We love your videos in Chattanooga, TN, Doug. It looks like you're nearing 9k subscribers, nice work! I'm certain if more viewers were introduced to your content that you'd be their favorite poker vlogger too. Good luck at the tables!
@@dougmccuskerpoker all the snowbirds are going to be coming down in a month or 2, it gets 2-3x as packed EVERYWHERE in south Florida, but the games are juicy! Tampa & Hollywood hardrock have solid games 24/7, and the new hardrock in Hollywood is a sight worth traveling to see in itself😂 happy grinding Doug, have a great week!
Never miss a one of your blog, love the 1/3 game spread living in Massachusetts been playing at Foxwoods some 26 years more or less .But i have devoted all my time to stud poker nevertheless I love listening to your poker Analysis. Pretty sure i would do ok in a 1/2 game patience is my strength experience would be my weakness.
@scotttennyson1577 Same where kinda, I just moved nesr Doug and trying to find a good 2-5 5-10 game so I csn crush the table. I'm the guy who will play a unsuited connector and bust AA 😆 🤣
Always nice to play the field, keep the fishes in, people seem to think everyone is bluffing nowadays , tight aggressive play always wins, people are impatient and want it all, quickly, doesnt work like that, hope youre well Doug, regards from across the pond!!!Fraser
Checking in from Menomonee Falls, WI (outside Milwaukee) Don't you love it when the deck plays nice with you? Glad to see a great 3 days, Doug! And Happy Birthday to that steak-loving Zeus!🎉🎉
Zeus loved he gifts and steak, and yes it’s nice when you run good 😀. I was somewhat frustrated that I was card dead so much in really good games. Action was crazy!!
Belated HBD to Zeus. Following your blog from Raleigh NC. Unfortunately, we are a solid 4 hr drive to a casino card room. They are building a Ceasars in Danville VA which is 70 min ride. But won’t open until 2024 at earliest. 😢
I live in Houston at the moment, but I am from Bama. Loved in CO for seven years as well as NC for six and GA for three. Played poker across several states as well. If u ever get a chance Houston has some good action along with Dallas and Austin. Heck San Antonio has a bunch of games too! Good luck at the tables!
Hi Doug. I’m in the Northeast, Providence Rhode Island. Fairly central between Foxwoods, Twin River and Boston Billiards (the latter two are Rampage’s old haunts). If you make it out this way I’ll definitely look forward to meeting you
Love your vlog. I am in Fort Worth, Texas. You should try out The Fort Card Room west of Fort Worth. And you can try the two Texas Card House rooms to the east. I think you would do well playing poker in Texas.
Talking Stick is the best in the valley.I go when I can to play 2/3. Lone Butte is ok in Chandler but bad service. They have Hondah near Pinetop up here by me,but they only play 3/6 limit and a daily tournament.I rarely go.
Yeah they're great. Good food also. Come play if ever in Phoenix. Only drawback I think for ya is they don't allow vlogging from what I know. I've never seen it. They don't allow phones on the table.
Denver. Come play some time in Blackhawk! At least one of the casinos (with $1/$3 match the stack) is vlogger-friendly… Thanks for another great video!
You win when the cards are just dreadful, you win when you play well, you win BIG when the cards run your way and play well. You just win! Congrats again. Glad you finally lit a green light on objective 5. If you do visit Austin, I’ll prolly not play because I hate the proliferation of PLO double board bomb pots in the games here coupled with the time rake mandated in Texas. Of course I’ll figure out a way for us to meet up and maybe do something Texan. Continued good luck.
Thanks Mike! I don’t always win. In fact you could make the same statement with (you lose) and it would be accurate. The key is to lose small when running bad and maximize your win when running good. I was very fortunate this week to book a nice win this week.
Up in NH. Nice vlog. Don’t understand the reasoning with the 6/5 clubs shove on turn when you said he’s probably not folding. Just because you said you would shove your value Hands doesn’t mean you should shove your Bluff if you think he is almost always calling. Sounds like a great casino for action, I’m jealous. The NH poker rooms are mostly not like that.
Portland Oregon! You should definitely come up here and visit. We have fantastic poker here. Our 1-2 plays like 2-5 everywhere else. Very similar to texas poker. Also, we have no rake. Only a $20 door fee to play as long as you want.
@@dougmccuskerpokerIn Portland we have card rooms or “social gaming clubs” similar to how texas does it. Portland Meadows is by far the best place to play, but we have several good size rooms with 18-25 tables. Meadows does a 1-2 ($400 max) and 5-5 ($2000 max), plus all the places here do double board Omaha bomb pots once an orbit. All the rooms have $400 or $500 max 1-2 games with bomb pots though.
Happy bday Zeus, from furry friends Ramsay (corgi) and Willow (jack russell/italian greyhound) up here in Portland, Ore. :) top-5 poker vlogs up there with Ben Deach, Lex O Poker, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme.
@@dougmccuskerpoker Hard to say, my "usual" place is GVC which is now owned by Caesars, but I have gone to Rivers over the past few weeks. Rivers has a better High hand promotion. both have a bad beat but GVC's high hand is only M-Th. from 1PM to 11PM and it's $200 for every 2 hours.. while Rivers is noon till midnight and $500/hour.. Anyway, both have pesky IL gaming rules and don't allow Vlogging.
Hello from San Diego....how long have you been playing, and what is or was your regular profession, just curious, Mr. McCusker....thank you for your vlogs....
I worked my way thru college playing poker, got a real job but reverted back to the game I love. Been playing for 35 plus years. Love San Diego, have a kid at SDSU.

With all that experience, you would do well if you ever made the switch. 26 years of live reads is priceless.
Hey Doug, your friend from Maryland loves watching your vlogs!
I enjoyed you comment on my wife’s recent post.
Hi Maryland, how the games out on the east coast

That’s tough, you must have some home games or something. 4 hrs is way to far.
Enjoying your vlog from Pleasanton
Pleasanton! Do you play at the Grand?
Hi and good luck Doug . Rooting you on from north central Montana
Thanks! I once played basketball in Billings, it was very cold there.
Happy birthday Zeus. Good job Doug
Zeus says thanks!🐕. Appreciate your support.
Happy birthday Zeus, Sudbury Ontario. Enjoy the videos ver much. ( tells )
Thanks 👍🐕, I wish I could share more info on tells. I’ve found a great one recently. Saved me from being stacked twice last week.
Well done. I live at the coast of Washington state, but I'll not be seeing you around here as there are no close poker rooms.
A few years back we had a family event in Seattle, we drove back along the coast. What a beautiful drive.
I live in Houston at the moment, but I am from Bama. Loved in CO for seven years as well as NC for six and GA for three. Played poker across several states as well. If u ever get a chance Houston has some good action along with Dallas and Austin. Heck San Antonio has a bunch of games too!
Good luck at the tables!
Thanks Brian, I am considering a trip to Texas or Florida this winter.
Sometimes OMC here in Austin. I like your play style and will often think during a hand WWDD. Keep on vlogging.
Thanks, I feel my style is a good balance or risk/reward. My swings are less than most and my win rate is solid.
Hi Doug. I’m in the Northeast, Providence Rhode Island. Fairly central between Foxwoods, Twin River and Boston Billiards (the latter two are Rampage’s old haunts). If you make it out this way I’ll definitely look forward to meeting you
I remember Ethan vlogging from BB. Trying to plan a trip this winter, probably headed towards the South. I hate cold weather.
Willing to fly in for a meet up game .... outside Chicago... Happy Birthday Zeus
Chicago! What’s the name of the poker room near there?
Zeus had the yummy steak 😋 Nice results, Doug!!!
Thanks, Zeus loves a good steak.
Sarasota, FL. Lots of good poker action down here at 1/3!
Florida is high on my must visit list.

Checking in from Houston TX
Thanks Jim, would love to play some Texas style holdem.
White mountains, Arizona. I always enjoy your vids. Your a good player.
Thanks for saying that ☺️, I still have plenty of room for improvement. Where do you play poker at?
Talking Stick is the best in the valley.I go when I can to play 2/3. Lone Butte is ok in Chandler but bad service. They have Hondah near Pinetop up here by me,but they only play 3/6 limit and a daily tournament.I rarely go.
I hear good things about talking stick
Yeah they're great. Good food also. Come play if ever in Phoenix. Only drawback I think for ya is they don't allow vlogging from what I know. I've never seen it. They don't allow phones on the table.
Strange, correction. I've seen Mariano vlogs there and pokerface Ash. I guess you need special permission that takes awhile.
Watching from Muskegon Michigan. Great casinos for poker near me are Gun Lake Casino in Grand Rapids or Firekeepers Casino in Battle Creek
Awesome, thanks for the Casino rundown. Appreciate your support!
Nice run Doug always look forward to your videos BTW I am from Massachusetts 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I ran well even though I didn’t have many hands to play.

Happy birthday from Idaho Zeus! 🎉
Zeus says thanks 🐕, how’s the poker in Idaho?
@@dougmccuskerpoker home games only! Have to drive to Oregon Or Washington for the casinos / card rooms
Boise, Idaho. Fishing great, all public poker in Oregon. Visit anytime!
Haven’t been to Idaho, I suck at fishing, lol, my wife is the fisherman in the family.
Michigan. Playing mostly $1$2 at MGM Grand Detroit. Sometimes getting wild at Hollywood (Greektown) Casino.
Michigan! Thanks for checking in!
Enjoy your calm controlled play.. San Diego 😎🤙🏽
Love San Diego, as you get older, you get calmer. I was once a young gun.
STL here. If ever in the area, Ameristar has more gamble at 1/2. The 2/3 games are similar. Hollywood is like watching paint dry🤦♂️
Good to know, I hate watching paint dry. 😀
Denver. Come play some time in Blackhawk! At least one of the casinos (with $1/$3 match the stack) is vlogger-friendly…
Thanks for another great video!
I actually have played in Blackhawk! It was a long time ago and the games were very soft back then.
6:51 bingo bingo bongo quads Doug when I see you at the capitol. Let me know when you play. I would like to join you sometime
Bingo bango bongo - typo
I normally play Mon-Wednesday during the day.

New Hampshire! We have MGM Springfield and Boston Encore pretty close by in Mass
I’ve never been to NH, I hear it’s beautiful.
@@dougmccuskerpoker yes especially during the autumn season. Next month all the leaves will be super colorful
You played ak of diamonds good. Slight over bet jams are good on double flush draw turns
I like the overbet as well. I feel I need to overbet more often, especially when my opponent has a likely draw.
Up in NH. Nice vlog.
Don’t understand the reasoning with the 6/5 clubs shove on turn when you said he’s probably not folding. Just because you said you would shove your value Hands doesn’t mean you should shove your Bluff if you think he is almost always calling.
Sounds like a great casino for action, I’m jealous. The NH poker rooms are mostly not like that.
It was overly optimistic of me to think he would fold a pair. If I had it to do over again I would check the turn.

Zeus was very happy with his steak.
I bet he was right on! I also love that book that I see on your intro. I’m trying to find it. Any ideas? I play eight hours a day online.
The Course is an excellent book. I would recommend all of Ed Miller’s books, he has a way of stating complex ideas in simple terms.
