William Kassouf PSCYHES OUT Another Victim

- In honor of William Kassouf's victory in the high roller event of the last ever EPT, Doug breaks down another hand from his infamous run in the 2016 World Series of Poker. This time he is up against Valentin Vornicu, and the mind games (or "speech play") of Kassouf may actually be getting to Vornicu's head.
As always on Poker Hands, Doug breaks down each street of action and shares his thoughts on how each player made their decisions.

imagine saving up 10k to fulfill your lifes dream of playing in the main event and you spend all day sat next to thsi guy
Nine high like a boss...if you've got it you've got it....you call I'll call...how far is it to Hollywood?...blibbidditty blabble..blibbiddity doo... lol
He talks like a fruit loop.
You would probably lose your mind lol
The more someone talks the more info you have on him. I would like to play against him.
Imagine being so absorbed by money that you forget to have fun.
Waiting for a Kassouf vs Tony G battle! :-)
Tony G retired and is now a member of the european parliament. Best we can hope for is Kassouf vs Tony G's son (Tonka) :(
YES
he played in a cash game several months ago
Brett Sylvester
Really? Where? Was it televised? Would be fun to check it out
Master vs the student.
Doug, if you start releasing your videos when the night comes down where you live, you can change the name of the show to "Polker after dark".
Kassouff is one of my favorites, I love how he gets into the other player's heads. His tanking is more annoying than his talk, but that's the whole point, annoy and get people to call when they otherwise wouldn't or to get them to overthink and fold.
Great video. Thanks!
can't imagine playing at the same table with that dude, prolly just kill my self after 10minutes...(talking about him diving into the tank all the time...)
Check out Kassouf’s channel if you want to see him actually do some karaoke...he ain’t bad
Damn Doug, you lost some serious weight since then.
Kassouf vs Brunson.
New haircut
But ...
It helps to have a mediocre player like Vornicu in the hand.
name a worse hand on this flop? 7 2 off ;)
Doug these guys could have anything, you put them on hands with bs logics. You just get to see the cards. It's a diff story when you're playing you're really are off ALOT , theres a reason you do commentary more than you play. I'd like to see you commentating a game where you cant see the hole cards
He bet his privilege.
Still can't believe Benger got away with how he reacted to Will. Can't go calling someone an idiot at the table, just out of order.
Absolute backdoor burglar. I would've slapped the lips off him if I was at the table for making such a simp comment.
Like a boss.
Doug is younger than my grandson. He annoys the shit out of me. But, when I pay attention, I learn a lot. And I’ve been playing poker for two of Doug’s lifetimes! Thanks Doug!
I would of love to have seen him do this shit heads up for the bracelet.
"56.7 million....see where you are??"
He made it HU in this tourny I believe
Would HAVE/Would'VE
He finished 17th…KK against Benger’s AA
Nice to see 72 get there from time to time.
Had my first quads with 72o haha
Literally the only entertaining person in the entire tournament that year. My only complaint is he takes too long sometimes with obvious folding hands.
Actually, no, he doesn't need poker to work out. He's a lawyer
who would have guessed that a smooth talking bullshitter/cheat/liar was a lawyer
cardigan3000 cheater? Think.
Id pick hin as a lawyer for sure. Id also pick him as a fish at a table.
Then you'd be wrong, he isn't a fish.
cardigan3000 You picked 3 insults and 2 are the same insult. Weak showing, definitely the bottom of your range
Kasouf got quieter and slightly more toned down when he hit his draw. That’s his tell
...and got chatty again on river, just like when he was bluffing (as Doug mentioned too)
Maybe you've seen rounders and think that's how it is the the real world
Go play him then, I’m sure it’ll work.
More interesting players like Kassouf. Distracting your opponent by talking and making gestures should be allowed. It's damn funny.
+kkarx The guy has some moves
Agreed.

Doug please explain why do you say that there aren't many hands that Kasouf could be bluffing with here ?!
Isn't that the point of a bluff, to have nothing but to represent something strong ?!?
Why can't he bluff with something like a suited Ace ? Or an overpair ?
Or with something that missed the hand completely ?
I bluff with any 2 regardless of what's on the flop.
@@michaeltrumph121 bluffs shouldn't just always be random. You can bluff if you have blockers
Kassouf is an awesome player! He is the only hope for TV poker
Joke...joke...jopke...DONKEYS LIKE KASSOUF ALWAYS DRAW!-Phil Hellmuth
And how much got Hellmuth owned by Kassouf? :-D
People are going to stop watching poker if this asshole is playing. He is extremely annoying
yeah, that's why you just watched this video with Kassouf in it thus disproving your own point lol
John Smith rotfl, lol BUUUUUUUUUUURN
I really want to see Kassouf at the same table as Ivey.
Hahaha that would be insane
I have dealt for Kassouf 2 or 3 times and he made my job quite a bit more enjoyable.
Will Kassouf, like Isildur1, is a clickbait for me right now! :D
Kassouf obviously got the better of Vornicu here with the classic 72. Kind of funny hand.
Hi everyone? Where is possible to see those wpt main event episodes?
I canno't find anymore on youtube... Thanks
He deserved it!!!!! Makes poker fun. Amarillo Slim & Danny Robison did this for decades
Kassouf regarding his ept win & this pot
Marty Masters he is awful and needs to get his ass kicked
You should call these Polker Hands.
I doubt anyone has recommended that before. I'm a genius
DAMN SON...NOT 1 CLAP....EAST COAST AINT GOT NO LOVE FOR SNOOP?
I wasn't trying to say "Psyched Out" (past tense), I was trying to say "Psyches Out"(present tense)
Can you do a video on facing a button straddle in live cash games and how it should affect hand ranges, bet sizing and strategy pre and post flop? Thanks
Doesn't change the fact you spelt it wrong.
Jarod *you spelt it wrong
Jarod pretty ironic really
+DJ Poyo stop with the games Po Po
Hey Doug, can you have a section on GTO speech play in the poker lab?
I would probably need to do some range work on that myself to be able to correctly teach it
i'm currently trying to implement the triple range merge speech play into my live poker game. opponents aren't buying it so i think i need to move up in limits where opponents respect my speech play
PLEASE do the Poker Hand from Breaking Bad season 1!
you should check out something called K.A.S.S. Solver. it's good software that helps with optimal speech ranges
+Blake Long while on drugs, not happening
The tanking I don't rate, but the rest of Kassouf is great for poker
he actually never tanked that much. the table just ganged up on him and said he tanked to harass him
+ John Smith
Are you basing this on tv coverage? Because you know they edit it. They wouldn't show him tanking for 5 minutes every time.
I'm basing this on the fact that you can see on the WSOP coverage that the other players start calling for the clock before the customary 2 minutes just to needle him
Kassouf was also being harassed constantly by the other players when he was trying to make a decision
The other players were abusive and bullying and made up lies about him such as the excessive tanking
You really expect them to wait 2 minutes nearly every hand and play 10 hands per hour?
The players rarely had to wait 2 minutes for Kassouf to make a decision. The point is that he is entitled to 2 minutes just as everybody else is
The other players were bullying Kassouf and haranguing him after only 30 seconds which is completely out of line
The claims about Kassouf tanking were largely exaggerating and were for the most part just bullying attacks for the other players who all behaved appallingly during that tournament
loved this hand analysis, it sounds counterintuitive to check a straight on the river but its good and I find better to implement more pot control on spots when we are indifferent from betting or checking, specially in tournaments
4:06 Why not raise here instead in order to charge your opponent for his draws (whether it's two overs or straight draw)? We know that his range is unlikely to have a premium hand (like a mid to high pair) because he called from the SB. Our top pair is most likely gonna lose its title on the turn so why not protect it?
Bluff jamming river is pretty cool, seems better than calling
Yeah, that would have shut him up good. haha
But it seems Vornicu isn't really thinking on that level.
i really love this low boards and limped pot.they are exciting
mate Nd balanced the range of the type of hands he has covered. A good Mtt blind vs blind battle
I wonder if his theatrics work against someone like Helmuth or Negreanu.
His theatrics only work against people who talk back. Don't talk back and his theatrics are useless.
His theatrics wouldn't even work against a weak-minded idiot if the idiot just kept his mouth shut.
i was really hoping Mr 6 8 would shove and the other guy would fold.
Hey bro, here is my comment :D Kassouf is great for poker, call, call call, call
Doug what about all-in on river for Vornicu with 65, 66 and 87 blocker to fold out a straight?
I luv this guy 💙 Will K., why all the negativity towards him I just don't get. Congrates Will.
I think he would be fun to play with.
Is simply folding the 7-2 in the sb not even on option preflop there??
No because this is late level
Ante + small blind + big blind
Are very valuable to steal or defend
And because Nobody raise this " Pot "
You should raise 80 % of time in small blind !!
Because whatever your cards
You are putting presure on big blind !!
Only mistake here is just calling pre flop, with garbage hand ,
And to be totally Honest with you
The only moment you should consider à fold,
Its if you are short stack like 10 bb or less,
Or if you are near of the bubble place,
While I like Kassoufs talking, he is influencing the action and I don't think that is legal for this specific tournament.
Where is the 10k high roller event? I couldn't find it on the pokerstars channel.
Don't think it was covered
Damn. Kassouf is TV gold. Hopefully they recorded it.
I'll admit for predominantly online players, attempting to transition to a live game is difficult ,especially sweating out bluffs and or action...my respect to kassouf, someone who clearly would be unphased by the same paramenters (players talking, trying to gather info, you can't in an online game) - the final 30 players were basically all internet players of a new generation and he was badly ostracized for actually being a more well rounded poker player. Maybe minus the parts where his opponents let it go on too long because they were trying to get a read on him. He did use time, but he never was as excessive until his opponents were listening to him talk and then berating him for doing so. Just a joke in my opinion, he seemed to be the trickiest player I saw. If I was that chick I woula laid down my queens
@dougpolkpoker
I've commented on this before, but you're an MTT fish. First off, you've said a good strategy in the sb is "limp 100% and check flop...balanced", 72s is a perfect hand to limp. By the turn, MTT players will bet overpairs and top pair, 2p, etc, here. He doesn't need to simply have bluffs or straights. On the river, you're commenting about "being balanced." Being balanced in MTTs is about useless. Even you have said "table image is worthless...take everything you thought you knew about it and throw it away." Kassouf won't be in this spot against Vornicu 10 times, or even 5.
Anyone has a vod from the heads up at the high roller?
Kassouf needs to check his hairline. And his privilege of course.
kassouf just won a massive online tournament
I love Kassouf. People want to act as if poker is such a civilised game, where you sit in silence and act so 'respectfully' towards your opponent. It's horseshit - this is a brutal game where you're taking money from people. It's not civilised and the table should be as rowdy as the players want it to be. If someone can't handle it, they shouldn't be in poker.
Am i the only person who doesn't like Kassouf? Kassouf vs Brunson.
That One Guy trust me your not alone
This guy wouldn't,t last 5 mind in any private game, anybody would lay him out in uk , g_bs___e, let's see him try that against persson, antonius,Dean etc see how far he gets, let's uk down every time he opens his mouth !
Ummmmmm Doug there is one worse hand than 7,2 suited, its ummm 7,2 offsuit. Kassouf did not win the tourny, he took a deal which he negotated to be the tourny winner, despite being behind 4 to 1. Kassouf did not "win " this Tourny on the felt, he basically bought it.
Id really like to see Kassouf speechplayin Mike Dentale. :)
So sad about Table Talk not running any longer. Watched all the episodes and anticipated wednesdays
Kassouf is meh. He's just a person who likes to control the flow. Just tune him out without shutting down and doing nothing or break his flow by talking nonsense at him.
the more afraid or scared some folks are the more they will rattle on just watch an arrests viedo of d.u.i. they won't shut up.the dude is really scared a little and is pumping his opponents for info like Daniel n.
So as Kassouf do you check-call the river? Do you expect Vornicu to bluff here with anything? Or maybe value bet a 2 or trips?
Is it a good spot for Vornicu to shove? He's blocking full houses (though like you said, Kassouf can't really have a boat here) and 87, and he can credibly represent a full house like 65, 53, 54, or quads.
you could x/c river as Kassouf like Doug says. I wouldn't expect Vornicu to bet anything worse than a 7 when checked to however. After facing ~1/3 PSB from Kassouff, I do think that Vornicu has the right kind of hand to bluff-raise with OTR as his hand (86) blocks 87 as well. Vornicu could also bluff-raise with 52 but I think 86 is the right hand for the job. He likely should bluff-raise sometimes, perhaps call if calling with hands worse than a straight is necessary to stop your oponent from bluffing too profitably, and fold if his defense makes opponents bluffs too unprofitable. I could see Vornicu taking all three options as part of an optimal strat but its hard to be sure in limped pots since ranges are murky.
Sadly, Doug never answers serious questions. Only when you joke around or troll him with "polker hands".
Trias00 knowledge has a cost. he has upswing poker lab and gives away plenty of free content/information so I wouldn't hold it against him if I were you. You also want to keep all the best knowledge for yourself to maintain an edge I don't think this is hugely immoral since it's the only way to make poker a profession which is good for the game.
Trias00 Simple answer no vornicu's image is of one who pulls of big bluffs, he's known to be very agro from what i heard and kassouf has a big ego so he'd most likely talk himself in a call...as getting bluffed for him would be far worse than calling & running into a boat.
I hate when i get PSCYHED OUT!!! Kappa. Doug, Fix the spelling. psyched*
I would just change tables he’s beyond annoying talks through his teeth and a fast talker. Bets on anything not the best player and tries to beat you with his mouth.
People didn't realize how much love if was gonna get online, that's why they all acted the way they did.
I like the balance at the end, you had me exploited.
I do what I can
Kassouf is much quieter when he actually has a good hand. Pretty obvious... 🤔
SB vs BB you're advocating raising 72s? Yeah, there's antes in the pot, I get it. But this is a bit too wide (72s+ = 85% of hands). Against an aggressive, aware player, you're really opening yourself up to a lot of pressure, playing 3bet pots out of position with weak hands, etc. In tournaments with chip-value considerations in mind, this is a bit questionable.
I also hate limping here. People are doing this a lot these days, and I've been raising (or putting postflop pressure on) mercilessly when I'm the BB. Ever since people started doing this I've shown far bigger profits than I used to from the BB vs SB. I just cant understand how people think playing a wide range, passively, out of position, is going to be a good strategy.
You also say "[if you raise] you build a pot so if you flop a draw or hit a pair you can try to take it down postflop". I'm confused by this statement.
Players can still balance by limping their strong hands aswell and you're just going to get 3bet alot from the SB after raising. Most pro's aren't folding SB vs BB. Maybe Doug's a better player than you and you're playing wrong? Not sure, tell us your name donk and we'll compare Henden Mobs with you and Doug and check out your "far bigger profits" 😂
Tumble weed rolls by.
Kassouf is the boss!
Doug, could you do a review on his chop for his 1st place (2nd place finish) ?
how would William kassouf do in a MMA cage fight though??
Hey Doug, what are you gonna do with all those dudes in your bedroom?
1:44
Bad Play preflop by Vornicu and flop must 3bet vs lead
great content :D I was wondering how long does these episodes take you to film and edit. I haven't missed any vid for a month I think you make me enjoy poker even more. Cya tomorrow
Why don't the north Americans give him a bit of chat back.
river jam would've been quite sick by vornicu. if kassouf doesnt bet any of his trips on turn, he doesnt really have boats by the river. maybe 86 has too much showdown value to turn it into a bluff though.
Kare-dog But kassouf would likely crycall knowing his range is capped & vornicu's image doesn't help...he's known for big bluffs
Would you consider a shove on the river with the 8 blocker?
That was a true Polker move at the end, btw
You can consider a shove river
Not because you have the 8 to Block
Max straight ,
But because with tvat kind of bord texture ,
You would represent 8 7 , 6 5 , 5 7 , 6 6
4 4 , 5 5 , 3 5 , 4 5
And this is legit
With just checking pre flop on BB
But against a guy like kassouf
Who has hihg tendancy to over value his hand ....,
I'm not sure this is an EV+ move ,
Because if you think about it
Kassouf has the 8th best hand
Whatsoever ,
8 7 , 4 5 , 6 5 , 3 5 , 6 6 , 5 5 , 4 4 , 3 3
Sûre 3 3 ,4 4 ,5 5 ,6 6 are not an option because BIg blind just check pre flop
But should be carefull cause
This is a low straight
On a non friendly board !!
sweet vid really enjoyed it
i'm deaf no problem ! :D
Do you think this is a temporary stick and the pros will figure how to play this guy ? What is your opinion on this guy..
temporary? its been around for decades
This mans hairline is even trying to run from hearing him talk.
"9 high like a boss!"
I like the videos but u talk to much bro we can figure it out
I found out last night that "Bar Poker" is the best place to practice your speech play. There's really no rules like regulated play, you can drink and blurt out what u think about they other guys hand, maybe that will bring out some Hellmuth "white magic"
well, william kassouf's speech is good and influences vornicu to tilt, but, we shouldn't forget vornicu just lost a huge 13$M pot against Hallaert a few hands earlier by doing a very bad call, which surely made him tilt before the actual hand.
Part of me wants to watch a lot of Will Kassouf footage so I can better understand why he says what he does when, and maybe I can somehow down the line better understand speech play in general. The other half of me doesn't want to watch any Will Kassouf footage. He's far too strident for my liking. It's just generally an unpleasant experience.
Just let the hand play out doug you just drone on and on and you're not even funny
why are you even here then? You can find this hand somewhere else as well
Chez Belena I like poker I dislike smarmy wankers that think they're funny though
i agree, he's not funny at all. good poker analyzer though
how can the sun glasses and kasoufs rapping not be funny lool, I like doug's humor and edits are funny af
Doug is pretty funny Imo I like the kid
2021
It's tough for me to call Kassouf's EPT finish a victory, they made a deal heads up and Kassouf's opponent had a 4-1 chip advantage, Kassouf pretty much gave up a lot of money just so he could have the trophy and the "win." I mean yeah he technically won and is listed as the winner, but he didn't actually beat the dude. Just seems like a desperate attempt to increase his poker celebrity status.
Doug, is it too spewy for Vornicu to bluff-shove river over this bet when he has a 6 here? Is it too unrealistic to think Kassouf will fold enough better hands?
How much better is it to turn 3x and 4x into river bluffs? Or does it depend moreso on the fold equity in the stack sizes and the range Kassouf is displaying with this weak roughly 33% pot river bet?
Love the vids and I hope you get the chance to eventually answer even though the chances of that are pretty slim with how late I am to this comment section.
You think Kassouf will call if valentine shoves on the river? He got a 6 blocker, sure Kassouf might have a 5 as a blocker like 57 or 52 but his bet really seems like a straight and not a full house so maybe valentine can repp a full house here?
Hey Doug, what's the point of limiting your opponent's range? As in, "keeping some bluffs in his range." If he has a better hand than you, he is winning in the end regardless, and if he has a worse hand than you, you could get some value.
I fucking love Will. The way all these jerks ganged up on him was not only unfair, but was a poor display of ettiquitte.
Psyches is spelled wrong!
In all of these Kassouf vids he seems to have a very obvious tell of feigning weakness. Is this accurate? Or does he truly balance his table talk between strong and weak hands by always pretending to be weak?
Kassouf sounds like Stewie when he does that pitch raising thing where each phrase ends in an up inflection. Just irritating to no end.
first... GET YOUR COOKIE JARS OUT
I bet 10$ that doug and kassouf will be the best buddies in the future!
I love this guy, he’s tony g but worse
Would rather have a guy like him instead of all these new age poker geeks that are socially awkward , dont say a word at the tabld but tweet about their hands every 10 minutes
bamboozled
hey guys. forget the haters. he plays with his own money, and hes actualy a really good poker player. he probably made more profit than some of the final table players lol
