The Lodge Card Club is a members-only social club in Round Rock, Texas (just north of Austin). With 24/7 cash games and 2+ tournaments per day, The Lodge is THE place to play poker in central Texas. The Lodge Live is streamed every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 3PM CT.
You never know what you might see on The Lodge Live stream. You might see Pocket Aces vs Pocket Kings. You may see the nut straight lose to a full house after the board pairs on the river. There's a good chance you will see loads of straddles (and double straddles, and triple straddles). Players go all-in blind or play poker hands after looking at just one card. That's just what poker is like in Texas!
The stream regularly features Lodge owners Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Doug Polk. Players like Rampage, Mariano, and Igor Kurganov has also graced The Lodge Live felt. And who knows? One day The Lodge may even host players like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, or similarly huge poker names.

Doug is the reason why the Lodge's players never want to play in different poker rooms. And if they do, they often lose like Efen. Alex is the one never leave the Lodge because this place is like his ATM.

idk... to me, lodge streams are boring... most players are not interesting at all. and players like taras are simply unlikable... the only time when lodge streams are interesting - when they have guest stars like airball, perkins, etc...

[@bernie4366]

Doug re-raises every hand preflop, and raises again when he gets re-raised even if it takes his whole stack. And he keeps getting his ass handed to him. I don't know when he came up with this brilliant strategy but I would probably rethink it at this point if I were him.

[@Chris-si4ox]

That’s an interesting 3-barrel in a 5-bet pot… so Doug reps AA & KK here … what does Alex do if turn is a T not the J I wonder … it’s probably a fold on river

[@nihaarshah7982]

yup

[@22cps_]

tbh like im not a doug fan or hater but he really needs to adjust his a4ss a5ss range against players like alex who will not only give action with the bottom of their range but always the top, so actually in theory especially out of pos you should just be calling to a 3 bet because 99% of the time alex isnt folding and ur going to be playing a larger pot out of POS against a sticky good player.

[@rd-pd8xb]

Doug Polk in a pot is like flopping a set: you’re either going to win big or lose big.
