Title: Re: Didn't Doug Polk quit? Post by: Doobs on March 06, 2021, 09:26:40 AM Bit harsh Arbboy, it isn't like Doug Polk is some mug. He is way above me.
James Bord comes across pretty badly here. I was pretty surprised to see him there, thought he had long gone. No idea who his sidekicks were. Title: Re: Didn't Doug Polk quit?

hilarious that he tabled that in front of hellmuth, complete disrespect for his game. Title: Re: Didn't Doug Polk quit? Post by: Ledders on March 06, 2021, 01:00:19 PM Was similarly amazed to see Bord back and equally not surprised to see he is still an insufferable prick.
Polk is one of the biggest stations out there, and is number 1 in the world at not following reads and playing 'GTO' -that Hellmuth got him to fold this by mentioning blockers is incredible. I think it's a fold because Hellmuth has no idea about checking range on boards such as this and cbets all his combo flush draws and likely all sets other than top set because you gotta trap that 100% of the time regardless of board texture obv. I'm surprised Hellmuth has QTo here but the call is b/e against a range of JJ, 88, QTs, and how is he ever lighter than this other than QTo Title: Re: Didn't Doug Polk quit? Post by: teddybloat on March 07, 2021, 12:44:11 PM polk reviewed the hand on his youtube channel
- he says it probably isnt even an exploitative fold given the situation : ie QT is a big enough part of his range then he is unexploitable only calling the nuts and T7s facing that bet 3 way. - the table talk of the other players didnt bother him : "who care what donks think about the hand, i'm not going be affected by what bord thinks hellmuth has" - hellmuths talk was just the extra push he needed to make the fold, he feels its a clear fold v most players, he doesnt care what other players tendencies are in general, but will go with reads in close spots - this wasnt a close spot but the fact he could be made to look foolish on TV was the biggest doubt in his mind. when hellmuth mentioned blockers it simply sealed the deal |
