Doug Polk Attempts A HUGE BLUFF in $150,000 Pot

Doug played REALLY tight last night, so he had the perfect image to pull this off. I cannot fault Ryusuke for making that fold. It's very likely your opponent is barreling with something much better than just top pair here... If you're playing 1/3 and you fold that, it's a bit of an iffy move. But if you're playing these high stakes and the guy is triple barreling HARD, it's not an easy call.

AK had 29.2% odds for the river bet to be correct, its a call.

When that 3 came on the river I was sure he was going to call. That’s the type of card you pray for once calling the turn.

[@Dylan-vm4gl]

Nice line by Doug. 3 combos of 99, 3 combos of QQ, 4 combos of JTs, 3 combos of KQ, 3 combos of KK. There aren’t too many bluffs unless he’s 3betting AJo and A10o and triple barrel all combos. I think he 3bets AJs and A10s. That’s 8 combos of bluffs vs 13 value if you’re Rysk (since you block K.) It’s a call getting those odds, 8/8+13 = 38% and he only needs 33%. Especially if Doug is ever turning a hand like QTs and QJs into a bleff

[@geovanni.falconi]

What about missed club draws? I suppose since ryusuke holds Ac that does block a lot of Doug's missed flush draws but from Doug's perspective he would follow a similar line with AJc and ATc

[@awarebear7938]

When Julie folded the J10 I'm thinking why... you opened it and you're closing the action. Wtf Julie....

[@loose4bet]

She raised from early position so the 3bet looks kinda strong and R cold calling out off position is almost certainly way ahead of JTo which is pretty weak for a 3 way 3bet pot. This hand has poor playability, most of the time you hold a 2nd pair with mediocre kicker by the river. It may be close but definitely not a wtf play.

[@tmilite11]

Both are valid points. Especially because if it doesn’t come kq9 and say it comes out Jack high. Now what do you you do with j10. Interesting spot pre flop though for sure

[@loose4bet]

You have to have at least some folds vs 3bet unless you have a massive skill edge (which she doesn't) and the 3better is hyper aggressive (which he isn't). Even if you take this hand as example with 18% equity she doesn't get the immediate odds to call here. A lot of people think they know poker strategy just by watching youtube clips and occasionally gambling in the casino. Without understanding even the basic math behind the game. The ultimate verification came with the solvers which proved that when it comes to pre flop holdem the tight aggressive approach is dominant.

Clear call on the river given the fact that Ryusuke just called 3bet preflop. AK was one of the hands Doug was representing here but Ryusuke has that. If Doug triple barreled into a 4bet aggressor his range would've been much stronger and river couldve been a tough fold for AK.

[@pugsnhogz]

I don't see folks talking about sizing. IMO the sizing here was the cherry on top. Large enough to apply pressure, not so big that it makes Ryu want to hero call bc it's "so polarizing." Also Doug's body affect before putting the chips in. He really sold it that he wanted a call (seeming a little purposely hesitant, as if feigning indecision, etc.)

[@garybyoosey3163]

As soon as Julie folded, I knew she mucked the winner

[@asianphillippe007]

Julie would've flopped the Straight, but she's scared. A K called after A J re-raised, she should've just flat called instead folded. OMG!!! 🙄😳😯

[@Danicker]

Her hand was much weaker than the others, she made the correct decision. Sure she would've got lucky this time but most of the time her hand will be way behind on the flop

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

@@Danicker no, she didn’t. IF you’re going to open the J10 there, and you get 3 bet small and you’re going 3 ways getting more than 3-1 on a call it’s a mandatory call

[@asianphillippe007]

@@Danicker No, you're wrong. She's in the middle after A K. Doug Polk re-raised with A J. But A K called, then she would just call. Another example, if A K re-raise, she would force herself to fold.

[@laurentlaurent4730]

Hi guys, i have a question. I m a low stake tournamant player. Is this board a good candidate to bluff beacause of the 2 clubs on the flop ? Maybe he can see here just a missed flush ?

[@colinmurphy3478]

Its a good candidate to bluff because Doug blocks the J10 nuts and can credibly rep a lot of 2 pair combos, sets or j10. Also as the original 3 better, he should have all the KQs, AA, KK, AQ, maybe J10s. Ruske has some of those combos too, but the board is better for the 3better. Ruske should have just 4bet his AK instead of trying to play postflop with Doug who is likely a stronger player.

[@paulyz8534]

Replace Robbi with Mikki and nobody bats and eye to J 3 offsuit

[@armandom4998]

Why play if you fold J 10????

[@jarppe123]

JTo is heavily dominated by 3bet and cold call ranges. JTo too loose to open raise in first place that early position.

[@mitchrapp5214]

Both have good points. If you open should call if you are closing the action but in all honesty you should limp call that if you feel you have to play it from that position.
