This Guy CAN'T BELIEVE He Just Got Check-Raised 

Should Dan Colman Fold POCKET ACES In This $828,000 Pot?! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WauJYoqiK_M.html

I’ve already apologized to Art (who I consider a friend) for the "you got it" + pump fake chip toss a few seconds before mucking my cards. Although I was too tilted for any sort of rational thought by this point in the session and have never done anything like that in a poker hand in my life prior, there's no excuse that makes it okay. That combined with my aggressive whining in this hand, it’s just a bad look. I expect better of myself as someone who works hard to try to make the poker table a fun, parasite-free environment for all. For the keyboard warriors who are still deeply offended, Art texted me saying: “I don’t believe for one second you were intentionally trying to angle me.”

You guys gotta remember he bluffs his thumbnails 5-7 percent of the time.

I like that Doug is working towards keeping his Thumbnail range balanced after all these years of being exploitable.

One of the great personalities over poker. If poker is going to blow up again we're gonna need this guy.

Damn, Doug, you got me. Way to balance your thumbnail range.

Doug you are the best, absolute joy to watch. The banter would just be unreal

thought we lost you, welcome back. Missed your stuff. You're the best!!

Welcome back! Missed your Poker vids!

At 19:54 I think you forgot it was a check raise, DP. Enemy having more Queens is a reason to reduce my betting frequency, not a reason to under-defend the bets I do make in position.

I miss your poker stuff and I learned a lot with u, so... ur welcome for new episodes! Another thing: you are sometimes presented as a youtube celebrity but before this WGCrider is a poker/online poker legend! I know u fro 10 years ago and you make part of this big highstakes history. GL

Excited to hear you will be streaming again! Let's get'em! I like what Jeff Gross does, Travels to play online for big events.

Idk I think Garrett played it perfectly with the bet fold. AA would make a much better call IMO as his opponent might just fold KQ facing a 4 bet pre flop, so AA has much better removal considering his opponent is much more likely to continue with AQ. KK is certainly the bottom of Garrett’s value range so GTO seems to favor a fold as well

thanks for not spoiling the video with the thumbnail. I like being surprised and trying to figure out how the hand will play.

Love this video Doug! Awesome review of the hand. Such an epic bluff.

Doug, always love your insight and recommend you and your content to every player who ever asks me about poker. Total respect. Question I have for you and anyone here is, based on a line of 4 bet/flat, check/check, check call smallish turn, check...what hands can Garrett expect to call for value on river? Seems to me based on that line both took, it’s a clear check back?? Art has to specifically have JJ or JT maybe where TT or KQs AQs seem to make more sense. Just not as many worse hands calling. Any insight appreciated as I see river as clear check back unless committed to calling check raise. And it’s UTG v SB...even more reason for check back IMHO

Love the HUD on this, and the split screen.

Great analysis. Didn't even think of considering the suits of the Kings as the Hand was so intense.

About which overpairs to call with, Doug forgets an important point : Art won't luff with a hand that blocks A5hh like AhKo. So AhAd or AhAs are also pretty good candiate for calling bcs the Ah doesn't block the bluff combos of Art (therefore making it more likely that he has a bluff) while the As or Ad blocks some of the suited AQ (making it less likely he has a value hand).

BLUFFED ME WITH THE THUMBNAIL!!! I got used to how he played, but he switched it up and I walked right into it!

Doug, The NV NJ MERGE is happening May 1st!! Come back to wsop there will be lots of action!!!

I really liked the breakdown and analysis of this hand...which means that I finally had to subscribe! Keep up the great content!

STOKED for the streaming to come. THANK YOU!

I’m back at the tables & I heard your voice Doug when I’m in action “build that pot”, “get value”, don’t call with...🙌🏼

Art is really smart to keep totally composed until his cards hit the muck. That little chip throw could easily caused him to lose composure, whether it was an angle or not (the way Garrett looked at art afterward looked like he was gauging his reaction)

Seen this hand so many times but it's still great

First video that was a surprise. Keep up this amazing run Polk. One more for the PB

Great video Doug. Do you think It'll be easier for player holding Kings to bet flop and turn (assuming he's not check raised), and check the river?

One of my favorite hands - watching it live was great to watch

Doug when you were gone I played a crazy hand that I have to tell you about. I went to a casino (Stones) and fired up some 1/2 action. I bought in deep so that I can bully around the small stacks (because I saw a video on ICM which basically said to bully small stacks). I loaded up $400 and was ready to get my cookie jars out. The first hand I played I got 72. I decided to play it since I once saw you play this hand on PokerGo. As I called I said "if Doug Polk played 72, then it can't be that bad". Unfortunately for me the entire table heard me but I decided to play my hand anyway. The board came out AK5 all hearts. My 2 was a heart. I checked the raiser bet I called trying to hit a heart. The turn was a black 3. I checked, he also checked. The river was the 8 of diamonds. The pot is about $50 at this point, he has well over $400 and I have about $375 behind. Since I had the heart blocker, I decided to go all in. He tanked for 9 minutes then called with QJ of hearts. When you played 72 your bluff worked but every time I bluff with 72 they have the nuts. So my question is what did I do wrong? What should I do next time?

I tired this line in mircostakes I got called down within a split second with top pair

As soon as I seen a polk card video I MUST WATCH! Keep on grinding doug.

19 Q's? I had a guy on 17 Q's once...I was way off. He only had 12.

If he had a Queen, the comment section would be like: ThIs Is NeVeR a BlUfF, iT jUsT iSnT

I love the play by Art on the river, because it all the way looks like he's laid a trap from Garret's point of view it smells like he's slow played something big.

Glad to see you back Doug!

Doug, i absolutely love your vids! I can't help but feel you might call in this spot but I'm wondering if this is a situation where you should preplan what you are going to do prior to betting river? I think G he bets assumes he's good.. Then out of left field, the reraise.. I'm thinking tank/call..

At the end you mention KdKs as an easy fold, and some moments earlier it was a call. I presume it´s a call since KQs is no longer available and the last statement was a slip-up?

Hey man, can you tell me the technology you bought for your glasses (the yellow/blue light one)? I really need one of those.

great analysis, my play style value bets the river.. especially with checking all the way down.. then it gets suspicious..with a check raise like this if I had kings, I woulda played it more aggressively, but I feel like AK would fold I would get myself into trouble a lot.

As always, excellent analysis. Good job Doug.

Hey Doug can you do the AA vs KK hand that was played between Garrett and some other new guy plz? thanks in advance :)

Welcome back doug! missed your videos!

A stream!!! Finally, I've been dying over here

Hey Doug, could you post a link to the Jungleman video where he talks about the ongoing Durr challenge? I really enjoyed the interview with Phil Helmuth upload.

It’s easy to make the call when you can see all the cards.

Regarding the bankroll challenge starting may 1st wsop NV will be merged with NJ and DE which will surely increase the action IMO

Garrett is a beast, I wish I had one tenth of his skill. Good video and liked the surprise at the end. 👍

I don't understand why you suggest Garret should bet the river. Garret's range doesn't really have that many queens or 8s in his range, while this board smacks Art's range with a 2x4. It seems like betting this on the river is pretty just begs Art to shove bluff you with a huge portion of his range. Why not just check and take the pot rather than put yourself in what is almost certainly a difficult decision?

Bluffing on that thumb nail though. Doug Polk's greatest bluff!?

I think Art could definitely have 87s or 98s here too... I mean he 3-bet pre which he could do with those hands to balance out his valuerange and then called the 4-bet which he could do in order to have some suited connectors in that range too cause he wants to protect himself and not be capped to only overpairs on those middling boards.

Great twist with the thumbnail! Good stuff Doug

doug glad you had a holiday but damn you've put on some weight buddy time to hit the treadmill i wish you the best health

Doug you should of been in the line up. Can't wait to see you back on the poker table. It's a better look than your stand up comedy even tho I haven't seen it. I might check it out

Doug, your videos are the absolute best by far. Thanks for this and best of luck at WSOP tournaments or cash games!

That picture of you in the background is priceless lol

Pretty strong ballsy play by Art, but Garrett melted down and stopped thinking, choosing to talk instead.

Doug around 9 minutes in you talked about Art trapping QT, is that a hand I can call with oop facing a 4 bet heads up? As of now I would fold that, just wondering how you would play that given your range thanks for all the tips by the way your videos are great

Thanks for coming back after a well deserved vacation! :)

Hehe, awesome hand and nice mislead there. Thought he was going to call :). More videos man I am all caught up!

Man seriously how the fuck people are not yet bored of the Vanessa Joke or the Polker hands joke i find it impossible on how can someone still find this funny

You're back! Finally.....I can come off the ledge.

Welcome back from vacation Vanessa! You look like the food must have been gooood!

A new Poker Hands! This makes my afternoon! PogChamp

Doug my man your video are awesome you damn poker genius you. Peace and keepem comin

I just have one question. what are you getting value from on the river?

You are hilarious, keep doing you man. I just laughed at two of your videos.. That Charlie Chaplin guy got ROASTED

Doug, don’t you think the K or A of hearts is a better blocker to have rather than diamond or clubs as it blocks KhQh or AhQh which would be logical hands for your opponent to have in there turn check trapping range without a full house.

Don’t agree Doug, Art almost never has a Queen here. The only hand Art plays like this are Q10, 1010, QQ and sometimes 88. We can discount Q9s,QJs,KJ,AQ. All these combos are likely c/r on the turn due to the flush draws/straight draws that exist combined with the fact that Art will be out of position on the river which makes it awakward when Garrett range is more weighted towards check downs river when he checks back on a paired flop. Art is also very likely to lead turn himself with a Queen sometimes as Garrett’s check back looks like a hand that has some value which is likely to call at least 1 bet. The problem for Garrett is what bluffs does Art have?

Doug, I do like the attempt to balance potential spoilers with thumbnail bluff, but for optimal non-spoiler frequency, one must do this half of the time, not once in a blue moon

Great Videos. I've been playing poker mostly no limit holdem for little over 35 years. I'm always learning something new and the young guns seem to have a gift these days for breaking down the game. 🍻💵💷💶💸💳💰💎

I like the subject matter and 25% of the helpful insight in Polks videos BUT He just goes on foreeeeeeeever! So much rambling about the “what if’s” and random card combos that really distract from the poker hand we’re watching. He picks good hands to comment on but he just talks and talks and talks and talks until I’m looking for another video to watch because I’ve given up waiting on him to get back to the damn hand. Several times now I quickly choose one of his videos unknowingly but then go “whoap! Never mind, it’s the dude who likes to hear himself talk again🤦🏻‍♂️ next video”

Hopefully you will do the A-J vs 10’s hand as well

Who else replayed that angle on the river a few times.. sick shit bro

Full respect to Garret you were man up to say it out but at you guys level i believe you are all good poker players

I'm confused. On the river it was discussed that your best call would be K♤K◇ because all combos of KQs are blocked. After this (around 19:10 or so), Doug then goes on to say he would fold his bad calls such as K♤K◇. Did I misunderstand something or did he confuse the suits and mean to suggest folding K♧K♡ due to not blocking and combos of KQs? Edit: Gave the explanation another listen. After he says " I will fold my particularly bad calls" he stutters before saying the suits. My live pro read suggests he said the wrong suits. 😀

Ah Doug your hand analysis is so good! I know you don't like doing them but please! Think of us dude! Best

Great video as always. May I ask what you don't like about ACR? Is there something not so legit about the site?

Great play by art. I will say that arts tanning range is to monochromatic

15:10 This move is detailed in Art's new poker book The Art Of Deception: An Advanced Guide To No Limit Texas Hold Em'.

Big balls on that bluff. I'd want to fold pocket kings too. I'd be very worried about getting beat on the flop and slow played.

YESSSS. Love this hand and now Vanessa is reviewing it, nice!

Whats up Doug, Guys Polk here!

Doug messes up my game makes me over think everything lol

I wouldve folded pocket kings myself in that situation. Its REALLY hard to fold Aces or Kings but you must at some point. We know what they have cause we're watching it on RU-vid but in real life it's pretty scary to call when your opponent has a couple ways that he can possibly have you beat

Hey Doug, I'm confused about one thing. At 18:30 you talk about how AAs KKs Spades/Diamonds are mandatory calls and AAs KKs clubs/hearts are mandatory folds, but then at 19:25 you say "I'm gonna fold my particularly bad calls like a hand with King of diamonds/King of spades in it." So which one is it? What am I missing?

Thanks for balancing the thumbnail range. Not even joking.

Seriously about time. I thought you disappeared and left us. Like a great tv show that randomly gets cancelled

think about playing the challenge on global poker? would be good pr for the site with your viewership..

Nice one Doug, good thumbnail choice

nice one doug ..was good to watch n see what n who won ..we come here everyday anyway n not knowing what will happen adds to it ..although it won't draw as many in ..it will entertain us solid fans.. 0range

Hey Doug, big fan here. Have you ever thought of calling this video series Polker Hands? I think it would really benefit your brand.

Doug I beg of you to explain the legality of ACR in USA

It feels like all your explanations (which I think are sound) lead us to conclude checking back is better.

Sick outcome bluff Doug. Got me.

I'd check 80% of the time against Tom dwan and Paul phua on that board.

Lol, nice "spoiler" in the thumbnail! I wonder how many wont watch the last minute and never realize xD

Superb as usual, Doug.

Doug, on Garrett's flop decision: you start by discussing potentially how many more QX Art has in his range than Garrett, but then advocate for Garrett to bet full range otf. Wouldn't it make more sense for him to check full range on a fairly dry board since he has less monsters, and then look to extract value mostly on turns and rivers?

Dougie Fresh is baaaack. BAZAM!
