MASSIVE CHIP STACKS In This $9,000,000 Poker Game!

[@scottoshea9440]

I see Texas Mike has been studying Eric Persson game footage.

[@curthennig9448]

Many hours too!

That first hand was one of the easiest folds I’ve seen, 50/50 a coin flip or crushed. He needs the DONTPUNT course.

[@joeltroughton3021]

Ya but he was also the guy who succeeded in bluffing with10/2 vs but straight

[@ewallt]

@@joeltroughton3021 I don’t think there was much skill in that, except keeping a good poker face. It looked like he got a Brunson and decided to run with it come what may. It didn’t appear there was any strategic thought involved.

[@ptantonioalves]

​@@joeltroughton3021 working or not, it was a punt

[@PurpleLions]

Texas Mike plays like their tournament chips. High VPIP doesn’t mean lots of bluffing. It seemed like every hero call got shown the goods in this game.

[@Uncle_Troy]

A lot of the loose calls made from within the biggest pots of the week were basically the tail end of some poorly played hands overall.

[@igortolstov487]

Especially with Peter. Bro hasn’t bluffed once, and people still calling him every time

[@levijaroslaw9571]

@@igortolstov487fr bruh peter had the nuts every fucking hand and everyone just kept paying him off had me tight

[@NishantKumar-pv3tf]

@@levijaroslaw9571 Peter's usual image is he always bluffs like crazy, he pretty much has had the same playstyle and image as keating, it was just crazy that he had so many nutted hands during this week against some pretty decent hands of the opponents as well.

Thanks for another video Doug!

[@TheStockAlchemist]

You'd think Doug would invest $20 for a decent mic. Nope, still using the cereal box mic. I didn't even know they put mics in cereal boxes. I guess I learned something.

[@BSweetVideos]

Doug - lol glad my face and tweet made it to this video. Love Texas Mike and wish we got to see you play more in the MDG!

[@GeorgeZacharopoulos]

This Thomas guy might as well have worn a balaclava.

[@EvertfromNederland]

When I saw that KQ shove on the river against Keating he might as well just cover his entire head and face with a bear rug he's not paying attention anyway.

He was crazy action at least

[@MrTargetU]

Best action at HCL since JRB slurped his wine

[@NeoColormadness]

GREAT CONTENT. I am new to this game and from what I have learned calling a bet and then calling a 3Bet with Q9o is generally not a good move, is Texas Mike that good that he can play these hands profitably or is this just the definition of what not to do? I always get confused because in my head these people are supposed to be decent at the game?

[@phrog6073]

every one of these players except tom are complete whales, dont watch hustlers to improve your game lol

[@dustyguadian7570]

It’s not good to call at lower stakes. A lot of these guys are rec players with unlimited bankroll . Texas Mike is just filthy rich

Does Brandon’s Richard Mille play? Or is it just the chips

[@dok599]

Good vid as always but I think lacking some analysis in a few spots such as Texas Mike’s River decision for $200k more with 65o vs Keating. U seem to go really in depth on some parts of the hands and then glaze over other important parts

[@j.f.7576]

Whats the inside info on why Thomas was concealing his identity?

[@upmagic]

BRUTAL run-outs for Texas Mike. I mean lose 3 coinflips or so for 1.5M+ USD, lose 2 TT hands preflop after you jam for 1.1M$, just gross...

[@Yeoldelole]

the poor dear..... we should feel so terrible for him

[@stinger15au]

I think the idea should not be putting in $1mil preflop on a 50/50 that he didn't even know was a 50/50. If we are doing that might as well go down to the roulette table.

[@lukenuke8991]

Doug doing hand analysis again, nature is healing boys 😌

[@twicenightley]

Why Doug sound like he about to call in an airstrike?

[@ecb0628]

Why couldn't Brandon re-raise small versus just Q9 on the flop in the first hand? Why was that option eliminated?

[@ianmcclory9297]

I agree with the mic situation there are plenty better to choose from anyway Texas Mike although he’s great for the game it was inevitable that a bad day could be disastrous for him as he does like the fast and loose style and today that’s unfortunately what the poker gods had in mind for him and Keating was the person to receive the Texas Mike windfall oh well !!

[@Yeoldelole]

Have you ever heard of punctuation?

[@Wildest_Wahoo]

In the Keating Vs Texas Mike hand - 5h8h is the “stone cold nuts”. You just said it multiple times in the hand that Keating’s Ace Jack was the nuts. When in fact it does lose to the two possible straight flushes.

[@sargambrown9185]

less likely ina 3 bet pot to have exactly that combination

[@Wildest_Wahoo]

@sargambrown9185 Yes I know that it’s obviously LESS likely. Doesn’t mean that 58s isn’t the absolute nuts. And that AKh is the 3rd nuts. Regardless of if it’s likely or not likely. Texas Mike is holding 65o or whatever. So 58s isn’t too far off and could easily be in this psychos range. He’s Texas Fucking Mike.

Mike must have a lot of money. Called for 588k when only committed 100k in the pot, while holding top pair with a Q kicker. i don't know what was he hoping for. The best case scenario is he's up against A5 of spade, and it's also a flip.

[@boomshakalaka8655]

Looks like they are teaming against dwan. NAw 4b the AQ if an A flops you wont get anymore money by calling pre. 100bb pot its just a jam. If he has AK and A flops you lose anyways and if he has 99-JJ at least you stack him hitting A. Deeper call pre but 100bbs meh. Dwan still down 500k. It seems like every pot he plays there 3 going against him and he can't really do much.
