That Big Stupid smile sure did vanish off Tesla's face after he lost that big pot. He does a lot of celebrating when he wins, this is the flip side to that.
This is the tell tale sign of all maniacs, and then they try to justify themselves by belittling their opponents for calling. They think that they can just steamroll everyone all the time and never have any reprocussions.
Lol bro I was literally just thinking the same thing, what a good gig Doug has - automatically being allowed in these juicy games while still making money off the rake 😂
@OperationNonsense what's funny is no one can never tell Doug he can't play in the game lol. From all the times he got denied to play in juicy private games back in the day, now his dream has come true
Tesla lied on the 2nd to last hand. He claimed that he misread his hand, thinking he had a straight. How is that possible when after the turn he had 2,3,6, and 8? He was nowhere near having a straight, nobody misreads their hand by 2 cards. He was embarrassed because he got caught bluffing, so he played it off by pretending he misread his hand. He's the kind of guy that likes to bet big, playing the big shot, but can't handle losing very well.
I think your right but he could of thought he had 4 6 instead of 8 6. I think he was just embarrassed to show 8 6. He actually played the hand well untill the turn. If he just bet that turn he prob would of scooped the pot.
Respectfully He claimed to misread his hand and believed he had a straight. Motivation to lie would be not out of any sense of shame or embarrassment. It's to do creating doubt in his opponents mind about his bluff catching call. So Tara's can get only the minimum confidence or momentum from the showdown. It's damage control.
Happy Easter!!! Tesla is cringe to watch. Your playing with some pretty damn good poker players trying to bluff off your hand every time isn’t going to work. It is fun to see to some extent though 😅
Tesla is such an idiot - every single time he got caught bluffing he claimed he misread his hand and thought he had straight. Something about that dude annoys the hell out of me.
I do like aspects of his style of play aggression with suited cards especially. That Taras 3 bet on the flop should have had him hesitating to think of a pocket pair. Especially in a game where monster hands seemed pretty common for whatever reason.
He relies on the "all in" as his biggest weapon, but he overvalues the play. He knows that when they are sitting 700+ BB's deep that the 'all in' will get people to muck almost everything except the nuts. I'm sure he is able to bully a lot of opponents who likely aren't as sufficiently rolled as him (if it is the case that he has a tremendous amount of money). It's awesome when people have the stones to call him!
@@danradke98275 you're wrong. He bullies absolutely nobody. He is literally one of the worst poker players on earth. There's a way to be a big loose aggressive loser but still make other players sweat. It sure as hell isn't what he does. Looks like he learned the rules 10 minutes ago and got bored of playing already.
They're going on the assumption that everyone that comes to this game is a good guy and would never have any bad intentions. That sets the perfect stage for a criminal to come in and do whatever the fuck he wants.
We all knew this would happen at some point, guy is hard to play against cause he's the opposite of scared money. But when people figured out he plays so much garbage.... you're done for.
its so funny: everyone else at the table knows exactly how fishy his play was but they keep their mouth shut to make him stay and blast even more money off. they just look at him and pray they will catch him in a hand later.
“He might be ahead” and “that’s where I hoped you were at” aren’t mutually exclusive. He can shove expecting a flush draw to fold and also (justifiably) expect to be behind when called.
Alex Duvall's channel is the best on youtube for poker content. I don't have time anymore to watch all these streams or long twitter/twoplustwo threads. Always get a nicely edited summary here 👍
Taras has substantially upped his game and studied. He played the man and made some difficult calls against the maniac. He's still not the best person at the table, but he isn't blasting off losing his stacks as often as he used to.
It's interesting seeing the hands in consecutive order. I saw the last hand early on and it was confusing but with the hand history, it makes more sense.
This gets lost after Tesla punted off anyway, but Taras just flatting the 3bet vs Tesla is criminally bad. Tesla was playing so crazy at that point that I don't think you need to worry about keeping his range wide when he's calling a 4b a vast majority of the time. You have a monster vs a guy with no fold button, increase the pot ASAP.
I thought I overplayed QQ with the same action with a whole $1000. I learned my lesson then. As for Tesla and AA that last hand, you only beat KK or a bluff.
Why do they have security swipe you with a metal detector after going to the bathroom? And what's she going to do if there's a problem? If you need security, then hire security.
I assume this guy wants everyone to call him “Tesla” cause he made his money on Tesla stock? Or he owns a tesla fleet??🤔 There is something about a man in his mid 40s having a nick name and feeling proud about it. Imo its childish.
There’s no way Tesla can continue playing at these stakes. He is so severely overmatched it’s not even funny. These are some serious pros and they will continue pick him apart. There’s just no way he has deep enough pockets to continue to throw away this type of dough.
There are some seriously rich people in this country. People would be shocked at how many have over 100 million and aren't even known. That's why most of us are working for peanuts. Even rich people rarely have millions in their bank account though, so the thought of him having to sell a property or stock to keep him in a game he is clearly the worst in will keep most rich people who haven't turned into degens from getting too deep.
@@D.D.-ud9zt Strikes me as odd that a person can have accunulated so much wealth, yet be so useless at gambling and have such a lack of awareness of ones own skills. Unless the money has been inherited. I guess I am just naive.
I am curious to know if Tesla is a net winner or net loser since showing up on Poker At The Lodge. My guess is Net Loser because he is such a loose aggressive player.
Tesla clearly is a bit of a baby. Like most who aren't actually v good. Any decent player wouldn't play with money they can't lose and don't take a loss like that. Wp Taras
The real question is "How much bankroll was Tesla have?" Just saying... losing $600k to some people isn't much... and $2500 to some people is devastating. Gambling is special like that... Unlike other addictions, losing your last $70 can be closing time with a horrible night sleep... While another guy playing the same game doesn't feel the pain after losing $800,000.
He strikes me as a rich businessman. Which sounds good, but unlike poker pros they rarely will have over a million or two that's easily accessible without selling stock or property.

Hearing Nik Airball say "take your time" is character development right there. He learned it the hard way, I can respect that.

not "play in" his game, more like "feed" his games.

What a poker player lied? That never happens...
He lied, and it's common when bluffs are caught, but it's also a tell. Anyone who's "embarrassed" at a poker table is a target.

He's playing with the money like he stole it or something.
So true, even Eric Pearson the casino owner, takes more time to think before punting
Tesla was the top winner the previous day so that wasn't a huge loss. In fact I believe that was the reason he got sloppy.
Tbh if he stole it I’d imagine he’d play more cautious
The last guy that played like this was stealing money and fled the country
@@3adly he owns this very casino?
This dude is pure entertainment.
Pure luck

Not my night guys 😂
😬
fuck me
😂 everybody knew this night was coming , from the way he’s been playing !
i swear the dude has never won a legit hand. Literally all of his winning sessions just come from pure suckouts
Taras is definitely improving as a poker player. He was playing more like Tesla when he first appeared on the Lodge.
Honestly impressive he didn't tilt after getting stacked so early. Dude just held strong
That trap witk KK was just beautiful
No criminal getting by that security guard
what i was thinking shit is a joke
@@maxbarrone1414 they are just checking for phones and other cheating devices, so its not like at the hustler
@@maxbarrone1414she’s their to scan for electronics that could be used for cheating. Don’t need a big bad man to hold a wand.

Sick analysis. They "figured out" he plays so much garbage 2 minutes after he sat down dipshit.
he's hard to play against the first 3 hands. after that u know exactly where u at. 2nd pair top kicker will be good
@@ikrenji8125 yeh, that was my point. Kind of whats happening to rampage atm.
You can criticize how bad Tesla plays, but he put solid guys like Taras and Poulk in very uncomfortable situations and that was great to watch !
its so funny: everyone else at the table knows exactly how fishy his play was but they keep their mouth shut to make him stay and blast even more money off. they just look at him and pray they will catch him in a hand later.
That's a whole lot of money to lose on one pair...
“He might be ahead” and “that’s where I hoped you were at” aren’t mutually exclusive. He can shove expecting a flush draw to fold and also (justifiably) expect to be behind when called.
Your commentary is spot on and funny 😂 thanks.
Nik and Tesla, 2 of the worst poker players I have ever seen.
Nikola Tesla
Taras has gotten a lot better but he’s been a maniac in older games
How can you be up 200k and then down 600k
Bulldogs up there too
Who are bankrolling these guys? Is it their own money or is someone else putting up the dough for these guys to punt for our amusement?
Nik has a habit of handling other people's chips.
He was a investment banker
Should give him the nickname chip diddler
Alex Duvall's channel is the best on youtube for poker content.
I don't have time anymore to watch all these streams or long twitter/twoplustwo threads. Always get a nicely edited summary here
👍
Tesla's been giving us a lot of content for real I appreciate his grind 😅
Every stream he’s on makes for like 20 videos lol
Nik giving Taras a high-five for tanking was pretty funny to me tho
Pro tip: Don't 4 bet top pair for value with stack to pot ratio of 13...
Had to be a 4b bluff. In most games KKs is a fold in that spot 😂. Not tonight sir
Yep. "It's not my night". If you immediately stack off with every top pair, it's never gonna be your night, buddy.
@@clickingbuttons4980way too many draws
Totally agree. Fold to anyone except tesla. Too much aggro till it make no sense @@clickingbuttons4980
Doug the kinda guy who likes to backseat drive
It’s his card room, what do you expect? He has an interest in seeing things go smoothly, naturally.
Before black friday, playing online poker was like playing 8 Teslas at once.
Eric Persson, Tesla and Airball. Must be great getting a game with those erratic guys
Probably the best stream from the lodge so far. What a rollercoaster
Taras has substantially upped his game and studied. He played the man and made some difficult calls against the maniac. He's still not the best person at the table, but he isn't blasting off losing his stacks as often as he used to.
Tesla is the guy that’s wanted in every game!
love the valuebluff logic; I think you're ahead - I knew I had you.
Tesla is playing like he own Tesla, Inc.
Tesla is the biggest fish out there. No skills
That was top three best cash games I've ever watched!
He can only be pissed off with himself
It's interesting seeing the hands in consecutive order. I saw the last hand early on and it was confusing but with the hand history, it makes more sense.
I try
Doug must be in heaven with all these rich people who couldn't beat a 1-2 game
Doug Polk looking like Tommy Vercetti
These Tesla swings are crazy 😮
He, Tesla, looks like my calculs tutor when I was in college.
Maybe it's him
Tesla can’t pass basic algebra. Just saying .
When Tesla says “the fuck you count” you could hear the upset in his voice. He’s broke.
Lmao Taras calling for an Ace the first hand for some reason
That cut to silence
“Not my night”
Currently living in a dark room, contemplating life. Broke, looking for the next dollar.
Tesla v Eric Persson would be a donkey fest fun watch!
Eric, Tesla and Airball is a massive whale table. Just beating top pair you can take the whole stack.
I love the teslas of the world
Never running it twice with this guy
I have seen a lot of Tesla's come and go
Teras has been running insanely hot for so long. Eventually it evens out.
What’s up with the security wand when they walk into the room?
45k views in 24 hours on a poker channel of only 16.3k subs is excellent mate
Well done!
Viffer vs Tesla heads up would be good poker
If you hate money and are looking for a way to get rid of it as quickly as possible, this video is a guide.
Wow 300k with top pair on the flop wow

He likes to mix it up
@@AlexDuvall but he left with 1 hat?
All hat , no cattle .

What do Tesla and Taras do?
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
Now correct me if I'm wrong... don't you think security should check them before they go into the room?
From Tesla to Toyota Tercel
He's not done..Tesla always comes back
Idk deleting twitter account pretty serious lol
@AlexDuvall OK you have a point...I guess will see in the future...
Audio is a little bit better, get it dialed in, broski.

Why do they have security swipe you with a metal detector after going to the bathroom? And what's she going to do if there's a problem? If you need security, then hire security.
It's not about physical security for weapons. It's an anti cheating measure for game security.
Big Bobby Hill deflated
How did tesla get his money .?
The comment of "FU count" was a reaction to Nik being so engaged in a pot that he has nothing to do with. I would be upset as well.
GT can learn from Taras how to stay classy when AA gets cracked.
holy crap
genuinely how is it legal to let this guy play this game lmao
I assume this guy wants everyone to call him “Tesla” cause he made his money on Tesla stock? Or he owns a tesla fleet??🤔
There is something about a man in his mid 40s having a nick name and feeling proud about it. Imo its childish.
Isn't Tesla from Tennessee?
What did tesla say during the end about the covered chips? Whats the fk u count?
I think he was just describing needing to count out his chips and being covered and basically being an FU to him for losing
So Viffer put a cowboy hat on and everyone started pretending he's a different person?
Bros gonna be at 100nl in no time

hes down

Apparently they're manually inserted into the display for some reason.
