Doug takes a stroll down memory lane and reviews the five largest pots he's ever played. A few of them are against Viktor "Isildur" Blom, an opponent with whom he had some extensive blood matches. Also featured are the mysterious malACEsia and Denoking/wilhasha.
Some of these hands are standard, some of them are off the wall, and all of them have enormous six-figure pots. These were all played on Full Tilt Poker, the premier destination for high stakes poker before its recent closure.
Doug is in Vancouver for the PokerStars WCOOP. Check out his full schedule here: pbs.twimg.com/media/CrdIv7kVI...

Your analysis of the AA v 89 hand was top notch Doug. Good job

@itsyourgirlaly8718 7 лет назад

Restricted The board was gross and it was a great call.

@mindaza0 5 лет назад

really? not many strong hands Isildur has? 86s, 66, A6s, 96s, K6s, 55, 77, A2s, TT, 75s, 44, T7s - that is a fuk ton of combos. Yet call OTR is fine

@coyotes16 5 лет назад

mindaza0 66 and 55 don’t raise flop there. A set on that dry flop doesn’t raise the flop there either so eliminate all sets. Much less combos than that the way preflop action played out

@bekeneel 4 года назад

@@coyotes16 Can't be sure of all that, what you can be sure of tho is that Isildur is a loose and crazy player, so could easily have been a bluff, by missed flush or straight etc.. I believe, alltho it's dangerous that reraising on the flop would have been better cuz if isildur had no straight on the turn he probably folded there, otherwise you give your opponent a free ticket to the river and more chance to lose the pot ofc...

@24magiccarrot 5 лет назад

In fairness to Malacesia there is every chance they never actually slow rolled you. For all you know they could have been sitting at the table all loosey goosey eating a sandwich before electing to call.

@k_ralph9391 4 года назад

In fairness to Malacesia, he slowrolled because he is alowed to do so! Every Bumhunter will still love to suck ahm play poker with him :).

@zzzzz77771 7 лет назад

You`re a natural at this RU-vid thing, Doug. I`m only a casual player but i`m enjoying your uploads. You`re good at this.

@opcinf3612 7 лет назад

Wow Doug, i was tilted after today's session and your video changed my mood completly. Seeing how you telling a story about being slowrolled in a 400k pot with a smile on your face is incredible. You are always so positive, i need to learn that too. Love you man.

@Goscratchyourself 3 года назад

@thomaslabelle2407 7 лет назад

I imagine Doug going absolutely batshit crazy on the AKcc hand flopping the nut flush vs top set for almost 500k screaming HOLD HOLD HOLD like a maniac. God I know that would've been my reaction lol.

@jaylovesu4718 6 лет назад

So so sick..with the AA against isuldur...people don't realize how incredibly difficult it is to call with AA on that board texture. Especially with that amount of money. HERO!!!

@jihunpark941 7 лет назад

wow. sick analysis with the AA on the one card to a straight. well done. great call!

@gman86 7 лет назад

@theNiteMann 7 лет назад

Love reading those morons trying to tell you how to play poker, makes my day. Thanks so much for all the free material Doug. It's awesome to get insight on how a professional player breaks down the hands, opponents moves and how you read their possible hands. Best of luck to you!

@KyleParzich 7 лет назад

I saw hand #2 live. I watched the entire session while I was working on a project in the Comp Sci building. I just remember Doug losing sooo many huge hands that it was painful to watch.

@trueblue4034 6 лет назад

Awsome video "Team polk". It is very easy for others to make the calls when it is not there $$. Keep on grinding.

@mydogsbestfren7490 6 лет назад

what does doug say in the beginning about not as big as older pots, when what was running?

@nsdomanico 6 лет назад

@jackiewilliams4699 7 лет назад

I love watching guys play poker with their life savings lol....enjoyed the video

@tomazas08 7 лет назад

for me whats crazy...when they playing life cash games its like different peoples when they play online...online they play like crazy maniacs...no wonder so many PRO players went broke playing online

@michelcharbonnier7603 7 лет назад

These "PROs" (Eli Elezra, Gus Hansen, Mike Mattusow and many others) went boke online because they found out the hard way that online players are just so much better than the fish they were used to playing with in life games and also much better than themselves. You can even put in greats like Phl Ivey in there, who were crushing life fish but were crushed themselves by playing against much better players online we don't even know their names.

@tomazas08 7 лет назад

Michel Smiffi nahh most likely when you play same peoples over and over...you just know everything about them....but when you play online its different

@EimSbuShHustla 7 лет назад

how much u take for coachings doug ?

@heronmyer3780 7 лет назад

How big must your roll be to play HU against isildur 500bb deep 200/400? I know it's not like a bread and butter game that runs daily but losing a 500k pot must hurt, unless you have 50M roll which we know nobody had except maybe gus hansen and PI.

@matvei15 4 года назад

Wait, where was the flop in the AA v. KK hand?

@najim4883 7 лет назад

hey doug .thit you win the AA vs KK ?

@mickeydusk 7 лет назад

This was really cool to watch. Your the man dp. Haha. I just said dp.

@MasDingos 7 лет назад

I dig these type of videos. However, for online, especially against some of the players mentioned here, I think it'd be really interesting to go thru numerous hands at a table to get a better feel for your actions based on player tendencies, tells, ranges etc. To get more of a feel for what you're doing based on these ideas...

@blahblahbleh__9046 4 года назад

Wait, so did you win the first hand?

@FriendsForFriends666 Год назад

question: i can barely remember what i had for dinner the last 3 days but vividly remember a hand from 15 years ago. in every detail, history and notes from the guy, bet sizes, my whole process of thought. why?

@eggsbacongritsandsausage8178 7 лет назад

@joshuapatrick682 7 лет назад

@thecactuus 3 года назад

When isildur jams on the flop on the last hand, I wonder what you do if you only have the ace of clubs. What would be the play in that situation?

@vincentsperrazza5926 7 лет назад

@Columbine-en3qc 7 лет назад

@erez615 6 лет назад

Can somebody please explain how did he win the last hand? I'm new to poker, and I thought 3 tens are stronger than a pair of aces :/

@davidgatten1033 6 лет назад

Doug flopped a flush (5 cards of the same suit), a flush beats trips. Also, just so you know, Doug's flush was "the nut flush" meaning that no other flush could beat his because his flush had the ace.

@theatrobert 2 года назад

Were your aces cracked? You didn't show the run out :(

@seymendex 7 лет назад

who won the first hand thou??

@Trias805 7 лет назад

I don't understand the way your opponent played the KK in the first hand. I know it's heads up, you both were probably very aggressive. But still, did he expect you to shove QQ or AK for 500bb for value? Or did he expect a bluff over his 5bet often enough to justify stacking off? I might be a nit, but I just don't understand this play with such deep stacks.

@Badbentham 7 лет назад

Exactly my thought. Back in the old days of Sklansky or Harrington, this was the textbook spot to fold KK. However, ever since, some maniacs started to ship especially A5s (blocking an A, wheel, flush, overcard) in similar spots (maybe still slightly less deep) , making it a quite ugly situation. Still, when it doubt, the fold looks even in HU like the cleaner option to me. - And true, QQ and AK can never be for value, here.

@tommyfu9271 7 лет назад

lol yea fold kk to hyper aggro players hu that will work out great

@mycommentpwnz 4 года назад

What's funny is in the hand when Doug had 5/6 of spades, and he said, "I'm only dead if my opponent has 77, 74, 44," I swear to God I thought, "Well, you're half dead if he has 7 / 8."
