The smart player learns from mistakes. The great vlogger has the integrity to lay out his mistakes for all to see, so that we can all learn from them. Thank you Doug, you're a class act.

You're on the short list of vloggers who always keep things straight up and no frills. Ben Deach from Reno, Lex O Poker from FL, and BabboPoker from San Diego are a few of my other favorites for those same reasons. Being relatable in addition to being engaging in your content is a big deal, in my opinion. The run-good is on its way. Thanks as always for sharing your journey; cheers Doug.

Leading the title screen with a red light is a bold move! You're doing well to remain you own harshest critic. I like your integrity

Another great video!!! I thought was subbed already!!! 🤣😂🤣

This is good narration and makes for a relaxing and fun vlog to indulge in!

"if you leave, you can't get even"........true, among other possible results. recognizing when you are tilted is a very important attribute.

If you never had a bad day, you're lying to me. Thx for helping me feel better, Doug. Get em back tomorrow!!💪🍀

Love it. Keep it coming.

I have been playing poker for 30 +years, my philosophy of being a good poker player is that you have to loose a lot of money over time to be a good poker player because you will learn a lot over them losses. Gl at the tables.

I haven’t been playing cards as much because I’m saving my time and energy for the wsop. I don’t want to get burned out now before summer. Long grinding days ahead. Hope to see you out here in Vegas, Doug!

I feel for ya, Doug. I had a run of 3 bad days in a row. The only pairs I could make were my pocket aces and kings and of course they never hold up when you run bad. On better note, the vlog was great! Best of luck next time! Yo, Zeus!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Well, that was brutal. Luckily, you'll win that back. GG.

Great Vlog as always

I had to learn from a big loss. I hated it. I appreciate your positive take to remove any negative residual feelings.

We all have days were the cards and our wits are against us. Battle back it's just a bad session not a bad life 😊

Happy Sunday Doug greetings from Sunny UK, regards

That first hand was sick

Thank you Doug for your contributions Appreciate you.

Thanks for sharing a bad day. You will recover quickly. Stay strong.

Lots of empathy Doug, we’ve all been there.

Wow that sucks you were actually ahead with KQ 🐾…..

I learned a couple decades ago, on these days you cut your losses. Does not matter if it is small tilt or full tilt, you lose your edge…

O like your aggression on turn and river bets. Things didn’t work out for you today but that’s poker. I think after you review your play you won’t feel to badly about how you played your hands.

Thanks

We all have a bad day at the office buddy.

One of those days Doug.. happy Passover

I think you played great,only the hand with king ten was wrong when he bet you should go all in

Rough go of it today. Is $1,000 the cap at $1/$3?

Wondering. . I lost for the week and lost for the month. . I even lost it the year. I guess there is a blogger that will post that ? Just asking.

punished by the fish....

I feel really bad for you. I hope you bounce back quickly.

Ouch 😞

That is exactly what has been happening to me for 6 months I don't know what to do 😢

Someone smarter than me once said… “You are already even”

Sometimes we learn more from losing than winning. This video is like that for me. I'm sorry for you, but at least you've given us a good video.

One of those sessions where your opponents cards hit and your cards didn’t. Can’t win when that happens.

Ran bad. The K10 hand should’ve folded on the river though. That was a tilt call.

12:46 your favorite hand against him contains a middle finger

You and NorCal poker… ouch

Sometimes I think if you just play straight forward instead of slow playing you would do so much better. They seem to call anyway so why so play? I know you try to mix it up but when you lose a pot due to slow play it seems to sting a little more anyway for me it does we have all been there. I now have a sign "no slow play" it's better to win a small one than lose a big one. Anyway better luck next week.

This was definitely not a "the poker gods love me!" day. 43cc: Vs these two hands you are barely over 50% to win. If 75 had instead been 77, you would have been under 45%, and if the 86 had been hh instead of ss, you wouldn't even have 33% pot share. Situations like this one are the reason you generally don't want to bet big multiway on the flop. I also think that "to get draws to fold" is bad motivation for a big bet. 54ss: Is this villain a reg? That was a very good bet size by him on the turn. Definitely not a spot to x-raise after such a large bet. Also, after that bet, there is no reason to lead into him on the river. Either he was betting the flush draw and has you destroyed, or his hand has shrunk considerably, and he's not calling the jam. Better to let him determine the action on the river OR lead small, hoping for a bluff raise IMO. 55: How can you reasonably "represent" an A after limp-calling from the button? KQcc: On a T952tt board, what value hands are you shoving with? I don't remember seeing you shove with the nuts in these situations very often.... KT hand just sucked. I might have punted after that too.

I’ve been running like this for the past 3 months lol so it can get worse trust me

That’s pretty miserable

Wow you fell apart when that guy obviously had the flush on you vs that bad turn with your flopped straight. It was pretty obvious him hitting the flush on the turn so calling a turn bet is one thing but calling all in on river is lighting money on fire. I spotted his tell also the first time he turned a straight on you because when he hits a big hand he puts his hands together and fidgets them instead of keeping them apart like he does at other times.

4:45 you're too harsh on yourself about jamming 115% pot vs a milker bet. Remember, the best sizing is usually a size he's not sure to call.

Ouch, the coolers didn't help. Regardless, as you know tilt or its similar cousin, revenge mode, are killers. Thank goodness I practically never tilted when I played seriously. (My enthusiasm for the poker scene kind of dried up and wanted to do something I liked a lot better) I don't think you tilt often either so not much worry, but it's is huge problem for most. Note that I love your vlog and it actually makes me want to play again :) Not like before, but once in awhile for the challenge.

Shitty. Keep grinding.

If a vlogger never has a bad day, you know it’s BS. Suffered with you during this frustrating day. Getting rivered by flush draws is the worst. Oh well it’s just one long session and next week you’ll get it back I’m sure. You never did reveal your net result for this week, almost like you needed to punish yourself for being human and tilting. Better luck next time.
