Top 10 Jungleman vs Doug Polk Hands ($200/$400)

The high stakes poker player known as Jungleman (Daniel Cates) strolled into Doug Polk's home turf, The Lodge Card Club, for a cash game challenge. A Texas Showdown. The game: $200/$400 No Limit Hold'em with a $50,000 initial buy-in. If either player loses their $50,000 or even dips below it, he may rebuy for any amount at any time. Will "Deputy Dan" come away from his trip to Austin with a victory? Will "Sheriff Doug" keep the title at home? This highlight reel from the match answers those questions with all of the biggest pots and boldest plays included.

Great game, great commentary - a quality stream, thanks gents!

[@LionAndALamb]

At 8:35, look at Jungleman's face as he can barely suppress a smile at the $18k bluff he's thinks he's about to get through on Doug, then watch as the smirk slowly turns into a frown as Doug uses his fancy Canadian maths to talk himself into a call.

[@mitchbmx]

Huge missed opportunity for Jungle to be "Dirty Dan" here

[@synchronium24]

Is Dirty Dan more of a Weenie Hut General or Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat kinda guy?

Good to see Vanessa playing at the lodge!!!

GG Doug. He ran better than Jungle on this day. 2 awesome characters. Jungleman is always entertaining!

Ya'll look like the guys from Village People playing poker.

[@fergalmcardle7222]

17:45 Jungle mentions he would likely call the previous hand with KQ. Really KQ would have been nothing (king high), and he actually gives away what he is currently holding this hand.

[@chriswilson1968]

Jungle seems to be outplaying him until he gets coolered or sucked out on.

[@keithkelso9872]

I agree

I hate the running it more then once. But, if you do keep it an odd number. Running it twice like this is almost guaranteed split.

Jungle really got lucky he could have easily lost 200 or 300 but got the cards he needed gg men I enjoyed this!

[@tommyrjensen]

Seeing Jungle open by sucking at a water bottle, why did they not each get a bottle filled with apple juice and with an Old Kentucky label stuck on? Also next match: Ali - a horse thief Doug - the hangman

[@jacksonlin7126]

When was this?

[@Shipdacheese]

Was this the end or will it continue in the future?

[@ivanwong8281]

Just two skilled players battling it out while having fun, beautiful

[@beorlingo]

With AA vs QQ I figure running it once or three times would be what to do. Either digest a lucky Q or get the lion part. To offer a freeroll to chop seems not what I want to do.

[@frame-perfectadskip9159]

wat

[@frame-perfectadskip9159]

They decide how many times to run it before the first runout... obviously

[@beorlingo]

@@frame-perfectadskip9159 ofc.

[@michaell8624]

@@beorlingo your "offer a freeroll to chop" comment doesn't make any sense.

[@afrochickenboy]

@@michaell8624 makes perfect sense. Once or 3 times seems like the best play when you have the aces, run it 3 times there's a chance they'll spike a q on one board, but you'll most likely take 66% of the pot down, if not full pot, usually never 33% or none. So running it 3 times is pure profit, running twice you either hold on both, or chop (usually) and that chance to chop eats your profits. One time is always best bc you got great odds to make full profit. 2 times does seem like a freeroll to chop, when 3 times at least usually gives you profit (Not going on math btw, what I said probably doesnt hold up with equity and all that, just going on logic)

[@undergreenthunder8037]

I saw this hand live and I remember them running it twice... big suprise it was a chop.

Your graphics are horrible. I can't tell the difference between a spade or a club

[@iamamish]

I always wonder what motivates players like these to play these big games. Doug obviously has extra incentives here due to owning The Lodge, but what's in it for Jungle? Both these guys are so good that any edge you could possibly have has to be razor thin. Throw in the huge luck variance and I conclude there isn't much EV here. I guess maybe they do it because they're bored.

[@KaliAndy2]

Why do billionaires play poker? Has nothing to do EV or making money. Its for the challenge. Same with best players in the world, sometimes they rather play the best instead of beating up on shitty regs.

[@wesleyb1458]

because they enjoy it and its not that easy to find a heads up game at these stakes. Jungle loves himself some nose bleed stakes heads up

[@mrsalt548]

Because poker is fun

@@mrsalt548 yeah naturally but it's fun because you think you have a good chance at winning.
