HUGE STRADDLE POKER HAND!!!

[@navkamal5950]

Best episode ive seen on Poker night. humor is spot on and action is propah

[@0201912]

Doug is always so lucky

[@bassistck24]

Rough hand for GI as he runs into top pair 😂😂

[@connman8d617]

He's honestly the worst player I've ever seen in a high stakes game like this one.

[@kanyeste]

Him and Randall

[@PJB0830]

8:55 is the hand in the title, you’re welcome

[@mart_en]

Why would a good or bad king matter ? The board is 4,4,K,A. Any king has two pair with an Ace as a kicker ...

[@tmph1814]

How recent is this when they played...anyone...was it exactly in late April 2019? If that’s the case Polk is on a heater just crushing it this session. Would like to see him play at the Bike with Gman, Andy, etc Friday night big stakes.

[@GregorBautista]

the date was at the beg of the video

[@pudsrus2]

Wow Vanessa Selbst buying in for 200K 😳

[@ryotakada152]

GI is the Abe of Poker Night lol

[@whatlez]

Where does GI get his 100k that went to waste in a 20 minute program haha.

[@chrisarksey]

7:16 amazing!

[@JedmcCj-uq5dw]

doug ran so well for awhile then just got too drunk

[@wen496]

good king and bad king? whats the commentator braggling about? all king have Ace kicker now?

[@ryanw5569]

Exactly what I was thinking. These guys aren't even commentating live, so not sure how they can miss that in the editing booth.

[@44magdeagle]

Yeah long live the engagement! Haha

[@biggrigg1371]

that AA vs 2 KQ makes me not want to play poker ever again

[@fedfreds832]

Bigg Rigg just how the cards turn shit 7-2 off suit can beat pocket aces

[@zeroz88]

Same. It really goes to show you poker is a gambling game. No different than other Casino games.

[@lindadimattia9324]

@@zeroz88 did you just really say poker is the same as other casino games? Are you out of your damn mind? You do know in poker you play against other poker player's and not the house right? Of course playing poker is gambling, but if you know what you are doing and put a lot of time into it you will have a huge edge in the long run over recreational player's. The A-A v.s K-Q and K-Q hand was extremely unlucky, you could run that exact same scenario 100 times and the A-A would win almost 90% of the time.

[@connman8d617]

@@zeroz88 Poker is a strategy game with high levels of variance. It is not a casino game. In poker, the game is not rigged toward somebody having an edge over you. You create your own edge by playing better than your opponents. Does that mean you'll always win? Of course not. But, over a large enough sample, the best player always wins.

[@kevinlange5930]

AA loses to 67 suited 23%ish of the time. AA is the best hand but it loses all the time. Esp multiway. Play volume and nothing is a cooler

[@VegasNit]

Doug is such a nice guy, his positive attitude is his main skill, only possessing that, will increase the probability to achieve a lot in life..

[@priely5149]

Polk is a hell of a player, I learned so much from him.

[@swg2002]

When the commentators talk about the quality of a king not realizing that the ace on a paired board plays as the kicker for all kings you then know why they commentate and don't play.

[@connman8d617]

Yeah, in another one of these episodes the flop came down Q, 10, 7, and they tried to say that a 6 was "one of the safest turn cards in the deck" for pocket aces. I was like "uhh....I dunno man I think I'd rather have a 2, 3, 4 or 5."

[@golfmaniac007]

are they playing for real cash money?

[@JedmcCj-uq5dw]

i HATE the way freedmamn looks at his cards

[@sammyf7191]

Wéll DUDe WHat u expect their home players he’s a fish ! A duck 🦆 he can only play his cards and that GI wow jeez dream player to play against and that jeremey Kaufman THat guy has $250 million hes such a cash register!!! Cha Ching !!! Hin gi Friedman !

[@sammyf7191]

If their ever was a fish 🐠!!!!! Igod he goes by the name GI

[@D1G1TALFOX]

V E R Y N I C E . . . G G Chaos Reigns 🦊 😎

[@connman8d617]

4:19 This is the start of a very strange sequence. Kassela has flopped a baby flush, bet the flop and been called. The pot is a reasonable 10k. It's checked to him on a brick turn and he leads for $3,800 which is perfectly reasonable as well. That's when things go off the rails. Freedman raises it to $12,000. If I'm Kassela here, I have alarm bells going off in my head. What hands are calling a 3 diamond flop and then check-raising the turn? Only flushes and bluffs. Now, the only hands that Freedman can even THINK about bluffing with here have to contain the Kd but you'd have to imagine that Freedman would have 3-bet from OOP with any really strong Kings like AKo or KQo pre-flop. So, if you're Kassela, you have to ask yourself "would Freedman flat call a raise in the small blind with a weak offsuit King?" I think the answer is mostly no. For these reasons, I think Freedman's range is highly skewed toward having the flush vs. bluffing. Then, Kassela decides to ship it for 19k more and gets snapped off by the nuts. I just don't understand what he was hoping to accomplish with this raise. I GUESS you deny equity to sets and higher single diamond hands but I feel like with roughly 20% equity, those hands would just call the $3800 which is almost giving them direct odds to do so. Sets, I feel, are also a bit unlikely to just smooth call the flop as well which skews Freedman's range even more towards higher flushes. I think it's pretty reasonable to find the fold button on this turn but, if that strikes you as too nitty, a flat call is probably the 2nd best option. Kassela just chose option C - a full Chernobyl level meltdown. TL;DR - For the love of Christ don't shove when you're either way in front or drawing dead.

[@katiemarshall7531]

Sell outs, you changed the name and description 😂

[@stevenmcclain6336]

That's why you don't call a preflop raise with 8 5 and once again at the 17:33 Mark Stapleton makes fun of poke and his silly calls. But I guess with his silly girl laugh that he has a lot of bromancing to do on his KZbin channel

[@jamesstevenson3116]

HELL YEAH FAMILY DOUBLE DARE!!!

[@onlylexus]

GI,, stands for Great Intelligence. Errr! NOT!

[@kanyeste]

He's so bad

[@sammyf7191]

Hé is one of many many players have no poker brains 🧠 what so ever only plays his cards and doesn’t have a clue in the world what his opponent has ! Like come on buddy but I saw him win couple pots with fucning shit he sucked out on 4 card straight on board and king kalis I think flopped a Set and called his àll in when he made his straight tjat fish gi jumped back in seat wow players who r much better easily spot that ! Such a téll and king paid him off lost like $85k

[@bertrandsmith9478]

Kassela could’ve folded his flush to that super nit. So annoying to see such a bad nit god mode that hard

[@connman8d617]

Agreed. Or, at the very least, he could have just flatted the turn and then jammed if the river paired the board since it was so obvious that Freedman had a high flush but it wasn't super obvious that Kassela didn't have a set.

[@roosdad1]

Chris hansen did a video with you,....is not something you want to tell people.

[@whatlez]

Why does stapes just give shit to Doug all the time lmao.

[@Matttimmswins]

what is the deal with the Polk hate on PNA? Did he talk shit about it a bunch? He definitely rubs some in the industry the wrong way, but Stapes seems to hate him a lot. Just seems incongruous with all the positive vibes on the table...

[@sj0nnie]

He is just not a likeable guy. Talks way too much, and isnt funny.

[@qingyunjian7]

NEVER all-in with Aces!

[@Magic-Marv420]

LUCK POLK.

[@mackellarboy7]

Cool hand 🖐

[@jlee315]

You can’t have a kicker with any king...

[@Pokernight]

I think this was just a roundabout way to saying his Kx hands are not KA or KK - but I see how it would sound confusing. We like to test you guys out there and amke sure you're all paying close attention :)

[@christophergarrison2628]

Dirty flop with the AA

[@AWD_T]

They should show stack sizes

[@aaronsoto6662]

All in for $26,000 ....with fucking A6 suited lmfao...wow....damn i wish i had $100,000 I'd come out of this game a multi-millionaire lol

[@Garrrrry5]

1% KQ

[@tylerjoyner9865]

Sick

[@bmfj3104]

Is Stapleton always this funny or did he just get lucky.

[@denisbabebabiar]

Kassela was UNlucky as fuck - but he often dont play good so thats it.

[@stunami27]

Someone get me a game with GI please!

[@den_525]

Good or bad king? does it matter? Kings and 4s with an ace kicker... lol

[@乔一-p4h]

cash game？ crazy

[@darlenebensman]

Do these players like not play with their own money or something?

[@alleneng]

so recycling old videos is a thing now?

[@mjhmn]

The show got cancelled?

[@andreag6175]

lol Kalas is too much... Doug Kardashian! Doug Polk is pretty cute though and he does seem to win a lot but he talks way too fast on his channel.

[@paulreynolds4548]

In the first hand.. How does he have a weak king ?? The board was 4 -4 K- A- 8 So even with a weak king, he has two pair with a Ace kicker..

[@christopheho7038]

GI is such a FISH!!! Wish i could play with him in real life...

[@christopheho7038]

@Yes Man Watch the video mate. and you'll see what a fish he was

[@konst1100]

Do it! You just need to make as much money

[@TrenosUK]

Not much of a Yes man.

[@connman8d617]

I agree, he's awful. I've only ever seen him rake 1 pot on this show that was when he got it in on the flop with a megadraw and ended up sucking out a straight flush.

[@jd31068]

Engagement

[@farleygranger]

G.I.LOST.

[@stevenmcclain6336]

I wonder if poor Polk knows that the announcer Stapleton makes fun of him at the 3:54 Mark Polk says something stupid and the announcer says what's amazing is that poke thinks the things he says are jokes. He's absolutely right because it's a joke that guy even has a KZbin channel I have never laughed anything he says funny he's not his laugh is funny cuz he sounds like a 10 year old girl

[@duhGOATman]

lol doug with the preflop all in 100k with A10 wtf

[@stevenmcclain6336]

Poke could do everybody a favor on his channel and please don't give poker advice or what was the smart or what was a dumb move in his fantastic commentating with this long drawn-out woooooorrrrds like a TV anchor. He must have brought to school for that I think they all have to go to some kind of speech class to sound like newscasters. I don't know why people think that's comforting

[@masonman88]

mean comment here !

Polker Night in America

[@Aek21..........00]

Doug so lucky wtf.most of his hands he is so lucky and make bad play

[@master-fi7nw]

Gi....poorly

[@paulreynolds4548]

How did Puke Polk buy in for 200,00.00 while the others only for 50,00.00 The stack poker.. Pukeboy can play bully poker.. Still isn't what I call a poker player.. Just a has been that wishes he was ....

[@ItsJusto]

He won over 100k in this one night. I think he’s doing alright

[@Matttimmswins]

"Puke Polk" ? Why the hate? He's obviously a good player w the stats to prove it, you just don't like his face or something?

[@Nick-xu7ns]

They were not prohibited from buying in for more than 50k. They simply chose not to (excluding GI the goat). Also “bully poker”? This is a cash game. Leveraging stack depth to pick up blinds and antes isn’t a thing in cash games.

[@connman8d617]

I think he's just buying in for $200k so that he doesn't have to top up every time he loses a pot. It's an indication that he's ready and willing to splash around but still feels he has enough of an edge that he wants to cover everybody.

[@___asd7065]

Hello

[@coolcat93418]

I don't even care that Doug sucked out because the guy with AK slow rolled.

[@TheLandOfTears]

GI made good calls, and good plays, he just had terrible luck, his poker is generally profitable just not against these guys.

[@pawa____4993]

lol not really

[@giuliovassallo1774]

He made bad calls lol

[@Sc0ttybotty1]

open potting it with KQ is terrible

[@bertrandsmith9478]

Donk leading with KQ on 5 7 9 was pretty horrendous though

[@connman8d617]

I agree with you 100%. When you're dealt Q9o and flop middle pair, how are you supposed to avoid losing 30k that hand? That's just a cooler, plain and simple.

[@fmdeathtouch4115]

I hate that one commentators voice. It's so annoying and his commentary is horrible

[@mart_en]

They are a bunch of amateurs there ! Why does he reraise on the turn with the nut flush instead of just calling ? And why does the other guy go all in with his baby flush afterwards ? Man, I could get so much money out of those hillbillies ...

[@connman8d617]

Raising with the nut flush on the turn is okay if you're trying to get more money out of the baby flush before another diamond comes or the board pairs and kills your action on the river. Going all-in with the baby flush is indefensible.

[@mindaugasgudzinskas1594]

The commentators suck, as usual in such videos.

[@mohamedosamakhan3140]

This show is so scripted! And fake!
