Daniel Negreanu

And I was like, okay, well, this guy's aggressive.

He likes to bluff and all this kind of stuff.

So I made the call with the ace king and he turned over 6-8.

So we had a straight.

But here's the thing.

In theory, that river card is bad for him.

When I call the turn, I have, a lot of the time, three of a kind, two pair that just made a full house.

So he was risking that.

And the reason he did it was because he thought I would perceive him to be bluffing a lot.

So he just went for it.

And it worked.

He was able to double up right away and knock me out of the tournament like an hour in.

I think it came down to this.

It's as simple as this.

He was cognizant of his image as being a wild, aggressive bluffer, right?

And he was fully taking advantage of me knowing that my tendency in these spots is to be curious and I want to call and I want to see it.

So he was fully taking advantage of the fact that he thought I would call too often because otherwise his play makes no sense.

A small bet, a medium-sized bet, those make sense.

But the bet that he made...

in theory, is indefensible.
