Doug Polk’s version of the octagon is the Lodge Card Club in Texas and he is always involved in crazy & wild hands at his home stomping ground. In this video you’ll find an incredible battle as he faces off against entrepreneur and fan favorite – Tesla. Both players happen to river a flush, but after Tesla shows one of his cards, Doug is baffled as to what he should do!
When you are playing against overly loose-aggressive players, you should do your best to be patient and wait to make a hand to stack them. You do however have to be willing to call down lighter with a hand such as top pair against these types of players over multiple streets. Do not be disheartened or tilted if they happen to make a quirky two pair or straight, as it can be hard to assign normal Game Theory Optimal (GTO) ranges to them when they are playing close to every hand.

🔍 Preflop: Doug raises to $2,500 from the cutoff with Q9o. Bulldog calls from the big blind with A6 of clubs and Tesla calls from the under-the-gun straddle with Q2o.
💸 Flop – Qd 6h 3d: Bulldog checks with his middle pair. Tesla also checks after flopping top pair and a backdoor flush draw. Doug flops a pair of queens himself with a better kicker and a stronger backdoor flush draw. He continuation bets for $2,500 and receives a call from Bulldog. Tesla then check-raises to $10,000. Doug calls with the best hand before Bulldog throws away his pair of sixes as two of them head to the turn.
💣 Turn – 8d: The 8 of diamonds on the turn brings in the flush and gives both players a backdoor flush draw. Tesla continues his aggression from the flop by firing out a pot-sized bet of $30,000. Doug calls as they both see a river.
🌊 River – 7d: A fourth diamond appears on the river, giving both players their flush. Tesla fires out again, this time for $75,000 with the worst hand. All Doug has to do is slide in the call, and he will win a pot of over $200,000. But what Tesla decides to do next is insane!
