pantin007 · Feb 13, 2009

lol, didnt mean to post that but ofcourse it is a sick sick laydown, that is discipline

braveboat · Feb 14, 2009

Quite the lay down...

Monoxide · Feb 14, 2009

Wow, insane, johnny chan must be a god or something.

MENGAOPORRA · Feb 15, 2009

nice fold !!! it`s hard to fold AA but he showed that he knows to read the opponent very well

Reducto · Feb 15, 2009

The extra J probably made it a lot easier to let go. Would he have been able to refrain from putting any more money in the pot if the flop had been 6 8 J instead?

great fold from his part he just knew what the other player had!
that is a good poker player,
the one who folds great hands when he knows he is beaten!

dj11 · Feb 15, 2009

He knew all he really had was a pair of ones.

I imagine most of the players around here have folded AA on a bad flop. I know I have, exactly and only once . However, most of the time, most of us don't listen to that little voice of reason and do stupid stuff .

I think you have to listen to what Johnny said. Huck is a very agressive player, and probably would have bet those scare cards, if he didn't hit. But Johnny said that he read a monster hand in Huck's check.

I would have liked to have seen an ace or another jack on the river, to pay Huck back for trying to trap. Especially another jack. Then we would have seen how good Chan's read really was. With another ace, Chan has the nuts, but another jack would have left Huck with jacks over sixes, against jacks over aces. If Chan would have called that, that really would have been impressive.

That's a tough call to make online. I don't think I would have the discipline. But perhaps he saw or heard something in the check to know? Very impressive.

pokerjdud · Feb 16, 2009

well ya gotta figure, theres two other open hands, thats 4 more cards, and odds are someone has a better hand...you just cant trust AA with that kinda flop anymore, because alot of people will play anything these days. thats exactly why mr chan makes a killing playing this game.

woody19 · Feb 16, 2009

easy fold with aa even tho some times it is hard 2 fold those bullits with that sort of board and 2 ppl in play odds are some 1 got something better

justinx · Feb 16, 2009

Exactly...without the J , he probably loses ALOT.

dj11 · Feb 16, 2009

I thought I saw something in Hucks demeanor that suggested he hit big, but I don't think that in game I could have layed down the aces. That's why I ain't Johny Chan!

drum_mark · Feb 17, 2009

id have to say that i have to many bad experiences with aces expecally in live toun. dont even like calling them ne more , but do or course, lool

Cowboy8112 · Feb 17, 2009

The Best of the Best play the players, not so much the cards. We have all heard that, here it is in living color

Four Dogs · Feb 17, 2009

I actually get the flop and turn check, but I'm not sure I understand the river fold. Read or no read, was he that sure that Huck wouldn't take a stab at that pot with just about any 2 cards? I think I even heard Doyle speculate on that. Not even worth a call? Good fold this time but I have to wonder about its long term EV.

LizzyJ · Feb 17, 2009

At around 0:47 seconds the way Huck looked at Johnny when he checked was the tell that he had a big hand. I imagine Johnny has seen Huck check a thousand times, and this time was a little different than usual.

aLoser4evR · Feb 17, 2009

It's a hard lay down but a logical one....pocket A's look great but get beat easy on the flop a lot by suited JQ JK ect.

burdis123 · Feb 17, 2009

yeah its hard to lay down but he reads his playersr like a book a very experienced player

robertmcpokster · Feb 17, 2009

the chan man .... he is one of my favorites for shur . i love that wsop game wher he checks his way victory .

good luck on the felts . ROBERT

It's not the laydown difficulty that's amazing. It ain't difficult to lay it down if there's a pair on board. It's the way he lays it down even though Seed only value betted. Chan wasn't faced with all in bet. Chan was only faced with small bet. Most people would call and say, let's see what he's got. But Chan doesn't even spare single of his chips and instant folds. If someone all ined from that point, Everyone in Chan's position would fold. But if someone only betted small or value betted, most people would call with their pocket Aces. But Chan laid it down. That's what's amazing. Most people would call and see opponent's hands. People think it's amazing he lays down pocket aces because they think "how can he possibly lay that DOWN when it's like invincible hand most of the time" But actually, it was easy laydown if you do "reading the board" because any Jack can beat you. But if it's minimal or value raise, then most people still call with pocket aces because they think it's worth calling just to check it out.
