We can count on your weekly Vlog each Sunday 7:30am. Always look forward to it. Thanks for the content
Wow, thanks. Glad I have you trained. Lol. Thanks for the support!
Sedona, Arizona here.
Thanks Doug for the entertaining and informative content. I always enjoy your commentary, so sharp and insightful. Watching you battling back in these sessions while hearing what’s going on in your head is the best! Thanks for putting all the effort that you do to produce these vlogs, they’re just so dang good!
Thank you for all your kind words, it means a lot. Sedona is beautiful, spent a couple days there on our family Grand Canyon trip.
"I wasn't looking for my hand to improve . . . I was just looking for it to not get worse." How many times have I thought that to myself . . . And nice call, Doug :)
It was a close decision, I just felt he was in “bluff mode” and I was looking for a safe river.
You cracked me up with your commentary at 16:00!🤣. Thx again, Doug!👍
😁.
Capitol Casino has the greatest action in the region. The 1/3 game plays huge!
Kolin knows his stuff, action is off the hook.
Thanks so much for the effort you put into your videos.
I've learned a lot.
My losses became much less once I realized there are simply hands that are better folds then risking my entire stack.
your welcome, sometimes dodging trouble is the best play.
Great action in that 1/3 game !!! $40 opens !? Love it. Great vlog and big fan.
This was a great game to play in, some might say too good. Several 3 and 4K pots, 20k on the table and chips were flying. Just needed a little run good
Nice come back! On days like this, it should feel like a win. Great vlog.
Small loss feels like a good win.
Played well, sometimes its tough, so is life and poker, regards from the Island!!Fraser
Thanks Fraser. Rough day, but the results could have easily been much worse.
Great discipline this week! I'm jealous. Sorry for the run bad, this too shall pass.
Sunday morning Doug is always a bright spot!
Thanks, it could have been a very bad day if I called off with KK. Happy to only lose 240.
Thank you for posting 1-3 games! Keep grinding !
Will do!
Very helpful for us to watch your videos. Thanks 🤙🤙
My father always said, “A smart man learns from his mistakes, but a wise man learns from other people’s mistakes.”
Great Vlog once again! Hell of a lay down!
Never fun folding KK, but I was sure I was beat.
Good read with the guy racking up his chips. I always make it a point to never start racking up until I know I don't want to be dealt in again.
Early rack is a big tell.
Love your blogs you should be at least 25k subscribers
Someday 🤞
Tough day at the office and thank you for the Vlog. Sorry about KJ vs 99s, Lose call.
No problem! I was planning on folding after you bet but then you looked scared when the other player was tanking.
Just because you lost most of your money doesn't mean you have to lose all of it. That fold with KK was inspired!
thanks, people either love it or hate it. I would do it again in a heartbeat
Love the way you play doug! Thanks for the birthday vlog for me 😂
Happy birthday! Thanks for the kind words. My game has improved over the years from great feedback and lots of study.
You fought back for a sustainable loss. Definitely not bad. My favorite part was, and I laughed out loud, is when you said, the two losers finally chop a pot 😆 See ya next time, Doug.
Glad you enjoyed! I was pleased to recover and I think chopping that pot was the turning point.
@@dougmccuskerpoker I'm glad you're glad I enjoyed it 🤣
Tough session. Can’t expect you to hero fold more than once a day. Flopping 2 small pair multi-way almost demands a bet/raise on the flop. Always interested in listening to you describe your observations of players actions and demeanor and how it affects your decision making - GTO be damned. You are largely correct in those assessments, but don’t always follow your instincts. Great comeback from a near wipeout.
GTO is a great base to build a game around. Reads and exploits are the fine tuning. I was happy to leave with a small loss, it was close to a total disaster.
Great content as always
Glad you think so!
Next time I play, hoping to channel the discipline you had to fold the Kings. Thank you for the great vlogs.
You’re welcome! Thanks for your support. 😀
I always thank God to break even! I don't mind the check back with JJ - worse hands have trouble calling and a lot of better hands aren't folding.
I think a cbet of 300-350 was the best play, targeting QQ and KQ and might even get folds from a weak A.
Good vid kk lay down is tough
I would do it again in a heartbeat, all my reads pointed to AA.
Sometimes it's not about winning but minimizing losses. Rough patches happen.
I was more surprised you called down with 99, than when you folded the KK.
Call 99 was bad, was ready to fold but then I got a read the bettor was nervous. My read cost me 100 more.
MGM Grand outside of the Nations Capital…..always invited Doug. Bring Zeus if available to travel…..
Zeus is tough to travel with, he is not a lap dog. 😀
Not too bad Doug. Kind of a min-loss while running poorly. Glad to see you show that kind of session. At least Zeus was quiet.
Small loss feels like a win, it could have been much worse.
I'm watching this as I'm on the way to Foxwoods, hoping for some McCusker magic run good 🌟
If you ever do make your way up to Connecticut, I'd appreciate it. Vloggers don't often come here because the casinos aren't necessarily vlog friendly.
In for $300 out for $610!!!
No videoing no phones in use during play.
@@fishinghuntingfool I heard Mohegan allows it if the phone is on the rail, unless they recently changed it.
Haven’t played at Foxwoods, I hear good things about it. I think my winter trip will be in the South somewhere. My wife prefers warmer weather 😀
@@dougmccuskerpoker I have a friend who plays at Hard Rock Tampa. I'll let him know if you plan a trip there. He reminds me a lot of you for some reason 😊
Foxwoods is great. Clean facility and great service. The players can be nutty though, at least at $1/$2. 😂
Ouch that AA hand. You need to dominate a big chunk of his range in order to call a massive overbet, but his bluffs have a lot of equity and it's rare to see an overvalued big pocket pair played this way. We've all been there though losing too much with an overpair in a deep stack straddled pot
yeah, my gut told me to fold to the overbet, his action style made me call. I could probably find a much better spot to call down.
Used to play at stones!
Now I play at Silks in Tampa Florida
I’ve played at Stones a few times, they are not vlogger friendly so I haven’t been there in a while. I imagine the games are similar, same player pool.
Jesus these pots on a 1/3 game 😂
The game plays very big with the right players.
Check raise the JJ at end. Thats how i roll. Love to check raise rivers.
I actually thought of repping the flush, a dangerous play that would be tough for any non nutted hand to call.
Glad u climbed out the hole.... I dont kno how u can fold those AA on tht 1st hand.... n KK was great lay down
AA my read was to fold, but logic made me call. He had a ton of weaker hands he could jam with.
AA: Not much you can do here. The only hand you lose to here based on the weird almost 3bet is 99. I think you have to call and then feel like a moron after. I think he'd have played the same way with TT or clubs, based on your read, and we all know yours are spot on. You only need to be right 34% of the time to come out ahead (744 x .34 - 280 x .66 = 253 - 251 = +2 EV). Don't feel stupid for making the right decision! You just hit the ABSOLUTE top of his range.
54cc: It's not about getting someone off a flush draw. It's about making the best decision vs villain's likely range. Aggressor can have any of the overpairs, and many overcard hands. This is just about the best you can hope for holding 54s. I just x-raise.
JJ: Two things - 1. JJ almost always just calls vs UTG PFR. 2. When it does 3bet, it cbets 100% on A23r. I would just call pre generally and play it as a good set mine unless I know this guy plays really wide from UTG.
54 is was going to raise but the SB seemed strong. Thought it was a big draw. The aggressor would fire all blanks, there are a lot, I would raise big with one card to come. If the SB folded, I would raise the flop 100%
Mr. McCusker....
I've been watching 👀 your TH-cam channel since the beginning...
I'm base my play and poker strategies similar to yours....
I play poker at TEXAS CARD HOUSE in the Rio Grande Valley in the state of Texas...
Your fan..
River Rat 🐀
Texas is high on my list of places I must visit. You must be a tough opponent if your style is similar to mine, maybe I will stay out of Texas and save my bankroll 😂😂
@@dougmccuskerpoker
Mr. McCusker....
I'm trying to master the arts of minimizing my loses in every session I play.
I it is proven to be difficult !!!
Is the 1/3 game at Capitol a match the stack game? I thought it was max buy in of 500?....if it is this is a deep game....like always enjoying the vlogs and love your analysis of your opponents play and your thought process
According to Poker Atlas it's 300 max, match the stack.
It’s 500 match the stack of any 1/3 game in the room. There was about 20k on the table this particular day.
@dougmccuskerpoker I have got to make it there and take my shot....who knows I might even get a chance to get some Dougie Dough 😂😂😂
@@chrisstallworth265 Dougie Dough tends to find its way back home 😀
Keep em coming brother, you'll make that couple hundred back with ad revenue.
Need a few more viewers to get even.
@@dougmccuskerpoker You heard the man, tell you family
way to save 740$...sometimes u just know ur beat..minimizing ur loses is important...well done
Thanks Rob, I felt very good about the fold, he just had to have it.
Doug! That JJ hand. I think you have an obligatory c bet when you 3 bet huge pre flop and get an ace high board. Especially since (no offense) you’re an older gentlemen, and even though you have a very solid and capable image, they are going to put you on an ace hand. That pot was yours!
I understand the check back three ways though.
I agree, cbetting was the correct play. It would be a tough call for any non Ace.
@@dougmccuskerpokerHindsight, 20/20, yadda yadda. Lol.
By the way, best intro montage and music out of any Vlog!
Sorry you loss Doug better luck next time 😅
Losses happen and are to be expected. As long as I play well I have no issues with short term variance.
I follow Dan Harringtons teachings which says i will never fold KK in that situation
Overall that’s a good way to play. If Dan had my read, I think he would’ve found a fold.
I assume you know all the guys at the table and it’s a friendly game but I wouldn’t fold the KK face up, I’d just slide them into the muck. Good fold though. Two bets with the JJ likely gets QQ to fold, you have 16 combo of AK and were the pre flop aggressor
I normally wouldn’t show a fold like that, if he bluffed me he would show. The fact he didn’t show made me feel very comfortable with my read.
You probably should be folding the 45 hand on the turn with two players in the hand like that. Like you said any over pair is crushing you. You would have to hope both players are on flush draws or an open ended draw.
folding definitely crossed my mind. i still beat hands like A5 and the draws...the bettor was habitually bluffing and the SB felt like a draw.
AA vs 99 loss was brutal. Given he wanted to raise pre flop I can see why you would put him on an over pair. Can’t let the AA’s go with that board anyhow
My read said that he had beat, but the logic said I needed to call. I need to trust my reads.
I would like you to be my coach Doug.. I’m a newbie in this game.
Keep watching the channel! There is good info here for new players. Also I recommend reading some good books. The Course by Ed Miller is good for newer players.
-240 after being stuck almost all session is really good considering.
I was very happy to cut my losses, it could have easily been a 2k loss. Folding KK was key.
Great recovery Doug. You are just destined to lose a bunch of money with aces when someone flops a small set as in the first hand. More bad luck than bad play in my opinion. As you know, when you have a good hand and someone else makes a better one, you usually lose a big pot. I live in Bradenton, FL, plenty of poker around here, Kyle Fishell is here often.
It’s hard to get away from AA when your opponent is an action player. My read was that I was beat, I didn’t listen because of his activity. It was a tough spot and I went the wrong way.
Algorithm comment for the man
Thanks
Where's Zeus? You need him, he's the boss.!
He’s been chasing squirrels lately, hopefully he can guide me back to my winning ways.
why cant he have ace jack suited. right or wrong foding KK is super nitty.
Like everything, it is very player dependent. He never has AJ there.
People love to do that jam with AK on that KK hand towards the end. I kind of don't believe him.
This player at this time had zero bluffs in his range. 99.9% of other players, I just get it in.
Feel like winning to me
A small loss felt like a win!
dunno how u could have folded KK
all my reads said he had AA, I've learned to trust my reads....they are usually correct.
Doug you're too good to slow play two pair 3 ways! 5,4 clubs hand. Nothing........ good ever comes from slow playing two pair unless you're a fish 🐟 😂
Same result would have Happened. That guy isn’t folding bottom pair and a flush draw
@@nicholi2789 Results oriented - literally.
I was planning on raising flop, the SB calling so quickly made me feel he had a strong draw. We were deep, I thought being cautious on the flop was correct, building a big pot at that point was dangerous.
@@nicholi2789 not the point, Never slow play 2pair and definitely not 3 ways!
@@dougmccuskerpoker I get your point Doug and you were getting beat up a little. But that board was too wet. I don't believe in that luck stuff, I believe in skill and momentum 💪. Slow playing those big hands is a disaster waiting to happen! I see bad players flat with Aces and slow play sets and two pair and win. Because they don't know any better, we know better so we don't get those results 😉. Get em next session!!
So miserable
This was a bad sesh and recap.
Bad days happen
@@dougmccuskerpoker shitty comments too. What ya gonna do? Great vid Mac.
