Top 5 Pots Of My Poker Career (Featuring Isildur1)

[@restricted1171]

Your analysis of the AA v 89 hand was top notch Doug. Good job

[@itsyourgirlaly8718]

Restricted The board was gross and it was a great call.

[@mindaza0]

really? not many strong hands Isildur has? 86s, 66, A6s, 96s, K6s, 55, 77, A2s, TT, 75s, 44, T7s - that is a fuk ton of combos. Yet call OTR is fine

[@coyotes16]

mindaza0 66 and 55 don’t raise flop there. A set on that dry flop doesn’t raise the flop there either so eliminate all sets. Much less combos than that the way preflop action played out

[@bekeneel]

@@coyotes16 Can't be sure of all that, what you can be sure of tho is that Isildur is a loose and crazy player, so could easily have been a bluff, by missed flush or straight etc.. I believe, alltho it's dangerous that reraising on the flop would have been better cuz if isildur had no straight on the turn he probably folded there, otherwise you give your opponent a free ticket to the river and more chance to lose the pot ofc...

[@24magiccarrot]

In fairness to Malacesia there is every chance they never actually slow rolled you. For all you know they could have been sitting at the table all loosey goosey eating a sandwich before electing to call.

[@adminstrativeuser8930]

Everything you do at the poker table conveys information. Juanda had trips

[@DonkeyKongBMAC]

Maybe he had a cigarette dangling from his mouth

[@k_ralph9391]

In fairness to Malacesia, he slowrolled because he is alowed to do so! Every Bumhunter will still love to suck ahm play poker with him :).

[@craigflick927]

24magiccarrot.....carrots this...there is no justice. ..look at POStle

[@rjhoward7006]

that's what a slow roll is

[@zzzzz77771]

You`re a natural at this KZbin thing, Doug. I`m only a casual player but i`m enjoying your uploads. You`re good at this.

[@danieldies3147]

hahaha a lambo on the river

[@Goscratchyourself]

almost 5 years after you made this i have learned alot in the last few months of watching you. with a solid balance im not just winning. hopefully in another year or two ill have a hand on this channel. god speed

[@opcinf3612]

Wow Doug, i was tilted after today's session and your video changed my mood completly. Seeing how you telling a story about being slowrolled in a 400k pot with a smile on your face is incredible. You are always so positive, i need to learn that too. Love you man.

[@thomaslabelle2407]

I imagine Doug going absolutely batshit crazy on the AKcc hand flopping the nut flush vs top set for almost 500k screaming HOLD HOLD HOLD like a maniac. God I know that would've been my reaction lol.

[@blazejoker]

like mel gibson in braveheart holdddddd!!

[@orcishhordez]

HODOR

[@jaylovesu4718]

So so sick..with the AA against isuldur...people don't realize how incredibly difficult it is to call with AA on that board texture. Especially with that amount of money. HERO!!!

[@8sLobbies]

Laughed it off? ahah i would've smashed my house up

[@Snowy123]

will barlow and buying a new house might be cheaper

[@slimphotog]

You handled that slow roll better than I would have.

[@KyleParzich]

I saw hand #2 live. I watched the entire session while I was working on a project in the Comp Sci building. I just remember Doug losing sooo many huge hands that it was painful to watch.

[@KmartPoker]

really cool video dude!

[@SatchelBinford]

Thanks Kevin

[@ronm7114]

Kevin, love ur vids. But DUDE, get some sun! :p

[@grs5597]

Ty, Doug for all the videos. Helped me open my eyes wider 👍👏

[@HitchSolveEtCoagula]

LOL "This is a hand against Hitler" closed captions are so great

[@tictacufo3326]

This was amazing, I love the content man. Job well done.

[@andresdelhassi7257]

Malacesia was worried Doug had pocket 8's.

[@jackiewilliams4699]

I love watching guys play poker with their life savings lol....enjoyed the video

[@tomazas08]

for me whats crazy...when they playing life cash games its like different peoples when they play online...online they play like crazy maniacs...no wonder so many PRO players went broke playing online

[@michelcharbonnier7603]

These "PROs" (Eli Elezra, Gus Hansen, Mike Mattusow and many others) went boke online because they found out the hard way that online players are just so much better than the fish they were used to playing with in life games and also much better than themselves. You can even put in greats like Phl Ivey in there, who were crushing life fish but were crushed themselves by playing against much better players online we don't even know their names.

[@tomazas08]

Michel Smiffi nahh most likely when you play same peoples over and over...you just know everything about them....but when you play online its different

[@johnblackie2482]

g

[@gman86]

very very nice vid doug...really interesting to see the thinking process of a nosebleeds player in some though spots

[@theNiteMann]

Love reading those morons trying to tell you how to play poker, makes my day. Thanks so much for all the free material Doug. It's awesome to get insight on how a professional player breaks down the hands, opponents moves and how you read their possible hands. Best of luck to you!

[@worldwidehiphop.]

@Doug Polk Poker I can't believe I missed this video! Love it! Had me stressing lol

[@jihunpark941]

wow. sick analysis with the AA on the one card to a straight. well done. great call!

[@1chance4life76]

Doug Polk at least you had a free chance for his internet connection to go out lol

[@colincrowley6843]

"Oh Doug you have to call" - yeah dude let's see you put it in with aces 😂😂

[@trueblue4034]

Awsome video "Team polk". It is very easy for others to make the calls when it is not there $$. Keep on grinding.

[@Danny0dbert]

I lost a million that day. Jesus I can't even imagine having a million bucks yet alone loosing it in poker.

[@themaharishi8160]

Money is really just dirty pieces of paper and second rate metals. Backed by air and lies. I wish they brought back the gold standard.

[@veyliness]

Never get tired of watching these hands :)

[@vincentsperrazza5926]

the poker nerd voice gets me EVERY. DAMN. TIME.

[@GokuPoker]

lol, aces vs kings for 500bb :D running good! Great analysis of the hero call with aces vs Isildur!

[@TheThomasskinner]

drink every time Doug says "vividly"!

[@zeptime3473]

Loved watching those high stakes games. Even the chat was entertaining!

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

one of the most interesting videos i've seen i wish there were more of these type of videos

[@Lavrec]

What a madman all in with high card 9 for 200k. ok xD When they all in im always in "theyalwayshaveit" town.

[@VinCe-ij8nf]

awesome video Doug ! now I'm curious about that sauce hand you briefly mentioned.

[@McPVP69247]

Holy fuck you used whom correctly! Well done mate.

[@DougPolkPoker]

Cheers!

[@thomasclark5413]

+eszqsx1000 lol

[@Culdog123]

drink vodka and play vodka!

[@ralphvandereb66]

such a great guy doug, respect.

[@Eric-tj3tg]

I see that this is a rewatch for me, as I've already "liked" it. Young(er) Doug..lol. Maybe a NEW Top 5? You've played some large pots since, yes? GL GL and all the best!

[@JeffGrossPoker]

sick! the AA blades getting it done.

[@guyvanburen]

Doug is such a real one

[@xx765]

Paul Phua before the world knew Paul Phua

[@_kaverna]

Hey Doug, you could play a tournament live. Doesn't have to be big stakes, even a $5 dollars tournament would be awesome to see how you go about your hands against players that are not professional. I think many people would like to see something like this? maybe? thanks :P

[@sh0ktopus]

search Doug Polk on Hendon Mob. His live results are pretty good considering hes mainly a HU NL cash player. He won the One Drop for his 3rd WSOP bracelet and has won other high rollers.

[@brunoloda]

Great video Doug! Keep them coming!!!!

[@ocacete]

Great as always doug! Keep it up!

[@nsdomanico]

Fantastic analysis. Awesome

[@mickeydusk]

dang i thought you were a scrub. I liked your videos but just thought you were an all theory kind of guy. I actually remember wcgrider from the 2+2 forums. You had the nice avatar of doug. Great cartoon btw :D Anyway enjoy the videos. Keep em comming! :P

[@adamdunlaptv]

Loved the video. The coolest one I've seen from you.

[@pauldesjardins8256]

casually drop the "i lost a million that day" classy doug

[@Imslightlyobnoxious]

nice call with the aces

[@magneresjuan]

nice video Man !!! can´t imagine what would be play for that amount of money

[@Taco_ocaT]

Saw you on pka! Dude please try to come back to thier podcast! One of the best guest

[@Nash9r]

Thanks for the insight! Great video.

[@TheLifeOfReilly234]

need more high stakes players like you who can help people like me who are in micro stakes explain hands etc nice job bud

[@tienesunllamadrama2569]

great vid mate (Y) thanks for uploading fun to watch

[@joshuapatrick682]

awesome to see someone playing a single pot that eclipses all of my poker winnings over 5 years. I am having a hard time seeing the pot size...

[@arnettwalton6234]

In the eight-seven hand he was thinking about the nuts! Pair of eights!!!

[@mikebarker6979]

Arnett Walton nuts would be 77

[@supremeamine2382]

Mike Barker Player has a 7 so not possible

[@adamdunlaptv]

Why didn't you show the board on the first hand (AA vs. KK). Did you lose?

[@juzzdrums9369]

Yeah you should feel good mate, awesome!✌️

[@frnc12]

great video, keep in going! :)

[@DougPolkPoker]

+frnc12 Thanks!

[@Fernando-uo4nq]

Best poker youtube thanks Doug!

[@hiilikeyourbeard]

great call in the last hand with aces. put him on 89 hearts.

[@aliabideen]

At the end, poker is all about making the right decisions ......and then pray it holds :)

[@ight_of_heart]

Lambo on the river confirmed

[@mdougf]

God your analyses are so dope thanks

[@lou4781]

Good job bro. That's some good pot!!

[@Kingfist3]

Loled at all the hands and his reactions

[@MasDingos]

I dig these type of videos. However, for online, especially against some of the players mentioned here, I think it'd be really interesting to go thru numerous hands at a table to get a better feel for your actions based on player tendencies, tells, ranges etc. To get more of a feel for what you're doing based on these ideas...

[@pauloricardo9198]

Damn, nice video bro !!!

[@kevinsnyder1390]

*FUN FACT* with French Captions on, "snap jam' translates to "insta-shove" I never knew Insta Shove was a french term. lmao *THE MORE YOU KNOW*

[@badmanner3167]

Its not lol. Insta can be considered one (instantané) but shove isn't, it hsould be "insta-tapis"

[@Columbine-en3qc]

7:57 when you think the river was meant for you...ouch!

[@eggsbacongritsandsausage8178]

This vid is the shizzle ma nizzle!

[@anilyzerr]

Top 10 poker video all time.

[@jonaspl1057]

Legend

[@chrdew8821]

here I was thinking 'tightman' was you coming at vogelsang lmao

[@mycommentpwnz]

What's funny is in the hand when Doug had 5/6 of spades, and he said, "I'm only dead if my opponent has 77, 74, 44," I swear to God I thought, "Well, you're half dead if he has 7 / 8."

[@Diecast747]

How much of your roll is sitting in Howard Lederer's bank account?

[@WATCHAL3X]

15 bucks little man... put that shit in my hand.. IF that MONEY doesn't SHOW ME then you OWE ME, OWE ME, OWE ME.

[@tomojobs]

My jungle love...

[@benharris706]

so the runout on the AA vs KK hand was that the AA held?

[@ProLikeMee]

he wouldve showed if not

[@roofsluts]

nice deduction

[@uFFFO]

It doesn't matter. He wins 82% of the time.

[@lighttwins11]

great hands

[@phete123]

I enjoyed this video

[@jamakasis18]

If i played pots that size, i would have to keep a bucket nearby. Throwing up after every action i take. xD

[@FriendsForFriends666]

question: i can barely remember what i had for dinner the last 3 days but vividly remember a hand from 15 years ago. in every detail, history and notes from the guy, bet sizes, my whole process of thought. why?

[@iliketocode6986]

i didnt know doug played that high. That last hand would of crushed me.

[@GabiJambob]

nice video doug, you got any homegames in stars?

[@JimmyRingz]

How large of a bankroll (or even entire life roll) do you guys have to have to play these nosebleeds? I've played for quite a few years and _never_ understood why would anyone play for such sick amounts of money. I mean the numbers equal like two sports cars in one, and a nice home in two pots. Where did you make the most of your $, was it online cash, online tourneys, live cash or live tourneys? Greetings from Finland, Doug.

[@blahblahbleh__9046]

I would imagine that people playing these high stakes have people who buy action, so like fund them X amount of dollars with the chance of making X percentage in return if you win.

[@FocusedAndMotivated100]

This was really cool to watch. Your the man dp. Haha. I just said dp.

[@and_metatheory]

Isildur, cast it into the fire... the ring is mine.......ISILDUR!!!!!

[@acrooo87]

Muauuauahahhahah MalACEsia's SAVAGE one

[@waltergutierrez6007]

He said I lost a million like he lost 100 bucks lol

[@DoctorChained]

"Yeah I think I lost like a million that day. Something like that. You know, it happens"

[@chrisarnold769]

Should have read Super System. Don't draw to straight when a flush is on the board, and don't draw to a flush when a pair is.

[@hyperhektor7733]

What was your overall bankroll at the moment? ( so i can set the money into relation)

[@diannetalmadge1578]

doug had a 8-10 million $ roll back in the day, I lost about a million that day and still won 400 k on one hand crazy

[@hyperhektor7733]

@@diannetalmadge1578 mkay 12-10% loss is still big, i risk only 1% xD, no big swings

[@dondesperado5742]

tx Doug

[@nyagechiram9761]

1:51 Watch at 0.5x speed. Thank me later

[@colinglen4505]

great video.

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

what does doug say in the beginning about not as big as older pots, when what was running?

[@iNFaunTae]

losing 200k doesnt hurt u financially? Damn how rich are you?

[@JohnSmith-cy8hq]

Doug was staked for these games almost definitely.

[@FAonYoutube]

Not much anymore, I've heard he went all the way down to a 100$ bankroll and then tried to go back up to 10k without any success.

[@retakleksum111]

lets say he does have at least 20 buy ins so 4 million $ mininum at that time. still i dont see a reason to gamble at these stakes if you are not a billionaire or have more than 100 million.

[@davidpetersen9276]

Long term staking, swapping, or selling action is a way pros make sure they don't expose too much of their BR in one event or at a given level.

[@gwg97]

20 BI alone without staking is way too small I think

[@NotMyRealName08]

damn that slowroll

[@mproksa1]

Could you share the sauce hand youre most proud of? I think I saw it somewhere (K high call?) and it was super sick, if you could provide us with reasoning it might be the most popular youtube strat vid ever :)

[@ClassicMist360]

on the last hand doug almost had a royal flush lmao

[@crazy3rdgen]

pretty sick, nh's

[@blasphemy18]

dentale would checkraise the aces all in on the isildur1 hand lmfao

that 58 hand is insane
