In this poker hand at The Lodge Card Club, Doug Polk, aka 'WCGRider,' is flexing his speech play skills in a bid to manipulate Mike D. The question is, will his silver tongue do the trick?
When you have a tough decision, and your opponent starts talking to you, it is because they are trying to talk you into what they want you to do. When an opponent speaks very clearly, they are usually not bluffing, but if they struggle to put a sentence together, they are more than likely bluffing.
Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’ is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has over $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings and 3 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including a win in the $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000.
Not too much is known about Mike D, but he is introduced as an amateur poker player who has played a few times at The Lodge.
In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating round-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor.
The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.
🔍 Pre-flop:
Everyone folds to Mike D in the small blind who looks down at A5 of clubs, he opts to call the huge $400 double straddle. Doug Polk peeks down at A8o in the big blind and follows suit with a call. Next to act is Alex in the under the gun straddle with K4o, he senses weakness from his opponents and raises to $2,400. This doesn’t deter Mike D or Doug as they both put in the call as they head 3-way to the flop.
💸 Flop - As 4s 2s
The ace-high monotone flop is incredibly wet but no player has a spade. Mike and Doug check their top pairs over to the preflop aggressor Alex, who fires out a continuation bet for $3,300. Both Mike and Doug make the call to see the turn card.
💣 Turn - 3s
A fourth spade arrives which gives Mike D a five-high straight, he checks again over to Doug who also checks. Alex chooses not to double-barrel this turn and checks to see a river.
🌊 River - Tc
After a ten comes on the river, Mike D has the chance to scoop this huge pot with a straight if he can get to showdown. He checks for a third time to Doug, who knows that his pair of aces probably isn’t good, fires out a big bet of $11,400. After Alex swiftly folds, the action is back on Mike D. As Mike D looks like he is about to throw in the call to win a pot of almost $40,000 Doug opens his mouth! But what does Doug say? Will it encourage a call or a fold from Mike D?

What do YOU look for from an opponent to help you decide if they’re bluffing or not? 🧐

@SoLaGitElite 5 ай бұрын

I think talking to the player in the hand is overly bluffed and talking to other players is overly value from my experience.

I could be wrong, but when players go sip a drink it tends to be during bluffs. Notice Doug sipping his bourbon soon after it’s Mike’s turn to act.

Yes 100%. Not that it is a good example of a good player but I always notice airball taking a drink when he’s bluffing. Against good players you just have to be ok that you will sometimes get bluffed and give them kudos. Against weaker players for the most part their lines don’t make sense is the best tell

Oh man, I suck at trying to make reads like that. Doug didn’t look that nervous- but he Bluffs all the time and he’s Doug Polk so I don’t expect him to look nervous over an $11,000 bet- I’m sure what he was thinking was ‘ This will be totally cool if it works’, and if not ‘ whatever’

@glfrjack 5 ай бұрын

Joe Navarro says (basically) that anything can be a tell, if you've established a baseline. Taking that in mind, becoming chatty can be taken as a sign that the player is venting energy (i.e., Mike Caro's "release"). Associating that release of energy to excitement from having the nuts or nervousness from trying to get away with something is what you have to determine from baseline behavior.

@Brazz27 5 ай бұрын

Exactly. Its all case by case, beginner players often ask what is the best tells we can give them, but there's no universal tells.

@spencermccoskery340 5 ай бұрын

I think talking when the opponent is trying to make a decision is usually a sign of weakness. Most of the time it's something someone is consciously doing to appear comfortable, implying that they are probably uncomfortable in reality. If they say something short and simple that's a different story but if they're just rambling on like Doug is here that's usually a sign of weakness. Plus he uses the old DNegs guess their hand trick where he said he thought the guy had a spade. That's also usually a sign of weakness in my experience.

It's the old "put them on a very strong hand to make them feel insecure about the strength of their hand". Nobody does this for value, besides people like Kasouf or Persson who intentionally say everything in every spot.

When someone talks to me. Depending on what he says is what I go for. "Normally" when players talk to you and trying to get a read on what you have. They are weak from what I see. Because if they want a call. They will not put up "Road Blocks" for you to make a decision. They want you to call. So why give you a ready to fold. A player bluffing will out them up to protect themselves from losing money. Now, like I also stated it, it depends on what they say. Remember when you are deciding a tell is strong or weak tell. You have to correlate it with results that have proven what it means. Same tell has shown before that the opponent was bluffing 3 times. Than probably a bluff. One time isn't a correlation of the tell.

No, the biggest tell always when you got the feeling to fold or call when your opponent talks to you. In this case just do the opposite. Doug table talk was a very strong tell, he would made a huge mistake against a pro talking like that.

So Doug thought a 2/3 pot bet would have a decent possibility to fold out a 8s or 9s...since that's indicative of a value bet one might make while holding a high spade? Which is why he broached it with Mike...no? To get an idea (in part) of how good of a read he had made? But to have put 2 guys on not having anything better than a 9s...!! Wow, that's truly an impressive play. After the flop, the betting kind of reeked of that. I do know they all have lots of history playing together. Still, very gutsy. Doug was obviously fishing for more info in the event Mike fired back.

It's not that simple. It's all relative to how the person is when not in a hand. If it's the talkative guy, and he continues this behavior during a hand, you can't read much out of it. Same thing for most personality traits.

Its a side-bet, the same rules as the 'stand-up game' minus standing up and sitting down when you win a pot. Instead, everyone gets a NIT button in front of them, and when they win a pot the button gets taken away. The last person with a button still in front of them pays the whole table a pre-determined amount each. It adds a ton of action to the game and makes people play more aggressively, so as to not be the last person with the nit button.

Doug is all about his range. He overcalled the flop this is clearly the weakest hand in his range on this runout. Talking comfortably and clearly while making sense usually a sign of strength imo. When less experienced players are bluffing the often say a bunch of shit that doesn't make sense. I'm calling here mainly bc I don't think Doug has a bunch of off suit hands in his range in this formation. The off suit hands are the mid pairs and I am not sure he is betting 8s8 here 3way.
