Yup. So many of them "easily" call 1.5 million. Cuz "it was so obvious". I think it's great that there are so many multi millionaires watching poker hands like me on YT.

I feel like most people aren't going to bet AK or AQ preflop like that. I think that I would fold because only hands that bluff, generally are AXs of diamonds but value AA KK, A8s. Maybe there are some suited connectors for both value and bluffs also.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Doug this quiet this long at a table!😁

Anyone else notice Polk start to smirk when Wesley starts his nap.

Standard looking online play. Super agro preflop with Anna Kournikova (AK) and then 3 barrel a weak flop and board repping the AA or KK.

So yes, I would have threw the queens a long time ago. Even in the interview, Tom indirectly says that calling off 1500 BBs on just that pair of queens hinges on reckless.

You might want to edit your article about this hand for continuity. In your article, you state that Tom is holding AQ, which makes no sense at all given both the resultant play and the eventual outcome. I was so confused until you mentioned Tom’s pocket queens holding up.

Wesley has improved a ton at poker. He's a beast now, hats off to him

I drank like 3 beers watching this😂

For Wesley i think its okay to try these bluffs at these stakes. He can just buy back in. Rampage only had 1.5 buy ins, if he lost when he bluffed he was basically done. Think you need to look at that when bluffing.

if Doug was Not going to call....I believe that his comments about seeing Wesley's hand was totally inappropriate and greatly influenced TD's play whether he would ever acknowledge that or not....Doug's comments may have been well meaning but just wrong, IMO.

Durr is my favorite degen ever

I know u said u liked Wesleys sizing on the flop but I feel like a larger sizing wouldve made him look stronger and increased his chances of getting a fold. Betting 1/5ths just looks weak to me especially after reraising so much pre flop. Somebody with Aces here is almost always betting more and I know Wesley wouldve.

Tom probably figured he couldn't pass up the chance at the biggest pot in history and would be kicking himself forever if he'd folded and then found out he woulda won. He obviously has enough bankroll to cover it over and over, so while to you and I it seems a crazy risk, for Tom, it's not one he could really turn down.
