  • It's always been a dream of mine to make a deep run in the World Series of Poker. Can I make it a reality?
    The Brantzen Poker Vlog documents my journey as a poker player in Southern California. SUBSCRIBE to share the highs and lows with me as I continue to build a bankroll, and hopefully move up in stakes.

      My last 3 multi day tourneys had me exit same way....big pair AA or KK losing huge pot to a low flopped set. It's frustrating but maybe im just not good enough to lay big overpaid down on the turn to a disconnected board.

      @@BrantzenPoker I don’t know how different you can play that. Maybe a higher raise preflop and flop but there’s a ton of hands that he’s gonna do the same thing with. 910, sevens. Hands that QQ are dominating. You have to play that somewhat risky in order to get paid. Taking down the blinds is nice but a double up is better.

    What are you yapping about in that AQ hand. Your out of position so you decide to check? As the preflop aggressor on a range bet board? Then you donk river and get paid bc they have an ace that would have paid you off on a triple barrel anyway?

    12:10 the small cbet is a mistake. You've flopped well against a very good opponent. You don't want to bet small and keep his range super wide on the turn. You don't want to be guessing too much against someone like deeb. Gotta bet 25-30k on the flop to get his range. I'd say you didn't get unlucky, you just plain played bad.
