Dwan v Galfond 2-7Draw
However this hand:

Really bothered/interested me.
Does anyone else share the idea that Dwan pre planned the whole hand; knowing that the 3B, followed up by discarding 3 (the two essentially representing two opposite things - strength and weakness), knowing it is then an auto lead for Galfond once he discards 3, and then raising Galfonds lead.
Dwan looks so FOS that it looks strong.
My friend says Dwan is just building a pot and hopes to draw out which seems way too basic.
Can someone with knowledge of Draw games explain how you would interpret this hand.
Thanks.

If so, I agree this is a very interesting hand. I really don't know durrrr's game at all so I couldn't venture to guess what his snowing frequency is. I also agree with you that after drawing 3 on 1st draw and then raising, it just looks like he would never be bluffing there but I suppose thats where the leveling war begins.
This really is a higher level of No Limit 2-7 Triple Draw than I'm use to so I really couldn't guess what durrrr was thinking or planning. Perhaps Mr Galfond could shed some light on what his thoughts were through the hand?
I think Durrrr feels he can 3bet wide here, because it is really hard to 4bet wide at these stack sizes Oop (even a hand like 2368x isn't nutty, so from a UTG/MP range you can't show up with many pats or 2347nut draws). Apparently he thinks he can do it as wide as 23xxx, which is reasonable since he is often going to flop enough equity to continue in the hand.
On flop, Galfond didn't 4bet pre and drew 1, so his range is overwhelmingly full of 8 high 1 card draws (like 2368, 3458, etc). Those are capped at the 5th nuts, so they'll have a pretty hard time withstanding 1000bb's worth of pressure. Even a hand like 24568 won't want to raise/reraise/stackoff for an SPR of 30 (!).
All of this to say Durrr probably thought Galfond couldn't bet/3bet flop very wide, and probably had a nuttier hand than Galfond (2347x kind of stuff).
Once 2nd draw comes and both draw 1, I would think Durrr actually has a stronger range than galfond, and the rest of the hand seems fairly standard.
