One thing you've helped me with a ton is how to get stacks in by the river. I've been trying to figure out SPR and the appropriate amounts to bet to get a pot sized shove on the the river, and I wouldn't have done that without this vlog! Now I'm finally getting paid for my big hands
Vloggers tend to put way too much emphasis on SPR. It's a good thing to know the concept of pot odds, but more often than not geometric sizing isn't actually appropriate.
From a random fan and stranger, I think I speak for us all when I say we love to see the success Sam. It's a learning experience far beyond poker. I think you're realizing you can do anything you put your mind to. Keep going!
The videos keep getting better and better, style of play continues to be interesting and informative, and incredible willingness ( for the most part ) to battle it out against other solid players - keep up the good work!
Loving the content Sam and been watching the journey since episode one! Would love to see a video perhaps on how you study and the work that goes on behind the scenes to get good results. Video idea maybe 👀
That would be incredibly boring 😂 sign up for a training site, consume all they have to offer, review hands with friends, and then look at your range once you've played a hand, and see if you have enough value:bluffs
I’m all for playing a mixed strategy and randomizing your actions, however it doesn’t always have to be the only crux for your decisions. Even if in theory an action should be split 50-50, there can be plenty of exploitative reasons why we should swing the pendulum one way or another. Or if you simply are tired of taking the passive (call route) just choose raise, who gives a fk what your watch hand happens to land on in this instance, it doesn’t have to be the end all be all of your decision making process. It’s okay to occasionally deviate if you want to!
@@BluffaloSam you know I’m not saying that. But there’s more to live poker especially then just randomizing every decision. You sounded disappointed that you once again landed on call one hand, if you think 3 bet is better then just 3 bet, it has absolutely zero bearing on any future decision you make in another hand. That’s where playing exploitatively comes into play. Nobody is saying to always 3 bet, or to stop randomizing in future spots, but sometimes we have to deviate from certain %s the solver gives, or it’s a 50-50 and one seems more prudent given game flow, then just take it, this is just for one hand AND ONE HAND ONLY
@BluffaloSam, I did my own Vegas-tour last year and was surprised by Resorts World. I found the Poker Room way too brightly lit, the games were bad, and I didn't care for the Casino. I actually thought the Poker Room was temporary but someone informed me that was the actual Poker room! I much preferred Bellagio and Aria due to the ambiance and game play, but also really liked the Wynn, sounds like you did too...
Lol Bellagio has no ambience. Stuffy, cramped room, beyond overrated, 2-5 is trash there bc of the $500 cap. I’d play RW in a heartbeat over Bellagio. Sam, RW can be hit or miss, at least the 2-5, I’ve only played there a few times but the games were generally at least decent
Solver generated hand ranges that I study. I simplify the fk out of them though, and then adjust from there. If an opponent isn't folding to 3bets OOP, I drop all my suited 1 gappers, and 3bet only suited connectors at low frequency for board coverage, also drop suited Aces and move those into call range.
19:25 personally, I think the overbet makes you too polar. It would be cool to do it like if you just had top pair but I would prefer like $175 or $200. Might look like more value and he could fold. probably not folding QJ tho
It’s actually crazy because I also had the biggest win of my life yesterday at 1-3 (~$3k stack by the end) AND the exact same hand with the 99s vs AAs happened to me. Flop was K 9 4 (prob different suits) but it was a raised pot preflop and we ended up getting it all in on the flop and I scooped a massive one since it was against the other deep stack at the table. Very Deja vu moment for me in this vid!
When someone’s running hot it’s crazy how deep the stacks get. A couple days ago I saw about $3,500 stack at 1/3. And today I saw someone have nearly $7,000 at 1/2 PLO. Another reg said he’s seen someone have about 15K at that 1/2 plo. It’s a 200-1000 buyin… fucking crazy
Why was it not your proudest moment cracking aces with king Jack? You played them fairly, did you get lucky? Yes, but if aces won every single time, people would not need to actually learn how to play.
He sucked out on a 6 outer for the turn and need to suck out for a 5 outer on the river to win the hand vs AA. He is saying it isn’t his proudest moment because if anything else beside a K or J came he would pay the guy off still
Ok yeah I played with you a couple weeks ago. I think you took a couple hundred from me while I was waiting for PLO. Nice videos keep enjoying the ride.
Jesus you butchered a couple of those hands. Raising top boat on the turn and 3 bet jamming middle set on 943 is so bad. Those might be the worst 2 hands I have seen you play and I think I have watched all of the videos. Love the videos, keep crushing!

Liking the content. I feel you manage to make the minimum from a heater. Cant wait to see the improvement.
What a sun run, great video!!!
Nice work! So many interesting hands!
I learn from your level of aggression with bluff hands. Thanks for sharing

Good work Sam ! LFG
Nice Wynn session! I ran pretty good there too
KQ hand was such a sick play by him and we’re always sigh calling and hating it 🤷♂️ fun hand to break down

If I did that, I'd be playing a pure 100%cbet strategy everytime I picked up 97s 😂 it helps me

Bellagio I wasn't a huge fan of, the smoking area was too close to my table, Aria is beautiful, but Wynn is my favourite

congrats bro
Quarter of the way there Sam
Gg
How do you randomize live? Love the videos, learning a lot
Second hand of my watch
Bro. Great fucking session.
Nice
5:04 I can tell from his hands he has pocket aces lmfao
KQ all the hands you named that beat him besides maybe AK don't overbet that turn though lol
How do you know what percentages you should be randomizing? Ex” 75 percent 3bet 25 fold. Just an example, are u getting the numbers from solvers

Tbh my turn bet should've been a lot larger, and River should be a shove. I'd much prefer that
I need to get out of line more
The older gentleman 3 betting AA on K94 then calling a flop 4 bet amazes me
It’s actually crazy because I also had the biggest win of my life yesterday at 1-3 (~$3k stack by the end)

That's wild! Congrats on an enormous 1/3 win holy

What do you use to randomize?

Bc 90% of the time hes losing, especially the way he played it
Sam are you from Canada? I can’t remember….
I am, Vancouver

@conraddewey1709 whoops, sorry 😂
@@BluffaloSamcheers mine as well go to a good person. Rather than someone that is not nice.
The fake comments make me sad
Don't believe the hype, Resorts World is a terrible room. No foot traffic, no Bravo, no vibe.
Yeah, unfortunately :/
gonna echo the other people here. resorts world is horrible place to play at and the floor is terrible
How do you compare the LA players vs Vegas?
Vegas regs are tougher
