When do you think I'll post another video?
Tomorrow morning
Lets go ! Your video's are great. Greetings from Europe.
Like my absent father you'll be back once or twice more this year
In 5 minutes
Hopefully next week, realistically in 4 months
I respect the hell out of anyone who is willing to consistently show their losses not just their wins
Gambling is easy. Winning is the hard part.
Poker isn't gambling, it's a game of skill. Not a game of chance.
@@IzzyTheEditor you're right. I skilled myself into pocket Aces the other day.
@@IzzyTheEditor It's a combination of both ofc, and in times where more and more people learn how to play poker the element of luck is increasing.
@@ViennaSteeler You're just too good
@@IzzyTheEditor Poker is a game with high variance. You can do everything right and still lose.

Could be soon, and wih Rampage and Mariano.

but he is in Portland apparently lol i think that qualifies by default
@@feellikeshitz3783 Shame
if you are in financial trouble, dont play poker
False!
False. All you need is a chip and a chair.
Or, if you’re in financial trouble play poker
Dont play….”be” poker
Quite the opposite. We only have one life and it is a drag race not a marathon. GO ALL IN AND DOUBLE UP!
Hi, everyone, poker isn't a real living, no matter what anyone says. The problem is variance: it's inevitable and happens to the best players. Unless you have a deep bankroll, my advice is to play your best poker with a budget you can afford, whether it's tournament or cash game. Play serious but have fun as well. You are going to lose some but definitely try to win some more. Just don't make a living out of this. Not sustainable.
So ,just have a deep bankroll. ;)
Yep, agree completely. When I used to play with friends, we'd all put up 5 or 10 bucks for the evening and played at someone's house. You have a great night, losing 5 or 10 is nothing, but the winner goes home with 50 or so and has a cool story at work on Monday, it's a win win really. But yeah I've also seen the other side when a guy regressed into playing Pokerstars for 60 hours a week and ending up thousands in the hole.
@@raftermanhoward1883 And Ive seen the other side where guy plays 60 hours a week on pokerstars and ends up tens of thousands ahead until he has millions. May be fewer of those but they repeatedly make the money for decades.
@@raftermanhoward1883Always the same people winning in my experience.
@JillIvory-p1e I'm talking about the 99% of people out there, not the 1% that managed to pull it off like Daniel Negreanu or Phil Heilmuth. Sure, it's very doable but not sustainable without a second income.
I still think having a proper bank roll is the #1 most important thing for anyone that wants to give professional poker a shot. Even with strong play, variance is still a major factor. Check poker variance calculators and you'll see that even with a very solid win rate, there's still very significant percentage chance (20-30%) you'll wind up in the red, even after tens of thousands of hand.
So I think the first evaluation is do you really want to play 1/2 NL cash games when all you have is 2k to gamble with (or worse, 2k to your name in general)? Assuming you're buying in for around 200 each time, that's only 10 buy ins. That's no where near enough to ride through variance, even with perfect play, if you run into bad luck.
100% accurate my friend
But what if you don't have bad luck
Accurate. I've gone broke twice playing live 1/2. I started a bankroll with just $300 (1 buy in) ran it up to around $3500 and got hit by variance and went broke. Started again with $300. Ran up to $4200 and got hit by a 2.5 month long down swing and went broke. I actually went into the red by taking money from my paychecks to continue playing. On my 3rd one now and back up to $2200 in the black. I have a full time job and can afford to supplement my roll if need be. But my goal is to build a poker bank to 10k then start supplementing my income with everything over the 10k.
Thats poker my friend you cant win it all. There's even come to the point that you gonna have a "hell week" . The most important for winning poker is actually a bankroll. 😂
Variance = denial that you're just gambling. It's the belief that if you just keep gambling, things will turn around.
Holy shit as someone who’s been watching poker vlogs everyday for about a year , I just stumbled on the our page and this video in particular , this is single handedly one of my favorite poker vlog videos ever , you’re hilarious dude lol, keep this up please !!
Bro, I actually believe you have the potential of becoming a trendsetter by just being your genuine self, making these videos.
Nah he really does. These videos are funny and insightful
I find it funny you think he's the only one making these exact videos. 😂
THIS
Did you mean trendsetter or transgender?
i legit read transgender lmao

Unspoken hero ending
Damn he took you to the poker streets with the 67. Complete air. Dude wasn't even playing his cards he was playing you. Hit you with the '89 no limit hustle then showed you the bluff XD that's cold af
very very cold. Tilt central. there is no way you arrest calling that guy. at least call, even better to re raise.
He built his loose rep by doing that. Op read him as loose but that is what he wanted. Usually players show a bluff like that to get action so that hand will be out of their range after the show he just plays tight and lets the image do the work.
He just knew op was scared with that little value bet so he shoved it into his face😂
somehow, even though it tends to be winning videos that are more enjoyable to watch. this was definitely one of the most entertaining videos ive watched so props to you for that. i learned a lot of about reads too. keep up the great youtube work, i wish you the best of luck in your poker journey brother
yea u can learn a lot about losses. i know i gave up a big tell onmyself last time i played lol. i ofc drew poorly on community. and did something. i ofc caugth myself but knew was to late.. 1 person paying attention ofc raised i was like.......... gg. but i filed that in my mind. 30 mins later us 2 in same hand. this time i hit my hand. i ofc did same bs upset thing, caught myself and recomposed myself... as if shit no one saw that right? he ofc raised....... lol i had best hand possible all cards out. so i called, raised whateve i just know i won 200 bucks. his eyes wheni laid down lol. he knew he was played.
his reads weren't even accurate half the time. he thinks he knows way more than he does. like... he thinks overbets are bluffs when in my experience they're almost always for value. especially at low/mid stakes.
I was literally just watching your old videos, wondering if you’d ever come back, and here you are. So happy you’re back!
15 years ago I was playing NL1/2 during the WSOP at a Strip casino when a young fellow who'd been playing a lot the past weeks almost broke down in tears. It was the last week of the WSOP and he poured his heart out to me.
"I don't understand this. I'm the best player at my home town casino. I make so much money. I came here with my whole $40K bankroll and started playing NL5/10. I lost $20K in two days! I dropped to NL2/5 and lost another $10K in a less than a week. Now I'm playing NL1/2 and I've lost almost the whole remaining $10K the last 4 weeks. I'm broke. I don't know what I'm going to do. When I get home I'm going to have to get a JOOOOOOoooooob!!!"
Home town skillz don't always translate. And Vegas games are much harder now than 15 years ago.
@frotoe9289 5/10 game dynamics vary significantly from 2/5 particularly across regions. I'm struggling to understand how this guy lost 7 buy-ins at 5/10 in 2 days, and then lost 8 or so buy-ins at 2/5 in a week. I must assume the guy has a VPIP of 50+ and simply doesn't know how to fold. I also don't believe there's anywhere in the US that someone with this high VPIP could sustain (2k+hours) any reasonable win rate.
Vegas gamblers were and still are really bad at poker. He (and seemingly you too) took the wrong conclusions from this experience, the issue was that he was playing in an environment where you can lose 20k in two days with a 40k bankroll, that's extremely silly. Poker is a badly designed game where being better than your opponent almost never matters.
you made this up
@@anatolytsinker5317 Not even a little. I'd played in that room regularly because they were doing giveaways for $1K, $2K and $10K WSOP tournament seats, but you had to get lotsa hours to get your name in the drawing. And this new guy was playing NL1/2 with us hour after hour. He started out friendly and talkative and after a few weeks he was sullen and quiet and finally after losing another all-in he kinda broke down.
The most important skill to survive as a long term pro player has nothing to do with your play; it's bankroll management. You need money to play, and you can't win if you're not playing. Being able to weather brutal downswings and stay in the game is more important than anything else.
Way too high stakes compared to your bank roll size. Doesn’t cover variance.
yea very poor bankroll/risk management...
It's bloody easy to look like a hero with live reading abilities when you cherry pick spots that you were correct and leave out the other 98% of hands that were wrong.
and he wasnt even right on some of them
and also when they were completely irrelevant to the hand. gets AA vs TP then thanks his liveread to sell a course lol. vid is just an advert
...I agree, especially when we consider what I see as an obvious tell... selling point.... when he says every micro move, when the fact of the matter or TRUTH... a tell is an indicator and a READ, is something that takes player dependency and history.
The second hand where the button calls casually suggests he never has a flush....is a lol delusional fantasy, a selling of a dream, where in of itself is the ear markings and or proof positive enough..... you cannot light your money on fire and purchase what this gender neutral entity is attempting to sell.
Not to mention his God awful bet sizing where the first hand..... he's fortunate this table is passive as all hell.
....AA is hard pressed to call a raise on that River....what bluff are you beating with nothing more than a unfounded trendy tell that cannot possibly be relied upon COLD and out of hand.
....his bet sizing isn't suggesting a correlation of knowing where he supposedly/expertly advisingly is at....this must be admitted.
Buyer beware ie; run away, seriously. This ain't hater-aid I promise you...
....44 I meant, not AA
@@badswimmer-h2bIdk? His thinking made sense there. If you're insta-calling on that board and can beat AA then you really suck. 2 pair you'd have to raise and see where you're at. Only the nuts might check quickly
When you make a small bet like that out of position on the river with that AQ hand you’re pretty much begging the guy in position to raise you and you should’ve expected that
Exactly...check...to induce
@@russellalesi5715 check on the river?
Shoulda just shoved flop if you're not folding to the raise.
Bro you should not be selling a course on poker
You really got him
i’m not sure you’re nailing these tells
You're easily my favorite poker TH-camr man. Your vids are always entertaining, educational and funny. You clearly know what you're doing but just got unlucky in these sessions. I hope the poker gods don't screw you over as much in the future haha
Been playing poker for almost 9 years now, absolutely love the game, big fan of all its components and never miss the big games. Always have this fantasy of going to Vegas and face off against the greats in the WSOP. All it takes to snap back to reality is seeing Ivey, Negreanu, Ungar or Doyle play. Then I'm immediately reminded which levels there are to this game.
Judging by the success of your yt channel, I doubt that you actually have only 2k left. Pretending to be broke is just a narrative that makes your story look more interesting. My advise to everyone though is simple. Poker is DEFINITELY NOT the way to brake the chains of poverty. The narrative of “poker success”, is advertised and sold relentlessly, but in reality in the whole world, there is only a handful of poker players (no more than 30 persons) that became rich from zero and stayed rich. In addition they made most of their money from selling poker content, rather then playing the game of poker (Negreanu etc.) Everyone else loses. Even top tier professionals with huge wins and bankrolls like Gus Hansen, Eric Lindgren, Mike matusow went broke. Phenomenal talents of the game such as Tom Dwan, Victor “isildur” Blom, today are deep into dept and sentenced to a lifetime of misery. If you want to play for fun, it’s fine. But don’t go beyond that level.
I just called my heroin coach after my stash got empty. He told me to get new drugs, so I went to atm and bought some more. That's what it sounds like. When betting you always loose on the long run. Thats the whole deal about betting & gambling. So lucky I never played for money or used loot boxes.
I mean, if this is a series and how it started jello could have entered broke and the stories just continuing with the narrative. It's like saying "hey, in the middle of this series, I won the lottery... but...still gambling with the same general sum"
He’s finally back
this is why i always liked playing against people that understand poker. so many people just like you assume that i got nothing because i snap call. its pretty amusing how often that works when you are sitting on a monster
Yeah I've always liked "counter-tells". When you notice that they are playing YOUR 'tells', you can turn that around to your advantage.
yea this guy's biggest mistake is he knows too much
*thinking he knows a lot
1:04 Broke? I travel in worlds you cannot comprehend... by bus...
This is poker addiction folks.
He seems to be trying to actually understand it and learn strategies. That is more just passionate. Addiction would be uncontrolled obsession to play.
@@CruceEntertainment trying to learn startegies? lul. Maybe he should try to learn an actual game of skill instead of gambling his life savings.
Aint no strategy in a casino cash game. It's a free for all
"I'm tired of working a job I don't like . . . " what follows that statement is always a string of bad decisions to avoid work.
Indeed.
King punta, thank you for the vid I love your sense of humour. Rooting for you and I hope you continue breaking down diff poker concepts, it’s really good 😮💨🤧
So glad you’re back. Please post more!!!
All pros did it, go to Vegas, loose your bankroll, get more money, go back to Vegas, repeat until you’re a pro. Learn from your mistakes and throw some tough hands into the simulator. I have heard a lot of pros say to keep your preflop bet sizing consistent, so opponents can’t sniff out your hand or tell when you’re tilted.
I don’t understand this video or your logic at all. The whole beginning of the video talked about timing tells where when your opponent made instant bets it was usually perceived as weakness. In the final hand when the loosest player at the table instantly raised you on the flop and instantly check jammed you on the river, it seemed like an easy call with top pair. I know it can be scary calling a big bet like that but making those calls are the difference between winning and losing sessions.
Please don't listen to this post...
Yeah keep calling raises on the river oop...
Wtf it was most definitely a call
He checked the turn so he would have enough to jam the river and look scary.
@@tophmalone1324 where do you play?
I hate I wasted my time watching this video. I wish I could play against this guy and felt him lol
I found your channel a couple months ago, and have been enjoying it since. Your humour is great, and I learned a lot about poker as well. I really hope youtube gods spare you and let you continue with this channel
i got click baited
Mr 4 bet. I have binge watched all your videos. I love your channel but now that ive run out of content i cant find anyone who has the same authenticity as you while actually explaining your thought process. I am new to poker and you have taught me so much. If you could recommend any channels similar to you i would be extremely grateful
2:58 Good stuff. I watched this vid and earlier today noticed villain overbet pot for $100 on the Turn way too fast when the King of Hearts came out, giving me top two but completing the front door heart draw. I remembered this part of this video where you start to talk about timing tells and how fast betting often signals weakness. I ended up calling and it went check-check on the River when a fourth heart came out. I won. This was 1/3 at the Wynn. Came back to mention I am going to buy your video guide on Live Tells Mastery you mention at 6:10. This tip in this YT alone has paid for it.
P.S. Keep going and be you. Don’t try to copy plots/storylines of other channels.
man i love hearing this, glad my videos helped you out! thanks for the support!
This is the most entertaining poker channel I've come across. Please do more. 🙏
Like a phoenix from the ashes of Oregon, he returns. I didn't know there was two sets of lingo in poker. You've got a real niche with live tells and it's a good one for YT; it's not traditional numbers talk and its ripe for wisecrack theatrics. Best Poker Channel.
Honestly one of the best poker vloggers going, relatable and you put time into your graphics making it easy and entertaining to follow and understand
Thats the attitude, same attitude I had when I quite working corporate IT and went self employed and never looked back. That was 2015.
Solid content. Looking forward to more.
Really liked the "Ace on the River" quick shot at the end. I used to play with Barry all the time in the 40-80 limit game at Commerce. Great guy.
Holy crap. I subscribed a day ago. And he posts for the first time in 6 months. Its a sign!

@@ShadyD365 fear of admitting your not a winning player? Just like paying higher rake and winning less. Face the facts. Its ok to play poker for fun
Possibly bankroll
@@JamesWilson-sb9iqtypically when you start grinding you have bankroll separate from your day to day costs. That way your bankroll is guaranteed to increase if your winning and you can get to higher stakes and actually making money worth saving
It’s really simple….money management. Surprised that’s lost on you.

Dropped a follow just for the sincerity. Hope your bankroll survives and you can keep making these videos and accurately describing the true struggle of low-mid stakes poker in this day and age.
Your videos are incredibly well made
Very enjoyable vlog, good job. Loved the coach's advice! That AQ hand man, that's a blender. Fish do seem to have become more aggro over the last year.
I’m so hype you’re back
The amateur in me says, you play well kind sir. I have been on a 8 month downswing after a very profitable 13month upswing. It gets better.
@@evansk9451 I had a horrible downswing from about February last year to this April. It happens. Lose AA to KK all-in and rebuy. Same guy raises, both blinds call. I'm bb with AT. Flop is TT3. Same villain has 33. It was almost that bad for a year straight so I didn't play nearly as much. Now I'm on a nice heater. $2k, $1300 win at $1-3. Yesterday only won like $80 but flipped quad 9s won $500 best hand. It will turn, but just keep trying to get better and don't settle for being seated at a table full of nits or sharks. We'll have 8-10 tables on a weekend so I move around til I find a table with action
The goat has returned
Honestly I think your poker videos are the most entertaining on TH-cam. I laugh out loud multiple times every video. Maybe in your pursuit of becoming a pro poker player your TH-cam channel will take off and you can make a living that way. Keep it up!
Great storytelling on this one. I really enjoyed it.
Love your channel, great content! Here's my opinion on playing poker for a living...and this is based on my experience having invested well, sold my portion of a company and retired comfortably at the age of 45. Bankroll management is a priority of course...but game selection is overlooked. It's not just the stakes, but the type of poker game...the location of the game and the rake ( casino ) or the hourly seat cost ( poker club ).
Keep in mind people didn't fly all the way to Las Vegas...stand in long lines...get dressed up...talk shit to their friends about "being a table sheriff" just to fold a $40 pre-flop raise out of position in a 1/3 game with $200 behind with a four/nine off suit...multiple people will call...you...me...no one can beat the rake & variance constantly.
The amount of collusion taking place in the 2/5 and 5/10 games in Las Vegas is real...of course not every table at every casino...but it's prevalent and naive to think otherwise. See the tourist are around for a few days at a time and continuously change...so three really good, smart and experienced guys who work together for mutual profit can and do influence the out come to many games. Best of luck to everyone
When someone told me it doesn’t matter how he got into his current financial predicament but he will get out of it, I’m like, how do you go to where you want to get to, when you don’t even know how you got to where you are?
Great vlog. I am so glad that I stumbled upon your poker vlog yesterday. Your videos are very well done, with great poker, excellent dialogue and some fun movie and tv snippets thrown in. Thank you for your efforts and for producing such enjoyable content! I hope you make it to the Main Event in Vegas next year (it’s on my Bucket List as well)! 🍀🍀🍀
Misleading title. Glad you lost your money. Downvoted.

My interest in poker is directly connected to your uploading schedule. Today I played my first game in six months
Commenting for the algorithm 😛
Funny video as usual! Concerning the AQ hand i think we probably have a good bluff catcher on the river. Vilain checked back on the turn despite a very wet board. I cannot imagine he would do that often with J9, 33 or Q10.
Don't quit your day job.
You don't understand. He's gonna make it big in gambling :)
Bro i understand you completely. Last week I had the best game ever and won very big with many straights, full houses and flushes, just a crazy lucky day.
However, the last two days I played, i had the worst days. I had the worst bad beats ever and lost almost everything i won last week.
Some examples: Set of 8’s on 8, 10,Q flop. I lost to a straight. Pocket Q, I lose to a king on the turn. Lose with 7-J straight to a higher straight.
Some days you will just have some shit luck, no matter what you do. But don’t give up, more luck will come back eventually and you will make the big win you always wanted. Love your videos!
you had bad beats because you misread the situation and made mistakes. QQ with a king on the turn, you should never have even been there after the turn.
I played sem-pro about 17 years ago. Would go to Foxwoods every weekend to play poker. Made rules for myself. 1. If I made double my buy-in (playing 2/5 NL), take a meal break. 2. No playing longer than 8 hours, and after 4 hours, take a meal break (unless I already took one). 3. If I lost my buy-in, I don't buy back in. I left Foxwoods every weekend with an average of $1,400 every weekend for 6 months, until I met my girlfriend who I am now married to. Just little things like that help out a lot.
I skipped a month when I made $6,400 in a weekend. I made $900 in my first 2 hands (QQ, then KK), then took a break. I bought in for $500 again after eating, made $2k until I reached the 4 hour mark. I took a break to eat some dessert. Bought in for $500 again, lost it in about 2 hours, went to my hotel room to relax and sleep. The next day, I bought in for $500, got up to $4k before my 4-hour break. Mostly from a Canadian woman who was running crazy until we kept going head's up 3 hands in a row, and she lost it all. After my meal, I decided to head home instead of playing another 4 hours. Probably could have made it as a pro, but I just played for fun.
I’m not much of a poker guru but wouldn’t relying too heavily on live poker reads not be a little bit too risky considering reverse psychology is a real possibility?

Hey bro good to see your content again. Hopefully life is treating you better then on the felt. Believe in your dreams, shoot for the stars. You got this! My dream is the main event as well and i hope to see you there!!!
As a long term gambler, there is only one piece of advice I can give from my experience and my observations of watching other people gamble. No matter how good you are at any game, no matter how well you can read body language or count cards, the only people who win have 2 major advantages over the rest. First, they know how to gain an advantage in the game by either negotiating favourable terms with the casino, 'sort edging', 'card counting' or simply cheating. Secondly. They are simply lucky. Some people really do have relentless luck no matter what they do or how they play. It is just a fact of life, just the same as the fact there are unlucky people, who, play the perfect game and still lose. From watching this video, it is clear that you are in the zone of the unlucky loser. You play well, are full of poker knowledge, but, alas, I feel like you one of the who may end up betting on red, but hit a triple zero. I am 60 and have very little t show for gambling for 20 years. My advice would be to get out while you can, change your job to one which you can tolerate, and try and make money some other way. A guaranteed dollar is worth much more than a pipe dream million.

Keep making videos and grow your bankroll with comedy in various ways. You’re funny af
You got me confused in first 2 minutes.. You played for a decade, but don't understand the concept of bankroll menagmemt?
That is what makes or brakes a player as proffesional or an amateur.
Unless you got a positive saldo from that decade, I would just avoid talking about it.
Anyone can play poker. Anyone can win, and I do min anyone can win versus a single hand, no mater who the villain is.. Against anyone, place name of your favorite poker player here.
The problem is, not only do you need to be profitable, most of your reads, value calls, bluff catching correct, but you also need to be so sure of the rest of your life, so precise with your bankroll menagment, that once a multiweek of even multi month bad variance strikes, you are just dropping a level and not going broke and finished with the game.
Poker is a marathon, that you can sometimes turn into a sprint, if you menage to tilt someone.. But you need to have enough buyins and understand variance.
AA is the best hand preflop only.. Unless you went all in preflop..

Not to mention it's "early in the session" and he's already down $121 which is over 30% of his buy-in....
Lowkey you are my favorite poker TH-camr. Keep grinding king.
You probably think your intro sounds good and wonderful, but to me it's pretty much just saying that you want to be able to get by in the world (actually more than get by - you want to live well) without giving anything back to the world. I don't find that very impressive at all.
for the aa hand bet huge on the turn. that queen is probably coming along anyway and you need to protect against the plethora of draws. not only protect against the draws but protect against him repping the draws when it comes.
Poker is a "game of skill" but no matter what you're going to have fish, tilt, and bad luck. If you follow a strategy perfectly to a T. then over a LONG TIME you might be able to trend upward with your earnings. But let's face it- not a lot of people are going to stick to their strategy every time because we're humans. It's really not worth it to try and do it for a living. Save up what you don't feel bad to lose, and go do it for fun. But don't do it if you get hooked on things easily or you have any idea of winning. Just forget about that right now. 99% of people playing are losing. I put down online poker and started playing Chess because I'd rather play a game where you're rewarded for doing well rather than getting sucked out on the River.
Poker is as much game of skill as much chess is a game of luck
Why are you trying to play professionally live with only a few hundred in your bankroll? Bankroll management Is one of the most important parts of playing professionally. Play online if you don’t have a minimum of $8,000 set aside for poker (meaning you don’t pay bills out of that you also have in a separate account at least 3 months of living expenses. Preferably 6 months to a year)
Professional poker is still absolutely possible but the problem is that you want poker to always be fun and enjoyable. It’s not the work it takes to get to a level where you can do this professionally takes a TON of work. And it’s a very much a grind.
Pro tip, never play poker professionally, only recreationally. Even the pros lose most of the time, they just have sponsors to mitigate their losses.
I don’t know anything but I feel like you could play a little tighter with your hand also to me it seems a little tilted to go all in with pocket 9s
havent seen your channel before but im disliking and never returning after 6:41. You've already said some borderline rere sus trash and this basically confirmed I shouldn't give you any more thought or attention
Enjoy your return to this channel for some more thought and attention
How long is your Master the Art of Live Tell course ?
Telling people you're broke with $2000 in your account is extremely out of touch with reality.
I make 138k and love to tell people about it, and even I wouldn't pull this fake sympathy crap.
2,000 is broke
if u really think 2k is a lot especially in USA u are delusional
@@B3Band2k is broke my man… I can’t even pay 2 weeks of bills with 2k.
@@diogo4tDelusional is trying to get sympathy with 4 digits in your bank account. In any country.
Cool to see someone from the Portland area. Your delivery style is funny and relaxing. Even if you don’t end up being a poker star, you could do well on TH-cam.
I’d pay to keep seeing you lose. Worth it for such fun contejt
That 67 hand you gotta trust your read. You were spot on that his line didn’t make sense. Your bet size on the river indicates a one pair hand like you had, and he can represent some J9 or other slow plays on the turn that you can’t really have, so betting one pair hand can put you in a tough spot if you’re not willing to trust the read and call off sometimes.
I would’ve check called to let him bluff/overvalue worse hands
