Grats in 1 year; I lasted 3 episodes of vlogging and gave up lul; congrats!! Love the content and your always all in cuz u like to have a good time duhhhh
Haha thanks Perrie! Ya making videos is extremely time consuming, especially if it's got higher production value. As far as it being worth your time in a monetary way, that's not the case but for a small percentage of youtubers. In the meantime I still enjoy doing it so hopefully the channel can grow. I was all in today again at PLO. Had the ol 5678 one suit...I'll have to leave you hanging as I might detail it in a vlog ;)
CzechRaiseCharles haha okay I like cliff hangers! Keep up the vlog love ur content! Also ome of these days u gonna have to be my real sensai and teach me plo cuz I'm a whale; if u don'tthink u can then we can always just be whales together
I came here because of johnnyvibes...great vlog...its scary how much you look like my younger brother,,,seriously like long lost twins...our grandparents came over from Czechoslovakia years ago...i'm freaking out right now...exact replica
74zion whaaaat!!!! Awesome :) his vlog is amazing. Now as for the replica part....I gotta see this! Can you send me a picture or direct me somewhere that I can see for myself. The thought of finding my doppelgänger is one I can't miss out on. You can message me on instagram as well :) thanks again
They're crazy people, that's who! Haha ya it's definitely not for the feint at heart. Very similar in my opinion to someone that day trades stocks or some other highly volatile market.
At the 3:30 mark, if it limps around to you in the BB, why are you saying we can "open" large or check here with TT? It's only an "open" if it's folded around to you and it's your turn to act FIRST right?

my 2 cents for your AQ hand, if you think on betting then usually half the effective stacksize bet is a jam. so before betting 200+ on 400 effective its a jam. about the bet/jam itself yea usually a jam. ofc a check back to get your usual 2 street of value on the river is fine too, bit less variance there
Ya woswas denni I like just jamming turn to balance with my draws and strong hands. Checking back here on the turn IMO is bad because of how wet the board is.
Congrats on the 1 year mark bro, it's really a great milestone. Little Charlie may not realize it now but years from now you can tell him he made a cameo on the anniversary vlog lol.
Classic example of "winners tilt"? Thank you for the honesty. Are you recording right outside Lucky's? Your analysis of hands and including opponent behaviors are insightful. I really enjoy learning from your content. Please keep them coming.
Thanks for the comment Han! It's really motivating to hear that people enjoy the content. Ya I'd definitely say I came in this last week feeling invincible and tried to do way too much. In this video I was recording down the street at a food strip mall. Unfortunately I tend to do most my analysis in the car since it's hard to get a moment of quiet in our small apartment haha. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Agreed. You should find a better place to record. But you have one of the best handanalysis of all vloggers. With JohnnyVibes (great camerawork/ editing) and Pokerstatistician (boring visually). Understand that it takes time and since you have a son it's diffucult to find those extra hours. Maybe in the future? Anyways, good vlog you put out. And congrats on the 1st anniversary.
Thanks Red Nex! Ya hopefully I can find some other options for where to record. Doing it while I drive back from playing is sort of killing two birds with one stone...it's fresh in my memory to recall the exact events and it's a good way to make use of bumper to bumper slow moving traffic.
Yo Charles congrats!! I’m away on my honey moon in Aruba ; ) I’m going to check out poker games Thursday Fri An Saturday. Your so blessed to have Charlie he’s adorable.... back to your V log it’s great content and think you should try playing really tight atleast until people stop paying you off because the image you built up as being agro n lose. Try switching up game playing right and having people pay you off then when action drys losen up your game again... just recommending changing levels. Cheers Joseph
Thanks for the recommendation Joseph and more importantly congratulations to you!! I hope you're enjoying you're honeymoon, although that probably won't be too difficult in Aruba! 😆 I agree that I am very very lucky in life. A few bad beats can't hold me down lol. I agree though that it's time to tighten the ship and play some ABC poker or at least until people start folding. Best wishes to you and your new bride. Enjoy!
Ya Lucky Chances is hit or miss. Games can be decent but the quality is nowhere near what it used to be. I think that's the case for most poker rooms in America. Poker unfortunately is dying and it needs something to give it a kickstart.
big overbets on flop are almost always draws/ weak hands . AJ KJ is never going to overbet; thats some serious run bad right there. with regards to online play do you ever play on ACR? what do u think of it /withdrawals on it etc?
Ya I mean in this spot it would just never ever make any sense to have a real hand here...hence why I had to figure out a way to get him to spazz off. Mission accomplished lol. Naw I've never played on ACR. I used to play on bodog/bovada way back in the day but that's about it. Never really enjoyed playing online. I really really enjoy the human element of live poker and feel it's where my strong suit lies.
lol thought u there was nothing better than being able to play from the comfort of your own couch; I guess this applies to pokerstars / partypoker and not any website. I have played on bovada too and the anonymous aspect is good. I play more on ACR now with some of their promotions being better but I havent played for long/ much as i play live more (agreed about the human aspect of it and how it can give one a lot of edges) and was wondering about withdrawals with them.
Haha ya I guess I meant more so if the games were good then there's nothing better than being a couch potato 😝 I feel like for the most part online play is significantly tougher than live games, especially when comparing similar stakes. For example 2/5 live is way softer than a 2/4 or 3/6 game online. So what I really want is some big site to come back and bring all the 🐟🐠🐡
Happy Anniversary! Don't worry about the J8 hand. Guy was an idiot to call that and just got lucky. AQ hand, you already realized the jam would be a better bet. Yes, his flop call was not great. You were playing these hands correct, just went up against some lucky fish. One thing to remember is not to assume your opponent is thinking it through the way you would. Why did he call the flop bet? Because he thought he might get lucky on the gutshot and he did. 80% of the time you are taking that. Shrug it off and hope he is at your next table!
Thanks Sean 👍🏼 ya I'm not sweating it. All part of the game :) I definitely agree that one of my biggest weaknesses is assuming that my opponents think or play a certain way. It's hard not to place some basic principals of play on others but it's surely a mistake. You just never know when someone is doing something extremely strange or next level. That's what makes the game so great 😁
I'm thinking of doing that for my next poker trip. Getting a mileage friendly van converting it into an rv type of rear and installing a bed living room combo so I can sleep in it using battery powered Ac system and using my national gym membership to shower and workout in my off time, would save me a bunch of money from resort fees and weekend up charges for hotel stays.
I thought when the guy jammed, he had a set of 6's when you were holding AQ. K10os is a bit of a shocker, but considering he is holding the king of clubs, maybe he would fire on the turn if the club hit knowing it would be hard for you to raise since he had the nut flush blocker and also he would be getting fold equity with the bet. I think Doug Polk would approve of the loose call on the flop.
Haha ya, I thought it was possible he had 6s as well. I've definitely made the call in his spot I just like it a lot better if he's in position and deeper. Ahhhh well :)
"Speech play" worked a treat (in this instance) how you got him to put in his chips with 13% equity after he bet double pot, on the flop. I don't have a clue. Hands like that are hilarious (well for the viewer lol). But being results orientated is this player going to fold an over-pair or like QK/QT here? If he can call you off with Ace high after talking. The talking is intended to change course of action. We probably don't want him to encourage him to "hero fold" or start thinking with an over-pair in a spot like this if that's what we think were up against. (Obviously not a hero fold but he didn't seem capable of folding QQ/KK/AA so don't want to talk him into doing so - would be my logic). You can still represent 98/KQ that is enough to warrant a call for the fish. So shoving is far better as an exploitative play since it prevents scare cards or him thinking "what if he has a better hand?". Overbetting anything on this flop is bizarre since the calling range can just become a jack (it's hard to know what to do when playing against someone without a brain). Obviously you got max value in the long run. Weird hand. A bluff makes more sense since it could fold out better. But then to call off when he was bluffing is mental. Could you do a series of fish reviews... "I thought he was bluffing so I snapped him with my ace high but also had a gutshot to the nut straight. Made the nuts knew it was coming, that's why I called. I am so good at poker!" "I figured if I could try and make a straight it may pay off big. Got there coolered him, easy game. Never overplay AQ limp in with it - AVOID big pots - check the turn haha" (puts in 14% off his stack on flop call to hit 3 jacks) (flop float out of position with two people to act behind). The AQ was obviously standard. With KT unless he has plans on winning the hand through other means than getting there. He is not going to make a profitable call. He is 11/1 to hit the turn & needs to have a plan when he misses. (There isn't the implied odds available if he always wins stacks when he hits - it's still not profitable). I suppose he did have the backdoor flush draw & it's okay if he has a plan. Anyway. Probably not. Like the over-bet probably wants to be a bit bigger not leave money on the table. In-case he calls with K9 suited. If you have a draw you would be committed anyway so probably best shoving with both.. Overbet think it's fine. Just becomes awkward when thinking of balance `& you want to value bet AT/AK. Bet sizing can influence decisions & may need to make thinner calls as a part of overall strategy if strongest hands are not within range. And opponent is good enough to realise this. But probably not this player.
As always you come with the excellent analysis Joshua :) ya both these hands were a bit interesting. I try and leave out the boring standard hands where you flop a set vs an overpair and stack the guy. Sure it's nice to hear I won but if there's no real value in speaking about it then why do it. As for the speech, I just knew given his bet sizing that something goofy was going on and I'd have to do something strange myself in order to get him to get out of line some more...it worked perfectly, sort of lollll
Yeah I strongly agree. Someone needs to tell Neeme that! He flops a set vs an overpair - every hand :) Two annoying results but (in the long run) that's got to be the aim (everytime). Just sometimes doesn't go to plan. That's poker. I am sure you have had your fair share of swings if you are used to playing the great game of PLO. And know that far more than most. It probably shouldn't be but it can be additionally irritating when it's the "last hand". But it is what is & that's irrational, I guess.
Charles, I think KT,KJ,JJ, with the king of clubs is in his calling range, I would bet(small) fold the turn if he jams unless I knew he was capable of bluffing and if he was I think it would be a river bluff, I think your always beat here.
We'll have to agree to disagree :) sort of depends on the opponent, however if we bet small he can incorrectly overvalue hands such as AJ/A6 and the occasional J6 that made a funky loose call preflop from the blinds. I think there are times to make exploitative folds with strong hands but doing so for 50 or so big blinds once raised is going to be a mistake long term in my opinion.
I think your right on the player dependent thing, It would actually be wrong for him to fold KT on the flop(see Ed Miller) he turns the nutz, I love this discussion, what hands do you think he's continuing with? By the way beautiful to see you with your son, raised 5 kids myself. Old but not a nit.
Hey SetMiner, sorry I didn't see your reply. I thinks he's continuing with nearly 100% of his flopped flush draws. Also all his Ax combos. There's some percentage of the time he's also continuing with some strong queens like KQ and QJ. I think his value range on the turn is much wider than just KT so not much we can do here. Wow 5 kids! I can't imagine that haha, one is already a handful :) hope you've been running well!
That's one of the sickest beats I've heard... your speech finally works and you get this guy to punt off his stack with a gutter literally dead to a queen.... such a sick river 😡😡😡
Hahaha derek that's what hurt the most, people not folding ever when I'm giving a speech and bluffing and then finally I have it...they still call and then get there lol. Perhaps the real lesson here is that no one ever folds for any reason 🤣
regarding the talk about getting in tough situations in 100BB poker....I think given the size of the pot going to the flop $75...his effective stack was $455...that's an SPR of about 6......it's close...but Top 2 in that situation is a hand you want to have most the time....I know the rule of thumb is normally for the SPR to be between 7-16 for Top 2 but 6 is pretty dang close....he was getting $130/$55 with a gutter....he shouldn't have called even considering the backdoor flush draw he had....you got unlucky there that's all....happens to the best of us
Ya for sure, if he's in position I think his call is ok given the backdoor nuts. I'm fine with the hand nonetheless :) just sucks when it's the last one you're going to play lol
Thanks Rob! Ya I'd love to be able to go down to San Jose more often but it's just too far of a drive for me with my son being at school. Lucky Chances really isn't that bad and still gets a fair amount of action albeit not as great as it used to be. Good luck man!
CzechRaiseCharles I’ve been playing their since 06 and the number of beats I get their compared to everywhere else is insane. I play at Graton bay 101 matrix Harvey’s and in Vegas. I understand the drive isn’t good but I seem to always do better away from lucky.
What stakes do you play when you're at lucky Chances? Ya I've heard some people complain thinking there's collusion etc but it's just that there's so much action and people hate folding so you're going to see more bad beats as hands that shouldn't be in are arriving at the river. Yesterday this action player ran up 1k to over 5k playing nearly every single hand. Right before he decided to leave he gave away 3500 or so in a matter of 20 mins...so it comes and goes haha
CzechRaiseCharles I think there is some collusion in the tournaments and a lot of soft play in the cash games since a lot of the same players play everyday. I like the 2-3-5 at matrix. I have a kid also so it’s really hard to play a lot so I’m pretty much a weekend warrior now. I’m really enjoying your vlogs.
Ya I can agree there's definitely some soft play that exists. I wouldn't be surprised that there's collusion between some of the regs in the daily tourneys. A lot of people always seem to have a vested interest in one another. There's some soft play between some regs in the cash games but generally it's just a ok we'll check it down sort of thing. I'm not a fan of it but at the same time I don't mind it since it's usually two fun players who can't win anyway :) what's more funny to me is when a reg has this dynamic with one of the action players, if you're not going to play hard against them then why play at all 🤷🏼♂️ appreciate the love Rob!
Ya not much to be done there less than 100 big blinds deep to start the hand. Guess I could have bet much smaller on turn and made a ridiculously exploitative fold to his check raise but that seems insane.
Winners Tilt is some dangerous territory. He does have some combo gutters with that jack on the turn. Simply the J is always better for his range. Exploitative maybe. But could size differently or check turn. Especially if it’s LAST hand. I know ur response to last hand comment. Lol
I've never studied much how a certain hand has historically done for me...although perhaps I should. I remember a long time ago there was this guy I played with who would write into a notepad every single hand he played and how much he won or lost with it in the position which he played it. I asked him oh wow so you find out anything useful? He goes yes of course! I asked him what...he told me I'd have to find out for myself 😔
Hey man, so is that Ethereum address linked to Coinbase? If so you cant accept ERC-20 tokens to that address. You should make yourself a Myetherwallet which takes literally seconds to create and then you can accept ANY Ethereum based ERC-20 token such as OmiseGo, SingularDTV, EOS, SunContracts etc. There are so many cryptos that you can accept by using a private Ethereum wallet. Coinbase doesn't support tokens...
Hey, so yes that address is for a coinbase wallet. You're right I should definitely post one that accepts ERC-20 tokens. I'll have to get around to doing that asap. Thanks!!
Congratulations Matthew Bailey, you've won the $109 token! It should be credited to your account within the next day or two and then you can use it for this Sunday's tournament. Good luck 🍀
CzechRaiseCharles hey thanks! New subscriber to the channel and I love your balance of gto and description of various exploitation at the stakes you play. Keep up the good work I’ll try not to let you down but my tournament play is far from perfect pray for some run good
Man... that's some awful .... "bad beat stories." That sounds like my games. I just dont understand how everybody gets there but me. If I had their hands, I miss. But, Im never in their shoes.
You know what they say, if you're not sucking out too much then you probably aren't getting it in bad often enough 😜 I did realize at one point that it becomes a bit of confirmation bias. If you tend to be tight and try and not get your money in bad then you're way more likely to have the beats put on you rather than vice versa. Just the nature of the game...the math evens out sooner or later. Best of luck at the tables!
Congratulations to the winners of the $109 token! Good luck to Blacsklansky and Incredibleducky in the tournament 👍🏼
Congrats on 1 year! Keep up the great and informative content!
Thanks Nate! Still can't believe how fast the last year has flown by. Can't wait for the next year

Hope things turn around quickly!
Thanks Final Table!
I'm on like a 6k downswing, but have a full time job, I really don't know how people do it full time day in and day out
They're crazy people, that's who! Haha ya it's definitely not for the feint at heart. Very similar in my opinion to someone that day trades stocks or some other highly volatile market.
Charlie ... u give best hand analysis and strategy talk of all the vloggers. And it's mostly pure poker content. #veryinsightful
Thanks Ace Ventura, I can't keep up on the cinematic front so I try to differentiate myself with more live poker specific content. Glad you like it!
At the 3:30 mark, if it limps around to you in the BB, why are you saying we can "open" large or check here with TT? It's only an "open" if it's folded around to you and it's your turn to act FIRST right?
Eh that's splitting hairs Neville, it's a bit of an open ended term. I guess I should have said raise and not open.

Is it harder to hit a boat with two random cards or having a pocket pair? What is the ideal statistics of hitting a boat in each circumstance ?
my 2 cents for your AQ hand, if you think on betting then usually half the effective stacksize bet is a jam. so before betting 200+ on 400 effective its a jam. about the bet/jam itself yea usually a jam.

Congrats on the 1 year mark bro, it's really a great milestone. Little Charlie may not realize it now but years from now you can tell him he made a cameo on the anniversary vlog lol.

Congrats on your 1st birthday! Hope this downswing can find the reverse gear real soon. Best of luck, and cheers to the year ahead!
Thanks man! Wishing you the same run good. I'll be watching 😃
Yo Charles congrats!! I’m away on my honey moon in Aruba ; ) I’m going to check out poker games Thursday Fri An Saturday. Your so blessed to have Charlie he’s adorable.... back to your V log it’s great content and think you should try playing really tight atleast until people stop paying you off because the image you built up as being agro n lose.

I agree though that it's time to tighten the ship and play some ABC poker or at least until people start folding. Best wishes to you and your new bride. Enjoy!
Keeping it real. Visited LC last year and the place kinda went downhill. Somewhat of a dump. But, apparently they still have decent games.
Ya Lucky Chances is hit or miss. Games can be decent but the quality is nowhere near what it used to be. I think that's the case for most poker rooms in America. Poker unfortunately is dying and it needs something to give it a kickstart.

That's what makes the game so great 😁
are you living out of your minivan?
Uhhh what? I guess you skipped the first minute on the couch
I'm thinking of doing that for my next poker trip. Getting a mileage friendly van converting it into an rv type of rear and installing a bed living room combo so I can sleep in it using battery powered Ac system and using my national gym membership to shower and workout in my off time, would save me a bunch of money from resort fees and weekend up charges for hotel stays.
dru713281 I think that's a great way to travel, definitely cuts down on all the costs!
wait are you "CzechRaise" on party poker? if so thats nuts.. i have thousands of hands on you and have even gotten into some levelling wars in MTTs.
Hahhaa John Doe unfortunately that's not me! Not allowed to play on party poker where I live. Sounds like you have a lot of history with this guys lol
I thought when the guy jammed, he had a set of 6's when you were holding AQ. K10os is a bit of a shocker, but considering he is holding the king of clubs, maybe he would fire on the turn if the club hit knowing it would be hard for you to raise since he had the nut flush blocker and also he would be getting fold equity with the bet.

Could you do a series of fish reviews...
"I thought he was bluffing so I snapped him with my ace high but also had a gutshot to the nut straight. Made the nuts knew it was coming, that's why I called. I am so good at poker!"
"I figured if I could try and make a straight it may pay off big. Got there coolered him, easy game. Never overplay AQ limp in with it - AVOID big pots - check the turn haha" (puts in 14% off his stack on flop call to hit 3 jacks) (flop float out of position with two people to act behind).
The AQ was obviously standard. With KT unless he has plans on winning the hand through other means than getting there. He is not going to make a profitable call. He is 11/1 to hit the turn & needs to have a plan when he misses. (There isn't the implied odds available if he always wins stacks when he hits - it's still not profitable). I suppose he did have the backdoor flush draw & it's okay if he has a plan. Anyway. Probably not.
Like the over-bet probably wants to be a bit bigger not leave money on the table. In-case he calls with K9 suited. If you have a draw you would be committed anyway so probably best shoving with both..
Overbet think it's fine. Just becomes awkward when thinking of balance `& you want to value bet AT/AK. Bet sizing can influence decisions & may need to make thinner calls as a part of overall strategy if strongest hands are not within range. And opponent is good enough to realise this. But probably not this player.
As always you come with the excellent analysis Joshua :) ya both these hands were a bit interesting. I try and leave out the boring standard hands where you flop a set vs an overpair and stack the guy. Sure it's nice to hear I won but if there's no real value in speaking about it then why do it. As for the speech, I just knew given his bet sizing that something goofy was going on and I'd have to do something strange myself in order to get him to get out of line some more...it worked perfectly, sort of lollll
Yeah I strongly agree. Someone needs to tell Neeme that! He flops a set vs an overpair - every hand :)
Two annoying results but (in the long run) that's got to be the aim (everytime). Just sometimes doesn't go to plan. That's poker.
I am sure you have had your fair share of swings if you are used to playing the great game of PLO. And know that far more than most.
It probably shouldn't be but it can be additionally irritating when it's the "last hand". But it is what is & that's irrational, I guess.
1) J8 shouldn't be your favorite hand, pocket aces should. 2) tuff spot in the other hand
Hahaha Justin Aces are definitely my favorite hand, but I mean who doesn't love them :)
Hay enjoy your vlogs, think u may be way over thinking some of your hands, just a thought 😊
Haha ya I have definitely been guilty of that in the past Mark! It's my favorite part though 🤣
Charles, I think KT,KJ,JJ, with the king of clubs is in his calling range, I would bet(small) fold the turn if he jams unless I knew he was capable of bluffing and if he was I think it would be a river bluff, I think your always beat here.
We'll have to agree to disagree :) sort of depends on the opponent, however if we bet small he can incorrectly overvalue hands such as AJ/A6 and the occasional J6 that made a funky loose call preflop from the blinds. I think there are times to make exploitative folds with strong hands but doing so for 50 or so big blinds once raised is going to be a mistake long term in my opinion.
I think your right on the player dependent thing, It would actually be wrong for him to fold KT on the flop(see Ed Miller) he turns the nutz, I love this discussion, what hands do you think he's continuing with? By the way beautiful to see you with your son, raised 5 kids myself. Old but not a nit.
Hey SetMiner, sorry I didn't see your reply. I thinks he's continuing with nearly 100% of his flopped flush draws. Also all his Ax combos. There's some percentage of the time he's also continuing with some strong queens like KQ and QJ. I think his value range on the turn is much wider than just KT so not much we can do here. Wow 5 kids! I can't imagine that haha, one is already a handful :) hope you've been running well!
That's one of the sickest beats I've heard... your speech finally works and you get this guy to punt off his stack with a gutter literally dead to a queen.... such a sick river 😡😡😡
Hahaha derek that's what hurt the most, people not folding ever when I'm giving a speech and bluffing and then finally I have it...they still call and then get there lol. Perhaps the real lesson here is that no one ever folds for any reason 🤣
CzechRaiseCharles although he sucked out we want that type of player in the game bc we'll get em' in the long run!💰💰💰 #getthemoneyingood
regarding the talk about getting in tough situations in 100BB poker....I think given the size of the pot going to the flop $75...his effective stack was $455...that's an SPR of about 6......it's close...but Top 2 in that situation is a hand you want to have most the time....I know the rule of thumb is normally for the SPR to be between 7-16 for Top 2 but 6 is pretty dang close....he was getting $130/$55 with a gutter....he shouldn't have called even considering the backdoor flush draw he had....you got unlucky there that's all....happens to the best of us
Ya for sure, if he's in position I think his call is ok given the backdoor nuts. I'm fine with the hand nonetheless :) just sucks when it's the last one you're going to play lol
Lucky chances is the nut low. I like your blogs but San Jose has better action.
Thanks Rob! Ya I'd love to be able to go down to San Jose more often but it's just too far of a drive for me with my son being at school. Lucky Chances really isn't that bad and still gets a fair amount of action albeit not as great as it used to be. Good luck man!
CzechRaiseCharles I’ve been playing their since 06 and the number of beats I get their compared to everywhere else is insane. I play at Graton bay 101 matrix Harvey’s and in Vegas. I understand the drive isn’t good but I seem to always do better away from lucky.
What stakes do you play when you're at lucky Chances? Ya I've heard some people complain thinking there's collusion etc but it's just that there's so much action and people hate folding so you're going to see more bad beats as hands that shouldn't be in are arriving at the river. Yesterday this action player ran up 1k to over 5k playing nearly every single hand. Right before he decided to leave he gave away 3500 or so in a matter of 20 mins...so it comes and goes haha
CzechRaiseCharles I think there is some collusion in the tournaments and a lot of soft play in the cash games since a lot of the same players play everyday. I like the 2-3-5 at matrix. I have a kid also so it’s really hard to play a lot so I’m pretty much a weekend warrior now. I’m really enjoying your vlogs.
Ya I can agree there's definitely some soft play that exists. I wouldn't be surprised that there's collusion between some of the regs in the daily tourneys. A lot of people always seem to have a vested interest in one another. There's some soft play between some regs in the cash games but generally it's just a ok we'll check it down sort of thing. I'm not a fan of it but at the same time I don't mind it since it's usually two fun players who can't win anyway :) what's more funny to me is when a reg has this dynamic with one of the action players, if you're not going to play hard against them then why play at all 🤷🏼♂️ appreciate the love Rob!
Good job dude. Go tell brad owens he’s a nit.
Haha thanks Steve, I'll be sure to do so!
only thing i like about chances is the 20k at the end of every month. Cash is shit there. Try oaks, 101 or m8trix...
Talk about run bad.
Hahahaha I think that's exactly what I did Maxwell 😜 I'll try and keep the whining to a minimum next time
Im All in on that AQ, too though
... Also nice watch.
Ya not much to be done there less than 100 big blinds deep to start the hand. Guess I could have bet much smaller on turn and made a ridiculously exploitative fold to his check raise but that seems insane.
Yea, chalk it up to variance.... Hit up Neeme and find out where he gets his vlog run good.
Winners Tilt is some dangerous territory.
He does have some combo gutters with that jack on the turn. Simply the J is always better for his range. Exploitative maybe. But could size differently or check turn. Especially if it’s LAST hand. I know ur response to last hand comment. Lol
Pre-Bluey lol
AQ has lost me so much money I actually cheer of I ever win with it
I've never studied much how a certain hand has historically done for me...although perhaps I should. I remember a long time ago there was this guy I played with who would write into a notepad every single hand he played and how much he won or lost with it in the position which he played it. I asked him oh wow so you find out anything useful? He goes yes of course! I asked him what...he told me I'd have to find out for myself 😔
Hey man, so is that Ethereum address linked to Coinbase? If so you cant accept ERC-20 tokens to that address. You should make yourself a Myetherwallet which takes literally seconds to create and then you can accept ANY Ethereum based ERC-20 token such as OmiseGo, SingularDTV, EOS, SunContracts etc. There are so many cryptos that you can accept by using a private Ethereum wallet. Coinbase doesn't support tokens...
Hey, so yes that address is for a coinbase wallet. You're right I should definitely post one that accepts ERC-20 tokens. I'll have to get around to doing that asap. Thanks!!

Congratulations Matthew Bailey, you've won the $109 token! It should be credited to your account within the next day or two and then you can use it for this Sunday's tournament. Good luck 🍀
CzechRaiseCharles hey thanks! New subscriber to the channel and I love your balance of gto and description of various exploitation at the stakes you play. Keep up the good work I’ll try not to let you down but my tournament play is far from perfect pray for some run good
Hahaha that's all you need to bink a tourney! Sending any run good I have left in the tank your way Matthew. Thanks for subbing to the channel :)
Man... that's some awful .... "bad beat stories." That sounds like my games. I just dont understand how everybody gets there but me. If I had their hands, I miss. But, Im never in their shoes.
You know what they say, if you're not sucking out too much then you probably aren't getting it in bad often enough 😜 I did realize at one point that it becomes a bit of confirmation bias. If you tend to be tight and try and not get your money in bad then you're way more likely to have the beats put on you rather than vice versa. Just the nature of the game...the math evens out sooner or later. Best of luck at the tables!
Just all kinds of run bad.
All KINDS!! As Jaman Burton would say haha
