Reichardt isn't out yet. He still has more than Busquet started with. It takes a certain mentality of nothing getting to you to win in poker. Of course you need to be good in a lot of things to be good a poker.
Preflop when all the money got in, it's not as bad as it looks, A2s is 32% vs. KKo's 68%. So Busquet wins 1/3 of the time. What makes is gross is how dead he was drawing on after the flop.
Yeah. This stuff gives a false sense of how many hands even get played in quality poker games. I'm shocked why nobody wants to watch my montage of folds to the big blind over and over!
They're playing Texas Hold 'Em. Each player is given their own two cards, then 5 cards are dealt to the center to be "shared" - first three "the flop", fourth card "the turn", fifth card "the river". Out of the total available 7, each player gets the best hand using 5 of the cards. When the flop was shown, the player with 2 Kings had a 99% chance of winning. The only way the guy with A2 could have won is if the other two cards came up as Aces, which they did. Hand would be AAA88 to KKK88.
aces beats kings. Reichhardt(glasses guy) had 2 kings. another king was shown for 3 kings. Busque who went all in has 1 Ace. 2 more Aces were shown. 3 kings vs 3 aces.
There was another vid way back where the guy is in similar situation, looking super happy, says something like "only a queen can beat me," and the queen was the last card. The shift in his face, man.
Having worked in a hotel (albeit one without a casino) I know at least one other reason is that housekeeping often refuses to clean out what has been left in those tubs, on the grounds of abuse of their basic human rights.
1 guy had 2 kings and another was shown for 3 kings total (hard to beat that) the guy who won went all in like "Fuck it" and had only 1 Ace. two more Aces were shown for a 3 Kings vs 3 Aces. Aces beat kings.
Had a wild night in vegas where I was up $200k and (quite intoxicated) determined to give it all away. I kept announcing my hands, telling newcomers to bet heavy when I had NOTHING...etc. there's video out there if you can find the Tater gives away all his chips. Although I made a few people very happy, I ended up PLUS $100k playing the absolute worst poker I could play. Never made the third round of a bracelet qualifier. The poker gods have a sense of humor when they see me coming.
I make it a point never to gamble. Only bar bets I'm convinced of, about trivia or whatever. Basically if I make a bet don't take it because I never bet on games. I only bet on stuff I know is gonna be true. And then, I'll not even take the money because we were just drinking and wagering on stupid stuff
Stock market is just as much gambling, I avoid it too because I've seen the market manipulation and when someone like musk had 17 investigations into stock fraud, he stole the election and fired all those organizations
I've played enough Warhammer and D&D that I know how my 'luck' is a hateful goblin creature that waits patiently to tie my balls in a knot and kick me in the teeth and I've placed enough bets on the Grand National horse race to know that my 'instinct' is much worse than 'pick the horse with the funny name so long as it isn't instinctual'.
Yeah. The screen also shows the two specific cards available to him. His outs aren't just the rank (ace) but the specific cards remaining available to him.
I only replay them with a 100% melee modifier, as in any melee hit is automatically 100%. get the fuck outta with a melee attack only having 57% chance to hit. my brother that alien is right in front of your face.
You know what, the story may have been silly but I really enjoyed the gameplay of XCOM: Chimera Squad. Same kind of idea as TBW, but a little more open-ended

Is that John Olivers voice?

When he does that it's an amazingly ballsy move, but I go all in on the same hand and the river refuses to bail me out.

Poker is just so awful. Even this was boring af

I saw a clip recently where both players had a pair of Aces. The guy who won had won with a flush by the end lol
Klaumbaz
He draws into a Dead Man's hand.

That kind of winning doesn't look fun. He looks sick to his stomach.

I’ve seen people chase an Ace so many times…
gronzilla
I can't tell when the point is finished/won and none of the responses give it away. I guess that's poker face then.

After playing for a few years in East Asia, I'd throw the money on an Ace Two every time.

No, just the ones who look/sound like John Oliver.

I don't know anything about poker so I really don't even understand what exactly happened there!

1 guy had 2 kings and another was shown for 3 kings total (hard to beat that) the guy who won went all in like "Fuck it" and had only 1 Ace. two more Aces were shown for a 3 Kings vs 3 Aces. Aces beat kings.

Happens to me all the time. I'm Reichardt in this scenario.

In basically every scenario of friendly poker I’ve ever played with friends 😂

Happened to me twice in one game.

Yeah, that's why I don't play poker, every time I get half decent hand, someone else got a horseshoe up their ass.

THIS IS WHY I DONT PLAY XCOM

After the Turn card, the commentator says Busquet has two outs. What was the other one - just the other potential Ace?
DrKipping
Yeah. The screen also shows the two specific cards available to him.
His outs aren't just the rank (ace) but the specific cards remaining available to him.

Ah, you're right, I missed that. Thanks.

Anyone who has ever played xcom 1 and 2 knows that 99% means jack shit, especially when you're counting on it.

I recall a guy losing even though he had quad aces and everyone commented they would stop playing poker altogether if that happened to them
