Overall, everything you do and feel for poker is very inspiring. Especially during such ruff times for myself... not with poker, I have a gambling problem, yeah. Poker has replaced my problem a lot, but I've developed a love-hate relationship with the game lately. It's been going well, but sometimes it can be a bit tough to handle. Seeing you be so positive about the game and understanding every aspect of it really uplifts me. I "relapsed" last night and lost everything I made through poker to a stupid slot. It really had me questioning my decisions, but after seeing your videos, considering I just found your channel literally this morning. It helped me resonate with my decision with poker and brought me back to earth. Even after the bad devastating loss, your videos were able to put a smile on my face and have hope for the future, even back at rock bottom. Thank you
Wow - that’s a lot to open up about and be vulnerable about. I think it’s great you’re honest with yourself about gambling in general. I think poker can be a great thing, especially if you treat it in a financially responsible way. Never play with money you can’t afford to lose. I wish you the best in everything - good luck man
💪 Awesome vid. Miss your long form. While not a huge fan of shorts, yours are far better than most. 😄 Love the analysis here best & def like your style better than the other lower stakes vlogs. 🙏 Would LOVE to see more 2/5 or 1/3 vlogs since you're playing those anyway 🤷♂️and vast majority of viewers also play there. I actively seek those stakes in titles TBH and you'd be top vlogger there easily IMHO. Welcome back & best wishes to you & the family 😎
Thanks so much for coming back and watching - I totally understand not being a huge fan of shorts. At the end of the day however, a lot of companies are interested in shorts because of the massive reach they have. I’ll keep that in mind for the future though! Thanks!
Love the analysis. Hearing how to get someone to play back or not to really helps. The bomb pot analysis definitely helped. I think I can use that on other situations too. Thanks homie!
Shorts are well suited for humor and vlogs for analysis. I think your instincts are spot on. If you try to be funny for 10-20 minutes straight it can get exhausting.
I dont mind the analysis but your jokes are what got me to watch your videos to begin with. It separates you from all the other poker vloggers. Regardless ill still be watching your vlogs.
I just found your page and sub'd. I'm in Los Angeles and this week decided to pursue poker full time - considering vlogging. Your content is next level!
I appreciate that! Good luck if you decide to start vlogging! It’s a lot of work, but can be very rewarding if it’s something that you have your heart in
I have some similar thought as yours with the Q6 hand in terms of putting the opponent on the hand on the turn, with a rough % in mind. a) open ended KJ (45+%), b)flush draw (35%) because you hold 2 clubs in your hand, and c)QX (20%) because his would be the last queen. Hence, the difference in my thought here is I’d bomb the turn bet, not checking. Why? Because if he had a) or b) then I want him to pay dearly or get off the hand right there. And if he had QX with a bigger kicker then I still have a chance to hit my flush and beat him on the River.
I totally get what you’re saying. My problem with bombing the turn with this particular hand, is we’re basically going to end up stacking off against a lot of good queens and praying we hit a flush. We do get to deny equity from a lot of the draws but their equity is quite small anyway. For instance, KJ, only has about 16% equity anyway
@ It’s also player dependent. You might be surprised at how stubborn, or sticky, a player at this stake is willing to pay for his flush or open ended draw, even with just one street left on the board.
Love the strategy/analysis content! Curious on the hand where you made trip queens on the turn and checked. My experience at the Gardens (lower than your limit) is that very few players are going to be deterred from pursuing draws just because the board paired. Wouldn't that suggest a healthy turn bet to charge the draws? Also, isn't it less likely that villain has a queen since three of them are already accounted for? Thanks for the great content.
I think if I was shallower with the opponent I’d continue there, but it’s balancing some extra value that we may or may not get from draws with possibly having to commit my entire stack where I’m a heavy dog myself
Definitely talk strategy and you can squeeze something funny here and there. I am looking forward to learn before I enjoy a vlog. I liked your thought process. Nice 👍
Thanks man - I appreciate that a lot. It’s a tough thing knowing how to divide and focus my time, but I do have a 27 minute video I’m almost done with covering a couple tournaments I just played, so hopefully I’ll be able to release that soon
@@BrantzenPoker You're welcome! You're the only poker vlogger I follow, and I miss the old days when it was all grinding at the casino : ) So I'm always excited to see these kinds of videos, but of course it's natural you'd want to branch out and try other things.
Sorry! I’ll do my best - it can be tough for me to juggle everything with family, playing, editing, and short form videos, but thanks so much for watching!
To be honest the only true way to achieve a solid win rate is to have solid approach of critical thinking. Every hand you should be thinking what story makes sense, both for you and your opponent. It’s also always a tight rope walk between clickable titles and reality, but I figured although I didn’t answer that question directly, hopefully it answered it indirectly, and helps people understand how to think about the game. I do understand where you’re coming from though, and I appreciate you giving me grace.
q6 hand you let him get there for sure, id have bet my trips/flush draw on the turn 75% pot and if he raises I fold but most likely will fold out his draws nam the way you played it u also gave him the easiest 75$ call on the river with a straight while the board is paired, at least pot it and if he raises again u can fold.. too passive of a play and in the long run will not pay off being so scary when you yourself said he would have raised sets and two pairs on the flop so he must have had either a flush draw or straight draw ... 9 hits draw so if he had the flush draw the 75$ bet accomplishes nothing bc he folds and by making it so small he calls w the small and big straight where as if you make it pot on river he cant snap call... I would have shoved the river after making art 275 on the turn
Your winrate will be directly correlated to your thought process and decision making. The way you approach and process the information that is provided to you in each hand is insanely important to your winrate
stick to strategy i don’t want to compete with you anymore you handle the strategy let me do the jokes that way people will watch my channel for the jokes and watch yours for strategy if you do the jokes and the strategy then less people will want to watch me do jokes bc they’re content with your jokes so please just do strategy from here on out thanks
It’s only gonna end in 2 ways….. either he realizes that it was foolish to go all in on poker without first securing 4-6k in monthly passive income. Or he keeps gambling, keeps losing hence keeps losing more and then his wife leaves him. 😂
Um. 😅 that’s a pretty pessimistic outlook for someone who’s been a winning player for the past decade. I will say it’s a tough road, but I wouldn’t say “keeps losing”. It’s more a matter of “making enough” in this day and age
@ stop capping. If you were winning you would post more. Your wife wouldn’t be working, she would rather be home taking care of the baby. Your in-laws are talking shit about you right now behind your back. Get back too a real job, invest to get passive income and play on the weekends. You gonna end up like PokerPriest, and so many others
Whew, that’s a bit heavy my man. I’ve only ever been completely truthful and transparent in my videos. Thank you for the comment though, if it’s coming from a genuine place of concern
Analysis > jokes
Thanks for the feedback
Hell yeah happy to see you back. We all love a good mixture of analysis (we wanna get better) and humor (we’re watching youtube for entertainment).
Happy to have you back! Glad you like both sides!
I love the analysis because your sense of humor comes through and I learn a lot! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

bro! We love the "Thought" process!! Keep up the good work!!! Please make more long form video's! Max from the LBC.
Appreciate you always, max. I’ll do my best
Glad you are back. Enjoy the analysis in addition to your other more humorous videos.
Thanks for the feedback!
Love these deeper dives into the strategy!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know ☺️
welcome back let's go brantzen!!
Let’s goooo
Poker strategy is good
❤️
Yep love the long form content
Everyone that plays poker knows there is no strategy when you have people that high bet everything 😂@@BrantzenPoker
Love the analysis. Hearing how to get someone to play back or not to really helps. The bomb pot analysis definitely helped. I think I can use that on other situations too. Thanks homie!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏
Welcome back. Nice win. You're a very lucky man. That time you're spending with your daughter will always be more valuable than a good poker session.
Totally agree - time with the family and with my daughter is priceless
Welcome back big fella
Ayy thank you sir
Shorts are well suited for humor and vlogs for analysis. I think your instincts are spot on.
If you try to be funny for 10-20 minutes straight it can get exhausting.
Yeah for sure - appreciate your input

Thanks man - hope you’ve been doing well
I enjoy both the strategy and comedy, but I really like this style of video that errs on the side of deeper analysis
Love to hear it! Thanks

Definitely comedic vlog
Good to know!
I rather prefer this format with explanations of your thought process. But you can still throw in a few funny comments here and there!
Cool cool!
Me too!! Great vid
4:30 definitely target a chop with at least $350
That feels so massive, but you may be right
Nice strategy.
Thanks!
More strats please!

Strategy is good

Prefer strategy for long form fo sho
Good to know!
analysis for long form and comedic for short form! gotta be balanced 😉

Want to see you more often.
Sorry! I’ll do my best - it can be tough for me to juggle everything with family, playing, editing, and short form videos, but thanks so much for watching!
The vlog and thought process is good, but I thought from your title this was about overarching strategy or a guide.
To be honest the only true way to achieve a solid win rate is to have solid approach of critical thinking. Every hand you should be thinking what story makes sense, both for you and your opponent. It’s also always a tight rope walk between clickable titles and reality, but I figured although I didn’t answer that question directly, hopefully it answered it indirectly, and helps people understand how to think about the game.

My bet on the river was not to fold out better hands; it was to block bet and get value from worse hands. But I think you make a lot of valid points
Oh yeah
