   @wlzy Yea, but if he had a weak jack or a weak king, he would not value bet such a scary river card. So we can take some of his hand out of his range, all Kx and Jx hands..the hands that beat us are only flushes and Q10. And the fact that he is super agressive, likes to bet air, he likes to use those scare cards to bluff, so after all that info, you can call this spots against a player like that.

   Interesting break down. Phil Galfond seems like a pretty cool guy.

   @DeusPayne If a bankroll is ever going to prevent you doing anything in a game you are playing at the wrong limits

    That’s a very very good call, when the Ad comes there are soo many hands that beat the sevens.
    I don’t think I would have called that river bet, even against the ultimate bluffer.

    good vid. But usually people calling themselves LAG are complete nits. And guys like “Ineverbluff” are the wildest players out there. Kind of a reversed psychology thing. Guess Lagasaurus reversed it twice

    @EGarrett01 most players would fold there and employ that strategy but as Phil pointed out if you are getting the right odds against that player’s large range of hands, which he regularly is 3 barrelling (especially on that obvious turn and river) then you need not pass away the value. If a player was able to analyse the hand as well as Phil did then the only thing preventing a call there would be a players bankroll.

    I would have folded the turn. That’s why Phil is the man.
