WPH #399: Is DOUG POLK Ever BLUFFING Here?



Today we have an interesting hand from The Lodge where Doug Polk makes a huge all-in river bet in a high stakes live cash game!

Texas poker is WILD and this hand is no different! Constant straddles, 3-bets, huge bluffs, and massive pots make these games extremely exciting… and profitable for great players like Doug Polk! When the straddle reaches $100 in this $5/$10 live cash game, Polk gets into a high stakes battle with Poker Traveler in a pot that is over $35,000!?

In this video I take a look at the poker strategy you should apply in straddled pots in live cash games and cover the fundamentals for bet sizings on both your bluffs and value hands!

Thank you to The Lodge for letting me use their footage! Check them out here: https://www.youtube.com/TheLodgeLive

WPH #398: RAMPAGE POKER Runs The SICKEST BLUFF Ever!



I break down Rampage Poker’s SICK BLUFF on the recent Hustler Casino Live stream!

Rampage is known to run some crazy bluffs in huge pots, but this time he has found an opponent that is just as wild as he is! When the river brings a full house for Rampage’s opponent (who has slow played Pocket Kings!!) Rampage attempts a huge check-raise all-in over his opponent’s river overbet!?

Will this sick bluff get through? Watch until the end to find out!

How To Play The TURN When DEEP – GTO Examples | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 3-14-2022



Despite being a byproduct of success, a deep stack can be hard to play with at the poker table. Both cash game and tournament players can struggle adjusting to big chip stacks, as there are more variables to consider.

The decisions you make on the turn can often make or break your success in the hand. Turn play can be hard enough, but what variables should you be considering when you are deep stacked? The bigger the stack the more you have to lose, which means you must be prepared! Whether you specialize in sit & go’s, head’s-up cash games, or multi-table tournaments you will experience the turn, now is the time to do the homework and materialize success.

As a professional poker player, I need to be able to consistently focus throughout the day. I used to drink a lot of coffee to help with focus, but it would inevitably lead to a crash. Then, I discovered BRÈINFÚEL.

It combines everything you need including natural caffeine, MTC oil, vitamin C, vitamin E and collagen to give long lasting energy in a healthy way that allows you to focus your best all day long.

How To Decide WHEN To BLUFF! | A Little BRÈINFÚEL with Jonathan Little 2-14-2022

“I guess it’s time to bluff” is not what you want to be telling yourself at the poker table. Today, I detail the bluffing flowchart that will give even beginner poker players the know-how they need to bluff effectively.

As a professional poker player, I need to be able to consistently focus throughout the day. I used to drink a lot of coffee to help with focus, but it would inevitably lead to a crash. Then, I discovered BRÈINFÚEL.

It combines everything you need including natural caffeine, MTC oil, vitamin C, vitamin E and collagen to give long lasting energy in a healthy way that allows you to focus your best all day long.
