Doug is a know high level player, respected from the community, with a lot to give and with story's to tell, joeingram1 have some nice podcast but he seems like some kind of a con man.
I've put out a thousand hours of poker content and haven't asked people for anything I am not a very GTO con man.

Predicting Chicago Joey's fall from grace to be swift and destructive.

Just like the US and A's.

Relax jimbo, Joey can obviously handle himself.

Besides, everybody knows he's a fixture in the poker community and that he's rightfully earned his spot there.

I do quietly wonder however, if Doug would get annoyed with Joey during those couple of shows they did together?

Feckless beta and SJW-corrupted Europe will fall long before the good ole US of A under the leadership of an America-loving Alpha. Book it.

Also, the disparagement of Joey is unfounded and says more about the character and lack thereof of those making such comments than him.

Come on Doug, you've got a brain...

65k * 7 = more views than 4 vids a week/per 7 days at 100k

Go ahead with your A B tests but seems like you should be doing it with other factors.

Perhaps he's more interested in views/vid then total views/week. Or perhaps he's not as smart as you.

It's not just about cumulative views. A 100k video is not equal to two 50k videos, it's far more valuable. The latter is mostly seen by subscribers and established fans, whereas the former attracted many new people.

So, maybe I'm one of those casual viewers that Doug talks about, but I'm hoping maybe somebody here can help me.
When Doug talks about betting (let's say on the river) he talks about needing to have a certain amount of bluffs and a certain amount of value hands. In essence, if you have too many / only value hands, the villain can always fold profitably and vice versa. In essence, it sounds like the idea of balancing your range.

But, how does a villain make a mistake if you're balanced? In other words, if you balance perfectly, couldn't a villain just flip a coin and make a decision based on the result?

Asked another way, doesn't being unexploitable mean that you can't exploit someone else?

Appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me understand better. Thanks

EveN OTB does not play GTO, there are more hand combinatorics if your talking about preflop than there are particles in the universe, It's an Idea and a good one but it's not and never wilil be 100%

Humans consider themselves unique so they've rooted there whole theory of existence on their uniqueness. One is their unit of measure, but it's not. All social systems we've put into place are a mere sketch. One plus one equals two. That's all we've learned, but one plus one has never equaled two. There are, in fact, no numbers and no letters. We've codified our existence to bring it down to human size to make it comprehensible. We've created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale.

GTO Can't happen with our current way of VIEIWinig MATh 1+1 has Never equaled 2. . .

You start with A B and work in C D E F G later Scientist GTO.

You're talking about a state of equilibrium. I'm skeptical that it can be achieved in poker, and in any case, we aren't near it yet.

In poker, your balanced ranges are constantly adjusting to different villains. Your ranges should even adjust for the same villain when you think he/she is changing up their strategy against you.

"Flipping a coin" is exactly the point of balancing your ranges... you want opponents to be clueless as to what you're doing and have them guessing. Balancing your ranges does that.

You want to soul read your opponent's actions, and you want him clueless on your actions.

two things:

1) no! speaking as a PLO player, we don't need the player pool getting smarter.

2) ummm... Doug can confirm, but I'm not sure he considers himself a top expert at PLO?

3) Doug, in support of my point #1 above, PLO is NOT going to gain a large demographic for you. :-)

Thankfully we have Joey giving grade C advise on the subject as he's continuing to imitate everything Doug does.
