Cannon, left with 200k would bust the next hand (video in comments)
Busted the main event KK<AA for a 270k pot. Busting the main always hurts but at least it's been a good summer otherwise, and I know I'm never playing the hand any differently. Gl to those still in

This was one of my favorites to record so far. Max and I discuss several hands where we double and triple barrel bluffed, and what factors you should consider when deciding to execute a bluff.

I'm not usually superstitious, but I bagged day 2ABC and went to check on a few friends playing late on day 2D. I walked past
@jeffplatt
and we briefly said hi to each other. I busted within 2 orbits of the first level of day 3. I wasn't even short stacked. Seems real to me.

I wouldn't call it a "parlay", I'm pretty sure those events were on his schedule regardless. His success is not a surprise to anyone who knows him. He's been a crusher (mostly online) for years now.
@JoeDiego24
@vladrev123
@Barry_Carter
@IMatakis
That's completely fair. He does have 3 top 9 finishes in live events though, which in many events would be considered the final table. I understand what you're saying though

A lot of strong players will play a "pseudo GTO" style and go into autopilot while playing lots of tables. Examples of common mistakes made by good players in my tourneys: c-betting the flop too much, only using a small flop sizing, and not finding low-equity bluffs on the turn.
@ImaLouigi
I think it was the Qh on flop then Jx on the turn. I remember thinking about your river decision afterwards and this was one of the factors, because I would want to bluff you off of Jxhh and combo draws that beat my weakest hands
@papa_pagogo
@bencb789
I don't know how online tourneys were a few years ago, but I do agree with the points that there are far more ways to exploit opponents than you'd think. There are certain types of mistakes that players at different stakes make at a high enough frequency to take advantage of.
