I'm sad to say that one of the friendliest guys in poker, David Valdez, passed away a few days ago. He loved the game and was a tournament crusher. He was a big supporter of poker vlogs and came to several meet up games. I have clips of us playing together at the end of this episode. Please consider donating to help his family cover funeral expenses: www.gofundme.com/f/david-beast-valdez?+share-sheet& Here's a link to a vlog I made in which David and I battled in some very fun hands: th-cam.com/video/IG-vYJcHCmw/w-d-xo.html He was a bright spot, always joyful and laughing at the tables. We'll miss you man.
I don't object to donating to a funeral but just how expensive are they over there ? The Go Fund Me goal is $1,000,000, that seems a little high to me !
Laying down those kings and the explanation leading up to it was absolutely brilliant. Been watching for a while and that was probably my favorite moment of any vlog so far. Very educational and well articulated. You continue to make me a better player. Thanks man, keep slaying.
Fun video Brad! I've recently gone back and binged a lot of your old videos and I have to say you're a really easy guy to root for. Great energy and I really appreciate what you do for both your viewers and those around you. Keep up the grind, big fan!
I really like the end of the video... This shows that yes at the table people are your competition, but still you are all part of a community and spending many hours at those tables together :-) nice thing to do this...
Your poker game isn’t the only thing on fire, the comedy injections have come a long way since the early vlogs. Keep it up Brad! I enjoy these even more than pocket Jiggities.
Rob said it was his first time ever playing 5/10 and that he normally plays 1/3. He actually did pretty well will all things considered and I think he booked a win.
Yes I am.. thank god for people like you who go on TH-cam and look at peoples comments, not directed at them, and have to put in thr 2cents.. great job
From the happy music when you cash out to the moving tribute to David (only time i ever played with him with at your MUG at Graton- of course he crushed me).. RIP. 🙏❤️
My god dude, your content is stellar lol -- was having a pretty bad day today and you gave me a couple solid laughs that I really needed. Thanks again man
For those asking about Rob paying the time forward. There are two ways that casinos make money off of poker games. The first way is via the rake, which is very common in lower stakes limit games as well as in some no-limit games. The other way is via a time charge, which is more common in higher stakes limit games as well as in no-limit games at all levels. In a time-charge game, players will each put out a particular amount at each dealer change. This money is then collected by the incoming dealer and dropped down the rake chute. There is no further money removed from the game for the entire dealer down. If the house allows it, and the players agree, they may use a "time pot" to pay the time charge. Rather than each player putting out a set amount for the down, the money to pay time for all the players is taken from one or two pots. Often the time pot will be the first pot, or first two pots, after the down starts, however they may be qualifying conditions that contribute to the time being taken from a pot later in the down. One such qualifier is the pot size; that is, the time charge may not be taken until the pot is large enough to pay the entire charge. This type of time payment is thought to benefit the tight player as they will be playing fewer pots and, thus, may avoid paying time more easily. Because most cardrooms are unwilling to wait for the first qualifying pot to accept payment for time, one player will often post time for the table, expecting to be reimbursed out of the first one or two qualifying pots.
If Brad runs out of Bradley Dollars to donate, at least we know he can have a semi-professional career as a Comic. Some of his material is a pisser! #anotherstellarvlog
OMGosh Brad, I'm watching while my wife gives piano lessons in the great room. Your humorous commentary is almost impossible for me to keep from busting out laughing uncontrollably. You have a career as a comedian my friend.
It's been smooth. No last effects other than the fact that it took several weeks to get my taste back. Glad to be playing poker and making videos. Meet up games are next on the horizon.
Great analysis at 11:18. I would probably also advocate for not having a cold four bet range in this spot specifically (UTG 4x open HJ 3 bet). Very tough spot to continue with many hands at all if you're only gonna four bet in that spot and your calls become way too weak.
Hello Brad. I was in Vegas last week for about 5 days. We went for my brother's wedding. I did play at Bellagio, Caesars Palace and a few other recommended places. It would have been nice to run into you. To thank you for your content. Keep up the awesome work. Continuous blessings 👍🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
Running hot!! Congrats bro. I got As cracked three times in a local cash game the other night, brutal. Live to fight another day, still stung. Enjoyed the video
A welcome sight to see your ¨ hey there ¨ this morning . It was nice to see you do that well in the short period of time allotted . The 9 high flush win was classic . Particularly when you have an opponent that is dead set on attempting to buy a pot early in the hand . Alright , get some rest , be safe .
Keep up the good play. Love some of the folds you have made! This seems like a new year and a new Brad. :) Dont forget to get Marvin that catnip. I fear a cold streak is incoming as you finished the vlog without the usual wave. Oh dear...
wow that's crazy homie checked back on the flop and the river. I get that a lot was out there that could have beat him but damn. Well played to him I guess.
Loving the content Brad, and it’s awesome to see you winning. In my eyes you’re the best player in the world, and by far the most interesting to watch. Side note, this is my alt account that I use to flame people on TH-cam, but for you it’s all love and another sub! 🤣
There is an old saying that goes something like..."as your comfort level is, so goes your winning chances". Seems that the Bellagio is your new comfort place.
1. Great tribute at the end of the video. 2. I would happily take all the Bradley dollars in any version of Mario Kart 3. How do you determine how much you tip the cage and dealers after winning a pot? Is it a flat amount based on the stake of the game or does it depend on the size of the pot? Does that amount change whether you’re winning/losing during the session. As always, love the vlogs!!!
If I could “like” this video 1,000 times I would. I’ve been a fan for awhile now and (I’m not some artistic heart strings film student, just another guy who likes to play poker) this video hit on a different level for some reason and it’s my favorite since the flop is “good”. Hahahaha
Brad been watching ur videos like crazy went to play black jack and I ended up on a 7 card straight card and got 10 j queen king queen ace all spades and won 2 grand it was pretty insane 🔥
Some games have a rake. Others charge by time. So instead of taking money from each pot, every player pays a set amount every half hour (usually at the dealer change). $10 per person is common.
Hey Brad, really enjoying your videos, i'll be sticking with you as you continue to climb the Poker pole. I'm playing online only, never actually played a real game so i'm looking forward to being able to do that. I'm interested to know how many hands you fold on in between those that make the vlog
You know, not that long ago those hands where you were beat would have the commentary, "I just can't let it go..". We are really seeing the skills sharpen up quickly. :)

Two of my favorite channels right here!
I would watch that video!
Wait LegalEagle watches Brad Owen? This is incredible.
No no no......I will challenge anyone bud...
O.o never thought I'd see LegalEagle comment on a poker vlog
Episode should have been called, “Brad runs better than Usain bolt”.
And gets in the easiest fold positions ever, great episode
@@tentenwinds ...he made some great lay downs right enough...
I was going to like this comment but it's at 69

"Not enough for Marvins catnip addiction.." 🤣🤣
“I’m surprised he raised pre-flop with pocket 6s”
*next hand*
I raise preflop with pocket 6s
Not surprised he raised pf with pocket 6’s. Surprised he min-raised and then bet two streets with 3rd and then 4th pair.
1:53 bottom set though, oh nvm its quads :D
Have you ever been so bored at work you were praying Brad would post a new video and then POOF it’s there?
hahahaha just NOW
Literally was thinking the same thing
Usually a Boski video posts when that happens to me....
That was me yesterday, lololol.
I really like the end of the video... This shows that yes at the table people are your competition, but still you are all part of a community and spending many hours at those tables together :-) nice thing to do this...
Yo that 97dd hand lmao. Dude bets 40 and calls off 400. Live gameZ.
Your poker game isn’t the only thing on fire, the comedy injections have come a long way since the early vlogs. Keep it up Brad! I enjoy these even more than pocket Jiggities.
Love the discipline you're displaying. Keep up the splendid work!
Okay, why am I on the toilet EVERYTIME I see a Brad Owen video
Brad Owen is like a human laxative. Makes u relax, loosen up and then u just feel great when its done..😀
It's a good episode when your feet fall asleep lol.
Because you go into the tank for a while before finally relinquishing your "hole cards"
The donk wearing a Ryan Depaulo sweatshirt. That is a class Degen if I’ve ever seen one
Rob said it was his first time ever playing 5/10 and that he normally plays 1/3. He actually did pretty well will all things considered and I think he booked a win.
Yes. Let's classify a player after watching 2-5 hands.
Depaulo is the Mike Postle at stones just without the RFI scanner.
Hhaha! Ryan DePaulo vs Brad Owen heads up!
I literally go on TH-cam everyday to see if you have uploaded any videos.. keep them rolling. We love it
Are you not familiar with how the Subscribe button and the Notification bell work in TH-cam?
Yes I am.. thank god for people like you who go on TH-cam and look at peoples comments, not directed at them, and have to put in thr 2cents.. great job

Love the in memory of David at the end was wondering why there wasn’t an outro now I see why. Respect to you brad 🙏
This is my favorite poker play, bluff the flop, semi bluff the turn and value the river. Doesn’t get better
I always find myself watching the vlog sitting in my car before work. It puts me in a great mood so thanks for that Brad
I love to hear stuff like that. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Have a good day at work.
Thank you for uploading brad, been waiting all month for ur videos
I put out a few other ones this month already. Be sure to check those out if you haven't yet.
Earlier than my grandma to any family function
Love the way you thought out the KK pre-flop. Very well played
Yeah, I probably would have raised there. But the Flop was a no brainer lay down.
Best poker vlog and hand summaries that I've seen in a long time, great content Brad
I have herby reached peaked addiction for Brad’s videos, nothing more that I enjoy these days to relax to.
Brads comedic ability cant be complemented enough.. almost as good as his actual play
i think Brad doesnt give himself nearly enough credit.. ;-)
One of the reasons I love these videos is for the commentary. "I grab some circular things" 🤣
Marvin watching the video: "Yes, yessss, good job human."
yes human, i need those bradly dollars for my catnip
I ❤️ Marvin the Martian
Very disciplined folds in some of those hands in situations where you seem to have often called in prior sessions. Well done.
That 9/7 hand was incredible. Pure style.
Congratulations on almost hitting 400K Subs!!!!
OMGosh Brad, I'm watching while my wife gives piano lessons in the great room. Your humorous commentary is almost impossible for me to keep from busting out laughing uncontrollably. You have a career as a comedian my friend.
The depaulo hoodie was hype I’d love to see Brad and Ryan play
Bruh I can't wait a whole week for your vids to come out man I just love them
I've been following you for a long time and I think this is the first time I've seen you hit the backdoor flush on the river. That was epic!!
Good to see you regularly uploading after covid, How has your recovery been?
It's been smooth. No last effects other than the fact that it took several weeks to get my taste back. Glad to be playing poker and making videos. Meet up games are next on the horizon.

@@BradOwenPoker Good to hear!
That fake heart check was a brilliant move. I swear I learn something new every day
Brad makes Quads,Say No more Ytube! Liked,Watched,and day complete! Prayers to David and family.
2:48 didn't catch what Rob did. Can anyone explain?
Thanks for taking me to Live-Poker in these Casinos I will likely never visit. One of my favourite channels during the Pandemic.
Super dope that you paid respect to David at the end!
This guy is the Stuart Scott of poker color commentary BOOYAH

"the up-a-ton peninsula" got me lmao
Hey Brad out about the 1:56 mark you said that the trip sixes were a middle set when in actuality they were a bottom set just before you hit quads!
Hello Brad. I was in Vegas last week for about 5 days. We went for my brother's wedding. I did play at Bellagio, Caesars Palace and a few other recommended places. It would have been nice to run into you. To thank you for your content. Keep up the awesome work. Continuous blessings 👍🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
I like the way you play KK (@12:10). Minimum loss for the hand. Also, I think you are getting a lot better of knowing when to call it quit. Good job.
Running hot!! Congrats bro. I got As cracked three times in a local cash game the other night, brutal. Live to fight another day, still stung. Enjoyed the video

Condolences on the loss of your friend. Sounds like a great person.
I like watching your video bro, I’m from Philippines
Brad - please consider placing a small time-of-day clock in a corner of the screen so we can tell how much time has passed between hands.

The sly comments like,” that’s not enough for Marvins addiction to catnip” get me every time
why do people dislike the vids? if you dont like it dont watch ... Brad ur awesome I really enjoy these vids thanks !
Yours views absurd now good shit man glad to see! Oh and love the vlog keep it up thanks!
Me when I get quads: *OMG I HAVE QUADS!🔥*
Brad: We collected all of them.
EXACTLY what I was thinking 😂😂😂🤣
Hey Brad sorry to hear about your friend. Brad 'the crusher' Owen back in action at his own value town, Bellagio. Another great win.
That middle set at 1:50 looks a lot like bottom set to me, but what do I know?
Loving the vids man, keep 'em comin!

Love seeing some of the more technical folds in this episode. Keep it up Brad!

Hi Brad. Love the vlog. I notice you move tables quite a bit. Is this part of strategy? How often do you move?
