Doug Polk Poker what app would you recommend to track results in live cash games?
You don't need this theory math shit, all you need is experience. Hit the tables and learn for yourself!
Doug Polk Poker The key is Knowledge.
Wow! Again! You have an amazing ability to communicate and teach. This is the best free training video I've ever seen. Thanks and have a great vacation Doug!

I'm 61 and your videos make my head explode.
That being said if someone wants to play in today's era then this is the kind of disciplined study it takes. Looking back at some of the books I use to read it almost sounds like they were written for the purpose of selling books more than giving anything more than the most basic advice.
Some of the old school approach sounds today almost like superstition and folklore.
I'm curious when the concept of ranges took hold . Certainly the internet era and it's associated tech aspect along with the poker boom in general has caused a complete rethinking of this crazy game we play.
Very strong players have worked with ranges much longer than you might think. Just kept the information to themselves because it's profitable and logical to do so.
Definitely agree about old wisdom sounding like folklore, very spot on comparison
Brent Hill - I'm in the same boat as you. I watch Doug even though I don't understand a tenth of what he says.
when is the first record of someone discussing poker/a hand in terms of full range analysis? I doubt old school nl players were doing it (obv chan/phil, etc not doing it...) I could believe stuey had some warehousing going on in that noggin lol...
In the old days if you joined a table of regs you knew your best case scenario was that you'd always be up against the best hand; absent collusion they'd just know how they all play, which I guess means they knew each other's ranges. When Doug talks about what his opponent might be holding though, my head spins when he goes through all the possible hands. I'm thinking, perhaps the villain opened under the gun because he's been card dead and knows his imputed range will be a premium hand? If he misses the flop it'll look like he hit; if he hits it, God doesn't know what he's on. That's just one example among infinite possibilities. I really like Doug because of how hard he makes you think but I might be too old and obtuse to understand him.
Definitely a long time. I remember early 2000s at taj mahal and some old man in a 1-2 game told me to worry about nothing but my opponents range. Wish i listened
Doug
I appreciate all that you do for the poker world. I love the game more than most and i'm trying to finally improve after years of just being entertained im working hard for an upswing. You are an amazing teacher and approach things in a very comprehensible way. Poker keeps going deep and deeper and now i feel like ( after i watch this a few more times ) i will finally be able to study or understand the study to improve my play in spots. So glad you laid that out so clearly, i'm a hands on learner, and its like we are speaking 1 v 1 in these videos.
thanks
How's your studying? Have you been getting better?
@djStens house is gone and wife left me thanks for asking
How is it? Do you still play?
I miss online poker so goddamn much. Feel bad for anyone getting into it now because 10+ years ago it used to be a f'ing goldmine. Sundays have never been the same lol
Can't wait to use this new knowledge about balancing your bluff/ give up range on the turn in the next Hot 2,20. Thx Doug.
I wish I had the bankroll for these high limits you play. I guess I'll wait for the next micro millions.
I think you mean the Hot $2.70
The Hot $3.50* ($2+1.50)
that's actually quite brilliant Doug, regarding watching unedited hands over the course of time. Then analyse the "why"
Thank you for providing this video for free. Some of this knowledge could cost you thousands at the tables to gain the same information. Polk really likes to help. Great guy!
Man I’ve got a lot to learn.... didn’t fully get the Equilab calculation part but you did open a new world to me. Thank you!
I'm still learning hand rankings
i still don't know the difference between flop turn and river

riDQlous I’m sure yu kno by now but the flop is the first three cards that turn up on the board the turn is the 4th card that yu turn up and the river is the last card to turn up ... hope this helped if yu didn’t learn yet 👍🏼

Hey Doug, Good to be back. I took a long break from online cash games to evaluate... I returned recently, having made some huge adjustments and have found success, at least in the short term. When i am not at the table, I am watching The Big Game. It is one of the best teaching tools for me, because I get to study some of the very best players on the planet. Thanks for all of your hard work, teaching us all to be better poker players.
thx doug, love the video, especially the part where you give an example, which make it way more concrete, cause i always don't get it when people are only talking strategically without example, so this video helps a lot, btw, just got back into the poker , so don't really get the solver software part, hope you can make a similar video about solver with examples, thx
thanks doug, im a confident poker player, but I find your small bits of help invaluable , and notice the difference in my win/ lose ratio almost instantly... I want to be able to afford to do some work against some world class players one day, hopefully by that time, you might be playing more.
Doug, I don't know if you know this; but this is, hands down, the best strat vid you've kindly posted free to air.
You manage to illustrate some very complex theoretical ideas that, if studied properly, will have massive long term benefits for us part-timers.
Respect.
This old video is a golden nugget in a sea of coaching chaos that's going on today. Saved for later review and study.
@DoughPolk the poker community owes you a lot
Since tuning watching your vids I’ve won 1 tourney (60 Entrants), cashed in 3 of my last 5 and made it to the final table 4 of my last 5 tourneys. #LifeChanging!!! #NLHisthewayoflife
A fellow poker player recently referred me to your videos to help me improve my game. I'm super appreciative and have a long way to go to improve, but I hold my own and do ok most often in small stakes games. However, I'm working on strategy and nowhere near where I want to be. One thing to keep in mind (and maybe I'm delusional) but 50 is the new 30. I'm the 51-year-old "old lady" who might be at your table and I'm studying. I don't get offended about age, I actually feel fine about it, but just know that one day you'll all get to 50 (if you're lucky) and when you do you'll wonder how the time went so fast. LOL! This is written in good humor, but as the perceived "old lady" at the table (who doesn't feel old), and most often the ONLY lady at the table, some of the guys who are sure they know what I'm doing and how I'm playing don't have a clue (some I'm sure do). I'm not that good yet but just watch out, this old lady might learn to stack you more frequently than you expect!
Thank so much. I'm literally a few days into playing and this couldn't have come at a better time. I hope to get to thank you in person (preferably at a poker table) but I appreciate your insight and reiterating what you have to do to get good!!
It's been 5 years since you made that post, so how have your Poker results been?
Great job bro! You are by far the best thing in poker right now. Thanks for staying true to your values and not selling out:) R.I.P Dnegs....
Doug, despite the fact that this is a very blatant ad for your training site, this is a really great video. You provide some really fantastic poker theory content here free of charge. But, here's the irony, it will get players to sign up for Upswing, including (probably) me! Well done, papi!
Must. Pay. Doug. For. Poker. Tips.
*drooooonnnneeeee*
eh more of a free trial right? it's a 30 minute video stuffed full of info
Enjoy your vacations Doug, i hope you'll be back with more infos like this one. Very instructive stuff.
hey doug good video, take it easy on us dummies who watch your videos and have a difficult time shifting their thinking towards thinking about poker correctly instead of thinking in terms of always and never. cheers.
I’m definitely dumbed down! Gotta luv spreadsheets, but I am new to poker and have no idea what you are talking about most of this video. I’m not gonna play irl until I understand this stuff. I will come back to you when I know more of the basics. You talk so fast I’m gonna drink a lot of coffee when I watch u again 😵💫
So I am fairly new to your UA-cam channel. Not only do I enjoy your in-depth analysis, logic, and strategy, your comedy is hilarious! Many times I’ve had to pause the broadcast to wipe the tears from my eyes! Just this morning my wife asked me “what the hell are you laughing at?” Thank you putting these out there! You’ve gained a new fan!
Huge value here for aspiring poker players. Thanks as always for sharing, Doug!
Think a solver-ish update of this would be super awesome and much appreciated ;-)! Congrats for taking down the challenge!
"Back in my day ... you kids ..." 😂 Revisiting so many of these DKP/Upswing vids is gold.
Just an incredible video. I can't find anything else to describe it. I was looking for the step-up in my mindset to move from a totally recreational poker player to one who has the will to improve. I didn't know what to do, where to look for a guide into really "how to study to improve your game" kinda thing, and this video did the job incredibly well. I will watch this video couple more times just to understand it better and then start doing the job myself.
Thanks Doug!
It's 4 years later, how have your results been?
@@colinglen4505hey there! So my focus in these years shifted towards Spins because of better time management. I've joined last year a "poker academy" from my country and they not only are teaching me the strats, but also funding 100% of the roll I use to play. Goal is to go up the stakes asap with them and get poker to be a side hustle at first and maybe a full-time thing in future!
Great video. Nice to see you back on the poker content.
By far the best video I have watched. Your content is unbelievable! Thanks!
An eye-opener. Poker is tough man. Great video Doug, thanks for the tips!
Thx doug, big fan here, you're talking about what i'm fighting for everyday
Learning to adjust and alter my playstyle and ranges during play in tons of online MTT freerolls when I was 18 y.o. was huge for me (as well as watching tons of poker during the 00s poker boom). Recently began playing online again and I've increased my initial $50 bankroll by about 1100% in 3 weeks. Had some coolers this weekend and lost about 10% of my total, so I'm taking a break this week (deleting the pokerstars app from my computer so Im not even tempted) to study and hopefully come back again in a week or maybe two refreshed. Sucks but I have to remember that this weekend's loss isn't the end of the world and I'm still up significantly from where I was a week ago. I have a private (remote) $20 game with some friends tonight though where I can play more relaxed, which will be nice. Sometimes you just gotta step away and take a look at what you can be doing better. I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your content, Doug
Great content mate. Giving back to the community and always willibg to be outspoken and challenge people
Have fun on vacation Doug! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Thanks Doug - this is great info! I've been sharing your knowledge to my crew over the last six months and I've noticed their play quality has increased a lot. I'm joining upswing soon!
Did u join Upswing? Had did it go?
One of the best videos you have made. Thanks Doug.
Doug is the man. Definitely using the Lab to get better.
I was about to go bed... But clocked the poker vid so had to watch! Great vid, appreciated! Going to construct some ranges in my dreams now! =P
Awesome video as usual, not even mad that it's helping the people who play against me, it was too well made
Honestly tho, the only ones that are going to take action are the ones that are already working on their game. I doubt this helps a wide range it just helps the ones getting better anyways get better
Hey Doug love your videos man!
♥
Dougie Fresh this is a great video. You are dropping absolute gold in here!!!
thanks for awesome video. Can you make more videos like this for the lap, talking about building ranges on different boards flop,turn and river. this is what I need!!!
What a great video! Thanks Doug! Enjoy the vaca
I like that he is standing up and not sit down, dont know why
great video. is there a good beginner resource for creating ranges? was hard to understand fully in the vid.could you then use poker tracker to see if your raising folding too much in spots?
One of your best videos to date!
another great vid, thanks doug!
Great video, Doug! Thanks!
Nice Message with the questions! Same with life: The quality of the questions you ask yourself determines the quality of life
Thanks doug polk i think my biggest leaks are figuring out betting ranges on turn & riv with my nutted hands to extract max val I'm still playing with that scared of getting rivered mentality
Hey Doug Polk Poker this video really motivated me to figuring out what the pros are doing. But wich pro's strategy for full ring NL should I study.
Great video thanks for the tips!
The man is so fresh. The swag is unreal!
Amazing video, the only issue is that it might get the button clickers to actually start thinking before they perform an action.
Just found this video, great work thanks!
Excellent vid Doug!
Most of the stuff i learned in poker i learned in the pass few months i knew nothing about the concept of 3 bet pot size bet , bluffing with suited connectors in late position
Great video, as usual !
Dougie, you are true master. If you do decide to coach again you know where to find me. Thank You for all the value you bring to poker community!
That would be expensive as shit sir
Hi Doug, thx for the great vid, I pretty much took it appart xD but i get stuck when trying to understand why you would need a ratio of 2:1 for shoving the pot size bet (at arround 16:36). if i had to give an answer i'd say that the ratio was 1:1 since i have to win every second bet in order to make up for the lost one. where is my error?
thanks in advance and keep the good stuff comming it's much appreciated ;)
I love you doug. This is an incredible video.
Wow. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this information with us noobs Doug.
Hey Doug, firstly i'd like to say that i love your videos. I'd like to as ask, though, in relation to this video; you frequently mention having ranges and having different things you'd do in the same spots to prevent your opponents beating you too easily. However, is this still as relevant for people playing in, say, MTT's with thousands of different players that you might never see again? I apolagise if im misunderstanding you completely, but is this top level stuff really only important if im frequently playing with the same players? Thanks!
I like your videos ,they help my game allot
I hope the day will finally come when I understand this!
My Polker game is improving. thanks
I like your videos where your breaking it down without any sugar coating. Good job. With that said, most people watching this play in limits where people are massively unbalanced, and getting really good at exploiting them is the fastest way to make money - however the problem is if they don't move towards this study, they will get spanked everytime they try and move up. I guess there's a reason you made a good amount playing ..... maybe you know what your talking about hmmmmm
damn ryan fee. I remember his 6-max guide from way back. Pretty much changed my life.
This is such good advice, thank you Doug. Imagine how good the 100+ hours of Upswing Lab content must be if this is the level of the free advice!
You and me Doug. Heads up. Let me know where and I’ll be there. 🤘💥
great vid doug thanks heaps
First poker video I search, and have a poker ad.
I best everything tho,,,, but suppose I can learn a little bit from u. Thats why I downloaded this video before u come to your senses and take it down. Thanks for this, It really helped me to clarify my study process. When will Upswing accept TRON so I can join the empire?
Just thank you man!
Very interesting. I understand why he bets the pot on the river with a bluff 1 time out of 3, but I'm left wondering how he knows that he should bluff checkraise the turn with slightly more combos than than his value checkraises. Is that always the case for turn bluffs? What's the theory that leads to this particular bluff frequency on the turn? Hmmm...
love ur content doug. found you cuz of crypto
stayed cuz your poker tips are fantastical
Thanks for that Crypto Dougy, I am right there, it's been a slow process because i mainly am working by myself. I do post my hands and get feedback and the feedback from others is what is helping me to set-up my ranges! Your a good "kid". I do not care what DNegs says about you!
Love this video very informative....
hitting upswing tommorow. I appreciate you pops. =)
getting equilab tonight.
I think this is the most interesting video for a long time...
Like someone else said this made my head explode, poker seems so hard now :o
Great video Doug! I've got a question: in the example that starts at 12:08 why do you choose to raise exactly 10 combinations for value? Where does that number come from? Can it be a different number? Would appreciate the answer either from you or the community. Thanks.
It's based on bet size. Typically, the more you are betting, the fewer combos you can bet with
Thank you for this Doug. You have rekindled my passion for Poker and I really appreciate you for that! I will be investing in the Upswing Lab in the near future. I feel that that is the next step I must take in order to take my game to the next level.
Did u and how has it improved ur game?
Well all your video helped me allot I wished I had the money to purchase the full course
great video!
I have a range question, how does 9,8 offsuit do against Matt Berkey’s Ace King offsuit when I’m bluffing but somehow magically get there? 😀
Not as well as it would do like the time when Doug had 98 of Spades against Matt Berkey's Ace King offsuit and got there with a Full House because the Ace of Spades was on the flop with 2 7's and he had back-door possibilities yet wouldn't have made the same play with diamonds, hearts or clubs.
Is it just me or do other get the ad with Daniel when watch Doug's vids
I don't think NL holdem will ever be solved in the way a more mathematical game like limit can be solved.
The right move at any time will be so strongly dependent on your opponent that there will always be a balance between GTO and Exploitive play depending on what players you are playing.
Against really good players GTO dominates and against not so good players exploitative play dominates, but even then if you know you are up against a player that is better than you there are things you can do to limit their skill edge.
However the fact remains as long as there is a skill disparity between two players even if only minimally there will be a means by which one player can be exploited over another.
Thanks a lot for this awesome video!!! I Have one question still, lets say the last hand: we call a 3bet but this time flop comes AK2 rainbow instead massive range advantage for the preflop raiser , now how do we construct our calling range vs a pot size bet and how do we plan on calling down on later streets do we still need to call 50% of hands on the flop vs potsize bet? Thanks again for all the awesome strategy advice!!
its ok to over fold if we are at a range disadvantage.
What was the name of the free program to figure out how many combos u can have with value/bluffs
Hey Doug I've been watching your vids for a while and was wondering if you could make a video about bluffing, and in what spots should a player generally bluff in in order to be at least 51% of the time be profitable with it in the long run?
Start small. Try bluffing a flop when there is 1 opponent and you are pretty sure they flopped air. If they are still around for turn, surrender unless you really make your hand. Always bluff hands with some outs in case your barreling fails to elicit a fold. That is probably a smart place to try your 1st bluff.
Video presents a lot of valuable information. However, I don’t think it emphasizes enough playing style or patterns of your opponent/opponents. To me that is very important information that influences what you do and how you play.
So ive been trying to find the right video to start to find out if i got what it takes to take poker a bit more seriously. Beats slots and i actually love all sorts of card games. Anyway so we get 3mins into your video and im thinking are these questions the ones i need answered or am i looking for the answer to something else im not getting. When i notice that ive been given the sign of all signs... What song is randomly busting out on my tv.... Kenny rogers "the gambler" of course.. Wtf, buzziest coincidence ive had in a while. So im a continue learning how to improve my play. Heres hoping u have the video with the answer to my burning question 😎
Thinking of taking trip to vegas from birmingham, AL airport June 28th. To play in couple tournments. Any suggestions on saving money on airfare and rooms?
Can you put a link to the 2p2 section you mentioned? I didn't catcg what you said, and I looked around in the high stakes forum but didn't find what I was looking for.
oh my god dude stop helping the plebs D:
Im joking bro, I am one of the plebs
😂😂😂😂
If Q3s and K9o are in your turn check/raise range doesnt that mean youre opening or calling preflop over 50% of your hands?
