My First Time Playing Poker | vlog day 1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- This is my first time to ever play live poker in a casino! I visited the Grand Sierra Poker room in Reno, and played in a $1/$2 game. Things started off fast, and I called an "all in" bet on my very first hand with a pair of Jacks! This is day 1 of my 900 day journey to become a "pro" poker player.

This is so great to see! I want to start playing poker, and seeing you share your beginning is so encouraging!
Awesome. That’s why I started channel. Starting at beginning
This was actually a really good vlog .. it’s raw and shows what’s it’s really like as a beginner !!! Excited to watch you grow brotha
Appreciate you checking out!
So true since I've been learning and playing online and want to try live poker its nice to see the first raw video.
Just subscribed coming from a long time craps viewer ✌️
@Color Up Poker thank you for the vid, coming from an avid viewer.
TH-cam even pays in the background as your craps videos play as ASMR
Awwww yeah, love the live action, the hole card camera angle, and the quick flow of the streamlined editing/narrating! Great stuff! Can't wait for more live action. Only 899 more days until you're buying in at the World Series of Poker! Enjoy the ride!
Thanks! Plan is new vlog each Monday
The die as your card token is an awesome touch! Looking forward to this series
First love is still dice! 🎲 thanks for checking out my poker vlog
Love the live videos. The best content for both Craps and Poker.
Appreciate you supporting both!!
Not a terrible start. Good luck to you. Your editing is pretty good especially for a beginning vlogger.
Really enjoyed this - felt like it was my first time again even with the shaky hands.
Here is some quick tips:
1. Study some free poker range charts, you can check out Jonathan Little for free ones
2. Don't buy in for 60$ it's a tell to some of the other players and can target you as scared money, Buy in for at least 150 big blinds
3. Start your preflop raises higher - start with 10$ and avoid going lower than 8$ - increase it the more limpers there are
4. If someone raises you on the turn or river - at these stakes, just fold unless you have a set or better (on clean boards).
Keep it up man, you will get there!
Thanks for advice, appreciate you watching
Fun to watch! Welcome to live cash, keep grinding excited to watch you learn on your way to day 900
Thank you! I’m a big fan of your channel!
I relate to the shaking hands lmao😂😂
Great video man I’m rooting for you to make great progress on your journey!
Good first vlog. I will watch your journey. Appreciate the real-ness. Not a mistake to call with the jacks. Many times they will play AK like that. And you could have picked up a Jack on the board. THAT would have been awesome!. If you folded it would have been out of fear. Glad you didn't play scared. Make sure to say "raise" only if there is a bet ahead of you. Otherwise it is leading out, as you did say most of the time. Hang in there and good luck!
Thanks for the tips!
Pretty cool to share your first session like this! I'll never forget my first experience with live poker in a casino. It's intimidating. I lost all $200 I bought in for within an hour and a half haha.
One thing though, whoever is the first person to put chips out during a new street (new betting round) is "betting", not "raising." Raising is specifically when someone has already made a bet during the current betting round, but someone else increases (i.e. raises) the bet. Small nitpick though. Fun to watch!
WOW, first live game. Awesome. Fun to watch. Like your play by play and the finish. Look forward to the next installment. Good luck on your journey.
Thanks for checking out. Should have a new one each week.
Man you were getting blessed with beautiful hands back to back. Awesome bro and very well played with what you had. this definitely my boosts confidence I only play online I’m not very social but this is awesome 💯
Another suggestion. Several of the poker training sites have free hand range charts. The first step to becoming a winning player is understanding hand ranges and knowing at which positions each hand becomes worthwhile to call/raise. (If you already have a good grasp of this, that's great. I mention it because of how you played JJ and AK. 😁)
Yep, I’m aware of them and have general idea, just haven’t taken to memorizing yet
@@coloruppoker I'd work on button and BB ranges first because those are the widest ranges you should play. You can work your way backwards from there. :)
Welcome! I hope to eventually follow suit behind you! Congratulations on a really cool first vlog though!
In the end, I think losing that $100 made for actually really cool and interesting content. Super interesting but not clickbait! Really “fun” cooler despite hero being on the losing end
Also, other Poker Vloggers have moved on to bigger and higher stakes. Its hard to relate to $10/$20 when a large audience just plays $1/$2. So, I appreciate the relatability!
SUBBED!
Appreciate that. That’s why I started this.really loving poker, but couldn’t relate to all the semipro and pro players playing bigger games. Seems to be a gap for us beginners.
There’s times where I despise YT algo, but today I’m very happy. Enjoyed this mate. I’m recently back playing poker, bit of a downswing playing online (I see it as my cost of learning) but I have defs become very sharp and ready to take a shot at live. This has encouraged me. Good luck on your journey.
Glad you found me and I appreciate the comment. Glad to hear you are going to take a shot a live games.
Did not know about this channel.
I gone the other way from playing poker to learning craps.
Good luck and going to watch the rest of the videos so far
Thanks, both are great games
Good luck from Germany. Learnd So much about craps from you. Thanks.
Happy to be here from Vlog 1.
Love craps, looking forward to learning poker. Thanks for watching
I'm binge watching these videos. I haven't played live for almost 10 years, but have a Biloxi trip in a couple of weeks, and a LV trip in March... might get my feet wet.
I was nervous for sure
Enjoyed your first poker video. Like the others I have been too intimidated to play live poker. I may change my mind after watching a few more of your poker videos.
Yeah, I gotta say I was pretty nervous playing at first. But I’m getting comfortable. I will say, the thing with poker is you can control what you are involved in. You can literally just fold every hand if you want and just pay the little blinds to be at table and get comfortable. nervous to play ace-queen, or 9-9, fine, just fold, no one will know or judge you. Play when your comfortable would be my advice.
I’ve been playing poker 20 years and picked up craps the past few years during Covid. Love the videos. Like to chat up poker an craps.
Glad you like them!
Nice vlog.. you got a sub... play as much as you can... you will find it's the same crowd on a daily basis at these kinda places. You will get to know the players, how they play and relax. Then study study study the game. Also, you need a friend that plays for a living. Someone to bounce hands off of post game. Someone who understands the game at a higher level than you. Nothing makes your game get better faster than having someone to help with your game who really understands the game. Good luck. Looking forward to future games. I might even run into you some day. I don't play Reno often but do a couple times per year.
Thanks for advice. Definitely need to find someone to help me out.
You might be the new BRAD. I'd liked it so far. Keep it up.
I’m no Brad ha, but I’m going to give it a run. Thanks for checking out
Wow, you had some good hands in a short time. It’s hard to back down with pocket face cards. Would’ve been a great fold. Good first session. Looking forward to the next 899. Good luck!
Thanks for checking out my first vlog. New vlogs on mondays
LOVE IT! Well done Jeremy.
Thanks so much!
Im excited to see you trying out Poker. I love your other channel but i think poker is the next best thing for a social time with lots of people! Craps for fun Poker for Profit Both for Fun!!! great job on putting out the content!
Thanks for checking out my new adventure
1) Anytime you hear "I guess I'll go all in." and they seem bummed, or say "ok, I need to go home anyways."- You're probably behind.
2) NEVER play live like you do online. They aren't the same.
3) Learn to fold 80% of hands, be patient.
4) A/K preflop is rarely worth an all-in in a cash game.
Yeah, the weak is strong act is real I found. Thx for tips, keep ‘em coming
Good for you Jeremy! Nice first time. I could tell you were nervous. You have some cheap poker out there. Up here in the Northeast, the usual pre-flop raise (in 1-2 NL) is to $12 with a three-bet of $25 or $30. You really need to get a feel for the other players at the table. I saw a lot of pre-flop raises with unsuited, unconnected face cards. Some even worse hands than that. I was left wondering what these guys thought they were doing? After a while of figuring out the table (and losing a $100 hand), I wound up taking a few good hands and walking out with an extra couple hundred dollars. :)
Yeah, right now I’m just playing with daytime crowd, so it’s pretty cheap. I guess nights and weekends can get rowdy, but I want to get more comfortable first. Thanks for checking out my vlog
Very raw. 😂. Your face expression before and after the session is very much different. 😅. Keep your confidence in the game. You can do it!! CheerrUp!!🎃
Thank you, I will
Wow that's awesome keep on doing more and I'll have you back on the big d zone soon..
This rules. Glad to see Colorup diversifying!
appreciate you checking out my new stuff!
Never realized how genius the name color up was until you went from craps vids to poker vids.
The name still makes sense.
Muhahaha, I can take over the entire gambling world with this name….ha, I got lucky stumbling on the name for sure
@@coloruppoker you've definately left the door open for a lot of diversity on your channel, that's for sure.
Good luck on your run, enjoy the videos.
Thanks!!
so poetic going all in first hand and losing. way to forge ahead!
Haha, crazy start to things.
how did you record this angle, you've inspired me to start a vlog for my yet to begin live poker journey
Best of luck with it!
Thanks
very well put together vlog, maybe possibly make the vlogs "longer" if possible, other than that love it.
Cool thanks, longer hmm. I’m not sure I have enough hands worth showing yet
Best book for you to read is Mastering Small Stakes No Limit Hold 'Em, by far. You get practical advice based on theory, but it's not overly complex. Then Excelling at Tough No-Limit Hold'em Games. After you have digested all of the concepts in those 2 books, go for Applications of No-Limit Hold em by Matthew Janda and Modern Poker Theory by Michael Acevedo. Those two (especially MPT) are very complex.
Thanks for recommending. Several have mentioned johnathon littles book. I should start there.
Bro you were shaking! I have yet to play in a casino but I can definitely see myself shaking also lol
Well my hands already shake some even when not nervous, but I certainly was extra shaky for this first time ha
I’m trying the same path myself. Up’s and downs my friend…all you gotta do is stick to it and have some fun seein’ some cards!
Nice! So you’re pretty new to game yourself?
@@coloruppoker started accidentally November last year. So far in the positive. I had the opposite experience you did. Went in with 50 and left with 1348…less tips of course. Loved that dealer
@@theunusualsuspects835 started accidentally? Sounds interesting story
@@coloruppoker accidentally to become professional. Long story short…played with family and friends and a couple times at the casino mostly with positive results. Local poker is tough to find here so the American legion was where I had to go and they were intimidating. But good teachers.
🎉
Jeremy… I do suggest you study starting hands a bit more, but it was a fun video to watch. I think you will do great. I imagine you already know these guys, but I’m partial to Jonathan Little and James “Splitsuit” Sweeney videos
Yep, those two guys I watch a lot of their stuff
poker, dam guess im watching your vlog more then. I started playing poker after craps, I was playing craps alots too when you started your craps games videos. After gambling for many years I think poker can be a better game because more personal decision making and if you lose, you dont feel too bad and can learn from it. good luck out there.
Thanks for checking out the vlog!
How did you do the card overlay to go over the hand what program did you use
I edit my videos with Final Cut Pro. All the graphics I designed myself.
Cool video man! You should watch the Blackrain79 course so you can improve. You scared everyone off the pot on the AKo on the flop and over played your JJ pre. K5o is too weak to play, and you could of took down the pot with AQo wirh a standard c-bet. You want to coming into the pot with a raise high enough that you only get one caller. Play tighter from Early positions, and don't go after every draw. If you raise to lets say $8 and c-bet the flop 1/2 pot and get a fold you got $10.5 vs one opponent vs limping in and getting 4 callers and c-betting as now there's way higher risk to you that you're not gonna win the hand and they'll catch something crazy like a 72o 2 pair and beat your hand as strong as AA. Good luck!!
Awesome. I'm in the same position as you were. I'm comfortable playing online for the most part, but never played a live table game and I'm actually pretty nervous to give it a try....especially when I start hearing foreign terminology like limp or nut bust(what are we talking about here...lol). But thanks for sharing the experience
Yeah, pretty nervous for me. By third time I was feeling comfortable. Well more so. Still not as confident as I am online. You’ll have to just give it a try. Even if you go and fold every hand, just to get some comfort at table.
You did really good. Made a few minor mistakes with your hands but overall I am really excites for you. My advice is keep going and invest in a training site.
Ok, thanks
You should always chop the blinds if given the option. As soon as the flop is dealt, they pull out the rake. You are always going to average losing money in the blinds; skip as many as you can.
Makes sense, thx
I'm going to be playing poker at the casino as my first game. I've been practicing it at home for a little while and got an idea of what to expect.
Nice! Go for it
@@coloruppoker My first time around went pretty well, I did lose a little bit, but in the end was able to walk out with even money. I went in for $200. All I can say is thank you to my family and friends for playing Texas Hold Em' with me at home all these years. That practice payed off. Then, I went over to the craps table and immediately found my favorite casino game of all. There, I won an extra $89 and left the Grand Sierra Resort with $289 nearly making my +$100 goal. My 21st Birthday experience was just perfect!
nice job! subbed
Appreciate the sub
Love the dice
Ha, im a dice player at heart, so I have to
I was nervous with you, thanks, I enjoyed it even if you lost a hundred.
Appreciate you joining journey
@@coloruppoker thank you!
Jeremy, What's a good website to practice?
Well I don’t like any free to play sites. With no skin in game everyone just plays too unrealistic. I play on wsop.com but only available in a few states. Sorry I don’t have a good recommendation.
This is a great idea
thanks for checking out my vlog
I don't know how to play poker. This is going to be fun.. What does it mean when you call / check ✔ someone?
Call means you match the bet of someone who has bet before you.
Check means you choose not to bet, and pass the option to player behind you. You cannot check if there is a bet before you. In that case you would either, call, fold, or raise.
Good luck on your journey. How long did you play for at the table?
Probably about 3 hrs.
Man didn't realize there was more Jeremy. Must have missed the memo!
tight is right. don't play fancy or bluff. most people don't bluff. position is everything. tighten your range with shortstack.
bro don't worry about the JJ hand ..with 50 BBs you are always getting it all in pre flop there just unlucky the guy shows up with KK...Dan Harrington's Cash games books are good if you are just starting out in Live no limit..
thanks for book recommendation. yeah, that's what I was thinking 50bb, id prolly make same call
I think you could 4bet fold JJs. However, that call means you really likely don't have KK, QQ, AK which makes your 4 bet more vulnerable
Also, when 100BB or shorter, you really want to aggressively try to get all the money in preflop with AK and get fold equity or light calls. I like to trap with AA and AQ sometimes
Question sir do you naturally shake
Do you know who Ben Deach is? He's a poker vlogger in Reno. You should get in touch with him.
Yeah, I watch his stuff. At some point I’ll reach out I’m sure.👍🏻
also, possibly maybe put the current stack of the player that the action is to
I’ll get there and know it’s important, but currently I can’t keep up with all the info yet.
Smh why you stop recording
GOOD LUCK everyone is new once
Thanks!
Excellent Vlog and journey~ Study study...Limping with AK is never ever ever good in a live game. Players will go in with 34os and beat ur AK because u didnt clean out those ranges.
👍🏻
Ive got some really good study material courses that ill be happy to share with you and hopefully help your journey. Msg me and ill share on google drive for you bro
Unlucky, pair of face cards always hard to put down but why did he go all in.... Ahhh now you know
live and learn ha
I subbed
I WISH YOU LUCK
we share the same goal
Never give up
🍻
Thank you!
Dam you are nervous your hands were shaking
Congratulations 🎉 🎊 on your new channel! Cheers to becoming a poker pro in 900 days @ColorUpPoker
I’m enjoying so far
First action after the flop is "bet", not "raise".
Thanks, still learning
I'm going to give it to you straight: It wasn't a very good vlog at all. However, that is understandable as you are new to live poker. First off if you've watched other vloggers which you say you have then you should know proper terminology such as a bet after the flop with no prior action is a bet or lead out and not a raise. Also, when you have 3 to a straight or flush after the flop, you have a back door draw. And of course you need to have accurate hand histories.
As for results, if you want to win at those stakes, play ABC poker which generally speaking will not lead to an interesting vlog. So you have to decide if you want to be a vloggers who's playing poker for content or if you want to really become a pro poker player who's also vlogging the experience. I'll be subscriber #696 and I look forward to improved vlogs. Good luck in your quest!
It’s about the raw process. I’m real. If I make mistakes, it’s because I don’t know better. I’m choosing to go after a certain niche. The beginner just like me. There are tons of pros vlogging at 5/10 and higher games which are im positive are more interesting for experienced players like yourself. Appreciate the sub, and I’m sure I’ll learn, but don’t get frustrated if I don’t improve at your speed.
@@coloruppoker I'm not sure if you mean improve at poker or improve at vlogging. In any event, I'm sure you'll improve at both and I won't get frustrated. But improper terminology does put me on tilt a bit but again, you'll pick up on that pretty quickly I'm sure. Good luck again!
Thanks. I hope I’ll improve at both ha
Furst live hand ever, and he knew that one chip is a call? 🤔
It’s not a raise when you act first
Play tighter slow roll
👍🏻
You are better at playing crabs 🦀 2,3, 12 don’t bass and don’t come bud
Poker school gets expensive. Pick up all the information from your losing hands on what not to do. Log that info, it's more important to you than the things that you should do. The tax payers won't pay back your student loans on this one.
thanks for advice
Lol love how ur hands shake, and the fac that you're a begginner.
haha, you saw that huh? im as new as it gets
@@coloruppoker If you want to actually become pro, get the basics from the internet, openning ranges, from diff positions, bet sizes, and play abc, tight is right. And always choose a good table with fish.
What’s your Instagram!????
Colorupclub but I’m not really active
Okay, so... first of all thanks for creating content and congratulations for putting yourself out there and having a goal.
I want you to go right away and watch the video "Can I Make Money Playing Poker" by Alec Torelli.
If you want to improve as quickly as possible you need to start treating yourself as a cognitive athlete, meaning organizing your life around peak mental performance. You will be able to learn the mechanics of the game, provided that your lifestyle and your living arrangement provide you with the resources to put in long periods of 'flow' state in order to soak up the material that there is. Elite performers don't necessarily have something you don't; often times they lack something that you have. A buzzing phone, irritating friends, a home office full of clutter, a drinking problem, video games, etc. etc. Enforce a zone of absolute quiet around your study time and around your sleep.
At this point there is kind of too much poker information and you can study bad material or you can study something that's too far above your level; to learn it needs to be accessible to where you are right now. You are very new so you will likely learn something from anything you read. I have read dozens of poker books and my favorite author is Ed Miller, and specifically his book 'The Course.' And google pokerlistings.com "how to not suck at poker" (No offense.)
As with any high-functioning professional, you need to be concerned more with your system and your process than your results. You need to be driven to understand spots and improve, and more or less indifferent to the outcome of an individual hand. You will get there.
A good mental trick/experiment to do is imagine that you had already been crushing the biggest games in the world for years, and then you suddenly hit your head and lost your poker process/knowledge, but you still retained vague memories of winning. Assume you also lost most of your money somehow. What would you do? Would you grind $1/$2 for months or years hoping to 'build up a roll?' No. You would immediately focus all of your time and money on re-capturing the skills you had, because you know deep down that there is a way to do it and why bother grinding out a small living with a small edge when you could be making yacht money? Such a person would invest as much as they could, as fast as they could, in coaching/training/study, to get back to the level they knew they were capable of.
The only difference between that person and you is that he knows he can do these things, because he did, and you don't. So if you think coaching is something you want to do, and you can physically afford it, then get it fast. Don't try to beat 1/2 and then beat 3/5 and THEN get a coach. Big waste of time. The amount of money you'll eventually be playing could swallow up all the 1/2 pots in your life in a single hand. There is no fundamental difference between the winning guys on HCL and you, only difference is how quickly and efficiently you do the work.
If you need a training dojo, low-stakes zoom games are the best solution because you're hit with thousands of decisions every hour, whereas live poker is excruciatingly slow. (But you need a HUD if the site allows one, I use holdem manager 3.) Experience has value but you get way more of it way faster online. There's a guy called Blake Eastman who runs a live tells program that I recommend, but at your level, do not worry about that for now. Watch Bart Hanson's 'Crush live poker' podcasts and you will very quickly improve.
Let me warn you about one other thing: low-stakes live rake. Figure out the rake structure of the casino you're playing in. If she's taking a $6 dead drop out of the pot every hand like they do in los angeles $1/$2 and she's only letting you buy in for 40 bigs, that's a problem. That game may be unbeatable or barely beatable if there are a lot of fish. Don't get stuck trying to beat unbeatable games. If you tell me what the structure is I will tell you if it is beatable.
Very brutal game. Very brutal lifestyle. See how it goes part-time first.
Thanks for taking the time to give lots of advice. Love it. In future video I will clarify by what I mean when I say "pro player" I certainly don't intend to grind for 40hrs, but my goals will probably be based more on win rate. The local casino ive started at for rake is 10% up to $3 for 1/2. buy ins are $100-1000. You gave me plenty of leads to start pursuing, thanks again.
@@coloruppoker You're welcome, that is a great rake structure and you can definitely beat it. They allow you to buy in real deep too. Could actually make a living off that game if/when it plays deep enough.
