dont know why it is Ben, but you have always been my favorite poker vlog to watch. Used to watch em all, now I only watch yours. The commentary is always in great spirit and entertaining, and your play over the years has improved dramatically as well. Keep up the great work sir!
"Big Slick" is an accurate name given to an AK, HOWEVER....it was initially applied to ONLY the Ace King of Spades suited. That is...the original Big Slick. Trust me. Been doing this since 1983. In this vlog I saw Zero examples of actual Big Slick. But I did see a "Little Slick" once @ 13:23, also an accredited name from the past.
@@geoffreyedwards3425 I think any AK could be 'Walking back to Houston'. When inexperienced No Limit players played in Dallas they ended up overplaying AK pre-flop and eventually ran into AA.
I feel ya on the age thing. When I started playing, every player was at least 30 years older than me. Now half the time I'm lucky if one player is older at my table.
Well, if there's any silver lining to your session today, I note your loss this time around wasn't as bad as previous Vegas sessions of yours--that and the Kalashnikov finally held up for you when you needed it most. As for Big Slick, I haven't heard that term in awhile since whenever you mention Slick, I think of a certain, still-MIA Peppermill regular.
I feel like I run better than I should with AK... But then again a lot of people I play with will play weak aces and call down so I mean, it's not on my end where I'm getting value
😂😂😂 you got to hear the 71 year old former pilot ✈️ 👨✈️ sing. He was tilted the other day and showed a Spaniard millennial his black AMEX card and told him “you’ll never own a 25,000 sq. Ft. House in Summerlin”. That’s probably true (not that anyone wants a 25k house). Thankfully, you missed his rendition of Elvis and Sinatra (the floor let him get in 3 times that morning) 😂
Cant fold AK there. Thats scared money! Why are u even calling pre flop if u are gunna fold when u hit top top on the flop? Just makes no sense at all. Call ALL DAY! Yes just to chop! Chopping and splitting the other dudes money is way better than losing 200 in that spot when u fold!
Sinatra (Fly Me to the Moon), not Beatles. That guy would annoy me. Had an older person randomly sing hip hop at the table once and he was so irritating.
Yes the traffic down here has been horrendous. Good to see you get a Vegas vlog in.

16:29 - that's from the restaurand at Mandalay Bay? I didn't know they had balconies there.
Nice vlog as usual…. Caps fan here. Nice game the other night. :)
project X is such a great movie
AK = Big Slick AQ= Little Slick That's the way it goes.
I've watched 238 of your vlogs....and hit the like button that many times too. I'm single handedly responsible for 3 or 4 cents of your net worth.

My understanding is that any suited AK is 'Big Slick'. The unsuited variety has been called 'Walking back to Houston'.

3:23 AQ ...worst possible hand in a deck! Can get you in troubles only!

I play at Maryland Live near Baltimore. Player ages are pretty evenly spread out amongst young, middle, and older...

What hotel do you usually stay at?
Harrahs or park mgm usually
I love AK.
I’ll be out in Vegas soon to see the Bruins best the Knights
Could be a preview of the final
Big Slick seems to be out of favor.
😊
Finally not in the pepper will 😂😂
If a guy started singing at my table I’m never coming back to that casino
Isn't it time to add "A CrackinJacks Production" to the end credits?
Good point
People only call it big slick when it's in someone else's hand
Strip looks awful.
Had to tell my Lyft driver to get off the strip on the way to the airport.
U2 shows / F1 was a rough combo.
For me, AK seem to be 2 big cards that typically lose.

No Kayla makes for a "slow" vlog. 😂😂

He's a boss as he should
I'll never again go to Crimefrancisco
I mean if you jammed AQ on the river he’s never calling…
If he called the turn with ace high
He may have been calling expecting to beat AhQh or to chop.
@@cocoaguy2Its possible he would fold.
Obviously I wish I had done it. Though it’s still possible he’d have called.
The Anchorman never fails his fans. Thank you sir for your weekly fun!
He left that job
@@emt52889oh really? The Kolo8 website still says he is an Anchor so don't know what you are talking about.
F F1
club gg rake free? or?

Why oh why dint u continue to shove on the river with AQ when u bet every street madness to me
Love the vlogs Ben. I want you to finish that thought about having a table full of people younger than you is bad because?
You need to get out more. Everyone calls it Big Slick. But, if you lose with it, then it is referred to as Big Sick.
I have heard ‘big slick’ but less and less. I call it big stink. Enjoy Las Vegas, go Knights!
To weak Ben

I’m aware of that. Most of the other songs he did were Beatles. I just got that one on camera.
You always talk about 0/5/10 which I’ve never seen or heard of. What is the purpose of $0, wouldn’t it just be 5/10?
Yup just make it easier for everyone and make it 5/10
@@joyride1598ah, thanks for explaining
Big Slick in an old term. Do not here it much anymore
