Flopping 2nd Nuts in a Bomb Pot, poker vlog 182

[@CoolHandC]

Always great to see your vlog!

[@HuggiePoker]

Yup, the games in Texas play crazy big! It always surprises people when they come here. Thanks again for dinner, it was great meeting up with you and your wife!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Our pleasure! Love the choice of restaurant, very memorable!!

[@stevewinwood3674]

Yeah. That's why I can't play cash. The places in Louisiana shutdown during covid. Only one that came back in lake charles I hate. And the games in texas way too much money for me to take the swings

[@davidprice3318]

Hi buddy. Good wins. Happy Thanks. Glad to see you made it back ok.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Happy to be back in the saddle again 😀

[@stevenrhodes8768]

I love your videos. You are a real card shark 🦈🦈🦈🦈. Every player that you stack says something. Good experienced players are good enough to fold strong hands and weak players don't know how. Well looking forward to the next video. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃🦃

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thank You Steve, I have my bad days too. Appreciate your support.

Thought i Mussed the stream Happy Thanksgiving and as always THANKS

Happy Turkey Day to you!

“Good thinking player”- guy proceeds to play Q/10 spades the worst way possible 😊

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

They were trapping, that flop, the money is going in.

[@dacgours55]

@@dougmccuskerpoker “Trapping” but then donk shove river is certainly one way to play it I guess.

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

Nice watching you back in a ‘small’ game!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

That live stream game was well above my comfort zone

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

@@dougmccuskerpoker your 1-3 game was higher than my comfort zone too. I was surprised I was able to calm down enough so I wasn’t playing with scared money. It’s another reason I don’t play poker in Texas, even the low stakes games play bigger here and have numerous PLO double board bomb pots that always seem to have 3 or more players going all in. I may try Reno as Vegas has gotten way too pricy and too stingy comping players nothing anymore. Heck I love the game at Capital. I’ll have to figure out a way to get back out there next year

[@MaydayAggro]

WP. I think I would have only played the AK significantly differently, and you addressed that already.

[@smokinjoe4709]

I wish I could have made it down from Dallas. :( Love Texas poker!!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Tons of action

[@beachfraser3747]

afternoon from a very rainy UK, yuk, sucks bigtime, hope youre good big guy, best regards Fraser

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Life is always good. 😀. Hope you are well.

[@andysacks1703]

Games are bigger here in TX. It took me a while to get used to them. Went to NJ a few months ago and played 1/3 at Borgata. It was like penny ante (lol). Crushed it. Saw below you had dinner with Matt when you were here, I've played with him a few times at the Lodge. He's a really nice guy. I do miss his vlogs though.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Matt and I chatted quite a bit when he started vlogging. Always wanted to meet face to face so we arranged some time together away from the felt. We had a good time and I look forward to seeing him again. I know many that miss his vlogs 😩

[@michaelholland7738]

I play alot in the Shreveport area. The $1/3 game there plays more like a $2/5. Several $15-$25 opens and pots can get big really fast.

[@nddst77]

About the Lodge game: Shit happens hopefully we get to see it soon.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

I’m sure it will come out soon, when it does, I will make a vlog about it.

[@noahschmartz2354]

Love the vlog Doug, best music in poker vlogdom! Question: In the A9 spades hand, when the guy mucks, do u show ur hand or can u claim the pot without showing?

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

It was a no show, he surrendered the pot.

[@noahschmartz2354]

@@dougmccuskerpoker thx.

[@benfriedman8]

Just subscribed to the channel. I like your style of play and the way you narrate the hands. Keep it up!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the vlog.

[@davidgeorgecross815]

Thanks for the livestream clarification, was wondering what occurred. Also like your decision to not disclose results on it and look forward to your analysis when it comes out. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ya! Keep up the great vlogs 👍.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Still have no idea of the release date, but a vlog will follow

[@speakstruth7735]

Disappointed to not get to watch you play at the Lodge. Hopefully they'll air it soon. It's funny to hear you say your regular game doesn't play big cause I think it plays huge for a 1/3! I remember the days of $300 buyins for 1/3 but its $500 here in Chicago & $1k is the 2/5. Your game there at Capitol plays huge for me!

[@stignatius1625]

i’m a chicago player too, i wanna set up a home game

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

The 1-3 plays bigger than many 2-5 games. The live stream was basically a 5-10-25 game.

[@jrcorsey]

Bad beat on the unalive stream (late for Halloween). Hope you had a great vacation without it. Glad you weren't about to fold the flopped flush. Beautiful hero call with A9. That's above the rim. That flush vs trips was brilliant, you sized those bets perfectly 🤩 Nice to have you back, glad it felt good to be home. As I like to say, "There's no vlog like Doug's" 😂

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Hero calls can cut both ways, they look really stupid when you’re wrong. Flush vs JJJ, sizing up is a must, one of the things I learned on my trip to Texas.

[@jrcorsey]

@@dougmccuskerpoker just that is enough to make the trip worth while. You'll pay for a lot of trips to Texas applying that lesson. And yes, if you get above the rim and miss, you look very foolish indeed. Oh, that 'clunk-tun-tun-tun-tun' stays with you. 😑 But you still got above the rim, which few people ever do 😄

[@raylewis6117]

Appreciate you bro 😄

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

My pleasure

[@helenrachel1520]

Good cannot wait for live stream. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 😊

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thank you❤️. The vlog will eventually come out and it is a crazy big game with lots of swings.

[@kmdskins]

The hand where are you had AK and lost to J5. When it was your turn and you only had $15 invested, I think you should have either folded or raised to isolate. J5 would almost certainly fold before the flop. If you’re going to play it, get it down to heads up.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

true, I was hesitant because I ran very poorly with AK in Texas. Normally I would isolate against most players

[@kmdskins]

@@dougmccuskerpoker I get it, there’s been times where I have folded preflop with that ham because of the preflop action told me that at best I was flipping. And there are times that I just don’t want to flip for my whole stack. So, when you’re feeling that way about that hand, there’s nothing wrong with just folding a pre-flop.

[@wxx3]

Not your problem with live feed. I did look for you during those days you told us that you would be in Texas.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks for searching for me, spent a lot of time being a tourist.

We missed you Doug! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Thanks, same to you and yours.
