OMG YES 👍

Oh hell yeah!!

OMG I would drop everything I am doing to see that. You are a genius 😎👍🏿

its not happening because 1. Hellmuth's too chicken to play a cash heads-up his brain hurts when he tries to evaluate thing bigger than 10BB preflop (relies too much on compulsory action instead of creating one) 2. Hellmuth could barely keep it cool with Esfandiari in front of him who is like 30% annoying in comparison for Tony G 3. Nobody wants to see drunk tony G winning on pure luck celebrating loud while Hellmuth waltz off Wait we want no. 3 , WE ALL WANT IT😂😂

My dream

Im confused, did they just have friendly banter online or were they actually fighting?

Yep. Dudes be pussies in real life.

You're a dum b novice dude

@@RodJeez classic example of a incel there

Yuppp

I also got to sit opposite Greg Raymer and chatted for almost six hours at a tournament, and it really made my trip. Thanks to both of you, as well as many others!

Glad you met Daniel. Thats makes you a humanitarian

It's the Canadian in him 😂

Doug is also pretty likeable and interesting to watch. That intro was bizarre.

@@Tarasyoutube I think it was for the camera. They are just trying to generate heat to the game, they are both invested in it. Whatever beef they have is basically nothing

@@rugbychampion1 definitely basically nothing, so what was that..😉😘

Don't meet your heroes.

Daniel gave Polk some hands due to getting camera time and his maturity. He doesnt need to win anynmore money. Thats what happens when you get older.

And eating a sandwich

As of today, almost 25% of the way to the end, Polk is up $600K. So he’s killing him in the online portion.

@@TConn9 Well that wasnt hard to predict that online will be in Polks favour, DNeg was never consider a very good online player he is old style we will see at the end who makes profit.

Wow nice copy and paste

And you need to understand that he knows what he's doing lol

Doug "Tonka Truck Driver" Polk

Doug "I beat daniel after 25k hands" polk

Aaand now I hate him

Perfect description!!! Ever since he hit the poker scene, sleezy is the correct word for this guy.

Or blame it on his friend for going to the bathroom and leaving Polk w his gf

Well I doubt that since he is gay lol

@@KrolKaz He’s gay? Not that it matters to me, but I never got that impression. DNeg on the other hand I had assumed was for a while.

100%

True

Online is real. They're just different. Online you're trying to take a small edge and multiply it over multiple tables over a long period of time, theoretically eliminating variance. They require a ton of overlapping skills, live vs online.

I've been missing this too. So much fun.

depends on what you call professional broadcast.. but i can highly recommend any triton series videos

The reason is most of todays poker pro's are boring AF to watch play. They can win a triple up pot and they look the same as if they just lost 95% of their chips. Todays stars are just plain BORING to watch.

@@allankay12 thats probably because theyre mostly online players that just dont want to act out on camera or something .. i feel u tho

Polk out flopped him so much

Except for the one guy constantly saying Daniel's name wrong. You think SOMEONE would have fed him the proper way to say it at some point during the 3 hour game

@@guibox3 negreanew

@@guibox3 yeah and the way they say "out and about"... just all wrong!

Isn’t it Daniel neg-ruh-knew /s

They were terrible

no Doug is mature too. Daniel is making him out that way but he didn't really do anything. He criticized Pokerstars for increasing rake saying it will help recreational players. "Wearing a tshirt" with the more rake is better is kind of nothing, it's not like he acted immature or did anything with it. I love both of them so I feel comfortable explaining this. And I also am someone who feels I'm always surrounded by people less mature than me and Doug is a fellow smart guy

Nah lol Doug was super salty at the end and could barely credit Daniel for playing well

​@@Kro_NHL Because why should he? I guess you didn't watch them do the 25k hands where daniel would claim it was just luck after every session.

@Brett Sylvester someone's a nut swinger

Dang alex lmao what does doug expect?

@Brett Sylvester relax groupie, it’s just a joke

What's up guys, Doug Polk here and today on Polker Hands...

It's just banter. You internet snowflakes. Get out more.

Problem is odds are last 200 hands will be more passive for purposes of winning the challenge

Because they made bets with other people. I think doug bet with someone 500k that he ll win the challenge. So if he s up 10k in the last 20 hands, he ll simply fold to win his bet

They should do all hands live

@Brett Sylvester there is they made lot of side bets with many peole.

The likelihood that the last 200 hands will be relevant is almost nil.

Keyword “if” i guess lol

Doug ended up 1.2 million after the online hands Daniel has him bested in live play though

@@Archy513 a big part of poker is reading the other players so taking that part of the game away makes it no surprise at the outcome.

@@ckhawk00 yeap....also some people just have the IQ and brain power to analyze info and process information quickly and accurately which plays heavily into top online players. Especially when playing multiple tables simultaneously.....no live reads at all....just algorithms, pattern recognition, n balancing out bets. Higher IQ is a big factor.

@@ckhawk00 n im not diminishing or minimizing polk. He is one of the besr players hands Down.... But even polk himself.....will have beats against top cash games, live games, etc in person playing 6-8 hours against someone Call me old school but there is some "IT" factor in handling huge amount of pressure... N reads are important Idk....im.biased. I struggle analyzing info in 2X the speed. Playing with a group of people for 8 hours live. Im able to retain informstion recogniZe reads, use intuition and skill and pattern recognition.

It's almost impossible to get Daniel to river fold

Daniel Negreanu and Doug Polk need to play live again. It's way more interesting watching them play live than online. You can't even see their cards when they play online! I can't watch that for hours like I can watch them play live for hours.

Lolwot? They were already friends

Polk seems arrogant to me. Acting like he’s superior to Daniel so much.

@@RussTheGreatMan I think that's just because he focusses on headsup so much while daniels strength is tournament poker. I think Doug has massive respect for Daniel for taking up the challenge against him.

Please confirm that after... you have your first

Literally feels like the opposite

between two lesbians

One ordered Pogg for dinner. The other odered the Humble Pie.

1000%

Given that 25k hands would take more than 375hrs of live play, that's just not realistic

i honestly think Doug didn't care in this one. I feel like he, like many other poker players, miss the real table experience, whether he has a long online past or not. The banter is something you can't replicate online. I loved this match since it's the part of poker that makes it fun, aside from winning. imho

@@t0pz87 Doug knew was underdog live is many reasons why live and online separated…but you right don’t think really cared he knew could lose prob max of 5 buy in and still crush negs over the 25k hands

@@t0pz87 yea. Nothing beats live poker. But if u have a high IQ can analyze information and retain info really fast. Online is way more profitable obviously. Playing multiple tables at a time so double or tripling your winnings.. But if ur a top 20 poker player in the world in live tables. Thats so hard to beat. Daniel can play live....withstand pressure, read players, and retain info on players with great skill

this didnt age well

no you don't it's 25k hands haha

And up to 2015!

He had flipped a high pair on the flop and from the turn being a second 3 he got 2 pair. and that same 3 gave doug three of a kind. And Doug does a light raise. Daniel sits on it for half a minute and folds. Talk about sniffing out the strong hand.

YES

Yeah 200 hands in 4 hours is exactly what we need for this 25000 hand match. More of this so we never get to see this end.

Agree. More fun

Or like they used to do the heads up tournaments those were so fun

avoiding the elephant in the room 101 😂😂

Underrated comment

Priceless

😂😂😂

Very under rated

LMAO

Same here I’m a little town watcher.. so it’s a hell of action/poker game MUST WATCH

FloatTheTurn! Sensei!

Yo JL!!! you must be buzzing that the " more rake guy " is winning!!

He's talking figuratively not literally, dingus

its preetty standard tho, he cant call pre, folding seems bad againts a guy that 3 bets light, obviously your left with 4beting. k9o is preetty good candidate. the flop is tricky because doug can have 1010 and JJ when he flats pre but you have K high and you have a gutter so you have a clear cbet, turn im not going to ttalk much because you could check(and realize equity with the oportunity to bluff some rivers when checked to you ) or bet and go for 3 barrels in some rivers. river is a blank and when you dont block any diamond i guess its mandatory to bluff all in , you get some auto folds from some type of draws like KQ ou Qx diAMONDS and you put AJ and AT in a really dificult spot. its standard bro not epic at all xD

@@jose3990 it was epic. He pulled off a great bluff. I’m hoping Polk destroys Negreanu online now.

@@prisonmike3665 dude get real..polker is a clown ::)) he will lose EPIC

@@prisonmike3665 how is it a epic bluff dude? do you understanding anything about bluffing

@@prisonmike3665 the most important thing in poker is not how you play tout cards, it's the people, the people...

Polk prefers online play because he can bring up all of the additional software that will tell him how to play a hand. He cant do it on his own.

@@letsgobrandon7567 you mean a hud LOL get me on whatever tables you play

isnt doug polk in his 30s?

@@Ererization polk is about as new school poker as it gets

I literally thought the same thing lol.

Agreed

there should be an "after school special" tv show on it

Yeah they get along well but have major philosophical differences

@@Rekickit If they wanted to or if other people want to be friends then they should not play poker against each other. Or play for tiny stakes and keep the game friendly. Because the nature of the game is obtainment by stealing, deception, mis-direction and trickery, therefore the game for high stakes is not friendly.

let's hope so 👍🏻

It's also easy to erroneously read more or the wrong emotion/tone in a written message than when you can see/hear the person, right? Maybe all this started with an escalated misunderstanding.

@@USMCHellraiser I agree with you, however as much as I hate to admit it, because I like doug, i do think he might overplay things online to generate the clicks

DNegs did not take this very well

I think that was a reference to the fact that Tyson and Holyfield recently became friends

Safe to say you missed the point!

It was just a little nibble. They have been bff's for a long time.

i dont think doug even likes playing poker anymore.

200 houndread hands, it is nothing. Daniel had run better than Doug, hit more board, hit a trips in a 3bet pot. Easy win when you hit the board. on 100k hands live, daniel gonna loose lot of money vs Doug.

@@paologalimberti5097 yeah Daniel seemed to hit every hand.

@@oman9492 u can say the same with online especially when ur hitting cards and hitting em with 2 tables simultaneously. If they did this live tables....2 hands at a time. Would be 400 hands n daniel would win. ..than what would u say? Its only 400 hands not.25K?

@@jimmydane34 well yeah, 200 Hands, 400 hands... live or online is still under 10,000 hands. Even 10,000 hands has a decent chance of seeing deviations from expected value.

My bet is polk online and the kid live!just my opinion Greetings cz75 shadow (Stu Ungar)😊

Doug has videos on it. I think Dnegs coming out with "more rake is better" is what kick-started the whole fued, and it just rolled from there.

Retweet dougs tweet so we can get Him streaming live

Play till one person dies 🤣

It’s not even close

@@dylanofmshorts In a tournament format agreed. However, in heads up Doug destroys Daniel. Evident by the fact he's $800k up after tonight's session. I think they just passed £12.5k hands played as well.

Whats the schedule like? How can I follow this

@@mikeschafer4440 yeah I d like to know too

mike schafer follow on Twitter, it’s kind of all over the place, they are just under 5k hands now, streaming mostly on Joe Ingrams channel

I think Negreanu was just acting the way he always acts. Polk is the one that’s been coming after him online for years and suddenly acts like his pal.

@@MrElephantBeach looololololololol

I think it’s pretty easy to be a trol Saying what you want online with no accountability really. In person when you’re staring across from each other , perhaps they’re learning a smidge of respect

@@MrElephantBeachI think he’s had a fair amount of reason to come after Daniel. Seems everyone is stuck in the early 2000’s of Daniel being the nice guy of poker, when realistically he’s done some super sketchy things in the last few years.
