Seeing a lot of hate on Jesse for this fold and it’s eye opening to me. Jesse has been having phenomenal results the last couple years, precisely because he is willing to trust himself in these type of spots. He got this one wrong, but how often is he getting it right, and getting away from coolers that most humans just shrug and go broke on? The easy play is to call here and lament your bad luck. The difficult, above the rim plays require a trust in yourself that few possess.

If the guy had the straight, Jessie is a genius, but because he was bluffing he is the fool? It’s a fine line, and if you don’t understand this you can never unlock your full potential. “It is not the critic who counts…”
