i like the way you talk. sometimes you are funny. I only play 1-2 no limit. there are more and more utubers playing 2-5, 5-10, 10-20 and they are mostly very aggressive. it's like the chips are not real money. But you play very carefully like every dollar counts. I like that. thank you for sharing.
The chips aren't real money when you're playing poker, they're just an asset that you use to win. When you think of them as money, you end up playing with 'scared money', which is an impossible state to win from. A great example is the AQc that Kato bet and didn't win with. He had ace high, if he got too far into his own head about money, he would never want to make the river bluff. But you have to make that bluff, you can't win otherwise. We saw his opponent consider folding the bottom end of the straight, which means he would have almost certainly folded all 2 pairs and sets.
No harm in showing the straight flush..nice hand. I turned one last Saturday and lucky for me there is a high hand bonus of $300 every 60 minutes but also a straight flush bonus that increases as the day goes on. It hadn't been hit in a few days, I won $4,200 for the straight flush..$4,500 total.
I just don’t get tired of watching your vlog. So far, nearly every episode has been fun and exciting. I’m also learning from your journey. I hope one day you go deep in the WSOP.
I think it was perfect how you played suited flops, cuz both top pairs and even flush will go for such thin value/protection which helps you merge your range
The guy calls flop and turn with TT no spade on the AQ8sss flop, after you open 15 utg, Then on the river checks back cause he thinks he might be good or can’t get you to fold? what a great game to be in.
I'm happy about the rule about the chips breaking the line constitutes a full bet. Unless you vocalise a certain amount, holding a big stack and breaking off a smaller amount is 100% a no no. I see it on nearly every vlog I watch, and with a voiceover and no table sound, I can never tell if any bets have been vocalised. Either way, good video. I appreciate that you get straight to the action and don't muck around too much at the start of your vlogs. :-)
Ok, a few things to say, one is nice to see you playing in Texas. It is real great action there, you almost pulled off the bluff on the big hand, and the stack sitting across table or should I say rack, I am sure made the viewers feel better....lol....anyways good luck to you, looking forward to see what happens next.
Monotone boards you can bet small as protection and it clears out the field to just top pairs or better and high spades. From there u can narrow down opponents range and play your range against their narrow range Small bets as small as 1/4 on flop and 1/3 on turn in this instance Ur never rlly betting for value with no spades, just protection and treading cautiously to aggression
Betting as protection is just another form of betting for value, you are getting worse hands to call as a form of charging them to draw to their flush. Imagine having 88 on 723r, you'd want to bet here to protect against overs, but you are clearly betting for value as you have those hands beat and want to charge them to out-draw you. Lots of low-stakes players are way too cautious on monotone flops: odds of flopping a flush are less than 1%. You should feel comfortable triple barreling with AK after an AQ8 monotone flop unless a four flush comes out or something else gross like a 4 liner or the Q pairing. I think your flop sizing should actually be larger than your turn sizing on monotone boards given the fact your opponent has less equity on the turn than on the flop so you can charge them less to draw to with their Ksx, type hands. 1/4 bet sizing is way too small and gives them better than direct odds to call 5:1 with about 18% to turn their flush and breaking even at 16% equity.
@@Daniel-fo9jf protection bets and value bets are different terms because ur bets have different purposes, but obviously I see ur point u always want worse hands to call. But the terms are used in various forms and should remain separated. As for bet sizing, if everyone is scared of monotone boards wouldnt big sizings scare off anything ur beating? With your explanation, you are specifically ONLY targeting the nut flush draw. What about getting value from lower top pairs, middle pairs, weaker flush draws, etc. Callers ranges have way more nut advantage on monotone boards and good players know this. If I’m in position with the naked Ks, I’m never just flat calling a 1/2 pot size bet and hoping to hit the fourth spade only to not get value when I hit. I’m putting pressure and raising, or folding to a large enough sizing that disincentivizes me to float/raise. Obviously there r some fish in 1/2 and 1/3 so u can get away with big sizings but I sure wouldn’t feel comfortable playing OOP on a monotone board with just top pair. U won’t catch me blasting ever on monotone boards. maybe on the turn I cud get on board to increase size to around half pot
@@Daniel-fo9jf Betting bigger on monotone boards is a mistake for all the reasons Scott Ho mentioned and solvers prove it. If you don't believe it, take a look at solver simulations for monotone flops (ex. PIO Solver) and you will see that it mainly mixes between checks and 1/4 bets, with a rare 1/2 bet, and absolutely never bigger than 1/2. We do not bet big on monotone boards because we are just isolating opponents range to very high equity hands, meaning we make it far easier for the opponent to play against us.
@@DD-vc7fq I never said to bet large on a monotone flop, I said 1/4 is too small in this particular hand Betting 1/4th doesn’t makes sense against a range that is going to be comprised of tons of Ace rags and Kcx hands that people will limp call with. What solver are you running a 3-way limped pot through? The fact you even mentioned a solver here is comical.
@@Scotthoho when I said they’re cautious I meant as the PFR. I’m not advocating blasting this board and I’m certainly not giving 1/3 players the credit for knowing they have more suited hands in their limp-call range because people who open limp don’t know this and won’t exploit that fact. I’m advocating using an exploitative size that is larger than 1/4 on the flop and then sizing down on the turn to keep in the draws You really think someone who limp called with a hand like A9o or KsX is going to fold to a 33-50% bet on the flop? Absolutely not, because low stakes players love to call. Worrying about being counter exploited by people who open limp is just not going to be the most profitable style.
1. On the mono tuned boards, if you bet, they are feeler bets to see how many players you have to deal with, and who might be drawing to the long A or K high flush. You did fine, based upon the pot size in my opinion. 2. When you hit your straight flush, you again played it well. You where lucky that the person behind you bet, then the next player min-raised. All you can do is call, hopefully the person behind you is strong enough to call or raise. If you raised the turn they both will fold, their bets where true feelers, if raised, they are both folding. Call, and pray someone hits a full house on the river, too bad you weren't up against at least another straight, or the nut flush, only change of a call of any river bet. You got to let them try to improve when you are that nutted. Well done sir. I watched the stream, to bad you could catch many cards to get much going. I thought you played a good game.
Just started watching your channel. So far I've learned so much and enjoy the channel in general. Thanks for everything & for proving us with more content.
Amazing! Nice win and WOW on that straight flush!! I’d have shown it, especially if it was my last hand of the night. Can’t wait to see your live stream recaps.
Great stuff! I think the Q9hh hand was played optimally. If you 3 bet a min raise on the turn, you look ridiculously strong. All bluffs would have called the turn min raise and jammed the river. You just have to hope for a blank.
if your opponent is good for example they would check raise with nut flush draw or semi bluff on a monotone board i think playing a decent hand passively is better but if they are weak keep barreling and charge them if theyre drawing to the 4th card of that suit. Also position matters a ton with monotone boards.
i was ready to subscribe,but untill i saw your last hand and your thoughts in the turn i cchanged my mind,it was a solid call without thinking,in a four hand sraight flush,its not late to become a shepherd
I fold most suited flops if I dont have the suit, depending on the position initiate a bet en evaluate the turn to maybe get a free check back on the turn.
So when I connect on monotone boards, amd I’m leading the action, I like a 2/3rd size bet. You want to price out any non paired flush draws, and you need to build a pot to really price them out on the turn id they get sticky. If they happened to flip it, they’ll usually let you know on the turn. But if you bet small as you did, you’re sucking them into value town if they hit, and they’re getting away cheap if they don’t. Just my humble opinion.
Tread lightly on monochrome boards and bet for value to narrow opponents range to two pair or top pair with a high spade. Good luck dude. Nice last hand
I hope there's no high hand bonus there for ur straight flush since u mucked it. I think with a straight flush or quads u can just show the table and not care if u give away any information since they happen so infrequently and are fun to show the players how lucky u got.
Information is information. Should never show straight flush or quads if you are in the business of making money. If you’re in the business of fun then by all means.
If you are at a loose gambling table nothing wrong with showing huge hands. It’s not like these ppl are taking notes on your play and it encourages others to make bad calls drawing to 2 outs just to show their boat/sf/quads too.
@@michjones1892 There is something wrong with showing hands. You’re giving away information. There’s nothing wrong with not showing your hands unless you’re in the business of making fun.
@@rogerrivers1626 Yes because the 1/3 regs are going to take notes of how you play your straight flush draws and use GTO solver work to node lock you and exploit you to the max. lmao, do you also wear sunglasses at the poker table?
Great play, looking back to the stream, u got some tough competitions, looks like u n skull mike r rivals, didn't really like that guy but he's a good player for sure! Keep the great work up, I'm here to support
You can't enter this as a $210 win. You need to subtract everything you paid to play - membership, hourly, tips. Also the rules aren't Texas based. At least not the tip chip part. Where I am we can tip off our stack. And where I play we have a promo drop but no "rake."
So on a monotone board like in your session, I would go for a large bet (3/4 pot to pot) with your strongest pairs/two pairs, espacially multiway, to charge one spade hands, e.g. Ac Ts. Since your opponents are in the LJ + HJ and assuming they play with a decent range, there are only KJ, KT, JT, T9 (all spades) = 4 combos (aka no that many) of flushes that beat you. But these hands can also be in your UTG range, so a large bet really puts your opponents to the test, whether they have something or not. Flopping a flush is really hard, so if you are getting called, I would continue fire large on later streets, if they brick out, and checking almost 100% of the time, if a 4th spade hits the board. Of course it depends on player tendencies, if they only call their strongest hands, you need to know when to shut down. However playing in position on a monotone board, I usually cbet all streets with a small bet (25%) with almost any two cards. Mostly your opponent will float the flop (overcards, or some one pair holding), but betting again on turn and river really looks like, you are trying to milk your opponent. Small bluffs also do not have to work too often, so you can easily fold to a raise and if your opponents calls you down, it just happens. You need to think how you would play your flopped flush. If the board is locked up, I would mix between check, to induce bluffs, or bet small trying to milk, because of the scary board texture.
Great video! Awesome content as usual. Just curious, do they not have a high hand jackpot/promotion at the Lodge? If they did you should have tabled your straight flush to cash that in. If they don't then your decision not to table your hand makes perfect sense.
I was playing in Nashua NH . on the button i got KQ both spades i raised it $20 the small calls and middle position calls. 3 to the flop the flop is J/8/6 all spades small blind checks MP bets $40 i raise to $100 , small blind calls , MP ships it all in for about $500 i snap call and small blind rips it all in for another $300 to me i snap call and we all have a flush. MP 10/4 SB has A/9 and scoops the pot. I never saw 3 people flop a flush before or since even on a poker video!
There are things you do that other content creators don’t do and it’s really nice to see Goodluck in your venture and if you come to South Florida to play at hardrock or coconut creek DM me
@ 3:45 is a perfect squeeze opportunity. BB's raise to $15 after 5 other players have limped the $5 straddle is just a 'pot sweetener' raise vs. attempting to fold out opponents with strong/value hand. A limp/re-raise to ~$125 or ~$150 looks incredibly strong and takes down ~$140 of dead money already out there a large amount of the time given how the action played out. BB is also then hard pressed to defend KQs OOP facing 8X or 10X size raise with her remaining stack depth (looks like ~$550?)...and no one else has shown any strength either. Also your 77 plays ok post-flop IP, especially as a PF 3-bettor - you'd have range advantage over BB.
When a player has two suited hole cards, they will flop of flush and only one of every 115 -120 flops. Pretty close to that number. So assume they did not flop a flush when there are three of us suit on the flop. On the rare occasions that they did and you have a strong hand, of course you will lose but not often enough to be afraid of the flopped flush.
I think there's no right way to play suited Boards, if you dont have the right suit. Everyone has to have a problem in playing these situations the right way. I think small bets for value and a easy fold in case of a raise. Greetings from Austria
This is old so prolly figured it by now. However monotone boards should be checked OOP to IP player/s. Flushes favor IP and caller players as they will play/ call more suited hands then you generally raise. AQo hand on all spade board I would of played passive as you do not have a nut advantage on this board. Even when you have the nut flush blocker generally better to check and then analyze weather a good spot to XR.
@@PokerBEAST You as well. You had a straight flush the hand you left right?...the very next hand I flopped a straight flush against Hennessey guy. 😄 I had 2 straight flushes and quad 5s that night. Bizarre 😁
Did this casino not have a high hand bonus? Mad respect for not showing the nuts, just thought you might have gotten paid a little more if they did. Great session!
I actually think 78 was very plausible for him that hand, his turn call really narrowed his range and was very scary when he knows he has another player behind him
On the A♣️Q♣️ i would have like to have seen what he did if you went all in for the $611. I know 450 isnt that much less but that might have just been enough for him to lay it down. But if your going to apply pressure, mid as well be MAX pressure. Either way i still think he calls if u jam. Great vlog man!! Keep em coming!
Queen 9 played it same way as the ace queen put a small feeler bet off 40 dollars on the flop person jack 10 calls check raise the turn river kills your hand but u build the pot that way
I don't know where you normally play that let you bring back chips that cross the line. Well the exception is if you announce your raise or bet ahead of time.
@@PokerBEAST yeah, most casinos don’t allow you to do that. The reason is simple, you get a reaction out of your opponents that you can use to your advantage. It’s known as forward motion. Same thing with a string bet, multiple moves across the line are not allowed. I follow the “announce your bet” before I bet, that way there is no ambiguous rule issues.
Most poker rooms in Vegas don't have a betting line. You can cut stack in your hand, to any bet size up to what you're holding, after forward motion, but you cannot add chips to it. That would be a string bet. Illegal.
I really enjoy your vlog, you take the sensible route playing and know that you can’t win every hand and don’t go on a “rampage”. 😅 (see what I did there?)

What Vlog do you compare your style to most? I feel a strong Brad Owen vibe, I like it.
Great video! Awesome content as usual. Just curious, do they not have a high hand jackpot/promotion at the Lodge? If they did you should have tabled your straight flush to cash that in. If they don't then your decision not to table your hand makes perfect sense.
@ 13:30 mark - "It's about 3:00 AM in the morning" LOL...kinda like saying "This spicy tuna sushi roll tastes fishy."
I was playing in Nashua NH . on the button i got KQ both spades i raised it $20 the small calls and middle position calls. 3 to the flop the flop is J/8/6 all spades small blind checks MP bets $40 i raise to $100 , small blind calls , MP ships it all in for about $500 i snap call and small blind rips it all in for another $300 to me i snap call and we all have a flush. MP 10/4 SB has A/9 and scoops the pot. I never saw 3 people flop a flush before or since even on a poker video!
@6:38 it wasn't a gutshot it was a double belly buster! You're even better than you thought!
lol I thought this was click bait with the pocket 7s hand where you made the flush and straight. then got to see the goods!
Very Proud 💯👍🏼 Don't GIVE them Anything...
You stopped off at the kiddy game... gots to make out to the big boy poker city.
There are things you do that other content creators don’t do and it’s really nice to see Goodluck in your venture and if you come to South Florida to play at hardrock or coconut creek DM me
Strong work. You've made massive improvements. Where are you gaining all this new knowledge?
The villian with the pocket 10's... oof. Get that guy at my table.
I am new subscriber. I am not player like you but I enjoy watching your vlog.
@ 3:45 is a perfect squeeze opportunity. BB's raise to $15 after 5 other players have limped the $5 straddle is just a 'pot sweetener' raise vs. attempting to fold out opponents with strong/value hand. A limp/re-raise to ~$125 or ~$150 looks incredibly strong and takes down ~$140 of dead money already out there a large amount of the time given how the action played out. BB is also then hard pressed to defend KQs OOP facing 8X or 10X size raise with her remaining stack depth (looks like ~$550?)...and no one else has shown any strength either. Also your 77 plays ok post-flop IP, especially as a PF 3-bettor - you'd have range advantage over BB.
Nice, I hit SF on Saturday 8 high one with 85[h] backdoored it 😊
When a player has two suited hole cards, they will flop of flush and only one of every 115 -120 flops. Pretty close to that number. So assume they did not flop a flush when there are three of us suit on the flop. On the rare occasions that they did and you have a strong hand, of course you will lose but not often enough to be afraid of the flopped flush.
You said what crosses the line is the bet but at 6:48 you see her putting chips back into her stack
I noticed that too, she must have announced her bet size
You need to try the action in Dallas.
I think there's no right way to play suited Boards, if you dont have the right suit. Everyone has to have a problem in playing these situations the right way. I think small bets for value and a easy fold in case of a raise. Greetings from Austria
I think since you have no spade u check, call any bet small enough and see a turn
The deck made like hay...LOL
This is old so prolly figured it by now. However monotone boards should be checked OOP to IP player/s. Flushes favor IP and caller players as they will play/ call more suited hands then you generally raise. AQo hand on all spade board I would of played passive as you do not have a nut advantage on this board. Even when you have the nut flush blocker generally better to check and then analyze weather a good spot to XR.
I dont think I could have not shown the straight flush. I like the oohs and ahhs. Narcissist in me. You were very disciplined.
Poker beast other than Brad Owen he’s the best!!!
Hey Cato..Where are you man ? you have not posted any for three weeks, are you ok? I hope you read this and respond..
7:49 thats why you should raise your big cards
Well well well...he has a voice! Up for playing again anytime. Someone spotted me and posted it to my Facebook. 😎 Welcome to Texas ✌🏻
Nice playing with you!
@@PokerBEAST You as well. You had a straight flush the hand you left right?...the very next hand I flopped a straight flush against Hennessey guy. 😄 I had 2 straight flushes and quad 5s that night. Bizarre 😁
Did this casino not have a high hand bonus? Mad respect for not showing the nuts, just thought you might have gotten paid a little more if they did. Great session!
Such a sick feeling to muck not show the winning str flush. U must have felt like an old timer there!
Holy cow. Straight flush!!!
I actually think 78 was very plausible for him that hand, his turn call really narrowed his range and was very scary when he knows he has another player behind him
I figured he’d raise with the draws out there
Mah G back at it again
Cool session. Nice st. flush! Not showing it was awesome!
AQ when you get 3 callers in Texas, you are not going to get that through...his $200 call on the turn SCREAMS I am not folding
Dude when you make a straight flush or quads you have to show, it's one of the rules of poker ;)
plus there could be some high hand going on you dont want just fold away
@@anthonycarchidi3rd123 The Lodge doesn't have any high hand bonus. There is a bad beat but that's it.
Need to ask about bonus hands. Some poker rooms in Texas pay a bonus for high hands.
If your ever in ohio around dayton area come over to mad river poker club!
It's easy to play suited flops, just have the nut flush there.
On the A♣️Q♣️ i would have like to have seen what he did if you went all in for the $611. I know 450 isnt that much less but that might have just been enough for him to lay it down. But if your going to apply pressure, mid as well be MAX pressure. Either way i still think he calls if u jam. Great vlog man!! Keep em coming!
All in Jams are important, I have a very hard time with them. I wish I would have shoved. Probably the same outcome, but it gives him worse odds.
Queen 9 played it same way as the ace queen put a small feeler bet off 40 dollars on the flop person jack 10 calls check raise the turn river kills your hand but u build the pot that way
I don't know where you normally play that let you bring back chips that cross the line. Well the exception is if you announce your raise or bet ahead of time.
I play in California, betting lines doesn’t exist here and the rules are very lax compared to most. It fosters bad habits.
@@PokerBEAST yeah, most casinos don’t allow you to do that. The reason is simple, you get a reaction out of your opponents that you can use to your advantage. It’s known as forward motion. Same thing with a string bet, multiple moves across the line are not allowed. I follow the “announce your bet” before I bet, that way there is no ambiguous rule issues.
Most poker rooms in Vegas don't have a betting line. You can cut stack in your hand, to any bet size up to what you're holding, after forward motion, but you cannot add chips to it.
That would be a string bet. Illegal.
it’s your last hand of the day and you make a straight flush? i woulda shown
nice fold on pocket 7's
All of these hands are prefect examples of cash tilt. You've done well for several sessions, now you're dumping.
Great rebound Beastie boy. 👍
I really enjoy your vlog, you take the sensible route playing and know that you can’t win every hand and don’t go on a “rampage”. 😅
(see what I did there?)
You're in top 3 poker vlogs
Does the Lodge not have any high hand promotions? You may have missed out on a nice extra payday by not showing.
only do half your stack with nut straight flush when youre first to act after river.
