Great session. I started playing seriously about 6 months ago and have been consuming all the poker content I can to improve my game. Your videos are incredibly helpful and entertaining! Keep up the great work 💯
I'm glad they're helpful to you, Tasty! I'm still learning myself and definitely make my fair share of mistakes, but watching my hands to put these vlogs together had really helped me to be honest with my play and improve. And we are definitely in some kind of golden era of poker vlogs, there are suddenly so many of them!
One thing I notice is, in Texas guys are not afraid to rip it all in. Here in Connecticut you have to grind for hours just to win a few hundred. All the vlogers I watch down there all make a killing. I'm definitely jealous 😩
Huggie!!!!! Now that's a session!!! Excellent lay down with the Jacks in my opinion as well. Had to lay down a set in my last session myself. Congrats on the climb as far as your goal goes as well. I know you'll make the 25k in no time! Just keep playing your game and I'll continue to take notes. My goal at this point is to simply make enough to get to play once a week until I get better at the game. My bet sizings have got a long way to go, but I'm learning alot. Keep up the great work brother and good luck at the tables!!!
Thanks, Ray! Laying down a set is hard, unless it's maybe a 4-to-a-straight/flush type of board, so good on you for making that lay-down (assuming it was correct). I think I can hit $25k soon, it just depends on how much time I get to continue playing since my time is pretty limited at the moment. Appreciate the sweat and kudos!
Mr. Huggie that was awesome you ran and played great glad for you hope I run good this weekend at legends poker room in Houston Texas absolutely great action here in Houston.
Hey, thanks John. Wishing you the best of luck this weekend, hope you kill it! The action in Texas is definitely the best -- haven't made it out to Houston to play yet myself, though.
Great day at the office, your best play IMO is 4 betting with AK. It is important to stay aggressive, he could easily fold hands with a ton of equity like TT and even JJ. Maybe not in Texas 😂. Raise that challenge!
Thanks, Doug. I'm still trying to get past that "scared money" feeling when I get deeper at these match-the-stack games. There may be something to be said for leaving and coming back later w/ a fresh starting stack if that feeling is too overwhelming.
Glad to see some rungood heading your way this 1-3 session. I do like your Jacks fold preflop. Even if you do call will you be able to get to the river or are you gonna get blown out of the water before that? Hard to know, but it was definitely a great great fold. Awesome win!
Glad the K6s worked out. I was definitely worried with the nut flush draw was out there with 2 callers. Not to criticize anyones play but I think the villain can fold jacks there vs 3 players… especially when your shove is pretty strong when you have the option to call and see a guaranteed turn
Yeah, the nut flush draw was my main concern at the table. I was least worried about the big stack having that based upon the action at the table, so I didn't mind getting it in vs. one of the smaller stacks potentially being on that draw since the loss would have been smaller vs. them. I _was_ surprised to see the overcall by the big stack in the end though, and I'm curious as to what he had since he mucked. My best guess is a smaller flush draw, or perhaps a pair+draw.
Left the lodge today after getting 1/4 erd and the bet in an all in ... better days ahead hope to see you there. I might be behind the rack dealing to you.
I definitely get what you mean on that jacks hand I had something similar happen where it would've been 3 way all in pre flop I had Queens but folded. Other 2 players had kings and aces. Queen on the flop and queen on the turn. Would've stacked both players with quads and scooped about a $1500 pot
Huggie I wouldn't announce your expert poker skills by asking about a "dead raise". Different casinos have different rules about this; I think the most common is that an all-in raise has to be at least 50% more than the last raise to be live. Great session and vlog as always!
Yeah, I haven't run into this scenario often enough at The Lodge to be sure what the ruling was. I believe it's 50% like you said now that I've run into it. I tried to keep the language neutral, although asking the question at all is going to have people make assumptions about my holding. It ultimately didn't matter what the answer to the question was since I pushed all-in, but it felt like vital information to know before making a decision. Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
I hadn't acted from the original bet yet (remember that I checked first and had no money in the pot at this point), so the dead raise didn't impact my choices. I still have the choice of folding, calling, or raising, just as I would in any hand. If I called though, whether or not the opponent's all-in was a dead raise would potentially impact what the original bettor behind me could do. In this case, if I just called, the original bettor would only be allowed to call, not come back over the top with another raise. I just wanted to be able to accurately determine my options before figuring out what to do.
You released a vlog 20 mins after I do where you win $2k?!?! No one’s gonna watch my stupid vlog now… Awesome session brother. I might be Texas-bound this summer. If so we need to do an episode together like Mariano and Rampage always do…except it won’t be a $5/$10/$25/$50 game and it will only garner 5% of the views they get, lol.
Hah! If it makes you feel better, this episode's not doing as well as they normally do. I think it's because Brad, Mariano, Rampage, and all the big time vloggers published theirs today too. 😅 _Definitely_ let me know if you head to Texas, I'm down for making that happen!
@13:56 you are making illegal string bet's The table has a betting line, you need to assemble your bet before the line before putting anything over the line. Unless you announce the amount of the bet, which I don't hear.
@@DM-wj3cd If your saying the lodge doesn't follow WPT or Offical Poker rules, sure if they bastardized standards. But since I doubt it, it's an illegal bet, it promotes angling so. bite a dick

03:26 Hahaha you luckboxed the crap out of that one! Nice hit Huggie! Love the play too that took some guts :)
Gotta get lucky sometimes! 😂
Great video. First time seeing the content and definitely subbed for more!
Awesome, thanks Michael! So glad you liked it!
Dude this rush your on just won't quit. Awesome keep it going
Let's hope it continues! I had one more big win at $1/3 since this session took place, but unfortunately haven't had time for more play beyond that.
One thing I notice is, in Texas guys are not afraid to rip it all in. Here in Connecticut you have to grind for hours just to win a few hundred. All the vlogers I watch down there all make a killing. I'm definitely jealous 😩
Like the thought processes through the hands. Nice job!
Thanks, Anderson, glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the energy of that dealer, good man.
I was on the edge of my seat! Nice session bro!
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, man!

That K6hh is just Juice!! :D & what a SunRun overall!!!
I've had some pretty great sessions out here in Texas! I don't think the same would be true if I were playing elsewhere.
Very nice session sir! I really enjoy watching you play and listening to your commentary. Keep up the great work!!!
Much success to you in the future!
Thanks, Mark!
Love your content!
Flushes made money in this episode^^ gg bro. Very nive session
Thank you for the video!!

Also, to your point about the challenge, I'm going to try to hit the $25k first before modifying it. Hopefully it happens soon!

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Folding jiggities was not easy, but I'm glad it to see it was the right move this time!

Getting quartered never feels good, but I suppose it's better than getting felted! Better luck next time, maybe I'll see you there!

Man, that stings. But you had a read and made a good fold! Just remember that next time you run into the same scenario.

@@HuggiePoker Forgive my ignorance, but why were you able to shove after the "dead raise" was confirmed? Why are you allowed to raise there?
I hadn't acted from the original bet yet (remember that I checked first and had no money in the pot at this point), so the dead raise didn't impact my choices. I still have the choice of folding, calling, or raising, just as I would in any hand.

@@HuggiePoker I understand now...thanks. So many situational idiosyncracies to this game I'm still learning.
Good way to go broke chasing that flush when you know you’re behind against two all ins.
Your hand spent a lot of time in the cookie jar this session
And magnificient hero fold with jacks!!!
Thanks, Boris!
Well done.
Thanks, Paul!
Teach me how to drill flushes
Step one, put on your luckbox shirt.
Can you send me the link where you got your card protector
Look up user "YorkshireDiamond" on Etsy, that's where my wife got it from as a gift.
@@HuggiePoker thank you so much. Will be in the area next Sunday. My wife is playing the live stream at 52 maybe will atop in at the lodge.
@@aceoholicspoker No worries! Who is your wife? I'll check out the stream! Best of luck to you both!
@@HuggiePoker she will be GLO she has played on the lodge ladies live stream before also.
@@aceoholicspoker Awesome, I'll be in the lookout.

_Definitely_ let me know if you head to Texas, I'm down for making that happen!
I suspect that you set of fours was up against AA.
It's possible. He also might have had a worse flush draw that got there.
Rather be lucky than good
Come back Hugs!

I announced the bet, it's just not audible in the video because of my voiceover.
Have you been to the Lodge lately? Rules have changed with respect to the betting line. You are incorrect
