2:22:00 GingerPkrDad was trying to have his stream catch up to see what you had to make sure you didn't have the higher straight. He called EXACTLY 4 minutes after you started that A4c hand. Gotta up your delay by a minute or two Doug!!!!
That's disgusting, if understandable. Opportunity makes for a thief etc. I never understand why poker streamers don't keep a good 20 minute delay on their stream.
@@Bzorlan Thank you for the laugh. I really thought this was a serious comment for a second, and I actually copied the streaming with a delay information to paste here, but then I realized that you must be trolling. You got me, it was having multiple ignorant things in your post, combined with when you posted it, that made me eventually realize you cannot be THAT oblivious. Especially when it was just a few keystrokes away. Anyway, if you weren't trolling, I am still laughing.

@Shawn Mendenall The feds don't give a shit about some dude selling dime bags, and unless it is a national security issue related to terrorism the feds cannot tap your phone for evidence via the Patriot Act. Well... Technically they can tap your phone, but it wouldn't go anywhere in court as the State's (or Federal) Attorney still needs probable cause to receive a warrant from a judge to authorize a tap in order for it to be used in a court of law for a drug case. Otherwise any evidence via a phone tap is thrown out in the court room. This changes if for example you were receiving your heroin from The Taliban or any state entity known to sanction terrorism or something. All of that is permissible.
Hey Dougie, fantastic stream man, thanks for publishing it, it's really useful. I've watched a lot of your videos, but this has been the moat useful for me. I learnt a lot of things just from watching you play and comparing that against what my own plays would have been. I learnt that you play the cards very well, whereas I have always played the situation and the people a lot more. You don't get tilted at all, even when an opponent sucks out against you. Great stuff. I'm unsure why your opening raise is always roughly 2.5x the BB, I'm always raising 3x to 4x the BB, maybe I'll lower that. I'm also unsure how you work out the percentages for certain plays (e.g. re-raises or all ins) in certain situations, but I shall work that out. Thanks again man, much appreciated.
He uses a randomizer for the percentages. If you mean how does he decide the actual percentage to use for a particular hand. I assume he is just making it up on the fly e.g. if he thinks he should be bluffing infrequently in a particular spot he might say to himself he will bluff 10% of the time and then runs his randomizer to see if he will bluff.
Also when you say he doesn't tilt, keep in mind he is almost playing play money compared to his usual stakes. Add to that he is being given donations which would pay for any losing sessions he has and finally he's unlikely to tilt while on a stream. That would not be a good look.
Hey Doug Please keep doing the hand analyis vids. Even if you're not playing poker as much any more, they're really really helpful and interesting. Many thanks
Hey Doug, you say its important to find the game type you are good at. I was wondering if you could make a video explaining the strategical differences of each game and maybe which play styles fit which game best.
This video is from May 2018. LoL. In the chat someone had mentioned "buy Lockheed Martin stock" to Doug. If Doug had listened and bought it the same day, after 2 years he would have made 40 dollars per share until now. So a 10,000 dollar investment would have gotten just about 32 shares. And those 32 shares would have made 1,132 bucks by now +/-. I don't think waiting 2 years to make 11 hundred bucks is good return on 10k investment. Unless you're putting in 100k or even 1mm, that's how you would have made real money. It takes MONEY to make money.
Hey Doug! First: really appreciate your hands discussion vids and this challenge. I am member of lab, also bought the elite cashgame mastery, but playing nl 50 and i have feeling this content dont applies to this stakes and is only really good for highstakes, for example the sb situations where applying mixed strategy is not working for these stakes, better to raise here , limping is also not so good here. Second: i am also doing bankroll challenge and also playing nl 50 on some site with good rakeback, your advice regarding playing mtts better then cash nowadays is also wrong brcause you can get down like 50-100 buyins without making ft and this would crush your bankroll. Imo its much better playing cash steady way and to get rakeback and to build bankroll this way, also mtts are taking like 7+ hours and cash you can play anytime you want! Gl
A very simple way to select the winner would be (would have been?) to do it programmatically. Select random month, random day, random hour, minute, etc. then find the tweet closest to that time. Anyone with programming expectations could do this.
I had an acquaintance kill themselves last year, just someone that I had talked to once or twice and I agree with Doug, I think it is less sad that someone has relieved themselves from misery than it is another person be taken out of life earlier than they wanted. metaphorically, imagine you have a roller coaster, 10 people are on this roller coaster and 1 is really frightened the shit out of by it, the staff stop the coaster and ask everyone to get off, the one who was shitting it has won in this situation, it is sad that they were scared of the ride, but it is more sad that the other 9 people didn't get to stay on the ride.
it's not less sad , a life lost is a life lost regardless if the person is in misery or not and the fact that a human being can get to a place where he sees only one way out is very sad, at least to me
thats what ive always lol'd about. if doug was broke or struggling for money do you really think he'd be playing micros or 2/4 online? the dude could get backed for millions
Fuck man this guy has adhd. Playing multiple tables, listening to music, reading out comments, talking constantly. I could do one of those things at once. That's it.
All the people going off about how it's rigged and why: You still can't seem to explain why, if all this is rigged, there have been boatloads of players who transition from online to live, and continue to be winning players. If it is truly rigged, there shouldn't be any long term winning players anywhere. Everyone should relatively float in and out of a variety of stakes from micro to high over a period of time fairly regardless of skill. But thats not the case. Theres a group of people who consistently win at every level and steadily get better, and theres consistently losing players at each level who are terrible and can just afford to buy into bigger games.
Doug, this was the video that made me realize I could become a winning poker player, your style of play during this session just made so much sense. Thank you!
Whoa whoa whoa in the upswing lab were told to either 3bet or fold from the small blind. And I see Doug flat with AJ in the SB vs BB in an unopened pot…
So I have a quick, stupid question. I wanna start playing some online poker but for small stakes, of course. My question is which site would you recommend? Something completely legit, no scams, user friendly and easy to get into a game. I'd appreciate it if you or someone would recommend me a site. Thanks.
Hey Doug, really enjoy your videos. Great content. Much apreciated. I thought about something. Have you ever considered naming this Polker hand?. I think it would fit very well, having in mind your name is very close to poker. Really liking your videos, man.
Thumb for your discourse on LBJ V MJ. Born in 1980 and MJ was a god. But the teams he played were terrible most of the time and his Bulls were pretty stacked from 1990. 2018 Cavs was the worst to make the finals since LBJ's Cavs that got swept by Spurs. Both of which were the two worst teams in the finals I've seen.
you're way off when you're talking about lebron vs jordan. name an aspect of the game lebron was better than jordan? was it defense?--hell no. was it shooting?--hell no. was it driving the lane?--hell no. about the only thing might be passing. not to mention the head games. jordan would destroy ppl w/some of the stuff he said.
Bovadas seeming more and more troublesome too, to me. I just started playing on it again to see if its changed, and in my opinion, its gotten worse. Ive never been drawn out on like that in a year of live play. Im certainly not whining, but I would stay away.
Serious question and I hope someone sees this, if this dude is a pro, and so good at poker (which his resume shows) why does he go against everything that he and other pros say, and bet on almost every hand he is dealt. Everyone always says to play tight, but everyone who says that plays 60-90% of the hands they are dealt
Drew Johnson The advice from pros to beginners is to play tight to begin with. As you progress you can start to expand your ranges. It’s an extremely complex game and if you play too wide you will get owned by more experienced players. You can however make money playing tight. It takes huge volume and patience tho. GL.
He has 4 tables open and shows the stream only the hands he plays so of course you see him playing a ton of hands. Also for beginner to intermediate playing TAG (tight aggressive) is preferable since you don't yet understand ranges and all the technicalities to "sometimes" 4-bet bluff 67s. Either you would bluff it way too much or just once and never again. Also, if your table is loose (which in micros it usually is) playing tight is a very potent strategy. The old saying goes "tight on loose tables loose on tight tables". Doug is not tight, but not overly loose either, he knows what he is doing but I don't suggest new player to emulate his play
When you talk about winning money from poker my opinion is similar, it really isn't your money so as long as you have your original bankroll it is all free to play with win or lose. Detach from it.
I am not accusing. But from a business perspective, to let fish win is very good for business. Fish tell fish. No skill required. I play 300/400 hands at a time. I see quads (0.168%) once/twice per session. 15 years ago, to promote the game, they let us watch Barry Greenstein play. We all saw how he repeatedly got sucked out. In one occasion, he said "Oh, I forgot this is xxxx."
Doug i have question, about the hand. I got AK(o, with K spade). Full ring, UTG was original raiser and it end with 4hand flop ( with only calls). I were in middle position and i called only because it was turbo tight player. And flop fall down AQ9 spade. original raiser raised pot size and only i called with flush nut draw. turn falled 3 heart and he raised again pot size ( so i assumed that he probably have trips or AQ). The question is should i fold with AK or all in ( cause i made the worst decision and only called - river offsuit he jam and i fold, if the spade would fall he would probably check and i wouldn't won more). As expierienced player as you, what is your process thinking about this decision. By the way zoom micro full ring cash game
Doug, love that you got some golf clubs! I think you will enjoy it. Just a word of advice, do NOT gamble on golf...I bet the old school guys know what I'm talking about. I bet you already know this too, but there are so many stories of great poker players going broke after taking up golf..lol. Just remember this, as good as YOU are at making money on the felt, there's a world of guys on the green that got rich breaking people with a million different hustles. If they want you to wager on golf, tell them to come play poker with you first! Lol
why did he rip the tens? assuming the player is standard they'll only be 3-betting premium hands. 16 combos ak +24 combos JJs+ so 60% of the time hes losing and 40% of the time he has a flip aka hes only making money 20% of the time. why would he not call there.
Doug's strategy seems to be to play with no notes, stats or adjustments, and basically try to be GTO...meanwhile his opponents seem not to be bluffing as often as he thinks, and the rake eats him up...so he's just a losing 50NL player. I actually think the rake makes these games essentially unbeatable anyway, but he could be losing less at least.
@@jpg7616 Without exploiting his opponent's leaks and being subject to the crazy rake, he just didn't win at 50NL and ended up switching to Omaha and playing crazy until he caught a good run and ran it up past that. Micro rake is beatable if you play against the worst people and exploit them, but it's really really oppressive. Doug's challenge helped show that.
You're so tilted. You sound like me when I play. I'm so excited right when I start playing and then after an hour of not connecting to very many flops and a bunch of aggro three betters these days, I just get sick of it quick.
Hello Doug, I have a question in relation to the TT v AK hand at around 35 mins. When we 3b AKo and villian shoves a range of TT+ AK then calling the shove with AKo loses 2bb per hand. Does that mean we should fold or do we call because losing 2bb/hand is less than losing 9bb/hand when we 3b fold?
Is your equity calculator showing it from the point of decision or from the equity in the hand overall? If that decision loses 2bb/hand then no we shouldn't do that. That's 200bb/100. But if it says that the hand is -2bb then yes, your decision is +7bb/hand (you lose 2 instead of 9). So I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to get off my phone and boot up equilabs and do the work myself.
If you fold AK anyone will instant profit jams preflop, that being said, if villains are only putting the money in with Aces you should never call ace king. You have to do MDF/breakeven math from every point to every other point. E.g. Open range; 3 bet; 4 bet; and etc. The formulas for multi variable fold equity calcs are found in the book "Quantum Poker".
Doug.. you stress varying play. Why don't you vary the size of your opening raises? Wouldn't that make you more unpredictable? I can see that stressing the other player more because they don't know if 6x bet means AA or 45 suited or the say with a 2x bet means AK or A5.
@Pot Committed yeah but in that situation, villain has way more hands that he is just going to check behind. youve basically gotten all value he's going to VPIP by the turn, so you might as well bet for value on the river and hope he can't get rid of top pair or something. Plus you can use that as a good spot to balance out with some bluffs
I don't understand how Doug is up to 1300$ from 100$ at this point playing the way he's playing. Is it me or does he seem to play a little...... Maniacal?
I got a staff member of grovesnor casino cards are fair but weighted in favour of draws and big cards , the call was recorded and later the boss called up insisting it want true, they get round it by saying it's fair, that's all the gambling rules cares about
its kool to see someone as rich as yourself to come down to $0.25/$0.50 given me a few ideas on how to better my game but what wanted to ask is you you dont enter tornaments anymore would you well something around those linez would you enter if it ment beating Daniel Negreanu??
cause 44-22 being part of his SB flatting range weakens the range, and is a marginal winner at best 55 at least blocks A5s, 65s, 54s, hands players use as polarized 3-bets If he was BB, he'd call every time (no threat of squeeze and better pot odds, plus the BB defense range is wayyy wider than the SB flat range)

Not by playing high stakes poker. Lets all go deposit $100 into poker ... come on guys .. Doug's got the perfect starts ... he can help us make it to $100,000 too !. We can do it !
In order to be balanced with his value bets and bluffs, he has to bluff with some hands. If he never bluffs then his opponent could just always fold hands that don’t beat value bets. When he calls flop then bets big on the turn, a hand like 76 of clubs is one of the weakest hands he could ever have. If he doesn’t bluff with that hand on the river, he just doesn’t have any bluffs in his range at all. The range he gets to to the river with is a bunch of trips, boats, missed flush draws, and a few flushes. The trips mostly won’t shove and the boats will mix between shoving and checking to trap. The flushes will mostly shove. So he has maybe 10-20% of his range that wants to shove for value. Since his shove on the river is about a pot sized bet, his opponent would have to risk 1 pot to win 2 pots by calling, so he’s getting 2 to 1 odds to call. In order to make his bluffcatchers indifferent to calling (and thus making your range perfectly balanced), your shoving range should have 1 bluff for every 2 value bets. Usually you want to pick your bluffs from the bottom of your range, because these hands have an expected value of 0 additional chips if they check, so bluffing only has to outperform 0, while stronger hands have some expected value from occasionally winning when they check, so they have to have an EV much higher than 0 when bluffing. 76 will clearly never win if it checks, so it’s a good bluffing candidate. A hand like KQ of clubs beats a lot of missed draws, so it doesn’t have to bluff. If Doug’s value range when shoving represents 20% of his entire range on the river, he needs to pick about 10% of his range to bluff with. If 30% of his entire range is missed flush draws, then he only has to use the worst third of that range. So he could bluff with maybe 10-high or worse and give up higher flush draws.

That country would be Pakistan 🇵🇰. I would imagine “Clembutt” is Pakistani.
Makes sense somehow
Great to revisit this stream.
hey doug, which warcraft race did you used to play with?
“As usual bitcoin paying off” line of the stream.
Serious question and I hope someone sees this, if this dude is a pro, and so good at poker (which his resume shows) why does he go against everything that he and other pros say, and bet on almost every hand he is dealt. Everyone always says to play tight, but everyone who says that plays 60-90% of the hands they are dealt
Drew Johnson
The advice from pros to beginners is to play tight to begin with. As you progress you can start to expand your ranges. It’s an extremely complex game and if you play too wide you will get owned by more experienced players. You can however make money playing tight. It takes huge volume and patience tho. GL.
He has 4 tables open and shows the stream only the hands he plays so of course you see him playing a ton of hands.
Also for beginner to intermediate playing TAG (tight aggressive) is preferable since you don't yet understand ranges and all the technicalities to "sometimes" 4-bet bluff 67s. Either you would bluff it way too much or just once and never again.
Also, if your table is loose (which in micros it usually is) playing tight is a very potent strategy. The old saying goes "tight on loose tables loose on tight tables".
Doug is not tight, but not overly loose either, he knows what he is doing but I don't suggest new player to emulate his play
@@MK-13337 this is bullshit, and I will prove it.
@@MK-13337 yup, checks out. Its bullshit.
@@Ewochable Then prove it 😂
45:20 how does he not raise with the boat after bet call????
why does he play 6-max?
When you talk about winning money from poker my opinion is similar, it really isn't your money so as long as you have your original bankroll it is all free to play with win or lose. Detach from it.
what is the site u r playing?
What happened to all the GTO 😂 honestly 0.25/0.50 looks harder than 1000/2000 😂
man you made some really great plays. I feel like this is the best learning experience; awesome!

Facts
I am not accusing. But from a business perspective, to let fish win is very good for business. Fish tell fish. No skill required.
I play 300/400 hands at a time. I see quads (0.168%) once/twice per session.
15 years ago, to promote the game, they let us watch Barry Greenstein play. We all saw how he repeatedly got sucked out. In one occasion, he said "Oh, I forgot this is xxxx."
Doug i have question, about the hand. I got AK(o, with K spade). Full ring, UTG was original raiser and it end with 4hand flop ( with only calls). I were in middle position and i called only because it was turbo tight player. And flop fall down AQ9 spade. original raiser raised pot size and only i called with flush nut draw. turn falled 3 heart and he raised again pot size ( so i assumed that he probably have trips or AQ). The question is should i fold with AK or all in ( cause i made the worst decision and only called - river offsuit he jam and i fold, if the spade would fall he would probably check and i wouldn't won more). As expierienced player as you, what is your process thinking about this decision. By the way zoom micro full ring cash game
shove the flop
Agreed^ chance he has AQ is real low, I'd assume you're going to win there unless he raises you huge.
Doug, love that you got some golf clubs! I think you will enjoy it. Just a word of advice, do NOT gamble on golf...I bet the old school guys know what I'm talking about. I bet you already know this too, but there are so many stories of great poker players going broke after taking up golf..lol. Just remember this, as good as YOU are at making money on the felt, there's a world of guys on the green that got rich breaking people with a million different hustles. If they want you to wager on golf, tell them to come play poker with you first! Lol
What website is he playing on?
what clubs did you buy doug ?
why did he rip the tens? assuming the player is standard they'll only be 3-betting premium hands. 16 combos ak +24 combos JJs+ so 60% of the time hes losing and 40% of the time he has a flip aka hes only making money 20% of the time. why would he not call there.
Scoops on and Doug is playing 25c-50c on wsop! You beast it bro looool
If you never win flips... but you still make money at poker... just never go all-in and you'll print endless money... perfect logic
Came to learn how to dominate $0.25/$0.50. Ended up learning how to lose $85.00 in 3 hours! I can lose $85.00 in less than 3 hours already.
Doug's strategy seems to be to play with no notes, stats or adjustments, and basically try to be GTO...meanwhile his opponents seem not to be bluffing as often as he thinks, and the rake eats him up...so he's just a losing 50NL player. I actually think the rake makes these games essentially unbeatable anyway, but he could be losing less at least.
Everett01 ... so he started with $100 was up to $1300 and you’re saying he’s just a losing player?
@@jpg7616 Without exploiting his opponent's leaks and being subject to the crazy rake, he just didn't win at 50NL and ended up switching to Omaha and playing crazy until he caught a good run and ran it up past that. Micro rake is beatable if you play against the worst people and exploit them, but it's really really oppressive. Doug's challenge helped show that.
You're so tilted. You sound like me when I play. I'm so excited right when I start playing and then after an hour of not connecting to very many flops and a bunch of aggro three betters these days, I just get sick of it quick.
what steakhouse in vegas does doug reccomend at 2:24:30 around?
Hello Doug, I have a question in relation to the TT v AK hand at around 35 mins. When we 3b AKo and villian shoves a range of TT+ AK then calling the shove with AKo loses 2bb per hand. Does that mean we should fold or do we call because losing 2bb/hand is less than losing 9bb/hand when we 3b fold?
Is your equity calculator showing it from the point of decision or from the equity in the hand overall?
If that decision loses 2bb/hand then no we shouldn't do that. That's 200bb/100. But if it says that the hand is -2bb then yes, your decision is +7bb/hand (you lose 2 instead of 9).
So I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to get off my phone and boot up equilabs and do the work myself.
If you fold AK anyone will instant profit jams preflop, that being said, if villains are only putting the money in with Aces you should never call ace king. You have to do MDF/breakeven math from every point to every other point. E.g. Open range; 3 bet; 4 bet; and etc. The formulas for multi variable fold equity calcs are found in the book "Quantum Poker".
Doug.. you stress varying play. Why don't you vary the size of your opening raises? Wouldn't that make you more unpredictable? I can see that stressing the other player more because they don't know if 6x bet means AA or 45 suited or the say with a 2x bet means AK or A5.
What's a good bank roll for playing 0.1/0.2 nl online for someone just starting out playing 4 days a week for 4 hours each day?
600 bucks works
Perplexed why he didn't bet with King high flush
greg jacobs I would say that was the most confusing part of the whole steam. I lost my mind when he check the river behind
@Pot Committed yeah but in that situation, villain has way more hands that he is just going to check behind. youve basically gotten all value he's going to VPIP by the turn, so you might as well bet for value on the river and hope he can't get rid of top pair or something. Plus you can use that as a good spot to balance out with some bluffs
He was scared of either ace high flush or straight flush. Straight flush smell all the way.
TwelfthRoot2 he was paranoid about straight flush
Bro you already said that 1 year ago. Glad you stay consistent in your judgement.
Made 1300 in fucking ads lmao. 13 in the first 20 minutes!?
Why is the footage cut up ? at 6:12 and it switches to a different hand 6:14 ??
Multitabling
Does ne1 know if there is a way to see your opponents whole cards after a hand on betonline?
There are a few websites that record EVERY hand played on websites like PokerStars.
What poker platform is he playing on?
The felt says WSOP.com
I don't understand how Doug is up to 1300$ from 100$ at this point playing the way he's playing.
Is it me or does he seem to play a little...... Maniacal?
I got a staff member of grovesnor casino cards are fair but weighted in favour of draws and big cards , the call was recorded and later the boss called up insisting it want true, they get round it by saying it's fair, that's all the gambling rules cares about
2:06 and 10 seconds. This dude must be watching the stream lol!
If you can talk for 3 hours straight and make it interesting, then you are on to something!
Jordan was one of the greatest scorers of all time. His career wasn’t long
Where can I find the last session of this challenge ? I wanna see it ❤️
Three decades?!?!?!?!? the internet hasnt been around that long!
its kool to see someone as rich as yourself to come down to $0.25/$0.50 given me a few ideas on how to better my game but what wanted to ask is you you dont enter tornaments anymore would you well something around those linez would you enter if it ment beating Daniel Negreanu??
Over the course of 3 decades? You sure your going to live that long.
Why did you fold the deuces at the 1:19:53 mark?
cause 44-22 being part of his SB flatting range weakens the range, and is a marginal winner at best
55 at least blocks A5s, 65s, 54s, hands players use as polarized 3-bets
If he was BB, he'd call every time (no threat of squeeze and better pot odds, plus the BB defense range is wayyy wider than the SB flat range)

bookmark 1:48:00
Can someone explain his rationale behind the bluff at 1:54:15 and why he says that if he doesn't bluff there he shouldn't bluff later?
In order to be balanced with his value bets and bluffs, he has to bluff with some hands. If he never bluffs then his opponent could just always fold hands that don’t beat value bets. When he calls flop then bets big on the turn, a hand like 76 of clubs is one of the weakest hands he could ever have. If he doesn’t bluff with that hand on the river, he just doesn’t have any bluffs in his range at all. The range he gets to to the river with is a bunch of trips, boats, missed flush draws, and a few flushes. The trips mostly won’t shove and the boats will mix between shoving and checking to trap. The flushes will mostly shove. So he has maybe 10-20% of his range that wants to shove for value.
Since his shove on the river is about a pot sized bet, his opponent would have to risk 1 pot to win 2 pots by calling, so he’s getting 2 to 1 odds to call. In order to make his bluffcatchers indifferent to calling (and thus making your range perfectly balanced), your shoving range should have 1 bluff for every 2 value bets. Usually you want to pick your bluffs from the bottom of your range, because these hands have an expected value of 0 additional chips if they check, so bluffing only has to outperform 0, while stronger hands have some expected value from occasionally winning when they check, so they have to have an EV much higher than 0 when bluffing. 76 will clearly never win if it checks, so it’s a good bluffing candidate. A hand like KQ of clubs beats a lot of missed draws, so it doesn’t have to bluff. If Doug’s value range when shoving represents 20% of his entire range on the river, he needs to pick about 10% of his range to bluff with. If 30% of his entire range is missed flush draws, then he only has to use the worst third of that range. So he could bluff with maybe 10-high or worse and give up higher flush draws.
Even the best go broke Doug. Keep your head champ! Hang in there and you still could be able to play some deep stacks this wsop.
Lol
