Five-time author and three-time WSOP bracelet winner Matt Matros returns to the GRID to discuss a hand from his latest book,Twenty four NLHE Tournament Hands from 2024: A Year of Nitty Folds and Daring Bluffs.
The hand was played in Philadelphia, where both Jennifer and Matt head to next week for the PokerStars Philadelphia Open.
Matt Matros, 70 big blinds deep with his opponent, raised Ace-Four of spades from the hijack which was met by a three-bet on the cutoff. Matt called and they saw a flop of 653 rainbow with one spade. Matt check called a 2/3 pot bet on the flop. The turn brought the three of spades, which was checked through. The river was yet another three, and Matros went all in, for 1.5x pot. As his opponent tanked, Matt had plenty of time to think about ranges in what he ultimately calls his “favorite hand of the year.”
Beyond the hand, Jen and Matt discuss the stickiness of results-oriented thinking, Matt’s poker writing style and the limitations of solvers when analyzing live poker hands.
They also talk about Matt’s next big career move, as he heads to law school in his 40s. Matt is another example of someone who proves it’s never too late to play your best poker, or to make a big life move. “Don’t let some number on your driver’s license dictate what you’re going to do.”
