He did all that shit just to get snapped off on the river. Love to see it by Wesley. Kid has come a long way from being clueless to becoming a solid player.
To be fair Wesley's reasoning makes a lot more sense because it is opponent specific. A7 is not a hand this specific opponent is going to have very often on the river and so you are only really losing to an absolute cooler.
Doug, let me just say "thank you" for returning to making poker content. I was an avid sub before you took a break and missed your content. However I completely understood your desire to branch out and try some new stuff and wished you the best. After all, you're back and I hope that is making you happy! You have a lot of fans out here who are happy that you're back to poker. All the best!
Great to feature the players and poker personalities, its something new and very interesting and informative. Doug is a genius and a crusher on the felt and the RUclips streets. Well done man
It's so awesome that you get commentary from the players! These videos have been NEXT-LEVEL! Thanks for commentary. Been watching the backlog of Polker Hands .
@@JBrandonMercer123 @keithkelso Keep a watchout for the grammar police guys! Lol. I mean watch out for them, they're like cops on motorcycles... love to set speed traps!
I've trapped a lot of people with this type of hand. Wesley won't fold AA under any circumstances, and that's why he's never going to have what it takes to win the WSOP. This is a cash game, yes, but he would play it identically in a tournament. When your opponent actually concealed QQ or 7-8s, you'll wish you hadn't snapped called just because you have aces.
@@RobbieStacks90 Francisco was face up here. He looked genuine weak, reluctant the whole hand, genuinely looking at Wesley to see what he was doing. Wesley snap called because he was sure, and his hand even improved on the river, and his antics of being a nit aren't to be believed, imo. Unless you've seen Wesley in a tournament you shouldn't count him out. He seems pretty smart, reading situations accurately. Not sure why you are bringing up WSOP, anyway, tbh. Edit: I hadn't even seen Wesley's explanation at the end. He said what I said, here, basically... did you see it? He said they had history in these spots, and he said he figured Francisco would think he was bluffing, and it played out like that through the river. As to why Francisco thought he needed to bet the river to push Wesley off a bluff... he probably just changed his mind and figured Wesley did have something better.
@@ticenits1926 I mean, if Francisco put his opponent on a big Ace like AK, AJ, etc he may think he has the best hand. Not really a bluff if you just misread the opponent lol
@@brianpotter2812 it's a bluff if nothing worse can call. You put your opponent on ace high so you checkraise him and think he'll do what exactly, call it off with nothing?
@@dman8557 dude your comment makes 0 sense, action players WILL get stacked at one point or another. its part of the game. its hilarious because you say "Youre a genius!" ironically, implying that he's an idiot, but it's actually you that's the idiot.
YES IT IS LOL.... hate playing with messy chip stackers lol...20 chips per stack dammit LOL or double stack but i dont really like that either.. keep them neat
The difference between Solver based GTO and exploitative. Wesley read his man to perfection and stuck to the plan. And Solvers are great if everyone is playing by them, but when they’re not its a disaster to miss value like this right?
Love having the players 2 min straight forward explanation instead of only your analysis. Your review is great, but it gives a great contrast to theory and gives you a look into the real moment gut thoughts.
Wesley is the man lol Even with a booger. He sounds like me when I’m trying to explain my reasoning for some brilliant play and trying to sound all smart but it just comes out simple af 😂
I’m suprised Doug approved of Francisco calling the flop 3b. As played I would just concede the hand. We have no back door fd we are drawing effectively dead vs sets and very slim vs over pairs. There are also very few natural bluffs for Wesley and even when he has one it’s just gonna be too hard to hang on oop with stacks this deep.
Wesley's explanation was on point and he referenced that Francisco is a certain type of player with whom he had history. I think that is the key to how he played the hand. very well done.
Wes's explanation is pretty applicable to anyone in the general pool though. Check raising top pair makes no sense whatsoever because you could always be up against a set or AA. And then to raise the turn and jam the river is just plain awful. Nobody would ever take that line with any high value hand. Fran was basically just bluffing the whole way through trying to force Wes to fold, which is even worse considering you dont need wes to fold when you have TP. You're either way ahead or way behind already.
@@ticenits1926 raising the preflop raiser w/ a mere flopped pair is indeed not great play but thats what Wesley meant. He knew what Francisco had because that's what he does. On the other side Wes admitted he rerases with nothing all the time against Francisco. I think that's what played into this hand. The context and history is imporrtant. It's like a bluff within a bluff . It's meta poker at another level not level 1 obvious stuff.
@@JYLee-rr1sy oh I get it, Wes knows 90% of the time he can do this as a bluff but recognized this time with AA he might actually get called which he did. I was criticizing Fran's play to continue to push TP this hard to the point that he's effectively just bluffing with it, but he's in a spot where he doesnt need to bluff hence why the hand just turned into nonsense and he got stacked for it. This was borderline J4o level of play.
Fantastic analysis Doug. However. Poker is all about how you play the player. Francisco’s jam there didn’t make too much sense. He’s telling Wesley he is bluffing both the flop and the turn with a 7 or telling Wesley he had a set or Q7 on the flop? It is also important to know he’s playing against Wesley. Francisco’s facial expression and demeanor at the end when the river 7 came out really told Wesley he didn’t know what to do with that river… so he jams and SNAP-CALLED. 😂
Gotta give it to Francisco he’s got guts ! My heart was racing just watching him tank knowing he wasn’t going to check muck in this brutal spot he got himself into.
imo, its pretty clear play with AA with those knows about the opponent. River action is either check or all in and possibly for wesley, either calling allin, or small size bet to checks.
Hello Doug again I totally enjoy your breakdown of the hand . I was totally shocked when he went all in he had to know that Wesley had an over pair so why bet ? Looking forward to your next video so Goodbye for Now .
When you we're going to talk to Wesley I think a meme or something else was going to pop up and not that great insight haha. Enjoyable as always love the format keep up the work Doug
Live tell moment: note how long Pro stares at the board while tanking in river. He's absolutely bluffing here. TPGK is definitely a bluff in this spot. Pro is a tell box. He stares at the board when bluffing, his chips when strong.
He was talking about how QJ sometimes continues as a call but basically never "gets in there" as a raise. He is lists properties of hands the solver does like to raise with.
Good ole Doug review….. you could , raise, call or 3 bet. And sometimes fold. I swear iam more confused on how to play the hand after watching the video. Lol
Doug.....where can i find the chart that you showed in this video? Also, are these considered nosebleed stakes or in Wesley's case.....nose booger stakes :)
That’s not a genius! That’s an artist at work. Invite west side Wesley to the lodge it’ll bring in viewers. Dude has balls. Many people don’t believe when he said he’s new to poker. He uses poker theory very well.
I’m guessing the answer to that is no. I’m guessing it goes exact same on flop. Then check , bet , call on turn. ( instead of check raise) Then either check , check on river Or 40-50K lead , call on river. ( specifically with a boat) I don’t think Francisco would risk pushing Wesley out of the hand with a a check raise on turn. Francisco body language would also be very different I would imagine. And I think Wesley prob picks up on this by the turn. If Francisco wanted to win this hand … his only chance was slow playing until the river … and then 2-3X pot jam when the board paired 7s. But as played .. he’s saying I have - QQ, 33, quads, or Q7. And even 33 is borderline. Very often those hands don’t try to blow you off the pot in all 3 streets.
Sometimes not all the time maybe 5-10% to balance it. Depends on feel of table like if they open raising often follow by 3 bet. Or ur table image if you look loose u can Just raise. 3 bet with ace looks suspicious most of time to experience player vs new player. I like just calling more in 9 handed then 6 probably.

He truly does it better than anybody

@@Lumerlume11 you don't need to solve it just be better than your opponents. You don't play against a solver.

The re-raise on the flop was the perfect setup for representing a set to get AA and KK to fold, the snap call was surprising.

new video layout is nice
hi doug which software do u use for evaluation
I’m fucken dead Wesley has a booger 😂😂😂
Hi Doug like your videos i have a question " GTO and poker ranges are absolutely USELESS " What are your thoughts ?
@13:32 I don't use solvers, why do you say QJ never calls here but the solver says 53% call?
He was talking about how QJ sometimes continues as a call but basically never "gets in there" as a raise. He is lists properties of hands the solver does like to raise with.
Love how Doug is showing off his arms
Wesley’s English has improved so much.
Good ole Doug review….. you could , raise, call or 3 bet. And sometimes fold. I swear iam more confused on how to play the hand after watching the video. Lol
Wait! Where's the into bro!?! I need me some BRRREEEAAAKIINGGGG NEWS!!!!
Maybe it isn't a snap call, but judging by the way Francisco looked (physically looked sick), it's a pretty easy call.
I’m glad Wesley is balancing his booger range.
how is this only mentioned once 🤔 and no pun made by Doug
“What’s your stance on polygamy” right before the flop lol
Doug.....where can i find the chart that you showed in this video? Also, are these considered nosebleed stakes or in Wesley's case.....nose booger stakes :)
Are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room that is Wesleys booger when talking about the hand? :D
Snap call. What a maniac...well played

Franscisco is reprezenting a set of 3s like Doug said. My question is would he still play Q7 the same way? Or Q3?
I’m guessing the answer to that is no. I’m guessing it goes exact same on flop.
Then check , bet , call on turn. ( instead of check raise)
Then either check , check on river
Or 40-50K lead , call on river. ( specifically with a boat)
I don’t think Francisco would risk pushing Wesley out of the hand with a a check raise on turn.
Francisco body language would also be very different I would imagine. And I think Wesley prob picks up on this by the turn.
If Francisco wanted to win this hand … his only chance was slow playing until the river … and then 2-3X pot jam when the board paired 7s.
But as played .. he’s saying I have -
QQ, 33, quads, or Q7. And even 33 is borderline.
Very often those hands don’t try to blow you off the pot in all 3 streets.
Question... 6 handed, under the gun, would you ever just Call and not raise with AA??
Sometimes not all the time maybe 5-10% to balance it. Depends on feel of table like if they open raising often follow by 3 bet. Or ur table image if you look loose u can Just raise. 3 bet with ace looks suspicious most of time to experience player vs new player. I like just calling more in 9 handed then 6 probably.
