Hey Jake, good to hear from you and thanks for dropping a comment. Hope all is well, miss my old friends from the Bay. Its been tooo long, we need to find some time to meet up.
Congrats on 200 Doug ... hard to believe its been 3 years.... I enjoy that you have not changed your 1/3 play .... I find it hard to watch other vlogers at such high stakes now...
TY for your consistency in vlogging every Sunday AND for teaching us how to better play Hold’em. It’s been only a bit over a year that I’ve followed your vlog and during that time I’ve become a better player and able to play for higher stakes than I ever did. Lastly, I am very pleased that we have become friends, my visits to Sacramento have been very enjoyable and great experiences. I’m looking forward to our next meeting there or in Austin, or perhaps at a meet up game in another location. Say hello to your family and Zeus for me. Until next time, continued good luck at the tables.
@@dougmccuskerpoker and a little luck always helps, but the main credit goes to your teaching me in person and by vlogs. Keep me posted on any travel plans or meetups you might do.
A sweet celebration of a notable creative achievement! Thanks for the bonus length, it didn't feel long. It was action packed and full of surprises! Hard to believe you did it in only three years. Boy, the last three years have been a ride. I suppose the next milestone will be two years from now? I look forward to sharing that with you and Zeus.
Thank you Doug for all your hard work and dedication!! Congratulations to Zeus!! I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday! Thank you for that!!!
Solid action for vlog 200 Doug. If only 10's guy made the tightest fold! I wonder if he might have had the guy to your left not banged the table. We'll never know.
Wow! 🤩 congratulations on 200 vlogs! Doug, you are a model of consistency! I truly appreciate your content!! Keep em coming and 10K subscribers will be here in a blink of an eye!
Congratulations on number 200. I really enjoy watching you play and trying to learn tips and tricks from you. Looking forward to many more and wishing you all the run good in the world.
I like your vlogs! One of the best poker hands filming (all clear, HD, great angle), I like it when you lift the camera at the end of hand that all angles are visible including board cards (many other vloggers board cards are not visible at all??). Also, I give you 8.5 (out of 10!) for hand analysis and your thought process while on line of fire. Helped me a lot. Ohh...yeah: I don't see any sign of you showing off nor trying to go personal. Keep it up, Sir!
I try to keep things real. I try to show as much as possible while respecting other players privacy. It’s never my intention to embarrass or belittle another player, I just go through my thought process right or wrong. Hopefully it will help and entertain lower limit players and make poker more enjoyable.
Your discipline is why I rate your vlog high. Day 1, top pair and a flush draw against 2 players. I would have called the flop, folded on the trips when a boat was evident for at least one, and in this case, both. That was a savvy multiple caller play. But I play in Texas where the continuation range in a 3 person flop seems wider than in the capital of California. But still an impressive lay down.
First off I respect that card house allows that type of buy in for 1-3$… To be able to buy in for 1K is good for the game because it allows real poker to be played… That type of buy in allowed you to fold your top pair with a flush draw, because if you call that $100 bet your probably not good if the flush doesn’t get there, and you might not be good if it does get there also… Casinos or card houses that cap a buy in at $500 for 2/5 is crazy, if you get AK the money’s going in… I live in Michigan and the charity card houses are fun but insane because they cap all buy ins at $400… Lot of action but also poker bingo is played
I do prefer deeper stack poker, those short stack games are awful in my opinion. At Capitol, you can match the stack of any 1-3 game running. Often you could buy in for 2k or more.
Day 1 and 2 I bought for 1k. It’s a match the stack of any 1-3 game running. Day 3 I only bought in for 500, the big stack joined the table late and I didn’t match.

Doug, enjoy your blog. We haven’t met yet but I’ve seen you at Capital. You were playing the tournament I believe. What time do you play 1/3? I’d like to play at the same table with you some time.
what in the collusion is going on with the Qh10h hand? both randoms have a full house and 9's full only bets $5 and the dude with 7's full only calls? then exposes 99 before the river??? "friendly" poker huh?
Congrats on 200 Doug. Next up… 10,000 subscribers!!
Thanks Alex! Hopefully 10k soon!
Congrats on #200, my friend! I enjoy watching 👏

Thanks, I feel people appreciate limits they play themselves. Most players are 2-5 and below.
Keep up the good work Doug. Look forward to watching your content every Sunday.
Thanks Bryan 😀
Doug. A wish for continued success! .... Vlog 400 is just around the corner!! ... "In the year 2525.... "
Not sure I can last that long 🫣

Thanks Mark
Happy vlog #200!!! Good luck in this session. 👍
#Zeus
Thank you
Like the QThearts laydown. A disciplined fold that I admire. Gamboolers can't do this. Players can.
I had a solid read, would be silly to chase.
Congrats on the 200, Doug!
Thank you so much
Congratulations on 200 fun vlogs buddy, well done, all the best from the UK, regards Fraser!!
Thanks Fraser I appreciate your support
@@dougmccuskerpoker for sure bro, you have a great vlog , well done!!
Harley and I say congrats on 200 and wish you many more!
Thanks Josh and Harley
Congratulations Doug and Zeus! You guys rock. Old guys and dogs rule!
Thanks from both of us, we are both old now but still enjoy playing the game
25:20 The ole' I am disgusted with river but I have a monster.
Not quite a monster
Solid action for vlog 200 Doug. If only 10's guy made the tightest fold! I wonder if he might have had the guy to your left not banged the table. We'll never know.
My thoughts exactly. He was probably calling down, I thought he had the straight.
a person that is smart enough to learn from dogs is worthy of
"engagement". among all else, dogs teach us how to "live in the NOW".
I agree, they don’t carry any baggage, what’s in the past is gone.
@@dougmccuskerpoker other then their love for their dad.

Thanks, more to come
200th VLOG Congratulations. I have watched your videos for a long time. I always learn something about my play. thanks Doug.
I’m glad you’ve found some little bits of wisdom from my vlogs.
Congrats on #200, Doug and Zeus!
Thanks for your support
Thanks Doug nice win 😅 BTW congratulations on your 200th vlog.
Thanks, a win is a win 😀
200 ~ Wow! Way to go. I started somewhere around #50 and I don't believe that I've missed one since. Keep 'em coming, Ace!
Awesome, love to hear that. I will make more if you keep watching.
Congrats Doug and Zeus on 200 🎉 and keep providing good content that I look forward to weekly
I’m happy to make more as long as people like yourself are enjoying them.
Congratulations Doug! 200 big ones, atta way!
Thanks Tom 😀
Congratulations Doug, always look forward to Sunday morning coffee and your vlog.
I appreciate that, glad you are enjoying the vlog
That pocket AA hand was the only hand that made my head hurt. Everything else looked great.
It made my head hurt also, I don’t know what I was thinking.
Congratulations on number 200. I really enjoy watching you play and trying to learn tips and tricks from you. Looking forward to many more and wishing you all the run good in the world.
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the 200 vlog mark!
That was one hell of a lay down with the Q 10 of hearts hand!
I had a good read and could have been drawing very thin.

Hello Doug! This Duane It was good seeing you on Sunday for the tournament. I have subscribed and am watching some videos. See you soon. 👋
Thanks Duane! Hope you like them.
Congratulations on 200 and thanks for a great channel.
Thanks and you are welcome, happy you are enjoying it.
I've been here almost since the beginning. Thanks Doug
Thank you for your long time support!
Doug! I am grateful to you, because I am entertained by your game. I'm happy with you if you win, and sad with you if you lose. Thanks!
Thanks for those kind words, I hope to keep you happy for both of our sakes. 😀
Congrats on 200!
Thank you 😊
Nice win Doug. Keep stackin em'!
I will try 😀
Thank you and congratulations! ...feel like I need to write a song for Zeus....
Zeus and I are both musically illiterate.
Good analysis Doug

I had a good read, made the lay down easier. There are many times that I would get trapped with that kind of hand without a good read.
🚀200!!🚀
Thanks ☺️
Wow great fold
I had a good read.
9:38 AQ!? I need to come play in Sac town.
I was surprised, was thinking he had 77. 🤷

What is max buy-in for your game. Looks like most of the time you start with 500, but for Day 2 of this log did you buy in for 1,000?
Day 1 and 2 I bought for 1k. It’s a match the stack of any 1-3 game running. Day 3 I only bought in for 500, the big stack joined the table late and I didn’t match.

On the first hand, I didn’t know to say “I can dodge bullets baby” or… “he called a raise with queen-ten, hunny”.
Phil would say he dodged bullets.
Nice work Doug... I'm pretty excited for UFC 300 next Saturday but vlog 200 is going to have to work for now
lol, no arm bars here, just poker.
Good lay-down on the first hand. 90% of other players would go broke there.
I had a good read, chasing while drawing thin is harmful to your bankroll. 😀
Time travel quick!!!
Time flies when you are having fun 🤩
What a great fold on that first hand. Very impressed.
I had a good read, if he slow played it I would have lost more.
Love Zeus
He is very lovable 🐕
Stay healthy and keep sharing please.
That’s the plan!
Doug, enjoy your blog. We haven’t met yet but I’ve seen you at Capital. You were playing the tournament I believe. What time do you play 1/3? I’d like to play at the same table with you some time.
I normally play mon-wed starting around noon. After my session I go to the bar area to edit the day’s footage.
Commenting only partway through the video,but KJ and AQ hands, where do you find these guys lol. NE poker is a lot tougher
Action at Capitol can be really good.
No poker loses to write off all the consistent winnings. A run for the ages.
I do suffer loses, I just try to minimize them as much as possible.
I can’t even watch after seeing the soft play in the first-hand
Been on the ride for awhile! Congrats on your success.
Thanks, I’m happy you’re enjoying the journey.

The games he plays in are sooo weak
200 vlogs and still doesn't know what a lead is 😂
