Even without the context of poker, this was an insightful and helpful discussion.
Completely agree. Gives great insights into mindset outside of poker.
for real. This relates to a lot of stuff I have learned from my life coach.
Doug: "Did we just become best friends?"
Garret: "yup"
Look like there's a lot of room for activities in garretts kitchen
So much space .
This was amazing, thank you for how open and genuine you two speak. I can’t express enough how insightful the entire conversation was. Thanks for doing this interview and giving your audience so much over the years 👊
Excellent video. I'll be watching this one more than once, especially after a bad sesh or a downswing.
I've watched Doug for many years so I feel like I know him, but it was cool to be able to get to know Garrett a little bit, I'm aware he's a beast of a poker player and very charismatic at the tables, but this interview gave me an insider's look at his personality which was very cool.... keep it up Doug, this new direction for your content is on the right track...
This freakin guy Doug appeared in my dream one night
But he doesn't know you 😮
This highlight real was fantastic. I love how self aware and genuine he is.
after seeing this vid i may actually check out the full pod(s) later - great work
Great stuff Doug love the format and the highlight real is 🔥🔥🔥
This the first Doug Polk video that I have ever watched and I loved it.
You guys are my top two all-time favorite players ever. Absolutely change my game
Same here. Surreal to see them talking
ER doc here. Loved the first part of this discussion talking about the mental aspect of dealing with a bad session. Hit home thinking back over many bad shifts this last year dealing with the pandemic. Thx guys. Awesome stuff.
The points made in this conversation extend beyond poker. Truly two people being honest.
It’s 3 days old
@@aidanmccabe1981 just like your cognition
Well done. Thanks for curating this content.
Great podcast Doug…great format and amazing guests. You are really good at making your show feel like an interesting conversation to be a part of.
Yes, He is doing a wonderful job with great guests
nice interview, two of the best
Thank you for this interview.. this is great and real and I appreciate the honesty and advise .
Thanks Doug for making content again
This was awesome. Thanks for the original content... can't get this from a 2/5 at the Bellagio. There's a place for that, sure, but this stuff? Gold.
Nice segment 👏. Tks for keeping it real.
Garrett and Doug are the elite at their poker games, which for the former is multiplayer NLH and the latter Heads Up NLH. I really enjoy watching both play and I have learned things as a viewer. Two of the greatest minds in poker, ever!
That was awesome, Doug.
Great interview, liked it very much
Great to see these two brilliant poker minds compare notes...
Honestly when I saw the title, I was not hoping it was a huge troll from Doug. Love watching Garrett play.
Hats off to garret man! What a great person and undoubtedly one of the best cash game players we will ever have a chance to watch for a long time. Thanks for this video Doug. Cheers 🍻
I love watching Garrett play. Thanks for this content.
Garrett is a great guy and a great player! Love the content Doug.
Winning players all know that you can't allow fear of losing to dictate all your play. This video spoke to me as I have had to overcome my own fears to become a more winning player myself. Sometimes it's hard to fold a good hand because you know in your gut that you don't have the best hand too. I like to think there's always another hand; I can wait for a better hand.
Great video. I can’t relate to the high stakes aspect but I feel like I know exactly what you’re talking about
2 of poker's GOATs sharing their thought processes, what's not to love?
This pod was pretty damn genuine...
preesh player👍
Great Interview.
Leaders empower others. Thank you Doug.
4:32 "great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ." great convo.
Garrett and andy is my favourite by far at live at the bike. Both beast both genius
Man I could listen to both you guys talk all day. Both great guys 👌🏼.
True words of wisdom from two legends of the game. Respect.
One of the all time greats. You learn life lessons with him.
Garrett leverages his relatively massive roll in spots where he feels like his opponents aren’t willing to risk their stack in the hand when he’s on a big draw and when he has the best hand, so he turns it into a guessing game and still gets action when he does have it because of this. He also seems to run like a god and hit whenever he needs to when he gets looked up.
His ranges are pretty standard despite the fact that he buys in very big (he always makes sure he has everyone else at the table covered). Some players who prefer playing at that stack depth do so because they want to really mix it up and widen their ranges and get creative, but the bottom of Garrett’s range will still only be small pocket pairs or suited connectors/1 hoppers, etc. even when playing super deep.
What makes Garrett so tough to beat are a combination of three things. The first being the fact that in poker, bankroll size can give anyone a HUGE edge if they know how to properly leverage it the way Garrett does. The second is how good Garrett always seems to run. And the third is that Garrett is still solid enough to find big folds in inflated pots when he feels like he’s beat.
I am amazed this comment has no replies..!!
@@utkarshpande6462 because he’s speakin straight facts
I agree with a lot of this but he is a loose aggressive player so his ranges are definitely not standard. He takes trash hands to the streets in position quite often.
Great interview. I 'liked' it very much.
glad i found this video. couple of my favorite players. garrett reminds me of antonius in his prime, minus bad press
Both u guys are awesome, I enjoyed this video 👍👍
Best Cg Player in the World and the best Pokeryoutuber in one podcast... Love it :)
2 GOAT's, 1 chat
"I feel like most of them, its just you destroying someones life" 😂 you the man Doug haha
Doug I agree 100% with your experience that losing hurts more when you don't play that much. You have to get in the regular losing-winning rythm to be ok with losses. It's really weird how strong that difference is. I think it's completely about how much you play, not an age thing or anything like that
Definitely. I found that with an increased sample (and healthy bankroll) I don't feel bad about losses. I honestly could care less about the dollar amount lost (at least at the typical live 2/5). I don't care about bad beats, coolers, etc. In fact, instances such as insane coolers make me smile (and even laugh). I just top-up and move on to the next hand. It doesn't phase me one bit.
The blaring exception to this would be if I happened to made an egregious error, or a series of errors during a given session. That is soul-destroying to me. Even if I end a session with a large win, I psychologically beat myself up on the drive home. I tell myself "I didn't deserve this". In large pots where I happen to stack someone, I even apologize if I believe I made an error where I just so happened to suck out (for instance). Which is undoubtedly ridiculous to do (especially because ime the majority of live 2/5 players happen to be absolute button-clicking fish), but I digress.
That was awesome, two great guys
two FANTASTIC playerrs. period.
I watched him a lot last year on Live at the Bicycle. He was really good.
Amazing story
He got a lot better studying solvers
@@Jeremy_the_bot lol
Awesome!!! Love the realness
I love how Garrett thinks. One of my favorite poker player of all time.
Doug luv the info. I’m a decent tourney player but my cash game is weak. When you played DG you were such a heavy favorite. Is there anywhere that ranks players ? I just don’t understand how Daniel is all time winning money leader but you were still such a favorite. Mahalo
Amazing I want more of Doug and garret
Two poker gods chatting about the game.
Love it!
I thought this said, two poker chads...
Wow. Garrett is wise. Excellent discussion.
Great one - would really like an episode with Lex Veldhuis!
Why is he such a big streamer with such low winnings?
I don’t know, but it is proof you can do it too!
As someone currently struggling with some depression, I really appreciate Garrett being so honest about his struggles. Part of depression is feeling isolated and alone, and knowing others are struggling is somehow encouraging, even though it probably shouldn't be, since others struggling just means more people are in pain.
I promise your pain is temporary, it will pass bro.
@@Tom-el7dp that's not how depression works
@@sinatra222 that's how it worked for me, at the time it felt like it lasted forever, then I moved, changed my environment, changed my diet and I was no longer depressed, and I wish someone would have told me those fealings were temporary when I was fealing them.
Maybe I should elaborate and say you need to make changes to your life in order to get rid of it, It wont just pass without you putting in effort, I quit my job and moved country and that worked for me. A lot of times though you don't need to make changes that are this big. But YOU DO NEED TO MAKE CHANGES.
@@sinatra222 depression is cringe, just decide you aren't depressed anymore and poof you won't. It's that simple. It's a choice.
I can relate to this, the other day I lost about $10 on WSOP Nevada and it is still hurting me until today. that was 5.5% of my bankroll.
It's all about dem frequencies and it takes heart
very valueable video
Hey Doug, thanks for the insightful content and congrats on the new poker room partnership. Pro tip if you ever want to start a room in Michigan the entire state would FLOCK to that room. Our style is similar to Texas just under the guise of a charity room format. Thanks for what you do for the game of poker!
Awesome video
My two favorite poker players. Garret I want to be more humble like u. Man U guys are the best
Garrett is my favorite poker player. Doug is a close 3rd.
Thank you. Wish I'd heard this 10 years ago.
One of my favorite players
He never gets owned because a) when he has the best hand it holds up. b) when he needs to make his hand, he does.
He never gets owned because he buys the hands he plays by over betting and when he short stacked he tops up should all start with the same and no buy ins till your out
Doug Polk please become best friend (or good) with GMan. Don’t ended up dissing each other please. I like both of you so much.
I like, really like Garret and like, am impressed with like, his career expecially his like, thought process.
“We’re a lot more similar *looks away*…”Garret and Doug about to be poker power boyfriends? Hahaha great video tho thanks guys
Lmao doug is so corny , wassup w the tanks he ain’t even swole
@@blueknight2787 u wear tanks if ur not swole...if u swole u wear t shirts so it dont look so showy
Bro dougs vibe has changed so much. He’s way more more chill
that was freaking amazing!!! I just got 4th in an acr 5k and i'm feeling blah....so hearing you guys talk about how to shift gears once finished and dealing with pain from mistakes...made a 53k one the other day jamming AKo in 200k sunday special aipf for 35bb 3b jamming like a donk, and TT calls, GG all by forgetting icm....so thanks Doug and Garrett for the amazing discussion, it really helped me out tonight!
How ironic that this video was recommended to me on this day of all days!! Holy cow 😄
Algorithms hot on Adelstein so you, like me clicked it. Not too surprising.
Brilliant!
Losing is so so difficult, especially when you're playing in a soft game with tons of money on the table. It helps to remind myself that even the best in the world get destroyed sometimes against total whales. That's part of the game.
Being aggressive totally turned my game around. Scared money can’t win.
I remember someone once told me, "If you're aggressive, there are two ways you can win the hand: have the better hand, or get your opponent to fold. If you're passive, there's only one way to win, it's to have the better hand and you have no control over that. If you want to be passive, you're better off playing Bingo." It changed my game forever.
Correction. The saying goes, "Scared Money make No Money"
100%! poker is just a game, and the chips are just how you keep score. you have to stop thinking of the chips as your money, but just as your points for the game. and you just need to make the best decisions to win the game.
Good interview just on an ethos of how to deal with spot failures in your life.
We all F up now and again. I like what he said, the healing process starts now, vs lying in bed feeling sorry for yourself.
what a great guy.
The bromance is real ♥️
Wesley did it recently, but still Garrett is just on another level 💯
I love that Doug just let’s him talk. It’s not about Doug
Doug: You're cute
Garret: No, you're cute.
Doug: Want to watch me do Karate?
Garret: Totally!
Two Goats
I def miss watching Garrett on LATB. One of the very few live streams I could sit and watch for hours. His charismatic disposition is just attractive and makes you wanna see how he does. Plus he’s just damn good.
You don’t mess with Hustlers Casino stream now? He’s on there frequently.
@@KO-zi2xf I don’t. Thanks for the heads up.
@@ApocalypseNowWithEli its way better than latb
Gman is my hero!
Take a drink every time Garrett says "like."
Unbearable
Im in the hospital after 3 min
Garrett Bunny
So I've watched 2 minutes, and I'm wondering if Garret is going to look at the camera for more than a few seconds of the entire interview? I will also add that as fellow poker player I admire how good he is, just find it distracting with his eye's going every where but at the camera.
i really like both T7 pictures xD
Wanna get good? Develop the urge to learn and don't play if you can't afford to lose. These 2 mindsets are critical in making the correct decision.
great minds look away when talking, its a visual of thinking and concentration. But the poker community knows GA runs pure and lucky. He earns it, he plays at a level most cant even understand.
Garretts and Doug Polks's T7 hands are totally different. Sure both are the J98 and 2nd nuts etc but the way they played out are totally different. Garretts fold is way more insane, I feel, than Doug's. Both are absurdly insane great folds and qualities of what makes of great world class players . But I would think Andy can show up here with JJ and 99. Also Garretts hand was heads up to flop where Doug's was multi-way on the flop.
Still remember when this guy was on survivor
Really good
Hi Doug!
Slc Utah. Everyone drives either 2 hours west to wendover Nevada or plays in underground house games. 100's and 100'a. There are no casinos or gambling Allowed in Utah but if you could figure out a cardroom it would be HUGE I garuntee it !!
Yes, on Survivor.
Garret is a very well articulated gentleman.
Its only like that he like says like like a lot.
He should write a book.
What a fkn video, good shit
No the real question is how can you be really good and RUN SO EFFING PURE lol... Garrett runs so good it's unbelievable
That was me and my best friend at Inn and Out every night. Who ever won the most $ that night or lost the least money had to pay. Let's just say he got comped EVERY day. He ate a small percent of my profits 📈.
