The AQ hand merits a call on the river. Betting 1/3rd pot on the turn with a very strong hand is not a thing. It’s a sign of weakness inducing a raise from your opponent’s Ax hands. On the turn, I would probably check back thinking I couldn’t get 3 streets with such a strong hand and go for value on the river. If I was going to bet the turn, I’d go 2/3rds pot around $110-120. If I got raised making a large turn bet, then I might fold. But, as the hand was played, it’s a must call on the river. Sure sometimes you’re going to be beat, but it’s too strong to fold.
I finally subbed to CLP (thanks Ben). I have a lot of respect for Bart and I also love Charlie’s Third Man Walking podcast. My results have improved recently and ILM hoping to become a more solid and consistent player.
me too did not like him posting the same two weeks in a row!!! I read the first on early on monday and waited a whole week for the same video BEN YOU MUST HAVE PLAYED MORE POKER DURING THAT WEEK AND COULD HAVE RE-POSTED THAT ONE AND A NEW ONE .....I DO NO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DID NOT GO THAT ROUTE.
Ah fuck, really Mike Nelson no longer at The Peppermill, met him in 2015 at Run It Up Reno, I'm a huge fan of the poker room there & I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
Don't listen to comment pros. You play with a bunch of nit regs and OMC's. I always appreciated how you obliquely reference this fact without being rude or angry but as the commenter in your video said you know your player base. I think he had 77 fwiw
Hopefully, Mike will have found himself a new job / profession by the time of this video's release, unless he decided to retire and just kept quiet about it. That he had such an impact on your career, and then for him to be out like the snap of a finger must not be easy, but it sounds like the Poker Room @ Peppermill will be in good hands going forward.
@DeadMoneyDragon. He has that serious way of speaking as all news characters have, he's funny, but he is also the complete opposite of me, he's a liberal, drives a Tesla, hates smoke, which is fine, but he lets you know it, lol, would probably get drunk on one drink, I probably could ad a few more things, but it would be purely speculation, but I find him interesting and entertaining, unfortunately, he's probably not going to want to hangout with me and my friends after the sun goes down 🌞
Laying down that AQ. Yikes. I think your small turn bet could easily have induced the raise from AT/ AJ. Would love to know what Mr personality had there but I think you’re winning often enough to make that call.
Keep up the great vlogs Ben. That guy sounds like a small (jealous) man…the only reason for someone saying something like that. Just like in poker, when in life you need to say you’re strong, you’re actually weak!
Hi Ben. Another win, awesome. That guy that hates you, maybe you made him jealous because of your friendship and attention you get from Kayla! It can be unnerving to play with someone that hates you, just try not to think about it as it can influence your play.
"Everything about my life is better that everything about your life. " Answer to that brain fart could be.. "Yeah, you got better poker fellows around you." " I mean those guys around you are absolute diamonds, you do not see people like that very often."
The fact that you folded the AQ to a 25 big blind river bet on that board kind of indicates you might be afraid of losing money to this guy because of your conflict with him.
I had 11 set over set situations in 2023, all of them I lost. It wiped 90% of my bankroll. In my defense Polk said don’t fold sets :/. Do you ever fold a set with no realistic straight / flush combos available (in case obscure hands beat you)? Or just live with the variance?
You never really know, though, on hands where the opponent folds after they see your set. You could have some wins that you just do not know were set over set.
It would have to be against somebody I know is never bluffing and it has to be bottom set for me to consider folding a set on a dry board. Depending on pre-flop action against a really big nit I would maybe fold a set of 7's on a board like K73A9
Why call the turn ? Also I think boats bet more on the river . Could have easily been a worse ace that he thought was good and the k on gen apart makes it less likely he had one . Just my .02
You should get that hater into more games with you--especially after you got back at him after the AQ hand. 🙃 Also if there's any sort of scenario I like more than I should, it's any scenario where pocket Jacks do the cracking for once. Neat set over set win there and neat winning session as well.
On the first hand Isn’t A-K a 3bet UTG? Weird he would limp/call with AK. I think he may have turned the boat or rivered it. Definitely had you beat in my opinion he would have loved to rub a bluff in your face.
Horrible fold with the AQ. Sorry man but you definitely chickened out simply because you didn't want to pay a guy you dislike. There's like two hands that you lose to given the action, A7ss and pocket 7s. Any other person and I guarantee you make that call 99% of the time.
I agree with AQ fold. i appreciate your folding based on opponent. But you also have many better spots to put in money. His call of your preflop raise, call on flop, small check raise on turn, and donk bet on river is a line that a full house makes. You unblock pocket 77. You also lose to AK, A8, A7. So there are plenty of hands that can take this line and beat you. Will he take this line with worse a kicker or crazy bluff? Maybe. His line just wants to make me puke. Small enough raise to keep you in on turn. Small enough bet to get you to call. The 250 bet on river is really interesting. Is that blocker or value? You put thumb on side of scale of value based on player type. I think this is a fold you should be proud of. You went through a very long downswing in fall when you were making second best hand and paying off on river. Your analysis lead you to view hand that way and folded.
85% he has a Full House. ? Really A bad Vote, I called that.. You should have said 85%. You have to call with this hand, Anyway God bless you good luck to you.
Hey Ben, when you called with middle set, I thought sure he was going to turn over AQ for the straight. But I guess that's why you're the vlogger, and I'm the viewer. I don't think you could have gotten away with that in Vegas however.
Why do you think some games are shark infested? Why play each other when they can find better games themselves? Do they just like competition or is there just not enough to choose from?
People who hate for no reason are really very unhappy. You run into them occasionally and it’s surprising to see how unfriendly they can be. I liked your analysis on the AQ hand, 85% you were correct.
This guy is getting more and more unwatchable every vlog. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad he plays and enjoys it and provides content but mannnn… Hardly gives action, plays like a nit, talks about “Old man coffees” and complains when the “action” players don’t give action or leave. Literally an “OMC”
Someone who says “everything about my life is better than everything about your life”, clearly is lying. People who have great lives typically don’t go around saying that unprovoked.
The older gentleman that hate's you just means. he's married, you are not, and he believes that having a wife is better than being divorced or a single dad.
I cannot believe you folded AQ on that first hand

Ben you seem like a very nice and likable person and for sure a great dad
I appreciate that!
Folding AQ there is such an exploit, you’d have to know your opponent really really really well. Knowing just that he hates you isn’t enough imo
4:40 _"...you could tell there was a High (pause!) level of disgust in the notion..."_
As a longtime 9ers fan, I'm right there with you. I think they have a good shot at winning it all this year. We just need everyone to stay healthy.
Kayla corner always good!!
I think you let the "old guy" get in your head.
Trip Aces win a majority of the time.!!! 😮😮😮
He wants your stack but he didnt hit. Check call the flop? With AK? And he hates you? No. AJ. AT. KQs. QJs gutshot. Medium pocket? No fold.
I think the AQ hand was absolutely 77. Good fold.
Hey, love the videos. Quick question. You often refer to “the rock” in the videos. Is that simply a mandatory straddle or is there more to it?
That guy lives in your head rent free.
He owns you.
Other way around cuz
I finally subbed to CLP (thanks Ben). I have a lot of respect for Bart and I also love Charlie’s Third Man Walking podcast. My results have improved recently and ILM hoping to become a more solid and consistent player.
It’s become a staple in my life. Wouldn’t want to go without it.
folding AQ is egregious. he’s got way more bluffs than value hands. nittiest fold of 2023.
I will ALWAYS have bluffs in my range, especially for my friends! Those bluffs might be even more out of line, actually…
Worst bluff I’ve seen all year … she doesn’t have any ‘socials’. Lol - I call. Ship me the pot.
Waited 2 weeks for this video 🫠
me too did not like him posting the same two weeks in a row!!! I read the first on early on monday and waited a whole week for the same video BEN YOU MUST HAVE PLAYED MORE POKER DURING THAT WEEK AND COULD HAVE RE-POSTED THAT ONE AND A NEW ONE .....I DO NO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DID NOT GO THAT ROUTE.
I’m gonna use that line the old man told you. It’s gold
Except he's old!
The quote. Whoa!
Ah fuck, really Mike Nelson no longer at The Peppermill, met him in 2015 at Run It Up Reno, I'm a huge fan of the poker room there & I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
I dig the content, poker and look at the west.

He had AJ you were good
Whatever happened to the once prevalent Octo-Crab???
Unfortunately Ben, i can understand how guys that don't know you could dislike you, it happens to me all the time, i just accept it.
Maybe he has some haters from TV. Isn’t Ben on the local news?
@DeadMoneyDragon. He has that serious way of speaking as all news characters have, he's funny, but he is also the complete opposite of me, he's a liberal, drives a Tesla, hates smoke, which is fine, but he lets you know it, lol, would probably get drunk on one drink, I probably could ad a few more things, but it would be purely speculation, but I find him interesting and entertaining, unfortunately, he's probably not going to want to hangout with me and my friends after the sun goes down 🌞

First hand? TP (tight-passive) would play 77 pre-fl that way...at least on occasion. I think you were beat every street...
Folding AQ there was shocking. Playing scared.
He could have easily had kings full or ak sometimes you beat
Skol !! I had to give u a little hassle. Gl to ur niners hope to play u again
Needs more Stormy
I like you and all but my cowboys need this one lol
Hi Ben. Another win, awesome. That guy that hates you, maybe you made him jealous because of your friendship and attention you get from Kayla! It can be unnerving to play with someone that hates you, just try not to think about it as it can influence your play.
Solid. I'm also doing Vegas before the SB, then heading to Reno for SB weekend
Niners are looking good. We'll see.
What good is being wealthy if you're old and grumpy? One thing you can't buy is more time! I'd take your life over his any day Ben!
Haters gonna hate, Ben. Rise above.
Congratulations on jinxing your team...
I think he had 7’s full
"Everything about my life is better that everything about your life. " Answer to that brain fart could be..
"Yeah, you got better poker fellows around you."
" I mean those guys around you are absolute diamonds, you do not see people like that very often."
Sorry Ben
But it's all about The Detroit Lions this year. Which is long overdue lol
If the Niners do not win, I am rooting for the Lions to do so.
1st hand, my guess, he had AK. Good fold. BTW - haters are very sad people, that is why they hate.
What's the reason behind the game being ZERO five ten

Bro, how do you just go up and ask someone for their social security number? 🚫
That’s not what they were asking. They were asking if Kayla had social media platforms like Facebook,instagram, or twitter for example
Why call the turn ? Also I think boats bet more on the river . Could have easily been a worse ace that he thought was good and the k on gen apart makes it less likely he had one . Just my .02
CrushLivePoker and Ben Deach - I consider this almost better than pocket aces preflop
You should get that hater into more games with you--especially after you got back at him after the AQ hand. 🙃
Also if there's any sort of scenario I like more than I should, it's any scenario where pocket Jacks do the cracking for once. Neat set over set win there and neat winning session as well.
Excellent fold. 77 for sure
Sounds like you hate him 😂 folded so you won’t give him money
On the first hand Isn’t A-K a 3bet UTG? Weird he would limp/call with AK. I think he may have turned the boat or rivered it. Definitely had you beat in my opinion he would have loved to rub a bluff in your face.
Are you bringing your child with you for those days leading up to the Super Bowl?
BenjaNIT
Mike put a roofy in Kaylas drink and got caught wheelchairing her to his car
Good Vlog and the women in the video isn't bad either 😊
Lmao I love it
great fold with AQ

nothing better in poker than being hated by the opponent
Not if it causes you to fold the almost effective nuts to a 25 big blind river bet! 😂

Should rub it in his face everytime you take his money cheer loudly in his face to wind him up i would 😂
Who could hate you bro.....
85% he has a Full House. ? Really A bad Vote, I called that.. You should have said 85%. You have to call with this hand, Anyway God bless you good luck to you.
You're a good man Ben, loyalty is everything.
Thanks Mike! Sucks.
Ben everything in my life is worse than yours. Except for our cat.......
Hey Ben, when you called with middle set, I thought sure he was going to turn over AQ for the straight. But I guess that's why you're the vlogger, and I'm the viewer. I don't think you could have gotten away with that in Vegas however.
Why do you think some games are shark infested? Why play each other when they can find better games themselves? Do they just like competition or is there just not enough to choose from?
the fact that someone you barely know is comparing his life to yours reaks of jealousy and envy...
Folded the aq??? Im outta here.........never watching your vlogs again after that one
Algorithm
Ask her to something nice. She's in love.
You should find something else to do bro 😂😂, not good enough for poker 👎👎👎
I’m sorry but I can’t watch your video to the end, you so bad 😢😢😢😢
What is the Kayla corner nonsense? Are you at least burying your ace of spades?
People want to know if she has a only fans 😂😂
People who hate for no reason are really very unhappy. You run into them occasionally and it’s surprising to see how unfriendly they can be. I liked your analysis on the AQ hand, 85% you were correct.
Kayla is so damn fine...
AQ fold?wtf. Scared money. Quit poker
Total disrespectful of a sad man who is not happy with his own life,fold correct👍he will of gone home sick😂😂😂
This guy is getting more and more unwatchable every vlog.
Don’t get me wrong I’m glad he plays and enjoys it and provides content but mannnn…
Hardly gives action, plays like a nit, talks about “Old man coffees” and complains when the “action” players don’t give action or leave.
Literally an “OMC”
Someone who says “everything about my life is better than everything about your life”, clearly is lying.
People who have great lives typically don’t go around saying that unprovoked.
Very true
Anyone can have a bad game but SF right now is favored to win the SB so I think they are a lock.
I am sure there is more than 1 guy that dislikes him. 😂
The older gentleman that hate's you just means. he's married, you are not, and he believes that having a wife is better than being divorced or a single dad.
