Hey Talal,

This is a cool hand.

Your intuition that he's pretty heavy in 5 high straights is correct IMO.

But trying to find bluff combos for Scott here is quite hard, because a lot of the hands that were semi-bluffing flop/turn just rivered a straight. His next most logical bluffs would be hands blocking other big diamonds that have < straight on the river. But with the K on the board and the Q and J in your hand, these are quite hard to find as well.

Playing your HAND vs Scott's RANGE is pretty interesting here, because he has 7 nut combos, relatively few non-nut flushes (something like 4 to 8 of them), some 6/7 high straights, but [probably] none that include offsuit combinations (due to opening in CO with ~20bb stacks on BTN/SB and the big stack in the BB), and a decent chunk of his range that is a 5 high straight with one diamond (often the Ad).

With all that said, I have to agree with Kanu (and what you said on the podcast)-- I prefer a small bet over a check.

Have not watched a pod in so long, but as an original avid supporter, I shall return. All in good time

Yo Papi,

What do you think of Dog Porks new show? Kinda **** effort bringing it out a couple of days after you and AF no?

Looks like it wasn't spur of the moment but still..........

I pitched the idea to Doug months ago.

So its your fault Srsly

I wouldn't forgive many people but you are one of them

Competition is always good for business

I don't know Tim. Competition could mess up the podcast ecosystem.

I really hope both of you guys (doug and joey) 'news from NVG" keeps running and you guys find success with it. Hopefully it attracts some outsiders. Poker needs all the help it can get. We need more players playing poker!

Great pod with Talal, Joey. I really enjoyed watching it and getting his perspective on some great topics. Keep up the good work Papi and good luck in that 25K PLO WSOP tourney. TID!!!

I think raidalot realized trying to talk strat in NVG was suboptimal.

Loved the pod.

I've had the idea for this type of show for about 3 years now and have talked about it with various people over that time. I am pretty good friends with the Upswing guys and will most likely end up doing something pretty great with them in the near future. I did talk a bit with the guys about this type of show and why I think it is GTO to do. I think I have a much different perspective when it comes to all of this world. I don't really look at anything else as competition, if people out there enjoy listening/watching something else then I think they should. I have a lot of appreciation for people who actually put the time in to make anything for the poker world.

I wrote a short blog post on why I think these types of shows are really important for poker because of how much it helps to keep current fans of poker and former/onthe fence fans of poker engaged in what is happening in the world. I agree with tytythefly that it is a new way to help attract some outsides into poker and get them to become more engaged/in the know on what is happening. I really think that angle isn't very utilized in helping to attract more people into/keeping them around poker.

I have outlined a show like this in about 10 different variations and the original one me and Adrian went with isn't going to be the one that we end up using. I think these types of shows could have a really big impact in the poker world in the upcoming years and would expect to see more of them soon.

Does anyone know who these people are on my Day 2 seat draw of the 25k PLO???

Papi you better not do any strategy PLO ish for upswing man

What other people? All I see on the seat draw is KING PAPI!

not shoving an A, very few bluffs as well. admire you as a person and as a podcast guest tho

Hopefully this helps king papii:

FYP

I thought Joey is a feminist now LOL and Bonomo is such a pussy his pink hair confirms it. Joey trust me your are not a feminist and nor do you ever want to be, you are for women's equal rights but you are not a feminist, male feminist and males that call themselves feminist are pathetic. Bonomo do you play the male feminist card to get laid? how well does that work for you bud??

What's wrong with being a feminist? It's a lot better than the alternative.

Your post prob gonna get deleted. I posted something along the same lines, when I was a mod, and the mods were not happy about it!

Anyone heard the opinion that feminism was created by certain businessmen to get women out of the household and into the workforce? Doubling their markets.
Search Aaron Russo feminism for more info.

I have PM'd Doug to discuss the bet.

A couple of things:

i) I wonder if he will play his Upswing 'well' style, or his Doug 'winning' style?

ii) Will he stream the challenge? (Even if he hides the holecards I think it'd be useful to watch)

iii) Will Joey do like he did for Yaarny and stream multiple sessions? (Or is NLHE ugly and bad?)

iv) This is the q I was interested in, so hopefully somebody can give an answer. When a player is playing zoom, can an observer watch all his hands through the stars client if he's logged in? (Like the old days where you could easily view all tables)
