Weird spot in the 1k $2,000,000 Guarantee RiverRiot72 is a great highstakes reg How would you play this spot? Call or fold river?

when i lived with @IMatakis in college i remember he put a jar of unopened salsa in the fridge and i said "bro you know that's sealed, you can just leave it in the cupboard" and he said "but what if I want it to be cold when I open it" I think about that mindset a lot...

1) It was 10.5bb, CO, soft bubble, and it was suited 2) You have zero self awareness, talking about HRC sims on a milly maker table full of people who play 2 tournaments a year, yapping during 2 big river decisions, and calling clock way too fast on a guy who was fast all day

Just watched 2023 player of the year rip KJ for 11 bbs from HJ on the stone bubble of an 11000 person field. 😂😂 I guess anyone can win it. Just have to be lucky?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Set a new high score by a long ways! @IMatakis has taken me to the next level and I’m excited to continue to grow with him! Also, HUGE shoutout to @TerenceAntony for being on the rail and keeping the mental game in check. Couldn’t have done it without him.
