Great work as always with the video.

With regards to future of rake in online poker I think the invention of Bitcoin as internet currency will really help diminish rake in future years. Seen a lot of growth in bitcoin in internet poker community last 12 months (Especially US sites). I could certianly envision high stakes heads up matches played on low rake bitcoin sites within a couple years.

Doug much respect for giving it your all in your challenge. It's awesome, and honestly courageous to put yourself out there like this and money (two dollars) where your mouth is (Ahem Daniel negreanu) I have to say it's been pretty shocking to me. I am assuming your game isn't calibrated for your opponents who are waaaaay unbalanced. I think this is proof you are the closest to GTO of anyone because GTO is not supposed to win just not be beat. I think you could play 300k hands of breakeven poker with your current strat OTB prolly would have the same result.

I honestly don't know what to think about micros now..... I know they aren't good players. It's just really really surprising a world class strat would have these results. (Yes sample size yes variance .... Still).

I have no doubt you'll turn it around though! GL GL

This isn't how GTO is applied by people like Doug and OTB or in poker in general.

Great episode. Loved the different styles. RIP Bovada

Why don't you have a shirt that says "Does a straight beat a flush?"

True story Doug:

Just as I launch the show on our TV, my wife walks in and says "how can you take anything that guy says seriously with that haircut?" and then, BOOM! and we both scream.

Legit LOLz at my house. Thanks.

It was a very funny, original take on the "hi [insert name]" meme, whereby a poster is purported to have been shown to be a shill account of a public figure by virtue of having posted something that loosely resembles the public figure's mode of thinking.

In this case he was equating Dwan's ludicrous notion that he could "beat GTO" to your equally misinformed idea that "GTO isn't designed to win, just not be beat" and that short-term losing is in itself prima facie evidence of a GTO strategy having been achieved.

Clearly the original post went over your head that's where the humor is

Funny side note to Doug's last twitch stream seeing David Sklansky still grinding in the freeroll streets, I guess he's working on his latest book how to beat online freeroll's (step 1 open jam 20bb in EP, )




His WSOP nick is legum
