Doug! Remember that you can cash out your chips even if you are loosing! They allow it! Wild right? Just because you are “trying to go home” doesnt mean you have to punt off an extra $200.

Doug that set over set was brutal for the other guy. I love playing suited gappers (but always in position). Nice river straight with p9. That game look pretty good. Nice read on AK, and stealing pots. I've been there many times playing with fatigue even though the games are good and sometimes with one card you go from black to red real quick. Keep running good!

@@dougmccuskerpoker I usually play 4-6 hours win or lose. As long as your overall result is in the black, that's all that matters. Some of my friends if stuck can not get up from the table. This one guy even when he gets even wants to profit and majority of the time end up felted. Keeping running good Doug! Tell Zeus I said "Hi".

I’m used to playing much longer session than you but ALWAYS step away if I’m feeling tired NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE GAME IS. I’m surprised you stuck around, especially as you normally do a lot of editing of your vlog each day. It’s remarkable you only lost half your stack especially with the 99 hand, even on your bad days you exceed what you might expect. Only shows you’re human. Best of luck next week and you still prevailed for the week.

@MaydayAggro Ай бұрын

22: 18 is somewhat large, but I think it's ok from BU if you don't think SB or BB raise often. Last JJ hand: Love the bluff mechanically, extending it over the turn and river. Not sure how you discounted the Ax hands, but the river helped you there. He could have Ax but is afraid that you hit a flush, betting the draw on the turn and then jamming river flush.

I talked with him today after he watched the vlog. He had me, A7dd. His kicker was weak and spades got there. I guess he believed my line.

4 hrs is my limit these days, I tried to push it and paid the price.

@dysenteryjoe Ай бұрын

Thanks Doug for simply calling me a "loose player". I was opening / calling preflop wider than usual. As evident by my A6 open & call. I was indeed running hot by the time I stacked seat 1, and SHOULD have stacked seat 10 too if I thought longer and called.

@dougmccuskerpoker Ай бұрын

Yeah, laying down a set to him was a mistake. He is doing that shove with AQ all day and calling or normal raise with his sets.

@dysenteryjoe Ай бұрын

@@dougmccuskerpoker Agreed. AQ and maybe a few of his flush draws do that, but he doesn’t shove there with those sets. It worked out though, I got a bunch of it later, just had to work harder. Lol

My lesson learned on long sessions. Now that I'm in my 70s, I still like my game until I get to 2-3 hours in. If I go longer, I start making stupid mistakes. After 2-3 hours, I try to get my butt out of the chair, especially if I'm ahead; otherwise my history shows that I'm probably going home losers.

7:00 85o gets in a 3!bet pot...then calls a flop (3c45h) shove and jams with top pair 8 kicker () and then get bailed out in river. . That reminds me of a similar hand (Q4o) called my (AK) 3-bet PFR, and was calling all my strong bets on all streets...just to river the straight (AKJ6T), and clean my stack. Then, that individual, played as tight as it gets for the rest of the session. As if, he saw through the deck, was there only to clean my stack with that garbage hand, and then back off??? Usually, there is one person per table of that caliber. Go ahead, read their hands. . _last edit: 1 hour after post_

What's a valid use for the limp reraise? It's always struck me as the play of a novice who thinks he's being clever while effectively turning his hand face up. Given that Doug does this, I'm now certain I'm losing value from entirely omiting this play from my toolbox.

@sethcoccia5150 Ай бұрын

The only time I’ll ever limp re raise is in an extremely loose game. If I have super aggressive players to my left I will occasionally do it if I have a tighter image. A lot of time people will call 20 and then feel committed when 4 people call and I pop it to 135

@dougmccuskerpoker Ай бұрын

Hyper aggressive games where your stack size is under 100bb. Your hand is face up, but those supper loose players don’t care. It’s not a play I do often.

@dougmccuskerpoker Ай бұрын

Not that mad, bluffing a strong range was bad, but the check raise bluff balances my check raise range. If I always check raise with nutted hands, I will never get called. Unfortunately, he felt his hand was too good to fold. Other good players I spoke with really liked the play. My opponent just over valued one pair. 90% of the time I make that play, one pair is no good.
