You're a good player and I am a fan. However, I will say when I watch your Vlogs you have run really, really, really good almost this entire year. Even when you're having a bad day you generally run decent. The difference in how you've run this year vs NorCal poker is quite amazing. Obviously I bring him up since you both play in the same 1/3 game at the same casino and I'm sure know each other well and are generally playing against the same opponents every week. He's not quite the player you are, but you're running incredibly well in many, many big spots whereas he's basically running consistently pretty poorly in those same big spots that make or break a session..., but that's poker. Hopefully your incredible run good continues throughout the rest of the year
Ive been running good at poker for 30+ years, I guess I am just lucky. I play with Alex on occasion, we both have had our fair share of beats. Eventually, both of us will end up with more chips in the long run.
98o: Villain bet pot and you raised. That's really strong. I think I'd just call there, hope for another bet on the river, and bet small if not. My guess is that villain had Adx in the bonus hand. But who cares? You win.
Nice week, Doug! Watching through the blurry eyes of a late-night (winning) podcast, and Zeus made me laugh so hard, my head hurt even more. Congrats, sir!💪👊🍀
@@dougmccuskerpoker Just subbed - I like your attitude, or rather that pooches' attitude. PS: I do chess, backgammon, and bridge - never had the courage to do poker.
@@dougmccuskerpoker Capitol Casino has a great poker room. The floor men and dealers are great. The rake isn’t onerous, and the small kickback is great for occasional lunches and dinners or just take the cash! I wish they did this in Texas
We both know that this was on or in the cards, the key is you seemed to get the max out of most of your hands, thats the key, "Value" well done bro, regards from a sunny England , at last, Fraser
You played and ran very well, Doug!!! The AK hand was a strange one. I think it's all in or fold there. Most times, it will miss, and you end up having to fold. I don't know the history, if there is any, between you two, but that's my take. I'm just happy you made a really nice profit for 3 days of grinding. 😊 Don't bash me too hard on my assessment 😅
My normal play would be just jamming, something didn't feel right with his 4 bet size. Being out of position and having 25bb already in, jamming is not a bad way to go.
Wow, congrats on the wins 💪👍🏾 There is almost no such thing as a perfect session in my view since, after all, we are all human. But you certainly came close. Well, $CLSK reported excellent earnings. I guess the big boys in NYC are playing possum and will run up the price down the road. Perhaps after $BTC breaks out to the upside???I reduced my portion of shares but still have some. I’ll add if we get a meltdown to support.
Enjoyed the video as always. On the flopped 10s. You know this player squeezes with less than stellar hands. You showed weakness on the flop then he bet the turn. Why not check the turn and let him continue to bluff at the pot and only raise on the river. That is the only way to get more money out of him is he has a piddling hand and if he has a big hand he will call you river raise. I think a bet on the flop would have cost you his turn bet!
Liked how you broke down equities on the AcKc hand. Should we give that much consideration to the times we tie? Looking at win percent gives total different outlook of course. Personally I'm not a fan of playing such a large pot with idea of chopping.
@@scottchristopher9760 when a players action indicate that their range of hands smash the board, don’t try to bluff them. It is much better attacking players with weak ranges.
You’re very good at holding yourself accountable and earnestly reviewing your decisions objectively. I like that quite a bit.
I feel that is the best way to improve. Face your mistakes and weaknesses head on and make the necessary changes.
Great job with the analysis on the video. Include more! Love the video Doug!
Thanks, will do!
I just had some run good myself hit the hourly high hand Saturday with quad aces for a 2000 payout plus the pot!!
wow!! that's a good heater indeed.
4:50 He "missed" after a 772 rainbow flop... okay... wish we could have seen that one.

Nice video Doug! I need some run good luck, I’ve been playing well and getting rivered so many times. Perhaps I need a new lucky Zeus chip!😎
We could all use some extra luck, Zeus chips are very intimidating!
Nice work Doug 📈
Thanks 👍

He doesn't like to fold to me, if he had a good piece, he would surely come along.

Thanks for making it through without falling asleep. Zeus gets a lot of laughs at my expense
I look forward to your Sunday poker vlog, Doug! Keep up the great work! Yo Zeus!!!!
Appreciate it! Thanks for your support!
In that k9d hand he had adqh he pushed hoping for a diamond I really enjoyed your vlog!!!$$$
strange making a play with a naked nut flush blocker against 2 opponents
Nice vlog Doug! Nice run good.
Glad you enjoyed it
That pooch! He knows a thing or two.
He is one smart dog!

Great video as always! Keep it up Doug
Thanks, will do!
Been missing your vlogs. Hope all is well 😮😮
New vlog every Sunday, unless I take a week off.
Poker is really easy with great hands Doug just don't get into any staring contests😅😅
lol, wish it was like that every week.
On the bonus play the villain had a naked A of diamonds
nothing much makes sense to me other than that, everything go there except the runner, runner flush.
Damn there were a lot of multi-way flops. Everybody wants to play?
That's live poker
Action table, multiway pots, and lots of betting.....typical Capitol Casino 1/3 game.
Modern day poker. Everyone wants to see a flop/get lucky.

I was there this week this place is action packed can easily walk out with thousands of dollars if you get good cards and play right

Thanks Fraser, I ran extremely well and that makes poker easy. There were a few spots I could have played better, live and learn.
🎉
Good enjoyable vlog. Bonus hand, maybe he had A diamonds with off suit K?
Only thing I can think of is him turning a naked Ad into a long bluff. Suicide play IMO
Nice job, Doug, congratulations.😅
Thank you so much 😀
congrats on a great week
Thanks, always nice to run good
Great week Doug!
Thanks 👍. I ran hotter than I have in a while.
Liked the odds calculator analysis.
Thanks, its good to know some of the routine odds that you often run into in big pots

Yeah, dont worry, you gotta set. No need to look at the flop...
I screwed that hand up, UGH
Running hot there buddy!
You got to open those 10s though. Should be bumping it up $30 min. But hey, when you know you’re gonna flop top set………
agreed, normally I would make it 30-40 to go.
Wow, congrats on the wins 💪👍🏾

CLSK and BTC look very good to me (not financial advice) and I expect good things the next month or two

I tried to make my bet look like a move, it gave him the opportunity to blast off. He thought for close to 3 minutes, thought he was going to raise.

yeah, I felt if I was lucky I would chop. Getting decent odds to call pre, but its tough to realize any equity.
As thought provoking & enjoyable as ever…teach me how to Dougie
lol, not sure that's what you really want, lol
Good vlog please change intro music.
I like it, you can always skip the intro.
@@dougmccuskerpoker good point
Listen to your poker coach. He's a smart dog.
I agree, all that coaching and I still manage to screw things up.
If i never hear the word "range" again it will be too soon
I’m so tempted 😂😂😂
What does that mean don't bluff strong ranges brother

Hey doug how are you doing at keeping kidney stones at bay?
yes, my stones were uric acid base, taking a supplement to reduce uric acid in my blood stream.
Running hot or playing against rookies players. They must love torching money.
Always nice to play against weaker opponents.

ok
You bet everyone off three times. Denied yourself some nice pay offs.
You’re very good at holding yourself accountable and earnestly reviewing your decisions objectively. I like that quite a bit.
