Don’t quit 1/3 for the bank roll challenge!! Us low stakes guys get value watching how you navigate the low stakes games if you move up it becomes less relatable for a lot of us
The bank roll challenge is 1/2 and 1/3. This was episode 2. In episode 1, he explains he is trying to get to +$5000.00 just by playing 1/2 and 1/3.
Ethan : please don't take this video down
Also Ethan: the rake here is terrible
I can’t lie to you guys lol
@@RampagePoker Nick Vitucci the scammer that swindle millions of dollars from people in his real estate Seminars and Scumbag of Poker!!!!!!!
@@RampagePoker Also Ethan: GTOx guy please take your video down because my feelings were hurt. 😂🤕
Hahaha came here to say the same ...but in reality Encore doesn't want a poker room anymore that's why the rake is so high and it's closed so much.
@@tomsmith4475why would they want to close it?
I love this series so far bro. I appreciate you making the effort to connect with your fanbase
Loving the BRC as I’m still playing 1/3 games. Looking to learn a little something to improve my game. Thanks for putting this out for us lower stakes players.
As someone who only plays low stakes, I had never even thought about how rake really kills most of your profits specially in small pots. I'm going to start playing big pots in the 1-2 now.
The rake is the number one killer of profits at 1/2-1/3 games. You only start getting profitable at 2/5 and up.

@@Jooma008 lol fr, dudes mad in some UA-cam comments
The rake is nothing of you play in games with a whale punting 300 bucks a hand. Come to the brook in nh and you'll see insane profits
I truly appreciate the commentary... it lets me kno tht 1-3 games all over get multiple callers for those people flop bet sizes. Definitely helps me stay focus n off tilt
Awesome discussion on the rake. When I first started tabulating my online betting back in the day, I had a difficult time figuring out why I was short in my account based upon what I kept track of on my spreadsheet. I had forgotten the rake when building my formulas. Wild how much it affects someone like myself who is usually low money bettor. You didn't empty all the bank accounts at the table but it was an entertaining video for me. Thanks Ethan.
Appreciate the info on the importance of the rake and low limits.
Loving this series, following you for almost 3 years now, i can relate to this challenge and I'm picking up a lot, don't get me wrong loving big pot cash games like the next one but I think you hit a lot of viewers with the BRC. ❤️👍😁
as a person that probably won’t play above 1/3 for a long time (as i simply don’t have the money yet), this is awesome to watch. very helpful
I can't get over that $10 rake. In Vegas I stopped playing at the Venetian because they're up to $7, $10 is insane. Anyway great topic most people don't consider, and as a 1-3 player I enjoy seeing how you approach the game, even when the table is slow. We've all been there.
That rake is crazy. Was it always like that? I would pass on playing the lower limit games there. Thanks for the info.
They’ve continuously raised it since open, and cut the room hours since it re-opened since COVID. The NH rooms are a half hour away w/ better action
It wasn't like this before COVID, but the rake at 1/3 NL is pretty high at Encore so it's tough to be profitable in the long term. The action does make up for the high rake and the wait lists get like 100 people deep, even on the weekdays.
That "rake" more resembles a "shovel", and even at a full table, a game played for several hours equates to a serious drop in available bankrolls to try to win!

You a real one for going back down and sticking with this challenge....lol I know that's gotta be excruciating to stay disciplined. Love to see it, keep it up!
The rake at Holland Casino in the Netherlands at the 2/2 table is also €10. Oh men… Ethan.. I wish that this video was a little longer😂 I enjoy it so much thank you for the videos. Love from the Netherlands ❤
Great vid and appreciate you not holding back on the rake. With at least $300 coming off the table every hour it shows how significant the difference is when it's a time rake
I honestly hope you don't give up on the 1-2 so easily. I imagine, that on average , it is the most played Lower stake Hold'em. Not all of us have Thousands Ethan. Also I think A "Road to High Stakes," would be a great way to show more of your grinding. You got skills. And I appreciate your VLOGS.
$10 rake at 1/3 is insane.
4 casinos in Ohio. Rake on 1/(2-3) is 6-8 dollars but a lot are 12% not 10%. Pure rake is 5-6 on 50 plus 2 for promos
@@stephkent2736 I think mine is 10% up to 5
Hi Ethan, I enjoy watching your videos, and the last two working on a "challenge" attempt to build a bankroll of $5K or more at $1-$3 NL stakes is no exception. However, if your intent was to help newer players to build such a bankroll on limited funds, I'd propose starting this exercise with a reasonable "maximum" starting bankroll to better fit what others are likely to have available in total funds.
Realistically, I don't think a $500 buy-in here is what most players at this level are going to start with, not to mention a top-off of another $300 on the next hand. I guess my main point is newer players are likely to have a very limited starting bankroll and fear of busting out very quickly, and without a similar healthy reserve that you have earned and built to work with.
From a realistic point of view, from someone who has played this level a lot in the past, I'd venture a guess that folks playing these levels do so from necessity. They aren't likely to risk what could very well be their ENTIRE starting bankroll of $500 on their first session starting buy-in.
So even if their entire bankroll is $1,000, they might come to the table with two buy-ins of $100 to $200 each,... and end their session if that gets lost. If their bankroll is just $500, risking only one session for a $100 buy-in is what likely happens. This strategy is more in keeping with reasonable "Money Management" planning.
Anyway, just my thoughts, since of course anyone could build a $5K bankroll with unlimited buy-ins available and get really lucky on a few sessions. But when your starting bankroll is truly limited (using the "goal" of a bankroll building to $5k to maybe as high as $10K, you pick the starting figure?), this puts some of the "fear of failure" into even your play that's on display as a teaching exercise. 🙂
Cheers,
Joe T
He stated making $5k at 1/3 in 30 days. He didn't state building a BR from only several buy-ins, so this isn't for beginners. It's for people sufficiently rolled for 1/3.
@@theejayzeeable Hi Jay, I took it differently because I think Ethan's early statement in the first vlog (link below) in this challenge bears that out. Listen to the first minute or so where he clearly states:
Ethan's quote: "... it is a bankroll challenge. Going to be playing the $1-$2 and $1-$3 stakes trying to win up $5,000 and I want to do this because honestly last year when I first started the channel I actually did this myself. I went from $0 to $10,000 at the $1-$3 stakes because at that time personally I really needed a bankroll and I thought this would be a really fun challenge and video series over the next month. Hopefully, I can complete it starting at the $1-$2 and $1-$3 stakes to win $5,000 ..." (/quote)
ua-cam.com/video/yR1lJiqKNtc/v-deo.html
His rising bankroll has truly been extraordinary during this short time period, and his aggressiveness is a big part of that IMO. But also note his stating "at that time I really needed a bankroll" says a lot that he was in the same position of many starting out and needing to work UP a decent $$$ bankroll. That's why I think this series may have been meant more for the young startups at these stakes. YMMV 🙂
I was playing a $500 max buy in with $3K to my name in the beginning of my channel, I topped up the same way betting on myself and knew that buying for anything less than the maximum meant I was losing value
@@RampagePoker That's an impressive ride over the short time you've been playing, especially since the $1-3 games I've played in rarely had folks calling even a $50 bet. The action on these tables, so far, was more like the $2-5 games I've played where the max buy-in was also just $500. To get that kind of action at $1-3 stakes was exceptional.
Best rake in town for players is at The Orleans (for small games). However that was last year. I’m not sure it’s that now.
South Point used to be reasonable. I haven't been in a couple of years.
Some of the best if not the best poker is in the poker clubs in Texas which I believe a lot of players know this considering we pay 12 and hour to play most places. I agree the casinos kill you in the small cash games with the rake size. Anyway I play in Houston Texas at spades, prime social, Texas card house and legends mostly. Spades poker house is hot right now very good action and you can find a game there almost all hours of the day and night. I have been following you since the beginning and I’ve seen every vlog you ever put out I appreciate all your hard work and content you put out sir. May you run good in all your sessions peace out!
At $1-$2 and/or $3, rake matters. Plus stacks are short for most players. Hard to call even open ended, or a nut flush draw against small stacks, and players savvy enough to make you pay to draw. And yet, you must occasionally to balance your range. I usually try to do so in multiway pots, as 2 or 3 potential payoffs mitigates small stacks.
At 1/3 -$300 is not breaking even… it’s being stuck a buy in!
Ethan - you're doing the community a huge favor by hammering on the rake situation in low stakes games. As your comments indicate, people just aren't aware of how costly the rake tax is. You want to play a small number of massive pots, as you said.
P.S. the second lesson, which you forgot to heed is that 4bets in $3 BB games are AK on alternate Thursdays, and KK+ every other time. You were so funny, calling with TT then calling on the turn because "Maybe he has ace-high..." He did have ace-high, with an ace kicker. He was obviously terrified you had a king but my God man, this is not GarrettA you're up against. Fold, and he will *show* you the aces.
I love how consistent your posting is
Lying here just out of intensive care watching you really takes my mind off the 30 broken bones so I joined and ty Ethan
Jeeez, howd you break 30! bones?
@@mjriemen I was coming home from work 3 to 11 and stopped at a stop sine and was hit head on by of course a drunk driver. My shoulder 3 places sternum 6 ribs 4 vertebrae my ankle was in pieces my foot same my leg and knee cap.my right arm is good and my left leg
In Melbourne, Australia, there is a monopoly on poker. There is one casino and that is the only legal poker place. Takes 10% up to $15
that encore rake is something else tho. Welcome to taxachusetts! lol
It's a super luxury billion dollar place in an extremely expensive location with lots of fairly lousy, highly-paid recreational players with money to burn. You can't compare it to NH card rooms or even high-end tribal casinos like Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun in CT. Before the pandemic, I played a lot at all of the above places and a bit at many more places in NH, plus MGM Springfield. Encore was on my rotation, but was never my primary place to grind out profits. Those were Mohegan Sun in CT, and Chasers in NH. In the poker glory days, Foxwoods.
Rampage, what are your thoughts on the rake here? Curious to know, since you barely mentioned it.
he talked about it both at the beginning and at the end of the video. what more do you want him to say about it ??
@@VVeZoX 😂
loled sooo hard don t know why 😂😂
@@VVeZoX Look up the meaning of the word Sarcasm buddy
Good to see you back in town!
so cool to see you grew up near me after just discovering your channel a few weeks ago
Just ordered my luck box hoodie. So hype for it to come. Wishing you the best and love the advice planning on playing my first tourney in a few months and your videos have helped sooo much!
Tips are the easiest $ leak to address. Understanding that if you play 7 days a week as I do, every $25 in daily tips equals $9125 per year. $25 including tipping servers is extremely easy to reach especially when being pushed big pots. I was leaking in the $30k-40k annually at one point.
Seabrook NH rake is $1 for every $10 in the pit up to $50 so that is max of $5 but on top of that they also take out a $5 promo so I would it’s basically a $10 rake
Rake in Toronto, Canada - 10% up to $15....at almost all casinos. Niagara is the exception with a $7 half an hour session fee.
I’m glad u make video at the lower stake more relatable to your viewers, including me.
The best thing about this is wanting to do the same but you’re in Texas where arguably every poker vlogger talks about the field being super agro at all the stakes 😂
This Bankroll Challenge is the absolute nuts!!💯
what are the best rooms in Vegas for low stakes? Caesar's is so awful at a 300 max buy in 1/3, Resorts being able to buy in for 400 seems good, South Point allows 300 in the 1/2 game
Had no idea you were Boston local (I'm about 30 mins north), I've been dying to go do some playing and I'm ONLY low stakes so hey, maybe I'll get...well, I'd say lucky but you'll likely stack me so let's just say I hope I run into you as it'd still be fun :). Just started following you recently and love watching you play!
its hard to make money in 1-3 unless its a 1k buy in and plays like a 2-5.
Not that hard, I'm making 35 an hour at it but the rake in Atlantic city is only 5 plus 1. 10$ is way too high for sure but can still make like 20 to 30 n hour for sure.
Many years ago John Scarne said in his book a gambler can't beat a 5% rake. PLUS you gotta tip the dealer when winning.
I would've jammed so quick with a open ender 🤣 Reason why I could never play professionally . Love the break downs Rampage. Best of luck at the Hustler next week or see you in their chat!
It's not a bad jam , it's a fairly cheap open ender. Problem is he didn't have an over.
How many days are you playing at encore? What’s your schedule for local games over the next week? Just started watching your videos two weeks ago I would love to watch the bankroll build live! 🚀
yes sir! so excited for the everyday vlogs this month!
@rampage if ur ever in the encore area check out Boston Billiards in nashua NH. it is like an hour drive from encore but the rake there from my memory was very very low. that and its a gold mine of recreational players
Billards was the other place he was playing during covid. He knows of it.
How do you not bet pot when KK flops on the first hand? That flop confirms he likely has AA … he folds to a pot sized bet. I could be wrong but I don’t think so.
Please add $ amount of rake and tips to the overall stats. Would be super interesting to see, even if estimated
I was in the small blind at a track in Tampa FL and it folded to blinds so we agreed to chop. The house took my small blind so i decided I would never chop again there
I play at encore boston and i wish I met you! I watch all of your videos and really love them! Please let me know when you get to go again sometime soon so I could meet you in person!!!
I was just thinking about this for a home game. Thinking doing a .5, 1, 2 no limit max buyin 250, rebuy at 100 or
I love the encore in Everest mab their blackjack goes nutty
Was contemplating playing at Encore. Guess Foxwoods will do the trick
Glad ur doing this 1/3 challenge... interesting and informing
Ethan, what is the normal rake in 1/2 and 1/3 if this was high? Avid follower and very much enjoy your videos regardless of the stakes. Thx
In regards to the rake, Is that casino parked on a cruise ship?
Its good advice. Everyone starts low, so its relevent.
you should come one day in the bay area in San jose california at bay 101 or M8trix they have great game
Its always nice to go home. Good new series, I enjoy watching the low stakes grind.
taking this all in, please keep posting this content i need to IMPROVE at 1/2 no more punt all ins cos i wanna win big
A most excellent video!!
ENCORE!!!!!!!! Mass rep. love ur videos man keep up the great work and thank u for the great content by far my favorite poker vlogger. ive learned so much from you
Awesome video Ethan and that’s high a $10 rake that’s wild
Idk as a low stakes player idk if I would want to play in that kind of raked game but don’t get me wrong I love poker but if that’s the only game that’s fine
That was a nice video showing us where not to play poker, I've said this a million times out here, playing any games in a Massachusetts casino puts you at a big disadvantage, it sickens me how they use their license to basically steal your money, it's unfortunate the average person could care less what they do.
Rampage is just telling it how it is and at 1-3 rake cuts down on profits much more than other games.
I want to go play the tournament to but i dont knw wat the schedule is
Do you have to tip the dealers?
That rake is insane. I thought $6 was bad in California.
do they have only game in town with a ten dollar rake.hell i wouldn't play there. where i play is a 7 dollar rake but 2 is promos.
Awesome idea. Great advice.
I feel like you can do a random meetup game while you do your BRC challenge. Great content tho!
The rake has gotten out of hand at many card rooms, and it's mostly in order to fund ridiculous "bad beat" jackpots, which rec players think are fun, but which aspiring pros hate. I know several low-limits players who have quit their local scenes as a result of outrageous rakes. They had been able to grind out a steady profit, but can't or don't care to move up to higher stakes. Their hourly EV at the 1-3 tables with high rakes is so small now it's not worth playing.
How is 10 max a big rake ? How much are the raking at those high stakes games your playing
Which Vegas casinos has the best rakes at 1/3?
Never really thought about the rake at 1/2. How is 10% up to $5??
what's your starting bankrool for this? not zero obviously
YAAAS! getting my daily poker video fix in :>
The fee in tournaments online is why I don't have a winning sharkscope.....1800+ games and down just $580...I average -0.32 per tournament or sit n go...I know there's much worse charts lol
Rampage I just played at a room that had a 7$ (Canadian) rake every 30 minutes. Which felt fucking nuts to me to pay 14 an hour right off your stack. In your opinion, which form of rake is better?
A shame the Encore's hours and such are so horrible, used to enjoy the atmosphere. Glad to see the BRC in progress :)
The trick to becoming a profitable poker player is to always due your due diligence(Double D's) and the second tip is to always record your wins and not your losses, your hourly will be insane.
True I’ll try to do that moving forward, deleting all losses lol
This was the day i met you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥
Luck😁
Just wanted to ask about your thoughts on tipping. Thank you
Good bro when you remembered the beginning of your good poker career.
You can do it- Rob Schneider
yummy. gratz on that tournament win btw!
Played 2/5 on a casino with 10% rake at $15 max. Terrible rake cuts profits a lot in small hands
I can get use to this daily posting thing
At least you didn’t complain about the rake the whole video.
The rake at my casino’s $1-$2 game is 10% max $15 😑😑 I remember when it used to be $5 😢
Bad fold on the open ended straight at 7+ min mark
Sick run brudda
What is the normal rake at most casinos
Rake at 1/3 is no joke $10 rake is bananas!!! But you are a sun runner! woo! This session looks a bit more normal...
FIIIIRSSSTTTTTT HAHAHAHAHHAHA
Good to see u back in town. Next time I’ll meet u there
"I wanna play as tight as possible" I can't wait to see the J4 jam
So Rampage, iv'e recently seen you have been threatening the content creator from the channel "Finding Equilibrium" for a copyright claim. I have benn watching his content for a long time now & the videos he makes are very informative using deep dives into solvers to help explain why certain players come to their decisions. He mainly focues on top tier players as their knowledge of GTO playing style is vast. His breakdowns are an excellent study tool & have recieved countless plaudits from all corners of the poker landscape.
Your reaction to him using a clip or two from your vlogs is completely over the top. I believe him using a fraction of your content is a compliment to your ability and recent sucess at the higher stakes. You need to embrace the adulation, endorcement that he is giving u & not focus on the superfluous. In other words, wind your neck in Rampage & continue your climb to Poker stardom. Your a likable character.
Yes unfortunately the newly re-opened, much smaller, and now surrounded by freshly placed slot machines, Boston Encore poker room now offers the highest raked game in the country, thanks for getting the word out! If nothing else maybe their industry leading rake will keep most the Euro poker pros camped in FL and Texas to battle with Lex and Brad. Hope you run good while in town!
love the new series!
Now this is Reality TV for 1-3
Its why I play at Foxwoods instead. Encore is crazy.
