Really appreciate your channel, Doug. Real world poker and insight into the 1/3 grind life. You're a good player, so don't let the Lodge experience last year put you off moving up stakes. The Lodge wasn't your thing, you took a chance and that's fair enough.
I see many people mentioning you are "only" playing 1-3. I would just point out that Capitol Casino 1-3 plays higher than my local 1-3. Locally, the buy in is capped at $500. When Doug mentions someone with a buy in of $1500, I think this is a higher level of play than the label 1-3 would indicate.
Great pro tip about the set when you had top pair with A-10!! My fave poker vlog, even though there are a lot of good ones! Will be in Sacramento for a few weeks this summer and hope to see you there at Capitol!
Great vlog Doug, enjoyed as always. I’ve had a personal issue (not bad) so I haven’t put in my usual volume so you got me by a bit this year profit wise.
Quite a lot of sharp play this week! Even Zeus must be pleased. "I don't have a pair... but now I have a flush" is one of my favorite things. No play offers bigger rewards than getting it in bad. Shame about February poker, good thing it's just a piece of your life. Here's to a banger of a March!
Really hoping to see when you decide to get back to be on the Lodge livestream again - was very cool to see you on there, despite your run-bad, but ideally it got some more viewers to your channel.
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VLOG. YOU GOT INCREDIBLY LUCKY ON THE FIRST PART, 2 FLUSH DRAWS & YOU HIT BOTH!! WHAT A LUCK BOX! I PLAY HERE IN SAN ANTONIO AT ROUNDERS, IVE SENT YOU SEVERAL MESSAGES ABOUT PLAYING A MEET UP GAME HERE. I PLAY IN SMALL STAKES TOURNAMENTS HERE, I HAVE DONE FAIRLY WELL. THE PAST 2 WEEKS I HAVE CASHED TWICE FOR OVER $1K. MY GAME HAS IMPROVED GREATLY SINCE I VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VLOG. THANKS!
Hi buddy, well another week slips by without incident, haha, hope youre well, best wishes from not so sunny England, I still havent gotten back into Poker, , continue to enjoy your poker journey, best wishes to all, Fraser
I prefer deeper stacks, smaller cap games play very differently. Deeper games you can play more hands and make more plays. Inexperienced players are probably better off in small cap games.
@@dougmccuskerpoker By the way another vlogger 777 poker stole your intro song from you. He used the same song lol. He is definitely not allowed. It only suits your vlog
Picture Doug in your head, singing "Sha la la la la, my lady" Now picture him singing, "Brown sugar, his come you taste so good?" I don't think he does Thunder Island or much Rolling Stones, but you're welcome for the mental images.
@@dougmccuskerpoker mine was $2,200. When you play at other casinos are you as successful or does knowing your player pool give you the best return on an average basis?
of course I don't give financial advice, I will just say what I do. I feel that BTC is entering a very bullish time with the halving and the ETFs. All Fiat currencies devalue over time whether its the $ or any other currency. I invest as though this trend will continue and therefor real assets like real estate, gold, silver and BTC will appreciate. BTC is gaining mass adoption and I feel will out perform all assets for the next 18 months. BTC is very volatile so I am careful and aware of the risks.
@@dougmccuskerpoker OK so essentially that was a token with the Bitcoin logo stamped on it. I own some cyber currency through a Grayscale EFT, specifically Etherium. Made a good deal of money between December 2020 and May 2021 and sold out enough to return my initial investment 3 times over, kept the rest. Recently of course it started another swift leg up. I’m keeping what I have forever as I see no reason not to own it.
Doug. Bitcoin is not an investment it is a speculation. As a CPA, and former Registered Investment Advisor I am going to take umbrage with your bitcoin representation. I enjoy your vlog and suggest you stick to Poker. Seriously.
I understand your hesitance to consider it an investment. I too have a money management background and felt the same when I first learned about BTC. I have changed my opinion because of the vast amount of research I have done. I won't try to convince you, I just suggest looking at it with an open mind. Larry Fink changed his mind and he is a pretty smart guy.
Doug: If people want to buy and sell Bitcoin or other crypto currencies that is their business or yours. I have done so. We have offered crypto payroll as well though after the last crash those operators dried up. With luck and timing, you can make a lot of money. You can do the same trading other fiat currencies a including the dollar. But my my definition, and that is where I took umbrage, it is not an investment. An investment is an asset or item acquired with the goal of generating income or appreciation. In my mind that does not include commodity speculation which is what bitcoin/crypto trading is. I have bought and sold commodities in business to hedge things but never as speculation. Commodity trading is a good way to make a small fortune out of a large one. Good luck though in your trading.
