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.

[@sethshapiro5973]

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.

[@3up3down.]

Why is Doug playing so many trash hands he says not to play in his courses?

[@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.

[@salvygambler8607]

Man, at some point he will figure out it’s ok to fold or just check and get beat… these are expensive bluffs
