How To TILT Eric Persson!!!!! [HUGE Error]

Published 2024-07-03
In this insane high stakes cash game hand, high rollers Eric Persson and Prince Charles lock horns on the Hustler Casino Live poker stream. Charles flops top set against the overly aggressive Persson in a massive 3-bet pot! Can he find a way to get max value?

When you get to the river with a very strong value hand, you must decide which bet size to use: small, medium, or large. Just remember that a small bet size can be used to induce bluffs and more importantly it helps protect a wider range of hands that you decide to bet small with.

Eric Persson is the owner of Maverick Gaming which has 19 poker card rooms in Washington state as well as some in Nevada and Colorado, he currently manages & owns a lot of different casinos throughout America. He is often involved in table antics, especially table talk which began against Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’ in April 2022 at the $25,000 PokerGo Heads-Up showdown, Eric and Phil exchanged vulgarities which some said went too far.

Prince Charles is an amateur poker player who often plays on Hustler Casino Live, he is introduced as a Bitcoin miner and plays any stakes that run on most live poker streams.

Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community. Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.

🔍 Pre-flop:

With blinds at $400/$800, Prince Charles looks down at pocket nines in the hijack before raising it to $2,400. Sitting directly next to him in the cutoff is Eric Persson with AKo, who 3-bets to $7,400. After the button and the blinds fold, Charles calls the 3-bet as both players head to the flop.

💸 Flop - 9s 6c 2s

Charles somehow remains stoic as he flops the nuts on the 9-high board. After Charles checks with his top set, Persson fires out a continuation bet of $10,000. Charles chooses not to check-raise but instead decides to slowplay by just making the call.

💣 Turn - Ad

An ace on the turn spells disaster for Persson but he doesn’t know it yet. Charles continues to set the trap and checks for a second time. Persson who has now hit top pair with his big slick decides to check as they both head to the river.

🌊 River - 3d

The river three completes an unlikely gutshot straight, but Charles isn’t scared of that as he now wants to get more value from his set and decides to fire out a bet of $20,000. Persson has to decide what he wants to do with top pair, top kicker - fold, call, or raise? Want to know what the multi-millionaire does? Watch this poker video to find out!

    Which poker player do YOU love to see tilt the most? 🤯
  • @jacobc8019
    Why can’t we ever see Perrson vs Tony G?
  • When Eric raises the river what is he hoping to get called by? Charles called the flop so he has something. I would just call because Charles can have all the two pairs and sets and when he shoves on you he is never bluffing.

    Miss these big friday games back when hustler was fun to watch
  • @snekye5419
    in a 'unique' river situation i'd usually take ~15s. I'm not very good so this is the time it takes to "review" everything and pick my final answer
  • @mikeduke1294
    I don't play with guys with exposed arm pits. Just a thing I have.
  • and thats why you dont raise river in a spot where your only getting better to call, if you wanna be greedy and go for thin value thinking he can call with weaker hands, you have to be prepared to let go of the hand if he comes over the top
  • @newtonheath92
    Yeah Eric made a bad raise on the river, but I don't think that's an easy fold at all. He's paying 34k to potentially win 216k, which gave him roughly a 1:6 pot odd. Yeah I know Jonathan said in spots like this pot odd doesn't matter, but I still think it kinda does. Anyway, Eric should just have called the river.
  • Eric likes to bully people which is how he gets his thrills. Set slow plays, top pair slow plays, set bets huge, top pair raises.
  • The reasoning seems a little self-defeating, though. What you're saying is: No one would bluff here because I'm guaranteed to call. Therefore, I should fold. Well, doesn't that give someone incentive to bluff here?
  • 30s to figure out how much is in the pot. 3s to actually make a decision. Coming from mostly online play, keeping up with pot size and stack sizes is 90% of my tanking, then when I figure all that out, what to do is usually fairly quick.
  • I try to keep with within the 10-30 second range, but typically I take a little more time when considering big bluffs and big value bets. Unless there's the rare situation where I have a hand that beats a super nutted hand that I know will call for all the chips. Then my decisions get way fast lol but most of my home game regs recognize that a longer than 30 second tank from as being inherently polarized anyway.
  • @hansari8697
    Yea think Charles is trying to get called by the weaker part of Eric’s range. I will say the snap check on the turn that Eric did is usually a strong hand trying to induce. See that move all the time from recreational players in mid stakes games.

    This is IMO, but I can't stand HC, we went there to play and it was more like a bar, where people just happen to play poker, than a real card casino. We literally went from the Lodge in Austin, hopped a plane, and were at Hustler within a few hours, and it was like night and day. One was fun with serious games and cool people, and the latter was full of drunks blowing off steam (and pots) yelling and acting a fool. Sure, if you just want to fleece rich drunk guys, while dodging professional ladies (at least that's what they looked like), it's your spot, but not if you want good poker.
  • Luv the vid. How long I think has alot to do with how many blinds I have at risk and the SPR. The deeper I am the more I have to process the math, way the pro v con, decide what hands my opponent might be putting 200bb+ into, say, an 150bb pot, etc etc. If its for less than 50bb usually 5 - 6s (already have the decision decided before time to act), if its approaching 100b you can make it about 10s while I do a quick double check of the scenario; if its 500bb (happened recently) I took about 2 minutes. And still made the wrong decision. lol
  • @Coooooz
    I try to take the same amount of time for all my decisions on most streaks, maybe 10/15 seconds. Unless I am facing a river bet and I am never raising.
  • @atfti
    Bart Hansen commentating is wonderful
  • Sometimes you must throw the math out the window!! Opponent checks, you bet your A-K, opponent calls. Turn is check, check. On the river the opponent bets money( any damn amount doesn’t matter) , now you only have two options. You call or you fold. You NEVER raise your opponent on river in situations such as this one. That was most certainly a jackass raise.
