I wish I could've recorded the last hand, but I at least got a pic and posted it on my Instagram: instagram.com/yayandrew/
Andrew Neeme Hi Andrew just a quick question with the straight flush hand. Can we ever raise on pre river or is it just unbalanced as do we ever bluff vs sb player given the dynamic? Also keep up the good work!
@ah17293 i know you asked mr neeme but let me answer this. well on the flop things become complicated with the checkraise. if the SB leads out and you have a caller in between its actually pretty good option to raise all your nutflush, some of your combos and a high flush draws. the later may even work as a stop min reraise. however the checkraise makes stop raises impossible so your range to raise is much tighter. so in this situation its better on the flop to just call to keep ranges wide. on the turn however i would even see here a good point of raising. thing is in a 3 way pot with 3 clubs the river will almost always kill the action for at least one of your oponents. this was a very special outcome with that massive fish, but normaly you wont get any morey from 2 pair anymore, you usually have one player with either a lower flush (which can easy fold on a 4th club) and or one with a flush draw that either hits or folds. lets think of all hand combos (i list a hand each oponent) flush / flush flush/flushdrw straight/flush set or 2pair /flush set or 2 pair /flushdrw set or 2pair / set or 2pair straight/straight maybe option for a flush - now except the set /set situation you will always loose either the draw or the made hand (except superfish ofc but here it aint matter) in either case if another club comes or not. sets on the other hand are likely to call a small raise on the turn almost always, will most of the time fold the river anyway and will always pay you off if the board pairs. so yes best would have been a small raise on the turn in that situation. king high might fold here (as he did on the river) but maybe not. its easier to fold it on the paired board. but in most constealltion this is a much better play since you normaly wont get a bet / call action in that constellation that often. that requires a special kind of fish. most rivers at that board would be check / check / bet / fold / call or fold. sometimes check bet raise fold /fold or call. as for balance i aint see much of a problem here. with the weakness smaller betsizing form SB a raise with s a straight (amybe with a draw), smaller flushes and the nut flush draw is not unusual. in contrary, andrew actually narrowed his range to either strght flush/fullhouse or nutflush. 3 times just call then raise showed much more strengh than lets say a raise on the turn. no small flush or straight would now raise the river that could raise the turn
Andrew tells us his decisions, and reasons for his decisions every crucial hand. He gives us his to the dollar vlog statistics, then invites us to come play with him when he and Brad Owen organize poker room meet ups. Favorable Fucking Fella. NEEME 2020
Really appreciate your channel after finding it earlier tonight. Appreciated in all aspects. The breakdowns, story telling and also the quality of the editing. A lot of ppl don’t understand how much work goes into editing videos this long, especially with the different shots and b roll that you mix in. Your videos have that Neistat feel and he’s the best of the best in the storytelling, editing, etc. world. Well done brother, you’ve got me as a subscriber for life. Excited to see where this takes you. Take care man.
Nothing better then a quick vlog in between my heavy workload. The podcast is the perfect length for my car drive home. The Neeme-family is taking over my break-time in general :) Keep that content coming :) and thanks in advance!
Thank goodness, what a life saver. I've been limping along, trying to exist on the crumbs from Trooper and PokerKraut. This is like finding an oasis in the desert or a buxom babe in the last chance saloon. I'm truly grateful.
Seth Bowman .... lmao gawd aren't his videos funny despite how goofy he is. It's almost funny to watch him stroll and complain about everything and watch him lose every single day.
Andrew, I have watched a ton of your videos and enjoy them all. I am in the process of going back through and catching any that I may have missed. Keep making the awesome videos, they are the best! Thanks for the well thought out videos, you always put a ton of work into them and it shows!
Best vlog yet. No drone necessary! Made the decision right before the straight flush hand commentary and that was just cake. I appreciate the effort to create the best content!
Andrew...I met you last week at Belagio...it was truly an honor to meet my favorite vlogger on youtube...let me tell all you fans...Andrew was super kind and generous enough to take a few mins away from his game to chat with me...wishing you all the best...hope to see you soon at Seneca Niagara and or Del Lago here in upstate NY...please let us know if and when you plan the trip!...thanks again brother...you're totally awesome!
Ive been following your vlogs in the shadows for quite a while now. Have learnt a lot and enjoyed even more. Just subscribed Andrew. Thanks for doing these!
Great vlog Andrew, classic ups and downs of a session. The straight flush flop was like a hand in some corny film! Fantastic feeling when players are betting into you!
These are just golden.. Thank you for the favorable vlogs, you are the man! Also feels fair that these insane hands (52o, A2o) also come up at your games and not only on my 5c/10c games.. ;)
It's been a while since I've watched the vlog- I'm glad to see you're getting some serious views and a very hefty following! You're still the best in my book :)
Just landed at an airport, waiting for my luggage. It's a funny coincidence how my mood changed when a notification popped up just as I opened my phone.
Awesome session Andrew! Way to go in recognizing the potential, sticking it out and fortunately you were able to come out on top! Keep grinding, my brother
Ahhhh! Finally got my fix for the day.What else can i ask for now, living in vegas and watching a new Neeme vlog. Man! man! man! The Favorable Man, Neeme!!! A true grinder!
Andrew Neeme this episode had me laughing so damn hard. That run out was brutal but as a viewer hilarious. Less than 1% 😂Best episode yet imo! Keep it up brotha!
Neeme, you gave me a roller coaster ride on this one. What a finish, I was sure it was gonna be a str8 flush over str8 flush kind of ending (it was going pretty poorly there for awhile). That would be a very rare event. BTW, it's not just the poker hands brother, you are truly a hard to dislike kinda guy.
Great episode Andrew, lots of hands walked through. Glad you got it turned around to make your session as profitable for you as the vid was for us. Thank you for your work here
actually another question for you Andrew.. A few friends and I were discussing how the vegas games are different esp in the 5/10 and above. So generally tighter and certainly more aggro pre.. So I am not sure I adjusted well to it during the WSOP as I was 3 bet alot from blinds and these guys couldnt possibly be only doing this with say QQ+ and AK.. So do you pick on some of these guys and 4 bet bluff them with say a middle suited connector or Ax suited to balance our your value 4 bets so they might 3 bet you less? If and this is a big if I play 5/10 again in vegas I feel I would need to 4! more to stop these guys from constantly 3betting me..
Yeah that's the biggest adjustment when moving into the Vegas 5/10 games. You're on the right path: I like the small and medium suited aces to put into your 4b bluff range, having the A blocker. The suited connectors aren't quite as good candidates since they don't block any good hands. I really recommend the Upswing stuff (link in description!👆🏼) which goes into this a lot. Or just never play in Vegas. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey guys, I have a question and please consider that I am a very unexperienced player. I need some help for a situation, in which I find myself sometimes: I open up AKo from UTG to 4.5 BBs. A pretty active player on my direct left calls with a very wide range and the others fold. I totally miss the flop. Continutation bet to grow the pot even more although I expect my opponent to call? And if I don't improve on the turn, shall I put out a bet again?
I like check-calling at least one street here vs an active player. AK has some showdown value to it and you don't necessarily need to turn it into a bluff. You'll have to decide on later streets whether to continue calling if you don't make a pair and I prefer the less connected board to continue with it.
Awesome Andrew flopping a straight flush!! I had that happen to me in a tournament at Turning Stone holding 109 of Diamonds with 5 people limping in, I was in the small blind. Flop is J78 of Diamonds, I check two people go all in after which was MUSIC to my ears!!! lol Went on to final table that tournament for a nice cash!!! I will remember that hand like I am sure you will remember yours for a long time to come!!! :)
nice product placement Drew! I especially like when you take off you jacket because you are warm......only to show off the tee lol. Great stuff....you're the besht! Great vlog as per usual!
It's ok to be annoyed and feel that FOMO. It's not ok to have it change how you play the next hand. Focus on hand strength/position/bet sizing etc--all the usual factors in decision making--rather than what happened in the last couple of hands.
It's funny because here in the UK we'd call a mug someone who is gullible or that you'd take the piss out of. You could say you got 'mugged' off by someone for example, or someone is making you out to be a mug! Seems a little ironic to me that a few pros have gotten together to play some amateur fans and calling them mugs haha but all that aside, love the videos man and glad you got a win. I hope one day I can come to Vegas and you could mug me off!
Andrew, so glad you are back from your time off because I didn't realize I had this vlog-sized hole in my life until you started posting again. Thanks for all you do! I have 2 questions for you: 1) What is a normal amount to tip after a $1,500+ sized pot? I always struggle with sizing my tips so not to be judged as being too cheap yet not giving a ridiculous amount either. 2) Do you keep any data on your win rates based on property played at, time of day, time of year, etc? You might already do that, I just wondered if that would be a way to increase your profits by some margin if you weren't. For example, maybe you find that you win 20% more playing at one property compared to another, or more between the hours of 8 pm and 2 am. It wouldn't matter too much with a small sample size, but with a few years of data it could be profitable information to have. I work with data in excel a lot so I'm always thinking about stuff like that. Might not be worth your time or effort, but just thought I would throw the idea out there. Thanks again for the great content you put out, good luck on the felt!
Hey Man, tipping is a fairly personal thing but my standard goes something like $0 for winning the blinds, $1 for standard pot, $2-$3 for a medium to big pot, and $5 for a really big pot. I can filter by those different criteria but I don't out too much weight into it. Perhaps a little more so by property... but by now I can tell what's a better than average game and what isn't, and tend to go off of that more than anything.
Happy for you - and a bit envious - about all the action you got with the straight flush. Seems that when I flop monsters (more online than in live games), the action unusually goes check round, check round, bet, fold, fold. You deserve it though! Keep up the great work!
Andrew, love the vids, been a subscriber for a long time, one thing I wanted to add for a long time is that I think u should include effective stacks when u do the hand replays. Just a thought keep up the great work dude and good luck at the tables.
Link to the live stream???? I know its not going down yet but just looking for a way to try and watch it. Any info on this... Thanks Andrew keep up the vlog it really great.
A.N. the clubs master!! Awesome playing with you and Brad the other night man, hope you enjoy your stay in Montreal. Keep up the great work with the Vlog. -Big Kris
That J10 hand summed up the pain brought on me all week last week too :( Every fish kept hitting on me and everyone else gladly took their money. Why oh why do we put ourselves through this type of pain Andrew :) Ugggg it really was a disgusting week (math wise, bad beats like that hand) for me. Just gotta play through it. Which I did, and got about even over the holiday weekend :) Can't lie, I ran hot a few times :) take care man, and great vid as always!
That 52 off was brutal, Andrew, but nice to see that last hand - still enjoy watching you - always something happening! Another poker player, from Detroit.
it's a BEAUTIFUL day here in Boston, 80 and sunny....go pats on Thur nite!! but it just got a lil cooler as I now have a cool 20 min vlog to ck out...very favorable
Pretty sure I've never laughed so much watching a vlog. I wonder how hard it must have been keeping your poker face straight up when seeing all that action in front of you ahahaha! it doesn't get much better than that, does it? lol
Funny you should mention that... my friend Ashley was at the table (not in the hand) and I texted her after the flop came down "I have a straight flush." She said I was grinning the entire hand. Could be a tell.
My co worker Ryan Moss said he ran into you at the beligio 5/10 game last weekend after playing some tournaments! 6 guys in our sheet metal shop all watch your videos Andrew! If you ever come to Vancouver BC let us know! Would love to play with you. Keep up the awesome vlogs, have yet to miss one.
POKER QUESTION: would you ever see someone in a 5/10 game, in this exact scenario, in your seat/pos but with Ax off (nut draw then blocker when miss) play as you did but as a bluff? I mean you got 2nd nut to fold so I would think that play would work enough? is that why 2p calls? (and BTW, what the !!! there was a pair on the board, so what is he saying, he had 89 with the 9c sf draw? or he flopped top two?? in all cases he has to fold that unless he thinks you are straight bluffing...so maybe I just answered my own question...)
Andrew Neeme how much more likely is the HJ to call if the board doesn't pair? ...either way I don't know if I can fold the K flush there especially if I've seen good players bluff with Ac there or take advantage of the paired board to bluff. This makes me think I shouldn't move up ...yet
Another great vlog! I've always wanted to ask - how do you keep track of the cards that hit the board (dupe K of spades aside 😜)? Memory or write it down? Assume you cant take a pic....
all these years i thought Bellagio was like some super tough place to play, and yet ever since i started following Neeme, the play from his vlogs from that is just as bad as my local 1/2 game in daytona beach
nono namemo so Taylor is correct but it's important know at what point you're calculating odds. Only after a 10 or J comes on turn do the odds then change to a 3 outer (3/44) on river. But that 6.8% is only what woukd show for odds after the 6 outer hit on turn. Other crucial aspect is these calculators do their calculations knowing what the shown players hole cards are. If dealer were asked to compute odds not knowing hole cards - and not assigning any guess probabilities - he'd calc it after flop as 8 possible on turn out of 49 unseen and then times 3 outta 48 on river = 1.02% that board will run out 10,j or j,10
The 54cc hand was some of your best work. The way you described the hand made me the feel your excitement when you know you have a hammer lock on the pot and people keep donating chips.
At the moment, I'd prefer to have a little better sense of consistency with my play in some 5/10 lineups. But I think I'm slowly trending in that direction and will be looking at some bigger games, especially outside of Vegas.
Don't go too big for too long, you're going to leave all us 1/3-2/5 recs in the dust. I wouldn't mind seeing a 10/20 game once, but I think I'd like a drunk 1/3 game better -- not you drunk, the rest of the table, or at least not you only.
I only ever played at the Bellagio once. Since it was during the WSOP and all poker rooms were super-busy -- but *especially* the Bellagio -- they had overflow tables set up in the sports book on the right side going in, starting from more or less where you were sitting for the intro, I think. So I've still never played poker in the actual Bellagio poker room. According to the Internet, the odds of flopping a straight flush with suited connectors such that there are 4 possible flops resulting in that hand is 1 in 4,900, about 0.02%.
Saw you (my poker idol) there at Bellagio Poker Room that night on Sunday's night. , was going to come up and say hi but didn't want to bother you while you were on the table :-).
Keep up the good work man! You inspire me to become a poker pro and take my game to the next level! All in due time. Also does the hat really help to keep people from seeing tells in your face? Been thinking about buying one for that reason!
Mister! I was wondering, how much is the rake in Vegas? Different in every casino or depending on the stakes? Maybe cool to tell something about and how it influences your play to a no rake homegame (if it unfluence your play of course) . Thanks!
In 5/10 games they take $7 per player per half hour, and don't take anything from the pots. In smaller games it's usually 10% up to $5 maximum per hand. We're pretty spoiled in Vegas when it comes to rake compared to some other locations.
Andrew Neeme Yes you are! In the Netherlands you pay 10% on low stakes with a cap of 10euro = 12 dollars so it influences the game and becomes not really interesting anymore. Thanks for the reply!

Oh and if you haven't yet, check out the podcast that Busi and I started! We submitted to Stitcher and Google Play, just waiting on them to post. In the meantime you can find it on iTunes here: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tells-stories-about-poker-youtube-and-life/id1266793809?mt=2
One more thing, then I'm all linked out. I wish I could've recorded the last hand, but I at least got a pic and posted it on my Instagram: instagram.com/yayandrew/
That Less than 1% Runner Runner Chop Was Absolutely Brutal Andrew! I would have been on Major Tilt after that hand
Keep up the great work!!
This was one of my favorite vlogs of yours so far. I love big action games!!
Andrew Neeme Hi Andrew just a quick question with the straight flush hand. Can we ever raise on pre river or is it just unbalanced as do we ever bluff vs sb player given the dynamic? Also keep up the good work!
@ah17293 i know you asked mr neeme but let me answer this. well on the flop things become complicated with the checkraise. if the SB leads out and you have a caller in between its actually pretty good option to raise all your nutflush, some of your combos and a high flush draws.
the later may even work as a stop min reraise. however the checkraise makes stop raises impossible so your range to raise is much tighter.
so in this situation its better on the flop to just call to keep ranges wide.
on the turn however i would even see here a good point of raising.
thing is in a 3 way pot with 3 clubs the river will almost always kill the action for at least one of your oponents. this was a very special outcome with that massive fish, but normaly you wont get any morey from 2 pair anymore, you usually have one player with either a lower flush (which can easy fold on a 4th club) and or one with a flush draw that either hits or folds.
lets think of all hand combos (i list a hand each oponent)
flush / flush
flush/flushdrw
straight/flush
set or 2pair /flush
set or 2 pair /flushdrw
set or 2pair / set or 2pair
straight/straight maybe option for a flush
-
now except the set /set situation you will always loose either the draw or the made hand (except superfish ofc but here it aint matter)
in either case if another club comes or not.
sets on the other hand are likely to call a small raise on the turn almost always, will most of the time fold the river anyway and will always pay you off if the board pairs.
so yes best would have been a small raise on the turn in that situation. king high might fold here (as he did on the river) but maybe not. its easier to fold it on the paired board. but in most constealltion this is a much better play since you normaly wont get a bet / call action in that constellation that often. that requires a special kind of fish.
most rivers at that board would be check / check / bet / fold / call or fold. sometimes check bet raise fold /fold or call.
as for balance i aint see much of a problem here. with the weakness smaller betsizing form SB a raise with s a straight (amybe with a draw), smaller flushes and the nut flush draw is not unusual.
in contrary, andrew actually narrowed his range to either strght flush/fullhouse or nutflush.
3 times just call then raise showed much more strengh than lets say a raise on the turn.
no small flush or straight would now raise the river that could raise the turn
Andrew tells us his decisions, and reasons for his decisions every crucial hand. He gives us his to the dollar vlog statistics, then invites us to come play with him when he and Brad Owen organize poker room meet ups. Favorable Fucking Fella. NEEME 2020
Amen to that
horsefly34 huh? When did he offer Vlog stats? Not talking views, talking dollars.

Thank goodness, what a life saver. I've been limping along, trying to exist on the crumbs from Trooper and PokerKraut. This is like finding an oasis in the desert or a buxom babe in the last chance saloon. I'm truly grateful.
Bob Roberts dude welcome to NemmeLand; the best thing thing to ever come along in poker media for the people.
Over or under 350 on troopers next loss upcoming vlog anyone ??? I'm going under -310. Lol.
Steve Hawkins I'm going he wins 21$
Seth Bowman .... lmao gawd aren't his videos funny despite how goofy he is. It's almost funny to watch him stroll and complain about everything and watch him lose every single day.
Seth Bowman so the game was good .... although at 1/2 I was in for 800 but made a come back only down 350 now. See you next time 😂
Nice start to my day off. 20 minutes of Neeme. Does not get better than that!
Andrew, I have watched a ton of your videos and enjoy them all. I am in the process of going back through and catching any that I may have missed. Keep making the awesome videos, they are the best! Thanks for the well thought out videos, you always put a ton of work into them and it shows!

Dude you are on another level of greatness compared to the other poker vlogs. ALWAYS entertained by your videos!!
Andrew...I met you last week at Belagio...it was truly an honor to meet my favorite vlogger on youtube...let me tell all you fans...Andrew was super kind and generous enough to take a few mins away from his game to chat with me...wishing you all the best...hope to see you soon at Seneca Niagara and or Del Lago here in upstate NY...please let us know if and when you plan the trip!...thanks again brother...you're totally awesome!
Will make it up there at some point, hopefully before too long!
Had a shocker of a morning at work today... saw Neeme pop up on my phone and it helped me through the day!
Neeme is the legend!
Ive been following your vlogs in the shadows for quite a while now. Have learnt a lot and enjoyed even more. Just subscribed Andrew. Thanks for doing these!
Cheers Scott. 👊🏼
Great vlog Andrew, classic ups and downs of a session. The straight flush flop was like a hand in some corny film! Fantastic feeling when players are betting into you!
The straight flush hand was fun to listen to!! Most FAVORABLE situation. Pretty schweeeet Mr. Neeme.
These are just golden.. Thank you for the favorable vlogs, you are the man! Also feels fair that these insane hands (52o, A2o) also come up at your games and not only on my 5c/10c games.. ;)
Sweet way to end my night! Watching Neeme with Man
Andrew, congrats on the str8 FLUSH and on your continued success - can't get enough of your vlogs, and I'll soon start with the podcasts :)

Andrew Neeme is poker rigged?!?
Blake Masterson it was just a joke bcs of the 2 king of spades
Nolan Bulf great work
JonBenait06 I think you'd have to leave the table before it is discovered if you want a chance at keeping the winnings
I like the general strategy talk about how you adjust to the atmosphere at the table in this video. Thanks, Andrew!
It's been a while since I've watched the vlog- I'm glad to see you're getting some serious views and a very hefty following!
You're still the best in my book :)
I would of liked to see that game live! Great come back neeme 👍🏼
Just landed at an airport, waiting for my luggage. It's a funny coincidence how my mood changed when a notification popped up just as I opened my phone.
Awesome session Andrew! Way to go in recognizing the potential, sticking it out and fortunately you were able to come out on top! Keep grinding, my brother

Feeling so relived to have two videos . 2 x 20 min videos of Andrew Neeme I really needed it . So happy to see the same fun people comment too!
Just after 1am here in Vancouver, Canada.... Time to stay up and watch some Mr. Neeme!!
"flopped the joint" 😂 awesome content
Excellent job Neeme! Right when you think you've seen it all, the poker gods bless you with a crazy game/hand....
🍺🍺🥃🍺🍺
Awesome video! ... I was like HOLD on the straight flush. Hoping buddy didn't have 9T clubs the way the night was going lol. Good work.
Neeme, you gave me a roller coaster ride on this one. What a finish, I was sure it was gonna be a str8 flush over str8 flush kind of ending (it was going pretty poorly there for awhile). That would be a very rare event. BTW, it's not just the poker hands brother, you are truly a hard to dislike kinda guy.
One of the best vlogs so far Andrew!
gf says its time to sleep, shell have to wait 20 minutes and 20 seconds
Sorry Mrs. Dolphin.

Chris Kang i don't get it
Lol
Seems unfavorable for "sexy time" though...
Neeme straight grinding and coming out on top...definitely favorable...I literally yelled out "fuck yeaaaa" when you flopped the straight flush haha
Lovin the podcast Neeme. Busi is a delight. And you're ok too lol! Keep on grindin.
Ha! When the flop come down and I yell "he flopped the joint".....and my wife looks at me like wtf.... lol
Nice win!!! Great video per usual!
330 AM Neeme vlog? Now that's favorable
You've by far been a mentor for me in poker. I've come a pretty decent way since I've started watching your videos. You're great man💪🏽💪🏽
Great episode Andrew, lots of hands walked through. Glad you got it turned around to make your session as profitable for you as the vid was for us.
Thank you for your work here
Closing my eyes ready to sleep... hearing RUclips notification... back at it
Holy shit, have never seen a straight flush on a poker vlog. Good Stuff Andrew
starting my day off with morning coffee and a new Andrew Neeme video? Yes please.
Awesome vlog as always! Sounds like one hell of a game you played.
Andrew! Thrilling!!
Nice come up with the SF! I joined the FB page, I'll be in Vegas next week.
Awesome Vlog once again Andrew!! Keep up the great work!!!
actually another question for you Andrew.. A few friends and I were discussing how the vegas games are different esp in the 5/10 and above. So generally tighter and certainly more aggro pre.. So I am not sure I adjusted well to it during the WSOP as I was 3 bet alot from blinds and these guys couldnt possibly be only doing this with say QQ+ and AK.. So do you pick on some of these guys and 4 bet bluff them with say a middle suited connector or Ax suited to balance our your value 4 bets so they might 3 bet you less? If and this is a big if I play 5/10 again in vegas I feel I would need to 4! more to stop these guys from constantly 3betting me..
Yeah that's the biggest adjustment when moving into the Vegas 5/10 games. You're on the right path: I like the small and medium suited aces to put into your 4b bluff range, having the A blocker.

Or just never play in Vegas. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey guys, I have a question and please consider that I am a very unexperienced player.
I need some help for a situation, in which I find myself sometimes:
I open up AKo from UTG to 4.5 BBs. A pretty active player on my direct left calls with a very wide range and the others fold.
I totally miss the flop. Continutation bet to grow the pot even more although I expect my opponent to call? And if I don't improve on the turn, shall I put out a bet again?
I like check-calling at least one street here vs an active player. AK has some showdown value to it and you don't necessarily need to turn it into a bluff. You'll have to decide on later streets whether to continue calling if you don't make a pair and I prefer the less connected board to continue with it.
Neeme posts a video in the middle of the night? Two snooze's in the morning to compensate.
My word, you couldn't make up a hand like the 52 one.
Awesome Andrew flopping a straight flush!! I had that happen to me in a tournament at Turning Stone holding 109 of Diamonds with 5 people limping in, I was in the small blind. Flop is J78 of Diamonds, I check two people go all in after which was MUSIC to my ears!!! lol Went on to final table that tournament for a nice cash!!! I will remember that hand like I am sure you will remember yours for a long time to come!!! :)
nice product placement Drew! I especially like when you take off you jacket because you are warm......only to show off the tee lol. Great stuff....you're the besht! Great vlog as per usual!
Gotta be subtle. 😎 (It was really warm though. We're still over a hundred in Vegas. 😓)
Please explain your mindset / how not to tilt if say you folded that 45cc hand preflop / got beat by 9 10 cc?
It's ok to be annoyed and feel that FOMO. It's not ok to have it change how you play the next hand. Focus on hand strength/position/bet sizing etc--all the usual factors in decision making--rather than what happened in the last couple of hands.
Great vlog Andrew! 52o hand is incredible! Keep crushing!
It's funny because here in the UK we'd call a mug someone who is gullible or that you'd take the piss out of. You could say you got 'mugged' off by someone for example, or someone is making you out to be a mug! Seems a little ironic to me that a few pros have gotten together to play some amateur fans and calling them mugs haha but all that aside, love the videos man and glad you got a win. I hope one day I can come to Vegas and you could mug me off!
Accurate.
Andrew, so glad you are back from your time off because I didn't realize I had this vlog-sized hole in my life until you started posting again. Thanks for all you do!
I have 2 questions for you:
1) What is a normal amount to tip after a $1,500+ sized pot? I always struggle with sizing my tips so not to be judged as being too cheap yet not giving a ridiculous amount either.
2) Do you keep any data on your win rates based on property played at, time of day, time of year, etc? You might already do that, I just wondered if that would be a way to increase your profits by some margin if you weren't. For example, maybe you find that you win 20% more playing at one property compared to another, or more between the hours of 8 pm and 2 am. It wouldn't matter too much with a small sample size, but with a few years of data it could be profitable information to have. I work with data in excel a lot so I'm always thinking about stuff like that. Might not be worth your time or effort, but just thought I would throw the idea out there.
Thanks again for the great content you put out, good luck on the felt!
Hey Man, tipping is a fairly personal thing but my standard goes something like $0 for winning the blinds, $1 for standard pot, $2-$3 for a medium to big pot, and $5 for a really big pot.
I can filter by those different criteria but I don't out too much weight into it. Perhaps a little more so by property... but by now I can tell what's a better than average game and what isn't, and tend to go off of that more than anything.
Happy for you - and a bit envious - about all the action you got with the straight flush. Seems that when I flop monsters (more online than in live games), the action unusually goes check round, check round, bet, fold, fold. You deserve it though! Keep up the great work!
Andrew, love the vids, been a subscriber for a long time, one thing I wanted to add for a long time is that I think u should include effective stacks when u do the hand replays. Just a thought keep up the great work dude and good luck at the tables.
Link to the live stream???? I know its not going down yet but just looking for a way to try and watch it. Any info on this... Thanks
Andrew keep up the vlog it really great.
Think it's twitch.tv/BellagioPOTS
Nice you got action to I saw the picture on IG and was waiting to see what happened
A.N. the clubs master!! Awesome playing with you and Brad the other night man, hope you enjoy your stay in Montreal. Keep up the great work with the Vlog.
-Big Kris
Smashing it recently bro, keep it up🙌🏾
The sucker straight flush delivers! Man... so sick when the ultra nuts doesn't block the rest of your action. NH!
That J10 hand summed up the pain brought on me all week last week too :( Every fish kept hitting on me and everyone else gladly took their money. Why oh why do we put ourselves through this type of pain Andrew :) Ugggg it really was a disgusting week (math wise, bad beats like that hand) for me. Just gotta play through it. Which I did, and got about even over the holiday weekend :) Can't lie, I ran hot a few times :) take care man, and great vid as always!
That 52 off was brutal, Andrew, but nice to see that last hand - still enjoy watching you - always something happening! Another poker player, from Detroit.
Hope to get back home soon.
How do you keep calm with the straight flush??
You don't.
I'm in Mexico with hardly any wifi access but I still gotta watch Neeme
🇲🇽
What is the link to the meet up page

haha we flop (pause) the straight flush. i bet it even feels awesome to say it. great vlog man!
it's a BEAUTIFUL day here in Boston, 80 and sunny....go pats on Thur nite!! but it just got a lil cooler as I now have a cool 20 min vlog to ck out...very favorable
Pretty sure I've never laughed so much watching a vlog. I wonder how hard it must have been keeping your poker face straight up when seeing all that action in front of you ahahaha! it doesn't get much better than that, does it? lol
Funny you should mention that... my friend Ashley was at the table (not in the hand) and I texted her after the flop came down "I have a straight flush." She said I was grinning the entire hand. Could be a tell.
My co worker Ryan Moss said he ran into you at the beligio 5/10 game last weekend after playing some tournaments! 6 guys in our sheet metal shop all watch your videos Andrew! If you ever come to Vancouver BC let us know! Would love to play with you. Keep up the awesome vlogs, have yet to miss one.
I like that you look at holiday weekends like poker tournaments. Day 1....day 2....day 3....lol
Labor Day weekend explained as if it were a 3 day tournament. You're at the top of your range for poker vlogging Neeme.
I love watching your old vlogs right b4 WSOP to get extra hype to fuel my bracelet wins this summer 🔥
neeme you are wicked vloger man keep on producing this amazing content i know i love it along side many others.
Love the blogs , I was actually on the 2-5 table right there by ya for this vlog, glad you got unstuck...need come back down for some Louisiana poker.
These are the best type of wins! Sometimes I lose and it's a win. Good sesh!
That straight flush saved your life man! It's always nice to hit something like that off the flop it's what poker players dream of
Always awesome to see Neeme VLOG. Great hand analysis and entertaining material. He never gives up and hope he will always keep on vlogging. GG sir
Love the selection of opening music for this one.
A poker vlog that can make you laugh is a good one
Happy to hear it!
POKER QUESTION: would you ever see someone in a 5/10 game, in this exact scenario, in your seat/pos but with Ax off (nut draw then blocker when miss) play as you did but as a bluff? I mean you got 2nd nut to fold so I would think that play would work enough? is that why 2p calls? (and BTW, what the !!! there was a pair on the board, so what is he saying, he had 89 with the 9c sf draw? or he flopped top two?? in all cases he has to fold that unless he thinks you are straight bluffing...so maybe I just answered my own question...)
Hijack is well aware enough to know that my bluff frequency there is literally 0%.
Andrew Neeme how much more likely is the HJ to call if the board doesn't pair? ...either way I don't know if I can fold the K flush there especially if I've seen good players bluff with Ac there or take advantage of the paired board to bluff. This makes me think I shouldn't move up ...yet
On the flopped straight flush were you not rewarded a "high hand" as well?
Nah no jackpots at the Bellagio. Only real poker.
Flop a straight flush.. Nice, I flopped quads one no action keep it up... You mentioned a podcast gonna check it out
Another great vlog! I've always wanted to ask - how do you keep track of the cards that hit the board (dupe K of spades aside 😜)? Memory or write it down? Assume you cant take a pic....
I write it down after the hand ends.
ahh..Gus Hansen style!
STRAIGHT FLUSH!!! Nicely done!
Hahaha the 52o is so funny :)
funny haha or funny time for a scotch...
all these years i thought Bellagio was like some super tough place to play, and yet ever since i started following Neeme, the play from his vlogs from that is just as bad as my local 1/2 game in daytona beach
Can someone explain the math of that hand? i mean he got 3 outs in a
You have to factor in the odds of there being a jack or a 10 on the turn (6 cards) AND the 3 card out on the river. The
nono namemo so Taylor is correct but it's important know at what point you're calculating odds. Only after a 10 or J comes on turn do the odds then change to a 3 outer (3/44) on river. But that 6.8% is only what woukd show for odds after the 6 outer hit on turn. Other crucial aspect is these calculators do their calculations knowing what the shown players hole cards are. If dealer were asked to compute odds not knowing hole cards - and not assigning any guess probabilities - he'd calc it after flop as 8 possible on turn out of 49 unseen and then times 3 outta 48 on river = 1.02% that board will run out 10,j or j,10
Was there a promotion for high hand?
Not at this establishment.
Hey, great video bro. Is there a point where you would just walk away stuck, or would you keep rebuying as long as the action is there?
Somewhere around 4 buyins, probably, for a game of this caliber. It'd be tough though, in practice.
The 54cc hand was some of your best work. The way you described the hand made me the feel your excitement when you know you have a hammer lock on the pot and people keep donating chips.
What stakes would you consider moving up to and in what case? Or what boxes have to be checked for you to do that?
At the moment, I'd prefer to have a little better sense of consistency with my play in some 5/10 lineups. But I think I'm slowly trending in that direction and will be looking at some bigger games, especially outside of Vegas.
Don't go too big for too long, you're going to leave all us 1/3-2/5 recs in the dust. I wouldn't mind seeing a 10/20 game once, but I think I'd like a drunk 1/3 game better -- not you drunk, the rest of the table, or at least not you only.
I only ever played at the Bellagio once. Since it was during the WSOP and all poker rooms were super-busy -- but *especially* the Bellagio -- they had overflow tables set up in the sports book on the right side going in, starting from more or less where you were sitting for the intro, I think. So I've still never played poker in the actual Bellagio poker room.
According to the Internet, the odds of flopping a straight flush with suited connectors such that there are 4 possible flops resulting in that hand is 1 in 4,900, about 0.02%.
Saw you (my poker idol) there at Bellagio Poker Room that night on Sunday's night. , was going to come up and say hi but didn't want to bother you while you were on the table :-).
Keep up the good work man! You inspire me to become a poker pro and take my game to the next level! All in due time. Also does the hat really help to keep people from seeing tells in your face? Been thinking about buying one for that reason!
What a session! Keep up the grinding
Hey... heading to vegas next week.. any chance for a fan game sesh?
the best vlog on youtube
keep up the good work Mr.Andrew
Mister! I was wondering, how much is the rake in Vegas? Different in every casino or depending on the stakes? Maybe cool to tell something about and how it influences your play to a no rake homegame (if it unfluence your play of course) . Thanks!
In 5/10 games they take $7 per player per half hour, and don't take anything from the pots. In smaller games it's usually 10% up to $5 maximum per hand. We're pretty spoiled in Vegas when it comes to rake compared to some other locations.
Andrew Neeme Yes you are! In the Netherlands you pay 10% on low stakes with a cap of 10euro = 12 dollars so it influences the game and becomes not really interesting anymore. Thanks for the reply!
