    Wow. Look how he gets off so cheap on trips, by checking the flop, firing small on turn (hoping to fold to a raise, presumably), and then folding to a bet on the river.
    He bet the flop (2x pot) - pot size bet on the turn and then folded when the guy donk bet the river for more than pot.

Can't tell you how many times I saw this playing at that level back in AC. A lot of rec players at the level just can't control themselves in hands that like with that tell. After I learned this the hard way, I saved myself a lot of money with seemingly appealing second-best hands like Postle's in such situations. Meaning, i would have most likely played the hand the same way as Postle right down to folding on the river absent superuser knowledge of my opponents hand, especially with so many preflop callers in the hand.


    Yeah, he got pretty lucky that guy decided to donk the river (which was dumb). Not that tough of a fold depending on the player.

    It would have been interesting to see what Postle would have done if A4 had checked the river. To feign not being a superuser, Postle would have had to bet something, but would he have been smart enough to do so? Or even bet a reasonable amount for a river value bet?

    He would have bet small and then folded to any sizable raise. He was actually pretty good at betting-to-fold in spots where he couldn't check/fold without looking ridiculous.

    Anyone, there's no way to lay down 42o there. Your opponent is much more likely to have a Q than a 4 for two reasons (a Q is more likely to be played pre, and there's only one unseen 4 left in the deck). The way everything played out, it was much more likely that Postle's opponent had a Q or a non-full-house pocket pair than a 4 or a boat. You simply can't fold to that overbet, unless it's really huge (which it wasn't.)

    If you're folding to that bet with trip 4s, you're going to get bluffed a shitload of times.

    And if you have a tell, you had better be certain it's a great tell.

    BTW, I actually had a similar spot in the WSOP Main versus a good player (Jerod Smith, who also ended up cashing $59k like I did.)

    It was on Day 2, and everyone was really really focusing upon getting to the bathroom quickly, given the massive crowds and wait times. A hand was dealt right before the break started, and I could see everyone couldn't wait to pop up. I had Q8 suited in middle position, and open-raised it, hoping to steal (also the hand wasn't bad, obviously).

    Smith flatted me from the button. I asked, "Can't you just let me steal the blinds when everyone wants to go to the bathroom?", and he responded, "I've got to try and flop something."

    Flop came QQx with two diamonds. I bet flop, he called. I wasn't happy about that. I hated my kicker, and didn't want to shoot off a ton of chips on this in the very slow moving Main, so I actually check/called both the turn and river (both blanks) -- with the river call being a tank because he bet fairly big. Turned out he had 96 suited and missed his flush draw, so we were both telling the truth. I was trying to steal during the bathroom break, and he was trying to flop something, knowing I probably was trying to steal!

    Anyway, when it was all said and done, I couldn't lay down the trips/bad-kicker, even at the very slow moving Main Event. In a cash game, it's very hard to get people off trips, unless you really rip in a monster bet.

    On a side note, Smith has been actively following and analyzing this entire matter.

    There are definitely bluffs in his range, just not very many. 42 is just a bluff catcher at that point and you're facing a bigger than pot size bet. It's a pretty easy fold against most players.

    Matusow was good on NWP radio many years ago (if the pussy tastes good, I'll eat it) but that 2 part podcast was terrible.

    Might listen again onc Postle is found hella guilty to see if Matusow backtracks.
    When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.

    Betting with a Q isn't a bluff. It's a value bet. Even a decent pocket pair is a value bet, as it will often be called by lower pocket pairs.

    42 is not at all a bluff catcher at that point. It's not like the board is 4-flushed or 4-straighted.

    If you fold trip 4s to a mild overbet in that spot, you probably aren't a winning player.

    When Matusow was on with Joey shortly after the podcast's release, he was already implying that he didn't believe Postle, and that he would "reveal his true feelings in 3 weeks".

    As time has passed, I have become more of the belief that Matusow probably did the right thing by just letting Postle ramble like an idiot, rather than piss him off and drive him off.

    ABC 10 in Sacramento covered this, also as a result of my friend contacting them.

    They didn't do a very good job, though:

    At higher stakes games, your analysis here makes sense. But at the low stakes in this game, not so much. Especially when your opponent makes the exaggerated check on the flop. When combined with the donk bet on the river, it’s a classic trap tell by lower stake rec player that would not see in almost any higher stake game.

    Hence, you can't lay down trips on a board like this for a bet that's only a little more than pot.

    if veronica bad mouths the ownership of stones and employees, i wonder if they decide to ban her from playing? although she probably would rather play elsewhere anyway if she cannot trust the integrity of the games there now. i feel like she did the right thing, i wonder if stones will retaliate
