- Many of the common sayings you hear in poker are completely wrong. Sometimes the conventional wisdom just enforces bad habits and steers you down the wrong path. Doug discusses seven of the most common myths that poker players believe, and why you should break this cycle of irrational thinking.

Hey Doug. Watched quite a few of your videos now. Just wanted to say that I think you're doing a great job and I really appreciate all the videos you do. Thanks for making them free as well, it shows you really care about giving back to the community. Good luck out there!
I haven't played poker in years, happened upon your videos. Now I fancy poker again. Really good content, I'll be grinding my way through them.
Doug you're the best man! Wish I could be in Philly this weekend. Can't wait to see some videos from this weekend. Thanks for all the advice.
Doug..... your videos are the best out there... kinda sad that i listen to them in my car on the way home from work instead of the radio but it is what it is.... 💯
Doug I have watched the majority of your videos and I have to say bud you're awesome. Thank you for taking the time there's so many little things I did not know even though I consider myself a pretty self player thanks again.
Bro, you are the best content producer (poker related) on UA-cam nowadays, not to mention you are hilarious. I have a fucking good time watching your videos, besides learning to analyze the game. I love how you don't get carried away with the mix of GTO and exploitive play you make and you keep on focusing on playing rational poker. Anyways, solid game, great content, a lot of fun, keep it up!
I want to thank you for these videos. I've been able to take your advice and apply it to smaller games. I've minimized my losses in a huge way, I've seen my swings shrink from "how do I recover from this?" to "Just keep on playing, you'll recover soon". I've been able to recognize my own mistakes. My game has improved leaps and bounds, Thank you.
Amazing video Doug, really amazing, love what you do!
Excellent advice. Slick editing. Nice job
no idea if u get it. but u are the best bro , keep on :)
used to play you wc3 TFT long time ago , 10 years in poker by now , but this really far the best poker content ever .
Doug, thanks so much for your advise. It all makes sense.
I like your style man. Your vids are entertaining and your tips are level headed and helpful!
I love when Doug's inner troll comes out. @11:48 sidenote: Doug you must really love Alec's dubstep intro since that seems to be the only part you watch lmao (red bar showing how much he's watched only goes approx. 20 seconds in)
This was your best video imho!
Good job :D
man what a great video!! going to share it w some friends!! #7 was Great!
Your Channel iss great. Thanks for all the great videos. Been playijng poker live for ths last 8 months or. Won a bit if money a couole times in local small city tournamnents. This info is fantastic on all your videos :)
From what I've seen in Alec's vids he does play a GTO based style and adjusts according to who he plays he even says that it is best to base your play on game theory. One hand means squat but man you take it hard and I get it. The rivalry between you two is building. Love it!
I feel like I've been playing better poker in the past few months than the past 15 years because I'm now thinking about the game in a different way thanks to these videos. I'm focused more on game theory than thinking in circles like you discussed before. Thanks for the vids and insight. Awesome.
Booya sir, that's exactly what learning is all about. And the only way to learn faster than on your own is being taught by someone else. Even books count as being taught by someone else, but vlogs are even better.
Kudos d00d, I hope you've been kickin some booty in the past 6 years.
this comment is years old but it sounds like you weren't studying theory. You need studying, not youtube videos
Hey Doug, first of all big thank you for the content you´re delivering. I really appreciate this! I would like to know what do you think about the future of poker? Probally you can make a video about it? Mostly people think that online poker will not exist anymore when nothing happens. But live poker should be always be profitable...How do you see online & live poker in 5, 10 or 20 years? I think a lot of professionals are planning to quit poker in the midterm! What about you? Thanks
hey dude, i have a question. Any chance you can elaborate a little more on how one "studies poker". (what books to read/what material and content to believe etc) i'd love to know more about that and what you've done to study poker (besides playing).
thanks man keep it up!
The Luke plugs are gold
Brilliant. Thanks for the post!
Excellent vid Doug. EPROM.
Give 'Em What Fer @ Poker Night in America. I'll tune in for the Cate / Mike thing.
Good video Doug, I like the "big picture" focused content to get me through the moments of doubt as I'm still a bit of a noob.
Love this vids.Go go Doug!
Shots ringing out all over this video. Love it
But if you call the flop, you should at least see the turn.
And if you call the turn, you should see the flop. To take it into account with your decision.
If you see some cards now, you should see more cards later! :D
Big if true.
What if they call the turn? You just barrel the river and lose more money?
hahah, F YOU, HAHAHA
I've got to say I respect you for not just throwing out a "What is up guys" in lieu of your now disturbingly consistent use of "What's up guys" just to get one extra like from me. It's been really hard to not click that like button for these past two vids which have been among your best content ever.
Thanks Doug and good luck on PNA
Thanks Doug for the Spanish translations; greetings from Colombia.
Great Video!! keep the good work
This video makes me think about how players may play a style like TAG or LAG but cannot adpat past what theyre "told" or "shown" to play in those ranges, I myself have a lot of trouble using the information I have against my opponents. I wish I knew how to use like an agression stat on my hud to its full advantege or a 3 bet stat. I wish there was more on how to use these tools to enhance playing the game from an online perspective. Knowing how to better process things would allow me to find good reasons to make specific adjustments.
I am developing my game by analyzing my hands and developing and balancing my ranges. But also I am learning and working on applying exploitative play style against opponents that you can do so. I think at certain levels exploitative play can be more profitable, especially in the fields I am currently playing. I think to reach the Higher Limits you need to understand every single exploit and how to apply it. And when the field is such that most guys actually do understand that, then your only option will be to play sound GTO. Am I getting this right?
oh the graph punts men.. made my day doug, thanks (:
i stopped playing poker a long time ago, even though i was a bad micro level player, but i watch your poker analisys every day even though i dont play poker and man... i like the way u teach / analyse hands... u should make some sort of poker school :D i would join
Rui Gomes He runs a coaching company called Upswing
Clearly, Doug's skill set not confined to playing the game. I would go out on limb to say his communication skills unequaled in terms of disseminating poker knowledge & wisdom to the masses.
you have never heard phil galfond talk obviously
Excellent commentary!
Another Great video. I agree with every single word you say. Our philosophy about poker is just the same. Hope i can be as successful as you one day
Love the call back to the previous video! Where is the Phil Laak Video?
Doug, could you discuss some of the off table study you do or used to do in reference to cultivating a proto-GTO strategy?
This is one of your best videos
I see you've beaten the boss monster of the previous level and are now playing at Expert Troll difficulty. Very pleasing. You, sir, are truly beasting high stakes.
Thanks for the great videos
Thanks Doug. Good video
Thanks for taking time to make vids and give back to the poker community. I love your hair, for what's it's worth!
Great content as usual.
Thanks, Doug
Hey Doug, great stuff great content keep 'beasting' those videos out run those 'pigeons' over. Can you tell me what are the books that you have there in the background I can make out the one on top but not the others.
Lots shit dude.
Are you going to translate to spanish old videos like "how I play heads up no limit", "How I won millions of dollars playing poker" and "Can you make money investing in poker players"? Thanks for your videos and analisis, are very instructives, regards!
Doug, can you give me the link of this pic from tom dwan in your background?
Nice vid. Good luck in Philly!
Doug, are you planning on finishing the BR challenge?
Intro on Point! :)
Props to Doug, he's been taking a lot of shots at other players recently.
WOW, I couldn't believe #5! Holy shit!
Doug, what program so you suggest to analyze omaha hands with?
Loved your tribute to Jerry Yang, Scotty, and Gold the "Masters" of NL Hold Em.
Really felt that scene from Rounders where Matt Damon loses to the higher full house
Great stuff! Thx
All this good advises are wasted on me like pearls before swine.
I`m here for the humor :)
Hey Doug. If u respond to this i will produce a remake of Rounders, starring Mercier as KGB.
Great video. All these are so true and I hear them alot. I'm guilty of many of these myself. I just appreciate how doug polk seems to genuinely want to help his viewers play better poker.
Doug, breakdown your hand with seiver on the super high roller cash game. tt vs 88.
Good advice Doug :)
LOL the viffer cut. Fucking great.
I'm subbed to Alec and his GTO vids have driven me up a wall lol thanks for addressing it just for my sake
Seriously @Doug, you are a very smart funny guy, I enjoy your videos a lot. Also great free poker insights (for real is like getting coaching if someone pay attention to your analysis on the hands). Well done.
I lost track of how many people you trolled in this video haha well done
5:50 I expected it to switch to zooming to you but I still laughed lol
That's exactly what happened though.
+SrslySirius That's what he's saying
Doug, might be wasting my time posing this question as most that do here and elsewhere are trolling you. Have you shared where you go for your hair? I will eventually be moving to Vegas and also rock the faux hawk. This is NOT a tomorrow question, I'm lucky if this is a 2-year question, but thought I'd ask as you're back on point today.
Doug still mad at Alec's SOUL reading powers! Greatest call in the HISTORY of Poker! The HISTORY!
Doug In regards to live Exploitative??
HAHAHA TOM DWAN ON THE MILK CARTON IN THE BACKGROUND
MuleKingWe you must be new here
It’s shit like that that puts Doug over the top
hey mate, noticed you only ever use prime numbers for your lists, does this have anything to do with your involvement with the illuminutty?
That intro though!
Speaking of books, Dude... Doug... I would totally buy your book.
Doug Polk, i just thought up a new game what you think..its called Holdem Reverse the river comes out first, then turn, then flop on the end what you think lol
What's your opinion on players whose goal is to merely play the WSOP ME to check it off their "bucket list"?
I love Dougs poker vids. Most of the time, his vids are the best but some of the time, a lot of the time, they're not the best but a good amount of the time they're gona be the best most of the time. Like , comment and subscribe.... and I think theres a lot to be said about all three options.... xD great vid
your words are epic and i ll have more respect for guys who say what they think is good or bad instaed of saying things about other peoplee that there bad !! You create an great way for reaching out to those who love the game Vamos WGrider and much respect Raiserke21 ak Ruben from Belgium
hey Doug. how much did you spend on autobronze?
Doug, ur the man.
Wow what a great GTO summary @12:01
The Viffer callback was absolute gold.
I like this video. Your video on how you made millions was good too. Can you make more of these types of videos?
maybe videos analyzing specific player profiles ie kassouf, ivey, or even the best players in the world like luke schwartz
Doug pls put that hellmuth poster a tiny bit down to the camera angle a bit up so we can see his beautiful face better! nice work, u are the man!
wow so early for once i love the free training if i ever win the lottery im gonna challenge you to headsup so you can know what it feels like winning the lottery :)
massive hangover here, can't think of any useful comment
You'll have that on them big jobs, Bro
The bit at 2:20 had me in tears LOL
why your channel not called doug polker ? ?? the universe just handed you that one
Doug could you do a vid explaining things like "Cross book". I don't totally get that. thanks! (be sure to start it with "What's up Guys Doug Polk Here"")
I use my understanding of GTO to identify where my opponents deviate from it to exploit them.
+Bizeeey reasonable approach
When "they" meaning the acquaintances of jrb refused to let you play at their huge game in Ivey's room, 10 minutes I believe it's what you said they let you play after your name was on the list for like 6 hours or something shows you are a monster at no limit and only a handful of people even willing to play you. Thanx literally being responsible for me winning $1,000's more than I would have otherwise since I've subscribe to your videos way back in September
Every hand in the big game be like: "Why call flop if you're gonna fold top pair to a flop shove for 400000 BB"
Love watching Luke on the Premier League, dude cracks me up
Doug i wish i smoke joint with u and play sunday milion once :) it will never happned for sure :) u are the best poker player out there big respect :) greetings from Macedonia
Gracias por los subtitulos!
good vlog.
Hi Doug, big fan and newer subscriber. I'm looking for newer books on poker theory. any suggestions?
www.upswingpoker.com
Applications of No Limit Holdem. There's also a part 2 coming soon which should be sick.
he was asking for poker theory, not someone yammering on for over and over again how you should've bet 2% larger.
I assumed he can't be that new if he's asking for poker theory. Just because he only recently subscribed to Doug doesn't mean he's new to poker.
Sorry for such a late reply to everyone. I am not new to poker and play mostly live and tournaments. Recently been playing a lot more and more for income as my work situation has changed. I have read mostly strat books which only goes so far obvioisly and have some understanding of theory but want more. thanks for the replies!
