- Doug continues for another round of high stakes stories. There really haven't been very many opponents to have gotten the best of him, but Doug recount his experiences some of the tougher end-bosses in the heads up streets. These include Alex Millar (Kanu), Isaac Haxton, and perhaps the smartest poker player ever: Ben Sulsky (Sauce123).

I'm streaming poker on Twitch RIGHT NOW! Watch here: www.twitch.tv/DougPolkPoker
Man, i would pay to hear more stories like this ;) Thanx
Doug Polk Poker talking about how great you are this whole video hahahahahaha
Doug Polk Poker nice story doug
The challenge finally has meaning! Keep these coming, please!
So doug you thought me the importance of balancing my ranges. Should I balance my folding ranges too? Sometimes just fold AA KK preflop to balance my range out?
These stories are my favorite poker related content on TH-cam
Agreed. DOug cAN weave a story too.
If you watch him on twitch there's so many more stories
Agreed this was absolutely tremendous
MORE STORIES ARE BETTER
YES! jUST LIKE THE MORE RAKE! XD
Facts.
These have been the best videos you have ever put out
The fact that this is 4 years old but still holds current entertainment and value is crazy…
Doug bring us more content!
it was a 4 year old story when it came out too 😅
Doug have you ever considered calling these segments "Polker Stories" ?
This is honestly my kind of humor.
not really humor just a neat play on words
the play on words is not the joke
Haven't checked his videos for like 8 months and I just realized how I missed the have you considered comments from my life
Polker After Dark
These Epic Stories from your hoghstakes online days are amazing! Please keep them up... Sooo interesting 🙏
JackinWhite We might have to wait for the Doug Polk biopic
and that is the guy Negreanu thought it would be a good idea to play heads up
Hahaha, I came here to comment the same thing
Doug won 1.2 million from him lmao
Oh my god I could listen to Doug stories forever
This is why Polk is my favorite player. He is humble enough to admit when he was beat or worse than another player. Polk believes in himself and his ability to improve and win against these awesome players. Great content, Doug is real
he was only been humble so that the brag would be bigger in the end when he beat the guy. thats like the reverse blocker of humbitality lol
UrGetinTaxed are you trying to say he isn't a good player??? I'd like to see your lifetime stats compared to his
i don't think that's what he was trying to say
kunuk1 just being a troll
Wtf? Did we watch the same video? He was fucking bragging about beating the most intelligent guys in poker. He has his ass so far up his ass. But we love him, so, fuck it.
This is genuinely the best poker video I have ever seen . Loved the stories and getting an insight into what makes someone reach the top. Thanks for this.
One of my favorite videos on TH-cam not even just bc of poker relation, but rather competition and how to approach things in life - figuring stuff out and not giving up
Hard work beats talent
Too bad I'm neither talented nor hard-working. I'm lazy as fuck and can't help it...
If talent doesn't work hard*
Trias00 need to push yourself bro
That’s why Naruto beat Sasuke
It's not that easy. Having the motivation, stamina, energy to work as hard as Doug is a gift no less than a natural talent for poker.
These are really really interesting Doug, hope you do more of this type of content, it's amazing
Doug this is my 2nd comment on TH-cam in years and I just have to say these high stakes stories from back in the day are incredible, please do more it's brilliant to listen to and I have to say it's more than a bit inspiring
I agree with many below. This was a very good, well told story and for a 12 minute video, it sure packs a lot of content and feels like a half hour worth of vlog.
This is the best video you even did. Period.
I was at the top of another thing once, I remember coming up and the process of getting there. Our stories and ah ha moments on the way up are similar. What a great feeling.
Hard to find that opportunity again in life.
I've now watched around 25 Polk videos now-- and I found this one to be the most valuable. The quality of the monologue was genuine and unscripted-- which resonates with the game of Poker itself.
These last 2 videos are the best thing ever on your channel. Love to hear more stories from those days.
really digging this style of video, playing for the challenge and telling old war stories.
awesome.
When Doug tells these stories I stop everything I’m doing to listen, thx for sharing
Having railed some of those matches it was fascinating to listen to this to the point I didn't want it to end.
doug there was a daniel negreanu ad for masterclass at the beggining of the video you should do something about that...
Something like half of that is paid to me, which will come in handy because billboards dont pay for themselves
fuck yeah doug making his own rake off daniel your a goddamn mastermind, just watched you cash first for 400$ yeah buddy! keep up the great streams learning a lot and thanks for the reply you crack me up everytiimee i watch you
This was a truly epic tale, told beautifully and hilariously.
Keep em coming, cant wait for the next story!
Cool story, Vanessa.
This is Doug Polk, totally different person.
@@gigglesinside NO thats vanessa selbst in this video
Damn, really makes you appreciate all the hard work doug has put in.
These stories make for such strong videos. Love them.
Interesting consept, I really love these new vids. Keep ’em coming Doug!
Watched it like 5 times,still gets me fired up.Thnx dude
please make more of these it's actually absurdly entertaining
I miss the old days. Back when Spirit Rock was owning everyone. And when you could run up $5 to $5k in a day with a little bit of luck. Now your lucky to not go broke on 1/2 cent
literally the best poker content you've posted
Hi Doug. Well done for getting here, and for being able to tell your story. I think this kind of platform and narrative can win you a lot in life, in terms of your platform and how influential your voice is in the game. Good luck against Negreanu
The editing of this video is brilliant.
I don't think people realize how much information about strategy Doug is giving us in this video. This opened my eyes, Thank you!
Could listen for hours to your stories man, please more!
Doug I love your unfiltered and pure honesty in saying how u exactly see things
Do more of this doug. Awesome to hear.
Loved the story time , thanks for sharing
Can you go into detail about sauce's strat during the match? I think it'd be super interesting to hear about it
firefight33 To put it simply: Ben didn't fold enough, and Doug capitalized on that by focusing on getting value from his hands, like a boss. He stated somewhere that he didn't bluff as much as he normally would.
Andi f you want a full on in depth knowledge base about Sauce, I think that much like Doug, you would have to put the money on the line to find out first hand.
Love this type of content. So cool!
This is gold, thanks for sharing!
This is the best- and most inspirational - poker video on youtube.
so good, maybe structure these into some kind of timeline series of you coming up through the ranks?
Loving the new vids bruh. Keep them coming
This format is great! Streaming poker while saying cool stories. Moar!
Great video, Doug - really enjoyed this one.
Wow...! Best video of any kind I have seen in a long time...Very interesting what you are telling :D
One of my favorite videos. Thank you 👍
Read about the chess battles of Alexander Alekhine and Jose Casablanca.
Jose was born perfect but Alex evolved beyond him.
Very inspiring. Thanks for the video Doug
more stories pls :D
The video was already gonna be amazing cause I was eating these Cheez-It Snack Mix classic snacks, but damn, incredible video
Can’t get enough of this stuff👍🏻
One of your best vids Doug, loved it !
love this format
Enjoying these videos Doug!!
5:39 HA I KNEW IT! AN EARLY DREAM MACHINE! There was so much speculation at the time :)
This is my favorite video for a while
awesome stories, would love to hear more.
amazing viedo! thank you very much
These story vids are class
Loving these!
Some of your best content :)
Decent content! Taking your time while C betting is defo something I'm going to implement and try rather then being to quick normally now.
When you stick to your roots, your videos are enjoyable. Interesting topic.
This story is particularly interesting, because I had the opportunity to play against Sauce a few yrs ago when i was in Vegas. At the time i didn't know who he was, but i was introduced to him, by his friends, when he sat down. Since he was sitting right across from me, and we were playing 4 handed most of the time ,I had the chance to talk to him, and ask him a lot of questions (cool guy...even though the cards were not going well for him,at the time,and he lost 38k, when we played).
Need more epic stories. Last 2 videos were amazing
Love these story vids
love the stories!
Love these stories sir dougie
wow, honestly, respect to Kanu for putting ego aside and making an incredibly disciplined decision to quit another reg exactly when he realized the other reg was no longer a spot. MOST players, including some of the best in the world, would not have had so much discipline.
I remember this really well. it was like....2013....14...
Classic Irony, saw Daniel Negreanu poker training ad from TH-cam on Doug Polk videos :)
Ya very interesting stuff keep it coming
Sweet vid, cheers bro!! Bazam
Nice I was just thinking Yesterday would be dope if You talk about the Sauce challenge Thanks #Respect . . . 🦊 😎
Hey doug I really enjoy "story time with papa Polk" ... Is this going to be an ongoing series?
Doug, if you will write a book about your development as a poker player - i will definetly will buy it, even if will finish my poker
career before that. It always exciting to hear/read about so pasionated people.
the best poker content ive ever watched!
This was really good game ever., And it is my first Time I saw this video Doug. 😁
I really like these stories!!
Pre black Friday. The feels
I have not played online in many years since Black Friday but really enjoy your videos. I was profitable in my millions of hands online but life changes kids etc One day when they get older with be back at tables until then can keep up to date with your videos.
Great stories! What's up Doug!
Cool video man!
This is my favorite poker story link of all time.
this is the best video you ever made on your youtube channel.
One of the best poker vids ever
love the Negreanu ads before the vid!
these poker stories are so great . Way better than dramma
hey doug!
I was wondering why you didn't play the "durrrr-challenge" back in the days when you were right on top of the game of HUNL?
Maybe Tom didnt want to play him
Worried about the escrow...
He even told you in the video he wasnt thebest yet when full tilt was around. you actually watch the video man or no?
@ 2:15 Epic Slow Roll Fold with 95s Doug! Way to balance your pre tank range! ;)
Doug would you please give examples of 2 "high-level-strategies"? What does that mean,exactly?
PANTTERA1959 he showed you quickly the game tree in this video. A high level strategy is when you're taking care of every node in your game tree and make sure every hand maximizes its EV
I think "high-level-strategy" means "can't be summarized by "here are the ten things you need to do to win." Sorry - I don't normally troll - don't know why I thought this was worth me being an a-hole.
Bet when u have em beat.
triple range merger and blockbetovershove
fold pre
Do you still have footage of those battles? Please do some highlight videos with analysis. Against Sauce, Jungle and the other high stakes regs. You know, a 1 hour Sauce episode or so. Would be epic.
lol no one without elite HU experience should be giving Doug action just on this video alone.
Dnegs two years later: "Hold my sandwich."
Hahahaha epic comment! Like!!!
Falafel sandwich, that is :D
So...Legend has it Doug had the sauce?
Balancing check-bet-bet lines and bet-check-bet lines and even check-check-bet lines is the key to being the cream of the crop
This was the best C O N T E N T!
