I watched the entire stream! One of the best I’ve seen for pure entertainment and comedy gold. He was fed to the sharks. The lodge posted a video the next day, calling him a legend to entice him to come again and donate more to the regs for future streams 😂
I'm a Tesla fan now! That huge smile after getting Doug to muck the 9D flush was everything about happiness in life. You could almost feel the happiness lol. Savage crazy poker guy
Tesla seems the kind of guy that loved to play with "friends" because of the sense of belongins only. Not matter if he feeds all table with his money. The other Player tells him he is a genius and laughin with him. This reminds me of my school days where there were classmates who only had friends because they had a Game Boy or other cool things
Imagine blasting off 450k to be "liked". Insane. The reality kicked in at the end. His comment on Twitter about "running horrible" makes me wonder about what kind of denial business he's in to make that kind of money.
Man Polk did not know how to act at the end of that last hand. He had to act like it was a bad beat for Tesla even though he knew it was an absolutely enormous punt that went right into his pocket
Doug at 13:33, "that's what I get for trapping". Bro that's the safest board ever to trap on. Doug clearly knew he'd get it eventually and managed to have some amazing composure here.
@Vote_By_Mail He got it all by the end. You can run everything perfectly in hindsight but the money was never getting in if Doug shoved on any other street and he was heavily favored to win that hand. He did nothing wrong and he ended the night with Tesla's whole stack, which at the time was over 250k. He did fine.
@@pabl1to33 what are you talking about doug plays the smartest of them all. He keeps the whale happy, creating moments, doug is the reason he came back and left overall nearly 2 million in this room. Doug is also not only a player here it is his show. Tesla has double value for the stream and his money.
I´ve played in microstakes compared to these games, but I´ve witnessed these kind of players. After you see them felting for the 8th time in three hours, you start feeling like you are exploiting an addict. Which you probably are.
What are you guys all talking about? 🙄 Is this guy, TESLA, always plaing that loose? Swell, yes... ...but what here is missing! This guy had huge wins on other days not shown here! So what are you talking about? 🤦♂
I’ve never seen Doug so legitimately nervous just to sweat four outs on that last hand for 500k. He was so nervous sweating and twitching rubbing his brow. This was the most entertaining stream I’ve seen I really think better than HCL. I hope Tesla is a Bill Klein type and has the wealth to support that style of play lol…he seems like he didn’t give a fuk and had a lot of fun.
This stream was so good, i watched it on the lodge stream, and then days later i watched this entire recap. Probably the most fun i seen and good spirited play.... however, i have no idea who tesla is, much less why he can just delete money for the lulz, but its welcomed to see
"He's really thinking about Vegas and the fucking Mirage" great use of that line haha. And awesome video. This man is truly insane. He reminds me of the punter in the movie Molly's game if you've seen it.
As i move on, especially after the 9 flush hand, I realize that Tesla seems like one of those "hopeless rich guys" that probably doesn't have that many friends but a shit ton of money, and came here for a good time. He knows he's not a good player, he just wants to have some fun with these guys.
I think Tesla would have raised flop with two diamonds in hand, so when he shows the deuce and knowing he didn’t raise flop, I’d suspect it’s his only diamond. But easy to say when you know the cards
@@AlexDuvall that though came to mind when he folded his flush reasoning "he has enough other hands to call". This might be true but if tesla is overbluffing so massively, there is value in calling down lighter. I did not see the whole stream. So yes my impression might be flawed :-) Will check out the T5s hand. Wish Doug would do some poker hand videos out of those hands.
What are you talking about? If you have the bankroll to stick out their moments of luck you eventually get all their money. Did you not see the whisper quiet ending?
Doug trying to get extra information....because his edge isn't big enough already...I get it's a tricky decision with 9 high flush so some tanking warranted but I think ultra tanking is a bit silly, if Tesla wins it's good for the game and in 8 mins you could probably win it all back
Idk how people have such high vpip in cash games. I consider myself the vpip god, Im a tournament player and my vpip is usually 75-80% but it drops to like 20% in cash games lol
I am guessing this Tesla character has money to burn. I would kill to get in a game with a player like him. He will win a few big Pots on pure dumb luck, but he will Spew out a LOT more.
Bruh how are you gonna float on an A2K spade board with 87 of hearts😂 this guy might as well just donate his money Lmao. Well thats kinda what he is doing
Wow at 3:45 he asks to run it twice but doesn't give Curtis the same luxury, and then has the balls to say hey we should hang out again as Curtis leaves 100k down. Not cool?
I watched the entire stream! One of the best I’ve seen for pure entertainment and comedy gold. He was fed to the sharks. The lodge posted a video the next day, calling him a legend to entice him to come again and donate more to the regs for future streams 😂
Haha he is a legend but yeah who knows what could happen
He is a legend but not in a good way
Absolutely the best poker stream I've ever seen.
Anyone notice hoe red Tesla's neck and ears were as he walked out?
Why can't I find a fish like Tesla at Borgata's poker room in Atlantic City?
I don't often bluff shove with no equity, but when I do, it's right into the nuts!
Lol
Where's the "Stay thirsty, my friends"?
@@refinedsugar 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
guy loses 450k "thank you for coming out" Doug is such a gentleman XD
What else can you say lol
Guys a bot
This video reminded me that I really need to get to Texas lol. Damn
@@ZarinaPokerTV Let's go TX is fun for Poker! After all it is Texas holdem
@@Tonyplat98 For sure, one day I'll be there!
Thanks for these breakdowns, I like watching poker but not to the degree of watching an 8 hour livestream so these are perfect.
Yeah live poker's pacing is awful to watch - give me videos with all the tanking and meaningless action removed
They're all just drooling sharks circling the chum. Lol
Gay
@@2gramsovcoke yes you are but it's 2024 so it's fine
In a game of luck, you have to hope this happens.

"I had you on the turn" is such a good line after showing the duece

@@refinedsugar dude is truly clueless about poker. He thinks he ran bad, when he's just bad.
My money is on TSLA made bag off of bit coin
@@JulianJ58 Very possible. A few faces from that world hopped into poker afterwards.
@@refinedsugar He was responding to people on reddit as well. It is hilarious how delusional this guy is about his poker abilities.
Great video and the commentary was on point, keep up the good work Alex
Man Polk did not know how to act at the end of that last hand. He had to act like it was a bad beat for Tesla even though he knew it was an absolutely enormous punt that went right into his pocket
The most important skill for the biggest winners is not skill, but game selection.
that is brilliant; no one has ever said that before

Doug at 13:33, "that's what I get for trapping". Bro that's the safest board ever to trap on. Doug clearly knew he'd get it eventually and managed to have some amazing composure here.
Let 'em down easy
Yeah, but... 1) Say "No way u have a King" or some bs 2) Shove 3) Hope u get called, if so, ur running *AT LEAST* twice and nvr drawing totally dead.
@Vote_By_Mail He got it all by the end.

Exactly, that he fold a middling flush against any 2. Doug's not made to play whale, he's outskilled by them lol

10:55 Even Mariano is like, this feels dirty with that shake of the head. Or, what an idiot. lol
It's mildly uncomfortable to watch. It's like beating a drunk gambler.

@@Juskinen couldn’t agree more. We do it with a lot of young Indian players at my card room.
What are you guys all talking about? 🙄
Is this guy, TESLA, always plaing that loose? Swell, yes...
...but what here is missing! This guy had huge wins on other days not shown here!
So what are you talking about? 🤦♂
Great idea making videos of the players of this game, you'll definetly grow a huge audience this way!
Thanks, yeah I try to create a story about them
That one play where Doug threw away the winner made Tesla's week. He's willing to lose thousands and thousands just to have that moment..
That happened twice btw
@@pierrearr Doug is smart thinking about his stream and more money from the whale in the future.
@@Utoko Lmao you can't be serious
For a moment I thought this video would be about Rampage
You should definitely try out the Lodge!
One day
tesla was loving this whole thing so much
I’ve never seen Doug so legitimately nervous just to sweat four outs on that last hand for 500k. He was so nervous sweating and twitching rubbing his brow. This was the most entertaining stream I’ve seen I really think better than HCL.

This reminds me of the old High Stakes Poker
This was so awesome!
Mariano is so sweet he goes and gives Doug a lil hug lol what a doll.

Thanks for watching the entire thing 🙏
He's the CEO of a successful company that makes electric cars
@@pierrearrIf this is true.. 450k is pocket change for him 😊
@@cmoneyno5 His name is Tesla, it's a joke buddy
@@pierrearr I know that 🤣🤣🤣
Genius to show the two of diamonds lol
Great vid. Commenting for the algorithm gods
🙏
Mariano chilling in the back like he's in a beach or something😂😂
if u wear flip-flops to play poker especially streamed high-stakes u are grade A certified cringe
chum in the water…a lot of fun to watch
mike, you’re good at the play-by-play
I want to play heads up with this person from now until the end of time
"He's really thinking about Vegas and the fucking Mirage" great use of that line haha. And awesome video. This man is truly insane. He reminds me of the punter in the movie Molly's game if you've seen it.
What on earth? Make more videos about this guy!
It would be crazy to see if he comes back and is trying to improve
great vid. Doug Polk hasn't posted since cause he is traumatized
I love this stream break down. It’s reminiscent of the og High stakes Poker
"He now knows how everyone plays" - that's how Tesla gets you, he lulls you into a false sense of security
The Q2 bluff worked a couple min before your statement of the bluffs don’t ever work
thank you alex for your service to humanity.
Tesla continues the classic bluff tell, acting strong when your weak. Did it a few times when talking to Doug.
This is epic man Holy shit LOL more videos like this please
And here I was thinking that Balatro would be the most twisted iteration on poker I'd see all year 🤑 S-Tier chips joker right here. A real Stuntman.
Loved loved loved this. So fun.
Thanks.
21:25, the funniest poker moments of nooo I've ever heard 😂
And 20:50 "I'm like so happy with what I'm about to do" 😂😂😂😂😂
Shortly after this stream, I got to meet and play with James in a $400 MTT at the WSOP in Cherokee. Super nice guy.
Someone money laundering for someone in this game 100%
These fans ignorant af
How would that work since the game is streamed?
This dude was up a few hundred thousand earlier tonight. On the lodge livestream.
It could be anything. Even a boat!
this is incredible
Guys if you want these games to continue - please stop tapping the fish tank
The way these dude calling this man's all ins. Snapped
Video was fire 🔥 subscribed
Thank you
The Ace deuce move was sharp af ngl!
folding that 9 high flush was the stupidest move of the whole game
Probably the best image you could have. Callers all day
22:10
You're welcome
Lol
You are a savage, you are a genius lol Yeah legendary
As i move on, especially after the 9 flush hand, I realize that Tesla seems like one of those "hopeless rich guys" that probably doesn't have that many friends but a shit ton of money, and came here for a good time. He knows he's not a good player, he just wants to have some fun with these guys.
Call 4bet with 79cc. Board comes K53 all red, 4 bettor cbets. Theres only one move here....ALL IN 😂
There’s no way I heard him say “it’s fine I should be up”. LOL 31:54
You’d wonder how someone like Tesla has half a million bucks to throw around.
Man, it requires balls of steel to call a maniac all in with 3rd pair.
Making those folds paid off. It set him up to win those big pots late.
I think Tesla would have raised flop with two diamonds in hand, so when he shows the deuce and knowing he didn’t raise flop, I’d suspect it’s his only diamond. But easy to say when you know the cards
Tesla reminded me of David Brent
Doug playing his unexploitable GTO style leaves so much money on the table against a guy like tesla.
Lol guess you didn't see the hand he 3B T5hh vs him? Many more like it
That’s not how he’s playing against Tesla
@@AlexDuvall that though came to mind when he folded his flush reasoning "he has enough other hands to call". This might be true but if tesla is overbluffing so massively, there is value in calling down lighter.
I did not see the whole stream. So yes my impression might be flawed :-)
Will check out the T5s hand. Wish Doug would do some poker hand videos out of those hands.
You got parents who are rich/wealthy asf. Can just tell.
Good for tv. Imagine if he is in the final of the maint event trolling all the pro.
He should be called “reverse tesla” or “ Tesla inverse”
His pnl graph is inverse of Tesla’s stock graph
The hilarous part is that he truly thinks he's putting on a show. I wish I had that confidence lol
This is why it's so hard to play with bad players
What are you talking about? If you have the bankroll to stick out their moments of luck you eventually get all their money. Did you not see the whisper quiet ending?
@@refinedsugar I've noticed that they are more difficult to get a read on and the obvious to you isn't necessarily obvious to them. Nom takN bout?
@@RobCantonJr 👍
😂 you can’t be serious
@@kurt6447 seriously go watch the entire stream, Doug loses it all to the duck from bad reads because he plays crazy it's hard to get a read
Could it be strategy to get callers later when he has it 😄
While I'm watching this all I can think about is how much Tesla rules!
this is amazing
Yo this game got wild as hell
I watched this stream... For a moment it seemed as though Tesla almost broke Poker...
My new favorite player
Who is this guy I need to know more about
Jesus, what a final hand.
Doug trying to get extra information....because his edge isn't big enough already...I get it's a tricky decision with 9 high flush so some tanking warranted but I think ultra tanking is a bit silly, if Tesla wins it's good for the game and in 8 mins you could probably win it all back
you don't get it doug is creating a big moment for the stream and for the whale tesla. He is not silently tanking there.
Bro burns money just for that 10 second moment of people praising him for a bad play gone right
Difficult to believe this guy reached his age , with this type of mind
Poker shows need more cows like that to make things interesting. He managed to melt Doug's brain.
Tesla is what poker is all about. Fish make the world go round.
Idk how people have such high vpip in cash games. I consider myself the vpip god, Im a tournament player and my vpip is usually 75-80% but it drops to like 20% in cash games lol
high vpip in cash often means lots of $$$ lost
It means you value winning.
I think it was good for the game if you got the money might as well
Seems like a good dude
Is there a way to rewatch this whole stream?
Yes it's posted on Lodge channel
Insane how people have the 💰 for this kind of play 😮
I thought I was a bad player, this guy makes me look like Phil Ivey.
He reminds me of bad Brad off of Molly's game 😂 a guy that's rich trying to network
Who is this guy and how did he learn to play poker, his 3 year old nephew?
I just dont get the two runs business, never used to be like that , one run , the winner's the winner
Tesla should play carrot in a box. 😂
I am guessing this Tesla character has money to burn. I would kill to get in a game with a player like him. He will win a few big Pots on pure dumb luck, but he will Spew out a LOT more.
"Unless you have A2 as well", tanking for 10 mins on flush over flush hand --- what a testimony to how good doug actually is a poker lmao
Bruh how are you gonna float on an A2K spade board with 87 of hearts😂 this guy might as well just donate his money Lmao. Well thats kinda what he is doing
telsa is actually degen gambling and its actually working wow
Wow at 3:45 he asks to run it twice but doesn't give Curtis the same luxury, and then has the balls to say hey we should hang out again as Curtis leaves 100k down. Not cool?
where do you find these people? get me in this game.
This is how i used to play... when i was 13. In all seriousness however, this game was hilarious 😂
This man is a MENACE
Doug Polk is such a fish.
Tesla, the ultimate fish.
You should rename this video to 'Big Fish Mauled by Sharks'
It's abusive
