I only make regulars that I battle with frequently with show their cards in the pocket 5 hand. You’re in Vegas, never gonna play with that guy again, you’re not missing out on any info besides showing his cards for the vlog
Keeping the vibes at the table good, or low key, is better than forcing people to show cards. You knew enough about his hand to make the right decisions and that's what mattered. No need for your opponent to show his cards there. You're also correct that doing that keeps the game moving too.
Thanks, Doug! It's finally back up from the dip I hit right after reaching the $25k goal the first time. I'm basically at the same spot I was back in about April or May. Hopefully the upward trend continues this time!
Hey, thanks man! Appreciate you watching as always. This episode was pretty short, all things considered. I'm really excited to get the next one out, I think it blows this one out of the water, personally.
Yep I did same thing w/ 5s two weeks ago. Called to set mine in SB. Comes 6-4-4. HJ cbets 15 I call then other two fold. Heads up. Turn is 2. I check, he sizes up to 45. I still thought I was ahead so I called to keep ace holding bluffs in. River is miracle 3. I check once more. He jams I insta call. He ended up having aces and I was trapping myself until that river lol 😂
Damn, that's a nice long trip you've got coming up! Color me jealous. 😆 Hope you have a good trip and some solid winning sessions. May the poker gods be in your favor!
Haha, that's probably mostly true, except for maybe in Texas since the action is so crazy there! I've got a few $1/2 episodes coming up soon from The Lodge in Austin where...well...I won't spoil it, you'll see! 😄
Your prolly never playing with these guys again so just showing when you have it and keeping the game going is fine, is there 5/10 game raked or timed rake?
It was really two reasons, and both have to do with booking a win. First, I had been on a downswing over about 2 months, and so winning some sessions was helpful for both my bankroll and my confidence. Second, these stakes are much higher than I normally play. If I head back to Vegas in the future, I'll probably be a little more comfortable with playing a longer session now that I have a few wins under my belt there.
@@HuggiePoker that makes a whole bunch of sense. Great content I have been watching ya for a while now. You have been getting better and better buddy. Glad to see you book a really great win at the higher stakes
Thanks Jake, I really appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the content too. I've had a pretty good series of sessions lately, meaning there are a bunch more fun and interesting episodes lined up!
Hey, Have a question. i was playing 1-2 and 1-3. had great results playin tight. I tryed adding bluffs and had a rough month and a half. how ever in tryed a few 2-5 sessions and had better results in the higher game. do you think i should stick with 2-5. it seems my play is better.
I'm not sure how big your sample size is, but there are some aspects of playing bigger that you do get respect for hands and plays that you wouldn't get at lower limits. Only play what you're comfortable losing, and if you're trying to build a poker bankroll, then that's definitely worth considering. If you're just playing recreationally on occasion or with fun money that you're not worried about, then I'd say play the game you feel like you can beat consistently.
Agree about that hand. But you show yourcards first on almost every hand not just that one. If someone doesnt say you are good there is no reason to show first if you arent the aggressor.
@@HuggiePoker it does. And you seem to hit a bunch of hands, and get a lot of callers. So maybe there is something to the way you play and act that keeps players consistently betting at you without the nuts
There's always action in Texas, but I've always seemed to get action. Maybe it's because I'm willing to play speculative hands and not just the nuts, so people are willing to play against me.
I think he either had two pair or a set, and he probably put me on an overpair given my preflop raise and cbet on the flop. When I raise the river, I don't think it makes sense to put me on an overpair anymore, but I think he had his mind set on it.
@@HuggiePoker yeah true, but 3 betting with a board with a one liner without a straight don’t know what he was trying to accomplish you will just fold anything else.
Completely disagree. Last bettor shows first has been the rule since forever. Not a slowroll even if you had the nuts which you didn’t. Last bettor promptly showing is the way to keep the game moving.
You should always narrate what your opponent has even if you shoot video of it. Don’t assume we can see what their cards are with the shakey, blurry video from the other side of the table. I still don’t know what the guy had when you had aces sand you both shoved.
I heard ur thoughts on that huge hand u tripled up on and u said u thought u should keep the game moving and u didn't make your opponent show his hand. U are right by believing u had the nuts to show your hand right away but because he made the bet and u just called he still has to show his hand if he makes final bet. You paid for his info is the first reason I feel u should ask to see his cards. My second thought where I feel your wrong is you said u want to keep him happy cuz how things been going and I feel your far from what should happen. Make him show his losing hand next time cuz for one then u no more how he plays and for 2 u actually want him to go on tilt as he will play on anger and make more mistakes.
@@HuggiePoker it's really not about tilting him and maybe it's cuz I been to prison but it's about the point u paid for that information what were his cards u deserve to see them.
Sorry guys, I forgot to show that in AA hand, our opponent had KK.
I only make regulars that I battle with frequently with show their cards in the pocket 5 hand. You’re in Vegas, never gonna play with that guy again, you’re not missing out on any info besides showing his cards for the vlog
Yeah, that's how I feel too. Glad I'm not alone in that thinking!
Your like the only vlogger who call early with aj and folds to the whiff flopped - very refreshing
Haha, I dunno if that's a good thing to hold onto AJ early when getting 3-bet TBH, but glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for that sound edit in the intro with cards going down with the beat. 👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎
Glad you liked that!
Nice Session & well played. Nice to see you back vlogging 😎
Thanks, Philip! I need to catch up on some of yours as well, I've fallen behind. I always enjoy yours!
solid session, nice win, that bankroll must be growing again
Thanks, Doug! It's finally back up from the dip I hit right after reaching the $25k goal the first time. I'm basically at the same spot I was back in about April or May. Hopefully the upward trend continues this time!
@@HuggiePoker I like your chances
@@dougmccuskerpoker I dunno man, we'll see! 🙈
Wow man, great session. Even better recap.
Hey, thanks man! Appreciate you watching as always. This episode was pretty short, all things considered. I'm really excited to get the next one out, I think it blows this one out of the water, personally.
I agree with not forcing your opponent to show in those circumstances.
By the way, ten dollar chips are weird.

Nice runout!
Look like a genius this time. Very lucky. But smart get up with big win
Nice!! I get there Sunday night 🥳 I plan on playing my first 5/10 session at some point (have 12 days!). I’ll hit the 2/5 at Bellagio upon arrival 😎
Damn, that's a nice long trip you've got coming up! Color me jealous. 😆 Hope you have a good trip and some solid winning sessions. May the poker gods be in your favor!
Yes a new post!
And plenty more coming! 😎
Nice win
Thanks, bud!
I need to start playing cash. Nice hands buddy
Thanks, Allan!
Huggie, I was admitted in the hospital with sepsis. That shit can kill you. I'm way late on this, but great session brother 💪
Oh shit, I hope you're doing okay, Ian! Take care of yourself first and foremost.
Can’t be scared of monsters under the bed on the Q9 hand, in this case the opp only had a 5 high flush but can’t be scared
Yep, totally agreed.
You will never look at 1-2 the same again
Haha, that's probably mostly true, except for maybe in Texas since the action is so crazy there! I've got a few $1/2 episodes coming up soon from The Lodge in Austin where...well...I won't spoil it, you'll see! 😄
Your prolly never playing with these guys again so just showing when you have it and keeping the game going is fine, is there 5/10 game raked or timed rake?
The 5/10 and up is timed, everything below that is raked.
People I play with would consider an hour and 40 minute session a hit-and-run if you were up that much.
Good thing I wasn't playing with them!
If you're running so hot why did you leave after only 90 min? Just wondering your thought process

What did he have the first hand? He showed but you can’t see and never said
Whoops! When I had AA, he had KK. Meant to include it in the graphics, and I guess I missed it somehow. Sorry about that!
Diaper man wins again
We're doin it!

Keeps the game moving. 🙂

Slim that card protector down
Don’t know how that guy can 3 bet when you have 5s with worst??? Was it a bluff or I don’t get it
I think he either had two pair or a set, and he probably put me on an overpair given my preflop raise and cbet on the flop. When I raise the river, I don't think it makes sense to put me on an overpair anymore, but I think he had his mind set on it.
You clearly had the right read on the player. I’d have been a lot more concerned about T9 in the situation, how did you rule it out?
@@jackh3988 It's possible, but it's hard to give credit to a gutshot. I think if he has that hand, we're just destined to go broke here.
@@HuggiePoker yeah true, but 3 betting with a board with a one liner without a straight don’t know what he was trying to accomplish you will just fold anything else.
@@dolphinfan1493 Oh, for sure, I don't disagree with you! 😄
Completely disagree.
Last bettor shows first has been the rule since forever.
Not a slowroll even if you had the nuts which you didn’t.
Last bettor promptly showing is the way to keep the game moving.
That's fair. I think both our approaches are okay here, and I definitely wouldn't accuse you of a slowroll in that spot.
Very rude too say if u bet I fold
You should always narrate what your opponent has even if you shoot video of it. Don’t assume we can see what their cards are with the shakey, blurry video from the other side of the table. I still don’t know what the guy had when you had aces sand you both shoved.
Wait. Nm. You said in the comments
Yeah, I just forgot the overlay. I try to give all the info necessary for each hand, sorry about that!
It’s not slow rolling. You want to make some random person at a poker table happy? Or your viewers?
I heard ur thoughts on that huge hand u tripled up on and u said u thought u should keep the game moving and u didn't make your opponent show his hand. U are right by believing u had the nuts to show your hand right away but because he made the bet and u just called he still has to show his hand if he makes final bet.

Make him show his losing hand next time cuz for one then u no more how he plays and for 2 u actually want him to go on tilt as he will play on anger and make more mistakes.
I'm not out to try to tilt people, it's just not who I am. I'd rather have a friendly game and keep people happy. 🙂
@@HuggiePoker it's really not about tilting him and maybe it's cuz I been to prison but it's about the point u paid for that information what were his cards u deserve to see them.
@@HuggiePoker but u are a great person and a great poker player keep up the good work and great videos u are my new favorite to watch now
@@BoozSShop Thanks man, I appreciate your support!
After that Q9 hand I’m not gonna suscribe lmao
Your Friend is wrong q9 was just a call. And don't try too teach as you are learning!
You will never look at 1-2 the same again
