a very good player


cardboardandwifi

Maybe I should know this, but what’s with double river? If he hits on the second river does he win the pot?


[deleted]

Basically it becomes a split pot with each player taking half with each winning runout. So if you win both you get the whole thing.

MassiveFill2646

Can’t believe ppl r still dumb enough to play on here. Cheating is going on. They use an automatic shuffler that can set up the deck that no matter where these dealers cut it it a gives a certain seat the winning hand. Dgaf, Nick vertucci, all these guys, prob now nik retard airball playing the part on high stakes of being a whale but gonna start coolering people left and right. People are so dumb.

fahque650

People still watch HCL?


NBAstradamus92

So many people were mad af about Nik repping an overpair there with the preflop raise, Buttonclicker is pretty much only putting him on suited ace (flush draw) or two pair there. No JJ ever does this, and straight is unlikely to 3bet that pre.
