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.

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.\\

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! Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out and let me know what you think!
