Running like that with JJ for 3 days is absurd. Dream run. Awesome, man.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

It’s nice when variance is on your side.

[@tomcampbellchm]

Mighty fine run Doug. Thank you for sharing your thought process as you progressed.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks Tom, always good to see you at Capitol.

[@TheGreat1Four20]

Cool content Doug, I was watching while I was brewing some Merlot in my guest bathrooms toilet which I been working real hard on as of late and was very entertained, thanks a bunch.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks for watching!

[@Ggoodlad1]

Holy cow you were zeroed in, Doug! FABULOUS reads and analysis! Yes, you missed value on the JJ hand at 5:20, but I only say that to prove i was paying attention😁. Another excellent vlog- thank you, sir! Hi to Zeus and wish me luck in Iowa this Thursday at the MSPT.💰✌

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Good luck! I felt I was playing well and getting hit by the deck. It’s a hard combo to beat.

[@jasoncolclazier2073]

That's some run good!! Good sessions, vacation, and car finally fixed!! Congrats!!!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Good things come in threes. 😀

[@jasoncolclazier2073]

Hope it doesn't end there!!

[@starfish5653]

You know you're in a good game when someone flats/folds queens on a safe board!! Enjoyed the vlog and your commentary.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

I was surprised he folded, it was a perfect board for his hand.

[@HuggiePoker]

Those look like Texas numbers! Love to see it, nice win Doug!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Action games in SacTown!

[@jasonhuffman1549]

Watching your Vlogs have taken my game to the next level at Cap Been playing cards for over 25 years but never would use “Max Pressure” aka All In Thanks Doug can’t wait to be on the felt with you And I owe Zeus a nice Steak

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Happy you are enjoying the vlog, I’m normally playing Monday thru Wednesday during the day. Hope to play with you someday as well.

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

Love your vlogs, especially when you win. Glad you had extra cash to pay for Tesla repairs!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Yeah, I need to run good just for the repairs 😫

[@timshaw5963]

Nice to run good 👍 but you also played well! Win, lose or draw your vlogs never disappoint. Happy the parts came in and the Tesla is back on the road.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks, been working hard to play as solid as possible. Tesla was nice to give me a loaner car for a few months while waiting for the battery pack. It’s sure nice to have my car back.

[@ronlamaster9301]

Great Vlog Doug! What a Sun Run and pocket JJ where good to you on that run. Keep up the good work!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Caught the right hands at the right time.

[@daveryan1794]

Pure winning congratulations great Vlog Doug

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks 😀

[@Ggoodlad1]

Glad to see your increased aggression level too. Yes, it was rewarded with a hot deck, but you will rock this (most) other days too! Keep up the run good!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks Geoff, trying hard to be selectively aggressive at the right time. The only issue I may have is finding the right time. 😀

[@Justinnmoonn1]

Damn nice session! I love the aggression in this vlog, really shows that you know when to put the money in and force players to make harder decisions, kudos to the win

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Easy to play aggressively when the deck is hitting you. There were hands that didn’t make the vlog where I was able to escape bad situations without too much bloodshed. Selective aggression was the key.

[@DesertBowler]

Thanks for inviting me to play with you! Also, thanks for inviting me to sit and chat with you as well as buying me lunch! Definitely was the highlight of my trip up to Sacramento. Can’t wait to get the chance to meet up again. Good luck and keep playing well!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

I enjoyed our lunch as well, I’m kinda glad we didn’t mix it up in a big pot.

[@DesertBowler]

@@dougmccuskerpoker they way you were running that week, I am glad I didn’t mix it up with you either.

[@flyzfw]

Hey Doug! Randy from Dallas, glad you had a great vacation got the car back. Thanks for including me in the 100th vlog a while back, gonna make the trip out again soon I hope. I love all the river run good in this one, take care friend! (I’ll probably change my screen name again until I find one I really like, let me know if you have any suggestions.)

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Let me know when you’re out here again, hopefully we can play together again.

[@robs4530]

played great and awesome results....great vlog congrats

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Easy to play good when the deck hits you. I managed to dodge some nasty spots not on the vlog, so pleased with my overall game.

[@JohnSmith-ml2zr]

Glad to see you running good Mr. Doug I still watch every vlog you put out and it’s definitely helping my game. I play in Houston Texas and it’s Texas poker action action action nobody likes to fold Especially preflop lol. Be looking forward to the next vlog stay safe and hope you continue to run good 👍

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Thanks for supporting the channel and I’m happy it has helped your game. Someday I will make it to Texas.

[@michaelholland7738]

Sun running!! Great run Doug!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Doesn’t happen often, but it sure feels good.

[@helenrachel1479]

Great run Doug especially the J on the river 👌

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Yeah, that felt especially good after he said he had overs.

[@FletchVids]

first time viewer here, love the videos. You played well and are a humble player.

My local place pretty much only plays 1/2 but plays much higher. I’ve been on a huge run good. Won $6600 the past 5 sessions. Feels awesome

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Wow, that’s amazing! When the low limit games are that good, there is no need to play bigger.

I like the poker art behind you (above your couch) at the beginning. Cool. I think I've seen it before. Btw, now when you are winning so much, can Zeus get something else to eat than just leftovers? Give him a steak!!!

Hey Doug I play at fortune casino near Tukwila Washington. This is a great casino and clean, it has 4-8, 1-3, 3-5, and 20-40 limit.

Great 👍🏻

Thanks

[@davideckman3569]

Just curious why you chose the seat change early on the first day? The guy's seat you changed to just lost an all-in to you... Nice vlog, I regularly watch!

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Vlogging from the end seats work best, get a full view of the table.

[@philiptucker7590]

Guy with the KQ hand probably had one of those suited Kx with a lower suited 2nd card. It’s pretty common these days for people to call with any suited king hand. It’s the poor man’s suited Ax hand people play that can possibly make the nut flush. He definitely had a king with a smaller 2nd pair

[@easymoney7007]

Never matters how ya play, just as long as ya Run Good. Then ya always feel like ya played great, haha.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Run good cures bad play, made some small errors, but most hands were GTO solver approved.

[@nat2r]

Woooo

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

Running good feels great.

[@mikepomerants2901]

Great video Doug, have you been watching the Main Event at all?

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

I watched some, been on vacation for the last week, spent most of my time just relaxing on the beach in Mexico.

[@notNaB2024]

Hey Doug, wondering if you considered a raise for value to like $125 on the AdKd hand when the BB led into you on the flop?

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

I did consider raising, been doing a lot of solver study and I felt flatting in position was best.

[@notNaB2024]

@@dougmccuskerpoker thanks Doug. I really enjoy your content. I am an amateur poker player at best.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

@@notNaB2024 raising what is likely the best hand is never awful if you are prepared to go with it. Sometimes it is easier to get value when an opponent over plays his hand.

[@JamSamJackx]

Enjoying the videos. I see you have a lot of poker books, have you read them all? Any recommendations for intermediate player?

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

I read them all several times. The Course is a good one. Recommend to players at all levels.

[@nat2r]

Solver.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

@@nat2r I use an app that a viewer recommended called SolverPlus. Not an actual solver, but gives accurate estimations of solver lines. For an actual solver, I hear Pio Solver is the way to go but I haven’t used it.

[@nat2r]

@@dougmccuskerpoker Just downloaded it. Appears to be a big database of pre-solved spots from PIO which should be good enough for all intents and purposes. The design of the app, however, is quite non-intuitive and although it can give you an idea of the ideal line for a particular hand it doesn't appear to be particularly well suited for learning theory.

[@dougmccuskerpoker]

@@nat2r I agree, doesn’t teach why, it only shows what.

[@racermike1946]

WELL, THAT $2700 WIN TAKES SOME OF THE PAIN AWAY FROM THE BAD BEATS & LOSING SESSIONS😂
