There’s been lots of comments/questions about the rake. Here’s the structure: For lower games it was $10 cap, $1 for every $10 up to $50 pot then nothing until pot was at $100 then the other $5 pulled. High end games ($5/$5 and up) it was $7 every 1/2 hour.
Love how you snuck in all those “living on a prayer” references. Informative, creative, hilarious, and clever. Always a pleasure watching your videos 😂😂😂
Hi Brad. That was one of your best videos yet. You went the extra mile on this one with the information on your decision. I learn a lot from watching your videos, but today was like a Masterclass. So much information on what you think the opponent has and what made you make the decision. Great vid!
Keep up the good work Brad. It’s been awesome watching your vlogs. Seeing all of your sessions, even the losing ones, is encouraging. It keeps me coming back to your channel
I really love how you analyze hands and appreciate you sharing that insight with us. The "meta game" is still a big part of live poker. Yes, understanding GTO or the math is important too, but I still think it's the meta that wins most pots.
This is really cool to see one of the dealers from my local poker room (Mad River in Dayton, OH) on your vlog! He is shown at the 37dd hand from Maserati at the 6:00 mark.
Dang I was just here a few weeks ago. There was no poker. Only casino games. Richard Branson was on the ship when I went with my lady.. now seeing you here .. this ship is amazing. I'd trade Branson to play with Brad Owen any day
Damn, I had just gotten off the Scarlet Lady about a week ago!! A little peeved I missed a chance at some Bradley Dollars. Hope you enjoy it man, sailing with Virgin is unreal 😍
I will concur that you time with the monkeys was the happiest you have been shown on the Vlog. I feel I as well would reach a height of happiness in that situation.
I believe I was on the Scarlet Lady a week or two before you were. Everything you said about the staff, crew, ship, accommodations is 100 percent accurate. One of the best cruises I've ever had.
i think what we enjoy most as your fans is the humour, keep the content coming and more jokes are always welcome! 5 stars amigo as always, hope to meet you soon. and the cat. who rhymes. and crushes poker
That is the happiest you've ever been on the vlog. I've never seen you smile that big as you were hanging out with the monkeys. Do you need to talk about your feelings Brad hahaha
Brad, big fan. Question, the hand 8 min in, you named a multitude of hands he could have and explained how thin value would be. What made you bet anyway?
Hey Brad, curious about the guitars I see in every vlog. I am a player/collector as well - any other axes you have off camera?? Keep up the solid material, take care!
Oooo Brad some real Bad Medicine there with the Queens. Thought you would be winning that Always. Suppose things can get Slippery When Wet playing on a boat! Haha, yeah I caught the Bon Jovi references!
Gosh it’s just so cool to see you living the dream, man. I’m just proud of you and I can’t wait to play against you someday so you can get some of my Ethan dollars 😂
I hope on a poker focused cruise ship that the rake is reasonable? I went on Royal earlier this year and it was an insane 10% of the pot up to $15. That is hard to beat.
I don't recall the specifics of the rake but I remember hearing that everyone was impressed with how low it was comparatively. It certainly wasn't 10% up to $15: anything like that is the cruise ship trying to screw people over. This was WPT's thing, which happened to be onboard the Virgin Voyage so it was set up much better for the players.
When you had the 8 9 clubs flush, why did you lose? I watched it about 5 times. I dont understand. It was at 13:50. Why did you seem to win and then lost? Please help me out here.
@mattvoda1767 & @viperbananas. Thanks for that, I can be real dumb sometimes. It must be my eyesight. 😉 Have a wonderful day, both of you. You made my night.
At 15:41 I wonder whether a bet of $240 would have been more likely to get a call than an all in? (basically the same bet but sounds less relative to the pot in the moment). Obvs not if he was on a flush draw but with a small pocket pair? Maybe
Question - please be honest “. When you are calculating between hands on here - Are you calculating as fast in your mind when playing live. Or are most of these faster thoughts once you look back @the tape
Best night I ever had was on a boat out of FL. Played 4 hours of PL hold'em and left up $1200. Loads of fun but some angry opponents. High-tailed it back to my car when we got back to port and got out of there.
Woooo! Last hand was a Victory! KQcc playing that so passive…that’s a W bro! Saw VlogFathers previous video as well in the Rock Star suite…are those serious upgraded suites or is that the deal w Virgin?? For a cruise…suites look amazing!

You’re the reason I wake up everyday Brad, come to Chicago
@@bartholomewrhaphel9675 that is sad

Brad going full Bon Jovi 😉
@@bartholomewrhaphel9675 💀
That intro leading up to the 0:31 mark is a first year inductee into the Brad Owen Poker Vlog Hall of Fame
Came here to ensure proper respect for that intro. The Bradley Dollar shirt reveal was absolute gold 🤣
@@williambreaker7916 We had to do the video shoot in a couple of takes because he didnt get it correctly the first few times.
The fact you pointed out the flush when the whole table didnt see is just a true show of character. G move. Sick cruise ship too!
Love how you snuck in all those “living on a prayer” references. Informative, creative, hilarious, and clever. Always a pleasure watching your videos 😂😂😂
Haha glad someone picked that up
@@BradOwenPoker well, you can take a hand, and you'll make it I swear...
We're unstuck and currently profiting tens of dollars 😂😂 love it! Great content as always Brad
saw this in the vid, was gonna comment about it then saw ur comment haha
Wow that’s when you know you’ve made it Brad. Your father will be so proud of you. All the best. Jamie 👍🏻
“As he gets a boat…. On a boat” 😂 love u brad
14:30 The Living on a prayer pot was incredibly funny 😂😂. It started subtle at first but didn't end as such 💀.
I just commented on this. Good catch!
"Straight" to the Poker Hall of Fame with you Brad Owen! Your Vlogs are legendary. Keep being humble, though, it "suits" you.
Hi Brad. That was one of your best videos yet. You went the extra mile on this one with the information on your decision. I learn a lot from watching your videos, but today was like a Masterclass. So much information on what you think the opponent has and what made you make the decision. Great vid!
Thanks Rory, that means a lot to me when people appreciate things like that.
Keep up the good work Brad. It’s been awesome watching your vlogs. Seeing all of your sessions, even the losing ones, is encouraging. It keeps me coming back to your channel
Saw the notification and 10 seconds later, here I am.
Not sure what took you so long
You should probably find a job
That's 9 seconds to many bro
@@dcul8812 Yup got one, I start at 06h00. I am all good, thank you for your concern.
Brightened my day to see a new vlog!
I really love how you analyze hands and appreciate you sharing that insight with us. The "meta game" is still a big part of live poker. Yes, understanding GTO or the math is important too, but I still think it's the meta that wins most pots.
The subtle Bon Jovi reference at 14:40 is why I keep coming back. My kind of sense of humour.
This is so much better than what poker normally is on a cruise ship! Hope you had a great time.
Any time Brad posts, you know it’s gonna be a good one. Keep crushing Bradley
That giraffe gift was awesome
This is really cool to see one of the dealers from my local poker room (Mad River in Dayton, OH) on your vlog! He is shown at the 37dd hand from Maserati at the 6:00 mark.
You know it's going to be a great Monday when .................... Brad Own uploads a new video !
Dang I was just here a few weeks ago. There was no poker. Only casino games. Richard Branson was on the ship when I went with my lady.. now seeing you here .. this ship is amazing. I'd trade Branson to play with Brad Owen any day
Genuinely watching brad has improved my game 10 fold God bless
Love the videos man! Best part of my day when a video drops. I usually just stop whatever I’m doing and binge the whole thing!!
Mad River Poker Club representing!
🦒
That intro and timing with music and the t shirt “Bradley Dollars” I literally LMAO’d!
Damn, I had just gotten off the Scarlet Lady about a week ago!! A little peeved I missed a chance at some Bradley Dollars. Hope you enjoy it man, sailing with Virgin is unreal 😍
Yeah, that was by far the best cruise experience I've had. Sounds like you enjoyed it as well.
Makes a boat.. on a boat.. favorite line so far.
So now brad is floating more bradly dollars his way 😆💯
Rumour has it Brad is a legend of the game 🥳❤️

At 19:42 with the hot blonde in blue, the black dude on the left is like 'mmmhmmm I see what you filmin' Owen boyy' 😂😂
I don’t know what I smiled at more, all the Bon Jovi references or Brad saying the phrase “Riff Raff” wrong 😆
Thanks for the Gilligan's Island reference, from a fan of you and the classic show.
Cruise poker, I didn't even know I had that! Hahahaha
Love how you kept sneaking in Bon Jovi lyrics. Brilliant. :)
Thank you 👍🏼
Nothing like a new video to watch, hugs from Brazil Brad
whenever you do what I think would be the best play in that position I feel like a genius
Good to see Brad smile
Sick Bon Jovi reference at @14:35
I watched that intro 10 times. That is legendary!
Glad you had a great trip Brad
10:48 "I didn't realise I had the flush!" reminded me of Phylis in the office.. All the clovers..
“Makes boat… on a boat”😂😂😂 13:39
That is the happiest you've ever been on the vlog. I've never seen you smile that big as you were hanging out with the monkeys. Do you need to talk about your feelings Brad hahaha
Love the content but I love the presentation and song lyrics more!!! I always smile when I recognize what you are doing. Thanks!!
Were going roughly 17 ways on the flop…I’m dead😂🤣😅😂😂🤣😅
I’m here for the Bon Jovi references! 🙋🏻♂️
This opening.. my god! So good Bradley!
"He makes a boat...on a boat." legit LOL.
Brad, big fan. Question, the hand 8 min in, you named a multitude of hands he could have and explained how thin value would be. What made you bet anyway?
making a boat on a boat is craaaazzzzy lmao
Dig. “The Griffin” tshirt in the outro...nice low key shout out
That’s bad ass how you started this video and that shirt was dope !!
Happy Monday everyone! We're in for a good one as always!
Another fun video, thank you Brad.
Great one Brad!
I love that I started singing as soon as You said the first reference to Livin' On A Prayer
The iconic Jiggities are still running hot as ever!!
Fun episode! Also, especially fun with Bon Jovi lyrics references.
I know that dealer his name is David he’s from my hometown Dayton Ohio and deals at my local club Mad River Poker Club..
Looks like fun. I'll be on a cruise this Saturday!
That looks so fun. I love your commentary
Stay till the end or you’ll miss the best part of this episode! Still the Best Poker Channel on RUclips!

Living the dream Brad, keep the videos coming, job well done.
Thanks Romka
Gosh it’s just so cool to see you living the dream, man. I’m just proud of you and I can’t wait to play against you someday so you can get some of my Ethan dollars 😂
Thank you Ethan, come to a meet up game at some point
10 seconds in and we are allready seeing brads brilliance "lots of reasons" yeah I see what you did there!
I just subscribed, where do I go to get updates on the next meet-up game? this would have been so much fun
Dealer on the second table had the best pair of the day😂😂
Brad you need a deck with your moniker in the place of king, queen and jacks. You could use them as perks for your fans.
14:35 I hear that the cutoff used to work at the docks.
Union or non-union pay?
@@nocakeforsusan8701 Union's been on strike, he was down on his luck.
I see, you met some of the best dealers in the business. David, from Mad River in Dayton Ohio, is the best.
Just got my biggest score yesterday at the palm beach kennel club 😬 hope your well brad!
BRAD! I got the permission slip signed for Vegas March15-19th. Any meet up games planned!?!
I hope on a poker focused cruise ship that the rake is reasonable? I went on Royal earlier this year and it was an insane 10% of the pot up to $15. That is hard to beat.

Cool video Brad, thanks for the always entertaining us. Hope you are using the guitar pick made out of the coin. Brandon.
I think Brad should have some "I'm just here for the Bradley Dollars" merch. It would be nicely ironic.
When will you have another cruise like this??
16:31 definitely said Riff Raft, homie! Lol
I heard the music! I mean not while I was watching the vlog but after when I went to check to see if there really was music. :)
Hi Brad, I'm flying into Vegas at the end of January from the UK. Do you have any meet up games planned? It's 31st January to 7th February.
How was the cruise? My wife has been wanting to go and image suggested virgin cruises.
When you had the 8 9 clubs flush, why did you lose? I watched it about 5 times. I dont understand. It was at 13:50. Why did you seem to win and then lost? Please help me out here.
V has full house on river
Opponent has 55KKK full house, beats a Flush
@mattvoda1767 & @viperbananas. Thanks for that, I can be real dumb sometimes. It must be my eyesight. 😉 Have a wonderful day, both of you. You made my night.
Those double paired boards are dynamic!
At 15:41 I wonder whether a bet of $240 would have been more likely to get a call than an all in? (basically the same bet but sounds less relative to the pot in the moment). Obvs not if he was on a flush draw but with a small pocket pair? Maybe
Love all these frequent videos!
How hilarious is the Bon Jovi references 😂😂
Question - please be honest “.
When you are calculating between hands on here -
Are you calculating as fast in your mind when playing live.
Or are most of these faster thoughts once you look back @the tape
Cruise ships are awesome! We play on them all the time. Table odds are solid. Lots of $ to be had!
I've always wondered what it'd be like if Brad was on a boat and in Lonely Island
Very cool! Love the clip of you with all of the monkeys 🙉
14:35 count the Bon Jovi references 😂
Best night I ever had was on a boat out of FL. Played 4 hours of PL hold'em and left up $1200. Loads of fun but some angry opponents. High-tailed it back to my car when we got back to port and got out of there.
Just here for the Bon Jovi references
Woooo! Last hand was a Victory! KQcc playing that so passive…that’s a W bro! Saw VlogFathers previous video as well in the Rock Star suite…are those serious upgraded suites or is that the deal w Virgin?? For a cruise…suites look amazing!
Come to Shreveport/Bossier City Louisiana their casinos are on a boat too (they don't move though lol) they have Ballys and Horseshoe Casino's
Best Set On The Boat @ 19:42 Just Wow Nice Hand
Having a boat on a boat must be hilarius.
