- WPH #531: “OMG SHE’S A MONSTER!!!”
#gameofgold #pokerstrategy #ggpoker
Heads-up poker is the purest form of our beautiful game & there is nowhere to hide! There can only be one winner and one loser! In this heads-up battle Nikita Luther takes on David Williams during PokerGO’s Game of Gold in South Korea. Luther finds herself on the river with a busted draw. It looks like she doesn’t have the courage to fire out a bluff as she decides to check. Surely she has now waved the white flag to Williams to value bet his pair of jacks?
In full-ring games, when you defend from the big blind against a raise and then call a continuation bet on the flop, it’s often a solid strategy to have a leading range on turns that pair the middle or bottom card. These cards are more likely to be a part of your range than your opponent’s, so you can go into the leveling war. This allows you to mix in leads with both your value hands and your bluffs.
David Williams is a professional poker player from America. He has over $9,300,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 150 on the all-time money list. His largest cash of $3,500,000 came from the 2004 WSOP Main Event where he narrowly lost out on his first bracelet to Greg Raymer ‘Fossilman’. Two years later he captured his first WSOP bracelet after winning the 2006 $1,500 7 Card Stud event for $163,118.Nikita Luther is a professional poker player from India and is a Natural8 ambassador. She has over $530,000 in live tournament poker earnings and one World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet from the $1,000 Tag Team Event in 2018 for $87,902 where she partnered with professional poker player Giuseppe Pantaleo from Germany.Filmed in Seoul, South Korea and hosted by experienced poker broadcaster Ali Nejad, Game of Gold combines high stakes poker with survival reality TV. Over the course of the 12 episodes, the sixteen participants competed across various poker formats, including Sit & Go’s, Heads-Up games, Indian Poker and a standard tournament poker game.The poker players on the show included Daniel Negreanu “KidPoker”, Jason Koon, Fedor Holz “CrownUpGuy”, Kevin Martin, Kyna England, Josh Arieh, Daniel Cates “Jungleman”, Lukas Robinson “RobinPoker”, Nikita Luther, Charlie Carrel “Epiphany77”, Johan Guilbert “YoH ViraL”, Olga Iermolcheva, David Williams, Andy Tsai “Andy Stacks”, Michael Soyza, and Maria Ho.Round 2 was the heads-up team battle part of the show – There were 4 teams with three players on each team. After one match, the losing team would put up their next poker player. After one team had lost 3 matches they would be eliminated to the losers bracket with the winning team advancing to the winners bracket. The 3 players on the losing team from the losers bracket would be eliminated from the show.The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.Game of Gold Results1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,0002nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $03rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $04th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $05th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $06th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0Preflop:David Williams raises to 40,000 with J8o from the button, which is also the small blind during heads-up poker. Nikita Luther calls with 96o from the big blind as they both head to the flop.Flop – Jd 7d 5s:Luther flops a gutshot straight draw that isn’t to the nuts, she checks to which Williams fires a continuation bet of 50,000 with his top pair and backdoor straight draw. Luther makes the call out of position.Turn – 7h:The board-pairing 7 of diamonds doesn’t improve Luther’s hand. However, she decides to donk lead for 70,000 since she is aware that she has more sevens in her range. Williams who will also be aware of this, just calls with his top pair and they head to the river.River – 4d:The river completes a few possible front door straight draws but not the one Luther has. She checks, seemingly content to give up on her bluff. Williams now decides to go for some thin value and bets 150,000 with his pair of jacks. It looks like WIlliams is going to take down the hand right now, right?

59 min - WPH #530: He DESTROYED Them ALL For $5,000,000!#pokerstrategy #highstakespoker #hustlercasinoliveDuring the 2024 Million Dollar Game on Hustler Casino Live, the star-studded field of businessmen and pros created a plethora of huge pots and spectacular hands. Tom Dwan and Peter headlined many of these, including one where Peter rivers a boat against Dwan and decides to fire out a huge value bet. Can Dwan make the right fold or will Peter milk him for thousands and thousands of dollars once more?When you are looking for bluffs on the river you should use your hands that would block your opponent’s strongest holdings. A great example is when you have a counterfeited bottom two pair, you will be blocking a lot of the full houses that your opponent could have.Tom Dwan ‘durrrr’ from his online days, is an American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker’s Black Friday hit & he is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Tom is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. He’s often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. He currently has over $6,800,000 in live tournament earnings which puts him in the top 250 on the all time money list. Since 2008, He’s played on over 210 live cash game streams and has won over $4,000,000. He is ranked in the top 2 biggest live cash game winners ever as reported by TrackingPoker.Peter is a Chinese high stakes poker player and an avid pumpkin eater according to the commentators. He has made multiple appearances on televised cash game shows such as Hustler Casino Live and Bally Poker Live and he is known to want to play any stakes that are on offer. Since 2022, Peter has played on over 20 live cash game streams and has won over $3,400,000. He’s ranked in the top 3 biggest live cash game winners as reported by TrackingPoker.Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high-value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state-of-the-art live poker show. Hustler Casino Live looks more like coverage of a TV broadcast sporting event and appeals to those beyond the poker community, They host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.This was from the first day of the 2024 edition of the highly anticipated Million Dollar Game, which had a $1,000,000 minimum buy-in. The game was streamed for four evenings straight and featured an array of professionals and businessmen competing against one another. The players included: Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Alan Keating, Santhosh Suvarna, Peter, Hook, Brandon Steven, Stanley, Rahul, Steve, Texas Mike, Rahul and a mysterious guest called Thomas.Preflop:With the $2,000 straddle on, Peter limps under the gun with pocket sevens. Action Dan raises to $6,000 from the hijack with A8o. Tom Dwan calls from the button with 97 of hearts and Peter comes along with his walking sticks.Flop – Kc 9s 7c:Peter flops the jackpot with his pocket pair on the king-high connected board, as he has hit a set. He checks to the preflop raiser Action Dan, who makes a continuation bet of $12,000 with just one overcard, a backdoor straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw. Dwan doesn’t know it yet, but the flop is an absolute disaster for him, as he has hit bottom two pair with his suited one-gapper. He raises to $46,000, which Peter just calls. Dan folds, and they go to the turn heads-up.Turn – Qh:The queen of hearts on the turn brings in jack-ten for the nut straight. Peter checks again with bottom set. Dwan checks back with his vulnerable bottom two pair.River – Kd:The river brings a board-pairing king of diamonds, which improves Peter to a full house and counterfeits Dwan’s two pair. Peter fires out a bet of $70,000. Dwan only has a bluff catcher now, but will he be able to figure this hand out and fold or will he pay Peter off?

12 min - WPH #529: Doug Polk Is DEVASTATED!!!!!!!!!!#pokerstrategy #highstakespoker #thelodgecardclubDoug 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.Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’ is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme. Doug has over $9,500,000 in live tournament earnings and 3 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, including a win in the 2017 $100k Super High Roller for $1,600,000. Since 2014 he has played over 100 times on live streamed cash games and is up over $300,000.James, also known by “”Tesla”” is an American amateur poker player and entrepreneur who lives in Panama City Beach, Florida, USA. This was his first appearance on The Lodge Live Stream. James is currently down over $740,000 from 3 live streamed cash games and has only played at The Lodge Card Club.\\In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock.

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!

16 min - WPH #528: He SHOCKS Everyone By Doing THIS!When you think about a nit at the poker table, who comes to mind? I doubt any of you thought of former WSOP Main Event final runner-up David Williams! During GGPoker’s Game of Gold in South Korea, Williams finds himself holding two pair and faces a bet on the river from one of poker’s most formidable overlords – Jason Koon. But will Williams manage to make the right decision and call?As the preflop raiser, you should be careful with continuation betting on medium connected boards when playing against the big blind. Their range will hit that board more frequently which means you will face a higher amount of aggression through check-raises. This puts your holdings that have over cards in a tricky situation and will often mean you need to fold a decent amount of equity.Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’ is a 38 year old professional poker player from America. He has over $56,000,000 in live tournament earnings putting him in the top 5 on the all-time money list. He has 1 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelet from the 2021 $25,000 Heads-Up Championship event. He was also a GGPoker Ambassador for almost 3 years up until 2024.David Williams is a professional poker player from America.

The rounds increased in the amount of coins that were offered, until the fourth ‘mystery’ round, where no-one knew how many coins were on offer. The team with the least Game of Gold coins at the end of all four Sit & Go’s would be eliminated.The final six players competed in a winner-take-all format Sit & Go (SNG). This was unique as it meant there was no Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on any of the poker players.Game of Gold Results1st: Maria Ho – U.S.A – $456,0002nd: Daniel Cates ‘Jungleman’ – U.S.A – $03rd: Johan Guilbert ‘Yoh Viral’ – France – $04th: Fedor Holz ‘CrownUpGuy’ – Germany – $05th: Kyna England – U.S.A – $06th: Josh Arieh – U.S.A – $0Preflop:David Williams raises to 160,000 from the button with KJo. After the small blind folds, Jason Koon defends from the big blind with a dominated JTo, and they head to the flop.Flop – 8s 7c 3h:Koon flops two overcards and a gutshot straight draw. He checks from out of position and Williams fires a continuation bet of 150,000 with his two broadway cards and backdoor straight draw. Koon calls as they both head to the turn.Turn – Js:The J of spades on the turn is disastrous for Koon as he has hit top pair but is out-kicked by Williams. He checks and Williams decides to exercise some pot control by checking back.River – Kh:The king of hearts on the river is an overcard to Koon’s pair of jacks. However, this doesn’t scare him as he takes the betting lead and fires out a bet of 480,000. Williams has improved to a disguised backdoor top two pair. But what will the WSOP Main Event runner-up do? Fold? Surely not! Be a nit and just call, or put in the raise?

6 min - WPH #527: How To BULLY As The CHIP LEADER!!!!Being at the final table of a $25,000 buy-in PokerGO tournament in Las Vegas is likely a dream situation for every poker player. PokerCoaching coach and founder Jonathan Little found himself in that exact situation with $450,000 awaiting the eventual winner! Knowing when to pressure your opponent is crucial to pick up chips throughout the final table and here Jonathan Little demonstrates exactly how to do just that! .When you are the biggest stack at a final table, you often want to use frequent aggression with smaller bet sizes. This allows you to build the pot to put your opponent all-in by the river. It also forces a competent opponent to overfold, because they will know that they are likely going to be facing bets on multiple streets.Jonathan Little ‘FieryJustice’, ’Jcardshark’, ‘JonLittle’ is in the top 150 on the all time money list with over $8,800,000 in total live earnings. He has 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, both of which were for over $1,000,000. He won the WPT Season VI (2007-2008) Player of the Year award.

Chip leader Jonathan Little checks from the big blind with 84o and they both head to the flop.Flop – 5h 3s 3c:Zaki’s ace-high is still best on the five-high flop. He checks with two overcards and a backdoor straight draw. Little fires out a bet of 60,000 with eight-high and a backdoor straight draw. Zaki calls and they continue to the turn.Turn – 9d:The 9 of diamonds on the turn completes the badugi board. Zaki checks again with the best hand. Little doesn’t pick up any backdoor draws but decides to check it back.River – Qc:The Q of clubs doesn’t improve either player’s hand. Zaki checks, surely hoping that he can get to showdown cheaply. Jonathan knows his eight-high will be second best if he checks behind, so he decides to bluff and fires out a bet of 150,000 for half-pot. Zaki is an experienced poker player and knows that Little, as the chip leader, can apply a lot of Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure on him at this final table.

1 hr 41 min - WPH #526: Savage SLOWROLL Leaves Him DISGUSTED!Dan Cates also known as Jungleman has proven himself as one of the most formidable online poker players in the world. However, he is known to grace the live tables and in this hand he found himself in the cash game streets on the Lodge Card Club stream in Texas. He is battling against stream regular and action player Taras. Jungleman finds himself in a bit of a predicament after he value bets an overpair on the river only for Taras to turn over his cards and show the winning hand whilst he contemplates his decision. Will Cates be able to talk him into folding the winning hand?On the turn, when the board is extremely connected and wet, you should look to use large bet sizes such as a pot sized bet or an overbet. A lot of rivers will change the board texture which may not allow you to bet again with hands that were previously strong value hands. Charge your opponents more for them to draw to their straight or flush.Dan Cates also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z is a 33 year old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live.

9 min - My 5 BEST Preflop Tips to CRUSH Online Cash Games
If you want to do well in online cash games, you must focus on the fundamentals! While there are many crazy poker game variations online, the most important part of online cash games is the preflop strategy. Without a sound preflop strategy, no amount of skill can make up for the losses!
You make pre-flop decisions for every single poker hand, which makes them extremely important. If you make mistakes preflop, you will compound these mistakes by making more on the flop, turn, and river. On online poker sites, you see many more hands per hour than at a live table. This means that missing out on little bits of value could cost you a fortune in the long run!
Preflop poker is not about memorizing exact ranges and trying to replicate it perfectly! It’s about having good fundamentals and good preflop mechanics! You’ll learn when to 3-bet, call, or fold, as well as specifically how you should be thinking before the flop to avoid making mistakes on future betting rounds!
