2026 World Series of Poker May 26th - July 15th

Trayner has run bad in a few of these spots to run into calls and lose them all.

Ballsy call from the Cypriot there. Not content to get blinded down. Good for him

Yeah I definitely would have shoved the Q8 but idk if I would have had the balls to call with K7 there. I think it's correct to but close, idk if I could have done it though.

I'm quite surprised by both the jam and the call, The K7 suited is in normal spots, Q8 is borderline but due to circumstances I was not expecting it.

Trayner torching 12BB on first hand to become the 7BB small stack.

I think its a clear jam. Something like 95s would have been close imo. I have not made it to the final 10 in the main event though. The call is closer imo

turn c/r on a board that smashes bb chip leader check and you shouldn't have any of that is just some balls but unreal man for where we're at

Apparently not.

IMO given the circumstances the jam is +ev. Albeit Jumalon being the short stack complicates it from an ICM perspective?

Yeah in a pure theory bubble, and also from the fact you would think BB will fold more than they should I would agree. I am not sure though how ICM affects it. L I can say that I would not have felt good about jamming there, +ev or not with a 250k ladder and possibly being the official final table bubble boy.

Yeah, surprised Jumalon didn't jam the turn on him.

Pocket Tens are this dudes favourite hand forever now.

Feng could’ve shot up to 2nd in chips there

Just call AK big mistake, should have jammed it pre.

Just shove the AK pre ffs, your OOP post flop and theres 7 mill to pick up

I know why you say that but it's tough with trayner a lot shorter, we still haven't gone a full orbit and there's been 2 allins and calls like wtf already.

Jumalon is opening super wide, and when we call there's 10M in the middle and we have 40M behind. That's a hugely important chunk. We're going to get run over by any two cards when we miss, and when we hit we're going to let him realize all his equity.

In a lot of ways there's less variance jamming because we get called so rarely.

I know and any other tournament it's an allin, this is THE bubble and that's going to make people play weird and it's an absolute disaster if you bust now. I might, might not I'm not even sure myself

Change weird to worse and you're spot on. Being able to pull the trigger on the proper plays to the best of your usual ability is essential.

Otherwise from the moment you buy in you're doomed to making suboptimal plays when you're in the timelines where you're playing for the vast majority of the prize pool, which means the EV of the buyin was way lower in the first place.

Shoving 12 BB with TT is pretty normal as is the call with AK.

GG

We talking about a different hand. Jumalon raised in MP and shovel flatted in the big blind.

When trainer jams the flop on that last hand, it might actually be better for jumalon to fold, keep the bubble going and continue to run the table over.

well when both of us make it next year I hope you make the optimal play and it gets you 10th. (I know you cashed this year and I didn't play and odds are you've got a better shot at getting there than I do so I can't even **** talk about it, sad!)

Yeah a little surprised he snapped. He probably makes ~10M chips per orbit in EV.
