Getting Revenge In Texas Vlog #49

[@graemeh6768]

Great vlog as always. And don't worry about the background music. It's fine. People will complain about anything.

[@DonkFishPoker]

Thanks Graeme, I appreciate your continued feedback and support. I hope you and your family are doing well. I learned a long time ago that you can’t please everyone but it’s nice to try 😂

[@schotten]

just finished watching all your episodes, thanks for the work!! I live in Berlin where there is one Casino at Potsdamer Platz where they have occasionally 1 PLO table €2/4 apart from that Germany is PLO desert. You have to drive 4 hours to Kings Casino Rozvadov Czech Republik, where you can find a lot of €5/5 PLO action - biggest poker room in europe. Looking forward to your 5 tipps video. regards, etzel

[@DonkFishPoker]

Thanks Etzel, I appreciate your support. Sorry to hear you’re in a plo desert. Is it maybe because a lot of players there prefer online poker? I’ve heard of kings casino, sounds like a cool place to check out but 4 hours drive is a bit too much for a day trip. That’s how far it is for me to drive to Las Vegas so it’s more of a weekend trip. Yeah me too, I think it’ll help out a lot of ppl. Should be posted Thursday morning. Good luck at the tables

[@michaelantony1446]

I like this type hand because it really polarizes after flop.leaves easy decisions

[@DonkFishPoker]

You mean the 9987DS?

[@DonkFishPoker]

Yeah I agree, you definitely have to know how to play it though as some people overvalue combo draws with this hand as those mid flushes often get you in trouble.

👍🏼👍🏼Great vlog as always… I’m playing real deep now in plo… the new crack of poker… 😬🤣😁… I seem to get real stuck early too and always look at my watch @4 hours of play… if I’m winning I usually tend to quit but when I’m losing I play until it get short handed… or game breaks… it’s a high limit house game… the chips tend to disappear after 8 hours… any advice or tips I need to be aware…? Thanks buddy… keep it coming!

[@DonkFishPoker]

If you’re losing early you’re probably making the same mistake I’ve been making recently which is playing too wide. My last couple sessions I’ve played I’ve gone back to basics and just played tight solid poker and it’s worked out well for me so I’d recommend tightening up and see how it goes. Also playing short handed is an entirely different skill set so I’d stick to playing full ring for now then slowly transition into short handed play. It’s all part of the process and you’ll be better for it down the road. Good luck at the tables buddy.

[@Fatheroftheyear12]

First hand was tough. You see your clubs were actually live on the top board, you turned the nuts anyways and he boats up on the river. The bottom board you’re drawing dead to a running straight flush. Great video

[@DonkFishPoker]

Yes it was, I had a lot of decent things going in the hand but nothing to be super happy with. Double board bomb pots are very tricky to play 😂 Thanks Connor, much appreciated man 🤜🏻

[@Fatheroftheyear12]

@@DonkFishPoker No doubt, PLO double board bomb pots are where I’ve won and lost the biggest pots of my life

[@adamcech1678]

I gotta repeat myself, it just feels like you are gambling in those DB bomb pots. Glad you had a win and it was fun action vlog. The music is gangster af definitely keep that in

[@DonkFishPoker]

I know, I’ve been getting sucked in with these marginal holdings. Would you have folded the first hand? Thanks man, I like the song too but I might find another couple good ones to rotate just to keep it fresh.

[@adamcech1678]

@@DonkFishPoker I dont want to rewatch but most of the DB hands felt foldable. You never had one board locked up and had a nutted draw on the second one which is how I would play these

[@DonkFishPoker]

@@adamcech1678 yes you’re right, I definitely got sucked into the double board bomb pot madness. You really have to play tighter in these hands so lesson learned for next time. Thanks for the feedback Adam, much appreciated as always

[@andrewwinkelman6210]

Good stuff as always. Found out my local casino is starting a weekly 1-1 PLO game for the first time. But the buy in cap is only 300 so it’s gonna be interesting. Definitely want to play it though

[@300lbcanary2]

It is a good way to get started. I don't mind a small game as it will play much larger than the 1-1 indicates. It is better than where I play and you have a max $300 bet, so if game gets too big you hit the cap very quickly.

[@DonkFishPoker]

That’s awesome, which casino is this at?

[@andrewwinkelman6210]

@@DonkFishPoker Hollywood casino in Toledo

[@DonkFishPoker]

@@andrewwinkelman6210 Oh nice, I used to live in Columbus for 4 years but never checked out Toledo. I do know Cinci had some great plo action when I was last there in 2017 but I know that’s a bit of a drive from Toledo. Let me know how it goes

[@terrysword7739]

When my opponent says “you’re probably good”, and I don’t have a monster I just announce “2 pair”. Saves time and then I don’t have to reveal my whole hand

[@DonkFishPoker]

That’s smart, I myself just like to get the conclusion of the hand done asap not wasting time

[@terrysword7739]

@@DonkFishPoker once you say 2 pair and he knows he has a set he can start rolling his hand over and that’ll save more time than waiting for the dealer and him to figure out what you have

[@DonkFishPoker]

@@terrysword7739 great point, I’ll try that moving forward. Thanks Terry

Looks like you were able to dodge the "loosness" this time around...always good to book a win.

[@DonkFishPoker]

Just enough dodging to book a win 😂

[@brianirwin6906]

Thank you for the Omaha content! I actually absolutely hate Hold Em. Had a 6 hour long Hold Em session yesterday where I was essentially completely card dead outside of 1 pair of Ks and 1 pair of Js. Soooo boring!

[@DonkFishPoker]

Your welcome, I feel the exact same way about hold em, snooze fest haha. Do they offer plo near you?

[@brianirwin6906]

@DonkFishPoker Yeah, but the stakes are a bit too high for me. I will be moving down to Orange County from SF area next month. Maybe I'll see you at the Lake some time

[@jcw8955]

you can go completely card dead in PLO as well, assuming you’re playing proper ranges. i might’ve played 1 hand an hour the last time i played 1/2 PLO at the Wynn. much prefer online PLO where i can 4-table

[@DonkFishPoker]

@@jcw8955 yes it definitely takes a bit more patience when playing live but I prefer that nowadays.

[@sharkbait201]

Great vlog been following you when you had less than 1k followers. Just one suggestion slow down when you revel opponents hands so we can analyze some though process of their hands as well.

[@DonkFishPoker]

Thanks Thomas, I appreciate you following me from the beginning. Others have suggested that as well so I’ll definitely try my best to slow down moving forward. I guess that’s the east coaster in me talking fast lol.

[@jcw8955]

any resources where you can study double board PLO bomb pots? kind of an obscure topic and i have no experience with them, but i know they’re the new thing these days. even PokerBros has tables that run DBBPs

[@DonkFishPoker]

It’s hard enough finding just plo content so I doubt there is. They’re definitely growing in popularity and it’s easy to see why although they are extremely difficult to play.

[@pathopkins7204]

Love the vids but although I play plo am not getting better tbh. Play online in Dublin

[@DonkFishPoker]

Thanks Pat, sorry to hear that. I don’t know online that well anymore but what would you say is the biggest issue you’re facing when playing?

[@rajaramramaswamy6560]

I feel Texas players are a little more sticky and games are a little more wild do you feel the same ?

[@DonkFishPoker]

I do, I think them having the double board bomb pots, being able to buy in much deeper plus straddle on the button all contribute to that.

[@hiphopconnoisseur8314]

Love the vlog! Recently getting into more Omaha and doing well at low stakes. What are some common leaks you see from Rec players at your level or below? Keep profiting and feeding us content. Thank you!

[@DonkFishPoker]

Thanks 🙏 That’s funny you asked that because I was just filming a 5 tips video where I cover common leaks of beginner plo players but the #1 biggest is playing too many hands. I appreciate the feedback and stay tuned.

[@vladimpala1859]

If you had to choose, would you play with or without bomb pots? If with, how often?

[@DonkFishPoker]

Great question, I would play with them maybe a couple times per session as they increase the variance even more which is something I try to reduce as much as possible. That being said I do believe they help the game loosen up a bit.

[@vladimpala1859]

@@DonkFishPoker Sounds about right. But double-board are a must. Single is trash and should just be a flip if two aren't allowed. I also think they should be infrequent. I've played in games where they want to play them every dealer change, and they eat up way too much time.

[@DonkFishPoker]

@@vladimpala1859 I agree on all those points. They definitely slow the game down quite a bit. If they weren’t played every dealer change idk how they would be played. Seems like that is the best way to indicate when they are played

[@vladimpala1859]

@@DonkFishPoker Dealer change is definitely easiest, but maybe every other. Or pick a random event that triggers one, like an all-diamond flop, etc. Thankfully the couple casinos I go to most often don't allow them, so it's not an issue. But the home games love them. And we have this weird law that allows "charitable gaming" to be held as a fundraiser - those places are a circus for degens.

[@DonkFishPoker]

@@vladimpala1859 yeah that’s an idea. They are definitely growing in popularity. I was checking bravo in Vegas the other day just to see how busy the casinos get off peak time and I saw Wynn has a 5-25 double board bomb pot only game 😂 Where are you located again?

[@anthonymartino403]

Congrats on the win. Liked most of it but not sure why you are playing QJ64 ds, even on the button Hand seems way too disjointed

[@DonkFishPoker]

Thanks man, I called just because Nadar specifically sat at the table to play with me so I figured I give him some action but yes normally I fold that hand.

[@drdrayfromla99]

Are you a fan of the double board bomb pots? Seems very swingy- you’ll win or lose big pots- and you’re forced to play marginal hands that typically get you in trouble which is probably the point.

[@DonkFishPoker]

I believe they can be good for the game but they are also very tricky to play for the reasons you mentioned. Even for someone like myself who has played a lot of live plo, double board bomb pots are difficult to play especially if you aren’t familiar with them.

[@plostyle786]

Dont play 1/3. No one, including myself, respects the blinds and play "crazy". Play 5/5/10, that plays a lot better with less crazies although you may find one here and there.

[@DonkFishPoker]

You’re right, I typically play 5/5 but figured I’d give these stakes a try here as I was told it played much bigger than any other 1/3 and it turned out to be true haha

[@plostyle786]

@@DonkFishPoker the problem is the short buys will keep shoving early in multi way pots and there is no point trying to out play your opponent when tht happens. Ruins the game.
