Thes right the wonder boy has done it again. Just after winning the Super High Roller on PartyPokers Powerfest he comes up with this huge score once again. Anyone who maucks this gentlemen for his previous downswings would relish the opportunities Doug has. Keep grindding Doug!
Only unfortunate part was him having 43% of his action sold.
He is certainly a wonderful player and how I see in him a series of choir's games .... in this case, one should not stop and the luck should be on his side ... probably soon I will see a new message about his new victory .... he has a clear A series of good luck and the main thing is not to miss it

Of course i know and have read about selling action, but i never expected that it can go that high. 43%, i wouldnt even bet for half of it. It looks like there is another side of the game going on there that i had no clue about it. You pick a"horse" and crossing your fingers

Yeah if you look at his PS stats i believe he's way down and that's why he's had to sell so much action. I saw an interview not too long ago. I'll post if I can remember or find.

Since you are saying that he was having a really bad time so far, wasnt risk to buy action from this player? I mean i wouldnt do this, if i was into that kind of game, but would you? Logically you are looking for a player which has done a good run recently.

Posted by TheIrish77: He won The PartyPokerHigh Roller a few weeks ago as well so He's not struggling but he's has debts and sells action.
he doesnt have debts... he said in his video few weeks ago, actualy he said ppl owe him money... I followed one drop on pokernews since I refuse to pay 10$ on pokergo to watch. Doug had huge swings all the time at final table, he even open 4 hands in row and all losted... I was cheering for him, and I am glad that he won it

thats exactly it, a lot of pros have money invested in other people in the same tournament to cover all bases, but then there are business/gamblers/etc that dont play but purely invest in a player or players practically like horse racing. many sites now host such services

Many congratulations to Doug Polk on winning this mega event. I often watch this guy's YouTube channel and have always enjoyed the way he analyses the game and his insight can be very helpful indeed

@robbo I couldnt find it on youtube. Are you sure there was live stream on youtube? That make no sense at all... why would they charge 10$ if they put it on youtube?
