A year ago i remember Brad always seemed sad, downswings seem to have gotten to him.. now it’s a complete turnaround.. even on losing sessions you can tell he is enjoying the moment & just in a overall happy state of mind. 🙏👏🏻👍🏻
Poker can be brutal and I think it's important to convey the emotions you go through when playing/dealing with variance is part of your job. I kind of feel a responsibility to show young people who want to play for a living that it isn't always easy, or even always enjoyable.
To be fair, Brad has made such amazing videos that even if he loses, he's still making money. He has almost half a million subscribers, with videos that are over 15 minutes long, and consist of all original content. So even if he loses a thousand or two playing poker, he's still making a thousand or two on the video.
my dude at 2:17 is shaking like a leaf after that win. with Brad's commentary on it being his first $5-$5 game, I love that for him, seems like a moment he won't forget
Brad, I discovered you a few months ago. I'm profitable at 1/3 and 2/5 live, but I still learn so much from you. I'm a TAG and slowly I'm going to try to go a bit more LAG and you show me how. You're entertaining AF, that's why I've already watched about 80% of your videos. I hope you see this - I'm 1 dude, but I speak for many here when I say we truly appreciate you, your journey, your transparency, entertainment, relatability and education. And thanks for all you do for the game of poker. Thanks man...much love from Australia Alan
@@andrewmcvey7696 haha ya for sure, I play mature if I win I don’t scream lol, I live a good drive from Vegas so it would be a trip that I plan on losing lol
@@jaybuzz8958 I got all the faith in the world. That if you go to Ballys or Flamingo you will likely run the tables. I've taken several trips to Vegas. Only once have I done the classic "road trip" there. It was brutal, I live 1,989 miles away 😂
If it makes you feel any better, I flopped top set of jacks on the top board in a double board bomb pot two weeks ago, turned quads, and then got to showdown with the other guy showing a jack-high straight flush on that board. Pain
Y'all, the banter and jokes are on point. You're crushing the vlog game, Brad. It's been awesome to see the evolution of the channel; I can tell you're much more comfortable commentating. Do you think your friendship with Neeme and the MUGs have fostered that confidence? I don't know how you do it, meeting and getting to know so many people who show up to the MUGs. P.S. Please make it down to New Orleans at some point. Harrahs in in the heart of downtown and Biloxi is only an hour away.
I’ve been watching you forever man. You really are one of the most down to earth players. You are an excellent player and commentator but you stay humble. You deserve this win! 🥇 More comin!
Watching your videos finally built up enough confidence in me to play my first live game at the TCH in Austin. I bought in for $200 and out for $1500 in a 4 hour session. Saving it for a meetup! You’ll bounce back from this one, if I can do it you definitely can.
@@harshshah619 i've watched poker for about 10 years. I just don't play it because I don't have the patience needed to do decent :D Got quite of a gambling personality so poker is a nope ^^
My boyfriend and I discovered your channel over a year ago and we haven't missed a single video to date, always excited to see a new video! I hope we'll be able to play with you at least once 😁
You always check off all the boxes when you do a vlog Brad! Great poker content, quick witty humor, generosity, promote the casino, and the great connection you have with your viewers!!
Brad you gotta go play at WSOP, it will be the greatest set of VLOGS ever. You can vlog your day as well like daniel negranu. Huge sponsorship opportunities and networking while we get some fire content!
Very happy you will be coming back to Hustler. I was really looking forward to the meetup but despite being vaccinated, I caught Covid at the Foo Fighters show. I was under quarantine until that Sunday.
I going to steal your line about taking the boat to up-a-ton peninsula next game I play. You put together another funny and informative video again Brad. Thanks for making them.
Thanks for posting. I did see my fuzzy self in one of the table pans. You earned a few of my chips when you hit the king on the river on what I think was your second table. That hand made the vlog and I appreciate you showing it quickly so I could muck. Thanks for the round of champagne, looking forward to the next MUG at the Hustler.
Dude I'm in shock right now, I just came back from playing 1/2 at my favorite local Poker Room. I did very well just up until the last hand and I was stacked thank you for posting this! Similar to this I hung around with a few people whom I've met in the last couple days playing the tables there. At the end of a day of Thrills and wins followed by ultimate defeat, I feel like I wasted no time or money. The excitement of the big hands like the quad sevens I had as well as the laughs with a very friendly table. If poker wasn't involved I would pay good money to feel like that!
This is a really good example of why PLO double board bomb pots can be so profitable-even good players often call off their stack multi-way when they only have a shot at half the pot. Top set of 9’s can never be the nuts, and sure enough he was flipping against a wrap for only half the pot.
I won $1100 profit on my first ever holdem double board bomb pot...just super nutted on both board...got lucky and had a maniac stacking off into me. After a little while I realized real quick that the variance and risk to reward really isn't worth it. You're normally stacking off, just to chop. I stopped playing them.
@@alank642 see, I disagree that they aren’t worth it. They absolutely are, so long as there are players in the game who are willing to stack off with less than one board fully locked up.
@@AudreyJune so, i just have to make the nuts, with four completely random cards, on only _one_ of the boards? phew what a relief ;) jokes aside, I gotta agree with Alan on this one. Of course there are gonna be people willing to stack off with less than the nuts on one board, a full ring of players bombing 2-5 BBs each craters the SPR. sure, someone's gonna get a decent chance to stack the fish, but who gets that chance is a matter of pure luck since everyone is seeing the flop with random cards. once the fish is stacked, he's taking the easy money with him. if I sit down at a poker table it's to play poker, not gamble. if i wanted to gamble, i'd be playing any other game in the place.
Hey Brad, sorry to hear about your loss at Hustler. I used to live in L.A., and played at many of the card casinos there. If it's to any consolation, the Hustler was the toughest card casino I ever played at (with the possible exception being at Commerce). Had better luck at the Bicycle Club, and at Hollywood Park (I believe you did too). Additional note: The girls do have cute outfits at the Hustler. It's between there and Hawaiian Gardens for the cutest outfits in the area. ☺
Hey Brad, just wanted to say thanks again for plugging in my son and his fellow U.S. Navy brother. These guys are out there each and everyday giving it their all for you and I to enjoy life’s freedom. This small token of appreciation goes a long way in my eyes. For the little time they had to enjoy their weekend, they where blessed. Thanks Proud Navy Father Anthony Sr
Great video as always🤙🏼 tough break on dbp PLO. Awesome that you gave a shoutout to Fish Poker…he’s the hardest working vlogger here in LA and also the funniest.
Guy at 2:18 hands shaking and wipes the sweaty palms on the shorts before bringin in those sweet sweet chips. Love it. You can feel how much adrenaline is coursing through him.
That was me...I would have never takin the leap without Brad's vids. I was nervous as fuck. Ended up holding my own and realized I was not the worst player at the table by about 10 hands in. Won 2k that night
Check the turn on the set of Aces hand. You have the spade re-draw, and he’s loaded with flushes that got there. What’s your plan if he jams turn over your bet? You give him a chance to bluff a lot wider on river and lose less when he made his flush
2:17 god I have been there before... That hand shake as he rakes in a huge pot. Very first hand I ever played live was AA and I drilled the A on the flop for the nuts and we got it all in and I held. I raked in a pot of about 500 USD and I was shaking just like that!
Watching the poker vids, training the game all while listening to music that makes me sharp and able to achieve. I like Delta Parole, AFi, etc as music, what you guys listen to focus I am curious?
Dear Brad Owen or Andrew Neeme, Nationals is coming up for us regs from all over the country in 2 weeks maybe you guys can get a meet up game going in 10-16 Oct in Las Vegas?? I am sure lots of ppl would love to play with you guys.
You might not be running too good at the tables right now but your a cool guy and the channel is on 🔥 and you seem to be running well in life which is the main thing 👍
12:30 Don't get involved with one way hands in split pot games unless you are a virtual lock and also a heavy favorite to be the only winner your way. Stud 8 and Omaha 8 and PLO8 can be different because there is not always a low, but in this game, there are ALWAYS 2 winner. I think it would be OK to bet pot with your hand from the button if nobody bets, but otherwise be very cautious
Im Sure you agree that Some times its not about the Win its about great game Playing and I think you had that and you had Fun and some Great Meets id Call that a WIN in my Book Great Vlog thanks

yeah and his youtube channel really took off, so he feels more secure in losing every now and then too, which is AWESOME

Was just about to comment exactly this. What an emotional rollercoaster, that’ll be a story he tells his buds for a long time
I guess he doesn't need that ATM 2 feet away either🤣
Facts, well said.
His heart was probably jumping out his chest at that very moment.
we've all been there - i love that aspect of poker!

Praying for ur recovery from the poker hospital
You should’ve folded top set when you know you’re beaten 😂
The variance in PLO bomb pots seems to be far too high, seems you have to have something close to the nuts if not the nuts to win

Brad's line preceeding pocket Queens was comedy gold.
It is the HUSTLER casino... Queens being "picked up" are pretty standard humor there.
The Dumb and Dumber line made me LOL
he's talking about Aspennnnnnn
@@benjub Indeed.
Talking about a little place called Aspen.
When Brad puts out a new vlog, I just grab a snack to watch the action. Guaranteed fun!
Great playin with you Brad! If you don’t mind, send me the link for the “I always have it Heights” Air BnB. I could definitely use the stay 😂🏆

Nice video man. That dude Brian in the beginning looks surprisingly similar to Derek from the All You Can Vegas channel here. Pretty cool 😂
Thanks for keeping these coming. Really great content!!
im dying...... he said everyone at the meetup is guaranteed to win.... had me really thinking "really?"... til he finished his sentence xD
I honestly love the vlogs each time you upload and I hope you set up a meet up game when I go to Vegas in April. Keep em coming!! 👍🏼
You’re the man. Love your videos.
What's nice here Brad is even when you don't run poker good you run life good.. you seem very happy.

teaching a dude who doesnt even realise he should have won half of pot, lol
100%.

Trying to learn poker and your videos help
Nice transition into the pocket queens hand.
