From the line of Dan play, he could only have one combo QT heart, he will never call QTo at turn out position, try to hit gut shoot on the river. The next hand Dan can have is KK and AK, plus some missing draw bluff on river. so set 99 is call on river.

[@zche083]

@@Joel-js2gk I have another thought, Dan 3 bet the pot, if he TQ, T8 must suited, 3 bet Un-suited TQ, T8 is too lose. if Dan pick up a open-end at turn, he likely too continue barrel two street. The player as good as Dan DO NOT often check-call a straight draw at turn and out position, it's a lose play, he may check-rise bluff at turn if he pick a open end or bluff two street. This also can reduce the chance of Dan to have TQs, T8s. Then Dan value bet hands is AK or KK, bluff hands like missing flash draw, so 99 can be a call at river, but fold is not bad play either.

Thing is, in a hypothetical situation would Dan be doing this if he had KK when QTs is in buttons range ? 3bet/Bet/Check-Call/Check-Shove with KK? Im asking is it Ok to check raise allin on the river with KK on this board giventhat the button could have all his suited QT's in his range because Dan made such a small cbet on the flop, A button player with all QsTs is going to call and peel one off here and/or float very often if he was faced with such a small cbet sizing on the flop right? Basically Im asking if it would be fine to go all in with KK on the river if the Button has all QTs in his range. Thanks

[@SpicyNuggs562]

I would say check-shoving with KK is pretty good here. We know Aaron doesn't have AA, and Aaron will most likely pay us off with plenty of two-pair and set combos. So, we're really only worried about QT, but he's just not going to have it that often.

I think this: 1) Aaron had around 30% pot odds to call, with a small SPR 2) suppose Dan was in a nutted range like KK+, JJ, QTs 3) we have to consider also stuff like AKo, AKs in Dan's range! 4) and just with a final range of (KK+, JJ, QTs, AK) 99's set is good around 41%, so still +EV to call! if we add in more weak hands like AJ or AQ, it is even better for Aaron! Anyway, was a weird hand cause Dan's play on the river was pretty much reckless and yes he had some blockers, but I feel him here to be too much confident. Also, cause the SPR was small and Aaron was pretty much committed so it's hard to get good fold equity. I think Aaron was too much nitty here. Nice hand though!

Hey Doug: The kid who folded 99 was playing scared money. Not everyone is ready to play at these levels simply because they don't have the money to do it.The majority of Americans don't have 50k readily available. Poker at the high stakes level changes much of the dynamic of the game itself. For 50k you aren't folding the 99 because you are a millionaire. Where AQ shoved all-in the other guy was shitting in his pants! 50k is a a nightclub with friends, bottles and sluts for you. Honestly, poker is a real waste of money that could be used for significantly better ventures rather than sitting at a card table with men all day hoping that your set won't get busted by some loose cannon or Uber-rich dude who sucked out to a straight. Poker is you win some and you lose most. I would have to have millions of dollars to comfortable go and plunk $50,000 onto the table and not care if you lose it. If you only have $500,000 10% of your network is depleted on the basis of losing one single hand assuming the buy in is $50,000 minimum. It is a terrible fucking investment for anybody, never mind the kid who was quivering in his fruit of the looms over potentially losing his stack.

I had him covered. I put him on the straight with Q9 or 97. I called because of this video. Doug Polk said don't fold sets. So I didn't. He had the straight with 9 7. The river paired the board with a Jack to make my hand float with the boat.

[@superpasi7315]

I like your vids Doug but do you really need to have all his tanking time in the vid?

[@TopCheese81]

Keeps it more real I suppose

[@IbasketcaseI]

some of us like watching it, for those who dont skipping forward in the video is really easy! seems like a win win

[@morboed96]

Yeah, I personally always loved seeing poker players tank (as long as they have tough decisions), even if they take 8 minutes. I think it's fun to see them think really hard for a lot of money. But I agree that it's not quite as appealing when you know the outcome because of the title.

[@iantibbetts6871]

Also use the time to study the player may identify tells etc plus gives the opportunity to practice spotting them. It's not always about the cards.

[@danielnewby2255]

I genuinely thought the video got funnier the longer he tanked. It was ridiculous this wasn't a snap call, it got more ridiculous watching him contort his face into scaring himself off.

[@liudizzle]

I flop a set once every three years, you don't have to tell me not to fold a set.

[@DrasticKDescription]

Where'd ya go uncle doug?

[@adambaxter1095]

This message is for Doug, who posted the video. I appreciate your insight and advice, for sure. I would also appreciate you using terms that someone new to the game, like me, understands. I spent many times searching terms you used in the video, but it got to the point where that became just too much so I proceeded watching without understanding it all. If this is for viewers who are supposed to know the terms you've used, then ok, but if you are welcoming to new players, I know I would've learned much more had I understood what you were saying. I also understand one can learn from exposure, but I would suggest maybe finessing your speech just a bit on your part, you know, for us newbies. Or not. Thanks bro.

[@Dreamline78]

"If this is for viewers who are supposed to know the terms you've used, then ok," It is. In all seriousness though, this isn't some super-advanced theoretical video, and the terms he uses are pretty basic. Outside of "merged range", I don't recall hearing a single term that a typical player (including fairly new ones) either doesn't know or can't figure out the meaning through context. What are some things you didn't understand?

[@adambaxter1095]

Thanks. As I watch more, I see what you mean - this isn't catered to new comers. As I just finished my second day at the casino tables, I've learned a bunch of the terms I didn't understand just a few days ago (with still much to learn). Disregard my earlier sentiment and I will learn through context.

[@adambaxter1095]

And I couldn't list all the terms I didn't understand :)

[@ApocalypseNowWithEli]

I love Angle Torelli!

[@MarkH10]

You mistyped, "Angel", the New Age 'spiritual' leader.

[@barbsldsr]

If you're going to fold to the shove here, why go for value on the river? Check it back, or commit.

[@nicklock8929]

Its a bad bluff the guy with AQ knows hes behind he cant beat anything but a rag ace. The other guy folding dosnt make sense to me you cant put him on a straight and if he had pocket kings then why would you be betting with the ace on the table. I would of put my opponent on ak 2 pair its an easy call.

[@cartadviser7401]

you read my mind..I was like how can Goug say he has pocket kings here..

[@dannyrivers920]

well it actually makes sense that he could have had KK. 3bet pre, small cbet on the Ace flop to see where he was and maaaaybe he would have folded on the flop to a x3 raise. Since he got called, he just slowed down on the turn and went check-call. Maybe he sensed the weak Ace, like A5-A10 suited from the button call preflop and was planning to donk him on the river. I'm not saying I would put him on that, but he actually could have had that hand.

[@dannyrivers920]

I'm sorry but you guys look like micro-limit grinders where everyone is snap calling with rags lol

[@depressedessendonfan5702]

there's like 3 2 pairs that sam wise can have and fold that Frodo can go after. its not likely he's targeting 999 or whatever here. with that said the 999 fold was stupid I think you have to call because of distribution. what else are you going to call with

[@gregdegani]

Hey Doug, What happened to the "more rake is better song?" Had that stuck in my head for days...!

[@Vitalstatistix]

*Haha when God gives you gold you return it thinking its poop*

[@704studio]

dude moved up from 5 cent 10 cent to live at the bike, insta call here with proper bankroll, you get coolered so be it. Playing over your bankroll like this guy means playing in this game was his first mistake.

[@jimmy87587]

Kind of like the show there at the end - not a bad idea to let table see some of the more extreme low-frequency plays

[@saint_can_sam7045]

Hilarious seeing a Dnegs ad for his master class before your video starts.

[@ss8512]

Its different when it's literally your money your betting.

[@endoffate5475]

true

[@deuce4off]

14:38 takes a sip from his tourettes latte, really kicks in at 14:56.

[@emmettlikeaboss8085]

Ya done messed up A A Ron

[@ramondolz7796]

Thanks for keep updating vídeos doug, y really apreciate It

[@MarkH10]

"Hides a couple cards....". I love it. I have seen 4 videos covering Torellis' lack of personal character, the first of which was on his own channel. I unsubbed him on the basis of the analysis he tried on his own hand, and thoughts on his own channel. I stated then that the only pure, integrity response was to return the extra. The Age 'spiritual' gobbledygook gave way to Corporate CS type response to me, 'thanking' me for my 'concern'. I can't stand that FAKE ASS THIEF.

[@Kolorexx]

Is there any rake on live at the bike show?

[@99wins]

No, and that's why Daniel Negreanu does not play there.

[@nicholashicks472]

Why would he not play becaude thetr isnt a rake?

[@Kolorexx]

@@nicholashicks472 i wonder because doug also played at live at the bike

[@JP7137042]

I like Doug's energy - i almost never understand his thoughts out loud

[@Driger_V]

Hahahahah, that Fkin smile when he folda from dan😂😂😂

[@TeoGPoker]

If you just go ALL IN on the flop you don't get bluffed like that on the river .... keep it simple

[@not_a_cool_handle]

Bad play. Checking back the river is best if you're scared getting bluffed.

[@stevesitu]

You won't make any $ by flopping a set ,if you goes all in on the flop. Your opponent only committed $2700 and both of you are very deep in stacks. But from your logic you don't have to deal with stress with playing poker on the river. It's the high stakes game, people who can't afford it then they shouldn't be in the game in the first place. just my opinions.

[@TeoGPoker]

Guys ..this comment is a joke/troll lol 😎

[@TopCheese81]

You wont make any money long term, only a set ia calling u on flop...

[@SweetandSourohmy]

Yep👍

[@aGuyNamedEr1c]

He thought about it too much at the end. Talked himself out of making the gut instinct hero call.

[@ewmkkpe]

One of the most craziest and proper bluff on the river, respect to Dan. He know where he is at on the river.

[@suckafree3734]

I dont tink he put him on a set tho….

[@roccitysoundllc3404]

Nah he didn’t know where he was ate got lucky other guy was a donkey

[@anthonyramirez7851]

I don't get why he kept bringing up having q-10 of hearts as a possible best hand or at all relative after the river? is there something about higher stakes poker I'm not aware of?
