I like how people talk about blocking cards because you might have a card that blocks it but just remember there are 4 cards made for each card so you're only blocking it 25% of the time that's it so if your thought process is like that you won't make it far in poker I block this I block that's a stupid way of thinking

[@JonCookeBridge]

Part of Doug’s edge is his mental toughness. Clearly Owen is technically strong, but his head went down today and he just stopped fighting for pots towards the end. Doug was huge plus EV if they’d carried on. By the way, that 79dd v AK on 8TQ5 two diamond turn. Went check - 70% on he turn, called by Doug’s AK. Given neither a diamond nor a Jack give you a nutted hand v calls, is shoving turn a thing with this hand, balanced by shoving bottom set which also doesn’t like rivers much.

[@ifeelhalfnaked484]

it's an excuse that he's weak mentally. This guy probably plays more online and tables compared to duog, and he's young!

[@JonCookeBridge]

@@ifeelhalfnaked484 Just saying what I saw - his body slumped and he wasn’t playing as well at the end as at the beginning. I get what you are saying about volume online - he must regularly handle bad runs of cards to be successful there, so must have some ‘intrinsic’ mental toughness. Perhaps it comes down to experience live or perhaps he was tired - I expect handling pressure live requires practice in the live environment.

[@mbradycf]

Thanks for putting up with my nerd shit! looking forward to Doug's next match, whenever that may be.

[@Eric-tj3tg]

Here also for the nerd-knowledge. You're a good one Iron Mike!

[@JonCookeBridge]

@mbradycf Loved the commentary - thanks.

[@slickricklodge2950]

You were fantastic!!!

[@ifeelhalfnaked484]

I want the pocket jacks main event guy to challenge duog

[@Rubaduck]

not topping up and playing short stacked is a little rude, Something hellmuth would do.

[@jackbittker4249]

Not rude if it’s agreed upon! Maybe he doesn’t have the pockets to play 300k deep which is certainly understandable considering he’s 15 years old chill out

[@Fdanism]

@@jackbittker4249 did you just say he was 15 years old hahaha

[@Rubaduck]

@@jackbittker4249 there playing 200/400 dougs down and hes barely getting a chance to get even =RUDE

[@jluchette]

Hellmuth wouldn’t buy in for 100k against Doug, tho. He would get bodied and complain his way outta the Lodge in a few hours. D-Negs comes back to get some revenge from THE challenge? That’s a household poker name I wanna see take this action.

[@vinni522]

He kept at 100bb deep, it is fine. The only requirement was to start with 100k, which Owen did. He was obviously not on his A game, it’s the right move and he didn’t walk off / slow played his way too the agreed upon play hours.

[@kwolitek4785]

So glad that got rid of those blurry poker chip pictures, lodge is looking better every time 🙏

[@kwolitek4785]

Doug not taking that 8,3 of hearts money... class act. I'd be taking that lol

[@jdawg9931]

So he had no problem taking 200k from Doug on day 1, but after losing nearly all of it he decides to play short stacked and uses the tired excuse? Am I missing something here?

[@joshuapatrick682]

He is a young guy who was taking a shot against a multi millionaire. I am fine with it if Doug is.

[@pismyalias]

Owen is a coward who just ran away. Doug played the entire 8 hours yesterday, no matter how it went.

[@jluchette]

Doug was the same every day of the D-Negs challenge. He never called it quits.

[@davekoch317]

Are those huge chips or do both of them have tiny hands?

[@christhecop-dq7gj]

Great stream as usual..I’ve missed the chat to often lately due to a different work schedule ( temporarily) but I always watch 👍🏻

[@scrappy1859]

Enjoyable game over the 2 days 👌👍

[@anthoneyking6572]

Hiya the Lodge Great Game Just want to say how much I enjoy the Plays and the New Pictures are really Nice got to love old Pics of Places Thanks

[@williamfunggoldenoldiesfan6758]

OMG! I love heads up poker from the best poker masters!!! At this high level they can go for thin value on hands below the top pair level! Actually most beginners often check back second pair as they are scared of being called by top pair! In fact I have seen Doug sometimes make amazing value bets such as betting with just FOURTH PAIR! But in order to make that value bet, Doug must put the opponent on a busted straight draw but caught bottom pair on the river! And because that opponent checked their option that was the clue of smelling the bottom pair being made on the river! And of course betting small is the way to go as of course you want the bottom pair to bluff catch you and call instead of folding!!!

[@cuenlozoyasigfrido5073]

These guys that challenge Doug dont understand how good he is... probably the best in the world...

[@paulkruger7934]

great match, great fight from Owen playing with almost no sleep, good sportsmanship and nice comeback from Doug

[@herpusvonclustus456]

from out of no where I am absolutely obsessed with this Owen guy. as someone who's just a poker pleb, im blown away at how he has the confidence (dont care about bank roll) to come out here and not only play Doug, but mathematically make incredible decision. if the poker community allows him, he could be a new who's who of the poker world. I'll never forget this guy for sure. I hope he doesnt fade back into online only irrelevancy

[@joebob4609]

I get it he was tired. I think keeping it ~100bb was ( fair) although seemed weak sauce. But quitting early should have a penalty.

[@kobes4435]

You are up overall and basically free rolling yet you quit. Some never

[@vinni522]

Doug is world class and one of his best attributes is being able to play long hours and maintain near his A game. Also he has soooo much experience playing against all types of opponents, and he can make accurate adjustments. Playing Doug over long sessions is not good for your bank roll.

[@JonCookeBridge]

I’d love to be a fly on the wall during Doug’s between session reviews with his coach. I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of work done overnight to find exploits and tendencies.

[@TLJ13]

It was very obvious this match was not going to be played upon the given time allotted. Owen wanted to leave as a winner. You can't blame the guy.

[@runningrock124]

no sleep is an excuse. adjust the format/day, i would have taken the full bet.

[@ebfeldscher]

It would be great to have a 10 second forward for people watching post play as they wouldn't have to watch time just thinking about a hand. It would turn 4 hours into under 3!

[@cuenlozoyasigfrido5073]

That suit and color mistake happened to me once... thought i had spades and was a trick of my mind I had hearts... I did recheck on the river though and surrender

[@Moneyovertruth]

Hyped for this match more then any so far. No clue who this guy is but if he could repeat yesterday would be awesome to see

[@blaiseeltine9516]

wow.. walked away. wondering if there will be some new engagement rules for the next one. irt topping off, small buys.. Doug a gracious host but still seemed a lil noyd about it, ground it down, a few times to make his point.

[@abadhyamalhotra4255]

In all these matches, Doug has killed the 2nd day, and of course he would kill it in the long run. Dude showing he is a clutch player

[@philipmorse-fortier5499]

If he got NO sleep, he definitely could have miss seen the color, and hearts vs spades is a similar shape. I've had times when colors look wrong when sleep deprived. Hope he's feeling better soon.

[@nickmoore2197]

Not a huge fan that he stopped playing.

[@doomtroupe]

Seemed like he was gonna keep losing so I dont blame him. Either look lame or lose big amounts of money

[@sk8hillzz]

@@doomtroupe ehh, don't agree to the time if you truly don't want to keep it. They should have still been playing for another hour.

[@JonCookeBridge]

@@sk8hillzz Ask for a refund on what you paid to watch!

[@marvinli1589]

There's no shame in tapping out

[@blaiseeltine9516]

so Owen up from day before but not topping off his chips?

[@blaiseeltine9516]

Owen should have just headed straight to the airport after the first night. said thanks, I'm out.

[@ScrapforJesus]

Watching in Mi.

[@Miumiu0923]

83s call？ wtf？

[@TimHowell1985]

I don't blame Owen, he def was not right. Even though he was getting all the cards yesterday, he was not making mistakes. Today he was making tons of mistakes. That being said, there should be a penalty for quitting early held in escrow.

[@nufclatestnewschannel4714]

Biggest mistake noT topping up back to 100k. Pressure piled on.

[@TimHowell1985]

@@nufclatestnewschannel4714 my guess is Owen was most studied/comfortable at 100BB. He was really good day 1 so I do think he was not in his game day 2. But clearly playing above his bankroll, at least 250BB.

[@sk8hillzz]

this dude owen wanted to 100% ensure he took a win hence these lame small rebuys

[@ChrisM-wv4gs]

pulling crap like that he may have a difficult time being invited to many more live streams
