In a deeper game I'm usually looking to raise more than 2.5x pre, yeah. However, KGB opened this hand rather sneakily and I don't think any of us would've placed him on two aces.ĭepends on how deep the game is. I think it comes down to cockiness and not thinking about his opponents hand strength. The only way Matt Damon could beat this hand is if he himself had two 9's in his hand and those 9's came out on the flop and the turn. The problem is that the two nines are community cards, so "making" his full house is actually bad for the board if someone else could have the nuts. Instantly putting KGB on a flush draw is a bad idea and shows his inexperience at the beginning of the movie.Īfter KGB bets Matt Damon moves all in. Matt Damon's problem was placing his opponent on cards (not even really placing him) without giving himself time to read KGB. Was it wise to not check to KGB? Maybe not as it pans out, but if Matt Damon was looking for value with his top two pair (aces and nines) then he's achieving the desired result. He knew KGB would believe he was bluffing when he bet more chips. Matt Damon knew his opponent better than we do. In my completely non-expert opinion, while having just seen the movie earlier today: Hero shows Ac 9c, full house 9's over aces and mucks losing a pot of $71'000 (-35'500 net) KGB shows Ah Ad, full house aces over 9's winning a pot of $71'000.
