As a heads up guys, I have decided to stop posting on Sunday's. It gets way less viewership then videos on all of the other days, I think there is just too much to compete with on that day. So we are moving over to a 6 days a week schedule. Forgive me lord, for I have thinned (my video schedule).

"I guess some people just don't have the balls to call with 9 high." LOL Line of the day.

lol dwan's tortured voice "nice hand"

this game has me dying. Peat's face and Tom staring him down. llmmaaooo

"I guess some people just don't have the balls to call with 9 high." That reference.

I'm always entertained when Doug says "you're gonna have to fold" in reference to Tom Dwan.

Doug Polk, the new king of youtube poker.

You can tell when Dwan is irritated that a hand didnt go his way, he always does the same thing. He looks up, takes a breath and says “nice hand” while still looking up.🤣

9high like a boss

I wouldn't mind a check your privilege on the turn followed by a level 2 bluff call.

7:17 he is looking at Dwan like he just farted or owes him money... 😂

I hope some of you got the "i guess some people dont have the balls to call with 9 high" reference :D (Dwan- Negreanu HSP)

where can we watch full series?

Sup, Doug. Could you please tell exactly what group of players the Lab at Upswingpoker is best for? For example, I am a regular of mid stakes tournaments (abi50) Would it be useful for me? Thanks.

Cat walks across the road. ....Doug- " Now what we see here is a cat crossing the road"

can you put the links of the original videos as well?

Doug, have you ever thought of doing a segment where you review famous high stakes hands and put indepth analyse with some humour chucked in there for good measure? I think it will be quite popular, thanks

Love that there's new content all the time. Keep it up

"I guess some people don't have the BALLS to call with 9 high" I'm dying

Very much enjoyed this segment of Pölker Hands!

Not only does Doug report on a good hand, but he does a good job with his commentary. That's the first time I have seen that happen,and it would be nice if it started happening more. And it was good to see Viffer's GTO strategy pay off on this hand.

Hey Doug, I have a follow up question from what you were saying about different plays being okay. In this spot, you justified it by saying the spot was really close. Is it the case that despite this, you think there is ultimately a correct play, but that the other options are so marginally less profitable that it's negligible, and that no one could reasonably hope to consistently get it exactly right in such a close spot? It feels like this has to be the case with poker ultimately being a zero-sum game. A chess player who considers two different moves to be okay in certain spots will always lose to a perfect AI, for example.

How do you know to upload exactly when I search for a new vid?

great work doug - thanks!

you didn't analyse the final action from dwan

I call with 9 high and lose all the time.Take that Go Raiders

Peat put Dwan on 65 and was raising for value. Surprised to see Dwan fold a hand as strong as he had. 9 high is almost always good there.

Doug in full on that said mode haha

Liked and subscribed, you come up in my youtube feed way too often, keep up the good work!

I love poker and this commentary. Love getting all the stats and info. I go to a small table home game and have pocket Aces and Raise the BB to double. UTG +2 call and SB 3 bets. I call and so does UTG + 1. Their hands? 7s4d and Js10s. I lost the hand to a random flush. But the difference, I didn't go all in just because I had ACES and the Flop was 3 Spades. Allowed me to temper my hand where in the past I may have gone in before the FLOP. In the end I learned, its still a random game and to go to the top level you have to get lucky with nothing sometimes. And sometimes you need to assess the range of those you are playing against more then anything.

Hi Doug, Do you play Polkemon Go ?

"two regular William Kassouf here" dat joke tho

Love your stuff Doug. Just think It's worth mentioning in the range analysis on the turn Tom can have an Ace if he check/raises A high flush draws. Not worth much after he bets though as I think people would check with weak AhXh (and 3 bet pre with strong As). Did you ever play on UB (many years ago)? I think I remember a person I used to play against with a name similar to WCGRider but I might be wrong. P.S. pray for australian poker

That said, Another great video!

Not sure I like Viffer's bluff with exactly 9h2h, because it blocks both flush draws and straight draws, which are Dwan's most probable bluff combos. It would be sweet though if he shoved and Dwan decided to call it off with 6h5h.

Doug you are brilliant. 9 high like a boss

That look saying "seriously? I'm all in mtf."

im pretty sure i already called with 10 and 9 high :/ has some pretty good "jump down the bridge" eq

4:25 "Ace changes nothing." LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

that eye contact

how much $ are you loosing (on advert) mr polk?

Funniest Viffer moment, '2 Months 2 Million' HU vs Jay Rosenkrantz and got owned, he exited with the line "Die in a grease fire"

When you say that playing 96s is definitely okay, do you mean, for that game, or it is okay in general with 200bb+, when button raises, no matter what stakes I play?

"Dwan has 9-6 suited and definitely should play his hand" - wtf lol

Dwan's haircut is + EV

why has this come to me again after 6 years, cant complain though

Here come the polker after dark jokes

I have had to deal with this scenario my times on Pokerstars, but for some reason if I am flush drawing I usually lose these.

Dwan would have called if he was playing 1 house/2 house, but the stakes were too small for him

Having said that, it does kinda make sense to post videos that get less views from random plays but are watched by subscribers to keep action going on the channel. That said, it's also important to always try and recruit new subs from every video. I'm opting to spend my content on larger odds to recruit new viewers, let's see how it goes!

Hey, have you considered changing your name to Doug Pok? I mean it would be pretty cool with all these shows that you have, POKer hands, POKer thoughts, POLKer Ne...oh wait...

I think call is ok here versus aggro players on turn, if you are prepared to bluff barrel most dry rivers and almost all paired boards if missing flush. Against a tight agressive player I would almost always fold the turn with 9 hi flush.

to further comment on the close decisions between what to do and having multiple options, these polker hands videos are hand selected because they're interesting. THAT SAID the decisions on each street are obviously going to be close

Hey Doug! I have to say you are kind of my hero. I've been watching your videos and streams and they are awsome.. Also have you ever considered naming these videos Polker Hands??

How do they have a chance to tie

Please show more hands where TD gets bluffed, slow rolled, sucked out on, doesn't matter as long as he's owned! Please! It definitely Cheers me up!

"He has 96 suited and should definitely play his hand..." Now I understand real poker

Dwan's raise on the flop is better than calling cos it introduces the idea that he might have a better flush draw. Great picture at 6.45 btw. Does Viffer get a read off that?

doug who's your favorite poker player?

Doug Polk is the man !

Do you think they considered calling the show Polker After Dark?

*staring down intently*

Hello Doug, u make a magnificent content! Whats ur attitude to someone to translate ur videos to other languages? To Russian in particular. In Russia there are a lot of people who would be interested cuz its only like 10% people understand english

These are gold.

the power of position

I came for the KZfaq experts.

Hey, bro, I like your vids. I don't even play poker.

Of course a Doug Polk hand not just the hand real time FML

Fuck that sign...I'm mean fuck that Sunday. Auto like before I even watch cuz I know your content is the shit in my cereal

By the way, he once made a call with 9 HIGH against Negreanu )))

I think Viffer sold a very good story here.Basically he told Dwan : I know you are on a flush draw and i don t want to give you a free card so I shove.Pretty risky but it worked cause Dwan was playing with a really poor showdown value type of hand !

Like two love birds 7:06

Hey Doug, next can you please review that hand between your buddy Ryan Fee and Barry Woods, its over on Live at the Bike, ridiculous action.

VISITING CARD'S INTRODUCTION

I miss polker after dark

I feel like 80% of this shenanigans happened when poker money flowed like candy

Hi Doug, I was kinda surprised to see you not understand what Ben meant by "I hate people looking like you". You are an expert on Poker and since you have been so kind to the community and sharing your knowledge about poker, and since I'm an expert on human psychology( all poker players should be but you are an online guy and don't talk on tables but that's another story ). I would like you to explain you what Ben meant, that got you so confused and broke your heart ( I dont mean it in a bad way). I can explain you what Ben meant and please dont get heated up, it's nothing personal. You try to have an "alpha male" look. Your hair up like this is totally alpha male wannabeism. You also seem to have big arms which means that you also want to look big, you don't seem really excercised like a good athelete just arm boosted, probably some proteins and god knows what, which anyones that understands basic animal/human instict psychology is just another noob alpha-male wannabism attempt. Many people do these things ontheir self unconsiously because they think they look good and are happy with how they look but the instict and the original reason behind it is that you want to show dominance. Anyone that really values and both understands the human psyche looks down to those cheap attempts to win the "look/Im an alphamaleboss/my sperm will survive/I look good/egofull". In fact, most smart nonego people, will look down to people that spend time with their appereance and will be just be happy to be clean and in healthy-excercised body state. Generally speaking, egofull people try to look like that because they "suck" pleasure out of their self feeling good, it is just a closed-minded fake-approach to true happiness. Sorry for my English, I am Greek. I totally respect you and I really appreciate your hand analysis. But i have to say that young people today know so much things about one thing that they lose the bigger pictures and that's why many poker pros are not happy, because happiness is not about money or winning hands, it's about studying your psyche, that's the only way to be happy. This is coming from a guy who has lots of money too but not 10m like you hehe but I don't more money than I make :) Spending more and more time on learning something more and more specific, in the end, you learn everything about nothing. Study yourself and the human/animal psychology and insticts. Thanks for listening and all the respect in the world :) Just someone

am i the only one that thinks when peat is staring down like he is sick to his stomach in the videos and all of a sudden looks up at his opponent real quick to make eye contact and looks right the fuck back down. dougy boy pauses it when peat looks up tho lol

Bad turn barrel, as much as I'm a fan of Tom's playing style. Dwan's representing a decent king like KT on the flop, but the ace on the turn should've ended the bluff (as Doug explained). Dwan would've 3bet an ace preflop for value, especially given that they are playing 3-handed and its strength is so high relative to what the btn is opening. While Dwan maybe flats aces from the blinds some % of the time and looks to trap on ace-high flops and get value from c-bets repping the ace, he wouldn't turn a hand with good showdown value like ace-high into a bluff on the flop. Very intelligent play from Viffer, playing his range which got much stronger on the turn. I think Dwan wasn't quite thinking it through or underestimated Viffer a little.

Not sure if I agree the A was a better card for Viffer. Dwan could easily have check raised the flop with a hand like AK or A8

douggie! make a video about online poker in America!!

u should do ur buddy ryan fees disaster of a hand, on live at the bike with pocket jacks. folding to a 1/5 size bet on the river. it would be funny too

To me call seems like worst option by viffer on turn.

Can u talk more about Viffers turn calling range? wouldn't he elect to call all or most of his nutted hands( AA,,AK and sets) on the turn to let dwan bluff the river. cuz there are so few hands dwan is continuing on the turn such as combo draws and worse made hands.

BROTHERS FOR ANY EVENT

0:07 - Andrew Neeme?!

Lol @6:40 but jeez viffer is so weird looking when he does that strange lip-curl mouth twisting movements. anyone else notice that about him?

Doug Polk AD , on the Doug Polk's channel, in a Doug Polk video, with Doug Polk. Dougcepiton. Make it stop it bro, Love your content.

doug, why would tom lead out on the turn into the A? It seems like it would be better to check shove or check call w his hand. Viffer will bet the ace a lot w air, but its too easy for him to shove over toms bet. What hands is he going to get Viffer to flat or fold w his turn bet?

9 high like a boss!

Viffer likes the 92s!

Is Viffer still retired from poker? He made cash games super entertaining. Always gave action.

Polker after dark, polker hands, give me free money, etc. No more comments needed.

bring back HSP. GOD DAMN IT! keep up the good work Doug! :)

Tom Dwan called down with 9 high against Daniel Negranau in the High Stakes poker show?Not sure if the comment was sarcasm or not

What's up with viffers facial expressions when dwan raises??

Hi Doug, Thanks for this anylysis. I just wanted to point out that I think you are too soft on Dwan's turn bet. I understand him wanting to bet here considering he has no showdown value at all and wants to rep strong. But on this card, checking to protect your range gives you much more options and that especially against a player very "move-friendly" like Viffer, you're just gonna get punished too much when you bet. So I'd call that turn bet a mistake.

Well I once called with a 2 high.

I dont understand the Dwan could never have a A or K, confused
