@@DeletedDenizen I had some close people tell me they didn’t like him so I axed him. There have been a few people saying they liked him so he may make a comeback!!
TBH his production quality is pretty low especially for today's standards, but thats a good thing. Its how old school youtube videos used to be. The quality comes from the actual content of the video not the editing afterwards.
I have an answer for you: The reason 3-5, especially offsuit, is called "The slingshot" is because players who cold-call pre-flop raises with that hand got hit in the head as children by a rock, apple or some other item launched from a slingshot, thus explaining their play of this objectively terrible hand. 2 videos in, and the quality of your low-stakes poker analysis is unmatched by any other vlogger. I've recommended your channel to every aspiring player I know, including my own poker students. Keep up the great work!
Man I've been excited for this. Watching I was telling myself "go all in man" on that straight you ended up folding (before I saw he went all in) and it really made me realize we're just not the same as I would have gotten wrecked with that hand 😂😂 very nice fold. Yesterday I was telling myself "part 2 of the series should be coming out soon"... what a gift, best of luck with the next session big man
Some of the best poker content i've watched this year. Pretty much on par with Daniel's WSOP vlogs, from a viewer's point of view. Cant wait for episode 3!
The intro resonated to me as I've had something similar, called it quits at about '14. GF turned into a wife, two kids, completed university and landed in a decent job. Wasn't quite as successful as you but managed to scrape together about a 100k USD at small stakes cash games playing a some hundreds of hours a year. Eventually came to the same conclusion as you though and focused on the family. I've always felt that I didn't fully exhaust my potential and occasionally have similar thoughts that it's now or never. Did login into my old PS account the other day to see that it's not quite as busy as it used to be. It's unfortunate that many countries passed legislation to segregate their markets out of global player pool and I guess the golden days have passed. But I've to say now that I'm approaching 40, that the teachings from poker, the importance of decision making and the process, avoiding result oriented thinking and the ability to withstand emotional pressure is great benefit in the "standard" business environment as well. But anyway, liked and subscribed already after the first vid. I'll be rooting for you and greetings from Finland!
Thanks so much! Yes very similar stories, and I wholeheartedly agree, the lessons poker has taught me are so valuable and I’ve been able to apply them to many areas of my life as well. Thanks for watching, cheers!
The editing in these videos is so clean. It's really exciting being a passenger on your YT journey. I feel like a kid again watching the early days of Brad Owen's channel and subsequent growth.
As a guy who plays 1/2 and 2/5 live for fun, these videos have definitely been some of the most enlightening and relevant I have seen on youtube. Hope to see more great content soon!
Another great video, your in depth analysis is second to none in low stakes poker and I hope you continue this journey as I will be along for the whole ride
You quickly become one of my favorite poker vloggers. You thought process on that straight fold was actually insane and I can’t ever see myself doing that. Good plays!
He led big and gets jammed on . That’s a pure fold all day at these stakes lol . Hard to fold a straight through 🤷♂️ if the board didn’t pair I would snap call imo
Thanks for being willing to vlog from the cheap seats. I wish you much success. The game has changed so much in the last decade. 10 years ago, I was crushing the small stakes as a pretty solid rec player when I would go to Vegas. Dealers were telling me under their breath that I was really killing it. Now, with all the solvers and live content, jeez, I gotta tell you I don't know if it's ALL skill, or some amount of variance and downswing, but I seem to get my ass handed to me at every table when I go to Vegas. People are just better than they used to be. I look forward to seeing where your return to poker takes you.
This channel is amazing, so glad I found it! Please keep uploading more videos like this! I feel like you explain your thought process much better than other poker blog channels, and I feel like I can follow your thought processes which I like
Loving it man. I watch a few other vlogs and there are often times I feel I would have made a different play but almost all your decisions are the ones I would make. Looking forward to seeing what you do!
I’ve been waiting to learn more about you since your first episode!! I was once very into poker in 2007-2009. And just started playing poker again this year.
Loved your first video. 1/2 is what I play and I want to learn from guys like you. Probably one of the best 1/2 vloggers on RUclips. I have been told that if you make 30$/hr playing 1/2 then you're doing something right.
Tell corey to upload already! Great video. Just spun up my first 25 dollar deposit to about 450 then lost it all over a few weeks of play. Killed my motivation. You talking about how you lost your first few shots has helped me renew that motivation to try again. Great video. Great breakdowns. Good luck out there
Ok I’ve watched so many poker RUclips videos and in my opinion you are the best one by far I’m only two episodes in and I’m watching every one I can’t wait to play my local game and use some of your strategies in my game
Props for folding that straight on the paired board at a 1/2 game. A lot of these guys would be shoving there with just random trips, well done on gathering your info and making the correct fold
I agree. Being at a talkative fun table is best. If I'm at a silent table, I'll try to get it going. If no one engages, I leave. Even if I'm talking, I pay attention nonchalantly.
Wow. Two Eyrings to watch on RUclips. Both fascinating for different reasons. Well Done Kevin, glad to see you building up your channel again and getting back to it, after years of taking a step away to prioritize extremely important things! (Congrats on marriage and fatherhood).
Your first video popped up on my feed a couple weeks ago, watched it and was surprised when I heard someone else was also in NH, in the seacoast area. Love the videos and keep up the good work!
Thank you for showing some spots where you give up. I know those hands might not be as interesting for the video, but just spending a few seconds showing a hand where you gave up helps me and keeps the video more relatable.
That turned straight vs 8s full on the river was crazy - I don't think I would've be able to get away from that. Looked to me a lot like a missed draw or a baby straight.
@@kevin.eyring Play suggests to me they're stabbing at what they think is dead money when you don't cbet as preflop aggressor. I didn't see at all how they could check through two streets of value there, the J on the turn would slow me down, but at the turn only Q T, 6 7, pocket 8s, 9s or 5s make a hand that beats top 2 pair, everything else is drawing and if I were the villain I would be betting to charge those drawing hands- River just makes it even less likely they have an 8 when they checked flop and turn. Kudos to you. Good read.
Another great video! I would love to see you publishing a dedicated shorter video explaining EV and all that calculation you went over in your last video. Keep it up man! Great work!
@@DaniloAlvarenga-g9k thank you!! interesting idea. I may try that. We’ll see. Takes a lot of time to make these so even though it would be a shorter video, it would delay the longer ones.
You're better at explaining your logic then most, and I appreciate that. I hope you get all the youtube moneys. (Although I suspect that this is a good way for you to self analyze your hands and improve your game).
Great mix of your history and your present plans for the future goals. I must say I feel inspired to take the leap on a project . Until a few years ago poker was simply a fun online 1 maybe 2 table drinks session. Started to study and take the game seriously, and am finding small successes for a part-time online grinder. I'm starting to look into live tournaments and was on the fence about making some vlogs for them. I should have my first one out before the new year.
Thanks so much! I’ve got the footage for the next two in the chamber so I’ll be working on one at a time and will get them out asap. Unfortunately it probably going to be similar wait times between videos.
Seeing you cash out for a >100bb profit is a good lesson. Sometimes I have a difficult time leaving when I'm up. In a lot of sessions I'll swing up over 300-500bb, and then play too long and stack off down to breakeven or a loss. It's hard to set a ~100bb goal when you see a couple racks in front of you almost every night, but I think it's important even if it's less exciting.
It would say it’s even tougher leaving when you’re slightly down. It’s easy to leave when you’ve lost a lot, because there’s an existential force telling you to do so. When you’re down 25bb, it’s very difficult to leave because you’re basically giving up and deciding to lose that day, whereas the former that decision has kind of been made for you.
@@kevin.eyring Yeah it's hard to time your exits on your own terms. I guess it's a discipline thing. Sometimes I try to set a profit goal, but I don't think that's realistic for a game of variance. A lot of the time I leave when I start to feel tired or bored. If I catch myself zoning out, I try to make it my last orbit. I'm working on it!
@@toddfromwork8931 that’s how I do it. Once I start to feel like I’m tired or not playing well then I’ll leave. Ideally it will be before I feel like that though lol
Love videos, back in the early 90’s we had some illegal poker games in East tn. I did really well. They dissolved up. Did the online til it dissolved up. But now have casino 15 minutes away just waiting for the poker rooms to open. Good luck on your quest.
The fold with QTs is impressive to me because he aint go no sets when we arrive on the turn and it's a lil bit surprising that he played so passively his top two so to me we always have the best of if ! Not always as we can see so very very nice fold mate !
if you pause at exactly 1 min. One can see, u made all the right decisions. Well played man. :) ...but, i was looking forward to your second vid. The first one made me instant subscribe- there is someting i can learn here. so thx for that.
@@kevin.eyring This is the first year that I’m silencing that voice. Every spare moment at whatever $1/3 I can find. I’ll see you in Vegas next May for the WSOP. Thanks for the encouragement brother.
Bro, I love that you showed the 2 hitting the river and the other guy with the 10,4 LMAO.. thats so standard whenever 'm playing live games at the casino.. people completely going crazy making me fold my mediocre hand only to then hit on the next street and find out they went crazy with middle pair
Another great video man. You are already one of the best poker vloggers on RUclips, Way better than that Corey guy lol. Would love to see a tournament vlog from you soon!
I totally connect with your video I very to retire from poker when you do it for over 10 year. It still always back in my mind. Same situation dad now I cannot make the jump anymore tuff decision bro. Definitely going to follow your journey good luck. I have old video on my channel too . Take care
A bit curious at the end of the video you left a tip in the basket 👍 are you factoring in taking tips out of the money won on the session and overall profit/loss bankroll totals? Another 🔥 video!
Thank you! I do not count tips. I mainly tip $1/hand no matter how small, and a little larger on big pots, and leave something for the cage at the end of the session. For example: if I buyin for $300, cash out for $504, but I’ve tipped $20 over the course of the session, the $20 tips at the table is already accounted for, and $4 goes in the basket for the cage, leaving $200 profit. That make sense?
19:03 Can you explain to me what such small betsize on this river accomplishes in this hand? I would assume that you should bet bigger to fold out Qx, especially a somewhat decent Qx with a spade in his hand. Your opponent only having check called the turn and checking the river seems very capped to a Qx holding at best (because if he had a flush or better he would have put more money in on either the turn or river) I know by your opponent's speech on the river that he isn't strong (because acting strong means weak) but still i think a bigger bet on the river to let him fold Qx is necessary. Your thoughts? Nice vlog. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I didn’t think he was going to fold a queen. I could have went for a very large bet to try and accomplish that, but you gotta be careful trying to get people off top pair at 1/2.
Glad you like them! There will be more but unfortunately with a full time job and a family, time is limited to work on these. Good news is this one took a month to produce and I should get more efficient over time!
Honestly I have to say you're a better story teller than your brother. None of the fake drama just good narrative and good poker. Good luck on your journey and looking forward to the next one.
That card club forgot The Cincinnati Kid poster with Steve McQueen. An all-time classic. Rounders is great, but can't forget the early classics! Maverick is another great watch with Mel Gibson, James Garner, Jodi Foster, and lots of other colorful riverboat gamblers....and the 'river' which is where you lose and end up over the rail and in the drink; hence the term 'river' ('turn' is from the 'bend'). Riverboat card games were the cheaters "bread and butter", but to get away once the mechanic was caught they often only had that one extreme option for escape. 🤠💦..."Moist it is fellas! Come and get me...the water's warm! 💨Wheeeeee!".
Your vlog and hand analysis & explanation is superior to all others! You should do a poker math hand in each video where you do a super deep dive in the math on one hand like you did in the first video….my brain is still over clocked trying to understand that 😂
Really good! I felt like there was a bit on the screen though, have a look at four bet blind, I think his editing is really good! Though I love the stack sizes as t the top!
I'm interested to see if you're also gonna play tournements. I love the content and it would be interesting to hear your thought when playing tourmenent.

The fold with QTs is impressive to me because he aint go no sets when we arrive on the turn and it's a lil bit surprising that he played so passively his top two so to me we always have the best of if ! Not always as we can see so very very nice fold mate !
@@treezypokerr thank you!
I think the turtle was a good luck charm last time. Great video Kev !!!
@@sarahvee9498 thank you! The turtle may make a comeback in the future.
Ah there u go! Prob the best production out there atm!
Thank you!!
Great fold on the straight hand - I would have had a hard time folding that hand against these players. You've got yourself a new subscriber sir!
@@connie8775 thank you so much!
Great stuff. love the explanations of choice. Keep em coming. Gonna watch this all the way
@@TALEHOUSETVUK thank you!!

Thanks! Glad you got some value!
Hope to see more. Family makes life busy but excited to see more videos more often if it fits your schedule. Good stuff.
@@adayinthelifeofme5940 thank you! Yes family takes time and priority but we can still make this work! Glad you’re enjoying them.
been waiting for this so helpful and educational while also telling a story
Thank you!
Great content. Amazing!!! looking forward to the next video...
Thank you!!
“Why can’t I,” has been screaming in my head for years.
Well, why can’t you?
@@kevin.eyring This is the first year that I’m silencing that voice. Every spare moment at whatever $1/3 I can find. I’ll see you in Vegas next May for the WSOP.
Thanks for the encouragement brother.
You Eyring Men know how to out stuff together ❤. Great video brother.
Thanks so much!
2nd vlog was great as well. Looking forward to number 3
Awesome, thank you!
you are my favorite poker vlogger by a mile bro
@@Laibani103 thank you!! So glad to hear it!
Story telling and Hand analysis is great 👍 thanks Kev
@@AyooKidfresh thanks so much!
The editing is phenomenal and engaging. Great content.
@@steveliao9380 thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
Thanks ! Great read of cards! Waiting on E3!
Thank you!!
Bro, I love that you showed the 2 hitting the river and the other guy with the 10,4 LMAO.. thats so standard whenever 'm playing live games at the casino.. people completely going crazy making me fold my mediocre hand only to then hit on the next street and find out they went crazy with middle pair
@@StarkVandalez glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching
Another great video man. You are already one of the best poker vloggers on RUclips, Way better than that Corey guy lol. Would love to see a tournament vlog from you soon!
lol, thank you!! Tournaments are definitely in our future.
At last someone who knows what they are doing. Well done you!!
Thank you!
Yes the next episode been waiting for this one
Working on the next one!
Watching an Eyring building up a bankroll instead of punting away all of their money is a refreshing sight
@@captainbob950 glad you’re enjoying it!
we're on the same story arc, see you in Vegas next year Kevin! GL.
Good luck to you too, see you soon!
I totally connect with your video
I very to retire from poker when you do it for over 10 year. It still always back in my mind. Same situation dad now I cannot make the jump anymore tuff decision bro. Definitely going to follow your journey good luck. I have old video on my channel too . Take care
@@therealdonkasian thanks so much! Best of luck with the family.
A bit curious at the end of the video you left a tip in the basket 👍 are you factoring in taking tips out of the money won on the session and overall profit/loss bankroll totals? Another 🔥 video!
Thank you! I do not count tips. I mainly tip $1/hand no matter how small, and a little larger on big pots, and leave something for the cage at the end of the session. For example: if I buyin for $300, cash out for $504, but I’ve tipped $20 over the course of the session, the $20 tips at the table is already accounted for, and $4 goes in the basket for the cage, leaving $200 profit. That make sense?
19:03 Can you explain to me what such small betsize on this river accomplishes in this hand?
I would assume that you should bet bigger to fold out Qx, especially a somewhat decent Qx with a spade in his hand.
Your opponent only having check called the turn and checking the river seems very capped to a Qx holding at best (because if he had a flush or better he would have put more money in on either the turn or river)
I know by your opponent's speech on the river that he isn't strong
(because acting strong means weak) but still i think a bigger bet on the river to let him fold Qx is necessary.
Your thoughts?
Nice vlog.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you! I didn’t think he was going to fold a queen. I could have went for a very large bet to try and accomplish that, but you gotta be careful trying to get people off top pair at 1/2.
@@kevin.eyring 👍👍👍👍
Your videos are one of the most educational videos for me thank you, waiting for next videos. (Dont keep us wait 1 month pls xD)
Glad you like them! There will be more but unfortunately with a full time job and a family, time is limited to work on these. Good news is this one took a month to produce and I should get more efficient over time!
10 4 is my favorite hand too. In high school, we used to get extra money winning with it, so it always stuck.
@@BBob33524 it’s fun to add games like that. Makes the game interesting.
Keep these coming! Thanks.
Will do! Thank you!
Are you Corey’s older brother?! 😮
He is
@@keithisjesus And the apple fell quite far from the tree :P
Yes
Great video again. And great fold with that straight. Really enjoying your vlogs. Hopefully I get to play a session with you in the future.
@@RonEngrassia thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them, hope to see you there!
@k.eyring I'll be upbthat way for a couple weeks for Christmas. Hopefully I'll get to play some poker then.
Can't wait for the next video
Thank you!!
I wish there were more vids I could watch these all day!
@@joedreadnz me too! They’re in the works, glad you like them!
@ Awesome I can’t wait, great job so far 😄
@@joedreadnz thank you!
17:24 is it just the camera on the table or was that table bump a bit obnoxious?
@@Dillydooder he got a little excited about winning the hand. He apologized, even though I didn’t think he needed to.
@@kevin.eyring Understandable. We've all been there!
Honestly I have to say you're a better story teller than your brother. None of the fake drama just good narrative and good poker. Good luck on your journey and looking forward to the next one.
@@nicholi2789 thank you very much!
Corey is a trip
Great videos man. Just found your channel. Really enjoyed it.
@@bccsivxx-xxivvii thanks so much!
That card club forgot The Cincinnati Kid poster with Steve McQueen. An all-time classic. Rounders is great, but can't forget the early classics! Maverick is another great watch with Mel Gibson, James Garner, Jodi Foster, and lots of other colorful riverboat gamblers....and the 'river' which is where you lose and end up over the rail and in the drink; hence the term 'river' ('turn' is from the 'bend'). Riverboat card games were the cheaters "bread and butter", but to get away once the mechanic was caught they often only had that one extreme option for escape. 🤠💦..."Moist it is fellas! Come and get me...the water's warm! 💨Wheeeeee!".
I’ve never seen the Cincinnati Kid, guess I’ll have to add that to my watch list!
It was tough waiting an entire month for the second video. However, given the high quality, I think I can handle the wait.
Thank you so much! I’m really doing my best with what I’ve got here.
Your vlog and hand analysis & explanation is superior to all others! You should do a poker math hand in each video where you do a super deep dive in the math on one hand like you did in the first video….my brain is still over clocked trying to understand that 😂
@@Jordan-dr9hq thank you! I will try to include more in the future!
Really good! I felt like there was a bit on the screen though, have a look at four bet blind, I think his editing is really good! Though I love the stack sizes as t the top!
Thank you! I will check his out
I'm interested to see if you're also gonna play tournements. I love the content and it would be interesting to hear your thought when playing tourmenent.
I absolutely will be in the future. My end goal is to get back to the big tournaments. Will be a lot of fun discussing and analyzing those!
Love it homie, got the bell on for when you drop another
Thank you!
