Brad, I lost my father around the same time you did. We also had a similar love of sports and gambling. It’s refreshing and comforting to see how someone else handles similar life events. Also as a new father, I wish you happiness with your child on the way!
Condolences mate. I lost my mum last October only two months after the birth of my first son. It's hard to think about how she'll miss watching her grandson grow up, but we gotta get through the tough times to be there for the little ones.
The end of the video really hit home. I love seeing the personal touches, it augments the hard work you put into both playing poker and providing entertainment for us. Thanks Brad, keep crushing it in 2024
I have learned so much about poker from watching your videos, and I look forward to them every week. I lost my wife to cancer just over a year ago. We were married for almost 31 years. I have empathy and compassion for what you and your Mom are experiencing. It is so difficult. Your videos always brighten my week when I am feeling sad. God bless you and your family and your future son. I wish you the best of luck.
The biggest compliment I can give you Brad is that you make poker seem easy. Even in the sessions where nothing goes your way, you make it seem super logical and that helps a lot. Thanks for all the videos!
Brad, thanks for keeping the vlog going... For my friends just getting into Poker, I have them watch your videos to get a better understanding of the evolving dynamics in a hand. You are a legitimate asset to the Poker world. Thanks again, hope to catch you at the tables someday!
Im just a year or two older than you. Lost my dad around 2010. Was one of the hardest things I remember going through. Watching all of your vlogs and seeing you remember your dad in different scenarios, honestly brings me some joy. It reminds me of all the great memories of my dad. 13 years later, its not any different. Not easy, or worse. Still good memories. Thanks for sharing you poker journey, but also sharing the hardest part, life.
Great job Brad, love the tribute to dad at the end, I lost mine 4yrs back and def find myself having that same feeling at times…always good to have those beautiful memories!
This was one of my favorite episodes, Brad. This year will be 20 years since my dad passed away so the tribute to your dad was a nice touch. Love to see these big wins and I get envious because I’m pretty sure this will never happen to me as a rec player playing small stakes who will not likely ever develop into a pro like yourself. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll run really hot at the Wynn one time and make a couple thousand bucks and have my moment. Keep up the great content.
Damn Brad, the clip of your family at the game and your Dad is so very well laid up, Steph Curry would be proud. Always fun to hear your replays of the hands, but this last three-minute stretch makes it all the more worth watching. Family is so very special and memorable moments like that are worth catching on tape. One of your best vlog moments
Bradley I not only grew up in the Bay (Santa Clara) but have remained a lifelong Niner fan like you. Looks like you had a great day at Levi’s with the family. So important to continue to create memories with them even now as your life is changing with a lil one on the way. Let’s hope our boys ride home field through the playoffs so you can watch em in your adopted home town at Allegiant. Man how I’d love to be at that game with you in my McCaffrey jersey high fiving another 49er Super Bowl win. LFG. 49ers4life
This episode is a very good bookmark for anyone out there grinding it out for a living. It shows how valuable it is to maintain confidence and how that same confidence can influence how you play. Particularly at 21:03 when Brad had the 98ss and called down a bluff. Had things started off terribly, Brad’s confidence could be shaken just enough that he doesn’t follow through with his instincts and discipline and folds second pair w/a weak kicker. At that point he is just bluff catching but in the moment he broke down what was going through his mind and I’m not so sure that his mind has as much clarity had he started off rough. Brad’s talked about state of mind dozens of times in his vlogs but I just wanted to share a hand I felt encapsulates that point. Nicely done, Bradley
Another banger Brad! Glad to see you get back on the winning track and having some fun with your family. I've lived in New York for over 20 years now, but I'm from New Hampshire originally and it's always fun to go back home. And your dad tribute got me there at the end. Mine has been gone just over 10 years now and I still have those moments. We all know that he is so proud of you, and I hope you know that while he may not be there physically, he is always with you!
Brad, I lost my mother a few months ago. Watching how you honored your father at the end of this video was just so special. So happy that you have those moments to put into your videos and all the memories. So wish I had a similar scenario. I will just continue thinking about it as I wipe the tears running down my face. All the best to you and your family.
Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family. I'm sure you will be a great dad. Also, I have noticed that you tip the dealers after a winning hand and you tip the cashiers when you are cashing out. That is a great move! Love your vlogs, keep it up!
I'm sorry Brad, I feel like crying after watching that ending. I know your old man is watching down on you and will reunite with you in the after life. More success to you and health for your family. I never plan on playing poker professionally but your channel has made me fall in love with the game. Thank you for that.
I’ve said this before. I’ll say this again. Brad, we’ve been on this WILD journey with you and Andrew for years now. There still isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t hope for one of your Vlogs to drop. This is an amazing Vlog today. 🙌🏼🔥
Loved the video and enjoyed the personal touch to the video. I appreciate the fact that you included your family time, as that is something everyone needs to remember to never take for granted. Thank you Brad
Im not crying, you're crying, nice tribute to your dad at the end. My dad passed away 21 years ago. I miss him everyday. As a father of 2, i wish you the best when you have yours.
Your videos are always must watch for me - and always enjoy that you show the good with the bad. I especially liked the tribute to your Dad at the end. I lost my Dad back in 2015 and I always feel that when I’m enjoying that he and I used to enjoy together that he is there with me in spirit. Bravo my friend - im sure you miss your Dad as much as I miss mine. Congrats on the big win - 2024 is gonna be your year !!!
Much love to your mom, brother and you. Family is everything. Let me know if you ever come to Denmark. Lost my dad in the Christmas 2020. Would love to show you the danish culture❤
Hey Brad, this is ipapoker we played together one time at sevenmile with johnnie vibes years ago. Your success has been amazing! Just wanted to say I can tell your dad was an amazing person and he will always live forever through you. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to a lot of people ❤️
I can see the passion coming out of you at the end I could tell this was a special video for you. Glad you got the family time. I am so proud of how far you have came in 5 years. You rocked that table
It's been 8 years since I lost my dad it still always feels like something is missing. I still miss things he cooked or the way he said certain things or watching games and I remember. Last month I took a vacation to see the Saints play away and there was a road that ironically was his name. There will always be something to remind you. Keep making great content Brad and always remember him because like my dad yours made you what you are today.
Such a down to earth UA-camr. Inspired me to start playing poker. I’m always the youngest at the table, but you’ve taught me so much through your videos. I’m also from the Bay Area. Can’t wait to hopefully play against you one day.
Brad I have watched and followed your videos now for awhile. Seeing you from the beginning to getting better and stronger every game. I have to say I am very impressed in your reading ability on people and your bluffing technique. I am sure I will be watching you in the main event someday. If I had to bet not only will I be watching you but you will be the one winning. Watching you has changed my game as well for the better. I am just a recreational player for fun but because of you it's opened my game to better betting and strategies. Thank you and good luck in the future I will definitely be following you all the way! Jay from Tennessee 😎
I moved to Phoenix in 2002. My dad died in 2003. He came out to Phoenix a couple of times. One time we went to the Phoenix Zoo and there are pictures of us there. I just went to the zoo last week and anytime we came up on something that we had taken a picture in front of......it was really special/sad/happy etc.
Yes! A new Brad video makes my lunch interesting. 😊 Edit - Aww Brad, that game scene with your dad, that’s touching. I hope my kids remember me the way you remember him.
Brad man this video is just the perfect summation of you who are, I felt like I’ve just seen every episode all at once and everything that’s important in life all in this one video well done man. 👍
Such a bitter sweet moment Brad! I know your Dad is looking down from high proud as ever of you and all you continue to accomplish! Thank you for always keeping it real of all of us! 💔💔💔
Hey there Brad, from across the pond! This is my first time commenting on your content, but been watching for about 6 months or so. Your content really has helped me tweak my game from the way you talk through your thought process. I really love poker and would love to get to a position where I can play professionally, but funding would really be an issue in the early days. Really enjoy your personal touches, especially your tribute! As a young dad and poker nut, good luck in your soon to be fatherhood and hope to one day take you on for some Bradley dollars! Cheers C
Congrats Brad on the win, spending time with your family. Always a pleasure seeing your latest videos pop up on my feed. I feel you when you reflect on your dad not being there. You’re a man he was proud of for sure.
Glad to see you doing stuff with your family and enjoying your time. I’m sure your father was watching over your enjoying the amazing weekend with you guys. Congrats on the big win and thanks for the amazing content over the years!
You were sprinting on that run, glad to see you took time to catch your breath, and smell the roses. The inevitable part of life is death, Unfortunately presently feeling my mortality with losing a couple of loved one's. Even though you were surrounded in a sea of" Red", All I saw was you enjoying a special moment, and time with your family. Which brought a huge smile and warm feeling, thank you for sharing everything in this Ep 285. Condolences on your father and Congratulations as well. Just my opinion, 1 of the best or best Ep all-around you posted on your platform Mr. Owen
I've noticed that the years I have been watching Bradley Dollars come and go, that your play has gotten better, and more fearless and ruthless. This is a good thing, and notice I said ruthless, and not wreckless. I think that with your continuous upgrade in skill and knowledge, you will eventually be one of the elite. I hope so, as your videos have supplied hours of entertainment for a former player. I don't play anymore, not because I don't enjoy it, I just don't have the wherewithall to be comfortable with risking it. We all have to know our limitations.
I'm a HUGE niners fan as well, Purdy has been a big inspiration to me as a underdog person. Yea you had a amazing run and bluff run. I always tell people in poker, "its not how much you win, but how much you Don't lose" another words, learn to walk away on a bad run. These big runs of good cards don't always happen, but life is like cards, take the good and run with it and enjoy the show/life.
Brad, this could of been one of your most ***epic*** vlog , the minute you had the “California love “ bumpin in the background… you set the tone for a feel good /comedic narrative /absolute heater session / capped with an emotional ending. You have a beautiful family. You’re a lucky guy , o yea you’re also a fairly lucky guy on the felt too! lol like I said ***EPIC***
Honestly all this success couldn’t have happened to a better person. It’s refreshing to see a good, humble person remain the same even after the notoriety and money. Never change. And as a father of two(just had my second two weeks ago) good luck with fatherhood and enjoy it. There’s nothing like it, you’ll make a great father and I know your father would be proud.
Brad, im so very sorry for the loss of your father, i can relate. Its tough, its gotten easier over time but it will never truly be completely easy. Dads are a tough loss, i hope and pray your memories of him help to make his loss easier. God bless bud
Been watching for years Brad and it's been a pleasure seeing the evolution of your career. You're a great representation of a good man and a great poker player. Keep up the great work brother! 🎉
This was an excellent video! Love watching your videos! I moved to Vegas back in 2009, but mostly chickened out on playing live poker after playing online before the crackdown. Keep up the great content! Cool seeing your family and great tribute to your dad! I am sure he is proud from above!
Hey Brad I've been following you for a number of years and I can say that was truly pleasing to see you capitalize on a win like that way to go man you've turned into be one
Great video and much love to you and your family. I lost my madre 3.5 years ago and when was just you and your mom for a family, it’s really tough. Excellent win and go 9ers!
Good old Rohnert park, CA I grew up there and remember when they were building the casino. Everybody talked about how much crime was going to come with a casino.
I lost my father in January 2000 and still have that same void even nearly 24 years later. It's good that you still honor him and keep his memory alive.
Thank you Brad for showing your Father at the end...It brought tears to my eyes....You rock....I was brought up just south of you in Novato. Santa Rosa is my stomping grounds...Maybe some day I'll see you on the felt...Peace.
I have never met you in person but feel like your one of my good friends. Thanks for being so relatable and down to earth. Keep making these amazing vlogs.
This is a masterclass on doing all of the little things right and following gto plus your game own game theory. The positive regression has begun. Congrats
Honest 2-part question- 1. How often do you show your winners(out of generosity, not when required)? Does it depend on how friendly the table is? And 2. How much of an edge do you think that gives your opponent(s)? I noticed at the top of your vlog, you said it was just a high stakes game near your childhood home, not like a meetup game or w/e. Do you ever think you’re “leaving money on the table” as the phrase goes? Or is this more of a “for the vlog, bro!” situation. That ended up being more like 7 questions, my bad lol Regardless, it’s more amazing content and I really appreciate you sharing!! Continued good luck and blessings to you, Brad!
Hey Brad, been watching your videos for a while now. I really enjoy how you break down your thoughts and plays. Was also to great to see your life a little outside of the Poker room. Best of luck on the little on the way. 🙂
Brad since watching you I’ve learned so much just for playing at home games with my buddies the other day I hit quad jiggities in your honor and took my buddy to absolute value town and doubled my stack
Some great plays. Honestly you're one of the only poker vloggers I can watch because some others just play far too loose and I can't help but cringe at certain plays they make. I love your consistent style that really rewards good decision making.
Been watching since episode 20 something. So great to see you killing it on tables 8 times higher than you played in the early years. I find it particularly cool to see that in the early years after a "big win" you'd tip the cage 3 or 4 dollars. Now I see you regularly doing over 20. Very happy to have been along for the ride.
Fun to watch. Gotta admit I got choked up at the end. Made me remember my father. Our memories of parents that have passed keep them connected to us. Thanks for sharing.
The first time I ever played $2-$5, is still to this day the greatest run I’ve ever had. I bought in for the minimum and left with something like $5k of profit. I ran so well, I broke the table with several of the regulars busting to me and walking away because the run good was that good. I probably could have won more but I was playing timid since I was playing a higher stake.
Augies! I recognize this joint immediately! It used to be called the Courthouse Cafe back in the 1980s and I hung out there literally EVERY DAY! Amazing. Still looks exactly the same!
My mum took her own life last week so seeing that end segment has made me quite upset. There has been so much uncertainty since last Monday but I know one day I’ll come to terms with what has happened. Your videos bring me so much joy and I’ll try get watching as soon as I can. Well done on the 5 figure win!
I lose my dad over 2 years ago but it still feels like yesterday. I have family Christmas at my aunt's tomorrow and its not the same without my dad rip dad 8/9/2021
Enjoy this video very much. Loved the personal touches. We get to see the other side of you. Makes it seem more like I'm watching a friend instead of just a vlog.
really enjoyed this episode i took a lil break from some the vlogs super happy this is the one i stumbled back onto especially seeing the heartwarming ending. Run good brad !
I lost my dad when I was 13, so I feel your pain. Cherish your time with your mom while she's still around; I'm sure you are. I lost my mom during Covid. Even though she was 84, the loss is still great, but I know I'll see her and my dad again, just like you will be with your dad again.
brad, I love you're videos. I learn a lot from it. I'm going to Rozvadov in Tsjech republiek (Las Vegas of Europe) and going to join a big tournament with you in my head to stay nice and easy throughout the tournament. also I'm going to join the cash game, it will be my first 2-5 game in my life. its a privilege to see you're vlogs and at the end of this vlog a nice look back to you're biggest fan, you're father. greetings from Holland.
I know the pain of losing a father and it’s not easy, especially when certain scenarios trigger memories. Glad you were able to share a little bit of your personal life besides poker. Great video man, hope 2024 is an awesome year for you on the felt.
I live in Rocklin and back in the day the miners practice field was Sierra college where you could stand at the fence and watch Montana and the other team members practice. Love watching you play and you explaining the strategy. Again your dad would be proud.
I totally feel ya brother, when I go visit family now I’m missing the same piece you are, it’s tough sometimes but they’d want us to keep on keeping on. Thanks for all the great content man and good luck at the tables
Congrats on an awesome session Brad! Great to see you enjoying time with your family! Best wishes to you for great success in 24 as well impending Fatherhood!
Brad, I lost my father around the same time you did. We also had a similar love of sports and gambling. It’s refreshing and comforting to see how someone else handles similar life events. Also as a new father, I wish you happiness with your child on the way!
Brads preggers?😮congrats!🥹
Condolences mate. I lost my mum last October only two months after the birth of my first son. It's hard to think about how she'll miss watching her grandson grow up, but we gotta get through the tough times to be there for the little ones.
@@StneCldKillawhat’s wrong with you bruh
@@mubutukinkekelost my dad November 22 2022 life’s been hell ever since
Pretty sad my family can’t get along just don’t know what happens that we can’t enjoy one day without bickering
The end of the video really hit home. I love seeing the personal touches, it augments the hard work you put into both playing poker and providing entertainment for us. Thanks Brad, keep crushing it in 2024
Amen
Seeing Pop had me crying Bruh 😢
I have learned so much about poker from watching your videos, and I look forward to them every week. I lost my wife to cancer just over a year ago. We were married for almost 31 years. I have empathy and compassion for what you and your Mom are experiencing. It is so difficult. Your videos always brighten my week when I am feeling sad. God bless you and your family and your future son. I wish you the best of luck.
Very nice tribute to your father there at the end. Great video all around, Brad!
The biggest compliment I can give you Brad is that you make poker seem easy. Even in the sessions where nothing goes your way, you make it seem super logical and that helps a lot. Thanks for all the videos!
More so, you keep making it look fun, exciting, interesting and above all else honest! You show success, failure and points in between. You're real!
I remember episode 1, now here we are playing with the big boys on 285. Keep up the good work Brad.
Me too. Seems so long ago
It’s crazy. I didn’t find this channel until about channel 50 but it’s insane how far he’s come.
Brad, thanks for keeping the vlog going... For my friends just getting into Poker, I have them watch your videos to get a better understanding of the evolving dynamics in a hand. You are a legitimate asset to the Poker world. Thanks again, hope to catch you at the tables someday!
Im just a year or two older than you. Lost my dad around 2010. Was one of the hardest things I remember going through. Watching all of your vlogs and seeing you remember your dad in different scenarios, honestly brings me some joy. It reminds me of all the great memories of my dad. 13 years later, its not any different. Not easy, or worse. Still good memories. Thanks for sharing you poker journey, but also sharing the hardest part, life.
Great job Brad, love the tribute to dad at the end, I lost mine 4yrs back and def find myself having that same feeling at times…always good to have those beautiful memories!
This was one of my favorite episodes, Brad. This year will be 20 years since my dad passed away so the tribute to your dad was a nice touch. Love to see these big wins and I get envious because I’m pretty sure this will never happen to me as a rec player playing small stakes who will not likely ever develop into a pro like yourself.
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll run really hot at the Wynn one time and make a couple thousand bucks and have my moment.
Keep up the great content.
I’m so sorry about your dad Brad. I know that must be hard but it’s awesome seeing you and your family be there for and with your mom.
Damn Brad, the clip of your family at the game and your Dad is so very well laid up, Steph Curry would be proud. Always fun to hear your replays of the hands, but this last three-minute stretch makes it all the more worth watching. Family is so very special and memorable moments like that are worth catching on tape. One of your best vlog moments
Niners were my Dads favorite team. He passed in March. I'm rooting for them this year more than ever this year, even though I'm a Dolphins fan.
Really nice ending, glad you got to have dinner and the game with mom. Seeing her eyes light up when you walked into the restaurant..priceless!
Bradley I not only grew up in the Bay (Santa Clara) but have remained a lifelong Niner fan like you. Looks like you had a great day at Levi’s with the family. So important to continue to create memories with them even now as your life is changing with a lil one on the way.

so wonderful to see you doing well. I lost my father almost 3 years ago. wonderful to see you doing so well. You are an example to us all. Keep it up
Brad,Congratulations bro. Not for a winning session. But for just being such a cool guy. You're greatly appreciated.
I can see the passion coming out of you at the end I could tell this was a special video for you. Glad you got the family time. I am so proud of how far you have came in 5 years. You rocked that table

I don't play anymore, not because I don't enjoy it, I just don't have the wherewithall to be comfortable with risking it. We all have to know our limitations.
I'm a HUGE niners fan as well, Purdy has been a big inspiration to me as a underdog person. Yea you had a amazing run and bluff run. I always tell people in poker, "its not how much you win, but how much you Don't lose" another words, learn to walk away on a bad run. These big runs of good cards don't always happen, but life is like cards, take the good and run with it and enjoy the show/life.
Brad, this could of been one of your most ***epic*** vlog , the minute you had the “California love “ bumpin in the background… you set the tone for a feel good /comedic narrative /absolute heater session / capped with an emotional ending. You have a beautiful family. You’re a lucky guy , o yea you’re also a fairly lucky guy on the felt too!
lol like I said
***EPIC***
1:50 That JJ/"I had top house" hand might be my favorite hand I've ever seen on the vlog.
Honestly all this success couldn’t have happened to a better person. It’s refreshing to see a good, humble person remain the same even after the notoriety and money. Never change. And as a father of two(just had my second two weeks ago) good luck with fatherhood and enjoy it. There’s nothing like it, you’ll make a great father and I know your father would be proud.
Brad, im so very sorry for the loss of your father, i can relate. Its tough, its gotten easier over time but it will never truly be completely easy. Dads are a tough loss, i hope and pray your memories of him help to make his loss easier. God bless bud
Been watching for years Brad and it's been a pleasure seeing the evolution of your career. You're a great representation of a good man and a great poker player. Keep up the great work brother! 🎉
This was an excellent video! Love watching your videos! I moved to Vegas back in 2009, but mostly chickened out on playing live poker after playing online before the crackdown. Keep up the great content! Cool seeing your family and great tribute to your dad! I am sure he is proud from above!
Lost my dad two years ago today. Been missing him mightily. Your video really made me smile….for our dads.
Hey Brad I've been following you for a number of years and I can say that was truly pleasing to see you capitalize on a win like that way to go man you've turned into be one
Great video and much love to you and your family. I lost my madre 3.5 years ago and when was just you and your mom for a family, it’s really tough. Excellent win and go 9ers!
This is a video showcasing both running well and playing great! What a champ Brad! Your family and friends must be super pround of you!
Good old Rohnert park, CA I grew up there and remember when they were building the casino. Everybody talked about how much crime was going to come with a casino.
I lost my father in January 2000 and still have that same void even nearly 24 years later. It's good that you still honor him and keep his memory alive.
Thank you Brad for showing your Father at the end...It brought tears to my eyes....You rock....I was brought up just south of you in Novato. Santa Rosa is my stomping grounds...Maybe some day I'll see you on the felt...Peace.
I have never met you in person but feel like your one of my good friends. Thanks for being so relatable and down to earth. Keep making these amazing vlogs.
This is a masterclass on doing all of the little things right and following gto plus your game own game theory. The positive regression has begun. Congrats
I’ve watched hundreds of your videos, but this was the first one to have me tear up at the end.
Keep being a great person ❤
Honest 2-part question-
1. How often do you show your winners(out of generosity, not when required)? Does it depend on how friendly the table is?
And 2. How much of an edge do you think that gives your opponent(s)?
I noticed at the top of your vlog, you said it was just a high stakes game near your childhood home, not like a meetup game or w/e. Do you ever think you’re “leaving money on the table” as the phrase goes? Or is this more of a “for the vlog, bro!” situation.
That ended up being more like 7 questions, my bad lol
Regardless, it’s more amazing content and I really appreciate you sharing!! Continued good luck and blessings to you, Brad!
Hey Brad, been watching your videos for a while now. I really enjoy how you break down your thoughts and plays. Was also to great to see your life a little outside of the Poker room.
Best of luck on the little on the way. 🙂
Brad since watching you I’ve learned so much just for playing at home games with my buddies the other day I hit quad jiggities in your honor and took my buddy to absolute value town and doubled my stack
Some great plays. Honestly you're one of the only poker vloggers I can watch because some others just play far too loose and I can't help but cringe at certain plays they make. I love your consistent style that really rewards good decision making.
Been watching since episode 20 something. So great to see you killing it on tables 8 times higher than you played in the early years. I find it particularly cool to see that in the early years after a "big win" you'd tip the cage 3 or 4 dollars. Now I see you regularly doing over 20. Very happy to have been along for the ride.
Fun to watch. Gotta admit I got choked up at the end. Made me remember my father. Our memories of parents that have passed keep them connected to us. Thanks for sharing.
The first time I ever played $2-$5, is still to this day the greatest run I’ve ever had. I bought in for the minimum and left with something like $5k of profit. I ran so well, I broke the table with several of the regulars busting to me and walking away because the run good was that good. I probably could have won more but I was playing timid since I was playing a higher stake.
Great intro brad love the music
Augies! I recognize this joint immediately! It used to be called the Courthouse Cafe back in the 1980s and I hung out there literally EVERY DAY! Amazing. Still looks exactly the same!
Its amazing to see an amazing start to the year for you brad! Love from Washington ❤
Your work is incredible and it comes from your heart as we can all see. So enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Definitely Your best video EVER! Good Luck Brad
My mum took her own life last week so seeing that end segment has made me quite upset. There has been so much uncertainty since last Monday but I know one day I’ll come to terms with what has happened. Your videos bring me so much joy and I’ll try get watching as soon as I can. Well done on the 5 figure win!
Brad, your father would be proud of the great man he raised. I wish you continued success.
Dude... Right in the feels. Loved this one, and congrats on the 5 figure win.
I lose my dad over 2 years ago but it still feels like yesterday. I have family Christmas at my aunt's tomorrow and its not the same without my dad rip dad 8/9/2021
Enjoy this video very much. Loved the personal touches. We get to see the other side of you. Makes it seem more like I'm watching a friend instead of just a vlog.
What an emotional roller coaster. Probably my favourite vlog of all time.
Exactly the hand I played twice in a row an won both. A9 suited.
Great video! I enjoyed the personal family stuff at the end. 😊
really enjoyed this episode i took a lil break from some the vlogs super happy this is the one i stumbled back onto especially seeing the heartwarming ending. Run good brad !
Awesome, been watching for years. Wonderful tribute to your father at the end of the video.
Nice video Brad, thank you. I wish you all the best and a happy new year full of more great runs and great times with your family.
Love it! Great video. RIP to your dad.
What a good looking family. Very happy for you Brad been watching for a long time and your videos are always a great part of my week
I lost my dad when I was 13, so I feel your pain. Cherish your time with your mom while she's still around; I'm sure you are. I lost my mom during Covid. Even though she was 84, the loss is still great, but I know I'll see her and my dad again, just like you will be with your dad again.
brad, I love you're videos. I learn a lot from it. I'm going to Rozvadov in Tsjech republiek (Las Vegas of Europe) and going to join a big tournament with you in my head to stay nice and easy throughout the tournament. also I'm going to join the cash game, it will be my first 2-5 game in my life. its a privilege to see you're vlogs and at the end of this vlog a nice look back to you're biggest fan, you're father. greetings from Holland.
Way awesome episode…your family seems cool!!
I know the pain of losing a father and it’s not easy, especially when certain scenarios trigger memories. Glad you were able to share a little bit of your personal life besides poker. Great video man, hope 2024 is an awesome year for you on the felt.
I live in Rocklin and back in the day the miners practice field was Sierra college where you could stand at the fence and watch Montana and the other team members practice. Love watching you play and you explaining the strategy. Again your dad would be proud.
Wow, that's amazing. That would've been so cool to see.
Good to see a run good session in high stakes. Thanks again for your message for my channel for the Korean viewers when I ran into you at the Wynn.
Dream session Brad!
Nice intro, grabbed our attention real quick.
I totally feel ya brother, when I go visit family now I’m missing the same piece you are, it’s tough sometimes but they’d want us to keep on keeping on. Thanks for all the great content man and good luck at the tables
Man, you hit me with the "somethings missing" hard. I always feel the same way about Christmas after I lost my mom. Much
Congrats on an awesome session Brad! Great to see you enjoying time with your family! Best wishes to you for great success in 24 as well impending Fatherhood!
You’re the best at what you do Brad!
