Wow you actually got a commentator who knows about poker. Good on you lodge.

This guy Taras will call you with literally anything just hoping the bluff on the river will go through lol

Should be called airball n Polk chat show at the lodge

Dan with a backwards cowboy hat is killing me. 🤠

The Lodge Poker Room is the BEST LOOKING streaming poker room out of everyone!

On the left side of screen, players cards are too small to distinguish cloves and spades. Make them easier to tell apart.

Taras has some balls, you gotta give him that.

Nice value bet. Way to make that fish pay.

Does anyone know if Taras is Ukrainian? He has a somewhat popular Ukrainian name and it's pronounced TarAs (with the accent on the 2nd A not the first) some ppl just change the pronunciation of their names. Just curious I've never heard of this dude on the high stakes scene before these vids. This game is ridiculously deep

Yes, he is Ukranian.

@18:57 "jam or fold".... ?!?!?!?! There are zero versions of jam that ever make any sense in that spot. You're never getting worse to call, or better to fold. It's a money bonfire to jam there. The explanation highlights why poker is profitable. "Super puke here if you flat, check river, and Taras shoves on you". He's right. It is a tough spot on the river if you call and then face a river shove (or big bet as we later saw). People hate facing tough spots. Even the announcer proposes that rather than face another tough decision, KBM should make a bad decision here. Players hate tough decisions more than they hate losing money. This is why aggression pays. It's also why it pays to know the players who know that aggression pays and give them some rope. Chapter 2 of my book is pending release on an HCL stream where I flame Dave Tuchman for the way he says "tournament".

How much did Jungleman lose in this game? I don't think his lucky backwards cowboy hat worked this time.

It should have been an automatic call once he makes the turn call. If he is not willing to call the river when a blank comes, he should have been folding the turn.

Great call. LOL.

Not bad

Holy crap to hell with farming this season haha dude just retired lol 😂

Drinking the beverage is a huge tell! Why? Because nervousness make the throat dry and itchy! Most players don't catch that!

I wish we could turn off air balls mic

The title removes all the tension on whether Taras will call with AT or not. Ha!

I don’t think Tara’s could read a book the way he plays.

Dang was hoping new footage. This from live a week or two ago.. was hard to forget with Taras weird moves and the annoying dude with the cowboy hat trying to degrade everyone. (Mainly dude to his left)

Shame kbm wasn’t at all watching Taras. Tells for days. Two hands played to conclusion with him(one bluff/one with it) and that dude would be mine. Hmmmm

Yikes. Dylan folded KJo in the SB

I think Taras is a dangerous player, but he has some tells that KBM saw oops I guess not

Holy ffffk.,.,.,.,

I would off snapped for taking so long to bet

A10 easy fold on 50k bet…

What’s with the rapper-like names for these players? Has the gambling industry changed that much that there is no one left like Phil, Doyle, Daniel, etc.? Now it’s Taras, KBM, KJo, etc. I guess high school kids love the make believe names.

Taras is just a foreign first name.

21:47 when you are drawing DEAD but cant get away from your bluff, and dont value the value of the chips, its NOT monopoly money, you can buy things, and pay bills with them, SMH he pulled it off BUT if you run into a better hand or the NUTS, you LOSE

Is Taras paid to punt?

Why call the turn and get good card on the river to only fold for 90k , he thinks he has a 3 fold on the turn he’s hoping he checks the river now he’s thinking like 2/5 player

good time to start accumulating hex for pulse chain

Frankly I can’t watch (especially listen) any more. The nonsense flapping of gums and forever time spent deciding, it’s worse than watching politicians!!!

I used to like the guy, but Doug ''Diarrhea of the Mouth'' Polk once again shows incredibly poor poker etiquette, by not shutting up when other players are involved in a huge pot. However, when Doug is in a hand, he is as quiet as a mouse.

So I think that micro stakes poker ($0.01/$0.02 $5 max) plays incredibly similar to super high stakes poker. No one cares about losing $5 over 10 minutes or 6 hours. In super high stakes, the richest feel the same. Anyone who cannot throw away $200k on one hand should not be at that table.

Taras bro just stop..... give your roll to a pro and let them grind it up for you

This game should have time clock. it is fucking boring takes forever

Off the bat, in order to highlight the gravitas of what I am about to say, I am probably the second most knowledgeable Poker player of all time - and I would be THE MOST knowledgeable were it not for the existence of 'The Font Of All Knowledge', the man who has had more 5 of a Kinds' than Doyle Brunson has had Pairs - you guessed it, the despicable Donald Trump. Why is it that Nik Airball, when he bluffs on the river and then gets called always has a look on his face, which his demeanour has the uncanny abilty to mirror, which says 'you had no reason to call' and therefore it must be rigged!!!! I have seen him do it a few times where he would be more willing to accept Donalds 5 of a Kind than the outrageous, insulting and unexplainable call someone makes!?!?!?!? Just for those Trump worshipers, it would probably be best that I make it clear that I am a 'being' (is that word OK - Woke people?) that drinks from the fountain of sarcasm, with the exception of the serious question I raised reagrding Llabria Kin.........to Trump. Sorry, simple question got lost in my insatiable appetite to talk in riddles and over complicate things like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson love to do. PS (oops, even I gave myself a telling off for taking the piss - bit late and rude of me to say 'post script') love you Yanks but a great deal of you seriously need to do the long overdue bouncing off the far left and far right walls and make your way back to flanking centre!

These clips are painful to watch due to all the obnoxious chatter by the people not in the hand. Hard to feel like there's any stakes no matter how much money is involved when you people talking about nonsense throughout the hand.

taras is terrible

Doug, please show more respect to other players during these big pots and be quiet when you’re not in the hand. The viewing experience is not great when you guys are loudly chirping and laughing about stuff completely unrelated as these guys are playing $100k+ pots. I’m convinced it also makes the tanking far worse because people can’t think with the distractions (the tanking is another big issue). You’re not the only player guilty of this, but as the owner of the room you set the tone and an example for the other players. Hustler doesn’t seem to have this issue at all especially in their bigger games. This stream has a bright future but can’t see myself watching regularly until these two issues improve
