I Have SET OVER SET In A $309,700 Pot!

[@DougPolkPoker]

I try not to bring this up too often, but there actually is a $14,000 giveaway happening right now. You have until Friday to enter: gleam.io/lMFyo/doug-polks-last-giveaway-of-2017

[@Bhaddis]

Hi Doug! Dude play me heads up

[@pillowtalk1305]

Probably should do 28 x 500$ giveaways to share the love, instead of 1 winner..ppl just love better odds too, Im in btw ;)

[@Hawksforever99]

Doug Polk Poker No one ever mentions the (very unlikely) possibility of 97ss as one of the possible hands you'd lose to and which would also pretty much be a) never folding in this situation and, b) Koon is going to possibly play it the same way from pre-flop?

[@lari9496]

he did mention it bro

[@Nerfunkal]

I absolve you of your blasphemy my son.

[@darrenthornton2419]

"Most people have a 'if you got me, you got me' approach, but some really great players may be able to lay this one down." *Koon proceeds to lay this one down.* That is some classy commentary, man.

[@krassenedyalkov4076]

yeah Koon is great player thats why

[@MrDarylGreen]

that awkward moment when you build a reputation for overbluffing and people still fold boats to you when you have it.

[@espinozasubs4007]

Even with that weak action in the flop...

[@spencercress5348]

That awkward moment when you flop set over set and forget to mention in the title that you only netted 70BB after your opponent over bet the river

[@spencercress5348]

That's kind of what I was saying, if JK had a channel he should do a video about how he owned this spot

[@michael2305]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@rico4141]

after they bet 54K on the river themselves.

[@antbanks7548]

That was great to see that interaction when Jakoon bumped his head on your shoulder. That was a good thing for you to do and tell him, you could tell his stress immediately dissipated.

[@captainstubbing1]

Wow, I had to watch it like seven times to see what you were talking about and you are exactly right. Good eye, that was a great show of respect and a gargantuan lay down

[@Nosirt]

@@captainstubbing1it’s much worse when you are in live stream- folding boats is something that eats up your reputation. You only need this to be a bluff 1% of time for people to forever label you an idiot for folding a boat. He most likely wasn’t stressed about the money but rather how it would look like if he just got bluffed or folded to over played A9

[@tassv5909]

Hi Doug Polk Poker. One of the better videos. Great thinking and analysis, very in depth and I enjoyed the manners of telling Koon your hand at the end and the "there are some people I would lie to but not Koon".

[@InterWebGuy99]

Doug loves the game of poker and the competition. The money is just to keep score. Classy player who is a credit to the game we love.

[@Battlegroundinho]

@@koslim Til you don't bet a fullhouse on the river. You'll never play these stakes so please stay quiet

[@369-n2e]

@@koslim you mean that river bet was perfect. The raise was very stupied . Jason koon Lost minimum and that river bet was so Good you don't understand.

[@peaterAAA]

@@koslim Well he must have some fold equity since he did fold. I think that the small overbet on the river gave him the info he needed to be able to fold. As you said, he gave the impression that he would call anything on the river considering that "stupid overbet size" in that perticullar situation ... and it does dramatically decrease the chance of being bluffed or raised by any kind of 9. That river bet gave him the option to fold quite accurately on the river. The reality is that à river bet of 30k on the river to get raised to 90k-100k by Doug would make it impossible to fold.

[@woswasdenni1914]

its was a very good fold yes, amazong? no. with bottom full this is a bet fold spot. he polarized himself to force any trips into a bad spot, same time its really hard to bluff against that. so a reraise there almost always has you beat. i agree with polk that A9 would be a much better call than 33, however i disagree on that clear value raise with 77. while there not many suited combos out there, still more than half of your opponents valuerange ahs you beat. your opponent need specifically 33, A9s, 10-9s, J9s and maybe Q9s to call you here, everything else is either air or has you beat. so 77s on that baord are actually kinda dicy, and more of a very thin value raise. polarizing that much will fold out often 33, 9-10, adn q9. i think A9 is always a call with not no 93s combos only only a few 97s/k9s combos out there so he target A9 specifically if we consider our opponent can now fold the weaker ones. bluff catching isnt really that apealing as played, with that checkraise on the turn koon basically says he has a fullhouse or A9 at a minimum. with that said bluffing should be much less frequent, so bluffcatching even less.

[@Adam-bw7fv]

Doug, some minor feedback for you: I think it would be better/more suspenseful if you omit the size of the pot in the title? I was clearly interested in seeing what develops throughout this hand but knew Koon was folding on the river after seeing there was $309k in the pot after your river jam. I get the idea that listing the actual size of the pot probably gets you more clicks/views so if that's your priority then I understand. Maybe instead title it: I have SET OVER SET in a massive six figure pot! (or something similar).

[@RossAlexFlips]

Adam agree with you.

[@ianboylan1981]

I agree as well. It isn't a huge annoyance, but it does give away what the action is.

[@michaelgrillo5326]

He already said that he does that because in the internet world you need the click bait but maybe he should consider exaggerating. Call it a $403,000 pot, and when the fold happens we can all be "da fuk?" :)

[@rado9230]

Agree. Closest thing to a spoiler

[@luukverhoek4243]

Adam yeah agree. Knowing the outcome is boring

[@jeremyallen8955]

Great fold by Mr. Koon. He really has been world class for a long while though. True he doesn't beat many, if any hands Doug shoves for value there, it's still astonishing to see how high level these guys really are. Great hand.

[@drewf8619]

Good fold for sure... Not many players fold a boat vs Doug. That said, the king on the river (and the fact that he (Koon) overbet the river) makes a fold a *little* easier because if Doug had Kings, he would have played this the exact same way and AA or A9s would just fold or flat to an overbet... Although, it would be interesting to see if Koon could still get away if the river was a 2 (or the equivalent). For Koon to get away then, he has to put him on (almost) exactly 77.

[@clarksvillekid7177]

Good fold

[@RushGoal1Nil]

It's an easy fold

[@TankAssTanner]

@@drewf8619 I agree. Good fold, but the river overbet was the best play on JK's part. If someone bets over the top of it they have you beat 99% of the time. The overbet saved him a lot of money by removing any real chance of Doug polarizing at the end.

[@kkkkdidikddd9033]

[@quiksix25]

Best graphics I've seen on the hand info- very clear on what's going on

[@ArielHerzog]

The oversized bet lead on the river by Jason made it much easier to lay it down when he got raised since his range is so polarized. If he only bet half pot, Doug could see that at as a sign of weakness and Jason could justify a call since Doug may be making a move. But an overbet means that if Doug reraises he is basically never bluffing and of course he wouldn't do it unless he was full.

[@seankennedy4284]

"...some really great players MIGHT be able to lay this one down." Classy.

[@elastronaute1198]

I think its truly amazing koon didn't get stacked here, but I appreciate doug played it this way for balance overall. I think that's an important concept, this is like the best possible situation almost.

[@Alex-gb8em]

always love the Rounders reference

[@Badbentham]

Totally agree with most parts of the video. Only questions I have are about the size of the river reraise and Koon`s calling range for that price. Blocking bluffs with (J9s)/T9s/98s, the J being the least harmful, feels to -noobish- me about as ugly than not blocking K9s/97s ( 3 combos, after all!) with 33 ; - A9s, and the highly unlikely Q9s, is obv a very clear call. As basically all of J9s/T9s/98s/33 have a rather difficult time for the price, while we represent a pretty nutted range (we are after all at the very bottom end of our thin-value-squeezing here) , I could see a slightly smaller bet showing more benefit in the long term.

[@dking1975]

I enjoy the comme tary about what is going through Dougs Head during a hand. I myself may have bet 7-8k on the turn card but after listening to tour thoughts will interract that in my own game thanks

[@tutumassola]

Hey Doug! On the topic of your comment on the end about "great players might be able to fold this spot", Ike folded a fullhouse vs Maria in the shark cage last year if I'm not mistaken! Would be really cool to see you playing a heads up hand (or even a heads up no limit game...!) against him! Love ur vids, keep up the great work! :)

[@liebesaenliebeernten9418]

Doug, one suggestion: Instead of spoilering the actual size of the pot you'd do yourself as well as your viewers a huge favor if you instead took the potential effective combined stack sizes and thus potential pot size that might result on the felt. That way you're not spoilering whether the hand will be folded at a certain stage and you have the added benefit of the pot potentially being able to be much more huge than it actually was. I think that's a neat solution. Wondering what you think about that.

[@CribNotes]

"Doug, you're not the guy to fold full houses to, man". @18:00 love the looks on the other players faces as if "Did Koon just say what I think he said???"

5:50. Awesome synchronized check shuffling!

[@michaelkalustian7269]

2 thoughts here. Pro level fold by Koon. A lot of people can talk when they see the cards, but in the heat of battle, it would to fold a full house. The second thing is that it’s nice to see that Doug hasn’t forgotten the $5/$10 grinders like Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen now that he’s hit the big time. Many people forget their old friends once they reach a new level. Doug shows nice character and maturity by keeping close to his old mates. Good luck in the future Doug.

[@TheTTL1997]

I think the reason he is friends with neeme and brad is because they are all youtubers. I'm pretty sure doug wasnt friends with them before they made a name for themselves with their vlogs, but its still nice that he is friends with them. I just wouldnt call them "old friends"

[@sneakytucky]

Doug, do we have any bluffs here at the river? Im not sure what bluffs we call OTT and then raise OTR or are we raising a hand that can't win if we call? great video, the A9 call over the boat with 33 is a great analysis, tyvm

[@ninovalentijn]

he named 73s at the end of the analysis. that's like half a combo though considering 73s is mostly gonna be a check or bet-fold on the turn. I think K7s works really well too but again that's a marginal turn bet-call

[@MrAndersonmm]

I really can't think of many combos. K7s and 73s are the only combos I can think of. Normally I'd say your weaker trips, but weak trips block straight cards (69, 89, T9, J9) and Q9+ is probably too profitable just calling since your opponent has all of those hands. A7s maybe?

[@MBMASTR]

What about TT, it blocks possible bluffcathers T9 combos.

[@MrAndersonmm]

When you're bluffing, you want to not have cards you want your opponent to have. TT blocks T8 and JT, both hands you'd like your opponent to have. On this board any 6, 8, T or J is a bad card to have since it blocks the most likely bluff hands from your opponent (straight draws). Since it's hard to get to this river without those cards in your hand yourself, unless you have a monster, it's hard to have too many bluffs.

[@MBMASTR]

Ok then what about 1 combo of AA with ace of heart and Ace of spade. Blocking A9s. It is better bluffcatcher i guess, just trying to thing about bluffs. But if i thing about good bluffs if we dont have ones the bluffs can make propably better profit if he is overfolding there.

[@jamesbell1613]

Great analysis on the turn! You can also min raise the turn with J4 off and call s jam...

[@mekan0001]

Andrew Neeme knows what's up.

[@neil2920]

but he wouldn't be able to fold as JaKoon did

[@oyuyuy]

Pretty generous to say that Koon has 3 combos that beat you. I don't think neither 99 nor 97s is in his range.

[@hollywoodpoker9512]

Howd you feel when he said, “well I have a full house” and you only beat 1 boat lol

[@nicks210684]

There’s not many better boats that are credible though. KK is never played is this way. 93 definitely folds preflop. So I guess the only two hands you’d be worried are the suited combos K9 spades and 97 spades. And I think even those hands would be questionable preflop calls from the small blind with two more blinds left to act. But even still there’s two combos that beat you and three you beat.

[@jasonmarlow2147]

A better boat would have insta-called so I’d feel pretty good still.

[@LoLleavemealonePLZ]

@@nicks210684 9 3 suited might be one to go with preflop, in the small or big blind, as you're already invested in the pot, and you might as well see a flop (who knows, maybe you flop a flush or flush draw, as well as the potential for two pair). I tend to play any suited cards if I'm in the small or big, so long as it hasn't been raised up massively. Saying that, I did call an all in preflop earlier today with 7 2 suited and won the hand with a pair of 2s so my credibility isn't the best

[@truetrue2963]

Atleast he felt better after laying it down the comfort of knowing he was beat I mean the way Polk played he could have figured he didn’t have the 9 didn’t have 9 3 from his perspective or 9 7. You made it a little easier for him jamming he couldn’t call that much

[@brett7011]

[@loduk102]

[@charlesmondon1803]

Ooh the recent memories when I got stacked a month ago in a 1-2 game! I had 33 against a very undervalued AA on a 223AQ board. Still feel the pain.

[@kylemuchow9198]

His sizing on the river is good because he completely polarized his opponent if he gets raised. if he bets 30 k on the river and polk raises to 80-120k he likely makes the call

[@reecelightner]

Doesn’t that river card hurt and that’s why it would be best to re-raise the turn? You have a lot of 9’s in your range and you have a better chance to get stacks in.

[@mixedman841]

I really like your bet size on the turn and logic behind it. I also perfer just calling the raise since your in position. Out of position i'd say reraise and bomb the river. King was a lttle scary though. He could have taken that line with kings I suppose, although the early action pretty much reads that he doesn't have Kings because I doubt he doesn't raise preflop and check the flop on that board unless he's running some kind of trap or simply balancing his range. But yeah smash the river either way IMO.

[@209brandonb]

How does he fold to doug

[@bigtexnick2188]

Because unless Doug is making a super crazy bluff, his bet on the river proves that he must have Koon beat and is not making that move with a worse hand.

[@cp9105]

he has plenty of jj-qq and aa to bluff with

[@twelvetwelvetwelve1212]

[@The31JOEISANERDS]

I think this is the first hand i've seen you include which isn't Aces or Kings

[@mrcomment6644]

Did you raise him all in on the river? Or were stack sizes listed incorrectly? Don't you think a smaller raise would be better OTR to 130k seeing as there is not too many worse hands you can get value from ? would you bluff any hands with this line other than maybe 73s?

[@jodyfayant2071]

Amazing analysis but a larger bet on the flop gets way more of his chips if not all. I get the theory though for the small sizing, thx.

[@joshuahoggard6257]

Doug, the river play seems counter intuitive! Why wouldn't K7 of spades be a a better bluff? Surely this is the best hand since it blocks 77 & eliminates K9 which is the certain calling range & 33 can be in the value folding range. So blocking a 3 becomes closer to mutual V Koon. When you tiny bet the flop & turn wouldn''t K7 be in your range or is it folding to the check raise? And over-pairs are calling? To pot control & check the turn with a K7 after the flop action (+ Preflop) seems mental. Very strange hand. Koon is only really representing 33. Since you would expect like K9 T9 to 3 bet most of the time. Therefore, Koon is surely folding most hands in his range? Correct? Koon calling with 77+? Only calling with a 9 seems questionable, Since couldn't you add A9 into your range? Get called by more combos of 9s and get occasionally full houses to fold? 6 cpmbos of 77 (+ 0.5 of a combo of K9) you will lose to but you will beat more 9s if Koon sticks to calling trips.Assuming all suited 9s flat preflop.

[@truthsmiles]

Wow I must actually be learning something... I was calculating card removal on the turn before Doug even mentioned it. I'm sure I'd still find a way to go broke though.

[@kookoo275]

5:15 both players playing with their chips in sync

[@joshuapatrick682]

Could you ever turn trips into a bluff here if he’s bet folding full houses or should that just always be a call?

[@jacksondickery509]

Where is the spot in this game???

[@Joseph-ny5rr]

Death row lineup 😂 there is no spot in this game.

[@Unlikely_Hero]

I respect this fold though. I think he can put Doug on pretty much 77s, or an out of character huge-balls bluff.. perhaps KK, but most likely 77. The way the play went I think he showed some sense and discipline to make the fold in any case with a boat. It's one of those moments when you have to think, the board is paired, is this raise real? -- FML-FOLD. Well done both. Doug I don't mind your raise-size (if it's a shove sorry I don't have sound on). Thanks for the hand broseph!

[@dochmbi]

Poker is a platonist game played in the true world of ideas. The greatest players know this and are not concerned with the this-worldly individual hands but rather with range and strategy construction. The funny thing is that at the lowest level players ignore others and only think of their own strategy, at the highest level too its the same.

[@Sgt.Gamble]

Strong Double Chin action from Polk probably the reason for the fold on the river by Koon

[@manifestyourlife6]

Sick lay down by Koon, though I'm sure he too thought of what hands he doesn't block.

[@JeoJetsonmusic]

I think it’s a pretty straightforward fold in that spot. Can you tell us why you didn’t make your bet look more like a bluff? Because at least in my opinion that Bet looked like you were betting for value and what hands Bet for value on that board? Now I could be wrong here but it seems like no matter what considering that line that you took he should always fold pocket 3s

[@jolaz69]

Doug, I think you could have extracted more money with a raise on the turn to say $45k. That might tell the story that you have a hand like A9 and could lead to re-raise where you get stacks in right there. The pot size raise on the river screams of a full house (or less likely a bluff) and 33 only beats a bluff there.

[@1chance4life76]

wow nice hand and nice laydown! Makes me wonder though if you made river raise to like 149k or 95k to call if it would open up a wider range of calling hands like mabye even A9 or better, the K on the river he might not of even repop it with k9 cause the smaller raise would make him think you might have quads for value or maybe even kks full

[@ww2079]

When he check raised you on the turn it's soooo likely he has the 9 ( or smaller boat) that you can reraise there and not lose him often. It's like what hand is he check raising that turn with? A straight draw on a paired board? There's no flush draw. So you almost always have him coolered there when he check-raises you on the turn, no reason to get cute, just try to get it in there, ace or king on the river maybe he finds a big fold for a ton of blinds thinking you got to a higher boat on the river and doesn't lose all his chips. He's never folding on the turn.

Ok so the king hit the river You got check raised on the turn so he's repping trip 9 or better there. Then you raise him on the river when the king hits. You're repping Kings full really only here. He knows u have a bigger boat or a stone bluff. I have it paused let's see if he calls, obv he does becasue ur capable of the bluff.

[@ww2079]

Wow he folded the monster on the river. Yep easy fold for him the way it played out. You either have Kings full or nothing and he didn't think you had nothing the way the hand played. You needed to rerasie on the turn. Then you prolly get all his chips. You won just about the minimum here.

[@ww2079]

It's like you just have to let the cooler happen. Assume he's got ace 9 or 33 there on that turn and reraise him. That's how u get all his chips and win a monster pot. You cant get too cute or the chips don't get it. If you reraise that turn you put him in an insanely tough spot. Let that spot happen, too much trapping blocked your chance at winning a monster pot. Rerasie the turn in this exact spot every time should be your advice, and you should be saying you didn't play the hand optimally, especially considering the texture of the board on the turn. So likely you had him coolered when he check raises u there.

14:20 try to stack 33 or 77? So many questions. What are the odds that my opponent has the fifth seven in his hand? How does he get stacked when he calls? Is it because he has a fouled hand, meaning that sometimes one of his sevens is also the seven of hearts, and he forfeits the pot?

[@nicolarossini1938]

stupid question: After Koon check raised on the turn, in his position would have not been maybe more coherent to check river? in case Polk was bluffing? Or in his mind you risk to loose too many value from hand that might check behind since you just called pre flop? if someone more advance than me could clarify this would be amazing for me thanks a lot in advance

By the time he was 5 he had his first fauxhawk, by 15 he was getting lessons from the grand master David Beckham. Now he is one of the world's greatest and has begun training his own acolytes of the hair wax.

@Doug Polk Poker 16:20 - “9 3 suited is not very likely”. Actually 9 3 suited is not possible for your range to have, so its an impossibility

[@blee5100]

Why?

[@eagleslandin1692]

jjj hhh what combos of 93 suited are possible? None.

[@blee5100]

why?

[@eagleslandin1692]

jjj hhh from Koon’s perspective, he blocks 9 3 of clubs and hearts. 9 3 of diamond is not possible. Therefore, he can NEVER have 93 suited in this position

[@blee5100]

I think he's speaking from his own perspective during the hand

[@krishall3187]

Well played Doug and thought threw commentary.. I thought the river raise for value was way to big though.

[@Janet_Airlines802]

So now that you are playing again will we see the return of polker hands?

[@Roman-cv2pd]

It looks like the pot size raise on the river is effectively putting Koon all in. Maybe that’s why he gets away along with his read on Doug’s potential hands of course. But let’s say Doug raises 2.5x on the river to 125k, would Koon still fold or would he get max value? Even as silly as it sounds min raising here would definitely get a call since he’s getting like 4:1. Thoughts guys??

[@RodgerRamjet]

love the breakdown analytics... yea,, its easier to wrap your head around a fold, and not really look at the board as a full house, but, what do you beat with what Doug is repping here..i have to wonder if A9s was in his thought process, as that was a serious possible hand for Doug.. K9.. i dont think he ( doug) bets as big, and i DO think Doug over bet.. i think he raises to $115K.. he gets a call.. maybe a reshove but at least a call, thinking AK was trying a semi bluff, or A9s.. etc.. just a thought..

[@Johnsir88]

But wouldn't you turn trips into a bluff occasionally in this spot? Would unblocking your straight-draw cards be best?

[@josephmasko6099]

I am curious why k9 spades was only option. I’m not really poker smart but I’m guessing he wouldn’t be in from the beginning with k9 off?

[@mioszsiedlecki9185]

You give him 2:1 so he needs to be right 33% of the time. So you have to bluffing 33% of the time. You have 19 combo value (KK/99/77/K9s/K9o/97s/97o) so you need to have around 9 combo of bluffs. What hands would you choose to bluff with? JTs and 73s it's 5 combo, guessing some JTo some % of the time?

[@oyuyuy]

Isn't it better to raise 77 on the turn on that board? The raise on the river looks way too strong imo. It's easier to rep a bluff on the turn.

[@connorcrump3825]

Well if the K didn't come on the river it would have made it easier as well

[@ianboylan1981]

Well played from you both there. Great hand to watch. I've only been able to fold 2 full houses in my life, both were easy folds though, not like this fold. I had 3 jacks and a queen paired on the river, my opponent was a nit who never bet the river unless they had it, so I dumped my Jacks full(they then showed a queen for a higher queens full). Another I had hit a set of 9's and the board paired on the end(2 kings) with a queen also on the board, and again, nit player who never raised, unless they had the nuts or second nuts. Knew they had king queen and threw the cards away in an instant. 😂😂

[@bradleylauterbach2415]

I love how nobody is talking about how that guy got away from 3's full of 9's. Was there a tell? Dude made a MONSTER lay down.

How have I missed this video. THIS IS FUNNY AND GENIUS
