วีดีโอ

I'm 17 and I'd be curious to have your opinion if it's worth doing poker as a semi-pro / side hustle. I played a bit with my friend, about 50 hours on PokerStars with play money. I've also watched a ton of Brad Owens' blog and lots of GTO wizard, 2 card confidence, poker giraffe and I've recently discovered carrot corner. Do you have any resource, channel books or course etc. to advice? I'm Italian so I would mostly play on PokerStars where the rake 5.5%, capped at 2€, up to 10c/25c and 5.5% with 3€ from that point the most that is running is usually 2/5€ with some 5/10€ a couple hours a day? How much time do you think it would take to able to beat at least 1/2 cent and 2/5 cent and then ladder up and how much bb/100 do you think it's possible to make? Sorry for the super long comment, I did not think it was going to be that long, by the awesome videos really deep explanations.

Hi Bena. Grate vide as always. Do you know maybe how to import hands from Coin Poker to PT ot HM? Is this possible?

if you haven’t already subbed please consider doing so! doing a full play and explain at 10k 😻

lol the 72o hand xD

Let's go 2025 the Bena!

This was so fun, was hoping to blast off w the 72o but just kept getting dealt KK 😢

Best of the player results videos by a mile. Comprehensive but no longer than needed, and very nicely edited / illustrated.

i llllove u BBB

I much prefer live play & explain to post hand analysis. But the combination of the two is probably most effective for some light studying.

FIRST

Mental game!!!

Hey Ben. Wheres the meet up for a bev and counter meal? Any sessions at crown?

you are a refreshing voice in poker these days, great video; somewhere I heard you have a discord server but could not find it; is it private?

I'd love to see a dedicated mental game video!

38k in profits? Can literally make more than that doing any entry level job.

If your videos are going to be as enjoyable and well-edited in 2025 as they were last year, I will continue watching every single upload. Here's a suggestion for those bimonthly vids: 🐱🐈🐈‍⬛

Dude randomizes way too often for his level

Thank you for sharing ur yearly results bro, always been a big fan of ur channel. “things ive experienced in this year put me in a spot that i feel i can overcome anything in poker” Even a bigger fan of ur mental attitude hahaha. Let’s crush 2025!🎉

Bloody legend

Respect!

Do you think rolling is removing your skill level and going with chance? I am a lot lower level than both of you but feeling rolling is wrong as you should be controlling the play. I would love your thoughts into this. Keep up the amazing videos 😊

I think that a video comparing poker sites by rake at the various levels, bonuses and traffic would be really great. I would focus on cash games because that's what you are experienced on.

Good job Bena, it is being a pleasure to follow up your video, gl 2025!

best solution is as you said - other providers need to seize this opportunity

You are incredible. Congratulations, you deserve it. How big was the biggest downswing you had ever have? The biggest one I had was 43 buy ins, but right now I’m in the middle of a 50~ one. But I’m feeling pretty confident that everything is fine, and it’s just variance. I play a very simple and consistent strategy (which is not optimal, but it’s my choice so far), and I know it’s good enough to win in a 1M+ sample hand in my stakes, so I’m just showing up again and again and hoping that soon everything will be back to normal. Thank you for everything, man.

Thank you for your content🙏

Hey man! It would be super interesting and useful to watch your video about a mental game1

open, honest and really enjoyable every video well worth watching. like to see you playing and beating some 10 and 25nl because I cant beat it and im fairly competent lol

2nl to 2knl in 1 day wow

Absolutely love the honesty and transparency as always, by far the best TH-camr in the space ❤️ Hope you have an incredible 2025, it feels like it's going to be your year 💪

I just noticed I played with you recently and am suddenly being reccomended one of your videos XD. Good video, best of luck to you in 2025!

Love watching your videos especially your analysis videos. Really helpful when trying to improve my game. Hope you go well in 2025!

How old are you?

btw why do you keep playing on GG instead Ignition?

How to be profitable in poker -> sunrun in BBJ

Hey Ben, good vid, thanks for sharing these things. I want to ask you what is the state of the games on ignition currently. And do you think the bots impacted quite strong in your winrate there?

What software do you use to track all these statistics? I’ve been playing for years but never tracked. Taking it more seriously this year and would like to keep tabs on my P/L & my EV.

Congrats! Crush it this year 📈

Super humbling to see someone as good as you get disappointing results

Well played bro, your videos were a breath of fresh air and i greatly appreciate you, your transparency and your attitutude... you are indeed bulletproof! Please can you consider the following... 1. a video on cashout strategy on ggpoker? as a method of reducing the swings of variance in major short term downswings ? I had a awful 30buyin downswing so i switched to cashing out and fighting with lady luck and it has been interesting to say the least over my next stretch of 100k hands where i showed a profit 'because' i used a cashout strategy in conjunction with ggpoker's pokercraft 'luck' meter at the top of pokercraft page.... what do you think? is there a merit of battlinng with variance and downswings by temporarily using cashout? (I especially used cashout during major allin's on the tables where i was playing higher stakes (i play 20 tables 1st hour, 2nd hour 16 tables 3rd hour 12 tables and have 2-4 25nl tables running alongside 10nl and 5nl 2. I LOVE ANTE GAMES TOO!! and yeah bro completely different strategy i have to major adjust... can you do a series on battling with ante the differences and the way it differentiates from 6max and also imho there is a lot more potential for bluffing and picking up loads of 20 -60bb pots in deepstack ante games on ggpoker... because this format is DEAD and non existent on the other sites... i believe there is more profit to be made on ante games especially at my stakes maybe not your stakes... .what do you think? 3. PLEASE PLEASE can you do a separate series of your road to the high stakes in the first place? maybe showing 3 month sections year to year of your rise and what you faced,, by reviewing old hand histories 4. i love as do others when you top pros go in to high end theory mode and bluff big... can you possible do a series of top 10 bluffs at the 20 - 80bb level and of course a top 10 bluff series on the biggest pots? you have played 200k hands i am sure every 2 months you can create a series like this and it will be super entertaining to watch! 5. can do you a series on your top 10 mistakes - most streamers talk shit or dont show this you are one of the only few transparent ones who do can you stretch it further and show your mistakes - because your still in profit for the year and i think its super important to show this side of a professional poker player and align it with mental performance and theory too? 6. gureilla poker/uri peleg makes some sick gto videos on linus and the rest sometimes, can you possibly do a series this year on your favorite hands because you are the most charismatic and interesting take on theory i think it will do your channel a lot of good! IMHO sorry for the list - really appreciate you man ps shout out to alanfpoker, spracesaces, spraggy! guriella poker ---> and of course the veteran EASTY!! love you guys you make my miserable poker existence bearable haha x

Gl this year! Bring on the vids 😊

Looking forward to another year of this!

Yeah I'd like to see the mental game vid Ben

bro you are a clear winner in life and poker

Much respect as always! Would definetely be up for more mental content, I play cash full time but, as you, I've a solid psycholgical background. In my case not psycotherapy but the sport psycholgy master that I had. Ofc would be interesting to check the possible interactions between these two approaches

enjoyed that, gl in 2025 fella

Ran bad graph Ran good in BBJ BBJ is kinda insurance? Excited for the mental vid Had a ruff year But did good in njs on stars this week. Made good progress in mental game I was rly bad there It can be so easy Just going for a walk Or meditate ….but there are many temptations

Love this video and all your content
