Doug Polk Analyzes Semi-Final Matches of the AI Poker Challenge.

Following on his earlier video, Polk is back analyzing more AI-on-AI poker violence as the remaining four LLMs clash for the spot in the final round.

While proper AI poker may be somewhat boring to watch and lacking crazy moves, this is the total opposite. Doug is doing a fine job keeping a straight face while doing the “analysis,” but it’s just an uphill battle when you realize that our heroes have difficulties reading their hole cards and/or the board, and don’t seem to know all the rules of Texas Hold’em.

All Eyes on the WSOP 2026 Summer Schedule.

February is here, which means it’s almost that time — WSOP officials are getting ready to reveal the full schedule for the Las Vegas summer series.

Players have been patiently waiting, and all signs point to the schedule being just days away from dropping. The big question: will we see 100+ bracelet events again, or does the number come down this year?

We’ll find out soon. Stay tuned.

A New Kind of Bad Beat Jackpot on Global Poker.

Global Poker just launched a new Bad Beat Jackpot promo and it’s not the usual setup.

Instead of losing with a monster hand, it’s based on all-in equity. If you get it in as a 70%+ favorite in a ring game and still lose, that bad beat earns you leaderboard points. The higher your equity when you lose, the better your chances.

All your bad beats stack across the month, and players share at least SC 100,000 every month.

Latest promo from Clubs Poker has landed.

Clubs Poker just announced what it calls a 'real treat’ for new players: a 300 percent boost in Sweeps Coins and 30 free spins when you buy at least $10 in Gold Coins. The offer is straightforward. Once you make your purchase, you get 30 SC and can use them at the poker tables or in the casino.

'If you create a new Clubs Poker account and purchase at least $10 worth of Gold Coins (GC), you will receive 30 SC and 30 free spins for the casino.’

PokerStars is kicking off the 2026 poker season with the SCOOP Warm Up, running from February 1 to February 16.

The series boasts 69 tournaments covering a wide range of buy-ins, from $2.20 all the way to $5,300. The series is designed to get players ready for the main SCOOP festival coming in March.

'The SCOOP Warm Up is your opportunity to start your SCOOP grind early and enter spring in full tournament grind mode.’

Melbourne is experiencing a poker renaissance.

The new PlayLive poker room, launched by a crew of recognizable poker pros and a couple of local entrepreneurs, is now the go-to spot for the game in the city.

The Melbourne Millions tournament series has been outperforming expectations, with prize pools regularly smashing their guarantees.

Next up 'down under’ will be the Aussie Millions which returns this year after a prolonged hiatus.

I’m not watching this one, but doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

'The Hilarious Truth About AI And Poker’ from Doug Polk takes a deep dive into what happens when you let language models like GPT-5.2, Gemini 3, and Claude loose at the poker table.

Partnering with Kaggle, Polk runs 900,000 hands of heads-up no limit to see if AI can actually play something resembling GTO, or if it just throws money away with style.

Watch to find out the results.

Upswing Poker is looking for a new coach to add to their roster.

A recent post from the popular poker training site announced they were on the lookout for a new coach to join their team. In addition to being a good at poker (which pretty much goes without saying), the candidate needs to be in a ClubWPT Gold-friendly state. Upswing Poker was recently acquired by ClubWPT Gold, and it seems like the new coach will also act as an ambassador, with the aim of strengthening the ties between the two sites.
