"High Stakes Poker." Some called it the greatest fold in the history of the show.
At their essence, many folds are exercises in great discipline and hand reading skills. This one, however, was a bit different. This one came down to one thing: table talk. And it wasn't the experienced live pro talking his way into the correct play. Instead, the tables turned as the online legend used table talk to outwit the man ostensibly far more comfortable live.
Here, we'll take a look at how that happened and what lessons can perhaps be learned.
