    I'm assuming he just lost some chips seeing as his odds on betfair just expanded. I wanna take a bet on him but where can I find live updates?

    Max opened AT, got 3-bet w/ QQ and folded.

    Dude that 3-bet was 3rd 3-bet in a row, but he had it all 3 times.

    EDIT: Oh yeah.. first time was Q8s... kind of mad.

    That bet OTR w/ KQ was odd.

    IDK what calls him, though.

    OH, I found a link through charter cable. You need to sign in with charter account to view, though.

    I'm loving it so far. Unfortunately, I have to go to bed in ~1 hour. I'm gonna miss most of the show.

    Max's posture says he's zoned in.

    I'm not sure what to make of betfair odds movements. I mean 2nd chip stack, as far as I can tell, is running at over 10/1. I'd load some more funds up and take that bet except I'm suspicious that I'm getting fucked by time delayed updates.

    Had to come out of FTR retirement to say good luck Max. Dude was a huge influence on my game even though he'd never know it. Go get em man.

    Love that max totally read that shit in advance and wore a stunning red, white and blue combo.

    Looking sharp, Max.

    Oh.. and Bluemanfield... is a maniac. 4-betting AXo, like that.

    I hate it when people like Stern take forever on every freakin decision. What the hell could he be processing for that long?

    Max's position with the stack leader hurts him in the 88 r/f hand. Can't be making marginal 4b shoves for your tourney life against someone that you have no ICM pressure against, and can't be flatting 88 OOP 37bbs deep.
  18. #93
    Beckley's river call in the KJo vs KK hand on A93tt (chk, chk), 2 double-suited (chk), A hand against McKeehan seemed like a waste of chips. Can't imagine McKeehan's PFR from MP, check to river range on A93tt includes a whole lot of air, and there are a TON of middling pairs he's vbetting there. I figured Beckley was deciding between fold and raise.
  19. #94
    Agree, McKeehen can hand read and is even a competent cash player. I am guessing K-high is good there less than 2% of the time.

    Okay I have proxied into France and paid ESPN the princely sum of 1.99€ - however the "live" button doesn't work - can someone tell me what Hand # we're up to? Is 36 up to date?

    36 is what I've got on twitch, 42 on the text feed.

    Yeah sweet, I'mma go for it. They'll be worried about me texting Max hi mum or morse coughing the hole cards from New Zealand I guess.

    I'm glad I got to watch that 30-minute long hand to see the most standard spot ever unfold and then watch the dealer chop the chips.

    Now for a commercial break!

    wat, every hand is 30 mins.

    on the positive side, I should have an edge in the shot-clock era of poker, so bravo, guys.

    I wonder if there exists a spot where Blumenfield folds an A blocker preflop.

    Facing an open from the shortest stack who'd been playing snug, and he's in the SB w A3o and resteals for an amount where he's either calling a shove or folding for 12bbs to win 40bbs+. Seems pretty undesirable, but I'm a tourney fish.

    nothing to stop people taking 10 years per decision as the blinds creep up?
  35. #110
    They're not supposed to show the cards when they fold! Now everyone knows Max doesn't defend with 52dd! The conspiracy is on!!!!

    EDIT: Apparently they've always been showing the BB mucks. Cowboys/Eagles only recently ended, so I'm new to watching the preflop action that doesn't involve Max.

    The Joe McKeehan slow motion jiggle as he sprays his chips everywhere needs to be my phone background.

    baudib, where you play at? Is McKeehan a Sugarhouse reg?
  43. #118
    McKeehen's home casino is Parx, I play at Borgata. I met him through a friend last year in Vegas very briefly.

    Who is this broadcaster?

    When McKeehan opens UTG w KTs and folds when he gets 3b by a 30bb stack in MP, "I can't believe he folded such a playable hand!!"

    When someone flats the button with KJs and gets squeezed by an aggressive SB player with 50bb effective stack, "He can't call here."

    One is a snap fold and the other is a pretty standard flat, and he got them backwards.

    McKeehen has a deadly combo of skill and rungood that's going to make him tough to beat

    McKeehen's rungood is pretty insane. Been lasting since at least final 13 when he knocked out stealthmonk with set-over-set 50bbs deep.

    Last night, McKeehen opens button into a shortstack who wakes up with AJo and shoves into him ... only problem is that McKeehan has AKs. McKeehan ends the night with a loose open UTG w J6s, gets shoved into by BB big stack with AJo and catches up to knock him out. Getting dealt KTs OTB and turning second nut flush. Etcetcetc.

    He has really opened it up the last few orbits now that his stack can provide serious ICM pressure on every single player at the table, esp 3!ing 84o OTB to get Max off K9o and seemingly playing every suited hand with a face card from all positions, so yeah, deadly combo of someone having a rungood and knowing how to use it.

    Interesting to see what adjustments players make now that they can go back and see how bad McKeehan was steamrolling toward the end of last night.

    Yeah it's ridic
  56. #131
    I mean, McKeehen's rungood is exactly consistent with the rungood of people who win the WSOP ME. He's a great player who came into the FT with a huge stack and played it well.

    There were also spots where people played poorly that he benefited from, for example, Negreanu should shove A4o pre all day and shut him out from his equity on a bingo flop with J3dd. The extreme short stacks being around has the better players at the table forced to tighten up and play for 2nd, so he's basically in a perfect spot.
