Appreciate the shoutout! Can’t believe you remembered me back from Reno when I met you. As for getting an upgrade you could always ask the counter but the real trick would be to watch the upgrade list after they get awarded and see if any were pilots in uniform or pilots outside uniform wearing lanyard badges. Generally we fly for free so giving up an upgrade seat if someone asks is something most are willing to do since we are happy to just have a seat!
I wish I would’ve seen this vlog Saturday. Was down $150 after about 6 hours and decided to stay to get even. Ended up getting coolered twice and left down 2 buy ins (2k). “You don’t have to get even today “ godly advice my friend
Catching up on your videos once more. Even though the game was a losing one, you and Anna having fun on your trip to the Philippines was the big payday there! Also feel ya on the lack of legroom thing. 6'2" and basically leave each flight with numb legs. More the reason why I prefer bus travel but the Philippines isn't exactly close to me like Atlantic City is. 😅
Thanks for sharing some of the places you went to in the Philippines. I've gone a few times and absolutely love the place. I will have to check out the casino next time I visit.
Bohol is a great place to go in the Philippines! I lived there for about 6 months and I think that you hit most of the good places there. Thanks for sharing.
That is a very typical 25p-50p game in the Philippines! Glad you had a good visit for your 1st trip to the Philippines. Next time give it at least three weeks! Retired on the island of Cebu, we're getting the crazy rain from a typhoon going through Luzon 500 miles away. And being originally from San Francisco Bay Area and Las Vegas, typhoons ain't earthquakes! Typhoons scary! 😂
I'm 6'5". I always go up to the counter prior to boarding, stand up a tall as you can, make yourself look bigger than you really are, look really distressed, and ask very innocently if they would let you have an exit row seat because of how uncomfortable it is being your height. I get one about 50% of the time. I swear delta actually has me in their system now because I've asked so often, and they ALWAYS give me an exit row seat without ever asking.
@@jasonfullerton7763cool, the question was posed, “how do you get more comfortable as a 6’+ person without shelling out extra $$$” nobody didn’t know you can pay extra lmao
17:46 I lived my first 18 years living in Ubay, Bohol before deciding to join the US Marines. At 5’10” and weighing 122 lbs, oh how the Corps made me into a warrior. 👍 The journey was painful but worth it. I’m assuming Ana is from Loon. I’ve stayed there a few times with my childhood friend, the Relampagos clan. Hennan is a great resort. Love their buffet breakfast.
Hey Ben! My advice to you on the exit rows is to ask the flight attendant for an exit row, and you may get it for asking. There are added responsibilities when sitting in the exit row.
My wife and I fly from LAX - Manila yearly. Here's my strategy. I'm 6'2" and want that exit row seat as well. So I'm booking a Philippines Airline flight that does not have Premium Economy (it will have 1st Class, Business, and then Economy). Then I can snag Exit Row seats for $100 (my cost this past February), Love seeing your images from Bohol - did a LOT of those same things on our last trip there. So many more places to get to - Palawan, Boracay, Bagiuo, Siquihor, etc, etc, etc. Great stuff!
Played in Okada. They tend to play bigger and splashier at night. Had big winning sessions there. Next time, try Resorts World in Newport. Heading there in Nov.
Awesome flick brother! I love diving in the ocean. You ever snorkel??9r dive?? If u haven't u really need to. It's truly outstanding to see the endless aquatic ecosystem..!. Amor like Phuck!!
First poker vlog I have ever watched that I wished that the pre and post vlog would be longer. Seriously you go to the Philippine's for the first time and eat Italian?
With games like that and runbad to boot, I think skipping the poker tables and enjoy the sites...snorkel Subic Bay (Grande Island) or horseback riding in the rainforest (pit stops at waterfalls for s swim). Hope you guys have s great time and get you snd your son some flashy dragon jackets with all that cool embroidery! Not kidding! I wish I still had mine. Just an excuse to go back.
5:06 Hustler Casino in LA has a similar problem in that many chips of different denominations are predominantly white, rather than mostly red or green or yellow or black. Just pure idiocy.
I'm not tall, but I have bad knee problems. Not to sound Boujee but you really should just upgrade to Business for any international long haul. I live in Europe and fly to the States a few times per year. My knee is screaming after a flight in those small Economy seats. Business class is infinitely more comfortable, and if you time it well, not that much more expensive
You spoke highly of their last album when it first came out. I thought it was a little too "bouncy" like, way too soft and poppy. Song that would inspire you to "bounce" as opposed to mosh or head bang.
Why are you raising so small preflop? First the 3x open over a limp then the JU hand where 4-5 people limped and you only made it 300 OOP. Just wondering if the small preflop raises to get action from worse hands
It’s cool. You had to call with the jacks to find out. . In my opinion you won the hand for the value of the information. Probably not random move. They are playing like it’s a freeroll. Land mines everywhere.
First, thanks for sharing just a bit more than poker. Trip looks awesome. Second, I’m 6’3” and it looks like you already used my move of having g an aisle seat. 3rd, I just downloaded more Offspring. Thanks for the tip. 4th, you just are wrong on Goodfellas and Godfadder. Enjoy the days ahead.
since you went there, i have to speak up. i never comment/ but always "like" your posts... ill put it as simple as i can... cant compare Godfather 1 , good fellas, and casino... apples to oranges to pears... offspring still dexter n noodles?😂
Wow, very beautiful place to live. Of that was in america I’m sure there would be a large Amazon factory and a fracking rig right in the middle of the scenery.
Low limit games usually got the same regs passing time and when a new person comes in raising and playing serious they don’t like. They’ll do anything it takes to beat the newbie raiser! I like to adjust to them and keep it friendly and pretty straight forward, you’ll always get paid on your better hands and be like yeah I know that’d been a tough fold man…
I don't know about some of those hands, man. The casino should look into some sort of collusion between dealer and a couple of those players, the way those hands played out.
100 Philippine pesos = about $1.75. Wow that’s a small game! So your raise with AA was to about $2.60 😮 I would have such a hard time taking a game like this seriously.
Yeah I just got to the part where he bets 400 on the river and got curious so I looked up the exchange rate. That's like $7 and change. Or to use real values: an hour working at a burger shack, or 2 gallons of gas, or maybe 1/4 of a steak dinner. I knew the game would be small but dang. Although I wonder what 400 pesos gets you over there.
My Tagalog is pretty rusty.. I think dude said "You play poker like a big white suckafish", and other person responded, "Where did he come from the ocean?" 🐟😁
Pocket Aces = "American Airlines" Pocket Aces that get cracked = "Aerolinas Argentinas" Pocket Kings = "The cowboys" Pocket Kings that get cracked = "The Dallas Cowboys" Pocket Queens = "The ladies" Pocket Queens that get cracked = "Hillary and Chelsea"
If you're in a session where everyone limps and you know this, why not make it a huge raise? Instead of 300, make it 900? Kind of isolate and punish people with 2,5?
Great vlog Ben .. glad you're in Manila at last. Don't forget to go play at the Resorts World Casino, (directly opposite the airport, sited in the Holiday Inn, next door to McDonalds, and opposite the Hilton) for a really fun time. You may get a "super-star" reception there because your vlogs are always prevalent in conversations due to your honorary status as an adopted Filipino. Most people love how your poker vlogs also "blend-in" your hectic normal life. Regards to Ana too

They are down there crackin jacks

Wow, looks like an absolutely gorgeous casino. Hey, if you’re going to lose several thousand, it’s best to equal out to $86.
First poker vlog I have ever watched that I wished that the pre and post vlog would be longer. Seriously you go to the Philippine's for the first time and eat Italian?
Looks like this was the epitome of Asian poker. Bingo on the river.
Hello!!! Let’s go back the Manila and Play at Okada and City of Dreams near MOA
Filipinas are the best ☝️😃👍
Whatever you do, don’t upgrade to business class. You’ll never want to go back.
Offspring is horrendous for the way they treated Pete
What was the rake capped at? I've read the drop can be very high in the Philippines. Good video thanks for posting!

Wait tilllat 1hr during checkin. If available you can request.

Loved the b-roll!
Good fellas is a fun movie but come on people it’s not even a close comparison.
He definitely had that straight. Good fold. I knew you would.
That airline wasn't named after her daughter, it looks like a particularly painful act.😂
Extra leg room seats if you fly philippine air line
It’s cool. You had to call with the jacks to find out. . In my opinion you won the hand for the value of the information. Probably not random move. They are playing like it’s a freeroll. Land mines everywhere.
Philippine Air is cheaper than United. Check their first class and economy plus.
They have direct flights from lax to manila
Did you go to When We Were Young fest, Ben? Seems right up your alley.
Is this a poker vlog or a talk show with some poker 🤷♂️🤷♂️

We have the Americans to thank. 👍😆
You're god damn right.

Wow, very beautiful place to live. Of that was in america I’m sure there would be a large Amazon factory and a fracking rig right in the middle of the scenery.
Yes, all of the scenery in the US is blighted by industry. All of it, don't bother trying to find any.

welcome to Philippine
How was the local food?
What was the rake structure there?
It was not posted on the tables. And I didn’t feel like asking. Looked like a percentage of each pot
@@BenDeach nothing for nothing, you are the only poker clogger I watch consistently. Best wishes and run good.

Are the casinos in Manila smoking (🤢) or non smoking?
My Tagalog is pretty rusty.. I think dude said "You play poker like a big white suckafish", and other person responded, "Where did he come from the ocean?" 🐟😁
My wife is there i will be going December 17th
Freaking Great

So @bendeach - did the $86 loss get inputted into your Bink app? 😜? Great vlog, great trip. Now what country is the next poker destination in?
It did !
You're 6'4"!?
Did I stutter?
International

Tell them you be responsible for the doors in case of an emergency
lol 25/50peso game is equvalent to .43/.85 cent game
Nice video. Shame you lost $86.00. Get em next time

Very entertaining video, nice of you to contribute to the Philippino economy, $86 US goes alot further over there than it does here 😁

One of your best vlogs to date...!!! 💪🫵👍
*Thanx for sharing, fam... 😇
