Hi Brad, I keep learning with you... I just wanna tell you that in my opinion on AJ for me is the worst hand in tournaments unless the straight comes haha.
"that would be a gangster sizing for 7-2" haha! Love it! Great vlog Brad and congratulations on meeting a goal you have set for yourself many years ago. You are an inspiration!
@@coreyfranco7060when you're taking a shot, being down that much is pretty draining. Still not as bad as a random Lodge stream punt, but those games are haymaker sessions anyway.
Congrats Brad! You deserve it! Your videos inspired me to get back into poker after a long hiatus and have improved my game so much over the last few years. Thanks for all the amazing content over the years!
Phenomenal session, Brad. You played out of your skin towards the end. That TT river shove was a great bet, realistically the only thing you could have done in that spot. To book a win after being down so much is not something Brad from a few years back would have been able to do, I don't think. Your tourney skills are translating over to cash really well! Proud of you pal, you're out there living most of our dreams!
Love the way you can just casually throw in some solid jokes. I appreciate the Home alone one @23:30. One of the best scenes in the movie in my opinion haha
Crazy awesome session Brad, it was really cool to see you kinda awestruck like a ton of us poker players are when we see our poker idols, or get to play at the same table. That’s why I love that you do meetup games and I can’t wait until you come to the east coast hopefully more often so I can finally cross your name off at the top of my list! Congrats man!
The deadpan delivery on so many of the comedic lines is so good, and timed so well. I hadn't watched for a while but still as impressive as ever. With that delivery Brad could tour in the UK.
One of the things I can always say about you Brad , is your such a transparent and honest player ! A lot of people hate on you but you show your WINS & most importantly your losses . I think it is why I’m always tuning in . GREAT VLOG TODAY AND GOOD RUN BROTHA !
Thank you!!! I've been looking for someone to correct him and I was shocked at how long it took me to find another sane individual in this comment section haha
More important than ranges, position, reverse implied odds... is knowing how to play your local Paul. There's one everywhere, and they're pretty much all the same. Nice job. - Paul
It's one of those spots where you think to yourself, this is an amazing spot to check raise bluff, but it's so difficult to actually pull the trigger. Huge respect to Brad for that play!
@@volleyballerPETE Many flushes will, in fact, fold in that situation. Perhaps not the nut flush, maaaaybe K high flush hero calls but all flushes below that are very likely folding.
Brad as a hardcore online .25/.5 - .5/1, that 72o bluff specifically the river small bet and not the overbet or pot bet was absolutely genius, even more impressive in that table with opponents playing loose and calling station like micros .01/.02 or .05/.10 and knowing that u are on the big table make it greater. U opened my mind a lot with that play, thanks for all Brad❤
Man, I remember reading AKAD religiously. Lost track of MM a while back, but it's good to see he's still in the game and apparently thriving. Seemed like an awesome dude.
Player A has Q club and J club and Player B has Q diamond and J diamond, the dealer's hand is Q spade, J spade, Q hearts, 2 club and 3 diamond, both players have Q house, who is the winner?
Hey Brad. Love your stuff and it has absolutely improved my game using some of your thoughts and strategies. I'm wondering if you're ever going to do a meet up in Blackhawk, Colorado. The monarch casino has a giant poker room and there are others in their city. It's also a beautiful city.
I've been out there a few times to Ameristar and Golden Gates. I haven't been to Monarch yet, but I'm sure I'll make it there eventually. Maybe in the spring when the Giants play the Rockies.
@@BradOwenPoker man, thanks for responding. I started watching your stuff about 8 months ago and I really enjoy it. I play at Ameristar mostly when I'm up there but they made the Monarch into a pretty big room now so that's why I mentioned them because I'm sure a ton of people would show up. I'll keep watching and it'll be pretty cool if you end up coming up that way. I'll definitely be there. Thanks again for getting back..
Wow...! Nice comeback, Brad! Love your vids...stakes like these are way above my pay grade, so definitely enjoy playing vicariously through you...and there are always a few good laughs! Keep up the strong work!!
Glad you got to play with Art Parmann. He’s an original player from our old 1/2 and 2/5 game back in VA back when he was just 18 years old. Hell of a player.
Played at the Aria this past year for my first and only time ever playing live poker. Got taken to the bank for a few hundred but love to see Brad getting all the Bradley dollars he can!
This was easily one of my favorite vlogs. Fun to compare with the Lodge high stakes games, could see the high level play here without some of the insane wild west plays and 6-figure pots. What a grind.
I love your content and I have implemented a lot of your teachings and reasoning behind certain decisions but I play against a lot of recreational players and is very hard to play the "correct" way and be profitable since they have no idea why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Watching brad on a regular has really helped my game. Infact just last night i was invited to a casual $1/2 game i was down $300 at one point due to variance but i was able to keep my mental and focus on lessons learned from brad. I made an $1100 swing to get back in the black, including an $800 double board bomb pot to close out the night.
Once again; your narration is the best in all RUclips. Seriously. Love your content. Keep it up, Brad. ...my dream is to be a full-time poker player. I'm in Oklahoma and play almost daily out here, but nothing big. Lots of online play as well. 45 year old combat-wounded disabled veteran just trying to take it one day at a time. Thanks for the inspiration, brother.
38:43 you showed your stack and said you were finally unstuck and 800 over I definitely thought that was the last hand. Then you said we're not done Complete chills What a rollercoaster ride man My heart was pounding even though the stakes were all yours Love watching you play
You're absolutely right about ups and downs swings in poker at least you came out on top and that's a very long poker session gets some rest brad keep the contents coming!!!
I knew around what time it was during the session by the narration of the story lol. From the multiple shuffling of players in and out to the playing short handed, glad this still happens even at the highest of stakes.
I think I remember you showing table 1 when it was still the Ivey room in a vlog a long time ago and you said how you’d love to play there... amazing to see how far you’ve come🙌🏼
Wow what an incredible vlog Brad! I mentioned in one of your earlier vlogs how much heart you have even though it wasn't a winning session. This one showed that you have maintained a big heart and having 100% of yourself I'm sure felt very gratifying! I'm very happy for all the success you have had in poker and creating an awesome channel that continues to grow! I'm 100% confident you will continue to work hard and I'm very excited to see what the future has in store for you!
Congratulations on coming ahead after a long grind and congratulations for grinding and working as hard as you have to be able to play in games like this. Very happy for you and happy to continue following your journey
Brad, that (12:00) 7-2 $1700 river value bluff into $3800 was surreal. I was doing what I usually do, playing the hand out along with you street by street, trying to make my decisions before you revealed what you did. I keeled over when I said $1700 on the river to myself, and then you did the exact same thing! It makes a part-time $2-5 player who can’t sustain a bankroll feel pretty good about himself, if only for a moment!
That ten of spades graphic on the river was hilarious. Love the way you integrate quiet comedy into your vlogs.
Haha that was more out of necessity
Went over my head can you explain🤣
where was it
Hi Brad, I keep learning with you...
I just wanna tell you that in my opinion on AJ for me is the worst hand in tournaments unless the straight comes haha.
Wait that was CG? Damn I didn't notice until you mentioned it. Technology has gone a long way.
"that would be a gangster sizing for 7-2" haha! Love it! Great vlog Brad and congratulations on meeting a goal you have set for yourself many years ago. You are an inspiration!
Thanks a lot Chance
That was a SICK 7-2 value bluff
Yeah thats crazy i was sure the opponent had queen😂
Honestly that was perfectly sized, looking at that pot, if someone was sitting there with weird pocket pair
What a great game! Thanks to the table for allowing Brad to capture some of the action. This was a great vlog. Congrats on the win, Brad!
Can we take a moment for this man. He was down 17000 dollars and battled himself up to over 5000 dollar profit. Well played.
spoiler alert!!!
Its the equivalent of being stuck 200 in a 1-2 game

It's fantastic you can hold your own in a game this high, in a room like this. Congrats, Brad!
Haven’t finished just yet, but so far it seems like you’re having the best time in this game. Love to see it!
It was definitely the most fun I've had playing high stakes
@@BradOwenPoker glad to see you booked a win too, it seemed like such a unique table atmosphere and I feel like you read the table well

Thanks a lot Jeff
been watching for a little over a year, by far the best video i’ve seen, loved the length, loved the quality, keep it up brad
Love the way you can just casually throw in some solid jokes. I appreciate the Home alone one @23:30. One of the best scenes in the movie in my opinion haha
Great jokes as always, except it was a swing and a miss with the Sandlot joke! Smalls asked, “how can we have s’more?” Not squints! Lol

Superb session. Fantastic that you both had a great time and climbed back to profitville.
Let's go Brad. Love watching your videos. Always look forward to Mondays.
Thanks Isaiah
The 7-2 game needs to make a comeback, I feel like it's way better than the stand up game.
I like it more than the standup game as well
What’s the stand up game ?
@@marklangston7011the nit game -last one to win a pot pays everyone
@@marklangston7011all the players have to stand up and can’t sit back down until they win a pot
I know the game is good if they’ve got both running lol

Holy cow, Table 1!…congrats Brad, well done and good luck in the next one!🍀

What a session!

FAR AND AWAY the best episode as we approach 300
Does he ever, Coach. Impossible for me not to pull for him
More important than ranges, position, reverse implied odds... is knowing how to play your local Paul. There's one everywhere, and they're pretty much all the same. Nice job.
- Paul
Your roller coaster foreshadowing at the beginning was genius. 😂
One of your best. I like it when you start, immediately go way down and then struggle back.
Those tend to be my favorite sessions as well, especially when it's in a high stakes arena.
Love the 10,5 hand where you transformed 2 pair into a bluff. Played it like a full house with the “full house check” on the turn.
That 10/5 hand was crazy cuz he tried to get 7/2 through .... and it nearly worked 😂
What hands he folding out with that raise tho, he ain’t folding out a flush
It's one of those spots where you think to yourself, this is an amazing spot to check raise bluff, but it's so difficult to actually pull the trigger. Huge respect to Brad for that play!
@@volleyballerPETE Many flushes will, in fact, fold in that situation. Perhaps not the nut flush, maaaaybe K high flush hero calls but all flushes below that are very likely folding.
@@Joel-js2gk very much doubt u play a fullhouse like this, check turn and check river.
This is awesome to see. Been watching for years.
Can’t thank you enough for sharing Table 1 with us, feel like I booked a winner too. Great session, way to grind it out.

only 13 minutes in so idk how this is going to end up, but gotta say playing at table1 and getting one through with 72 is mission accomplished!

Spoiler shield.
Brad your a huge inspiration brotha! Every time I watch you make me want to go get a sesh in ! Congrats on 270

Timestamp?

nobody cares cupcake, this video is not about where you play
What a beautiful way to start the day. A Brad own vlog hell yes!!!! 🙌
The Monday lunch schedule just hits some type of way. 🏆
Awesome stuff Brad. I think you're almost ready the blood match at Teddy KGB's place.
Great vlog as always Brad. That seven deuce off suit bluff was epic. Way to go man keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot, it was a fun session with a good group of guys
This was a really good one, some great swings. As always you keep it together mentally. Keep it up brother
what a session.. well played Brad!
These long videos are great --- I work from home (like most of us now).... and watch you in the background all day... the more the better..... go wild
Yet another important turning point in Brad's hero arc. Do for the average joe slaving away at their warehouse job. Do it for the ones who never will!
This was easily one of my favorite vlogs. Fun to compare with the Lodge high stakes games, could see the high level play here without some of the insane wild west plays and 6-figure pots. What a grind.
Excellent ‘home alone’ reference there 😂

In small stakes, it's best not to bluff. People call too much. Just have it against those types of people. Bet bigger and go for value thinner.

I recovered from a very similar situation to come up on an $800 double board bomb pot at a 1/2 game. I had nut str8 on both boards

I feel like you have improved greatly over the last 2 years. Another great video.

What a roller coaster of a session!
Never seemed that Phil Ivey really cared much about Iveys room. Never really spoke about or supported it. Saw it as a tribute to him I guess.
He just cares about stacking people
Congrats on the win and hanging in there!!
Nice comeback Brad, way to stick it out.
Awesome game. 711k subs. So stoked for you Brad. One of the best poker vlogs on YT and I think most people would agree.
Oh man! not little white board?
Haha it takes a surprisingly long time to write on the whiteboard; I skipped it for this episode. It'll be back though.
Great episode Brad. Paul was funny pushing you all day and made for great poker watching. Kudos on Table 1. You've come so far in the last few years.
That 7-2 earned respect from the whole table.
What a grind. Glad you persevered and came out with the win.
