Please explain to me how having the 4th nuts is unfoldable? It all depends - like everything in poker. 4th nuts on a 10 9 5 3 J where 4 are the same suit is very weak, especially when the action gets hot. If you mean on this 1 hand - then I don't see why not. I'd fold it against some opponents and I'd raise against others.
Like he proved in that bluff, the cards are one of the least important aspects of poker - position/aggression and opponent awareness has a far greater importance.
There's many hands where folding the 2 nuts is the right play.
Also we don't know the pot odds here? He hasn't given us any info regarding the pot or the betting so we have no idea what the pot odds were.
But we can safely assume that it was quite a large pot because it got all the way to the river - unless there were some unorthodox moves involved.
Anyway, congrats Crouch
Perhaps I should have been more clear - I
meant this hand.
I wouldn't ever play the fourth nuts in some hands, it's just stupid to do so, especially when you have a read on your opponent.
As for pot odds, judging by the way it was played it seems to me the size of the pot was sufficient enough that he was getting the right price to call. I know we don't know the pot exactly, but we can guess it by the way it was played.
Yes, there are many hands where folding the second nuts is the right play - but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen, does it? I don't think I've ever witnessed someone fold a full boat - even when there's a set on the board.
The fourth nuts in that hand was good enough. Obviously. I guess some people are just too simple minded to figure out where they are in a hand.
