I really enjoy the way you teach, Doug. Not simply: this is the best way this hand should be played, but instead, how to actually think about the hands with a focus on the process.
So much wisdom in this video that I didnt get when I was a beginner watching. Range betting since oop has pocket pair advantage, bluffing small pairs on high boards, never slowplaying ip, large sizing on river because of capped range
One of the biggest misconceptions Phil Hellmuth has is "the people don´t get it...". His exceedingly insular perception makes him vulnerable. Most people who are watching poker vids nowadays have a pretty good idea of what´s going down.
It was a clear fold for Phil on the river. Any one - pair hand would have checked behind in Liv's position. The only bluff hand is A high diamond draw, and would have bet near pot size on the river.
Hey Doug. The craziest hand I've seen recently is Nguyen vs Bicknell on Poker After Dark last week. Bicknell turns black AQo into a bluff raise on the river on Qh9d2h 8h 2c! At first I thought this was just bad, but now I'm not sure. Would LOVE to see a hand analysis on this. PLEASE
This is the first video of yours that I have seen, but I am a fan already. The way you explain the hands, the thought process and different hand possibilities, as well as the reasonings for bet sizes all made a lot of sense to me. Im gonna sub and check out the rest of your channel. Great job man!
I was considering leaving a comment about you using TRAPS ironically because clearly checking AA on the flop is not a trap until the turn came. Well done sir. You are quite the wily one... you should consider poker. Also, around 9:30 point, you make the best argument for GTO against the biggest possible drawback. I never considered that if they are playing in a poor way against some of your holding you lose on, over time they are making more mistakes than "great hero calls/folds." You are still the man sir.
I only watched it because of Liz. Watching her laugh at the end was worth it! I'd probably just play hand with her and wouldn't care if I lost or won. she would take me to the cleaners cuz I wouldn't be able to concentrate!
I had to go back to Mueller's fold, because I thought he folded the case 5, but it was a 6. I remember how badly edited the "Poker After Dark" games were edited, and if you were to believe the pre-pot action, every third hand was a foul deck.
@@williamzagarella8066 man, ever since I have turned on notifications for YT comments I have been surprised by the amount of replies I get to ancient comments. Anyways, I had no memory of this hand so I had to rewatch it. I often watched poker hands like that while enjoying a few glasses of rocket fuel. Suffice it to say, it appears we are both wrong. Lee folded the case 5. Mueller folded what looks like J8. I might have seen the five at first and was too upside to realize it was from action before Mueller. Who knows? I miss "Doug's Polker Hands" though. Good/entertaining analysis.
That's why i tell everyone that set mining is the best strategy with aces. Only go for a raise when they are suited otherwise see a flop and get out of the pot
Polk needs to get out of this mindset that "this play is good, this play is bad" it ALL DEPENDS DOUG. Based off of what feels what reads your getting AS WELL. Well played Phil.
I really enjoy watching Phil take a beating, pretend nobody in the world could've played his hand better, cry about life being unfair, then boldly proclaim he's gonna bust them later due to how bad they play. Very ironic. Watching, and listening to, everybody at the table laugh at his childish antics is the icing on the cake
golfmaniac007 If that's the only useful takeaway you got from this video, you must not play much poker. Bet sizing, ranges, etc. are all at play and they are all quite relevant.
She may have been worried Phil had the AQ or possibly 10-10, JJ, or KK since he raised pretty big pre-flop. Her bets were well sized enough to get some value while at the same time inviting Phil to raise her with a weaker hand.
True. And while it's arguably true that perhaps he shouldn't have played it so slow, it is not automatically "wrong" to play things differently on occasion for myriad reasons. It's shallow to judge a person's play based on a single result. Statistically speaking, Phil would probably win quite a bit of money in this exact situation by playing it exactly as he did. And, as you pointed out, he could have very easily made a big raise at the end and actually did a great job in suspecting that might not be wise.
William Nolan it’s pretty objectively wrong to pick a very wet and straightening board like that to slow play Aces on tbf to Doug. If Phil wants to slow play Aces he can’t be doing it on boards like this where his opponents range has quite a lot of equity against his Aces
If Phil bet the flop, then 22-88 likely go away. And thats ok, because then this thing does not happen. Its not just the percentage of the time, which Liv spikes a set on the turn or river, thats the problem. Its also the money, Phil pay her off, when it happen. This hand is the definition of creating your own cooler.
Imagine if Phil knew that was the case 5. He was right to complain about the one-outer that somehow hit, but obviously that never happens if he bets the flop. I never understand what Phil is doing watching him play, he's always too cute and/or obvious about what he does, and could actually benefit from watching videos like this. It was just one of those hands where he was either going to win basically nothing or lose a lot, and he still found a way to steam over it.
Never try to trap anybody . If you have strong hand , bet hard. Longer you go , more danger for your aces . JUNKIES always collect something down the rod . Usually some stupid straight.
Very good Channel Doug Move it :-) the Mistake form Phill is always the same calls with an over dominated Hand and walks into a Steaming set He is definitely a good Player but that Steamy bad misses all Time
I don't think Phil was trapping..I think he was just playing conservatively considering all of the hands that beat him or can draw to beat him with that board
Doug I need your help, please !!! Sent you a message the other day, and I always watch your videos.They are insightful and helpful and they have helped me win some cash pots, so for that, Thank you !
All he had to do is bet the flop and she goes away, absolutely the worst possible flop for her. At that point, considering his 3-bet, she doesn't beat any of his possible holdings...AK, AQ, AJ, A10, or any pair higher than a 5. She has to fold.

Trapped me with this title
Me too. I should have known better.You tube algorithm only shows Hellmuth losing. 😂
I tried to trap Liv Boeree once. She called the police.
Would you say she made the hero call?
@@perrinaybara8048 haha
No she turned him! 😆
ufarfaduu
🤣🤣
If I were the guy who folded the 5-7o I would have been sure to inform Hellmuth that it was in fact a one outer
That would've been great!!!!!
he seriously said "it's so unfair" LMAOOOOO
Lol
I thought for once I can finally see Phil not losing/raging on Doug’s channel but apparently I was wrong xD
Game: Blouses
Chappelle show FTW!
OMG I legit spit out my drink.
🎶Commentator’s voice: This is what you get for checking the flop🎶 lol

So happy Liv was able to recycle my grandmother's upholstered sofa and drapes into that blouse! :)
She kinda makes it work though...
Poker hoes are a resourceful bunch, just look at Phil Ivey.
shannon stephens I don’t get the joke
So catty
So much wisdom in this video that I didnt get when I was a beginner watching. Range betting since oop has pocket pair advantage, bluffing small pairs on high boards, never slowplaying ip, large sizing on river because of capped range
When you win against Phil who has pocket aces you have to say : "Hoooo that must hurt" just to tilt him a little more
Most AMAZING bit of advice in there at the end
As Doug sings 'This is what you get... when you CHECK the FLOP'
"She somehow makes a set..."
Yeah Phil, how did she get there?
“But I was playing against a woman, honey.She can’t beat me.
He called with an Ace and an Ace. How do these players last this long?

Yes indeed, and please make them Strip Poker videos. Thanks in advance.
what hands would be good bluff candidates for the overbet river like J10 Q10 or like 22 33? Id say 22 33

Love the channel. Suprised you don't have more subscribers. Thanks for the great info :)
Which tournament is that ?
Thanks, nice comments about river bet sizing. A lightbulb moment for me there.
why didn't phil summon his white magic and open fold turn?
Ivan Wong open fold 😂
He had already depleted his white magika bar. Has to rant to replenish.
Out of mana
Liv is the best girl in poker. Hot, funny and smart.
For a girl
Bitches don't even wear their real eyebrows. They fake ass trims em and it looks retarded. How great can they really be?
Queen Vareena Tormentor of Cunts So because she trims them then they’re fake? Lmao you can keep your Oscar the Grouch eyebrows to yourself. 😂
@@queenvareenatormentorofcun9960 nice name, lol

I actually like that you pause videos and talk about what's going on
I love how it's the case 5 since one of the other players folded 7-5 off.
I had to go back to Mueller's fold, because I thought he folded the case 5, but it was a 6. I remember how badly edited the "Poker After Dark" games were edited, and if you were to believe the pre-pot action, every third hand was a foul deck.
What lol? He shows the card. It's a 5 of hearts my guy. He did fold the case 5.

Could you please do plo hands from time to time?
Joey M Doug is a NLH specialist. If you want to see PLO, go to joey ingrams channel. He is a PLO crusher and would be far more qualified to teach.
David Langley recommending jnandez on Doug's page is bad form. They had a falling out and jnandez is leaving upswing poker.
Corey Bursey sorry mate didn’t know anything about that. I was just trying to help a fellow poker brother out.
am i the only one here that never have seen Hellmuth winning a hand on youtube ?
Your video is so entertaining thank you so much i really needed this! it’s like a little treat after going through hard day
Does it look like she has a 5 of hearts and 7 of spades? 0:40
When did this happen?
Phil Laak, so prophetic when he said you created a TH-cam moment.
Don't you go to the PCA in the Bahamas ? if not, Why?
That's why i tell everyone that set mining is the best strategy with aces. Only go for a raise when they are suited otherwise see a flop and get out of the pot

bla bla bla bla you talk to much
He really doesn't; only poker pros will find value in what he's saying.
noex100 great talking
said dehqan yes, he blahs too much. Pretty simple on this hand....Phil’s mistake was checking the flop....done deal.

What up guys? Kimo Sabe Mezcal here, and today we have an interesting hand......
Where can I play online poker (real money) in Florida? Plz help
Hello Doug!
Doing well on the weight loss - just lift some more bro!
EDIT: Meant lift as in weights.
He stopped drinking, and therefore cut out about 1200 cal/day from his consumption.
And he drinks only scotch.
It's possible I exaggerated a tad. But not more than that, I swear.
misomiso unless he is striving to be an ultra marathon runner....
misomiso Volvo d flim
There are more than one strategies. Keep that in mind. For example a raise, if you raise to much the opponent will fold.
Have you thought about calling this Crypto News?
Love how dougy boy always talks like hes reading the news #CNN #NBC
You posted a video were you played aces way worse and yet you justified you every wrong move like it was correct.
She may have been worried Phil had the AQ or possibly 10-10, JJ, or KK since he raised pretty big pre-flop. Her bets were well sized enough to get some value while at the same time inviting Phil to raise her with a weaker hand.
Good commentary Doug !
Phil did well not to lose more. Lol

Can you do phil laak at aussie millions when he gets stacked by tom dwan with a flush. Phil holds on with too pair and bluff catches with king ten
Wait, how many days left to get the Mixed Games Course at a 50% discount?
I want some Kimosabe Mezcal
whats a straddle
Imagine if Phil knew that was the case 5. He was right to complain about the one-outer that somehow hit, but obviously that never happens if he bets the flop. I never understand what Phil is doing watching him play, he's always too cute and/or obvious about what he does, and could actually benefit from watching videos like this.

Who would guess that an opponent just *might* hit trips, given a starting pair, and drawing 5 cards out of 52....
What would really needle Phil in the moment would be to know he got 1 outted instead of 2...
And it's a set not trip bteedubs :)
@@jsea8987 "I had treeps!" John Juanda would disagree!
Pocket aces only win is only 31%. So Phil should of went for the kill on the flop. His snafu and it cost him
It's like the commentator sang "That's what you get when you check the flop'
You mean Phil traps HIMSELF😜
LOL Dnegs master class ads xD
I was wondering if PH makes a pretty decent bet on flop if Liv goes away
I always take a snooze between the bits when they're playing the hand.
About the only reason I look at poker on youtube is to see Hellmuth rants -- and to remind others that higher rakes are good for the players.
Looking fit there Doug well done
Thumbs up for the dig at Phil at the end.
Always get excited watching a Phil Hellmuth trap , then you realise Doug Polk is narrating it.
My sentiments exactly...the only saving grace is Boeree's beauty...
Something deeply satisfying about seeing PH having a rant 😂 and was Livs first, it's like losing your virginity all over again 😂😂😂
Doug, you tricked me. I thought Hellmuth was going to win the hand.
Never try to trap anybody . If you have strong hand , bet hard. Longer you go , more danger for your aces . JUNKIES always collect something down the rod . Usually some stupid straight.
Wait, you make poker videos too? PogChamp

Seeing dneg ads on a Polk hand breakdown never gets old, laugh every time.
Hey, Phil Laak talked about me. I'm people on TH-cam. Score!
Phil should have bet big pre-flop. Winning a small pot early is better than losing a bigger one on the river.
Better to bluff with 22 than 88 you say? Insane I say. Also, does anyone ever show Phil winning a hand on TH-cam?
Greg Merson's the biggest boss that ya seen thus far
Who is this guy that keeps talking when I want to watch a poker hand?
Misleading title. He didn't trap her with his hand, she trapped him.
Pockets quads is the best hand indeed 😂😂😂😂
