- Hello, my name is Sam and this is the $100 - $100,000 bankroll challenge. We began on March, 24th 2023 with a $100 deposit on pokerstars, after grinding microstakes tournaments, we took our $1,330 and went to the live 1/3 NLHE streets. Drop a like, and subscribe to follow along with this journey, and all comments are welcome, good or bad!
Putting that new camera to the test! Love the long format. 95% of poker is in the unexciting hands, and the short YT format necessitates biased samples to focus on the exciting parts; this content helps fill out some of those gaps by showcasing more “normal” play.
Thanks fella! I'll try make this a monthly thing :)
I agreed
I agree keep the long video sessions
@@BluffaloSam I really enjoyed the long format as well, tons of vloggers putting out exciting hands, but I really liked hearing the thought process of when to float vs. when not. These mundane hands are most of poker after all. Keep up the good work!
My thought exactly
This format is great. Really helps to see the “less interesting” hands. Watching you fold A10o to a 3 bet is showing me some of my leaks
At live low stakes you can even just muck AQo OOP to a 3bet
This is one of the most valuable poker blogs I've seen for players that enjoy the analytical aspect of the game. You talk about the frequency, player tendencies, profiles, position, bet sizes, card range. Everything. Very impressive. And a daunting video to edit. You can be proud to say, this is excellent. And I watched the whole hour. Kudos.
Best format I've ever seen any vlogger do. Incredible content, great job!
Enjoyed the lengthy session with all you thought processes regarding the play....worth watching more than once !!
Sam, I like this format, and I like your rule about leaving when you make a big mistake. I play long sessions and I tend to get worse towards the end of my sessions.
Enjoyed this long format. For it's your delivery of your thought process and analysis. My new number 1 vlogger
Thanks a ton fella!
A very helpful and informative video with tips I can apply to my game too. Thanks a bunch and cheers! Also kudos for making the effort to edit such a long video
This vlog is amazing! Please do more of these full session vlogs as it’s great to see your decision making for folds.
BTW, the latest Upswing video featured both your and my hands!
I saw that!!! Which one was yours?
@@BluffaloSam Hand #3. KQo felted
@@Hikingguy359 That hand pissed me off 😂 tbh, I think I just Hero fold the flop in your spot, extremely tough to do in practice though
@@BluffaloSam Tough hand for sure. I figured my Kh was an out as villain played hand like an all flush. I just seen villain try a terrible bluff which is why I called him down. In the end, he masterfully played the flopped nut flush
If I don’t turn top 2 pair, I likely fold to pot turn bet
I haven’t even watched the whole thing yet but I’m so excited, I wish more vloggers did long form poker content like this. I don’t like watching just the big hands; I’d like to see how people handle the more common spots.
Maybe I'll do this once a month, it was a huuuuge time commitment to get this out!
Love the format…so many good insights here especially for live play
Best vloger in my opinion, hard earned 👍 keep going like this, this is already a snowball rolling downside an always grows 👍
Great work man!! Love this format! 🙏
Too many newer players have a vlog mentality in which they think 90% of their hands are playable to the River. This helps to show the slow paced reality of profitable poker.
I love this format with all folded hands as well as your insights, thanks!
Really well done. Love all the explanations.
I really like this. Didn't feel too long and enjoyed your hand analysis!
Really appreciate the time you put into this man, extremely helpful.
This is brilliant. Learnt a lot. Appeared on my YT suggested. Great job.
Loved the format. I appreciate the difference from the usual highlight reel of most poker vlogs. Also enjoyed hearing your thought processes
Love the increased production quality!
Nice! Love this video as I'm currently learning how to play poker, please do more!!
Awesome content brother. Thank you
love these videos keep it up!
Yo he peeped the Arc’teryx 😭😭
Hype to watch this, shoutout Bluffalo
Will watch this one multiple times
Love this format. Seeing the “not so interesting” hands helps me out a lot. Saw u say maybe doing something like this once a month. That would be awesome. Already love your vids but think everyone would enjoy this format too.
Thanks a lot fella :)
Great format!
Great content!
Love that content !
1 hour vlog?? It's a Christmas miracle.
Hahaha enjoy :)
I love how you review every hand!!!
this format works well Ty
This is my room and my game. Enjoyed watching your session.
This was a great video watched the whole thing.
A comment for the algorithm.
You put so much effort into your videos.
I really appreciate it and have become a better player for it.
Thanks again
Thanks a ton, glad you're improving!!
You are one of my favorite TH-camrs
GREAT VID 👍🏽 THESE LONG ESPECIALS ONCE IN AWHILE ARE NICE..I WAS THE 667 LIKE BTW GLAD I MADE IT ON TIME 💪🏽
This long format gives a much better perspective. On many shorter vlogs it seems like 80+% of the hands you play go to showdown. This looks more realistic
I'll try do more like these in the future!
very fun vid! thank you very much on your sessions! u said alot of things here that im trying to improve on! like when i make one really bad play when ive been playing for some time i get up! love that, hugs all around if u come back to vegas would love a meet up game!
Absolutely, glad you enjoyed it fella!
Thank you for the long post!
Stick with this format. I love it!
I know first hand the amount of work to film a full session with every hand. The editing is crazy. Props to you for an hour long video holy moly. Gj dude and nice session.
Thanks Keevin! I liked yours too!!
Love the long form 🤌
Bro the salad jump scare at 34:42 had me crying
Damn...All this time I've been ordering my morning coffees all wrong
Jk. Sick vlog, thanks for going deep in on this one. Awesome content. Gg wp 👍
Thanks buddy! What's your morning go to?
Loved the reviews on all your hands, good or bad.
Sucks to lose a big part of your winnings at the end like that, know how that feels. That's a good rule to have, to leave after a play like that, I should do it too..
One hour of poker!! Yea!!!!
Best vlog ever for you and that's saying alot as they're all really good. I watched this one more carefully than I usually watch these vlogs paying attention to the hands you played to the river and where you got out early. Your decisions make a lot of sense. You seem to avoid letting your gut take over which is a great attribute. I went to the Lodge this morning for a few hours and tried to do the same. Played 1/2 and left up $390.
BTW, I watch the Lodge stream of 2 weeks ago and you had a tough day there. I was pulling for you but sometimes the cards just ain't there. Good luck on your journey across the US and your drive to $100k. Where to next? Oh yeah, and Happy Holidays.
Thanks fella! The Lodge was a rough one, but it wasn't so bad considering how big the game was, and how tough the table was. I'm just hopping around Texas for now playing in different livestreams, but florida in January :)
good vlog
The A9 bluff was an awesome play.
poker can really change the outlook of a person in the long run, take care of your health, Sam!
Content quality is just incomparable! Keep it up man! Happy holidays! Also, why the dark shots, new phone settings not adjusting to light?
I've just lowered the iso to the minimum, do you think it's a bit too dark? I can up it
Rewatched next day. Based upon your comments, found 3 specific hands I will modify my previous play. Thanks.
Very nice! Which ones?
The vlog is the only one I’ve been watching now. Really well done man! Also loved the calming intro too ngl!
Great video! Love that you break down every hand. Appreciate the hard work you put in
Almond milk latte's! Who would've known that was the secret
thank you for long upload
yes
I usually drink Chamomile at bedtime. Does it help relax you at the table?
How does he call that shove with 10-8 suited. Is that a normal play? I’m curious if that’s ever a call in that spot?
What'd the guy have when you hit the 10s full? K/Q? or something. How does he snap you off
With the ace, King hand, considering you had the ace of hearts and the flush draw bricked out on the river. I wouldn’t beat myself up too bad over that call. I see a lot of recreational players shoving when they miss that flush draw. But that’s just from my personal experience over the years because they don’t know what to do when they miss. I did like the format by the way. Hope the continued success and run good continues! Definitely enjoying your travel and journey up to this point. Safe travels, maybe we will see you in Jacksonville Florida sometime soon.
I'll hopefully be there in January!
Nah, I knew Turn was a fold and I should've been able to let it go there
I laughed out loud when you clicked up the A4 of hearts saying “just maybe he’ll fold an overpair” and then “he doesn’t give a shit all in” 😂😂 they do not care at the low stakes
He was not in a folding mood 😂
I like the last two times you've done this. Would appreciate this more especially when you play your lower stakes for us noobs :)
I'll try make it a once a month thing!
AJo (3:45): "This is just never a bluff." I don't think you've played enough Texas 2/5 to make that blanket statement. This could easily be a bluff imo and is villain dependent.
TT (8:15): Range on this flop does a ton of checking. TT bets 33% a lot but still checks 42%. 6h vs 6s changes TT's strategy very little on the turn. What's interesting is that this combo is by far the most passive. It actually checks 33% on the river (but jams the rest). The other 2 combos jam 100%.
I haven't found Texas to be that much crazier than Vegas tbh. In fact 3bet ranges are a lot tighter down here, with very little bluffs preflop.
TT I'm surprised the 6h isn't a big changer to OOP's strat tbh. I reckon this combo does a lot more checking as we unblock front door and backdoor bluffs?
This dude is legit asf
What books/ websites do you use to study
What poker room in dallas?
Another bluffalo banger. Can I ask what program you use to edit your vids?
Thank you! I use Davinci Resolve Studio
I liked the format enough that I’m thinking you need to do this MUCH sooner than you are wanting to
I may need to tbh. Perhaps a 1/3 at the lodge!
Also music while you were talking in the beginning might've been a tad loud but all good :)
Thanks for the note :))
My man showed everything, the coffee, the breakfast, The smoothie, ALL the hands but didn’t show the shower..? 😅
You river an open ender. Hahah
Make more vids like this
You are lucky people play that bad at your club. Most players in Northeast are pretty tight and nitty.
Love your long, descriptive videos.
It's the boring hands that I need the most help with.
Thanks
River open end !
New 2023 strats, don't tell anyone
Are you still planning to play on the Lodge livestream?
I played on Thursday! The video will be out this Friday
53:21 (54) firing $150 into $682 pot on AQ2 against two ops and expecting AK/KK/AQ/KQ to fold.
I don't know how close Salsa Verde is where your staying, but if you like Mexican, especially their Tacos/Torta's it's well worth it.
It's not far at all, I'll give it a go!
At 42:26 when you have KdQd, why are you so sure the 4-bet here is not a bluff, when you identified the similar pre-flop 4-bets in previous hands as a bluff? Would love a breakdown of the difference between the preflop action that makes clear why one is real and one is a bluff.
Its almost entirely intuition, but bet sizing tells also give it away a lot. Sometimes I am wrong though
This was great. Two things, one, I thought I was a competent player, but now I know I’m a fish. So, there’s that. But, second, when you are calculating the percentage of the pot to bet based on the effective SPR, your math seems like it changes from hand to hand. I’m certain that I just don’t understand, so I was hoping you could explain how you are getting to your numbers.
Oh, and do you have a personal coach or do you use an online trainer like upswing or JLittle?
Thanks fella!
SPR on the turn usually determines my bet sizing. 3SPR 80% 4SPR 100% 6SPR 130% etc.
I used to use upswing, I don't have a coach currently
So, how are you coming up with those percentages? One of these hands you figured a SPR of 9 and said you needed to bet 175% to get stacks in. Are they hard and fast memorization numbers or is there a formula for this?
@@VOID_FLIX memorization. You can Google Pot Geometry table, and learn it in a day
Where have you been staying on your trip? Just random air bnb?
Mostly yeah, some hotels
weird sometimes when they bet big you say it has to be a bluff then other times you says it has to be aces.
It really really depends on the player, namely how young and Asian they are
haha respect, you seem half asian to me, no offense.@@BluffaloSam
@@BluffaloSam that might have come off wrong, I meant sorry if your 100% not that there's anything wrong with being Asian lol
@peterorosz9278 I meant my opponent hahaha, young and Asian is generally a hyper aggressive stereotype
@@BluffaloSam yes I know what you mean I m going to grind low stakes in Vegas 2 weeks from now and from Calgary Canada myself, will be supporting tuning in to your journey and drawing inspo from you!
I think you should change your name to Yosemite Sam. Cuz you’re a gunslinger! 😂
300bb deep OOP 4-bet 4x + cold caller is standard tho?
I mean 200bb deep GTO 4-bets 3x IP and 4x OOP, but I've heard when u go deeper the sizings go down at some point so I'm not sure what size solver would use there but I'd think it would be around the same as 200bb.
And he has to put the 50 more because of the cold caller.
That just seems super standard and if he did just 3x there you and the cold caller would have to defend almost full range there for the price.
I personally go 2.5x IP 3x OOP and +1x for each cold caller. I only size down if we're shallow, never size up.
@@BluffaloSam There is thread on 2+2 about deepstack 3bet sizings and someone posted results HU simulations BU vs BB and OOP 3-bets like this: (2.5x open)
100b prefers 5x
200b prefers 4x
300bb prefers 3x
Haven't seen any sims of 4bet sizings yet but I'm very interested and there would be EV gains for sure to be able to adapt to perfect sizings depending on effective stacks because live games often range from 100-1000bb deep and it would be easy to learn if you just get the charts printed.
I think 150-250bb range you can 4bet big OOP but past that you size back down to play against weaker range
Quote from the thread
"Your first alternative to avoid tought spots is to size up to have the option to not play 3 streets, and when SPR doesn't allow it, you size back down to make those tough spots less tough against weaker ranges"
@leohirvonen3298 I quite like this, I always play 3 Street Poker though, rarely rarely rarely am I ever all in on the turn.
first
Will you be coming to Houston?
Hopefully, I reached out to the Champion's club livestream, but haven't heard back yet
25:45 "We only pick up a gutshot"
You already had a gutshot to a 5 on the flop right?
Yeah, didn't even realize until people pointed it out!
At 2:14, what site do you study on Sam😅
Upswing
@@BluffaloSam Between upswing and pokercoaching, which one do you think is better?
@@parbhdeepsangha4823 I've only used upswing
@@BluffaloSam Thank you for reply Sam, crush them out there.
Called you with T8?? 🤮🤮🤮
pocket 86 4!bets into two 3-bet opponents...and A4o calls and SB calls with some crap hand??! this would made dwan jealous.
.
25:15 flop:
Really love your hand analysis process...you're my favorite poker vlogger!
