What a lineup on this table. Miss the days of poker when this was a frequent occurrence.

Gotta love Dwan's facial expressions

You can tell this guy is jealous of how rich Tom Dwan is, let's see you play on a high stakes cash game for millions of dollars there douche hawk.

"He played this hand like an idiot and now has top pair."

Dwan's face at 9:20 is priceless Starts with 😑 as he bets river, Sees Patrik put chips in pot 😯 Sees Patrik's chips are WAY more than a call 😦>😧>😮>😲>😳>😵>😱

No reference to the best Phil Ivy joke of all time on this clip. Shame. IVY: I don't drink until after midnight. It's good for weight loss. HELMUTH: Is it? IVY: No.

i saw you on my advertising youtube clips, But I have subscribed before. Nice to see a real pro giving his point of view in poker

Hey Doug, it would be cool if you make analyses of older poker hands as well, like those of Stu Ungar, Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, etc. Thanks!

Doug, Great hand analysis. Keep'em coming!

Great video Doug, keep up the good work, I love your channel.

Doug has a man crush on Dwan. Edit... I'm now convinced that Doug Polk and Tom Dwan are in fact the same person. All joking aside I have nothing but respect for you Doug. I'm new to poker and you were the first streamer I watched. You've inspired me to continue to improve my game. Also think it's cool the High Schools we went to are 30 minutes apart. Keep up the good work. Didn't intend to offend.

DOUG, thanks for this videos, you are doing a really good job!

From watching all of PAD, I have noticed that he will take this exact line with in this case a deuce in his hand. He seems to like to lead and barrel paired boards so by that logic he has to have a wider range and not just 3 of a kind every time he does it. I agree with you that it's weird but he does have lots of experience playing these players and maybe that was a factor we couldn't comment on.

Although Dwan's line is obviously weird, I think all of the action in the hand was probably influenced by the props (Phil, Patrik and Daniel were all involved). I forget who had what suits, but based on the side bets they had, some players were MUCH more likely to have diamonds. Also I think the reason Ivey played the 87 was because they had side bets that were 5-10k (plus multipliers for hitting on consecutive flops) for hitting the 7 of your suit. So I believe Ivey's 7d was a blocker to the props.

You are the best Doug !!! You can beat, even drunk, this bet station, no logic at all, players !!!

I love the freeze frame at 11:42 of Tom's face. That coupled with you at the same time saying "He's played this hand like an idiot...", is amazing.

I would love to see you in the GPL next season, I know you mentioned why you dont like it in poker new but the idea of you playing against some of the best players and the likes of jason mercier would be amazing

Dude, the look on Antonious is priceless. I love this guy!

thank you man!! its great

Amazing commentary, learned so much over the year from u thanks

I like hearing what you have to say while simultaneously trying to wonder what these players were thinking

Trying to watch Doug`s video but stunned by Doug`s commercial. Dougception has become real.

11:44 "Tom Dwan play this hand like an idiot and now he has top pair" lol

I kind of like a check/call on the river if I'm Dwan. There are a ton of missed draws that gives your opponent an opportunity to bluff and we probably have the best hand unless Antonius really did flop 33 or had like an A2s type hand. But maybe there's some meta reads I am not privy to.

"I don't really mind folding, calling, or raising here, but keep in mind folding wouldn't bother me but you could just call, but also if you raise well it costs more for you and others" ...Doug Polk.

So many amazing poker players around this table.

Fantastic poker analysis like always Doug but the one thing I think you're forgetting to mention here is these guys dwan Ivey and antonious have played together so much so you have to keep that in mind They kno each other so well that's prob why you see dwan doing that flop bet and antonious doing that river re-raise bluff he prob doesn't make that play against any1 but tom cuz tom 'knows him well' (played lots of hands against him) so that has to be mentioned / kept in mind when u see them doing unorthodox plays like that Fantastic stuff like always Doug keep up the amazing poker videos miss your gamer mentality and drive in the game but always for ppl doing what is right for them / makes them happy Much love Doug

Interesting, I feel like the confusion that Dwan gives Polk only proves how good Dwan really is.

I appreciate ur passion for the game

I think Dwan was repping specifically a deuce. He called out of the SB with very good pot odds, so he definitely should have some deuces like A2s, 32s and 42s in his range, especially since he is Tom Dwan who has very wide ranges in general and if you made trip 2s on the flop, it's very reasonable for him to lead out twice, since often times Ivey as the preflop aggressor will check with Patrick being behind him and Patrick will check also a ton because other than middle pairs he rarely has value here. And even those are good pot control checks on occasion.

Where do I watch these complete episodes?

Nice videos man

love it doug !!! ”he played this hand like an idiot and now he has top pair”

It sounds like Doug doesn't like Dwan

i wish you would more table dynamics; when ivey raise with 87 he is likelier to play with tom only since hellmuth negreanu were on the tighter preflop range , ivey probably was thinking im gonna be playing with BB tom so i have position and that was good enough for him. also they were playing 300 /600 with 100 ante wich makes raising with 87 easier

I love these Durrrr win

Seriously sick and genius how Tom Dwan played this hand. It was like art.

How did I know this video was gonna be 10 minutes longer than it should be

Dug you're an absolute beast

Doug, I will tell you what you should know. Tom is saying with the flop bet that with that rag flop, if patrik did not hit the flop or don't have a pocket pair, tom is ahead with his ace, and has a nice kicker with the jack. why not bet the flop? he is still looking at two over and a back door flush draw, which would be the nuts with the ace. plus if a 4 falls on the turn he opens up for the wheel. I like toms play.

Hey Doug, is it possible that Tom wants to lead all of his 2s on the flop and take control of the action in fear that it will check through, but also wants to check all of his draws? Then to balance the lead with any 2, he picks the best possible hand that he wouldn't 3 bet pre flop (assuming he 3bets AQ and AK) and that isn't a draw, which is AJ. This way when he gets called, he's actually ahead of hands like KQ, and draws like Antonius has

The only time i have ever taken a line like this was a wierd pot where I flatted a 3-bet with QQ, had an over pair all the way, but the board was such that I couldn't afford to give free cards to my two opponents (1 opponent after the flop), so I took it three streets for value. Dwan isn't doing that, but if he had maybe KK it would make more sense.

BTW who haven't seen the the sixth season of poker after dark, they are doing flips 100k each blind pre-flop, like 3-4 times

I think that’s a great move from Antonio although he lost. He correctly put Dwan on two over cards until the turn. Dwan would have bet the more or less the same amount on the river whether or not he paired his jack. Antonio has position on him and made it look like I’m slow playing holding a 2 (at least). That’s a great move IMO and would have worked if an A or J hasn’t shown up on the river.

Yo Doug you should make one of those cash game poker vlogs of you playing at the casino

no idea why some of your vids got so many dislikes they are top notch

This vid gave me a Jivaro software add, is that relevant at all in the modern scene of software?

How about you analyze hand Dwan vs Zigmund where both of them had full houses(Ilari had 9s full of 7s, and Durrrr 7s full of 9s), and/or I believe one of the most memorable Poker After Dark hands Ivey vs Zigmund (flush vs full house on the river) ?

I love the contrast of poker faces between Patrik and Tom.

This is sucha sick call. DURRRR the GOAT

dwans flop lead is weird but I don't hate it. he's repping a duece, and as the guy who called out of the small blind he is the most likely guy to have it. He also has the Ad, so he can rep huge on diamonds because he blocks the nut flush. the two overcards are a nice bit of bail out equity too. Given the flop texture he also has the best hand a decent % of the time, but he probably can't win even when he does have the best hand of he checks. If you are going to have a donking range in this spots this isn't a terrible hand to use as a bluff IMO.

You forget that these guys all used to play on HSP and love playing the 7 2 game. It's not unrealistic to think Antonius has a boat.

Hi Doug. Just was wondering if you ever played HU against Tom, Ivey or Patrik? Would love to see it if you ever did

Doug! I think Tom was saying I have Ace high which is good... like it’s Ivey and antinoius no1 ever has anything lol

I think Tom dwan does this only because he have the A of diamond, knowing noone else could have the nut flush draw, 223, with 2 diamonds should be a relative safe flopp unless someone has a 2 or 33, wich is very unlikely, most likely hands that will continue are drawing hands or a overpair. perhaps some 3,4 3,5 hands aswell. depending on the card he can continue to bluff the turn, a 7 make sense to continue bluff with, straight/flush draw misses, an overpair will still continue with just a call. now the pot bet size is great, polarizing antonios calling hands and putting the pressure on, but also gives great amount of information, when he calls here, he should have overpairs, or combo draw like flush/straight draws, If another diamond comes, I 100% believe he fire on it aswell but with the J, I think he can safely value it, knowing all draws missed and get value from, 88s 99s 1010, maybe even 55s, 66s. The reason I think he will continue to fire on the river if another diamond comes is the same reason I think he even started to bluff at this pot from the beginn with, if another diamonds come he can represent it knowing noone else has the nutflush. and if the flush misses, he can still bluff out those draws that missed, like naked flush draws or combo draws like 64 of diamonds, 6,5 diamonds by representing an overpair like 88s, 99s or in some cases even boats, I think it makes more sense for dwan to have hands like 22,33 A,2 suited or 77s than antonious. So even the flush misses but bricks, like a 8c he can still put pressure and get some folds out of antonius overpairs if he has one. Remember the pot size bet on the river aswell, thats why its so chocking when he gets raised, because its so polarized on a board like this. Basically saying its full houses or better, and I think there is more bluff hands hands that will do this than value hands, and to call roughly 90k more to win 320k should be profiting in the long run, specially against a player like antonious whos range is very wide and are definitive one of the likely players to do stabbs like this. If I'm not misstaken its 3:1 odds, so he needs to be right what about 33% of the times? I think he is against a player like antonious just my amatuere analyze

Wow, just looked at this video without sound and i analyzed it almost spot on with what you said "Banzai san". LOL...high stakes here i come..lol..i just want to get out of the micros!!!!...

Doug, bro! It is not calling raises. It is calling Dwan's bets by Antonius :-)

Can you do some of the "Big Game" hands please :)

that pot wouldve paid off my house, student loan, and car....grrrr

Seidel vs Urbanovich EPT 2015 Grand Final SHR Heads Up for the title analysis please, when Seidel called on the river with J High

Tom Dwan isn't missing mate. I saw him being interviewed last week and promoting an upcoming high roller event (which he said he intended to win).

I know I'm way late on this one but Doug can be savage at times. "Tom Dawn being Tom Dawn, and that's why he ended up being on milk carton".

"i think he haas an overpair" "i think youre right is that AK?" lol wtf Leanne

Hey Doug, big fan, love the bankroll challenge... why don't you call this segment 'Polker Hands' seeing as how your surname is Polk...? It would make a nice pun...

Okay, the hand is interesting to watch and analyze and all. But has anybody mentioned Peat's hair?

Haha, I kind of like this play in a way. If Dwan knows that Ivey opens this wide, and Antonius flats this wide in position, Dwan should get more than enough folds on the flop. The funny thing is, that even though Dwans ranged is capped, he likely has the strongest range of all players here, AJo is surely ahead of Iveys and Antonious ranges, and maybe it plays better as a donk than a awkward check call. AdJx doesn't seem like the worst bluff hand either. Any A or J is likely good, and he can barrel overcards and diamonds. Even when called, he probably figures he can fold out most of the low pairs by the river. I mean, don't get me wrong, you will get into a shit ton of weird spots by playing like this and I can't recommend it to anyone, but Dwan is obviously quite comfortable with taking creative/batshitcrazy lines

This is just Tom Dwan being Tom Dwan. He loves putting pressure on people and that is why he is so good. Patrick represented what you said: a full house. Tom called him.

@Doug Polk Poker Ever think of calling these Polka hands? You could play Polka music in the intro. I think it would be cool cause your last name is Polk.

Where did the Haxton poster go?

"picked off a nice little bluff there" FOR 6 FIGURES!!

How did you get the twitter account "[social media handle]"?

Anyone have the link to watch the full game please?

Which season is this?

Dug I need 3.50 to plaqy bouty builder on starts i blew my bankrolll on beat the clock Cristiano take all my money i used to play high stakes with Ted Forrest... PLEASE HELP THANKS DUG ILOVE YOU

(Turn bet is $16,300, not $6,500.) Dwan is leading for some pretty big bets; nearly 80% on flop, and close to 90% on turn - I mean, I guess it also depends if the video has been edited in any way, because we get the impression Antonius is calling pretty quickly on both flop and turn - so Dwan should probably be worried if this is the case. If Dwan has a reputation for being hyper-aggressive, you want to let him hang himself sometimes, especially when he's out of position. Also note that Tom is holding the Ace of Diamonds; that also might influence what he thinks Patrick might have - ie: it makes a busted flush less likely, if he's considering combinatorics here. It actually sounds like Tom is making a crying call - the thing is, he's getting about 2.5:1 on a call; Top-Top is usually good more than 28.5% of the time on this type of board if we're going directly by the maths - but the thing is, Dwan has put himself in this horrible position by making such big flop and turn bets with no hand - the fact he's made a hand on the river is kind of redundant; his flop and turn bluffs were way too big if Antonius actually has trips or better here. If Antonius puts in a bigger raise on the river, he *might* get Dwan off his hand - but it would probably need to be at least 180,000 - Dwan might have put in too much money, regardless, when he makes this hand.

Dug Polker... I can dig it.

btw Ivey is UTG/LJ no? Hellmuth - HJ, Antonius - CO, DNEGS - D, Dwan - SB, Viffer - BB

daniel negreanus analysis killed me :D like dwan ever has a overpair here

Amazing play by dwan

@Doug After the turn you said Tom might be trying to represent 10s or 9s. Why wouldn't you think he could have Js or Qs? Another thought, please correct me - I think if he had a 2 or a 3, he would have checked to see if Ivey raises but since he didn't he wouldn't have a 2 or a 3. Am i thinking right?

What do you think about check calling river as Dwan?

The intervieweress had no clue what just happened..

I think Negreanu summed this up, Dwan represented overpair sensing weakness in Antonius.

How calling with 6-4 suited in the CU could be "okay" if opening with 87 offsuit UTG is too loose ?! I don't understand that part… Or is it okay because it's Ivey so we know he has a wide range ?

Damn that milk carton diss.... brutal

I think he went for the flop lead because he has the A of diamonds and could block the nut flush on the turn if a diamond comes. I doubt he would have led the flop without the ace of diamonds. What do you think Doug?

I agree with leading the flop and turn here, however those amounts are reaaally weird, basically Dwan is either having the nuts or saying "Look buddy I have Ax of diamonds here, you should fold, your draw is not as good." and Antonious knows Dwan's weird line, that's why let's him lead and doesn't raise the flop, to let him bluff. If there river is not a J it would've veen better, Antonious would've still raised or potted and Dwan would either fold/jam given all the missed draws out there.

would a3 of clubs be the best hand for antonius to be bluffing here? cant think of a better one

Good job Durrr!!!

I would love to see you call a hand with the cards down. pat could have had A2C AND had a set with top kicker. sometimes you bet figuring what the other guy dont have. I f you have A high, on a 2 7 9 rainbow board, your A is usually good, if the big is already out.

haven't finished video yet but i'm surprised you say flatting turn is better than a raise. i would have thought it reasonable to separate your ranges here. also, in a recent vid you said it's generally not good to flat draws that lose to bluffs. i'm guessing there's just not enough value hands to have a raise range, but flatting 6 high vs aggro spazz feels like you only win when you hit...

I'm new to poker, but been watching a lot of videos. Can someone please explain who's money they're playing with? Sponsors? Promoters? Their own money? Who is paying for what?

"He played this hand like an idiot and now has top pair." Lost it. =D

"picked a nice little bluff" of 135k $

what's the side bet Ivey and Daniel are making?

Daniel explained the hand in 5 seconds. Polk was clueless the entire video! Lmao

Imagine sitting at this table

bazam. great video brah. ...I'm all in on your coaching competition bro. you know what to do bro lol

"He played this hand like an idiot" hahaha!

These shows made poker soft coz everyone wanted to become a spewtard...now it's all nits :(
