Linus ‘LLinusLLove’ Loeliger enjoyed a profitable day in the high-stakes no-limit hold’em games on CoinPoker, winning more than $500,000 on Jan. 26. Loeliger took on several opponents heads up, playing as big as $500-$1,000 with a $167 ante. There was also action in $100,000 buy-in ring games, which isn’t the norm, and Loeliger won a few stacks there.
In the heads-up games, the longtime cash game pro faced off with the likes of ‘limitlesss’ and Kayhan ‘KayhanMok’ Mokri, who has been crushing the nosebleed games both live and online for months.
Loeliger Gets There in Deep-Stacked Four-Bet Pot
Playing $300-$600 with a $120 ante, with 150-big blind stacks, Mokri raised to $1,500, Loeliger reraised to $6,300, and Mokri came back with $16,800. Loeliger called.
The flop came Q♦5♥2♠ , and Loeliger checked. Mokri bet $8,400, and Loeliger check-raised to $24,005. Mokri called. On the A♠, Loeliger bet $20,100. Mokri called. The river was the K♠, and Loeliger jammed in the last $29,558.

Hand Analysis
Loeliger makes a good three-bet here, and facing the four-bet, Q-J suited is a mandatory call.
On the flop, Loeliger’s check-raise is also fine, though he should mix calls as well. Mokri could just jam at that point. Kings are mostly in fantastic shape against Loeliger’s range, and there’s less than pot behind. That’s usually a good sign that getting it in with a good one-pair hand is best.
However, mixing calls is fine as well.
On the turn, both players find themselves looking at a card that hurts their equity. Both players are also now lower in their respective ranges, as each one could have plenty of A-X hands.
Loeliger opts to barrel again for a very small size. He can still squeeze out some value at that size, but he has the worst combo that’s supposed to bet for value. Even Qs-10s should check.
Pocket kings are indifferent facing the bet. Mokri’s call is fine, but if he thinks Loeliger isn’t finding enough bluffs, he should fold. Loeliger generally isn’t known for missing many bluffs, though.
Once Mokri gets to the river and improves, he has a clear call. He only needs to be good about 17% of the time, and a set beats value at that point, so he has no choice but to pay off.
Loeliger Gets Max Value from Top Pair
The players were shorter-stacked in this hand, playing 68 blinds deep at $500-$1,000 with a $167 ante. Mokri raised preflop to $2,200, and Loeliger called.
On the J♦10♥4♠ flop, Mokri continued for $1,483, and Loeliger raised to $6,858. Mokri called. The turn was the 9♦. Loeliger bet $8,974, and Mokri called. On the 3♠ river, Loeliger shoved for $50,582. Mokri called the overbet.
Loeliger showed Q♠J♥, and top pair was good against 10♦8♦.

Hand Analysis
This hand is shorter-stacked, but Loeliger still has a good check-raise on the flop with top pair. He is supposed to mix raises and calls about evenly with that combo, while K-J raises more often.
Mokri has a clear call with second pair and backdoor draws.
Loeliger decides to barrel off, but this is actually pretty close even playing well under 100 big blinds. Q-J is in good shape equity-wise. But it has a lot of river playability due to the straight draw, and it’s questionable whether opponents will call worse hands for three streets, in theory.
Mokri could bluff the turn, a line the solver does favor with his particular combo. With the bad end of the straight draw and a four-liner on board when it does come home, his straights often won’t get called by worse hands. It does have enough equity to peel, though.
The river is interesting here, as Loeliger goes slightly off the solver grid with a river jam that the computer thinks is a bit too thin. It’s only by one pip, however, as the solver does like jamming most of the K-J combos.
Interestingly, that shove informs what Mokri’s river play should be. In theory, 10-8 is indifferent on the river. It blocks some value with the pair and the straight blocker.
But if Loeliger is shoving wider than the solver for value, Mokri can exploit that by folding some of the mediocre bluff catchers. Instead, he pays off, and Loeliger wins a bigger pot than he probably should have.
