      That's my problem with Doug. He won't recognize that Tom would make crazy floats and calls against certain players that he knew he could out play. No one can be critical of him on this show, he made tons of money. Sometimes your cards don't matter if you are better. Math guys just don't understand. Dwan is both, math guy and soul reader

    Hey Doug. If Eli did in fact have the top of his range here, AK, KQs for example, would you fire off three, or would you check the turn?
    On the one hand, this board makes it particularly difficult for Dwan to have value hands that are going to call down 3 streets. There's not many 3s in his range (although the 104s call might suggest otherwise) and if you have KQ, AQ you block Dwan from having a Qx hand. This means Dwan will probably have a tonne of 78-JTcc type hands, perhaps JJ-88 type hands and floats. If they have floats or flush draws, you can c/c two streets and get max value. If they have JJ-88 they will probably check turn back and you can go for value otr.
    On the other hand, if you're checking turn here with AQ, KQ, it means you're checking turn 100% of the time. This is a bit problematic because if you get to the turn with a bluff then you're in a bit of a bad spot. You can't really c/r with any of your value range here so you don't have any credible c/r bluffs. Additionally, checking turn and then bluffing otr when they check back turn is a pretty strange line and bluffs would probably be pretty heavily discounted. This makes it pretty easy to check back JJ-88 ott (which is a huge bulk of Dwan's range here imo) and fold to riv bet because your opponent is so unbalanced.
    Do you solve this by perhaps checking AK, KJs, JTs type hands (which block Qx combinations) ott and firing them otr?
    Thanks :)

Think that might be pretty funny. Anyways doug keep up the good content!

    Hey doug, Loved the video. Can you explain your comment on the river where you said, (in regards to elezra) "He would have to check the river bet the turn and bet the flop." You were describing the chances of him having a queen in that spot. I understand what you're saying, but I am not 100% sure on kind of your thoughts behind it. Thanks!

    • @DougPolkPoker
      @DougPolkPoker  8 років тому

      If Eli bets the turn, and Tom calls, Tom is now more likely to have a queen, which is bad for his hand.
      If he checks, Tom has his range of hands that calls the flop, not flop+turn, so Tom is more likely to be bluffing/have air

    Absolute train-wreck hand from Eli. I like the way he played it until the river. Now Tom has to bet his entire bluff range as well as Qs or 3s. Since it's Dwan he has far more bluffs than boats hence insta-call.

    • @andrewwebber421
      @andrewwebber421 4 роки тому

      Yes I agree with the board two pair, the possible flush draw and Dwan’s loose play, when Eli checks the river, a river bet from Dwan like that is more likely a bluff, so has to be a call

    Dwan doesn't doesn't represent too may value hands on the river so if he is going to bluff with all missed club draws and some missed heart draws then he's probably way too unbalanced on the river. If he were to overjam, then using T4 would make more sense no?

    In general against a loose player or someone who considers themselves the so called table captain, I am calling here mainly to show the rest of the table that I won't be bluffed out (in a cash game). I think Eli folds here either because he thought he picked up something with Tom's bet sizing, or he was under-rolled and didn't want to walk away stuck.

      I totally agree.
      BUT, that's also why Dwan is/was one of the absolute best high stakes cash players....He's SO good at mixing his range. Eli had 0 idea where he was in the hand, what other hand would flat the flop AND turn just to bet the river? Answer: one with a Q in it and ONLY a Q. Tom KNEW 100% Eli didn't have a Q once he checked the river, and like Doug said, there was only a slim chance Eli 3-bet preflop with a Q in his hand anyway... Tom knew that and played it perfectly when his flushdraw missed.

    • @Badbentham
      @Badbentham 8 років тому

      Exactly. It is absolutely inconsequential to fire for thin value on the turn here, just to give it away because you realize you lost control over the pot on the river. Especially as Eli should know that he has a Q only rarely in this spot.
