A few hours ago, the World Championship of Online Poker on PokerStars saw Douglas ‘WCG|Rider’ Polk set a new record for the biggest-ever win while streaming poker on Twitch.TV!

Back in April this year Doug “WCGRider” Polk won $163,000 while streaming his game live on Twitch. At the time, this was the biggest score ever streamed live on Twitch.Tv. In July a Russian low stakes player won a random €250,000 spin and go tourney while streaming, breaking that record. And WCGRider managed to snag the title back after the $455,000 ship for his 2nd place finish in WCOOP event number 53 $10,300 NLHE 8-Max High Roller.

This was a second place finish - WCG lost a coinflip while heads-up with AK again his opponent’s QQ, leaving him short-stacked. Soon after he shoved with 55 only to come up against another QQ. Winner, player "Grindation" made $586,000.

I did watch the complete 2nd day of the Event on WCGRider Stream.

I was kinda surprised tbh.
I havent been into poker in years.
But i guess i had a completely wrong impression of how the pros play back then.

WCG|Rider is considerd one of the best professional players in poker nowadays
This was the most disciplined , most boring , most standard/mathematical abc value poker i have ever seen.



Except maybe 3-4 good soulreads postflop within 8 hours the rest of his game was pure textbook disciplined abc poker without any deviation ever.
I was kinda shocked that he didnt even have a polarized preflop range but simply played down a NL25 FR PF chart from 2010 that was purely made of Position+Hand value.
Not one single deviation from it ever.

You would think that such a playstyle is highly exploitable.
As it seems it isnt

U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)

^ he changed it up when he was big stack at end of day1 (100bb). He quickly lost his stack day 2, and really impossible to "change it up" playing 50bb deep and less MTT poker

It takes a trained eye to see his non abc plays. His postflop play is insane. I saw a lot of floating, and bluff catching. He made a few bluffs with air too. Good poker is just being the most balanced in every situation, picking your spots, and yet still exercising extreme discipline.

The so called abc players do not play like doug and often fold in spots where doug doesn't and never bluff or overbet in spots where he would.

In Day 2 this was SB vs BB only

He simply shoved when he had a better hand than average BB and due to stacksizes and position postflopplay was not an option.
Dont see how this is anything spectacular

But well i stopped playing Poker long time ago and was never any good
maybe i am missing something
