Brad I don't even play poker and I am addicted to your vlog. Thanks very much for doing what you do and being yourself. Your personality and humor are great. I get so nervous sweating it with you when you bluff shove!!!! Great job with both the poker playing and being such a UA-cam celebrity!! All the best to you!
BRAD, do you realize what you've accomplished with this?? As a fellow Bay Area native (Pleasanton) and Niner fan, you have caused me TO SMILE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN in over 67 hours since the Ravens treated the Niners like, well you treated Casey! He seems like a great dude though, and this Vlog = epic entertainment. Thanks so much...
Hey Brad, may I ask that next time you play a WPT event you make the video as almost a mini movie? Especially if you run deep, seeing a 1+ hour vid with great commentary and an awesome event would be much appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work per usual on the videos and happy new year!
Can't believe so many years have passed since I followed Brad and Andrew. Some of the very few that survived the evolution of YT poker vlog. Congrat and look forward to more to come!!!
Thank you, Brad! I made a commitment to myself that I’m just allowed to watch your vlog when I’m running on a treadmill. Thanks a lot for the extra motivation and keep the videos coming! 😍
Brad consistently provides my favorite poker content on UA-cam by coupling really great insight/explanations with a level of humor that is "next-level".
THATS it for this one guy we always enjoy it brad is growing the game of poker like tiger grew golf and the amateur community salutes you big dog! i know i speak for many when i say thanks Brad we love your content and thanks for teaching us the gritty side of the game
I’ve been with you since your first video dropped and I couldn’t be happier that you’ve had such success this time around. Hoping to finally meet you at a meet up game in 2024!
Rough there at the end Brad, we’ve all been there. Keep up the vlogs, love watching your videos. Your channel randomly came up on my feed at one point. Watched a vid of yours and that’s what got me to start playing poker. I appreciate you, good luck at the tables….. Also, come to thunder valley!!!!!
Much respect to you for the depth of your knowledge, the breadth of your skills and your easy ability to be an entertaining teacher. Best of luck to you in the coming new year.
It's okay Brad, you knew it was time to leave as a winner. You almost always make the right decisions. I'm a long-time follower/watcher/ supporter/learner/ fan. Your journey has inspired me greatly. 😊
Thanks Brad, I love my poker and I find your videos inspirational and informative. You are very mature beyond your years. Great entertainment mate, keep up the great work. Hopefully I’ll head back your way Vegas in 2024 and I’ll get the chance to meet up.
Hey Brad. What I like about this video is the pain you show towards the end. Not schadenfreude on my side - just respecting your honesty. As you know, that’s poker. Like a game of chess, one miss-step messes everything up. Sh!t of a game sometimes!! Thanks for the vlog and showing us the bad times along with the good! Still a winning session - on to the next one.
Thanks for talking about the hard times! It really helps to keep things in perspective. I'm just cpming out of a discouraging downswing where I was doing everything right and still getting hammered. But patience and solid play are turning it around.
Brad, thanks for taking the time at the end of the video to let everyone know that it’s not as easy as you make it look. We can tell your a genuine guy! You gained a new subscriber here. Thanks for sharing and good luck. Hope to see you at the tables some day if you ever come to Florida.
Happy New Year Brad! As a father of two I can tell you you're steppi g into a wonderful new world. Everything in life becomes more beautiful when you can share it with your child. Good luck and God bless!
I absolutely love your dry sense of humor ! You're always cracking me up : ) Happy New Year Brad. Hope 2024 is your best year yet and hope you score a huge tournament win !
Been following and rooting for you since I started playing cards in 2018, I'm a huge fan and it's awesome to see your progression! Keep up the great work!!
Years ago, we had friendly games of hold 'em. Slowly we died off. I can't seem to get a game going. I'm in Vermont and I can't conveniently travel for charity games. I don't feel comfortable going to a legal card state and getting scalped by sharks.
Just take a trip to the nearest casino to you with a poker room. most 1-2 1-3 games are very fun and if you are even half decent you can make money, break even or lose a little. Either way there aren't many players that are sharks trying to outplay you on every hand. Sorry if this went long lol. Im just trying to give a fellow poker player friendly advice. If you love poker and truly have a desire to play, go for it. You won't regret it.
Hey Brad, I have been watching your vlogs for a long time and never thought about the subscribe button until you said you hit 700,000 subscribers 😂 it's been a pleasure watching you grow in your journey as a professional. Thank you for sharing!
most entertaining, and yet, educational poker series out here... you get a full analysis on the fly thru the hands ... and the one liners and zingers never fail to make you laugh...either on his opponents, or himself..
Brad YOU ROCK,. I am also from Sonoma County, Windsor Ca... I now live in Maui , and unfortunately lost my place do to the devastating fire that destroyed Lahaina. I not only watch ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS, I look forward to seeing them. My name is Ed and I just wanted to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for making my days a little better and brighter WITH RESPECT Ed Burton
Sorry you lost in Jacksonville, I came up to you at the end of the night and said to you I enjoy watching your vlogs and nice to meet you, I could tell you had a rough session and you looked drained but I had no idea you had lost. You were still cool and glad to have met you been following your vlogs since pretty much you started. GLLLL At the tables.
Hey Brad, congrats on busting the 700000 bubble, that's quite an accomplishment. You content is awesome, one of the best out there, please keep up the great vlogs, I learn a bunch from you.
I really appreciate the insights you share in your commentaries. Best poker vlog I've seen. One thing I don't get about the overbet with with straight holding 78 is that Casey checked on the turn, so he wasn't that strong, so I would think he'd unlikely call Pot or more but you know him quite well. A little over half pot or maybe 3/4 could get a call more chips. Who knows, it may induce a raise if closer to half pot. I've been doing the same lately, and I think to myself I maybe chased away some extra money. ;)
Can't belive you haven't reached a million. You are one of the best, if not thee best. Can't feel too bad. A win is a win and you didn't have to take money out of your pocket to pay for dinner. Thanks for sharing and hoping next one is a BIG win.
It was sick to battle it out on the felt with you, Brad! I was surprised you had AQo as well. Many more battles to come in the future. Congrats on 700k!
Becoming a huge fan learning a lot. Im from your home area i believe and work at graton casino. I just took too cash at the lucky leap tournament and im deep into the seen right now trying to take my game to the next level. These vlogs are really cool and give me a good perspective on exceptions and coolers. This is good stuff! Hopefully I’ll see you at the Wynn next month
your the only poker vlog i watch, glad you said “subscribe” because i’ve been watching for a while and didn’t know i wasn’t, any tips? you or subscribers, love the channel thanks!
I have been watching your vlog posts for the past few months and had never subscribed to anyone on youtube before and never intended to. When I saw that you hit 700k and had the goal of a million you got me to click the subscribe button. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
Hey Brad - really enjoy your videos. Quick question for you as I just noticed it in this vide for the first time: how do you decide how much to tip after you win a pot? I play a local 1/2 game and it can vary pretty wildly among the players. Mostly based on the overall size of the pot, but was curious to hear if you have any set system or if it is just sort of random.
I can’t tell you how many times (I am 71) I’ve seen the scenario - Starting great and then losing it all or most of it, back. At least you didn’t get broke. ☮️
Brad! Just got back from my first trip to Vegas, showed up at the wynn poker room hoping to catch you but I was a few hours late after your tournament finish. Was still a blast to see the two black aces on the floor that you show so often when you're at the wynn! Thanks for many episodes of amazing content, hopefully one day I'll catch you closer to home at The Lodge!
Brad I have a question. When players go all in. I wanted to know who shows their hand first? If you show your hand - and the other mucks is that correct ? Should they both show.?
Been watching you and your channel for years. Had my first poker session in an actual casino (Parx in PA) and did well in the beginning (did bust 9 hours in though. Card dead for 6 hours lol). I’ll def be back there. Thank you for the great content!
I'd love to see a video of you making these videos. The descriptions of the hands and making these videos has to be harder then the actual poker playing. Good work!!
Well Brad, first of all congratz with 700.000+ followers, that is awesome. Also happy that you announce that it was a hard and difficult way to get where you are. I am very happy with your videos they tell me a lot about reasoning, in that way you teach me a lot, now i need to learn to control my body tells, maybe then i can get somewere with the game, so far everybody seems to read my cards on the way i sit, react or even being quiet. lol. Keep up the good work and i wish you mush more nice winnings, would love to see you win a final table in a live session. Good luck.
well i commented before I watched until the end... its refreshing to hear you be candid about your start in poker and how the struggles can be overwhelming, I agree the losing can get you mentally which is the hardest thing to conquer in order to be a winning player. I also agree its a difficult profession to try and take on as just being at a poker table can be stressful with the amount of degenerates that play the game and make it almost unbearable at times due to their antics and behaviors, I am just a rec player and find it stressful just trying to stay positive at the table and cant imagine trying to do it as a profession. I wish you good luck.
Congrats on 700k. Been with you from vlog 3 or 4. I’ll need to scroll all the way back and see which one was actually my first one. But, I’ve hit like on every single one of your vlogs ever since.
"Or that Casey made me move back in with my parents. " Arguably the single most attractive thing about your vlog is your ability to laugh at yourself. Now that youre about to be a dad (❤) this skill will be invaluable.
Not glad you lost at the end... BUT - glad you did and then walked away still up for the session- that's something that isn't easy to do - and a great lesson to do that. I have a question - ??? Say you go to a table and win a BIG hand right away and don't know you really want to stick around and want to max your profits, how long should you stay without doing a hit and run??? Hopefully you can answer, I know you're busy. Thanks Brad!!
On the AQc hand (14 mins into the video) on the turn you say that checking leaves the door open for him to bomb river as a bluff as if that's a bad thing. I just feel that would be a good outcome. Like what hands are you really scared of at that point in the hand? He most likely doesn't have a King or a set. It's risky but I'm inclined to let the villain bluff off his stack there on a ton of river cards. Great content though as always!
Every video that I have watched. and I don't believe I missed a video of Brad Owen has been on point. My man, "Brad" is an inspiration and a winner. Love you bud.
I used to watch Brad 5 to 6 years ago on my school laptop, I stopped watching UA-cam for a year and has been trying to find brads channel until tn, Brad started my poker journey. I remember I started out with 200 dollars and now I’m sitting around 80k it’s been a nice journey. Ty Brad
And I’ve had to restart so many time but you keep me going man. It’s so hard. But I keep going and you’re the the person that inspired me. I had no idea who the big hitters were till I watched you
Thanks for the amazing content Brad! Poker as you mentioned is one of the greatest gifts in the world as it teaches us one of the most valuable life lessons. That lesson is how to handle adversity! You showed the mental toughness and the work ethic it takes to be have the success you are enjoying today! Congrats on 700K+ and as well the 10K and 50K tourneys! #letsgoin24!!!
I remember the exact situation I stopped playing professionally as well. In charlestown casino. Last 300 from my bankroll. I said before I started playing that if I lose, I'm done. I flopped the nuts with AQ suited after I raised it preflop. Got it all in on the turn with four to a flush somehow when I had the second nuts. 97 suited made the straight flush. I turned over first and said I have the nuts in a timid way trying to be nice to the person who called expecting to win. He said I have a flush too, and then says, oh, I have a straight flush and scooped the pot. The worst part? He almost folded because he didn't know he had a straight flush at first. I didn't know it at the time how rare that situation happens in cash games and should have given myself a little slack at the time. Reason I was broke? Lending people money that didn't pay back and losing a couple of sessions thinking I would just make the money back I loaned out. Learned a lot of big life lessons back then and plan on going back to professional play when my kid is older .
Not bad at all, man. Crazy session. You have the balls to play some big pots using exceptional poker acumen. Respect! 300 is still a win! - Tim St. John
Great to see you hit 700k subs. I've been watching for years and always look forward to a new video. I'll be hitting up 300,000 of my closest friends to try to push you to the 1M mark!
Been following since your videos in the 40s or 50s? Memory is the 2nd thing to go. Most channels have fabulous prizes at different subscriber counts. :D :D Keep up the great work! BTW, in Austin, which is better, Perry's or 3 Forks? Going in Feb. for 50th.
i made it boys, i can crush 1/2 and 2/5 tables pretty steadily.. i called out all the villains hands before I were able to see it. I put the villain on A T against his KK when he called and then 4 5 when he called 250 more. just excited that im able to have a decent read and realized I upped my poker skills.
So call me stupid, but I'm not a gambler obviously... I just really enjoy your vids because you are very adept at explaining your thoughts as you vlog each hand that's interesting. I wouldn't know what or where to bet anything, which might just come in handy against guys who know their stuff and "expect" certain things and I would be all over the place, probably busting out quickly, but who knows. Anyway, the question is, I always see you "tip" the cage, either cash or chips. How do you know how much to tip and why? I mean the cage people didn't do anything but cash you out. Just wondering is all.
Hey Brad, love watching your vlogs, im currently in vegas for 3 more days and was wondering if there was any chance that I could meet you as I go back to Australia soon?
Brad I play poker a lot at local Casino and I like to learn. how you read the opponents like you, how you read them by how they bet or body reactions or by how you know the players and love to learn because I watch your you tube channel a lot I think you are very good
Always a great day when a new vlog hits my notifications! Will you be in Vegas next week? I’m coming into town and staying at the Bellagio for several days and would love to meet you bro!
Curious question: I feel like a lot of times the video ends with “we had X at the high point” When you tripled your stack a few hours in why not leave??
Like that you share the not so glamorous side. It isn't always roses. It seems you may want to adjust for those that lay in wait for you to overvalue in some spots. It's almost as if they are waiting for particular spots. I am sure you have figured that out already, but I feel important now that I said it. 😊
This gotta be one of my favorite episodes. I’ve been following for years man. Respect beautiful story you shared. You should make a movie
I agree, i connected more than ever with Brad with this episode
Brad I don't even play poker and I am addicted to your vlog. Thanks very much for doing what you do and being yourself. Your personality and humor are great. I get so nervous sweating it with you when you bluff shove!!!! Great job with both the poker playing and being such a UA-cam celebrity!! All the best to you!
U might be homosexual. Brads been reeling them in
dudes been living rent free in brads head for 10 years now brad lives in his
The ole switcheroo
Rent was overdue
The thing about those tables
they should both move out
I suspect Casey had forgotten about this hand by dinner time.
BRAD, do you realize what you've accomplished with this??
As a fellow Bay Area native (Pleasanton) and Niner fan, you have caused me TO SMILE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN in over 67 hours since the Ravens treated the Niners like, well you treated Casey! He seems like a great dude though, and this Vlog = epic entertainment. Thanks so much...
This guy gets it
Hey Brad, may I ask that next time you play a WPT event you make the video as almost a mini movie? Especially if you run deep, seeing a 1+ hour vid with great commentary and an awesome event would be much appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work per usual on the videos and happy new year!
There will definitely be at least one like that coming
@@BradOwenPokerlet’s goooo I could watch 2 hour videos. I watch your videos every night they are available.
@@BradOwenPokerman you are the goat I cant wait for it bro
Can't believe so many years have passed since I followed Brad and Andrew. Some of the very few that survived the evolution of YT poker vlog. Congrat and look forward to more to come!!!
Missed the cat.
They all "survived". There is minimal production cost.
Thank you, Brad! I made a commitment to myself that I’m just allowed to watch your vlog when I’m running on a treadmill. Thanks a lot for the extra motivation and keep the videos coming! 😍
Ha, I do exactly the same thing. Perfect length for a good cardio work out.
Same haha
This seemed like a longer run for you
I’m gonna start doing this I need to lose weight
Brad consistently provides my favorite poker content on UA-cam by coupling really great insight/explanations with a level of humor that is "next-level".
That session had it all! The ups, and downs and the weird feeling 'win' at the end..GL on the next ones!!
THATS it for this one guy we always enjoy it brad is growing the game of poker like tiger grew golf and the amateur community salutes you big dog! i know i speak for many when i say thanks Brad we love your content and thanks for teaching us the gritty side of the game
I like that Brad is friendly enough to take pictures with fans.
I’ve been with you since your first video dropped and I couldn’t be happier that you’ve had such success this time around. Hoping to finally meet you at a meet up game in 2024!

I absolutely love your dry sense of humor ! You're always cracking me up : ) Happy New Year Brad. Hope 2024 is your best year yet and hope you score a huge tournament win !
28:39 how did you lose here? Unless graphics were wrong. You had 2 pair Aces over Queens but you said he won with Queens and Nines. What am I missing?
Queen nine of hearts. Hit the flush with the turned ace of hearts.
Been following and rooting for you since I started playing cards in 2018, I'm a huge fan and it's awesome to see your progression! Keep up the great work!!
Years ago, we had friendly games of hold 'em. Slowly we died off. I can't seem to get a game going. I'm in Vermont and I can't conveniently travel for charity games.

I've been a subscriber for a couple of years. Well done describing your early experience to try to keep young starters 'grounded' !
Used to watch mainly Doug Polk for analysis and breakdowns.
Brad is the GOAT of breakdowns and analysis, and you keep it moving. Wish him success.
Brad, great job fighting in the early stages of the WPT Main Event! We were all rooting for you in the livestream! Regroup and go get them next year!
Brad YOU ROCK,. I am also from Sonoma County, Windsor Ca... I now live in Maui , and unfortunately lost my place do to the devastating fire that destroyed Lahaina. I not only watch ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS, I look forward to seeing them. My name is Ed and I just wanted to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for making my days a little better and brighter WITH RESPECT Ed Burton
This is literally one of your best videos ever Brad. So proud of you and your analysis! Dont ever lose your great humor. Great content as always.
Just started watching and I already know this one is going to amazing!
Best line @ 20:35 "should look more suspect than the fact that Ray Lewis doesn't know where his cream colored suit is"... holy moly, now that's funny.
I saw Lakeshow with you, Agavni, Billy a few years ago. Such a hidden gem in Vegas. Always rooting for you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Good job with the subs. Thanks for the honesty, we all have struggled a bit. You coming on the WPT cruise again this year?
Sorry you lost in Jacksonville, I came up to you at the end of the night and said to you I enjoy watching your vlogs and nice to meet you, I could tell you had a rough session and you looked drained but I had no idea you had lost.

The last 2 weeks has been awful not having new content!!!! Welcome home!!!
Thanks man, it was a great way to end the year
That's a long ass time to play the Revenge Range. I applaud the courage of your convictions.
I learned everything I know about poker watching you, and how you break down every hand! Love this game and the content you put out!
Brad, much respect for your reflection on the hard time for the new generations watching!
really good episode i like the context u give out when facing an opponent u played against before
Thanks man
“…looks more suspicious than Ray Lewis not knowing where his cream colored suit is.” Brutal. True, but brutal. lol
Brad! Just got back from my first trip to Vegas, showed up at the wynn poker room hoping to catch you but I was a few hours late after your tournament finish. Was still a blast to see the two black aces on the floor that you show so often when you're at the wynn! Thanks for many episodes of amazing content, hopefully one day I'll catch you closer to home at The Lodge!
Huge fan of the vlog. I love that you showcase your wins as well as your losses and keep it real with viewers. Good luck in your upcoming sessions.
Brad I have a question. When players go all in. I wanted to know who shows their hand first? If you show your hand - and the other mucks is that correct ? Should they both show.?
Brad, every career goes through rough patches. Persistence is the trait that makes the difference. Congratulations and here's to continued success.
Been watching you and your channel for years. Had my first poker session in an actual casino (Parx in PA) and did well in the beginning (did bust 9 hours in though. Card dead for 6 hours lol). I’ll def be back there. Thank you for the great content!

Brad's videos are the only videos I watch that I just thumbs up at the start because I know it's gonna be good.
"Or that Casey made me move back in with my parents. "
Arguably the single most attractive thing about your vlog is your ability to laugh at yourself.
Now that youre about to be a dad (❤) this skill will be invaluable.
Not glad you lost at the end... BUT - glad you did and then walked away still up for the session- that's something that isn't easy to do - and a great lesson to do that. I have a question - ???

Whenever you want to leave , leave. These ppl aren’t paying or bills so if you’re up in the session. And you want to bounce bounce
On the AQc hand (14 mins into the video) on the turn you say that checking leaves the door open for him to bomb river as a bluff as if that's a bad thing. I just feel that would be a good outcome.

Every video that I have watched. and I don't believe I missed a video of Brad Owen has been on point. My man, "Brad" is an inspiration and a winner. Love you bud.
Exposure to Brad's considerations has taught me a lot.
I used to watch Brad 5 to 6 years ago on my school laptop, I stopped watching UA-cam for a year and has been trying to find brads channel until tn, Brad started my poker journey. I remember I started out with 200 dollars and now I’m sitting around 80k it’s been a nice journey. Ty Brad
That ray lewis cream suit line was excellent 😂 well done
Haha thanks I don't think a lot of people picked it up
probably my favorite line of the year of yours, thanks for the content!@@BradOwenPoker
And I’ve had to restart so many time but you keep me going man. It’s so hard. But I keep going and you’re the the person that inspired me. I had no idea who the big hitters were till I watched you
My excitement for watching you play has been waiting for this day. You almost had the Mike Mcdiarmond.
Congratulations, Brad. Best of luck to you in your poker career. Hope you take down 1st in a big tournament soon.
Thanks for the amazing content Brad! Poker as you mentioned is one of the greatest gifts in the world as it teaches us one of the most valuable life lessons. That lesson is how to handle adversity! You showed the mental toughness and the work ethic it takes to be have the success you are enjoying today! Congrats on 700K+ and as well the 10K and 50K tourneys! #letsgoin24!!!
Much respect and love for that testimony at the end brother. Your heart is in a good place. Here’s to some run good in 2024!
I remember the exact situation I stopped playing professionally as well. In charlestown casino. Last 300 from my bankroll. I said before I started playing that if I lose, I'm done. I flopped the nuts with AQ suited after I raised it preflop. Got it all in on the turn with four to a flush somehow when I had the second nuts. 97 suited made the straight flush. I turned over first and said I have the nuts in a timid way trying to be nice to the person who called expecting to win. He said I have a flush too, and then says, oh, I have a straight flush and scooped the pot. The worst part? He almost folded because he didn't know he had a straight flush at first. I didn't know it at the time how rare that situation happens in cash games and should have given myself a little slack at the time. Reason I was broke? Lending people money that didn't pay back and losing a couple of sessions thinking I would just make the money back I loaned out. Learned a lot of big life lessons back then and plan on going back to professional play when my kid is older .
Mom can we watch Rounders? We have rounders at home. Rounders at home:
Not bad at all, man. Crazy session. You have the balls to play some big pots using exceptional poker acumen.
Respect! 300 is still a win!

The semi bluff against Casey was 🔥
It was a punt..
Love ur videos. Thanks Brad great dialogue informative honest and humorous. Happy New Year all the best in 2024🎉
That's monologue.
Brad vids are like weekly gifts u forgot you were getting, then u wake up and see the notification!
Great to see you hit 700k subs. I've been watching for years and always look forward to a new video. I'll be hitting up 300,000 of my closest friends to try to push you to the 1M mark!
Been following since your videos in the 40s or 50s? Memory is the 2nd thing to go. Most channels have fabulous prizes at different subscriber counts. :D :D Keep up the great work!
BTW, in Austin, which is better, Perry's or 3 Forks? Going in Feb. for 50th.
i made it boys, i can crush 1/2 and 2/5 tables pretty steadily.. i called out all the villains hands before I were able to see it. I put the villain on A T against his KK when he called and then 4 5 when he called 250 more. just excited that im able to have a decent read and realized I upped my poker skills.
well done on 700k subs! I do enjoy the narrative as you play.
Thanks for another great vlog Brad. I always enjoy spending time watching.
Thanks a lot man. Good luck to you!
Great vlogs Brad thanks Best wishes for 2024 happy new year mate 🎉 it’s been great following your adventures in poker ♣️ thanks 😊
Thank you Tony!
Very entertaining and well rounded, thanks for the video!
So call me stupid, but I'm not a gambler obviously... I just really enjoy your vids because you are very adept at explaining your thoughts as you vlog each hand that's interesting. I wouldn't know what or where to bet anything, which might just come in handy against guys who know their stuff and "expect" certain things and I would be all over the place, probably busting out quickly, but who knows. Anyway, the question is, I always see you "tip" the cage, either cash or chips. How do you know how much to tip and why? I mean the cage people didn't do anything but cash you out. Just wondering is all.
Hey Brad, love watching your vlogs, im currently in vegas for 3 more days and was wondering if there was any chance that I could meet you as I go back to Australia soon?
Another great vid. Hope you had a good Christmas Brad. Good luck in the new year, onwards and upwards!!
Brad I play poker a lot at local Casino and I like to learn. how you read the opponents like you, how you read them by how they bet or body reactions or by how you know the players and love to learn because I watch your you tube channel a lot I think you are very good
Always a great day when a new vlog hits my notifications! Will you be in Vegas next week? I’m coming into town and staying at the Bellagio for several days and would love to meet you bro!
Love me some Brad Owens Vlogs! Congrats on the viewership subscribers! 🎉
Curious question:
I feel like a lot of times the video ends with “we had X at the high point”
When you tripled your stack a few hours in why not leave??
This was the day i met you! i've been waiting to see when this vlog was gonna drop :D
Like that you share the not so glamorous side. It isn't always roses. It seems you may want to adjust for those that lay in wait for you to overvalue in some spots. It's almost as if they are waiting for particular spots. I am sure you have figured that out already, but I feel important now that I said it. 😊
Brad: “today I reached 700,000 subscribers!”
(sound effect of 3 people cheering plays).
Lul
I would argue that being up-stuck sometimes hurts more than just being stuck, solid session tho Brad
Given the delay on the vlogs, is there a place where we can find out about upcoming meet up events, etc. with sufficient lead time to possibly attend?
Hey what exactly did you mean in between 22:40-22:50 when you said he blocks 10’9, 9’8 and 8’7?
Hey Brad I’m thinking about starting to record my games to go back over my hands but I don’t know what camera to use. Any suggestions?
"...or that he made me move back in with my parents." Lofl! Killing it with your lively, laid back, narrative Brad.
