As a former NFL fan, Seahawks fan, I still am reluctantly folowing a 49ers fan. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I like your format. Thank you for sharing.
I think your push on the turn in the AQcc hand is very good. The only suggestion I would make is check raising on the turn instead of open jamming. As you correctly note, villian's actions preflop represent a large pocket or two large cards. KK is a very likely hand as it is unblocked and you also have a worry about a chop with another AQ especially because his preflop reraise was a bit on the small side. This is a good jam spot as you have equity if you are called with Ace over card and club draw if you are up against Kings and jamming might get him to fold KK. If you run into Jacks you have the club draw. The only question is whether you think he might be bluffing, such as the skinny. That's something game and player dependent. You also don't mention stack size, only that you have them covered, so don't know fold equity, but if you think this is a player who might blast off with AK, 10s, or 23, then you could give him a chance to do so with a check on the turn and then check raise. That would show a ton of strength and you could easily balance that with a set or two pair. I think it's player specific on whether you think you'll get a check behind on turn if you attempt to check raise.
In a recent vlog you stated people running bad in life often times will run good in poker. Well I’m running the worst in life that I ever have right now (divorce, living in hotel etc) and I just had the BEST winning week of my life at the tables.. interesting
As a rec player, I recognize I play too tight. What are some recommendations for loosening up my play? I look for spots to bluff, but man....i always seem to choose the wrong spots, which causes me to return to tight play. I recognize I'm playing too tight but can't seem to find a way to adjust to fix that. I just play for fun, so I don't really study. What are some thibgs I can look at to get more comfortable loosening up my play?
Sounds like you need to work on the basics and fundamentals. Start off by studying range charts. Picking the right spots to bluff typically comes down to range vs range and having the right blockers, as well as your opponent’s table image, etc. Board and hand reading are also important when you consider the line (their precise sequence of betting and sizing and/or checking on each street) they take given their range of possible hands you are able to narrow it down to. This allows you to recognize really bad turns and rivers for the best made hand on the flop and blast off to get the bluff through. Knowing how and when to bluff on later streets though requires more skill and experience and the willingness to sometimes float or make wide calls on the flop with weak draws or backdoors from time to time if you feel like the cbettor/aggressor on the flop is betting a wide range of hand strengths. For instance, an aggressive player in the CO 3 bets your standard preflop open from MP. You only have AJ suited but you know they could be 3 betting wide with their position so you call. Then you flop 2 overs and a couple backdoor draws. Your opponent cbets small on the relatively draw heavy flop. You know top pair on the flop probably would have bet a little bigger to charge draws and 2 over card type hands so you just decide to float. Turn is a total brick and you check and they check back. River brings an offsuit K. At that point, one of the potential straight draws got there, the K is incredibly good for your range, you block AK and straight combos with your J kicker, so the optimal play is a lead on the river for like 75% pot to charge top and second pair on the flop if they want to hero call, which they probably can’t seeing is how their check back on the turn means they likely didn’t even have top pair on the flop.
@@BenDeach good to know I'll check them out on their website. I've always liked that about your channel. One of a few things that sets you apart from others. Thanks for all the time you put in to making these vlogs for our entertainment.
Damn Ben, sorry I haven't checked your content lately. Hope you're doing well. Keep up the good work dude. And a little disappointed at the lack of an action shot of you running the staircase in the BEST MIDSESSION UPDATE EVER!!
8:37 - 8:43 Those black aces look kinda marked to me. Definite bend in the middle at the smaller end of each card. You can see it more when they go into the muck at the top of the screen.
Nice Q&A. But I have a question as well. Have you ever been at a table and you get into a groove where you are predicting your opponents hands and always making the correct play? Happened to me recently and for about 40min. Every thing was perfect in my mind.
I have a Mike Postle Sighting as well: He is a Broncos fan and he commented on the Mile High Huddle Podcast and I was shocked that nobody called him out for being the card cheater he is; unless they didn’t know. I think they didn’t know... so I called him out and he wouldn’t respond. I saw him comment at the end of a show days later. I said tell me your not the poker cheater Mike Postle after he mentioned his young daughter. I can’t believe he is trying to play live under another name though.
I watch your vlogs and also hear the action can't be beat at The Peppermill. If/when I get a chance to visit Reno, is there a preferable time to come, like during a specific season, month, tournament series, or when? Are the cash games usually more juicy during a tournament series, like most places?
Ben, how is it the poker room with the best action, blind structure, management in Reno still employs those old broken down torturous chairs? I can only last a few hours before the discomfort becomes unbearable sending me to the parking lot prematurely
10:14 yes, you could raised. You MUST raised. See what happens. And if he did not get his draw up, you'd get paid zero anyway. So: calling flop is a lose-lose.
Dealer need to keep it professional and after a 5-10 second pause go let a player in the blinds who has mucked his hand by mistake to realise that mistake, then mucked the cards without saying a word. It's not the dealers job to help any player, but they do it all the time.
Why not mention your San Francisco 49ers in the mid session update. Just like a lot of my Niner friends this week, very quiet. Now your quarterback dilemma starts for the next decade.Lol
I don’t quite understand the logic in AQcc hand. You think that you can get better to fold and worse to call? Or are you just bluffing with equity against overpairs?
True about poker pros but when someone who only plays 1-3 with a 6+2 drop and 100 dollar tournies tells me they are a pro I tend to think they are full of it… right??
Really enjoy your narration, Ben 👍🏾👍🏿👍 Thanks for posting.
Ben, on the ace queen hand with the nut flush, the play is what you did. All in.
Hi Ben. I am a regular at the Peppermill poker room and take breaks to walk the stairs also. Good for you. Stay healthy.
I like the Q&A at the end. I’ve always smiled and nodded “sure” at someone when they either claim “I play poker for a living” or “I’m a pro”.
It’s a great way to make people think you are a fish
Usually it's some guy that just had a big session- hell I feel like a pro when I walk out with a pocket full of other people's money

Love your humor. Was st the Peppermill 3 weeks ago for the first time. Had a blast, loved the poker room.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"If I was Mike Postle I would have let him bet" LOL
Only if your looking down at your dock…I mean phone. You have the feeling he’ll end up dead somewhere?
“Shows the skinny” lmfao that had me dying. Been there in the same spot as you before sucks but live and learn is all you can do
Congratulations on the upcoming milestone 🎉#200 is a solid achievement sir!
Good fold with the A10. No wonder you have such an air of certitude
Great content as usual.

That’s a great fold
That was a great video thanks.....

Hate, hate, hate those spiked gut shots. J. Little says to just shrug and let it go. Dang they still bother me!
You should bring back the small features you had about little known places in Nevada.
I’m still going them. I was just told not to post them on here. If you go to kolotv.com and search silver state sights you’ll see all the new ones

Just joined. You had me at your update on the stairs.
Liked without watching yet
This is an excellent poker vlog. Your commentary during the action is very insightful and informative. Thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it!

Enjoy your vlogs. You are very good at it. You and the giraffe are my favorite poker vloggers

you must go pro.
I'd check quad fives

My question of the week is: What are your river bluff raises on 36252?
Great vlog! Now I have to go get some sushi from my private chef and share a few bites with my tiger.
You should!
what is that rock in the pot?
I watch your vlogs and also hear the action can't be beat at The Peppermill. If/when I get a chance to visit Reno, is there a preferable time to come, like during a specific season, month, tournament series, or when? Are the cash games usually more juicy during a tournament series, like most places?
Best time to come is probably November. Cheaper room rates. oddly the action doesn’t change much with a series going on.
Ben, how is it the poker room with the best action, blind structure, management in Reno still employs those old broken down torturous chairs? I can only last a few hours before the discomfort becomes unbearable sending me to the parking lot prematurely
Hopefully they won’t be around too much longer!
Dealer said the new chairs have been ordered. Please advise when they arrive as I won’t be back till they’re
Definitely the most informative detailed midsession update 🤣🤣
10:14 yes, you could raised. You MUST raised. See what happens. And if he did not get his draw up, you'd get paid zero anyway. So: calling flop is a lose-lose.
I take back my subscription.... You're a 49er's fan. Lol
Great vlog as always
You run so good this day
Great comment at the end
Lesson to self. Take a big win early because blow back is a real thing.
Dealer need to keep it professional and after a 5-10 second pause go let a player in the blinds who has mucked his hand by mistake to realise that mistake, then mucked the cards without saying a word. It's not the dealers job to help any player, but they do it all the time.
Am I the only guy that enjoys the mid session updates?
You are not
Yes, and someone slow rolled Postle and said that's for all the cheating 😅
Your mid session updates are so unusual and funny
Mr. Deach someone is using your vlog to Send out something about winning a prize and to dm you on Tele gram.
Why not mention your San Francisco 49ers in the mid session update. Just like a lot of my Niner friends this week, very quiet. Now your quarterback dilemma starts for the next decade.Lol
Always looks forward to Mondays for the Mr. Deach!

Hate That! Guy try’s mucking and dealer pushes back his cards. That’s total BS
