I think what he tried to do is do exactly what a player wouldn’t do when
flopping the nuts. I guess hes best shot of making hes hand look weak was
actually raising the nuts, that way he can make it look like he has the A/K
of spades in hes hand and just wants to take down the pot right there.
I like it how everyone is a pro on Youtube. I’ve heard of him but maybe his
style was aggressive and he often check-raised opponents. I for one would
have also reraised (but when I was first) but that is only because I tend
to play a lot of hands/bluff a lot.
Obviously everyone here has never played deep stack poker. If he smooth
calls, the other guy will almost certainly check fold on the next betting
round especially on a very coordinated board like this one. He is going for
the big score. If the other guy has the ace of spades or a flopped flush he
is going to take him for a huge score. At this point, at this level, you
are looking to gain a large dollars rather than little pennies.
if this is 2 handed, yes… but with raising there, he isolates the raiser
and made the other guy folded. With this stone cold nuts, you want as many
players as possible to stay in the hand. Of course he had no way to know
that the other guy has the top pair, but consider this… had he smooth
called, Balkin would definitely call or even reraise.

It made me sick watching this, why would he raise? What a fucking twat. No
wonder Germany lost both wars.

Yes, with a dream flop like that and unbeatable hand, just call and get
paid off on the turn and river. That was horrible betting.
