as a viewer I don't often think about it but what Brad has to go through just to get us some quality videos of live poker is mad respectable. thank you brad
I have zero clue as to compensation structure for successful YT'ers, but as a one-man operation I truly hope this channel is at least a comfortable side hustle for Brad. Hard work and a well-made product should always be rewarded.
@@Wand422 idk if he does sponsors but he probably makes 75k up to low 6 figures from ad revenue on his channel which. probably nowadays thats less than what he averages from poker (idrk) but im sure it rlly helps to have semi-stable income during those high variance downsings
Damn Brad legit looked like he was on the verge of tears at the end. Not tears of stress or sadness, but tears of triumph. Great game man, was rooting for you the whole way.
I haven't played cards in years and randomly stumbled on this video. Watched every second you made the viewer feel like they were on the ride with you. The narration was top notch. Great video man.
Brad the content you’re creating is incredibly compelling. I’m literally feeling the anxiety of the hands and cheering for you out loud like my team won the super bowl. Amazing work and I am heading to the merch store to support the vlog as everyone else who can should!
Some playe 20/40 is like playing with pennies The others might be degenerate gamblers :) Good to know who is who which he points out :)@@denniskuhl5770
This might be your best vlog yet, showing all the ups and downs of playing poker for a living! Happy to see you get a win, the way you talk us through it feels like I got a win out of it as well
This was literally the best poker vlog I’ve ever watched from ANY of the RUclipsrs...I think we all felt like we were right there with you in every hand! From the down swing to the comeback, the commentary , the stakes.... all absolutely amazing!!!!
Holy ****, I was anxious throughout this entire video! I actually applauded outloud when you won that last hand. Great plays and congrats on that huge turnaround!
Brad, I've been watching for a few years now, and to see you kill these stakes and gut out rollercoaster sessions like this is so much fun. This episode has been my favorite by far!
The quality is always climbing. Thanks for taking us on your poker journey. This game took me on the emotional rollercoaster with you. You stuck it out and moved on from a gigantic cooler. Kudos to you and thanks for the epic content.
So cool as someone who recently started watching the vlog to go back and watch some of the old vlogs where he's making a lot of the same comments ("got into some huge hands," "biggest game ive ever played) with 10% of the money he's playing for now at stake. Super cool to see his growth.
I really appreciate your honesty through out the session. I imagine it’s not easy to admit to the entire world when you’re tilting/not playing optimal. Awesome video as usual!
@@relaxationmeditationsleep2934 thank god somebody else who knows what they are talking about lmao. He could’ve made so much more money if he would of not made up justified reasons for calling. Multiple occasions he barely had the odds to call and with more experienced players at the table he should be playing tight af.
I was devastated when you lost, tilted when you made bad calls, and cheered out loud when we drilled the set and got the aces. Best movie of 2021, thanks for the ride.
I never comment on anything. I have been watching you for years now. That was sick. I honestly feel as invested when you are playing as when I watch the Packers play and I am a huge cheesehead. Keep going man, you are the best poker vlogger on the internet.
@@BradOwenPoker As a fellow cheesehead, that is no light hearted comparison from Joseph and I totally agree. Amazing session Brad. Huge congrats. I imagine you needed more than just that one beer afterwards. 🤣
I swear, it's always like that when moving up in stakes. You start out with some really great starting hands and just get bamboozled by some rivers and odd plays. But this video once again goes to show how important it is to keep a level head and just keep playing solidly.
I never, ever leave RUclips comments (I actually think this is my first one), but this is my favourite vlog of yours ever. Felt every moment while watching this. Brilliant.
This was insane, felt like I was rooting for my favorite team in game 7 of the World Series, slowly climbing back after being down 10 runs in the first inning. I just know this video is gonna be a huge turning point, not only for your poker career, but also for this channel. Much love Brad, wishing the best for your future endeavors.
This was the very first vlog of yours that I have watched and I absolutely LOVE your brutal honesty! Even though I've never played any stakes higher than 2-5, I still remember all those crazy emotions the first time I stepped into the higher stake game! I definitely enjoyed this and subscribed. Keep pushing your limits!
I love how honest you are about everything. Most people only care about looking good and only want to show the soul snatching but you show us how it really is. #respect!
People don't know who they are. So they overcompensate for there shortcomings by proving how intelligent they are at poker. It's sad people have fallen far from there natural selfs. Know who you are; there's power in knowing who you are; it provides clarity which leads to confidence as one knows what the right thing to do is in any given situation.
@@djawwn People like to identify with labels that have been given to them. Oh your black, oh your Muslim, oh your gay. Those are experiences, not who you, are. Who we are is consciousness, infinite awareness, having a unique experience from a unique point of attention. The body is a vessel, a means of experiencing this reality, it's a point of attention. When consciousness leaves the body it's changing ones point of attention. So many people do not know who they are. The intellect gets worshiped. The Intellectual cleverness of the mind is praised rather than the intelligence of the heart. Why do we hate on others for having a different experience than us? Gay, straight, Muslim, Jew, Christian, black, white, all labels, that's not who we are rather our unique experience.
“I just want to trap this moment in a jar and come back to it when I’m feeling sad.” That’s what this whole video did for me, man. I remember exactly what all this feels like, the first time I sat in a 10/20 game after mostly playing 2/5 for a long time. I’m pretty sure I was visibly shaking in the chair the whole session.
Reminded me of my very first time moving up in stakes,,,,,,nearly the exact stakes here. And it was terrifying. It was such an entertaining journey you gave us. Thanks you… keep them coming!
I've watched many many poker vlogs over the years from all of the relevant vloggers and this is hands down the single most entertaining episode I have ever watched!!! Awesome... totally awesome!!!! If there is an award for vlog episode of the year this is a lock to take it down!!!
So much respect for the raw emotion you’re willing to share. You represent a lot of people and the struggle of moving up in the world of poker. You’re the man Brad. Congrats on booking the win
Lol you degen’d so hard after that stack off with the flopped flush vs the RR boat. This is the best video evidence of tilt I’ve ever witnessed! Thanks bro! Winning 100 BBs in each stake you played that day ain’t too shabby sir. You look like you had spent the night in jail after that session though man. Someone else commented it was the single most entertaining vlog he’d ever seen and I would second that notion.
"My opponent turns over Jack Deuce of spades. He might like Jack Suited a little too much." One of the most satisfying lines of the entire blog series. Well done Bradferd.
It was poetic justice that the guy lost the last big pot getting Brad back into the black with his favorite jack duce hand. I'd have lost my mind losing that earlier hand verses jack duce.
Brad , this seems to be one of your most in the moment honest uploads. Your inner monologue is remsincent of what most of us amateurs contend with on the roller coaster. Plus you chased the losses you degen... lol j/k thanks for sharing.
This has to win an award 🥇 for the top vlog of 2021! What an emotional rollercoaster 🎢 showing us the highs and lows of playing poker! Truly brilliant! Nice job getting Spraggy, Marle, and Doyle Brunson 😉 in the vlog as well!
Yeah maybe that moment only cus the rest of the session is a heart attack on steriods. Crazy cooler stuff and a good heads up for all of us amateurs out here
Brad turns up and asks for “2 stacks of high society” and goes hard! This is why we all love poker!! I was stressed just watching !! Congrats Brad. Great session mate.
After studying the trajectory of great assets like real estate, dividend paying stocks of blue chip companies, gold, etc. my conclusion is that most great assets never come down to the price that you want them to so you can buy. Just buy the ones you can afford today.

I appreciate how raw the video is, the stress and emotion of the session really come through, which just underscores how this isn't an easy thing like some vlogs make it seem. Glad the session swung your way.
Holy sh*t, been watching these vlogs for well over a year, the content just keeps getting better and better. This video in particular was insane! Felt like a movie (Rounders vibes with the two stacks of high society) Congrats on booking the win Brad, cheers!
This has been one of my favorite channels over the last year. Brad , I truly care about how your sessions go. I’m rooting for you every time. This had my heart racing . I hope you learned some things and next time let us just be nervous. I hope you stopped for a few McJiggities on the way home, you earned them!
It's pretty noticable how differently you play at those high levels, but it's totally understandable. I'm really happy for you that you came out on top! I'm just thinking, "Ah, he just lost a used car's worth of money. Ah, he just won a new car's worth of money." Totally crazy.
God knows how often many of us experienced the same roller coaster ride in smaller games. And chasing losses with K4 and Q4 most often ends with even bigger losses. But Brad only felt the pressure because he was playing out of his comfort level. For most of the players at that level at Bellagio, there is little pressure because they got enough money not to worry about it...!!!
Wondered when the wide ranges would be mentioned - was this wild gambling - tilt - or do you have a loose opening range and we don’t see many of these as they invariably fall to a post flop bet. No criticism here as any of these scenarios are human just interested to get Brads take on it 🤔
Wow, I've been on RUclips for 15 years or so and have never felt this many emotions watching a video. What a great session, thanks for taking us along with you on a crazy ride! So pumped for you! Love your commentary. Keep up the GREAT work!
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen the way you document every single aspect of the game down to each player’s pot size at the start of the hand along with that insane rollercoaster of a ride that that video was. Honestly felt like a movie and I’m glad that you were up at the end of the day. You’ve taught me a lot about poker since I began watching you a couple months ago and I really appreciate what you do on here.
@@benjaminmorton4958 Yah for sure. I don't think I've seen Brad play a hand more tilted than that ever. And after losing that big hand he really became pretty loose for the rest of the session too. More loose than I've seen him in the lower stakes games.
Brad Owen you are the man. Your channel is better than any poker content on television. I have seen almost all of your videos. I have been playing poker for over 20 years (I’m definitely older than you lol) and I can say your perspective of the game has helped evolve my own game. Keep up the great work
Man I’ll tell you I was nervous just watching this, I can’t imagine how you felt. I’m so glad you came back and booked a win. I was celebrating every win!!! That was intense!! Well done
I’m just glad to see that Doyle is still playing :) BTW K4 suited is my favorite hand but only because I won my biggest online score with it in an online MTT several years ago.
Well done Brad! Fantastic run. You showed a heart of a champion. You proved you can play against the big boys and win big. Very proud of you and glad you continue to share your journey with us.
I could not imagine playing this game. In my head I was playing along with you. The ride was just incredible. My hart was pounding almost as much as yours. Thanks for taking us all along. Your insight and thought process is truly amazing. Good luck with all your future games. And thanks for publishing the video.
Everyone who has climbed the blind levels knows how this feels. It's great to see you live the dream at the big game in Bellagio. Well played, good grit and if I were you I would go back soon after again because you have the talent.
Kudos to you and all the other good sports at the table for understanding your importance of your vlogs to help increase the popularity of the game. Great video!
Wow, what a roller-coaster. I was so emotionally invested in this video I almost cheered out loud in that last hand and I'm sitting here by myself. This is the best live poker content on RUclips right now.
Best poker vlogger comes through with a home run…what a session!!..I feel like you always play your best when you’re backs against the rope…way to claw back and keep us on the edge of our seat!!
Fantastic blog Brad, almost like a mini movie. Reminds me of the first ever time I moved up to 5/10 table, it was an emotional time also, didn’t trust my instincts and was out in under 5 mins. Thanks again.
I literally held my breath multiple times during this. You’re a mad man. I hope you are making enough with partnerships and Adsense to keep up these stakes. This was amazing
I've enjoyed your series since episode 1, and I must say, this was the most entertaining (yet stressful) vlog I've seen - hands down. Well done and congrats on booking the win.
discovered you channel yesterday and all ive been watching is your videos. I used to play poker a lot and some of my friends moved onto playing high stakes and even winning some small tournaments. I however stopped playing over a decade ago. watching your channel makes me miss poker. I really like your style of content and the education you provide. Theres a comment below saying this is better than watching TV poker and I can't agree more.
That is the most emotionally taxing poker video I think I’ve ever watched. Amazing - keep up this content, Brad. But don’t spontaneously combust from this stress. The poker world needs you.
“I call to see if we can get lucky one time in a massive game… and we don’t!!” Love your commentary and attitude when talking about hands. You are the reason I started playing in casinos, Brad 🤝
This is arguably your best vlog! Its great to see you hold your own after a rocky start in higher stakes against difficult opponents. It's amazing how far you've come. From a devoted viewer great job and thank you for the content! You and D-negs are the reason i take my friends to value town every week. Keep up the grind Brad-skie! Thank you for teaching me poker!
I don't even play poker but have watched every one of your videos. In the future I think you will look back at this video (coming back from a being in the hole massively and eventually posting a profit) and see it as a turning point in your poker career. Keep up the good work mate.
One of the best episodes @Brad Owen has ever put out (and I've seen em all!), i'm like Joseph Cash never comment. But had to on this one. It had drama, heartache, and victory all told in an entertaining way. Congrats Brad! But can we go back to 2/5 or (max) 5/10, i can't take this stress!!
Spent my lunch break watching the most insane session in recent VLOG history. Congrats on the big win and can’t wait for future content. The flush over flush at the end had me on the edge of my seat.
Great vlog! Really shows the stress that comes with stepping up to a bigger game. The stress comes from perspective of the value of money. It always seems to me that at bigger tables with players experienced with that game, they treat their chips as chips and less about their value. If you fixate on the value, it affects your decisions for better or worse.
That was crazy! Honestly I wouldn’t have bet the flop either with the nuts diamond flush. It’s super rare that the turn and river gave him a boat with an 88. That’s just bad luck. Glad you ended up winning! 😎
Not sure how i feel about the guy at your table saying "no bet on the flop?" Like fuck seems rude to me who wants to get their decisions questioned right after losing a big pot?
@@BradOwenPoker I actually think the river call is OK the way you played it. It's hard for you to have any boats here and I don't think you can have many hands that block his boat combos either. Maybe every now and then you can have a flopped flush with the 8 of diamonds, and those hands are better calls, but that's it. In that spot it's probably fine just to call the higher flushes and fold the lower ones. Might be better to call the turn and raise the river, though, it keeps your range a lot wider.
@@BradOwenPoker Why such a large river bet? You bet nearly pot on a three flush paired board. Doesn't this polarize your hand and yet you aren't really polar? A merge? With only 4k back I would have expected a jam or small bet. Even if he has an Ace x any two pair would be counterfeited without a 5. You don't really have many sets here. Value owned. I didn't finish watching the hand but I gather from comments the opponent had 8s full. Tough luck but once you made that bet it was all over, he's always jamming and you can never fold. Btw, I'd also have expected some c bet on that flop to protect against a one card flush, get some value. That's why you are playing and I'm watching. Really would love a better breakdown of this hand. Call in to Bart, this I think could be an interesting spot to do a deep dive into. Just some thoughts
@@eshootziscrs2868 You didn’t finish watching the hand? LMAO it wasn’t even that long to watch 1 hand 😂. Why comment if you weren’t even able to watch a single hand? 🤣
This was a great vlog. I literally felt all the emotions. All the coolers my heart sank. And when you finally won that last pot, I literally cheered out loud. Great job man.
I been watching you for a while Brad that was IMO the best session ever. I love the adrenaline rush poker gives you congratulations on your win can’t wait for the next vlog.
I swear, that was the most entertaining thing I’ve watched in a long time. The emotion behind this really hit me. Bloody good video this one Brad. You’re a mad man.
Well I have to say! This was probably the most enjoyable and Informative poker game session I ever watched , this was awesome dude can’t wait to see more well done.
absolutely loved every f***** minute! that Q4h bluff was so intense, it felt like it was me who did it! congrats Brad for an epic video and an unforgettable night!
Heck of a game… thanks for taking us along for that roller coaster ride. 👍

I cheered for him a couple of hands this episode as well lol
The shakiness in your voice after recapping the day truly shows just how crazy that game was. Congratz on your win Brad!
Came here to say the same thing! Great vlog!
Honestly crazy how chill the vibes are at these tables , loved the vlog been getting into poker lately gonna continue watching and learning

i mean not cause the player rigth? He was a bigger calling station than Phill hellmuth playing vs Tony g
Not really. I had the same mentality as him for most of those river situations
Watch Ryan dipalio (whatever the fuck his last name is) but his win at the colossus
Absolutely agree. Best one I’ve watched so far.
Holy ****, I was anxious throughout this entire video! I actually applauded outloud when you won that last hand. Great plays and congrats on that huge turnaround!

When the dude turned over a J high flush I legit cheered for you Brad. What a session and incredible that you captured this. Congrats man.

Love Doyle Brunson, good to see him still hustlin'. "eat my dust" lol
I felt every minute of that ,thanks for the session and wonderful opponents, real players.
This has been one of my favorite channels over the last year. Brad , I truly care about how your sessions go. I’m rooting for you every time. This had my heart racing . I hope you learned some things and next time let us just be nervous.
I hope you stopped for a few McJiggities on the way home, you earned them!
I ordered several McJiggities. Thanks a lot man.
It's pretty noticable how differently you play at those high levels, but it's totally understandable. I'm really happy for you that you came out on top! I'm just thinking, "Ah, he just lost a used car's worth of money. Ah, he just won a new car's worth of money." Totally crazy.
Best poker blog of all time by far. We are living vicariously through you brad, you’re a miracle for the poker universe.
God knows how often many of us experienced the same roller coaster ride in smaller games. And chasing losses with K4 and Q4 most often ends with even bigger losses. But Brad only felt the pressure because he was playing out of his comfort level. For most of the players at that level at Bellagio, there is little pressure because they got enough money not to worry about it...!!!
Wondered when the wide ranges would be mentioned - was this wild gambling - tilt - or do you have a loose opening range and we don’t see many of these as they invariably fall to a post flop bet. No criticism here as any of these scenarios are human just interested to get Brads take on it 🤔
Wow, I've been on RUclips for 15 years or so and have never felt this many emotions watching a video. What a great session, thanks for taking us along with you on a crazy ride! So pumped for you! Love your commentary. Keep up the GREAT work!
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen the way you document every single aspect of the game down to each player’s pot size at the start of the hand along with that insane rollercoaster of a ride that that video was. Honestly felt like a movie and I’m glad that you were up at the end of the day. You’ve taught me a lot about poker since I began watching you a couple months ago and I really appreciate what you do on here.
Forget the Revenge Range Table...This had the Desperation Range Table. That K4 was nuts
That K-4 was tilted AF, but luck was a lady for once.
@@benjaminmorton4958 Yah for sure. I don't think I've seen Brad play a hand more tilted than that ever. And after losing that big hand he really became pretty loose for the rest of the session too. More loose than I've seen him in the lower stakes games.
Brad Owen you are the man. Your channel is better than any poker content on television. I have seen almost all of your videos. I have been playing poker for over 20 years (I’m definitely older than you lol) and I can say your perspective of the game has helped evolve my own game. Keep up the great work
Man this vlog felt like one of those legendary comeback stories. “And the Falcons Score to make it 28-3”. “And he backdoored a full house”
As a Falcons and Dolphins fan, this seriously is not a nice reference. I HATE the Patsies.....
Waow, this one was absolutely insane. Honestly Brad, congrats on the win and thanks for the epic video!
LETSSSS GOOO. I’ll be in Vegas wearing your merch sep. 3rd Brad! Hopefully I’ll see you!
Make sure to get some Bradley dollars
Me too... on may 2nd week of sept
I'm glad there's an O in your last name! 😂
@@antarcticorb9197 Right? 😂
@@nikolamitrovic3841 sadly I’ll be playing 1/2 but maybe he’ll come play at my table and reck my soul 😂
I really enjoyed watching you playing the table and commenting. Awesomely honest and brilliant to observe the high rollars. GL to you fella.
Man I’ll tell you I was nervous just watching this, I can’t imagine how you felt. I’m so glad you came back and booked a win. I was celebrating every win!!! That was intense!! Well done
Honestly dude that was the best thing I’ve ever watched on RUclips. Proud of you brotha keep it up.
35:41 ~ I about cried man. I can’t even imagine that level of stress. Thank you so much for sharing this vlog. What a journey!
I’m just glad to see that Doyle is still playing :) BTW K4 suited is my favorite hand but only because I won my biggest online score with it in an online MTT several years ago.
This is your best vlog I’ve ever watched Brad you had my stomach dropping the whole vid😂😂
Well done Brad! Fantastic run. You showed a heart of a champion. You proved you can play against the big boys and win big. Very proud of you and glad you continue to share your journey with us.
Great episode Brad. Thank you for being super authentic. My heart was racing just watching some of these hands. Keep the great work coming!
True throwing around thousands like bus tokens🤣🤣🤣
I watch Brad's channel from time to time. By far this was the most entertaining. I've never made it through an entire video till today.
What a rollercoaster of emotions, never been more invested in a vlog than in this one.
Great vlog and so happy you booked a win!
I could not imagine playing this game. In my head I was playing along with you. The ride was just incredible. My hart was pounding almost as much as yours. Thanks for taking us all along. Your insight and thought process is truly amazing. Good luck with all your future games. And thanks for publishing the video.
Everyone who has climbed the blind levels knows how this feels. It's great to see you live the dream at the big game in Bellagio. Well played, good grit and if I were you I would go back soon after again because you have the talent.
He is not mentally ready for that game. It's not funny to watch him being desperate to take his money back
In absolutely no way should Brad set foot in there again.
@@makisdimatos3427 He is likely overplaying it for the vlog. He probably decided beforehand that he was going to take a $20k shot.
Man, when Bradley breaks the seal on the ole F-bomb he just lets loose. Felt the tension throughout this one, great vlog.
Kudos to you and all the other good sports at the table for understanding your importance of your vlogs to help increase the popularity of the game. Great video!
I have never been more hyped during a vlog, that was unreal to watch. Congrats Brad!
Wow, what a roller-coaster. I was so emotionally invested in this video I almost cheered out loud in that last hand and I'm sitting here by myself. This is the best live poker content on RUclips right now.
Best poker vlogger comes through with a home run…what a session!!..I feel like you always play your best when you’re backs against the rope…way to claw back and keep us on the edge of our seat!!
Fantastic blog Brad, almost like a mini movie. Reminds me of the first ever time I moved up to 5/10 table, it was an emotional time also, didn’t trust my instincts and was out in under 5 mins. Thanks again.
I literally held my breath multiple times during this. You’re a mad man. I hope you are making enough with partnerships and Adsense to keep up these stakes. This was amazing
I've enjoyed your series since episode 1, and I must say, this was the most entertaining (yet stressful) vlog I've seen - hands down. Well done and congrats on booking the win.
You can see the emotion in you at the end of that game and how draining it is, great plays you made. Really enjoyed watching it. Well played 👍
discovered you channel yesterday and all ive been watching is your videos. I used to play poker a lot and some of my friends moved onto playing high stakes and even winning some small tournaments. I however stopped playing over a decade ago. watching your channel makes me miss poker. I really like your style of content and the education you provide. Theres a comment below saying this is better than watching TV poker and I can't agree more.
the doyle clip has me dying, you are a legend brad... eat my dust
Doyle ran over my foot in the Bellagio poker room once. Knew it too... never even looked back.
Legend!
That is the most emotionally taxing poker video I think I’ve ever watched. Amazing - keep up this content, Brad. But don’t spontaneously combust from this stress. The poker world needs you.
I love how supporting the community is. so cool how attentive you are with the recall for us! Thank you Brad!
“I call to see if we can get lucky one time in a massive game… and we don’t!!”
Love your commentary and attitude when talking about hands. You are the reason I started playing in casinos, Brad 🤝
This is my favorite vlog that you’ve ever made. I was sweating bullets with you the entire time!
This whole video made me feel so anxious, can’t even imagine how you were feeling man. Nice work, love the vids
This is arguably your best vlog! Its great to see you hold your own after a rocky start in higher stakes against difficult opponents. It's amazing how far you've come. From a devoted viewer great job and thank you for the content! You and D-negs are the reason i take my friends to value town every week. Keep up the grind Brad-skie! Thank you for teaching me poker!
14:38 that “and we don’t” had me rolling 😂😂😂 so relatable bro hahahaha
I don't even play poker but have watched every one of your videos. In the future I think you will look back at this video (coming back from a being in the hole massively and eventually posting a profit) and see it as a turning point in your poker career. Keep up the good work mate.
One of the best episodes @Brad Owen has ever put out (and I've seen em all!), i'm like Joseph Cash never comment. But had to on this one. It had drama, heartache, and victory all told in an entertaining way. Congrats Brad!
But can we go back to 2/5 or (max) 5/10, i can't take this stress!!
Spent my lunch break watching the most insane session in recent VLOG history. Congrats on the big win and can’t wait for future content. The flush over flush at the end had me on the edge of my seat.
Best poker vlog ever made? Has to be. I was literally anxious, excited and sick…. How he do that to me? 🤷🏻♂️😂
I'm new to this channel and that was so interesting. The fact that you discuss your emotion and thought process is the best part.
Congratulations Brad! So proud of you and kudos of you for showing the whole range of hands, not just the winners.
My heart was literally racing watching this. What a crazy perspective. Best Vlog yet
Our hero “glad Brad” stands up and is replaced by “mad Brad” who buys in for the second bullet and activates revenge range…awesomeness ensues!
Great vlog! Really shows the stress that comes with stepping up to a bigger game. The stress comes from perspective of the value of money. It always seems to me that at bigger tables with players experienced with that game, they treat their chips as chips and less about their value. If you fixate on the value, it affects your decisions for better or worse.
That was crazy! Honestly I wouldn’t have bet the flop either with the nuts diamond flush. It’s super rare that the turn and river gave him a boat with an 88. That’s just bad luck. Glad you ended up winning! 😎
Thanks Charlie, that was a rough one for me.
Not sure how i feel about the guy at your table saying "no bet on the flop?" Like fuck seems rude to me who wants to get their decisions questioned right after losing a big pot?
@@BradOwenPoker I actually think the river call is OK the way you played it. It's hard for you to have any boats here and I don't think you can have many hands that block his boat combos either. Maybe every now and then you can have a flopped flush with the 8 of diamonds, and those hands are better calls, but that's it. In that spot it's probably fine just to call the higher flushes and fold the lower ones.
Might be better to call the turn and raise the river, though, it keeps your range a lot wider.
@@BradOwenPoker
Why such a large river bet?
You bet nearly pot on a three flush paired board.
Doesn't this polarize your hand and yet you aren't really polar?
A merge?
With only 4k back I would have expected a jam or small bet. Even if he has an Ace x any two pair would be counterfeited without a 5.
You don't really have many sets here.
Value owned.
I didn't finish watching the hand but I gather from comments the opponent had 8s full. Tough luck but once you made that bet it was all over, he's always jamming and you can never fold.
Btw, I'd also have expected some c bet on that flop to protect against a one card flush, get some value.
That's why you are playing and I'm watching.
Really would love a better breakdown of this hand.
Call in to Bart, this I think could be an interesting spot to do a deep dive into.
Just some thoughts
@@eshootziscrs2868 You didn’t finish watching the hand? LMAO it wasn’t even that long to watch 1 hand 😂. Why comment if you weren’t even able to watch a single hand? 🤣
This has to be the best episode till date ❤️
So many ups and downs great episode
Brad honestly looked like he had aged ten years when he was giving us the post-session recap
Yeah man, it took a lot out of me
I reckon I've watched this vlog 5 or 6 times now Brad and it's just a bloody great watch. Raw emotion, great poker and some awesome insights.
This was a great vlog. I literally felt all the emotions. All the coolers my heart sank. And when you finally won that last pot, I literally cheered out loud. Great job man.
I been watching you for a while Brad that was IMO the best session ever. I love the adrenaline rush poker gives you congratulations on your win can’t wait for the next vlog.
I swear, that was the most entertaining thing I’ve watched in a long time. The emotion behind this really hit me.
Bloody good video this one Brad. You’re a mad man.
Well I have to say! This was probably the most enjoyable and Informative poker game session I ever watched , this was awesome dude can’t wait to see more well done.
absolutely loved every f***** minute! that Q4h bluff was so intense, it felt like it was me who did it! congrats Brad for an epic video and an unforgettable night!
I love how brad is being honest doesn’t matter if it’s a right play at that point. Watched every single of your videos, love your vlogs man.
Best episode yet. Brad comes with some brutal honesty. Wouldnt recommend regularly playing outside of bankroll, but sure is fun when it works out!
One of my favorite videos ive seen from this channel, and ive watched them all! Super suspenseful!
