It is such a welcome relief to have polker hands back on a daily basis. Best channel for poker, IMO.
Yeah, I agree, best hand analysis videos on YT at the moment
this hand is a perfect example of non-generic hand range coaching bullshit, everyone plays so wide these days your raises are literally being called by almost any two these days at a full table - especially online unless you have a lot of history with the players, poker has gotten exponentially harder to dodge landmines, which is why a lot of these guys moved to coaching xD
Well he only is right now to cover his prop bet with Joey Ingram. Great to have though!
FINALLY!!! Agreed, thanks Doug!
A4s is an especially good 3-bet candidate pre-flop because of its removal effect. It blocks some of the strongest hands your opponent could have, like 43o.
I literally choked on my coffee when I got to the end of your comment - well played
Doug sign this guy up! Sign him up immediately, hes a blocker/removal genius!!!
I never seen someone play a hand that bad so well. 😂😂😂
Damn Cantu looks like he aged 10 years since 2009
@@erebus79 Whoosh
PARKOUR!!!!!!!!
Likely to be the case since 2009 was 10 years ago...
@@ravisheth4017 whoosh again, for the second time on this thread apparently
Nice lol
1c/2c plays recreated live on television for your entertainment.
I think Barry was going for value on each street here. 23o makes up a large portion of Cantu's BB squeezing range.
Arthur Zabronsky hahah
in that case the river he'd have been betting to get him off a chop XD
@@johns783 The 4 has the added equity of looking a bit like an ace at showdown.
you dont know how kickers work do you
@@codmott286 you realize that neither a 2 or 4 kicker would play on this board, right smarty?
The valuebluff at it's best :)
I think that this is just a value bet. Or do you think that Cantu would fold a better hand? If he would, then it is indeed a value bluff, but I don't think that he would fold a pair here.
there is no such thing as a valuebluff, you just didn't know what you were doing
yeahh Cantu was a little loosey goosey here
Triple range merge
Merge
"Matusow with nothing at all." Literally , since he folded pre-flop.
I like Ace-X suited, might get lucky with a flopped flush, or nearly so, turning Ace-4 suited into gold....; naturally, it would not have worked out for Mike, who got no diamonds on the flop. so his fold worked well...
Lol. I noticed that too.. guess even the “brightest and best” misspeak from time to time. Haha.
Good thing woods turned over his hand. I've seen guys muck when they get called in that situation.
Yeah... for a second I thought he was going to muck his hand!
Doubtful anybody would ever muck a pair there
George X if he got snapped off he may
seen it happen and the guy point into the muck wanting his hand back when shown the A high hero call lol
never ever in that spot for 8k after 6min tank u just nuck 2 pair..
Boy that was unlucky. Had the right read, and still lost.
Last week I had a buddy in my home game try to rep a flush on the turn (I had A4 suited and had just a pair of fours). I hero him and he turns over K7o for air and just binks a 7 on the river to win it. This crap happens at all levels.
Unlucky but the card could have easily been a 2 or a 7. Can't let them get there.
@@connman8d617 stunning and brave. what a hero
@@connman8d617 he still your buddy?
@@marcob2250 yeah
tbh in Cantu's shoes you'll have a ten pretty rarely after checking twice, and 77-99 block the straightdraws that you want your opponent to have, so AK without a club becomes one of the better bluffcatchers you can have (along with some rare random 5xs) - that of course if you dont take accidental valuebets into the consideration :)
yeah i mean u block K 10 and A10 too that might take the same line like check bet bet so i was thinking it was a good bluff catcher too, I think your right aswell about not having many tens at all because how often are u gonna 3 bet pre flop and not even bet turn after the action goes check check with a flush draw on board, I wonder tho if it kinda counter acts it tho blocking alot of high card combos because with the big 3 bet sizing preflop surely they are gonna be most peoples most likely bluffs in this spot for the average person(not for this pyscho obviously will prob bluff with whatever) because other then 78 what other bluffs do we have so i think its not bad to turn some overcard combos into bluffs
Agreed. I think its a super reasonable bluffcatch in general, and Barry is an especially good guy to bluffcatch against for obvious reasons
@@jordanLee768 i dont understand why your saying he blocks any 10's you could say that about any Ax Kx then right?
@@Mike-sl6vu well i mean it would be true lol, any kx and Ax dose block some tens and the best kind and only likely 10s too that will consider calling a 3 bet that size for most players
@@Mike-sl6vu keep in mind AK blocks K10 and A10 obviosuly so it has better blockers then just any random Ax and Kx
By far the best Poker Channel on RUclips! And, everything is Super High Quality!
Doug you're the best! Videos on the daily and it just keeps coming!
Cant-u just fold like everyone else
i love it when i see them get burnt like that, calling down 3 bullets with just Ace high...lol
Would have been hilarious if woods said you win. Cantu shows the AKhigh and woods realises and tables the 43 for the win.
He kinda did do that- he sheepishly (and more importantly, misleadingly) said "One pair" or something like that which could've actually made Cantu believe he had won, thinking Barry was jokingly using the two 6's on the board as the "one pair". Actually sorta equated to a slow roll due to that.
Love this stuff Doug, very much appreciated 🙏🏼. Your approach to the game and constant reminders to ask ourselves ab our range and how to proceed from there are some of the most valued portions of my poker study.
This hand is a great example! I can def see a more ‘live-oriented’ player just feeling like villains v range is so narrow given his heavy action that AK will be good a disproportionate amt. But when you make the point ab how many stronger hands to call hero will have than AK w his line, it does become clear we just don’t need to call here. So sick bc it almost takes the pressure of a bigg decision off us and instead our action is just a fn of our range! As a guy who learned and plays mostly live, this would have saved me $MM’s and MM’s of headaches lol. Thanks Doug!! Keep doin what you’re doin sir 😎
@0:20 It really brings some of us joy to see Mike looking genuinely happy there -- quite the rollercoaster ride of a life, but he has held on, and yet he never seems to get as much respect as a lot of the other degens from his "time"...
"Goddammit."
Sl3201 Xkxmx i cried lmaoo
best way to end it lmao!
Lol
Que isso?
😂 what did he expect?!?
Doug’s comedic relief around a game some people take way to seriously is a nice break! His advice and instruction are easy to digest for myself new to the game, and he is really funny and light while giving good information!
I feel like i really wanted analysis on the turn A high call :(. You come back to it on the river though. But like how to react to huge bets is an interesting subject
I was waiting for Woods to muck when Cantu called. LOL
"This is poker we're clicking buttons"
I am so happy these vids are back.
when you see your own comment watching reruns 😢
Is that what it's about now Doug, the lulz? I really enjoy your videos. Keep em coming!
When talking about your games vs Jungleman you mentioned that sometimes bluffs turned into value bets did it go something like this?
So many live tells! Anyone else pick them up?? Not going to ruin them here, though.
Don't tell anyone, I'm sure we all saw them XD
They're so blatant, not even worth mentioning, really
Woods’ face when he went all in looks like a guy who doesn’t want a call
Brilliant comment
@@koopa1231 Brilliant is a little strong, but yes, nice call back to the other vid.
The Doug Polk video will be right up after the Daniel Negreanu master class ad. Now that’s funny! LoL
5:02 Matusow folded pre, Doug.
Whoops
shame u didnt include clip after. woulda loved to see how everyone reacted
Now that was a golden moment! Still remember how much effort Ivey make to not burst laughing 😂
thank you for balancing your poker video range
This is why I stopped hero calling as much against fishy players. Sometimes you polarize them and all the draws missed, the board pairs, and you say they either have it or they don't. Then you call with a good Ace high and lose to pocket 55s for no reason.
@@davidblau1062 forgot to take your meds?
Hey Doug, when players at your table turn over hands like these, you first thought should be "thank God these guys are at my table", but then how do you alter your strategy to exploit their stacks over to you? Value raise Barry, make a hand and check for weakness? Overbet value against Cantu and hope to get called thin? What other things?
I had this weird feeling that the hand was gonna get even more ridiculous, and Barry was gonna muck once he got called, assuming he was no good.
Oh well.
Still a crazy hand.
What an absolutely sick cooler! I just hate it when my overcards to the board lose to a pair. Cantu really does just run the worst!
Doug, where should we play online? Since you don't recommend ACR. I can't access WSOP from California 🤔
Were do you play online in California ?

@@Adorn0_poker i play on ignition but that it?
@@Adorn0_poker Is it really that simple? Don't they care where your CC or bank account is? Just asking; I'd like to do it but I thought it wasn't that easy.
I'm just a new young poker player and I really appreciate the help from videos like these. To be honest still struggling with eating sandwiches which is my biggest poker leak but I'm still working at getting better.
Barry woods just out played the guy. He knows the Nit would bet AA - JJ on the flop. Good Semi - bluff on the turn. Great Ultra thin value on the river. Barry knows Cantu has AK or AQ and can make his hand looks like missed clubs or 87 suited.
You are a fucking idiot. He thought he was bluffing dumb ass. Ultra thin value lmao thanks for watching and thank you more for playing because mindsets like yours make this game profitable still.
He calls three streets with ace high and you call him a nit lmao you morons just throw words around
Thanks, Doug! Another good one, and by golly we've all been there, and done that! Mikey would have won ... :)
To be fair Cantu is heavily weighted towards Ax (40 combos i can think of) and has only like 10 (maybe 20 if he is balanced) pairs. I wonder whether Barry took that into account while bluffing that he needs less fold equity this way as it is a merge.
Has anyone seen Barry Woods and Pluribus in the same room? Checkmate.
Best comment in here. Sadly, most overlooked
Who is pluribus?
“Upper threshold flop” 😂😂
Thank you for all your videos man. I've learnt loads since I started watching. Like, everything you do at the poker table gives away information. You can't be all loosey goosey, having a sandwich
Link to table reaction / banter after hand anyone? :)
Glad Doug is back IN THE MIX.
I also stopped playing poker around the same time as Doug but all these new vids have me craving a return to the FELT.
Doug will we ever see the Chidwick J5 hand?
At the table I was very confident that Barry was bluffing and thought there was no chance Cantu was folding. I didn't imagine at the time that Barry would show up with a pair though and the reactions at the table were pretty great.
Can't believe Doug didn't mention the real celebrity at the table! Just saw your vlog from the Live! MUG, then saw you in Neeme's vlog, now in this video and in the comments! You're running the RUclips streets!
I feel like you could create an entirely separate channel just to analyze whatever the hell it is that Cantu is out there doing.
Love to see him get some of his own medicine for once. The main event hangover episodes of PAD were laughably bad, yet rewarded.
"Poker, poker, it's all skill,
Start with the worst hand and go uphill"
-Mike Matusow
This seems like a good board to exploitatively call down an over-bluffer. When the board is paired and the flush draw bricked out, I like the call-down. If I had a read on Woods that he's going to fire more often than he should be here, I'm calling with 100% of my bluff-catching range. I like Cantu's play overall. There's always the risk that you could accidentally lose when someone occasionally bluffs with the best hand, but more often than not they are going to check their showdown value. I like it a bit more when the board pairs a high card because now it's less likely they backed into the best hand, but I still probably make the play against an over-bluffer.
Bro seeing his face as he checks his AK and it starts to sink in that he just punted his money with A high LMFAO
You're mixing up your video coverage, but that's the same tank top.
These videos are my happy place
Polker Hands just keeping it real once again.."where's u and barrys brother heads up polker hand?" #legendary
Do you gamble with other casino games ?
Raising The Nuts rocking the FVRBL gear!
I just can't help myself but to look at a flop with offsuit 72. It's got to be the funniest hand you can win with, and the amount of times I would have actually won with it if only I had the balls to have a go is quite staggering. 43 is pretty funny though.
Is it possible that 43 guy put Cantu on Ace high as if he had a 10 or 6 he would’ve bet flop or turn? So knowing he could well have given the impression he was looking to steal with turn overbet, his river all in would look desperate and could be paid off by ace high? I know it’s a weird line but could it be considered a great read???
Hey Doug, are you going to try and comment on a hand without knowing what everyone has, except maybe one player that you announce before the flop, or before the hole cards are dealt you choose one player to play as your own?
AK seems like better call than 99 to me as you won't block bluff combos and both should have same showdown value. But funny value shove anyway :)
2:06 LUL hahahaha couldnt hold myself man!!! laughed soooo foking much!!!
I dont know why but I love watching you shit on everyone lol. Keep em coming!
Ended the video too soon. Would be nice to see everyone's reactions when Barry flipped over 34o for the win.
Mike had no reaction
Doug please comment on RUclips algorithm looking after you AFTER you stop making videos ? 😂😂 every single one of your old videos keeps popping up on my recommended haha
A bluff that turned into a value bet... happens to be best of us too ;)
I actually think Cantu's call is fine if he never or rarely checks an over pair or a 10 on the flop. He has nut no pair and blocks no natural bluffs. He also likely has enough worse missed draws on the river, and sometimes 88 or 99 that block bluffs, that he can fold those instead. Just kind of sick that Barry's value bluff game is so on point. As is his slowroll game by announcing 1 pair when he has two pair.
Barry woods is my new favorite player!!
Since Mike Matusow gave Mike Postle a forum to spin his egregious play during Stones Live, Matusow should do an episode where he compares Barry Woods' body language and reaction to those of Mike Postle's.
Barry's river jam in this hand is only a value bet if his crotch offers the most amazing live reads.
Doug is right. You can tell that the AK guy thought that buddy's first bet was a move. Play it out then the all in bet was a perfect bluff thinking what he thought.
Is Doug Polk 'Cage Fighting " now ?... 😅
Like Sam Soveral said on the previous PAD stream "Cantu is sending the chips in like they are not his" of course we all know Cantu is playing with his own money LOL
Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Tony G made plays like this consistently... even though that play isn’t standard, it worked out for him here. It could have very well been a rookie mistake that fell in his favor but he could have also had a solid read himself. Regardless, it was a Good hand.
You're the man Doug
@8:55 MAN it is tough to not scroll down for spoilers...
Am I crazy for thinking that this is value bettable? I do something like this maybe once a long session against a player that doesnt fold to my antics. Usually with something like 88 here.
Most definitely just a sick value bet from a OG
He is an awful player lol this wasn’t for value at all
Not only risk all in with pair 3 opponent call him with A HIGH LOL
Doug Polk is the greatest of all time and the best Poker channel on RUclips
So there is such a thing as a value bluff? I'm so confused. I'll see you on the next one.
I think that this is just a value bet. Or do you think that Cantu would fold a better hand?
@@srki22 yeah, i was digging on dnegs' master class commercial with the "value bluff" comment - more than likely a value bet, although with showdown value I'm almost always checking river in this spot if I'm Woods. Obvi Woods studied Doug's lasts video on live reads and ripped it in.
There was a David Benyamine hand on HSP where he managed to fold out the hand that beat him and get a worse hand to call with a sick bet.
All I think after this video is 'How do I not win more than I do?!?!'
This is a standard type of hand in the games I play in!
Either one works! Doug is the Best.
This is a normal type hand at 1/2 live game. I've seem some stuff
this is why i love cash games! anything can happen with the sick meta game! u'll never see this in a 100k sng or mtt!
I know DP is all about math and GTO, but this is a case where it's reasonable for Cantu to sniff out a bluff. He has a good bluff catcher, even though this time Woods was bluffing with one of the very few hands that still beats AK.
River was definitely a valuebet and I don't think I mind it. Don't think Cantu is checking back any 10x or 99 on flop especially vs a fish; He will want to knock woods off equity and be unconcerned with balance and protecting all his ranges. Even if he does have a few of those combos he shows up on river with at least 16 AK combos and likely 32 AK/AQ combos and after calling the huge turnbet I think he calls those on this river quite frequently. Not a GTO hand obviously but I think river was woods best played street by FAR (I dislike his turn sizing; you don't actually want to polarize your range here).
Pio also shows the EV of calling river with AK is higher than calling with 99 due to blocking A10/K10/A6 hands the IP player will shove river with. Although that is with the hand playing out more sanely with IP player also not getting to the river with this way / jamming one pair sub 10x hands.
I know it seems contradictory to like the shove while simultaneously saying PIO doesn't shove but exploitatively I think the play is good given how much more AK/AQ Cantu gets to the river with versus pio and how many fewer hands better than AK vs PIO that Cantu gets to the river with.
When you donk the turn you're kind of obliged to double-donk the river. The times the other guy is trapping with an overpair against the apparent fish is more than offset by the time he calls with AK type hands.
The only bet with those stacks is the push, you have to do it, cross your fingers and hope your overcards read was right.
cannot agree about river bet being value. that was definitely a bluff. woods was shoving river on any card.
“I call”
“God dammit”
g0alieman. if you have to think that long, Fold.
6:20 I hate how he looks at woods chips 👋🏻
This is why poker is fucked up nowdays!Doug thanks for the episode tho, always great to see you😎
Its always been like this... in fact the players are getting better every year. The play 10 years ago was like this all the time. The play 25 years ago was pretty much void of all strategy... but thats why you can make money playing poker. If everyone played perfectly, no one would win. Without the Barry Woods's, no one wins.
i DID GET A GOOD LAUGH. No bluff this time Doug. It really was ridiculous.
I was hoping he was going to muck the winning hand after being called :)
Where is the Master Class on how Negreanu regained his hairline?
It’s the segment that talks about “thinning value”
1:50 hate when players show a neighbor cards as folding. Poor ediquette by mikey
Just a good old valuebluff :)
Yeah there’s no such thing lol
that feeling must be lifechanging tho - to play one of the strongest hands wrong on every street (apart from pre) and lose your stack to 43o held by a guy who has no idea what he is doing :D
"I'm gonna look like a pro with my AK suited". Sees he has a pair of 33s. "Fuck".
It's funny because Cantu's read was so dead-on - unfortunately Barry "got there" on the River.
That’s gotta be the worst feeling loosing like that.
Many of the hands that beat ace high are, more than likely, not betting 4g on the turn. The way Woods plays the hand is suspect, especially with the busted flush draw on the river, and Cantu's call is more than understandable.
tomorrow?! My God Doug, pace yourself.
Welcome to the Bike Brandon.
Muffled God damn it, at the end lol
