We continue where we ended last time.

5:00 Brandom Adams overplays an overpair (again).
21:00 “Wut about me?”
23:00 Ivey plays a wrap very agressivily.
32:00 Great valuebet by Hastings.

This episode is all about Phil Ivey. Let’s some it up:

13:00 Ivey shows us how to play a hand with blockers.
15:00 Ivey shows us how to play a wrap, hit a miracle river and we see Dwan make a great fold.
18:00 Ivey shows us how NOT to play air.
24:00 Ivey shows us not even him can call with A-high in PLO.
37:00 Ivey shows us how to win a huge 3-way pot.

Awesome poker!

Few weeks ago Poker After Dark featured a PLO cashgame for two weeks. In the next couple of posts I’ll be discussing these episodes with you. Big thank you to youtube user wsop2010fvp for uploading these.

If you don’t want any spoilers, just watch the movie and don’t scroll down any further.

PAD PLO Cashgame ep. 1

The line-up is pretty sick: Brandom Adams, Patrick Antonius, Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Brain Hastings and Phil Galfond. Andy Bloch is the guest commentator for these special episodes, and although I was pretty sceptical about this at first he really does a great job.

Here are some of the key hands of the first episode:
03:00 A classic example of why history between players plays such a huge role in any form of poker: Dwan calls a big bet on the river with a marginal holding.
04:00 Antonius wants a round of double stradles, sicko.
07:00 Brandon Adams makes a nice laydown.
12:00 Phil Galfond teaches us the art of the valuebet-bluff.
17:00 We already have our first all-in.
24:00 Ivey says he “really wants to gamble” and induces a pretty loose call by Antonius.
30:00 As we all know, aces can get you in some though spots in PLO.
34:00 Some great pot-control by Ivey with the second nuts.
40:00 Dwan makes a great valuebet, with quite a weak holding.

All in all very amusing first episode. But, don’t you think Brandon Adams looks really uncomfortable between these guys?
