WPH #526: Savage SLOWROLL Leaves Him DISGUSTED!

The Poker Coaching Podcast with Jonathan Little

Dan Cates also known as Jungleman has proven himself as one of the most formidable online poker players in the world. However, he is known to grace the live tables and in this hand he found himself in the cash game streets on the Lodge Card Club stream in Texas. He is battling against stream regular and action player Taras. Jungleman finds himself in a bit of a predicament after he value bets an overpair on the river only for Taras to turn over his cards and show the winning hand whilst he contemplates his decision. Will Cates be able to talk him into folding the winning hand?
On the turn, when the board is extremely connected and wet, you should look to use large bet sizes such as a pot sized bet or an overbet. A lot of rivers will change the board texture which may not allow you to bet again with hands that were previously strong value hands. Charge your opponents more for them to draw to their straight or flush.
Dan Cates also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z is a 33 year old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live.

Preflop: With the $200 straddle on, Viper limps in with AKo from under the gun +2. Dan Cates raises to $1,000 from the button with pocket jacks. After the small blind folds, Taras decides to 3-bet to $3,400 with 94 of diamonds. Viper calls with his big slick, and Jungleman calls with the jiggities.
Flop – Th 9h 9c: Taras out flops his opponents with trip nines. He fires a continuation bet of $4,500. Viper folds ace king, but Jungleman sticks around with his overpair and they go to the turn heads up.
Turn – 6c: The 6 of clubs on the turn introduces a second flush draw and brings in a possible straight. Taras fires a second barrel of $15,000. Jungleman calls again and they head to the river.
River – 5c: The backdoor flush comes in on the 5 of clubs river. Taras slows down and checks with his trip nines. Jungleman attempts to extract some value with his overpair to the board. He bets $21,500 for just under half-pot. Taras doesn’t call straight away; instead, he turns his cards over to try and get a read from the online poker legend. Jungleman then starts to talk to Taras in an attempt to get him to lay down the best hand. But will it work? Stay tuned to the end of this video to find out.
