@@tinaminowski1014 Nah, he makes more money from casinos hosting meet-ups and getting a small transaction of each player that shows buys in for free because of it + youtube money, sponsors advertisement etc. He prob made 500k-1mil in 2021 or more, way more then he did playing poker. doesn't matter though people enjoy his content even though I wouldn't consider him a poker player I'd consider him an affiliate.
Love reading the comments almost as much as I do watching the vlog. So great to see you interact with so many of your followers. We've never had an interaction, but I feel like I could walk up to you at any event and you'd make time even to just say hello. Your humbleness and gratitude for your fans really makes you one of the best personalities on RUclips that I can think of. Super happy for your success at the tables, and I look forward to what you have in store for us. When you win, we all win
I gotta say that discovering your channel has been one of the highlights of the year for me ( might sound kinda sad but it is what it is) Hope you're having great holidays Brad, and i wish you the best going forward!
i just like how down to earth and real brad has been throughout his whole journey. One of my top 5 poker idols for sure. hope to see you on the tables one day.
I really appreciate the time stamp in the upper right! It makes it easier to understand how often you play a hand and gives rookies like me a more realistic feel of the game.
Brad, I have been watching your blog for almost a year now and I love them. I noticed the Healdsburg Tribune on the wall behind you and had to leave a comment. I lived in that area (Santa Rosa, Guerneville and Sebastopol) for few years and loved it. Hoping to see you continue to run good until December 31 and bust $70,000, good luck.
Thanks Randy. Yeah I grew up in Santa Rosa and that's where my parents are still living. I actually just drove back to LV from there today. If you zoom in on that newspaper, there's a picture of me with two other guys. We all won a satellite into the WSOP Main Event in 2010 from River Rock, back when it still had a poker room.
I notice a lot of dealers knocking down stacks and pushing the 'pile' towards you. I'm not sure if it looks bigger because it takes up more felt shoving the pile towards you or maybe moving stacks and keeping them intact is difficult.
Wow. Started watching you in the beginning and haven’t been on RUclips really in awhile and now you’re over 500k subs and playing big stakes?? Congrats Brad!
Thanks Jonathan. The high stakes sessions are always some of my favorites to play and make videos out of. Be sure to check them out if you get the chance.
Brad! My girl and I enjoy your vlogs and its so cool you got a snippet of the 2 of us at 0:43. We'll be at the Austin meet up game and hope to meet you!
3:45 is an incredible example of why limping is (almost) always not a good play. If somebody raised even 15 brad in the BB would have folded instantly and had no chance to make a boat with 9 5
Hey Brad! Happy Holidays. A few vlogs ago you showed your friend's bar in Larkfield. I recognized the banner immediately. I stop in for breakfast at Norm's in the back corner occasionally. Popped my head into the bar one day to look around. Nice place and the girl said they serve breakfast too. Congrats on your year. Keep up the good work.
It's so funny when I pull up your video Brad, I automatically like it.....then I go to like it after the video but the deed is already done. Thank you for your amazing content!
I can never get enough of your videos! I’m a college student with not enough money to play at a casino, so I have to live my poker life through you. It’s awesome watching
I feel your pain. I was in the same situation a few years ago (I’m 29), so I got a table and some chips and started a weekly or twice weekly game. I’d invite people over, byob, and that was like my job for a couple years. Think about it. Downside is hosting can be complicated/cumbersome, but for me it was worth it
@@ramsayburch6738 I play with my friends every now and again to have fun, we just do dealers choice for games, with a $5 buy-in, and 20 cent ante for every game we play. We play for fun, not really increasing bet size, or having the mindset of “I want to punish hard” It’s nothing like proper Texas holdem tables but it satisfies the itch
@@MurkTempers that’s exactly how I started. Then we expanded it to allowing buy ins up to $25 and no limit on the number of buy ins; that really got it going. Like you said, we just did it for fun, not to punish people; however, some players (probably you) are just better than their competition. This advantage led to some decent spending money for me, not that that was my sole motivation. Looking back there were a few people who just wanted friends to hang out with and didn’t care about money. They’d fire like 3 $25 bullets like it was nothing. I also dig your dealers choice style; way more fun to mix it up
@@ramsayburch6738 we love mixing up rules to Texas holdem. We’ll make a card wild before dealing, or add an extra card to your holding, or even allow an exchange post flop of 1 card. Really interesting ways that are very small easy changes but completely change the odds of it all
Brad, thanks again for all you do. I appreciate your hand analysis very much. It has helped me become a better poker player. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the East Coast.
Next episode I have a huge announcement to make that I'm very very excited for.... Great cliffhanger!!! Can't wait to hear what it is! Happy Holidays Brad.
Thanks man. This session was from the end of November. I'm a little behind so I actually went a little over 20% of the goal with my December sessions that I still need to make videos for.
The right bets. Thanks for blessing me with your knowledge and I hope to meet up with you and Andrew. Take care and God Bless!!! From Hawaii Dee!!!! Aka Dcracks
Thanks for being a Blessing to me with wisdom and knowledge of the game. It’s great to watch you lose and to see how you overcome the game,your better than you think. Hopefully I can one day repay the Blessing you did for me. God Bless and Happy New Year!!!
I went to Norway in 2018 and loved it. I spent several days in Oslo but also drove somewhere far out into the country that was pretty desolate. I forget the name now but the whole country was beautiful and everyone was very friendly.
Hey Brad, recently got into your content, loving binge watching the vlog! I’ve only ever played live small buyin tournaments. I’m itching for some cash games but not sure how different the play is. In this video you say you “run cold for a while” then show your next hand as AdQh two hours later! Is that just the next interesting hand or did you fold for over two hours??
Tron proves, once again, that I have never, over more time than I’d like to admit at live tables, seen anyone limp/reraise with less than AK, KK, AA. I always wonder why they do it, but I guess Brad proved why! 😂
Sweet game Brad, congratulations on your year! At :32 seconds, is that San Clemente? I think it is, I'm from there originally. Pura Vida from Costa Rica.
My mom worked at a casino for years. Never learned to deal poker. I tried to teach her purely based on watching your videos. Needless to say, I only got as far as how to deal the cards, when you can bet, and that sizing matters. Couldn't nail down any of the terminology. Still don't know the difference between a straddle and a limped pot. I don't know the positions around the table except small and big blind have to put in bets pre deal. Still watching still learning.
Hey brad, was wondering if you could do a video on calculating pot odds like when you say "i'm getting almost 3 to 1 on a call here" i think it could help step up a lot of your viewers game. Can't wait to watch this one too good luck in the new year!
I think, someone correct me, it’s just the ratio of what you have to call vs what the pot is. So if there’s 100$ in the pot and it’s 25$ to call, you’re getting 4:1, meaning you’re essentially risking 1$ to potentially win 4$. It’s a quick risk/reward calculation.
Yeah pot odds is just: Amount in the pot/amount you have to pay So 400 in the pot and you have to put in 100 more is 4:1 pot odds (I.e. for every £ you pay you stand to win £4 on top) There’s also implied pot odds where you can attempt to include earnings on future streets which is a bit more complex

Almost as good as your “No free cards for tourists” line
The best year running of your life SO FAR next year 100k+ easy! you're just coming up in the stakes, can't wait to see how high you fly bro
He's down for the year man. He's living off of our unemployment tax dollars and he only posts his wins usually.

@@tinaminowski1014 Now add up all his vlogs for the year. Math is hard.
@@tinaminowski1014 you clearly don’t seem happy here so why even watch his videos
This has been a great year living vicariously through you, Brad! Thanks buddy!
Makes me go play 1/3 and then realize how hard poker really is
WELL SAID...!!

Thank you Mikey, good luck to you in 2022
The best part of my poker career is following you Brad! Love ya
Great vlog ! glad i was able to join the next day ! Happy Holidays & early New Year to you &
your family !
At the intro I was thinking "it would be awkward saying 'Hustler' at my parents' house," moments later he drops the motorboatin' joke. Legend!
I really appreciate the time stamp in the upper right! It makes it easier to understand how often you play a hand and gives rookies like me a more realistic feel of the game.
Been watching for about a year and a half by far my fav poker vlog
I’ve really been enjoying your content, you make it educational and very entertaining. Congrats on a strong year!
nice vid as always hope you had a good christmas too man, enjoy the new years
You too
I haven't made a call that bad for a very long time, Brad you are one damn funny guy!
"At the Hustler 'motor boating'." Hahahaha!! Killin' me Brad. Rock On!!
Awesome video! Good win! Run it up! See you at next event!! I like adding an exclamation like all of your titles !!!

2021 was the worst year of my life but watching you regularly made it easier..thanks Brad heres to 2022
Best in the business! Love your videos brad keep em coming
Have a great New year Brad, I have learnt a lot from watching your videos 👍🏼
he's getting better as a player with experience, that's why he's winning more, great to see him doing well
It's so funny when I pull up your video Brad, I automatically like it.....then I go to like it after the video but the deed is already done. Thank you for your amazing content!
Enjoyed the video Brad and best of luck in 2022!
I like the time in the corner. Shows the patience you gotta have
Love the read on the Pocket 77 as he cold called 3 bet from the BB that middling pair could very well be in his range!
Love your wit! 🤣🤣🤣
@01:02 It's great to see some brand new faces and some familiar ones too.
[Pans camera to show all poker players fully masked up]
Never stop uploading these videos!

@@melvinperez462 This is my guess!
Had a great time at the meet up. Brad is such a cool dude. Plus I took home some Bradly bucks with the Aces.
Good playing with you and yes, you got me. Hope to see you at the next one.
I love that your parents have a cork board with your poker achievements on it.
Brotherman I have been watching you from the beginning, always anxious to see your next vlog. Thanks for the good contents.
I'm gonna say...congrats on the engagement! Probably did it right out on the PV bluffs. I'm just down the street in Torrance.🥰
Great vlog. Congrats on the big year! Here’s to an even better 2022! Cheers!
It seems like those big-numbered chips put everyone on a hand-showing mood
I mean they're basically at a fan meet up. Everyone knows the vlog and they are there to have fun mostly
You had me at “welcome back to the poker vlog”
was just thinking... damn haven't seen a "Brad" video in awhile and BOOM! There it is!
Bro, you smashed your goal by 20% ?!?! That's incredible man. Mans is coming up big and I love to see it
Thanks man. This session was from the end of November. I'm a little behind so I actually went a little over 20% of the goal with my December sessions that I still need to make videos for.
HAPPY NEW YEAR BADLEY!!!! 200 just around the corner.
Congratulations on a lot of great plays. When you play hands and lose I’m blessed to learn how to play certain hands and make the fight bets
The right bets.
Thanks for blessing me with your knowledge and I hope to meet up with you and Andrew.
Take care and God Bless!!!
From Hawaii Dee!!!! Aka Dcracks
The right bets
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣.. got me rolling.. was checking out the poster as the caption popped up on top. 🤣🤣🤣....
I love the line. ‘If u can’t beat them, get them drunk and beat them!’
Love your stuff man. You have helped me with my game so much
Love the growth of your game and your RUclips writing and editing. What are you more proud of?
Im a big fan of Brad...keep doing it!!!
Great session.. hope you had a great Christmas bro
Thanks for the fix ! I can't wait til January for me to take another pictures with you.Like you told me last time FOREVER !
Stuck in the Midwest. Cold and rainy, waiting for happy lunch breaks with Brad and some Jiggidies
Happy holidays and happy New Years brother brad!
Thanks for being a Blessing to me with wisdom and knowledge of the game.
It’s great to watch you lose and to see how you overcome the game,your better than you think.
Hopefully I can one day repay the Blessing you
did for me.
God Bless and Happy New Year!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎉
Hope the run good continues.
Aw YES Brad, what a great run, Jiggities didn't make an appearance but boy did you get AQ every hand?
Yes I did, I went 2 and 2 with them I think.
Brad, Incredible year. Best wishes for the new year to you and all of us.
Brad, Love the Vlogs. When is the next MUG in Houston?, keep making the great content.
I’ll have to swing by in February 5th or 6th to play with you guys. I’m only 49 min away from the Hustler. Cheers Brad
Well done man. I hope you hit the millions
i won my third private game today! thanks to your content I‘ve improved so so much, i love the vlog
Nice job man
5:19 is that King marked? if you look you can see a crease. ( Look to the left of the card near the top )
Can't wait to make it to one of you're meet up games!
Hi Brad. Big fan from Norway💪🏼. Really like your videos 👍🏼 Would love to play live with you at some point. Keep up the good work ✌🏼
I went to Norway in 2018 and loved it. I spent several days in Oslo but also drove somewhere far out into the country that was pretty desolate. I forget the name now but the whole country was beautiful and everyone was very friendly.
That "get them drunk" line is a funny dea for a new Brad T-Shirt! Happy new year from an italian fan 😉
LOVE AND LIGHT AS ALWAYS COMRADE!! Happy New Year !! ❤🥰❤
Congratulations on a great year, can't wait to see your next year!
Great stuff Brad thank you for sharing

So many vlogs on here only show their winning hands/sessions. Your's is so great because it is genuine....
TY sir for yet another really great video. Love watching your sessions and how how you react to different situations. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Happy holidays to you too David. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
16:45 - "everythings going really well, yeah, really happy."
never seen someone say that with a more stoney expression.. lol
Agreed kinda lacking in enthusiasm
"If you can't beat em, get em drunk then beat em" 😂 words of wisdom
Hey Brad, always enjoy the videos. Arizona just recently approved for No Limit tables. When will you make another trip down here?
your play and analysis are an inspiration!
Great poker, great entertainment Brad ! 🎅😊👍
happy you hit your goal and beyond, playing tonight real soon
Happy new year. C u @ the tables in 2022
Congrats on the session and the year. Always fun watching your adventures! Happy New Year.
0:14 Ok. See you on Feb 56th. *Can't wait.*

That was the absolute ideal poker session to have. Nice
