He's restarting the challenge tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

restarting as in starting again from $50 (massive lol if thats the case) or just resuming from where he was at?

Hmm I wonder to whom Charlie could possibly be referring at 06:34.

Whole video is about him flexing his explo skillz because he needlessly lost a street's worth of money for not sticking to good fundamentals. Pretty funny.

So he thinks he's nailed down his value range to a medium queen, calls turn with a guy behind because I don't even know and then proceeds to fold river?

This is why self proclaimed "exploit" players are laughable. Their strategy doesn't even have internal logical consistency from street to street. If his read is so good that he's justifying that terrible turn call then why isn't he raising river? Calling a terrible hand praying it somehow shows down as a winner is what noobs at 2NL do.

He pretty clearly explained that he called turn because kevin could be betting a naked A or other draws that he is ahead of. He narrowed down his range to a medium queen after Kevin's sizing on the river. Think your being hypercritical, the hand was WP other than a loose open PF, dont see the turn call being terrible. If board runs out another diamond or 4 to a straight and kevin checks, Charlie can bluff river...

He goes on a long rant about how you shouldn't play GTO against fish. Who would have thought?

Some shrooms addict maybe?

Doug Polk.

ok

Impressive first post after 4.5 years

lol! awesome post haha

Is the point of that video o show what an amazing fold he made? if so then lol, if its just entertaining video to watch with no special meaning to it then i am ok with it.

the funny thing is that he says "oh, I'm explo people like crazy, explo this, **** gto", then he was bluffing one guy and the guy went into the tank and he said "oh, I have a lot of TP here, lots of value, yeah" haha

For the record, hart has a most obvious and consistent tell that Charlie could play atc and exploit... If Kevin reads this, pm me and I'll tell u what it is for $100k.

should have made it 5k'you'd probably have it in your stars account by now, as it stands at 100k everyone will just search for this tell and beat you down with price. you too greedy sir.

His fukk gto schtick is so stupid, especially all his examples of his play being "superior", like when he said gto has to call a bunch on river with 85ss... lmao

It's bizarre cause it seems like GTO guys aren't against exploitative play, they just think that as you play at higher and higher levels you have fewer opportunities to exploit your opponent.

Doug's challenge was about proving that GTO can be effective even at the micros, but was honest about saying it wouldn't win as much as an exploitative approach would if you were good at it. Even in his coaching he advocates for exploiting opponents when you have the opportunity to do so.

Being so anti-GTO seems completely childish as if you feel under attack by GTO players saying if you have an exploitative approach you also open yourself up to exploitation.

Is Charlie mid prop bet with Prahlad at the moment over who can post the most polls on Twitter? His feed reads like a 1980s graphic adventure.

I'm pretty sure Charlie has ASD, his talent has given him fame beyond belief enabling him to ask questions or poll things without the social stigma that you would normally get from real life friends and family, and with high response rates. Looking at the context of what he is asking, most of it is to do with that charity he has started.

I find his videos entertaining, but I also think this f*** GTO thing very misleading. And I recall he recently made a video explaining how his crazy exploitative moves at the micros are only a small part of his play and the videos are heavily edited and how beginners shouldn´t be trying to emulate him and that poker requires lots and lots of talent and so on.

People in general, even beginners, would be better served (imho) by having a strong theory foundation and then putting hours and hours of proper practice. And then, only after all of this, try to figure out ways to deviate and exploit ppl mistakes. Doing this they would develop strong pattern recognition skills over time. Just my 2 cents obv, the guy seems to crush, and I´m still stuck in 5nl and 10 nl.

Have not been on here in ages but gave it a look for entertainment. This was a top thread so took a peak. Remember your name and saw people taking shots at you. I sort of remember this back and forth between Doug and Charlie. Not sure the results and never been a blow hard of anyone, including you, but not sure why you have to defend yourself on this issue. I believe you worked with Doug then and perhaps and I'm sure you had a good friendship. What is wrong with someone sticking up for their friend? Maybe forgot how petty NVG could be. A friend and colleague sticking up for someone he believes in. Chill out everyone. Cheers SrslySirius. Keep up the good work.

Maybe it has something to do with them both continually antagonizing their peers, especially when often times they are stretching the "truth"? Then when any shots are fired at Doug Srsly comes to his rescue like he is a damsel in distress.
