Realistically this channel should have far more traction than is currently does. The dedication for long, difficult videos is prevalent. Great stuff man!
@@GageBohn remember that $2,000 in one month is like pulling a wisdom tooth without insurance. It is a huge amount of money and physically painful. But no one bats an eye when they spend $2,000 a year on coffee. Take breaks after big wins and big losses. Don't let the red number affect your game. Take your time working to break even. Even small $100 wins are wins. Currently my plan is to win $100 a week twice a week until I break even.
14:40: when he snap shoved I was in my head like “yeah this is just a fold”, then when I saw how this guy was stacking his chips “this is the snappiest snap fold to ever exist you’re probably already dead”
Fortune favors the bold, and you are one bold mudda fugga, bro! The poker gods have undoubtedly prepared quite the poker odyssey for your challenge, complete with majestic highs and hellish lows, strange twists and unforeseen complications. You, me, your new fan boys and the poker gods are about to find out just how bad you want this. I eagerly await your next videos. New member of Team Buffalo.
This is both awesome and inspiring. I love that you're challenging yourself to do something that's actually a challenge. I wish you the best of luck and cant wait to follow along on your journey.
Your analysis are out of this world best poker vlogs in the game by far bro keep up the good work. I learn every day from this who the fck needs a seminar when you have free content from you
I was watching this at home at night in my house, and I swear I had to keep pausing I was hearing like squeaking weird noises thought maybe a mouse got caught in a mouse trap .. then I realized it was probably a bird or something in the background video since you were outside at first lol 😂
Sam a few months into the challenge-“I’m only treading water, I don’t understand it”. Everyone - “yeah dude it’s actually unusually to flop monsters every hand.” Sam- “Oh really? Even 6/4 suited to a 3 bet?”
That’s a pretty lofty goal, but it’s going to be fun watching the journey. Best of luck, Sam! And FYI, if you like rye, a great bottle that is also monetarily responsible is wild turkey 101 rye.
Yooo just found this channel, awesome stuff- auto subscribe. I like your playstyle alot and think that you're a very strong player. As someone who plays identical stakes and may be able to offer some insight- I think the 88 and ATdd hands are punts. 88 seems like a spew to go for value OTR and I think ATdd is an easy fold considering that when he doesn't jam, you're getting shit on by his calling range, especially if we perceive his 3bet to be nutted as you were explaining in the vlog. Good stuff, can't wait to see more!
What did you do with the $108,000 from the $100,000 challenge? Just curious what stocks or holdings you bought…? How much did you pad your pockets with to start this challenge?
Bad boards for your range don't usually prevent you from betting your entire range. They usually just force you to bet a narrower, stronger range. Wow. That KK hand. Brutal. ATdd: I'm not sure about the 4bet. I think I'd be choosing between calling and folding, leaning toward folding. You have the original raiser in addition to the 3bettor behind you who could 5bet. ATs is a hand that wants to realize equity. It doesn't want to bluff all that often. It's probably fine here; I just don't like it. AQ: I think turn should be a bigger bet. The 8 doesn't uncap villain's range and he snap called the flop. He has trips, a pocket pair, or a draw. Get the value from the hands that are snap calling a smaller bet. After the smallish turn bet, I would definitely go big on river. 64s: Hate seeing the fold on the turn. Is this a good player? Does his bet sizing on the flop mean anything?
@@MaydayAggro on the AQ hand, I decided to size down just because he called so quick on the flop, seemed like he had a medium strength hand and wanted to appear strong by snap calling, didn't want to blow him off. The 64s hand was against a very good reg, he's been playing much longer than I have, and in games bigger than I play
I was looking at this casino on poker atlas to visit, but the rake seems unbeatable! Do you find the competition level offsets the drop or do you play here for convenience?
Thanks! Subscribed. Well I guess I won't check it out if it's the toughest 1-3 in the world . Great content, let me know if you travel through Oregon on this series and maybe I will punt for vlog support. @@BluffaloSam
Holy crap wow I can't wait to see what content you give us man! Good luck! U gonna be traveling around during this challenge? Or staying geographically stationary?
I love this!! I have been a fan for a while and am looking forward to following along. Question: Do you really have no money or are you just pretending you have no money?
Good goals it says $0 what but what actual net worth are you starting at? I think good advice also it’s good to have a full time job and play on the side.
Interesting challenge ahead...On a 2-5 table you can 6k a week. 2 million a doable challenge. The fund and living expenses and taxs, that hammers most people...To say well I have long term investments for a revenue but for now taking a piece and answering questions. With the 100K bank roll goal met the race to 2 million will be expected. Let the horse loose, I am curious is it 6 months or 14 months....salute'
@@BluffaloSamOkay so I didn’t see this, so I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure this is the hand I was confused about. The similar dynamics come down to the preflop action throwing me off. Pre Notes : UTG is an OMC but will raise with QQ+, AK/AQ. HJ is super OMC (won’t even raise AK or hardly anything) KK on the button. UTG limps. HJ raises to 25. LJ/ME/SB/BB/UTG call Flop 992. HJ bets 25. Only ME/UTG call Turn K. HJ bets 50. ME/UTG call River J. UTG leads 100. *(I had put UTG on pocket tens or jacks, so with this lead I assumed he rivered jacks full) HJ folds. I jam 168 eff with UTG and snap calls… w 99 🤮 Lose $268 ($780 Pot) - [ ] 3 BET PRE !! Don’t be scared of the nuts! (Results oriented I beat UTG and get the UTG limper to fold his 99) So the bottom part was my post hand thoughts about what I should’ve done differently. I think being on the button I felt more comfortable playing a smaller pot in position of the super OMC player. But with Kings this is a mandatory 3 bet regardless right? I’m sure you know 1/3 is so off the walls sometimes. There’s literally people I’ve played with I’ll fold anything but the nuts to because they’re so tight. (Poker is super soft in Reno, Nevada if you ever make your way out here)
@@BluffaloSam My go to cheap stick that is way better than they charge -- Curivari Reserva Limitada 1000 Series. Get the robusto. Great golf cigar too because even experienced cigar smokers will be impressed while the unexperienced may only smoke half of it and it was only $8 so not an issue.
When you smashed the flop (Q-J ❤️ flush), you made a nice trapping check, then you hammered the turn with the nut straight, and again made a nice trapping bet, but when a blank hit the river, you shoved all-in. I understand the maximize profit theory, but you had the entire board locked up (minus a K or A high flush), so why push him out of the pot with an all-in, rather than a value bluffy size bet like $275 to $350? I know I can see the results, but it just seemed like you made it impossible for him to call.
Pretty awesome but with the YT channel+ some poker affiliate income you should make 6 figures - if the channel grows thats how you get the 2m but I'm sure you already know that.
I think 1-1.5m is going to come from poker, rest from yt/investments. I'm very picky about sponsors, and I've spent more on youtube than I've earned so fat
@@BluffaloSam google best online casinos reach out to the affiliate companies ranking at the top and ask for advice on how to monetize more - I'm sure there is a ton of money on the table by just promoting GG or something similar. You should make good bank in this niche through sponsorships. You can also hire a VA to find and reach out to every relevant sponsor - send out 50+ good emails and you should find sponsors or affiliates that get you paid pretty well
Again, I can’t figure your strategy…you seem to like to check with made hands, keeping the pots small, but you barrel away with nothing, risking much larger pots???
One more challenge for you.....If you do not hit 15% of your $2M ($300K) by 12/31/24 you have to shave the mustache. If you do it I will share all your videos for 3 months to my 500 FB friends.
Realistically this channel should have far more traction than is currently does. The dedication for long, difficult videos is prevalent. Great stuff man!
Damn, here I am stuck on the -$5,000 to $0 challenge 😢
Stop playing bad 😂😂
Been there buddy! Gl grinding out :)
-21k
-3k and a girlfriend any advice on that grind

Ladies and gentlemen we have secured the long-term Bluffalo content.
This is actually a really awesome concept, excited to see it all the way through!!
Omg sam, I love this so much. What a wild series you’re creating! Well done
14:40: when he snap shoved I was in my head like “yeah this is just a fold”, then when I saw how this guy was stacking his chips “this is the snappiest snap fold to ever exist you’re probably already dead”
Yup 😂😂
Oh damn I am SO IN for this one! Let's go Sam I fully believe you can do this you're one of the best live players I've seen. GL bud

Nice fold with the ATdd hand against the guy with the lined up nit stacks 😂
Glad to see you back man!
This is gonna be sick! Be safe brother and good luck!
Thanks a lot fella :)
Absolute insanity. I am so ready
I was watching this at home at night in my house, and I swear I had to keep pausing I was hearing like squeaking weird noises thought maybe a mouse got caught in a mouse trap .. then I realized it was probably a bird or something in the background video since you were outside at first lol 😂
I heard that too when I was editing, took me a while to realize it was a bird too!

6 4 suited is a mandatory 4bet
VERY ambitious, I love it. I'll keep watching your vlogs and help contribute to the TH-cam income

Really excited for the challenge man GL
im here for the journey, followed

Go hit that 2 mill dude I just subscribed to be rooting for ya!!!
10 9 picks up equity for sure making the nuts 😂
You are nuts. Rooting for you all the way.
looking forward to this series
this is crazy Sam…proceed
Sun run sesh to kick off the challenge, good omen
What did you do with the $108,000 from the $100,000 challenge? Just curious what stocks or holdings you bought…? How much did you pad your pockets with to start this challenge?
Haha you are right. it was better than my 100k-1m guess
Bad boards for your range don't usually prevent you from betting your entire range. They usually just force you to bet a narrower, stronger range.
Wow. That KK hand. Brutal.
ATdd: I'm not sure about the 4bet. I think I'd be choosing between calling and folding, leaning toward folding. You have the original raiser in addition to the 3bettor behind you who could 5bet. ATs is a hand that wants to realize equity. It doesn't want to bluff all that often. It's probably fine here; I just don't like it.

Probably toughest 1/3 and 2/5 in the world 😂 the rake is high, but nowhere near unbeatable

Love it!

That KK hand is so sick, talk about an action flop
Good luck Sam, super stoked for this series I’m sure I will see you on the streets 🫡
Good luck! How often can we expect videos do you think?
Weekly
hey man - do you have another job on time of this? If not, when/how did you decide to go/try playing full time?
Holy crap wow I can't wait to see what content you give us man! Good luck! U gonna be traveling around during this challenge? Or staying geographically stationary?
A bit of travel here and there ofc!
LETSGO!!!!
I love this!! I have been a fan for a while and am looking forward to following along. Question: Do you really have no money or are you just pretending you have no money?
All my money has been moved to long term investments, I won't be touching any of it until I retire
@@BluffaloSam Ohhhhh I get it now. Ok I was slow on that one. Thanks for clarifying!
You’re nuts , GL
Jesus Christ what a run of cards lol
Good goals it says $0 what but what actual net worth are you starting at? I think good advice also it’s good to have a full time job and play on the side.
holy shit
Interesting. Some kinda spin on the Truman Show, but its self imposed. I like it
This is dope. Hopefully it works out. Edited out some negativity lol
$1000-2,000,000 challenge, got it.
How long do you think this challenge will take?
No idea
2 years - that's dedication
I gave you a tough time last video but damn didn't think you actually went broke.
What kindve investments do you have ?

Speaking of your A♦️T♦️ hand I had a hand with similarly odd dynamics yesterday I’d like to hear your thoughts on
What was it
@@BluffaloSamOkay so I didn’t see this, so I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure this is the hand I was confused about. The similar dynamics come down to the preflop action throwing me off.
Pre Notes : UTG is an OMC but will raise with QQ+, AK/AQ. HJ is super OMC (won’t even raise AK or hardly anything)
KK on the button. UTG limps. HJ raises to 25. LJ/ME/SB/BB/UTG call
Flop 992. HJ bets 25. Only ME/UTG call
Turn K. HJ bets 50. ME/UTG call
River J. UTG leads 100. *(I had put UTG on pocket tens or jacks, so with this lead I assumed he rivered jacks full)
HJ folds. I jam 168 eff with UTG and snap calls… w 99 🤮
Lose $268 ($780 Pot)
- [ ] 3 BET PRE !! Don’t be scared of the nuts! (Results oriented I beat UTG and get the UTG limper to fold his 99)
So the bottom part was my post hand thoughts about what I should’ve done differently. I think being on the button I felt more comfortable playing a smaller pot in position of the super OMC player.

There’s literally people I’ve played with I’ll fold anything but the nuts to because they’re so tight. (Poker is super soft in Reno, Nevada if you ever make your way out here)
Is there a time limit on the BRC?
There is not
On the AQ hand you're beating 99 or 88 on the turn, seems a little merged to bet in position.
19:40 "my T9 is going to pick up equity"
T9 is now the nuts, right?
Sure. It’s the viewers who are insane.
How did you lose the previous winnings?
I didn't
He gave it to me - I bought sour cream and onion chips, and he bet the rest on Magnus Carlsen to win.
Rent in Vancouver is this bad eh? Good luck!
Fuck yes let’s go

sorry i didnt watch all the prev videos but why is your net worth $0 right now?

He's for sure gonna get to 1m before me, I'm playing $2 tournaments, he's playing $300k deep cash games 😂

Dammit. Almost the first like, but im the first comment!! Lets fucking go sam!!!
How does a guy with $0 net worth have a car, long-term investments, money to blow on coffee, and $1500 to risk in a poker game?
Yes, this ☝️
You're forgetting he still has that $400k Hong Kong "play money" he won from the previous vlog.
Your long term investments would give you 7 DAYS if you pulled them out? Damn, you really did go busto lmao
