This is like David and Goliath. I hope Dnegs somehow wins.

Sure, I can see disagreeing with how DN handled the whole Pokerstars thing, but it was his JOB.

WTF has Polk ever done except succeed at the highest levels of the game and then host a very entertaining and funny youtube channel?

You all sound like lil bi*ches
also this even though i'm guilty of it myself

Of course not until recently the guy lived in his car playing 1/2 but seems to know everything about Polks finances.

Anyone watching the recent streams of Polk? I’m no heads up specialist, but he doesn’t seem that solid to me. I might take a shot at him.

Unless you are a well known HU player, I am sure he would be glad to play you at $200/400.

Dnegs should win. I like his videos a lot better than Polk's. Polk talks so much about balancing your range and blockers. Are you overbluffing etc. Those issues are important in a HU high stakes match, but not that relevant to most peoples games.

i love the need to state

"my wife, my actual wife" like even he doesn't believe it's real either

maybe i just see and hear what i want to hear, but i can't watch a single vlog of his without seeing repressed/latent gay/bi bat signals flying all over the place

+1, Doug needs to have a non autist review his tweets before they get sent out, I've always liked him and prior interactions have been super friendly, but rarely do I see something he posts on twitter and not wonder out loud why he's trying to hard to remembered for nothing else than being a contentious douche

I am kidding. You guys take everything seriously. I know DP should crush Dnegs, and don't know what Dnegs is doing accepting the challenge. I don't agree with some posters implying Dnegs is a donk or something. I do think DP videos are over the top with issues about balance, blockers etc., which should only be worried about if you have a close decision.

I'm absolutely livid at this comment and I've no idea why because I've not actually read it yet.

Definitely go for it. take a shot at him. you've watched all the recent streams and you can clearly see from his play that he does not seem that solid.

Especially since your not a heads up specialist. hes only used to hu specialists. he wont know what your up to. go get em champ

As far as I can tell that's just his public personality. He always came off as a douche. Sometimes it's funny but it's always douchey lol.

Ive decided not to. I don’t want to take all his money then he can’t play DNegs and lose it to him.

Well in NLH (HU especially) a lot of your range will be ‘close’ at any decision point in the tree. So it is prob something you should worry about.

Also, Dnegs certainly is a cash game donk, always has been. See high stakes poker for references.

IMO DP's videos focus on issues like that before determining that it is a close situation. There are more obvious things you need to look before worrying about blockers etc., and you can make a wrong decision focusing on tie breaker issues when it isn't really a close decision otherwise.

i saw how Dnegs did on TV. I am not sure that makes him a cash game donk. Also, not sure if he is a mixed game or PLO cash game donk. However IMO he would be totally insane to go ahead with this.

idk. I don’t remember feeling that way watching DP’s videos but it’s been a long time.

And okay, you can check his online cash results from back in the day if you want more evidence. Big donk for sure.

Doug's videos are super fun and have a great sense of humor to them! He is a beast! Been a minute but I could go drag up all Doug's results, very impressive! He has kicked a ss over the years!
