Season 3 of High Stakes Poker

[Reel Deal]

Interesting Ep. 11 hand…

Blinds @ $300/$600

D. Williams limps UTG with A3
Ivey raises to $3,000 in MP with QQ
J’Dags calls on the button with 74
Negreanu calls out of the BB with 64
Williams calls
(pot = $13,100)

Flop: 5T8

Negreanu & Williams check
Ivey bets $10,000
J’Dags folds
Negreanu calls
Williams calls
(pot = $43,100)

Turn: 6

Negreanu & Williams check
Ivey bets $28,000
Negreanu calls
Williams calls
(pot = $127,100)

River: 6

Negreanu & Williams check
Ivey asks Williams how much he has left (Williams: “about $40K”)
Ivey checks

Negreanu wins with trip 6s.

Any comments on how this hand played out?

[Boobie Lover]

I think Negraneau's river check was weak unless he planned on check/folding to an Ivey bet. Betting the river there seems sort of mandatory since it might get looked up by Ivey with JJ+ while Ivey betting that into two players might not happen, and it is sort of obvious that D. Williams missed a draw and i doubt he is going to bluff into two people.

That's what puzzled me too... why did DN check the river?

[Van_Broked]

DN is way too passive overall in this game imo. I think he need to be more aggressive instead of constantly floating flops with bottom pair etc. Raise it up for chirst sakes at least sometimes.

Anyone see yesterdays episode? I just saw part 1 on you tube. Brad Booth makes a sick bluff with 4 high lol. All he had was a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw. I wish the rest of this episode was up on youtube.
