Video Discussion – How Does Galfond Call Dwan?

26.01.2011, 17:42 0

This week we look at a hand from the recent $100k Poker After Dark SnG.

There's some interesting pre-flop action and a big call from Galfond on the flop.

What are your thoughts on this hand?

Watch the first hand that plays below and discuss with other PokerStrategists here.

Great call from Galfond. He must have put Dwan on a drawing hand. Now you know why Galfond is the only player in the world who is excluded from the durrrr challenge! ♠_biggrin:

These guys know each other's games back to front and have played probably tens of thousands of hand together. They are also on another level (two of the best 5 players in the world).

Impossible to judge the moves made by either of them without (a) all the history that has gone before (b) for me at least, being one hell of a lot better at poker!

Nice call. For me it would be quite difficult to put Dwan on an overpair, or even top pair here (also set is impossible with that line).

Seemed pretty standard for me.

Looks standard. He may push with spades and Galfond has a redraw if flush hits on the turn + 2 overcards. A lot more amusing is Huck Seed's AQ preflop fold.
