Why Tournaments Will Always Be Better Than Cash Games

- cash games are great, but they rarely have the blind raises, crazy calls, and massive punts I witnessed in this incredible event. worst of all, they don't even have my good friend BUDDY.

I don’t understand half of the poker terminology, but I understand Air Bud. Great video.
Did not expect a brewstew comment
thanks for the kind words, means a lot coming from another creator
I saw air bud thought of you and now here you are
There’s no rules against a dog playing poker.
Which ones don't u understand. Il teach you
There is no greater feeling than being on a final table. It even beats being drunk and smoking crack.
Crazy comment
Speaking from experience?
@@spec404 absolutely
Confirmed
Unreal comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"this guy plays so loosely so i figure i can probably steal some chips from him" [5 minutes later] "so im all in with 46o
And I started blasting
seriously, what happened there? he's playing some pretty decent poker until that point and then... all in 46o? 46o??? fuck me dude
he even said "folding this at some frequency" yeah I'd hope that frequency is 100%
@@spreen_co lmfao no joke youre never not folding 46o to pressure unless its a pure bluff
@@ericm1839 I guess I just don't understand the play at all. at all. steal blinds with an all in?? but it seems like the table is loose enough that people would call and you're in worse shape every time
Absolutely love the humor, the editing, the theatrics, and really all the work that was put into this video. I have no choice but to subscribe. Well played.
really appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Agree completely. Earned my sub.
That's weird because I was just about to comment saying how much I hate the humor, editing etc. This guy has a good narrating voice, has good poker commentary, but sucks at jokes. At he's the type of person, I think, who sincerely believes they are funny. Those are courtesy laughs my friend. I think you have a lot of good things going for you but you need to drop the attempts at humor or have someone else write your jokes. The jokes which are poker specific are ok, but anything extra is really bad.
I was laughing my ass off so hard on that Titanic reference freezing poker room!
@@Will_Moffett I see you're a humor expert, I happen to be a brain expert, so I can confidently say there's something wrong with yours
The dog running with the A made me laugh my ass off 😂
😂 was so perfect
The dog is the star for real. haha
Same, came for writing that commenz, but then i saw yours already haha
Same!
💩 pile of shit was good too
Love the editing. Adds some much needed flavor to many poker vlogs
Yeah, most vlogs are too homogeneous.
I have to agree 😅
I laughed so often during this video.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS LARRY
The part about the dog winning was the best. It cured my depression! Thanks 4 Bet Blind. I'm saying that despite this name being fairly incredulous. I'm not sure about 4 betting every big blind. Um. No. LOL
I used to be an avid poker player back in the day around the late 2000's. Since then I've probably played 10 times between then and now. A week ago, I found your channel and you sucked me back into it. I played today and quadrupled my buy in, thanks in part to some of the things I learned from your playing. See, back in the olden days, I didn't have youtube channels to watch lol. It was all book reading
So you have $8 at 2 NL ?
@@MrAgmoore pretty much lol
Keep the run good going, and welcome back!
Dude, this is my first time seeing your videos, and 18 minutes and 24 seconds in, I can honestly say I LOVE your content already. I'm a movie/pop culture fanatic and your references are superior. I've also been on a downswing ALL month, so I'm using the next two weeks to breath in and out and watch videos instead of playing. I'm excited to see what the rest of your page has to offer. Again, amazing stuff.
Great video it’s rare I watch a whole poker vlog (only because I am bored of of my own HHS but this was great and I laughed a few times and felt the tournament sweat
thanks man, really appreciate it
I love that you still are a complete degen after having success with sponsorships and having some awesome cashes yourself. Im working my way through you entire vlog for the third time currently. Best of luck
First time seeing this channel and I absolutely loved the content. The decision making was iffy on several hands, but the narration and humor were perfect! Earned my thumbs up and my subscription.
That all in with 4 6 off was pure comedy
Never let em know your next move
an investment hoping that nobody who covers is calling, surely :clueless:
Hey there will, quick observation/note from a hand. Being aggro with the 64o is the correct play, but I prefer opening to 2.5-3 BB in that position as a lot of people are not jamming at the correct frequencies there. So if you wanted to raise fold hands like that, you could. And if they flat call, because of stack depths and positions you can often play extremely exploitably post where small bets c-bets just end up printing if they whiff.
totally agree, a raise/c-bet would be super profitable. I think a jam makes money but lots of options are more profitable
Ok so I get wanting to reduce risk/variance by chopping at the end… but doesn’t part of you feel like you want to go for the win? Playing all that time just to essentially give the win to the guy leading… doesn’t sit right with me personally
@@maxhay9911 what’s the time stamp? Been some months and don’t feel like rewatching the entire video to find it
@@burneraccount6130 26:05. The decision to not compete for first and agree to split the winnings.
@@maxhay9911he explains this
I really like the way you narrate. Very natural and listenable. Keep up the work !
hilarious content, thanks for the entertainment! I'm usually not that interested in poker content, but your editing, jokes and story telling make this into something much bigger than just poker gameplay
Great vid! Comments. 1. I’d have shoved with 46s, but not off. Not sure if I’ve overvaluing being suited. 2. I think your AQ all in was a no brainer. I’d guess it’s probably close vs. a regular raise, but so much easier to play the way you do it. 3. Like all your plays except the 67 call, but being too tired to decide is very understandable, and it’s probably close, especially given what he actually shoved (maybe an easy call, actually,in this case).
Great content! I think most people greatly underestimate 1. The importance of being the one going all-in vs calling. 2. The importance of folding. The second is probably the most counterintuitive, since in cash games, folding doesn’t make you money, whereas in tournaments it does.
Loved the mental gymnastics to justify why calling a 750k all in preflop with A3 immediately after doubling up another opponent isn’t a tilt call.
Maybe recency bias?
Sometimes you gotta get home by 9pm.
The math checked out at least, which is poker is if you want to be consistent.
how is that mental gymnastics? A3s does have about 1/3 equity vs villains shoving range.
Or going all in with 4 6 preflop 💀
How tf do you only have 15k subs, this is one of the rare moments a yt video makes me genuinly laugh my ass off. With this quality content you should at least be at some 100ks. Keep posting you just made poker 10x funnier for me. This is like the cool teacher who makes the lessons fun ❤️
He's 40K+ subs now. 300% increase is pretty good in 6 months.
Dude, i dont even play poker and this was extremely entertaining, you sound a lot like casually explained, and im all for it, keep it up!
Cold room, crazy blind structure...if they start serving lukewarm coffee I'd say they are trying to get rid of you so they can open some cash tables. LOL
Video analysis:

Subbed, sir.
You might be my new fave poker channel. Love the movie edits and references. Good job!
the basic gist is you care about every hand in tournment format, where as you only care about hand you are in in cash games. love the nes boss music.
AQ off shove was a great move. Even if you would have lost against KK. The preflop all in is the best thing to do to protect your hand rare to run into Kings
Is it really all that rare to run into an underpair raising preflop
It's beyond standard.
@@sylthaya7571an under pair?
@@sylthaya7571
No it's not. I'm no tournament player and I'm lazy to do the maths but intuitively AQo barely has more than a 50-60ish% chance of being the best hand at the table with that many players behind you. So a significant risk to bust, for a reward of 2.5bb that's welcome, but far from essential at that point. Maybe it's close though, depends precisely on payouts and stack sizes distribution..
But anyway I thought the whole video he was making correct observations, citing sound theory, but then not taking the appropriate action. Ran grear though, so that entitles to think he outplayed the (other) fish in that tournament, and get praise in the comments lol.
Mildly entertaining but very low value content.
I calculated that if 9 players still have to play after us the probability that nobody holds QQ+ / AK is 83,69%. Going AI is OK
I started watching you about a week ago. Great vlogs man. I used to live in Oregon and my girl and I loved playing at Final Table and Portland Meadows. Good luck out there!
Easily my favorite holdem' content creator, please keep these coming! You're funny and offer solid analysis. Entertaining and informative
I lived in OR from 2003 to 2010. I miss it so bad. I just listed my house and if they give me what I want for it (they may not) then I'll see ya soon! Great video. First one YT has recommended from you for me. Enjoyed it. Subbed.
Bro your so underrated, you explain and teach so well and while its also humorous and entertaining.👍🏼
The suspense in this video was incredible. Felt like I was sitting at the table with you! Fantastic work man. Keep it up.
I've been waiting bro wtf 😂
What took you so long?
You have one of the best and entertaining P. Vlog so far and I learn from it. Why did you do this😭😭
Feel guilty!!! Please
Hell yeah. Great video and great playing. This channel is the perfect mix of realistic strategy and offbeat humor. Smashed that subscribe button.
Really enjoyed your sense of humor! Not just another boring poker video!
I love your videos!!! Im a casino dealer and it’s very interesting to see what’s going on inside the minds of poker players!!! Keep the good work!!!!😘😘😘
Congrats on nice payout and winnings.
Chopping works both ways.
Im usually down to chop lot of times.
Ive chopped as a chip leader.
Ive chopped as a shortstack.
At the end, all comes out to same thing.
I love tournaments over cash games.
But both have pros and cons.
Tournaments arent 24/7. Cash games are.
Tournaments can pay big while cash games can only achieve tournament winners' payout if they run superhot throughout entire session.
Tournaments require better pre flop hand selection while cash games require better post flop plays.
Tournaments have lot more variance than cash games due to lack of room to play postflop due to increased blinds unless two chip leaders are battling with deep stack.
Tournament strategies change based on blinds while cash games stay same at all times.
Except for major events like wsop, wpt, most tournaments, especially local daily or weekly tournaments, they allow u to chop.
Best to chop when blinds get stupid high because its a crap shoot. Even Ivey, Negreanu, Hellmuth, dont have edge over you at that stage. You wont have edge over me at this stage. So best is to chop for that reason.
Best of luck in your future games!!!!!
Thank you for the breakdown and approaches on different stages of the tournament.
Great pointers, writing it down. Thank you.
So weird that this vid popped up and I just had the same situation… AQo utg and I just entered instead of shoving…small blind ripped all in with QJs and binked the jack on the river
My homie at the final table said I should have jammed and I agree so I love the play
5:20 bit confused on how this is the nut flush draw. Wouldn't someone with the 5 and 7 of clubs have a better hand? (unless I misunderstood the term nuts.)
Pretty sure it's cuz another player (with 1 club) can't beat his Ace, so if 4 clubs show on the table. He wins the hand
Yes, 57cc would be the nuts on that board but he said nut flush draw, meaning the best available flush, not straight flush (57cc would be a straight flush)
The comedy in your videos combined with the shenanigans going on at your table have made this certainly the funniest poker video I’ve ever watched
The best channel on youtube is finally back 🙌
Absolutely amazing video. Great humor and storytelling. It's a breath of fresh air compared to other poker vlogs. Keep it up!
Congrats on the deep run! Another fire vlog!
thanks man 🙏🏼
Great explanations on hands my man ....all your plays up until your 46 all in punt altho thsts probly near the bottom of hands he will call with so tough luck but personally I think would of waited for a better spot than the 46 with stack u had anyways all that said I respect yoir play man u earned my sub
actually enjoyed watching this tournament run, great editing!
ITS AIRBUD ITS AIRBUD
How did I just find your channel, it's hilarious. This is too fun, thanks for the great content.
At 10:42 why tf are you going all in for no reason but to get him to fold, just have him take your blind see a missed flop and get onto the next hand, dumb move
Good job on this content.. really helpful and informative, and with a couple of secret tips. First, don’t mess around with your chips , going all in with crap. And second, even if you fail in certain spots, keep
Playing your game!!
Not long ago there was plexiglass between us. Now we’re sharing blankets. 😂
Your videos are great, I can't believe this is the last one in half a year. Your videos are very entertaining and yet educational to new players.
That Q-7 all in was absolutely not blind, you can literally see him look at his cards before he does it lmaoooo
That player is an absolute poker degen in all directions
Bro litterally perfect mix of funny/educational.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE!
what a GREAT vlog!!!
When you made the titanic joke I had to subscribe. That was some good humor haha
This one's a masterpiece
I really enjoyed watching you go through the stages of a small tournament. Tournaments require a different skill set than cash games. While I believe cash games require a great deal of skill to master it’s not for the same reasons most people think. The only thing I didn’t like was the All In with AQ off suit after table up but I understand the play.
i cannot believe you made a final table after watching your first 5 minutes of play
So far, this is by far a damn far far entertaining poker vlog video! Really keep up the good work! and really good knowledge of using clip cut outs to really make this more entertaining!... my mistake is not playing tighter when evern i hit ITM, but then again, entering into day-2 or day-3 of a tournament, you're probably drained pretty much without thinking clearly.
The fuckin blankets dude omg 😂
That was the most exciting small stakes commentary I’ve ever paid attention to. Thanks buddy.
30 minute video.
Live tournaments is the softest form of poker anywhere.
The only thing against live tournaments is the massive rake (seriously seen some casinos charge 50% rake) and the massive time it takes.
I saw a couple of your videos and they were pretty darn good. 30 seconds into this one and I'm subscribed, looking forward to going back and watching it all!
Tournaments will NEVER be better than cash games. Too much luck involved. Real steady money is in cash games.
Pretty great job with this vlog, man! Super funny and excellent educational value
So yall just gonna ignore him saying he started this tournament with 400k lol
Lol I was thinking the same thing 😅
400k in chips. Not actual money.
i love your editing and all the funny reference clips. very entertaining to watch.
I don’t know shit about poker but your videos are seriously entertaining and you keep it simple enough for non players to understand. Nice work man!
If you're ever in the central coast California area, drop by the Oceanview casino. A lot of action in our tournaments, much like what you experienced in Eugene. Similar prize pools, too.
I appreciate how funny some of these cut scenes are like that Legends of the Hidden Temple one. Very clever.
Most entertaining, easy to watch poker video I've ever seen. Love tournaments. You always get someone who plays any 2 cards getting all the chips even if they end up losing them. There is nothing better than seeing someone who let's everyone know how they're probably one of the best players in the tournament, Get taken down by someone who's gone all in with 4 8 off suit because it's the number on the door of where he lives.
This is the best poker channel I’ve found so far, really like your commentary and style. Like how you explain concepts too
I just subscribed to your channel. There is something very relatable and cool about how you share your experiences. Thanks, man.
Best poker video I've seen... The info, the comedy, the crazy rips ggs! you earned a subscriber easy money! nice win!
This is one of the more entertaining vlog. Commenting the exact thing every player would think in those fun Spots
🤣 man that blanket situation is hilarious 😆
Looked like a sewing circle playing bridge
hahahaha... been watching poker for the first time. This vid got recommended to me and it tripped my head to see my local poker club on TH-cam! Maybe I'll meet you at the table if I figure out enough how to play. Good play.
Love your commentary! I also miss the great matches with Tom and Negranu
Great video. I've only made final table twice, and the one time it was a heads up chop nearly 50/50. Still wishing that could happen again
Discovered your channel yesterday and I have thoroughly enjoyed every video. Your commentary cracks me up
probably the most entertaining, informative and well-made poker video I have seen
This was a very entertaining video with the commentary and editing!
First time seeing one of your videos. I love your style of humor mixed with real hand analysis. Great vid mate
This was my first time watching your vlog. I have to say I really enjoyed it. The commenatry was quite funny and matched my sense of humor
Loved the edit of the dog running with an ace! 😂
Dude, that dog Ace clip almost killed me. Catching my breath. Love it.
Great story telling best channel I have found in awhile
Great stuff man, enjoy your videos.
The title drew me in, then your table gameplay, talk n humor , nice one 🤩 now a new UK subscriber 😎
AND there was also - back then - the Jamie Gold category field as well.
You’re intro got me, I called your all in! Watched the whole video! Nice job!
You deserve more subscribers dude, easily one of the funniest poker guys on TH-cam. Good luck to you man 🍀
nah I started crying laughing at the airbud references. You are so funny and Im so glad I found your channel
What a great video, loved the movie refrences. I think you get the most props for the Big Lebowski one
Brother in Christ- these video edits are gold. A1 entertainment. Keep em coming
Im learning how to play 6-4 not only bc of sentimental value....but also the big value of hitting those straights (IN POSITION)
Recently played my first tournament and first time playing poker for money. got 4th with €600 in profit, felt great. Now taking a few month break to not get addicted haha. Good to find a great poker channel to spend the time with.
You won a sub dude, your commentary, editing and skills are neat, keep it going
First time seeing one of your videos. Love the commentary. Very colorful and entertaining. Thanks for the vid!
Bro your vibes and jokes are off the chain. Keep on keeping on my man!
I have literally ZERO idea what poker is/how it works. But I was entertained all the way through. Nice video
I have no idea why poker has forced itself into my youtube recommendations, but god I enjoy it
perhaps balatro was the reason?
This is great content. Your humor had me rolling. Keep on grinding, my friend.
This is solid production! Funny, on the edge, and knowledge!
dude you're super funny! haha, love the airbud and Nathan 4 you references. i was dying
