Absolute thing not mentioned here is what is Tom thinking when Doug folds and Wesley slides his hand over for Doug to look. To me he is trying to show strength, and I don't believe for one second he would slide two Kings or two Aces over. I may be wrong, but I think Tom seen that, and then discounts Wesley having the KK or AA .

i remember commenting on your video when you had about 5k subs and telling you to keep it up and that it starts slow but you will certainly build a following. I haven't stopped watching your videos since and you are by far my favorite poker commentator. It's nice to have someone who has been so successful in poker share their wisdom. In a subtle way you are my pseudo coach and I very much appreciate that you are so willing to share your thoughts and wisdom regarding the complexities of poker. I absolutely loved this type of video. I think there aren't many other poker commentators doing videos like this and the fact that you are able to reach out and get some real, after the fact, discussion from the player made this even more relavent. It would be different if we were entirely speculating on what Durr is thinking and having those little bits of convo really does add something. I also appreciated that you stated your personal opinion of the situation before sharing what Durr thought. I know I said it before but I'll say it again. Thank you so much for the videos. I know they take a lot of time and energy to make. I sincerely appreciate the fact that you take time away from your family to share this with me and I wish you and your family the best!

This may be the best video I've ever seen analyzing poker hands, especially with this kind of money at stake. So thank you Phil for that! As a poker lifer I can fully appreciate what Phil has to say about how the hands played out and what his conversations with Tom revealed. I just gained a helluva lot more appreciation for both these men. I've had the dubious honor to be beaten in two key hands at the WSOP by Tom many years ago. He called me down in a Stud hand when I had big cards showing (with 6,6 in the hole) and all he had was a pair of nines. He put a 'soul' read on me is the only way I can explain it. Now I have a better idea on what type of thinking process allows him to make calls like that. I won't bother to share our next hand but suffice to say he read me perfectly, and I've always taken pride in the fact that I'm hard to read. Players like Tom and Phil simply play at a different level than most of us!

@TheRealBruceLouis Жыл бұрын

to the last part of wat you said with regards to everything you do at a poker table conveys information, thats why phil ivey is so much better playing live poker than he is playing online. yes he crushed it during the 00s and before black fridays, but he started losing out in the end more recently. why is this the case, because phil iveys greatest strength, in my eyes, is his ability to read the room, read the air and the vibe of the person that hes up against. basically the person in the hand conveys information with every little tick that he has, and phil ivey is not able to utilize this at all playing online poker, thus robbing phil ivey of his greatest advantage. and then of course when phil plays live he always seemingly makes the correct decisions, folding top pairs on the turn to a made flush, making the right jam the pot bluffs in a bluff on bluff hand. there hes able to read everything someone is doing at a poker table, and assess the information that he processed there.

I think there's one more element. When a player knows another player knows your hand there's a little extra bravado at play and maybe that factored into the triple barrel. It worked both ways when Wesley saw Doug's hand and Doug went for the big bluff as well - although Doug is SOOOOO measured I don't know how much that really factored.

@@Mark-rw3kwHow do you know Wesley had 100% of himself? Just curious. I don’t rly know his background. I believe Doug had 25%, I forget how much he lost overall in the game. You’ll find that many ppl don’t have 100% in games of this magnitude. I’d be surprised if Tom did, you just never know. It’s mostly the wealthy businessmen who are gonna have 100. Really hard to be rolled for a game like this as a poker player. Like if Galfond played this game I believe he’d sell some piece. Idk what % he’d sell but it’d be some I would think. If Phil sees this I’m sure he’d confirm he’s not gonna bring three $1M bullets and not sell x%. Again maybe I’m wrong but ya. This comment isn’t to defend anyone or anything, it’s just to shed a bit of reality on the situation on how common it is. Doug just has a popular platform so he shared the fact. He could’ve surely sold the pieces privately to friends. I don’t think it’s necessary to tell ppl what % you have of yourself unless someone in the game has a piece…which I believe is not great in the first place unless EVERYONE knows and is fully okay with it. It’s extremely common in live MTTs to swap %s w friends, I’m sure Phil has done that. In like the WSOPME maybe you swap x% with a few friends for a sweat. A lot of live MTT players also sell big packages where they’ll sell 50% or w/e to a bunch of ppl, or they’ll have a staking arrangement etc. It’s unlikely to end up at the same table as your backer in these massive fields, but if that did happen, I would tell the table if someone who had a very large piece of me was at the table. If it’s someone I swapped like 3-5% with I wouldn’t feel the need to. Just my thoughts on this stuff. I’ve sold pieces of myself in large cash games before (obv nowhere near this lol, large for me, 10/25/50 euros game when I was at an EPT.) I sold like 35% to a buddy, he didn’t play in the game I wouldn’t feel comfortable w that at all. I’ve also swapped in a cpl large live MTTs, I’m not an MTT player it’s an occasional thing for me but I have friends that are and know how common it is. I haven’t played live in like 5 years beside a handful of times locally.

@Mark-rw3kw Жыл бұрын

@@BOnYTB Wesley Fei made millions in crypto, although his exact net worth right now is not public info (especially since Bitcoin and other cryptos have decreased in value since their highs). So he didn't need any staking, and he bought in for about $3 million, when most everyone else bought in for about $1 million. Also, I don't think he has any kind of poker following that would allow him to raise that much money. I watched those hands live on KZfaq (with delay for security reasons) and I don't think he is a good enough poker player to get people to stake him. Doug Polk's financial situation is much different, and he has actually quit playing poker, because he has a family now (his wife had their first child earlier this year) and playing poker was not really profitable for him (although he is involved in making money via his KZfaq channel and connection with an Austin poker room). I think he bought in for over $1.5 million, and I am pretty sure was mostly staked. Given the amount of money he lost, if that was all his (or even 33% his) I think his wife would have killed him (literally). I don't think anyone, even a multi-millionaire, would have been that carefree as Doug seemed to be after losing so much in that session. Even Wesley was shaken when he lost most of his stack and he can actually afford to lose it (and I think he is single). Since Doug Polk is a respected poker player, he could get staked by a lot of people, not just friends of his. There are a lot of "poker staking" websites where anyone can stake big name stars, but I don't know for a fact if Polk used those for this game.

Regular watcher here.... I enjoyed the hand breakdown - particularly that you were outside of hand charts (as you usually are) and more into the psychological choices, reads and re-reads (as the hand progresses). Nicely done. What might add value is analysis as to how these mistakes might play at lower levels. Obviously the reads and counters playing at these levels are unique, stratospheric and particular to the pro game under extremely deep circumstances. Most of us are not playing at those levels. Most of us are not even playing with people who know about two or three level deep thinking. Getting your take on these plays at lower levels would give us even more to take to the tables. However, this was EXTREMELY well done. Thank You!

Incredible deep level analysis. I loved watching these hands and I didn't even think about a lot of things you went into detail about.

This is one of the best poker videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you Phil Galfond for making it. Thank you Tom Dwan for being Tom Dwan.

Really appreciated this - the thought process to get to calling with the seven's was particularly interesting and informative.

This is one of the most fascinating analyses of live tells and other intangibles I’ve ever seen. So good.

The text messages impressed me alot ,that was cool! Very nice how you explained the thought patterns ect. I put Dwan on KK vs. Wesley at first , I loved how at first that Dwan's hand was not to be seen . ..... " All in ?4sure!? .... okay , I'm gonna get a water !..... wtf is going on !?" Imma leave a sub Phil!

Phil, this is the most accurate and best review of these 2 hands! Love the content a ton.

@jeremynelson8040 11 ай бұрын

Thank you Phil, this is perfect. I had to explain "I like this hand" to another player and I took the same read as Tom here. However, his though process, peel by peel, is astute and I have learned more in this video than in 6 months of subtle live reads. Drrr is still a very relevant player even though I may have argued the opposite about a week before this game.

@mortenbonde5411 20 күн бұрын

This is a super awesome video. The action is cool, but the break down by Phil supported by the texts from Tom Dwan just makes it one of the best poker videos I have seen for a long while.

@KiiroiSenko1 9 ай бұрын

Excellent content. Enhanced by the fact that you know Tom personally and how he thinks. That makes this extra unique. I enjoyed this.

Seeing old school Tom Dwan and few sessions in more recent time it's clear that he adjusted his style just like Phil Ivey. They were so loose aggressive back in a day and now they feel like rocks or tight aggressive players. Back In a day competition was more straightforward value heavy and now everyone have bluffs in their range and with loose image they have now they just play solid value heavy style. It's great to see.

This was an excellent video. I love the differences in how you, and Doug, and Dwan all interpret the same information. Really shows the human aspects of the game.
