Is this the new Upswing course?

Cold deck for Doug! I'm sure he knows how to find an upswing, though!

Why did he bluff against Perkins with 2 pair? Weird bet in my opinion. Was he trying to get a 9 to fold? Just strange bet, guess maybe he was reacting to Perkins sizing and figured after an over bet a flush wouldn't only bet 12k on the river, I just don't know. Would love to hear his feedback on that one

Everyone loves to see Doug lose money

very late in this that's gotta be j.abdalla right at around 1:07:00 (start of doug's a10 off hand), crazy i know that voice almost entirely (and this well) from the upswing mixed games course only pretty much. also and this might not be 100% accurate (i didn't add up all the dead money in every pot, so if anything my est here is higher than what doug's shown to have lost in these 14 hands), i got in order each hand lost by doug: 50, 50, 54ish, 55ish, 60, 71, 60ish, 74, 76, 84, 85, 90.5, 129 and 230, which added together equals 1,168,500, pretty much exactly half the losses the title indicates. did they think nobody's notice that?

58:40 bill ask doug what he had, anybody get what he said ? it got a big chuckle .

Snap called the all in, knew something. The call on turn means he calling river after the the, "One time lie."

Doug should watch his poker tutorial videos

@oliverbarton7353

No rake in these games, so you can play a lot more hands. He's super deep vs crazy fish so can make some pretty speculative preflop plays and assume he has the skill edge post-flop to make them profitable. The nit game is often on, so you have to fight for pots way more, almost as though you're playing a tournament with increasing blinds. Finally, he has an image to maintain - he can't really be seen to just nit it up and bumhunt fish in live-streamed games in his own casino. Suicide bluffs vs drunk Taras = cost of doing business.

There’s no rake cause it would be illegal in Texas. Players pay a membership fee to be part of the club + they rent you your chair at the table by the hour.

Click bait should be illegal

Is this a cash game with their real money? Or like tournament pot chips?

Alex might be the single human running the furthest above EV in all of poker. Remarkable how often dude piles with napkins and remarkably gets there.

He does not need to be playing poker anymore.

chasing straights and flushes

The table talk on these tables is brutal. It's like a table of rich college boys with Daddy's money

That 8 10 off bluff though.

Doug's all-in with 10 7 vs Bill's flush will never make sense.

I think the lesson here is that Doug is more often than not completely unable to make reasonable laydowns. If there’s even a remote chance (in his mind) that he’s getting bluffed, he’s making the call. Never bluff him, and always go for max value. Printing money.

Moral of this video.... Always put max pressure on Doug with top pair. Never fold top pair to Doug. Plus EV

What about the "you don't need the cards, just the chips", or "you play your opponents, not your hands"?

I feel like Doug breaks even at the lodge between his losing n what the house makes

All poker players go broke at one time or another. Some get lucky and come back, some borrow from other players and come back, but most stay busted!

On hand 154, the commentator mentions Doug has no spades so he's likely to bluff.. is this because his opponent is more likely to have 2 spades and therefore a missed flush draw? TIA.

You can tell bills a nice guy by the way he double fists that extra small cup of tea😂😂

But but but the solver 🤣

lol at Doug making this to deter from the fact he’s up millions in the lodge games. Ain’t working on me!

The pots were totaled up to 2+ million, right? Meaning he didn’t lose 2 million if more than half the money in it wasn’t his.
