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.

A little out of left field... One of things I love most about this channel is the silence and the commentators just letting the hands play out with full tension. From 2:10, there was 30 seconds of no one talking - I love that, and it puts you a cut above other poker channels. Thanks.

Taras showed him the kings and bulldog was having an inner panic attack eyes blinked and he swallowed twice back to back

[@kingkreole9121]

Well spotted. I mean I'd do exactly that holding my breath. That is always what happens to me. 3:44 first swallow reflex when know you are beat. Taras "yeah it would be a wrong to always fold". 5:05 another gulp. Lol.

[@scrubfive9239]

Yeah I saw that, I'd be having a damn panic attack too thinking I was value betting J's for $80,000 targeting 10's then Taras sits there and tanks with KK lol

[@JonCookeBridge]

@@scrubfive9239odd combo to bet the river with. The chat can’t decide if it was value or a bluff.

[@Nycblasian]

Live tells for sure.

[@18000rpm]

@6:56 Tesla shoved and got called and announced "nuts" when Bulldog had the actual nuts 🤣

[@theflixcapacitor1372]

The nuts is the best possible hand and neither had it. 4 queens beat a full house.

[@OG_Helldiver]

⁠@@theflixcapacitor1372Bulldog actually does have the nuts here, given that quad queens is impossible for someone else to have

[@18000rpm]

@@theflixcapacitor1372 when you have QJ you have the nuts because nobody else can have quads to beat you. Do you even poker bro?

[@siavashsabet2462]

When you have a player to put 200k in the pot, thinking he has the nuts, you wonder why aren’t you on that table.

[@pridemyselfwithnontrolling5230]

Taras might be the best player I've seen in this poker lodge channel. Always seems to make the right call and when to fold. Tesla and moe money are the worst players By the way wearing sunglasses during a game is such a fish move lol. Look like a jackass

[@thomass2962]

Saying "Nuts" when there are 7 possible hands better than yours is hilarious 🤣

[@pandabearguy1]

Anything better than 1 pair is the absolute, stone cold, ultra nuts in my book

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks. 👊🏼✌🏻

[@PerfectMantra]

Taras is a nice guy an a pretty solid Poker player..

[@jjarm]

I agree.

[@brianpotter2812]

He definitely was a fish/whale to start with (especially when he played against Brad Owen), but he has studied and plays MUCH better than he has

[@JohnnyV123]

I see so many comments crapping on Taras but he seems to make a lot of great plays

[@AJ2132]

no he doesn't dude is the very definition of a bingo player

[@NeiltheDeal]

It’s easy when you’re playing against other Texas players

[@makemoney3282]

There’s a very thin line between looking great & looking borderline insane

[@Will_Moffett]

I think Taras is quickly getting better. Hes taking advantage of a very expensive education.

[@spades9048]

Pretty easy to play poker when it isn’t your money or you can see all the cards - even easier when it’s both.

[@onlyfoolriding8223]

Why are we trying to bluff a calling station?

[@JCCOOLDOWN]

Weird how your allowed to show the hand mid decision. Should be only at the end or muck

[@jyyyb]

Tesla ,” I got the nuts” 😂😂😂😂

[@JonCookeBridge]

First hand, Taras saying it would be wrong to always fold is interesting. If he decides he should fold KK some chunky percentage of the time, he has the worst combo to call with, not blocking either KQs combo. Basically, he was either always calling or, more likely, he decided the guy looked like he was bluffing.

[@ZoKitchen]

Better luck next time my love Tesla 😊

[@jefferykleinsmithj9611]

What a great feeling to see Tesla lose 😂

[@brianpotter2812]

I would love to see Taras' +/- since this stream started and how he has been doing these last few months compared to when he began. He's been playing MUCH better.

[@AJ2132]

How do you expect to get a read on someone if all you look at is the cards on the table lol

[@willlinke2849]

Wow these numbers are mind blowing. More money changes hands in ten minutes than ive made in the last ten lifetimes

[@Thisisaweirdthing2makeusdo]

Doug would of scooped 😂 Taras played that just like AK ❤

[@energyequilibrium]

Taras has the movement of a 90 year old man

[@brianpotter2812]

He was drunk and it was late

[@gheffz]

Green shirt... Super Doug.

Taras could have a better pair and trap him

[@JusRozYo]

⁠@@keyboardmanyoutube3189what better pair 😪

[@ctnelsoncar]

Why not bet turn with kings😂 he will not bet river then

[@woswasdenni1914]

brutal spot. only bluff thats left is J9 as KJ is blocked heavy. anything else is better. jacks is the only logical thing that you can beat here

[@JonCookeBridge]

And you don’t block either KQs combo. That said, if he’s turning JJ into a bluff, why not 99 or 88? I’m actually not convinced the bettor knew he was bluffing. It’s weird not to check decide on that river with that particular hand.

[@michealruss728]

This is intense. Time to out poker on Hugewin?

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Gotta love Poker at the lodge

[@jyyyb]

Just call and take the possible pain

[@jyyyb]

The only nuts Tesla has is numb

[@yolodo8886]

Is Bulldog bluffing or valuebetting with JJ? In both scenarios I can‘t think of a hand he is targeting with that sizing. 🤔🤔🤔

[@ozdenozdogan2494]

I was thinking the same. It is obviously a showdown value hand and since he can win against AK and bluffs, didnt get the betting motivation.

[@brianpotter2812]

He was putting Taras on AK when Taras c-bet flop and checked turn (now w/ 2 broadway cards on board, most players will pot control or give up on the bluffing so they can keep their equity with the gutter draw)

[@DKNZ7]

Tesla lmao.....

[@johnnguyen6469]

Doug with the cowardly fold

[@rajaramramaswamy6560]

He’s a big nit , is what they say

[@brianpotter2812]

@@rajaramramaswamy6560 DOUG??? a NIT!!?!?!?! NO he just realized that a 4-bet that puts him in a situation where he could possibly call that and then have to deal w/ a 5-bet from Bulldog makes him realize he's probably not good and correctly folded.

Change his name to Bullfish
