Being able to take the lows with the highs is what separates pros from rec players. Good on you, Brad!
I think the problem for me as a rec player is when you start with a downswing and are immediately down a good chunk of money it’s hard to keep sitting there risking more
@@Ballen81587 I guess it would depend on the table for me. Are you getting out played or cards just not falling your way?
I do agree with the downswing comment.
That's why I don't play stakes like Brad. 1. I'm not a pro or Rec
2. I'm lucky casual 😛.
W only a $5 +.50 bovada tourney 1st
My own knowledge of the game has improved immensely, thanks to you. Your analysis does not, mostly, seem to vary or depend on the stakes you play, and that's the main reason I keep coming back. I'd watch you play online 0.25/.50, and that's saying something. Keep crushing, whatever stakes you choose!
Well said my man
I'm a recovering gambling addict (hold 'em), and I really appreciate your videos. They help me stay focused and not dive back into despair, while also enjoying the nuances of the actual game.
stay strong mate
@Phuk TH-cam gambling is when u bet money on chance. Winning consistently in poker or making it your career is highly unlikely.
how the fuck are you a hold em addict?! im a winning player, regulary win but sometimes its so boring after so many hands, how are you an addict? you shove allin with 92 for the laughs? i really dont understand and im not trolling....you dont try to win, you go allin for the thrill?! LOL please explain this!
@@tiagomota4734 research gambling addiction and get back to me. I'm not here to educate you about me or my challenges. Information from reputable sources would serve you well.
@@smellsuperb1 man i ubderstand rulette and those things but poker!? I cannot imagine how would that manifest...i play poker daily...done it for years!sometimes in to lazy to play...its a monetary thing....i want you to tell me how would this manifest..if youre kind enough
dude, the format is so simple but I love it, no pissy "WHATS UP TH-cam!" type stuff, just straight poker, good stuff brother, subbed up
Your honesty makes your videos extremely instructive. To hear your reasoning, and then see how it worked out, along with your candid opinion is the best instruction I've had, maybe ever. Good job Brad. Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for this video not sure if I wanted to watch. I’m glad I did.
Playing well and deciding to lower the stakes after a big loss is a sign of player maturity which many lack.
Seeing you grow as a player makes me extremely happy and, in some weird way, proud of you.
GG
BRM = winning baby!
Shoutout honestly to people who respect what you’re doing with the vlogs and show for the content. It’s so dang interesting
HUGE comeback! Great to see you be honest with us in the hard moments of a loss like that. Glad you made a quick recovery!
Serious question: If filming the big games is a distraction, can't you re-create with still shots like the last part of this vlog? Your narration is strong enough to carry it through.
To do so he would still need the detailed notes, I'd bet the notes are more onerous than turning on the camera.
Notes are 100% what takes his mind off of playing for sure. Camera work ain’t nothin
If he isn't filming then you aren't going to have players show their cards when he folds
Yeah it's the note taking after filming that's more of a distraction and just feeling a little extra pressure. I really enjoy capturing sessions on video for the most part but sometimes it's nice to have a few less things to think about, especially after a big loss or in the midst of a downswing.
@@BradOwenPoker Do you take notes mid session? Or do you re-watch the footage and then can remember player's stack sizes from memory?
Love how you handled the loss & bounced back. We can all learn from that even at lower stakes 👏🏻👍🏻🔥
First, Brad, it's entertaining watching your progress. I'm reminded of some stories Dnegs tells about his early days, where he kept going broke, learning, and going back, gradually playing higher stakes, and learning from it. Every time you step up, whether it's cards, sports, music, or whatever, you find out what you're made of, and how much you want to run with the big dogs.
Another great video Brad. I love the growth mindset. Taking a loss with grace and not losing your cool, staying focused on the fundamentals, solid advice in poker and life in general.
Just made a coffee and a packet of custard creams openes and I get a brad notification! Heaven!!
You made a packet of custard creams?
Bet a bourbon out. Go hell for LEATHER
@@norgepalm7315 opened the packet myself and everything!
Pretty sad life you have
@@Sean663 I guarantee you have a sad life if you're trying to get a rise out of him and making this comment
Rough start, good recovery. Everyone hits those tough spots and you did well to get back on track.
Thanks dude
I just want to say that while high stakes does make for good content I think we all love your videos regardless of what stakes you play. Anyway, love your videos happy holidays!
Thanks for the honesty and the inspiration, as always Brad. I went on a pretty good tear lately in 2/5 live and some online money finishes in pretty decent fields of players and a lot of that was due to you helping me rekindle some of the fire I had lost due to a long cold spell. I'm trending upward with your help and I've noticed you and I kind of approach the game in the same way, our inner monologue is very similar based on your comments on a per-hand basis in the vlog. Keep that run good going, catch you next week!
The difference in your attitude/emotions after the loss in this video compared to your losses in older videos is very clear. It’s nice watching you grow as a professional player. Well done
Really enjoyed this Vlog...awesome story telling as well. Has a loss, takes some time to recover, and comes back stronger. This was great.
Awesome stuff Brad, love to see you refocus yourself to recoup that big loss, shows amazing heart and the continuing growth of a great player! Keep it going!!
There is nothing wrong with dropping stakes after a big loss. More people need to do that. Nice to see you bounced back - and I would watch you play $1/$2 , it doesn't need to be $10/$20
all the time. If you can crush $2/$5 for a better winrate, that's what you should play. Also, this is what you do for a living, if filming is a distraction, then don't.
I would watch this channel at any stakes as well. Brad doesn't share his YT earnings - and I don't expect him to. But his income is absolutely a combination of both playing/filming and hopefully a decent amount from merch.
If you're reading down this far Brad, keep up the hustle, another great vid.
Thanks, my win rate has actually been much better in high stakes this year than 2/5, even with the $10k loss, although small sample sizes at both stakes. The filming usually doesn't affect things much, and I enjoy it, but sometimes it's nice to take a break from it.
Agreed. I love hand and strategy analysis so I'm happy to listen to penny stakes if the game talk is interesting.
@@NINJED1 May want to look at the dates of the videos from your favorites to see who copied who...
Ive watched all your videos now 4 times all the way through and im always excited when you put out new content. I just feel like your videos are simply the best we have out there right now. You should feel good doing this service to the poker community. Also the longer the video the better! Cheers from British Columbia Canada.
I've heard and read many vloggers talk about taking shots at higher stakes and dropping back down after big losses or some bad runs. Good to see you doing it too
Brutal session. Great recovery, great video and love the honesty! Keep it up!
Love from the UK Brad 💙 Love how you keep it all the way 100 open and honest !!! Keep it up bro always love watching your journey 💪
Thanks Brad for showing both the losses and wins. Some vloggers just focus on the wins. Yes, those are fun, but it is nice to see the other side of the coin. Keep up the good work.
big or small stakes I think we all just want to see you play and run good. good job on the comeback!
Good job Brad, out of all the poker blogs I sure do enjoy yours the most!
Really impressive video in every way Brad! Your mindset has clearly gotten a lot stronger over the past few years.
Perfect timing mid day lunchtime and brads poker blog! Gotta love it!
Literally same
Samee
Congratulations on your biggest loss. I knew you’d recover, didn’t think it would happen less than two weeks later. Kudos keep vlogn’
I kept checking your channel for the most recenet video, and this one was definitely worth the wait. Well done Brad, super impressive! Your discipline is inspiring.
The composure with which you take this loss versus your hands shaking as you took your chips to the table just a few months ago shows your growth and development. You're definitely on the right track, keep pushing, better things are ahead. Wish you the best.
A great philosopher once said "Don't try to make recreational players fold top pair".
“Hopefully im gonna have a $100,000 loss” haha ur the man brad
I somehow randomly stumbled upon one of these videos. Now I can't stop powering through them. Great content Brad! Im now a subscriber and very much look forward to following your success! Good Luck on the tables! And congrats on all the success you have seen thus far! You deserve it!
Just stumbled upon your channel. Refreshing. You've got the right temperament and I admire your self-analysis and authenticity.
If the ecosystem has altered significantly from “pre” Euro travel restrictions to “post”…. Those “softer” games at $5/10+ may be more and more of a thing of the past.
The skill edge (whatever that may be on avg) may begin to shrivel up a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if that didn’t start to force a lot of people down in limits. I suspect that game selection will be more important than ever from here on out.
Brad “ Highest Stakes I’ve Ever Played” Owen back at it again 💀
what a rolercoaster of a video, Im happy for ya man, been following your channel for a while, and its very entertaining. Thank you!
Great video, I really like the sense of transparency an honesty of both results, emotions and mindsets !
Moral of the story: Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.
I personally enjoy watching $2/$5 games Brad! As a regular $1/$2 player who’s never played in $2/$5 it’s nice seeing clips of games in my bank role range.
I also play 1-2. James splitsuit (the poker bank) just started doing 1-2 vlogs. Ur right nice to see Ur own stakes
So impressive to see such a strong return so quickly! You keep performing, vlog or no vlog - I'll be here to listen/watch what happens!
You’re seriously my motivation man, ive been learning so much watching your videos and doing way better !!
That's awesome, keep it up. Good luck to you.
Yea I’d like to see haters like Tuchman report on this epic comeback, but that wouldn’t support his narrative 😂 great job brad, and I too take days off after a loss
Losing 20% of all the money you made from the previous year in a matter of five hours is brutal. With that said, to buy into a game for 1/3 of your profits from an entire year is flat out reckless. The hand where $2,500 is lost needlessly was a mistake, obviously, but shouldn't tilt you unless you're playing too high of stakes. The play that followed for the duration of the session could certainly be attributed to tilt. Important to recognize when that comes up and take a walk or quit for the day. When the table you're at starts regularly posting multiple straddles, its time to drop the ego, get up, and find a game better suited for your bankroll. Anyone that plays bigger than 2/5 knows the secret is to keep increasing the stakes through mandatory straddles and/or antes until your opponents become uncomfortable. You might think well I'm buying in with 500 bbs so no worries. Then, with a couple of slight alterations, your 500bb becomes the equivalent of 60bb
A lot of what you're saying are points based on assumptions of how much money you think I've won or how much you think I have. Poker isn't even my main source of income anymore so talking about losing 20% of what I made in the previous year isn't close to accurate. Implying that I've lost 1/3 of my income for the year is nonsensical and I wouldn't put myself in that kind of situation. Also, bankroll a term for people who are almost solely dependent on poker winnings in order to pay for their bills. I don't fit into that category. I can lose and have ways other than playing poker to get it back. I'm going to sit in games and try to make the best plays I can based on the information I have at the time. Sometimes they won't work out. It's very easy to focus on those in an attempt to make someone look bad, which appears to be your goal. My hourly is actually 5 times higher in high stakes games than it is in 2/5 this year. I'm going to continue taking shots when the games look good and even occasionally when that's not the case in order to improve. I understand how straddles work...
The information provided in your analysis is nothing short of amazing! Thank you.
I've really enjoyed getting to see this side. I know you often say that IF you were to have a really bad game you'd tell us, and you did! You handled it really well.
Finally got a chance to watch the video, and I just wanted to say a few things. Good for you for going back out with confidence and setting a goal and achieving it. Always love watching the content!
Highly inspiring session(s). Thanks for bringing us along on your journey 🤘🤘
Good on ya for sticking with it brad !!!! Love the vlogs !!!
Great stuff Brad, love to see that you didn't chase and went back in with a good mindset and were able to recoup it.
This vlog is why I subscribe and consider you one of the best poker personalities on TH-cam!
Honestly, unreal that you bounced back so strong! I was so happy that you took a few days off and then went after it. Very well done!
Thanks Brad for talking through your month and results. An honest look at the sessions
I absolutely loved this video. It's amazing how I have the same bad reasoning and bad excuses when I tilt. I'm happy that you got off tilt quickly.
I love that you show this video Brad, it hurts but that is the way of poker and love that you show it all at your vblog, keep the videos coming :)
Love the 2/5 videos youve helped my game tremendously bro
Hey Brad, just wanted to say I really like your vids. I wasn't super into poker before (randomly stumbled across your channel) but I really like the logic behind the game now and how you explain your thinking style. Subbed!
Thank you for all of your content Brad! I learned what poker ranges were by watching your channel! I initially learned how to play on Pokerist app so I obviously know jack squat haha. Your vids have taught me how to THINK like a poker player, rather than me just arbitrarily deciding that it is just simply unlikely that the other person has the EXACT hand that I am afraid will beat me in that moment.
Please don't ever let up because your influence has reached all kinds of places! See you at Hustler in CA!
Great vlog mate. love your attitude and its great watching you improve your game
Love your videos, please continue to keep posting. I love your analysis of the game, and your video editing is easy to watch.
Great video brad I would watch any stake games you play just for your commentary and insight on the game keep it up!
Really like how you show your ups and downs. Glad to see you bounce back!
It’s fun to see how you enjoy the grind. Was clear for the back half of the episode.
Literally binge watched you yesterday and now a new up load 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve started to like the videos before I even watch them now. Well done Brad, your mindset is fantastic
Love the honesty and commitment. That was an excellent response to the big loss. Well done.
Brad you are absolutely cracked! What a way to bounce back. I just recently had my worst losing session ever as well so this is motivational to get back at it and just keep playing good poker. Congrats on the bounce back!
Good luck getting it back Dylan
Hey Brad killer sessions! Hey man we’re always here for You!! keep ur head up. Keep fighting that good fight brotha!
Good for you on the comeback!!! Keep up the great poker and vlogs.
I enjoyed this Vlog man - love to see something different and it sure was raw! Nice comeback 🤙🏽
DUDE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MOVIE!
What a roller coaster man. It's really cool to be a part of your journey, watching you rise through the ranks. I wanna see you on some tv final tables!
Love you brad, best poker vlog ever great mix of comedy, explaining and motivation! I hope to play you sometime! Good luck man
We love your 2-5 games or 5-10 games. I get taking time off from vlogging and recording to focus on recouping your losses. Keep it up Brad.
What a great vlog. When I’ve had those big ass kicker losses where it just seems like nothing I do works, taking time to think through spots is really helpful. Similarly I lost 5K at this soft NLH private game on Bros last week, but just said I was going to ABC PLO 1/2 for a while. Within 3 days I had it all back. No feeling like grinding 1k of online funds back to 9k
Love this channel I've been learning so much from it
Missed these videos the last couple weeks! Keep it up!
Congrats Brad! Very proud of your focus to recoup that hammering.!!
Nice feel good story Brad. Inspiring for sure. Keep rockin’ it man.
This was amazing. Good job brad. Your an inspiration
That smile at 0:19 was so contagious. You can tell you love you what you do! Crazy you can keep such a good poker face haha
Excellent vlog Brad, enjoyed it very much.
Way to go! It nice to see the ups and downs. Good job regrouping after the loss rather than tailspin and crash.
Throughly enjoy your blogs out of all the others!! Nice wins to get back up!!!
Your TH-cam channel is fantastic. The best part is the times when you lose. It is a part of poker that a lot of people have trouble dealing with. It has also helped me greatly. Keep up the great work.
I don't play poker--at least not for any stakes. I found your channel a few months ago while in a bit of a mood downswing, and I've been hooked. What really keeps me coming back is how you manage the ups and downs of winning and losing, which in a way reminds me of how to manage my mood when things aren't going my way. This video is a prime example of that. Bravo to you, Brad, for keeping your cool--even getting motivated by the big loss to do even better later on. I think there's a major lesson to maintain that kind of growth mindset in anything, not just poker.
Good job brad proud of you. Poker is like chess to me, and I was never good at chess. It takes strategy and decision skills, thank you for making me want to dive back into harder mindset 🙏 merry Christmas bro🎄
get in there lad, so pleased for you mate. Best video yet
Another great blog Brad, love the content! Looking forward to your blogs from November play 😎
The "from the heart"monologue made your situation real and relatable. As always thanks for the content and keep moving forward
I love it how everz title just gets better and better but its never a clickbait!❤️
Absolutely wild episode. Felt like watching rocky 1 and 2 back to back. Can't wait for more vlogs.
Love the realistic insight you provide in being a professional poker player. It’s not all good runs, stacks of chips and ESPN tables. Poker is a tough mental game and very easy to get discouraged. Great job keeping your mental game sharp!
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now and enjoy them greatly. Not only are they informational as a player stand point but it also gives a lot of insight as to how hard it is to maintain this kind of career. But I would really like to know where I can learn the ranges of other players hand relative to what position I am on the table. If u can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. But I got to say keep up the good content and I’m proud of u for not giving up on your poker career and sticking it through to make a massive comeback. Much luv bro
Thanks Mike. I'll address most of this stuff in future episodes. Nick Petrangelo has a course coming out for Upswing that I'm a small part of. The course will be out in January and it's going to be, in my opinion, the best material available.
My view on the great comeback is that it shows how you have grown playing the high stakes. Great job Brad!
Brad, thank you for your transparency and showing videos of where your game needs to improve. The majority of people always show videos of their “winnings”… no one really shows the reality of true gambling…
You have gotten so much better at Poker since I first subbed to this channel years ago.
Played the $5-10 for the first time of my life and cant help but feel that these VLOG's have helped me get the confidence to do so. Got stuck 50% off rip in a sick cooler and clawed back to actually book a small win. Best of luck and keeping winning, buddy.
I just want my first local tournament and watching your videos for a week helped a lot! 👍👍
