I totally agree. I made this mistake years and years even though i was a good player back then.. But nowadays, i think its probably the most important thing in poker.
It’s the most underrate skill, requires 3rd grade math but the discipline of a Shaolin monk. Even if you’re a slight winner with proper BRM you’ll never die.

Ethan built a fantastic following. Crushing 2/5 games, making the upward trajectory along with Mariano. A legend in MA. Rampage was born. Going on trips to Las Vegas sent his followers into a tizzy. His merchandise exploded. Hitting the live streams was epic. We couldn’t wait to see the previous nights results and vlogs. But now, Rampage has become a gambler, and a very bad one at that. While Mariano has been steady, analyzing his play, reading his opponent’s tells, Ethan is getting sloppy. His bullish style doesn’t quite fit with the cards he holds. I wish he’d take a step or two back and put out some quality poker content that we used to relate to. Taking an ‘L’ isn’t a bad thing if your play is on point.
Yes, I think his bullish style serves him better in tournaments. People in cash games seem tougher to bluff. Especially in these big games against players who are wealthy and can afford to call off with mediocre holdings.
The fact that high tier players still chose to play at the Hustler after the J4 cheating is amazing to me. If you go there and lose money that’s on you.
@@Hedonism96Except when RJL gave Garrett back the pot she cheated him out of. Maybe that's the point you're making, that she would never have returned it had she not been cheating.
There is no proof of cheating yet and I have a theory why she might played that way. Even if she looked at her cards multiple times she might had brain fog and had J3 in her mind (what she had on the previous hand). When she made the call she didn't want to look ridiculous and told nobody. The only think I don't understand is why she gave the money back. If I knew I didn't cheat I would have never give the money.
Yes people will root for you on the way up, but hate you when you actually get there. Alex Hormozi talks about this when he was building his gym business.

Even 10 -15% is very aggressive, I would say 5% is already aggro but acceptable. The only time 10-15% is good is only if there is no games at lower stakes and higher than your current stakes, and if it is a super soft table. HCL seems to have games at stakes just lower with 40k buyin so playing that would make more sense to play for Rampage if indeed 500k is alot to him.

In the first hand when Rampage rivers broadway and the 3rd flush card appears on the river, I disagree with you Alex, there is no reason to raise for value when there are a ton of flush draws in Brandon’s range, and the pot is big enough at that point.
what is AJo getting value from? a lower straight? it's gonna be a tough call from a lower straight with that bet-sizing and he's got quite some flushes in his range. what other hands is he getting value from? sets and lower ain't calling that at any moderate frequency. this play makes no sense to me.

@AlexDuvall It’s yours channel. yes you can have both, however lately it like more news than poker vlog. I love your poker vlog and I just want to see more of your poker journey daily grinds.
Sometimes you gotta hang it up early. Have a hard limit number you can lose and if you reach it just leave. No matter what you do, some nights are just not your night
Yea i dont get people like this tbh. Why would you take a skill like poker where the objective is money, and CHOOSE to play the highest level of competition? Its just silly. Its like chapter 1 of every poker book: Choose games wisely.
That AJ hand was a total punt, Brandons river sizing was too big to raise, something tourney players never understand. Rampage is too stuck in his tourney grind mindset, a great cash game player would call river based on sizing, but they also barrel turn
Rampage: You don't look well. Something is wrong. I don't want to spread rumors or speculate. But I sense something is Wrong. I hope you get it back in order Rampage.
@@happybear3110 yeah but that s a multi millionaire if I m not mistaken, he afford to gamble like that. Rampage put himself in that position, I mean it had no sense to go all in pre 150k with qts
Rampage used to sun run. I knew it can’t last forever although it seemed like it could. He used to be the guy with AK on JT8Q vs 9x. He’s a good player but probably with a gambling addiction problem. Needs to play higher and higher. You can see how much stress he’s in now. He needs to take a break. I don’t think he can go broke, there’s too many people who can stake him 😅
He just stopped playing like a jackzz .That happens when you lose most of your money(speculating obviously)He can't have endless means and doesn't investment bank anymore so...there is a bottom...Tightening up may be an indication of it coming as he doesn't enjoy it as much.Enjoys more the calling station clown thing more I think.
@@garret6596 yes tight play wins if you also only play premium hands... you just wont win alot per session... i know a few retired guys who play like this in a casino poker room and i see them winning majority of the time
Agreed. It’s a difference between *making $$ & having $$.* He had $$ to blow, it’s gone.. now his whole demeanor has changed. I Knew I wasn’t the only person who noticed
There was nothing wrong with his QTs jam as they were super short stacked. That said, don't play with money you cannot afford to lose. Pretty good call with A7o but I think you probably gotta click call there that short.
160k is super short stacked? He was rebuying after being felted for 200k... what world is preflop raising to 160k normal? Even at these stakes that ridiculous to try and steal the straddle.
14:15 He ran bad more than played bad? He raised $100K with a straight despite a flush being on the board. Then bet $160K into an $11K pot pre-flop with QTs. Bad play.
why does he need to take a break from losing basically 5 buy-ins? and he was partially staked... so it shouldn't even bother him. he should be back on the tables the next day.
Rampage is a terrible poker player, he is just a luckbox, he doesnt understand the economics of playing with people who have alot more money than he will ever see, these guys arent good either but have so much money they dont give ashit, he will be bust if he isnt already, he has a lot to learn, especially in the cash streets
He had a losing tournament year, even though he won a few tourneys, he gad a massive losing year on cash games, he is way to lose, a joke , very poor overplays, he will go busto if he doesnt learn and develop, being brave and aggressive just gets you broke@@AlexDuvall
@AlexDuvall so what when you're gambling it all away. A mm who is doing financially well doesn't post what he posted before playing this game. And his persona was different than what its been in the past when losing big. He seemed calm and accepting "fate" instead of angry like he has been. It's almost like he is finally facing reality that he needs help.
Aj shove is a polar mistake. You win a lot when calling and practically lose most of the calls. I don't think a j is calling - we can talk all day long about how having the jd is the worst blocker in the world, but it doesn't really matter - most flush call, most non-flush fold - unless you are nik airball, you can't really get value out of this - very easy call and just a punt for 0 reason. I think all in is much worse than fold, which is pretty insane
1:30 Can you please explain what you meaning by Rampage blocking hands that Brandon would have with examples where one of his cards is K. Then Brandon would have top pair, or am i missing something? Just trying to learn that's why i'm asking.
Chasing high stakes poker is usually a sign that you have a gambling problem, and you are not there to earn money, but to feel the rush of winning big. Exception being if you’re already loaded, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Bad Variance Rampage is a legend Regardless. Master Punter! Bad plays here but also getting caught bluffing when the Villains have a bunch of reasonable made hands to call when he goes nuts. GG!
The problem with him is he went on to tv so much and started bluffing majority of the hands. Therefore his opponent will catch on and take him for a ride
Are you serious? Rampage has made some of the highest level plays I've ever seen. Just because he gets lucky sometimes doesn't mean he's a bad player. I'd take him against just about any lineup.
3:00 Brandons is asking why Rampage would chech with a flush draw? (assume that Rampage actually had flush draw), why would it be bad to check? Or does Brandon mean flush draw in form of 2 diamonds on the board, and not that Rampage had 2 diamonds? appreciate if someone eant to answer, trying to learn more...
If this dude does end up going broke I don’t feel bad for him. Guy runs great makes a few millions instead of investing it and living off cash flow he decides to gamble it playing high stakes which is way out of his league. Making smart decisions w that kind of money will either make or break you. Having no financial plan in sight will have you right back where you started.
I SAID IT MONTHS AGO ABSOLUTE PUNTER PLAYED BINGO AND GOT LUCKY WINNING WITH HIS BINGO BUT THE PUNTING CAUGHT UP WHICH I KNEW WOULD HAPPEN ALWAYS BLUFFING AND NEVER FOLDING MAKING BAD CALLS
3:55 many question haha... you say if brandon have an J they would chop, or Rampage would think so, but Rampage would have the stronger hand then with a better straight if im not mistaken. Or do you mean that Brandon thought this when he raised?
You don't see a problem jamming the river?! lol, what hands that don't beat you will call..... the jam was absolutely stupid and reckless, anything you beat folds and the front door flush got there.... Thats a horrible take on a stupid play....
Are you kidding me Nik. You are an absolute dream to have on the table. No longer wearing LV, but now back to a "Fruit of a Loom" T shirt. Rampage will rebound but, you , Nik, I'm sorry to be bashing you, your just a "Donk" I have never seen anyone play poker as bad as you. I'd like to send you Doyle's book, or Phil Hellmuth's book. Let me know where to send it. Shipping on me.
Rampage got very, very lucky that the start of his career to begin with. And he just kept playing with the same concepts, which are based on staying lucky. Gus Hansen and Tom Dwan, to an extent, run on similar concepts.
Mariano is the worst player I’ve ever seen. Dude was all over TH-cam daily saying he’s one of the best players but now you never hear a word about him.
From close to the beginning I saw this coming. The sad part is, it can get even WAY WORSE. When I saw you were making a video on it, I was halfway expecting(hoping) you to talk about his gambling addiction itself, but I guess those caught up in this for a living dont want to really talk about that. He needs help big time...and i dont mean a GD poker coach. We are past that.😢
This is a mistake that I see high-profile poker pros committing time after time. You HAVE to hedge at least a good portion of those once-in-a-lifetime profits into something else once you hit those amazing windfalls, or else you risk relegating yourself into poverty again. It's the cruel reality about gambling, and it's why you see a lot of high-profile streamers with very comprehensive investment strategies these days (ie, Amouranth buying gas stations).
Who didn't see this coming the downfall of Rampage? And Mariano will follow suit quickly. That's no rocket science either. So predictable with their ego's, playing styles, stakes they play in and game selection. RIP bankroll.
Even GOAT like Tom Dwan went broke playing higher stakes than they could afford in long run. Rampage should have slowed down. He looks like someone who lost his monthly mortgage payment so its obvious this is way too much for him.
A gambler is always a gambler, enough will never be enough. Sorry for ethan but hope he will learn & come back as will follow and see what how he approaches this next stage of his life.
I wanna put this out here for anyone making judgements about the dude. Variance works like this. The best poker players in the world will have sessions like this and it is part of being a pro. The only problem here is bankroll management
Hard to relate to poker vloggers when there playing biggest games they can find. Players like brad and andrew are relatable. I dont watch ramp anymore tbh
Rampage runs illegally raked cash games on club GG(Splashsquad) along with Mariano and Johnie Vibes.Unfortunately it is common for vloggers to fleece there audience in these unregulated/unsucure rake traps. Surprised the DOJ hasn’t stepped in to address this activity. Sad that the poker community dosnt call out these shady practices.

@@happybear3110 yeah but that s a multi millionaire if I m not mistaken, he afford to gamble like that. Rampage put himself in that position, I mean it had no sense to go all in pre 150k with qts
Rampage used to sun run. I knew it can’t last forever although it seemed like it could. He used to be the guy with AK on JT8Q vs 9x. He’s a good player but probably with a gambling addiction problem. Needs to play higher and higher. You can see how much stress he’s in now. He needs to take a break. I don’t think he can go broke, there’s too many people who can stake him 😅
It's more interesting to discuss changes in Nick vpip18 Airball. He has started playing tight. And he started winning.
He just stopped playing like a jackzz .That happens when you lose most of your money(speculating obviously)He can't have endless means and doesn't investment bank anymore so...there is a bottom...Tightening up may be an indication of it coming as he doesn't enjoy it as much.Enjoys more the calling station clown thing more I think.
and you think. tight playing can win in poker ?
@@garret6596 yes tight play wins if you also only play premium hands... you just wont win alot per session... i know a few retired guys who play like this in a casino poker room and i see them winning majority of the time
@@garret6596 it's not tight..it's 1 cent 2 cent God awful stupidity.....there is a difference.
Agreed. It’s a difference between *making $$ & having $$.* He had $$ to blow, it’s gone.. now his whole demeanor has changed. I Knew I wasn’t the only person who noticed
There was nothing wrong with his QTs jam as they were super short stacked. That said, don't play with money you cannot afford to lose. Pretty good call with A7o but I think you probably gotta click call there that short.
160k is super short stacked? He was rebuying after being felted for 200k... what world is preflop raising to 160k normal? Even at these stakes that ridiculous to try and steal the straddle.
14:15 He ran bad more than played bad? He raised $100K with a straight despite a flush being on the board. Then bet $160K into an $11K pot pre-flop with QTs. Bad play.
why does he need to take a break from losing basically 5 buy-ins?
and he was partially staked... so it shouldn't even bother him.
he should be back on the tables the next day.
lol, he's just lost all his money, all of it...
@@dantrav1927 you telling me he was playing a poker session with his entire bankroll? that's nuts
Great play calling a 3 bet pre with 4 high, a winning strategy obv.
Rampage is a terrible poker player, he is just a luckbox, he doesnt understand the economics of playing with people who have alot more money than he will ever see, these guys arent good either but have so much money they dont give ashit, he will be bust if he isnt already, he has a lot to learn, especially in the cash streets
Do you consider yourself a better player than him?
He has turned a 'luckbox' persona into huge profits
He had a losing tournament year, even though he won a few tourneys, he gad a massive losing year on cash games, he is way to lose, a joke , very poor overplays, he will go busto if he doesnt learn and develop, being brave and aggressive just gets you broke@@AlexDuvall
@AlexDuvall so what when you're gambling it all away. A mm who is doing financially well doesn't post what he posted before playing this game. And his persona was different than what its been in the past when losing big. He seemed calm and accepting "fate" instead of angry like he has been. It's almost like he is finally facing reality that he needs help.
@@tombeh or he has more money than you think and it’s not actually as bad as it seems
LMFAOOOO "SHAME ...SHAMEE...SHAMEE"
14:11 Rampage fighting back tears 😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do they make a live games lower than 1/3? I'd like to meet Rampage at my stakes.
In the US? 1/2 lol
Go to the WSOP in Cherokee NC coming up in August..... I saw Rampage there 2 years ago
6:18 Was that a Key and Peele reference my guy?
Rampage playing free money tournament poker like always
Aj shove is a polar mistake. You win a lot when calling and practically lose most of the calls. I don't think a j is calling - we can talk all day long about how having the jd is the worst blocker in the world, but it doesn't really matter - most flush call, most non-flush fold - unless you are nik airball, you can't really get value out of this - very easy call and just a punt for 0 reason. I think all in is much worse than fold, which is pretty insane
Remember most if not all of these guys r no better than ur average 2-5 player. They all got their money other ways not poker
Yep
Some got the money running shady underground online poker groups
Xuan Lee was basically e-begging in her last video, crying about losing. The simps in her comment sections, would gladly give her money.
1:30 Can you please explain what you meaning by Rampage blocking hands that Brandon would have with examples where one of his cards is K. Then Brandon would have top pair, or am i missing something? Just trying to learn that's why i'm asking.
Chasing high stakes poker is usually a sign that you have a gambling problem, and you are not there to earn money, but to feel the rush of winning big. Exception being if you’re already loaded, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Bad Variance Rampage is a legend Regardless. Master Punter! Bad plays here but also getting caught bluffing when the Villains have a bunch of reasonable made hands to call when he goes nuts. GG!
The problem with him is he went on to tv so much and started bluffing majority of the hands. Therefore his opponent will catch on and take him for a ride
Finally he’s luck is running out. Literally the biggest lockbox I’ve ever seen in poker.
Mariano will be following him soon that guy just gets lucky and luck run out eventually
Pepe is the luckbox 1, Mariano 2, Rampage 3.
Yes, and even a $1-3 will be a tough game for this guy.
Are you serious? Rampage has made some of the highest level plays I've ever seen. Just because he gets lucky sometimes doesn't mean he's a bad player. I'd take him against just about any lineup.
@@jeremywinkler 🤣🤣🤣
whats an average pot size in 1/3 games?
The truth is that 95% of Gambles go broke. It does not matter how good you are.
:(
-500k is like losing a house in san diego
No, that's losing a condo and not a house. I live in San Diego 5 miles from downtown and it's expensive in the ghetto. Lol
@life-pm5xl I live in San diego too...
@@life-pm5xl😂😂😂
that Ace 7 was kinda crazy i woulda thought i got cheated ..ace and 7 on both boards 🤔
Rampage is a text book example of gambler first, poker player second. His ratio is way off.
Why do I hear the "Comic book guy" from the Simpsons narrating this.
3:00 Brandons is asking why Rampage would chech with a flush draw? (assume that Rampage actually had flush draw), why would it be bad to check? Or does Brandon mean flush draw in form of 2 diamonds on the board, and not that Rampage had 2 diamonds? appreciate if someone eant to answer, trying to learn more...
Airball's bank account must be hurting, lol.
Can’t play like that forever… This isn’t an app..
If this dude does end up going broke I don’t feel bad for him. Guy runs great makes a few millions instead of investing it and living off cash flow he decides to gamble it playing high stakes which is way out of his league. Making smart decisions w that kind of money will either make or break you. Having no financial plan in sight will have you right back where you started.
I SAID IT MONTHS AGO ABSOLUTE PUNTER PLAYED BINGO AND GOT LUCKY WINNING WITH HIS BINGO BUT THE PUNTING CAUGHT UP WHICH I KNEW WOULD HAPPEN ALWAYS BLUFFING AND NEVER FOLDING MAKING BAD CALLS
3:55 many question haha... you say if brandon have an J they would chop, or Rampage would think so, but Rampage would have the stronger hand then with a better straight if im not mistaken. Or do you mean that Brandon thought this when he raised?
Rampage is a good player but need to work on his aggression
Aggression = GTO
Raymond disrespect Rampage by touching his cards and flipping it over, i would of been pissed
The light leaving his eyes on the A7 hand 😂😂😂
Don’t end up like Nick The Greek who had $50,000,000 and is broke. F that. That’s worse than never having any thing.
Rampage found out what happens when the stakes you play at make money mean nothing, until you lose it all.
You don't see a problem jamming the river?! lol, what hands that don't beat you will call..... the jam was absolutely stupid and reckless, anything you beat folds and the front door flush got there.... Thats a horrible take on a stupid play....
Rampage is kind of Tom Dwan nowadays!! I like him!!
👊👊👊
most of his buy ins are from backers
I guess the last $500k was his own from the video....ouch!
Don't like how Rampage always calls himself your boy. Too homosexual for my liking.
Jamming a straight with a flush on the board is insane.
Lmao don’t matter how good ur are… and ppl think it’s cool being like broke or rich…”it’s not”
Half my family is Vietnamese so we know about the gamble time. Rampage will come back to high stakes he just needs to get the money again .
Just like a drunk, you'll find them at a liquor store or the bar.
Why he is Vietnamese descents
I think Chinese
Rampunt 👟🏈 strikes again.
The only way you win at poker is playing lowest stakes possible
Never ever gamble what you cannot afford to lose even if you play good poker.
Don’t ever back anyone….don’t ever Stake anyone. People who gave Rampage money are fools.
Are you kidding me Nik. You are an absolute dream to have on the table. No longer wearing LV, but now back to a "Fruit of a Loom" T shirt. Rampage will rebound but, you , Nik, I'm sorry to be bashing you, your just a "Donk" I have never seen anyone play poker as bad as you. I'd like to send you Doyle's book, or Phil Hellmuth's book. Let me know where to send it. Shipping on me.
Lol he’s trying to play better by playing tighter but yeah still making big mistakes
Doesn’t matter, dude has infinite money.
seems lke rampage speech play got him into a lot of trouble
VIdeo is taken down?
Which one? No?
Plays now dude, just buggy TH-cam I think,
Rampage got very, very lucky that the start of his career to begin with. And he just kept playing with the same concepts, which are based on staying lucky. Gus Hansen and Tom Dwan, to an extent, run on similar concepts.
If being broke is chilling in Vegas buying into 25ks is broke then I’m tryna be broke like him
I really respect Nik for folding. I think he knew his buddy Rampage is stuck a house so decided not to absolutely annihilate him.
Mariano is the worst player I’ve ever seen. Dude was all over TH-cam daily saying he’s one of the best players but now you never hear a word about him.
he is pretty good you don't think so?
mariano is objectively the best of the poker vloggers by a large margin.
Might be an idea to put a correct title bar.
That A7 call those is ridiculous!!!!
Standard actually
From close to the beginning I saw this coming. The sad part is, it can get even WAY WORSE. When I saw you were making a video on it, I was halfway expecting(hoping) you to talk about his gambling addiction itself, but I guess those caught up in this for a living dont want to really talk about that. He needs help big time...and i dont mean a GD poker coach. We are past that.😢
I think he’ll be fine
im thinking rampage and airball were colluding
Yep. And it was as obvious as anything there in that spot when he lays down the straight.
Highly unlikely
Nah Airball has just totally changed his play style for the sake of fans liking him. It is not working. I will release video on this soon.
This is a mistake that I see high-profile poker pros committing time after time. You HAVE to hedge at least a good portion of those once-in-a-lifetime profits into something else once you hit those amazing windfalls, or else you risk relegating yourself into poverty again. It's the cruel reality about gambling, and it's why you see a lot of high-profile streamers with very comprehensive investment strategies these days (ie, Amouranth buying gas stations).
I’m sure he has behind the scenes
@@AlexDuvall I would hope so because guys like Brad Booth and JC Tran didn't.
That is why you only play with a small % of you BR.
This is 🔑
Pepe has been off his game lately too. Raymond has been busting him up.
Who didn't see this coming the downfall of Rampage?
And Mariano will follow suit quickly.
That's no rocket science either.
So predictable with their ego's, playing styles, stakes they play in and game selection.
RIP bankroll.
Even GOAT like Tom Dwan went broke playing higher stakes than they could afford in long run. Rampage should have slowed down. He looks like someone who lost his monthly mortgage payment so its obvious this is way too much for him.
A gambler is always a gambler, enough will never be enough. Sorry for ethan but hope he will learn & come back as will follow and see what how he approaches this next stage of his life.
He just bought in the Bally's steam for $100k and won a descent amount a few days ago. He's not back at $1$/3
Guess I will be seeing Rampage at Hawaiian Gardens.
Do not feel bad Rampage. Everyone else will be broke before the end of the year as well. :)
As I was saying all the time Ethan was extremely lucky with 0 skills. It came to a stop. I predicted this long ago when he was playing 1-3
You do know he's not broke, right?
"Luckbox" was an understatement...............It was only a matter of time.
I wanna put this out here for anyone making judgements about the dude. Variance works like this. The best poker players in the world will have sessions like this and it is part of being a pro. The only problem here is bankroll management
Hard to relate to poker vloggers when there playing biggest games they can find. Players like brad and andrew are relatable. I dont watch ramp anymore tbh
Yea once it becomes monopoly money its truly not that entertaining to regular size bankrolled players
What happened to Rampage. He plays like he got millions to just throw away, I'm a long time follower 😮
Rampage runs illegally raked cash games on club GG(Splashsquad) along with Mariano and Johnie Vibes.Unfortunately it is common for vloggers to fleece there audience in these unregulated/unsucure rake traps. Surprised the DOJ hasn’t stepped in to address this activity. Sad that the poker community dosnt call out these shady practices.
i win 1000 a week in micros in his club have for a year ur a joke buddy i love splash squad
