Here’s a very interesting hand from the FTOPS online tournament with Mike Matusow vs an amature player. The amature player makes a 4-5x bb raise from mid posiiton preflop. Mike Matusow simply calls on the BB with AQ diamonds. The flop looks quite benign with 7d4d4s. Mike Matusow is first to act, out of position after the flop, and dives all in on his flush draw and 2 overcards. Hm, it’s quite an aggressive play by Mike to shove his entire stack all in out of position. If the other player had pocket sevens or fours, it’s an insta call for sure. Unfortunately for Mike, he ran into a monster hand–quad fours. If the other player had maybe a hand like AK, pocket 55-99, they would probably consider folding. Usually, when someone shoves all in out of position on a flop like this, they are either: 1) diving the flush draw 2) shoving on a low to mid pair to protect against the flush hitting or an overcard or 3) rare naked bluff. If Mike had actually had a hand like 10/10 to A/A, he might’ve bet for information, bet to protect his hand (pocket 10/10 to k/k), or made a value bet.
