Hey Ethan! I just want to say since I started watching your videos, I went from losing 75% of the time in 1/2, to now losing 95% of the time in 5/10. Sure, I owe Fat Tony so much money I had to send my mom into hiding, but I am still hopeful as I write this with a smile on my face and a Louisville Slugger broken arm ;)
@@RampagePoker LMAO in all seriousness, love your content and keep up the tourney grind. I know a lot of people like cash game footage but they can get that from EVERY single other Plogger so the change of pace is nice.
I'm the old school @C G on UA-cam! One of the 5 winners of the $1000 give away you did over a year ago! I never comment on your videos but just wanted to congratulate you on how far you've come since that little give away you did! Who would of ever thought you would be sitting here playing against these names! Good job bro!!!
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you last night in Tampa thank you for the photo! The internet “pros” can say whatever want but do not have anywhere near the success you have on or off the felt. I love and appreciate your transparency throughout your UA-cam career of all the poker vlogs I follow yours is the most genuine, raw, and passionate making it the most enjoyable compared to others imo. You’ll have much success in your future just be keen to cancel out the “noise”.
Aloha Ethan, you are living your dream playing poker, traveling, and learning day by day playing cash games and tournaments. Never mind about the haters and their negative feedback. Keep up the great work and videos!!
I see a lot of folks bashing on Ethan here. Anonymous poker 'experts'. Ethan does make some bad plays. He also makes some good plays. He has a couple of rings from WSOP, and he has done well in a few other tournaments as well and that is better than most of us. Tournament poker is a mixture of luck and skill. Sometimes, you have a take a chance. You try and limit those chances and to take the ones that lean towards you, but you do have to take that chance sometimes if you want to win. I have won a few smaller tournaments. You don't win by always having the best hand. His vlogs are honest. We all get to see the bad choices that most of us would edit out if we were vlogging it....lol. There is a difference between giving him feedback and just being a d***. Some of you are being d's. And even if he does not play perfect GTO poker, his style works for him overall. His wildness gets him paid off when he does have a big hand. IMO, his weakest spot is not tournaments, it is high stakes cash on a stream. I think he feels like he has to put on a show when it is being streamed and it frequently costs him dearly. //cheers
Well put. I love his transparency. Yes, "sometimes you have to take a chance... you don't win by always having the best hand". His skill set is great and getting better. One day, he will be amongst the pros he looks up to. He is the best Poker Vlog easily! @Rampage Keep going strong!
I think the experience you’re getting by playing with the best in the world is invaluable! I would’ve been super impressed if you cashed this field and made a run. Keep grinding!
@John Hennessy none, but it doesn’t make our observation invalid. I play cash mostly and Ethan does similar mistakes in these games as well. If he would fix these leaks I am sure he would be a much more profitable player.
heads up young man, except for one or two hands you played exceptionally well. Grabbing 3 bounties made it a relatively reasonable schooling. You deserve to be sitting at those tables. Heal and grow stronger. Peace 😎
When you got excited about binking the 6, it made me think, how many times do you sometimes have to re-record the voice overs and be fake excited over and over hahah. #bts
That was a gutsy call early in the game, with only Ace high beating the King high bluff. I was very impressed. If he had K2 instead, you'd been done a lot sooner. Peace.
I just got my aces cracked on the money bubble of a tournament I played. If you want to cuss and vent THEN YOU CAN! I feel the exact same way when I lose. That be my favorite part of the video. If you not a tournament grinder then you don't know the feeling. Keep doing you bro
you can always see the clear disappointment when you bust out, well we all make that walk of shame and replay hands in our heads for a while after. The hurt is real
I’m pretty sure on the QJ offsuit hand, your last hand, that you’re supposed to fold to an EP or MP raise, even with 6 BB’s remaining in your stack. Now if it was folded to you in the HJ with that hand, then you are allowed to jam.
I don’t know why he plays his same style regardless of format, turbos like this you should be treating every table like a final table, all about chip preservation
The QJ hand with 6bb facing a raise is a fold. You have no fold equity and your opponent at worst will be flipping but often will be 60/40 or 70/30 against you
To be honest, I would have felt far more comfortable shoving with QJ off than A6 off. Being so close to the money and going out sucks, but you could have gone out with no bounties and been stuck $10K. Only being down $1000 in that scenario is pretty close to a 'win' IMO
Exactly, id do the same and wouldnt go all in with A6... as i said in a previous comment ive witnessed QJ beat stronger hands so many times while Pocket Ks lose more often..
Why you guys getting excited about Phil Ivey? Don't you know hes a notorious asshole to dealers in general, especially Craps dealers? He reserves table, plays like the most entitled person in the world, AND doesn't tip.
That last hand the other dude flopped the nut flush, just so you know and can feel slightly better.. He didn't have off suit cards, both were hearts. GGs, at least you got those bounties
I don't mind the QJ shove there. I tend to get sticky when short which I think works out better for my mindset, but that move was almost compulsory for you. :)
Hey Rampage dont be gutted for going all in with QJ, thats what anyone would do at that situation.. well thats what id do, ive been in same situation in a poker tournament lately my QJ vs AJ , a Q showed up at the turn when my opponent was celebrating lol i beat him n take the pot then he acted like a baby 😂😅, ull get it next time with QJ u have no idea how many times ive seen it beat higher/stronger hands while losing with pocket Ks is so common... i just subbed, cool content GL 🍀
A-10 vs A-J hand was one where you should have folded. Instead of going for the 3K bounty holding on to some chips for a better spot would have been a better choice.
Fold QJ, he's not raise folding for 6bb...and you are almost never ever ahead and only flipping small percentage of the time. Make the action when short, don't call it.
QJ in that spot, I MIGHT go all In if it wasn’t already raised or limped. But I wouldn’t go all in after somebody else already raised. ESP from early position.
you still playing the cash game mentality with A10 there in late position facing MP all in. Stack preservation = only goal in tournaments, take the high variance when you actually have range advantage to shoves or it won't affect >30% of your stack.
Never been in a bounty tournament before how does it work for payouts if you take someone’s bounty’s do you keep it the whole time or if someone knocks you out do they get all of the bounty’s you made?
It really was better than what you been doing now that you have your card holder I think it helped a little bit build a little more confidence anyway 👍
A10 hand is such an easy fold for 15BB shove from a MP player in this format.... Chip preservation in a tourney like this is so imperative. QJ at the end was a fold as well. Onto the next one Mr Rampunts
Glad I didn't have to scroll too far down so I didn't write the same thing. I'm literally crying out, "whhhhyyy?". What do I know? He's done far more/better in poker than I will even imagine. IMO, that kinda play is what has made him wild and successful at cash, but likely crushed his bankroll for the wsop. Over the long run, those moves will catch up. It's fun to see him suck out, and I appreciate the bold moves, but when you put your tourney/bankroll at risk when truly questionable at best...Oh well. He'll make the $10k back on this vlog alone...likely.
Good luck on the next run.....keep your head up..you did kind!and of Good..even if the AT call was kinda pushing iy..after losing the first all in to A9
You're getting your ass whooped so bad. I know you're going to be a completely different player by the end of the year. Trust the process Ethan. You gotta lose money to learn.
Honestly, I love your footage and your content and your funny way of presenting poker, but I urge you, get some preflop tournament charts. Assuming at least average opponents (which should be reasonable in a 10k buy-in event) and just one bounty to win: A10o in the SB is a clear fold. Q8o in the BB is a clear fold. QJo in the CO is a clear fold. Good luck at the tables!
Once you have a good stack size, and not too far from the money, there is absolutely no reason why you should be calling an all in with A10 or any marginal hand. By round 12, most of the players that remain are not going to jam with marginal hands, so if you are calling it off, you are guaranteed to be behind with your marginal hands. I just think you would win way more if you could change this one thing. Other than that, great job!
A couple of pips? Playing the currency market too? High variance is good but you must have proper sizing. I might not know what I’m taking about, you tell me. 🍀

I would probably have folded my way into the money if possible or picked up a pair. No shame in folding for $13K
I would’ve def folded the q8 and qj to hold on until the money
Great tourney vlog, has to feel cool to be in there with all the named guys.
Everyone’s a crusher and I’m just recording the experience
@@RampagePoker well we appreciate you taking us along for the experience :)

Those hero calls when made correctly is like the best drug.
WSOP tournament always give Ethan great experience. Playing with the best player always important.
Hey, luck box was in effect early! The Q-J was a must all-in, you played it correctly if your playing to win.
I may be in the minority, but I’m really enjoying your tournament videos. It gives good insight into tournament life.
Tournalents r much more fun and intense and the ranking adds more thrill to it..
Q8o isn't a defense on the bb in that hand considering ICM you have to defend considerably tighter, and QJo is a huge punt
Even thought it’s pko, 6 bb still has enough fold equity to shove cutoff with qj off close to bubble. It’s think gto says it’s fine
It's not a pko
@@jesperingebrigtsen7980 also, he has 0 fold equity vs the open
I echo a previous commentor, your openess is the big attraction.
you can always see the clear disappointment when you bust out, well we all make that walk of shame and replay hands in our heads for a while after. The hurt is real
I’m pretty sure on the QJ offsuit hand, your last hand, that you’re supposed to fold to an EP or MP raise, even with 6 BB’s remaining in your stack. Now if it was folded to you in the HJ with that hand, then you are allowed to jam.
I don’t know why he plays his same style regardless of format, turbos like this you should be treating every table like a final table, all about chip preservation
Ethan is the kind of player to hero call with ten high lol
He has very low poker iq basically playing bingo ...
T high is good sometimes right
The QJ hand with 6bb facing a raise is a fold. You have no fold equity and your opponent at worst will be flipping but often will be 60/40 or 70/30 against you
@19:36 It isn't Ace High but Straight with the 6 in your hand.
And the last hand AJ hearts is somehow AJ off suit
Great play in the end you have to make perfect shoves when your not stacked up.
19:33 Ace High holds! ...or it rivers a straight. Same thing.
To be honest, I would have felt far more comfortable shoving with QJ off than A6 off. Being so close to the money and going out sucks, but you could have gone out with no bounties and been stuck $10K. Only being down $1000 in that scenario is pretty close to a 'win' IMO
Exactly, id do the same and wouldnt go all in with A6... as i said in a previous comment ive witnessed QJ beat stronger hands so many times while Pocket Ks lose more often..
QJo is a fold, but a push if it folds to you there, that ATo call was the big mistake tho me thinks. Overall amazing, keep it up!
Hold your head high, the bounties really helped and PHIL IVEY!!! That’s awesome.
Why you guys getting excited about Phil Ivey? Don't you know hes a notorious asshole to dealers in general, especially Craps dealers? He reserves table, plays like the most entitled person in the world, AND doesn't tip.
No complaints about being able to play with the. Legend phil
That last hand the other dude flopped the nut flush, just so you know and can feel slightly better.. He didn't have off suit cards, both were hearts. GGs, at least you got those bounties
Ethan, Did I hear correctly that there is a 10% rake? That seems extremely high to me. Is that normal?
Keep grinding bro. F the haters and the negativity.

Wow! You got to the tournament on time.
level 17 you said you had ace high but i believe you had a straight! Amazing video either way
There was no A9 on that flop at 16:15 how did you win xd
A-10 vs A-J hand was one where you should have folded. Instead of going for the 3K bounty holding on to some chips for a better spot would have been a better choice.
I agree
Agreed
Fold QJ, he's not raise folding for 6bb...and you are almost never ever ahead and only flipping small percentage of the time. Make the action when short, don't call it.
19:33
Ahhh, you hit a straight not Ace high. 🤫🤫🤫😂
min 19.44 you won with a straight right? not Ace high?
I'm yelling FOOOOOOOLD with AT. Somewhere between me and you is a very good poker player. I'm too nitty.
Cool vlog n bro ya Phil ivy how cool is that . Sorry ya lost ya last play here .
Ethan I think you should stick to cash games which is your strength
@19:34 you win with A6 and announce "Ace high is gonna win", except it didn't. A 4-8 straight won. Heh.
QJ in that spot, I MIGHT go all
In if it wasn’t already raised or limped. But I wouldn’t go all in after somebody else already raised. ESP from early position.
you actually had a straight with that A6, but ace high is good too :P
I can’t believe how much wsop content you recorded. It’ll last until next wsop!
you still playing the cash game mentality with A10 there in late position facing MP all in. Stack preservation = only goal in tournaments, take the high variance when you actually have range advantage to shoves or it won't affect >30% of your stack.
Keep your head up champ! You’ll get the next one!
On the first KK hand I laughed when the ace came but was super happy with the king.
With the A6 hand you have hit the straight. Also with in the last hand he didn’t have AJo but AJs and flopped the nuts.
You’re pretty good post flop do you need to jam and flip that often?
Nice play against foxen, easy to get intimidated and just call there.
With only 6bb, you don't have much re-shove fold-equity, so you need to fold alot when someone has already opened.
You played well. Only one bad decision was the A10 all in, but still solid playing.
They don’t call him lucky chewy for nothing 🤣
19:34 ace high is good but you have a straight lol
Man I absolutely love your videos and how transparent you are. Stay who you are and how you play brother and good luck.
Appreciate you a ton devlin

Never been in a bounty tournament before how does it work for payouts if you take someone’s bounty’s do you keep it the whole time or if someone knocks you out do they get all of the bounty’s you made?
You only lose your own one bounty chip when you get knocked out, you get to cash the ones you got from busting others.
only if it's a weird progressive format. They get your original bounty in this one, but you keep the three other bounties.
6bb with qj with a raise in front, fold and u have like 7 hands free to see before next bb right?
It really was better than what you been doing now that you have your card holder I think it helped a little bit build a little more confidence anyway 👍
Timestamp 19:30 is a straight and not ace High Winning the hand, even though it would have 😉

How do you not have a sponsorship deal? So entertaining! You need an agent 😉
Damn nice run. I think folding AT to AJ would've made a big difference though. Not sure if it was worth gambling in that spot either.
This clown has no patience ...
I would Jam with QJ with 6 big blinds. Really great result. Head high soldier
I think the QJ and A10 were folds even when your taking a ton of spots
The AJ also
One of your most well played tournaments
Was weird that the next shown hand after the bluff catch, you peel the same 2 sixes that were on that board.
Ethan, if it was on ACR. You definitely would of saw a 9 or 96% of the time an Ace on the river for sure with that set of 6's three way all in.
Good luck on the next run.....keep your head up..you did kind!and of Good..even if the AT call was kinda pushing iy..after losing the first all in to A9
First big hand when you had nut str8 and nut flush draw you should of gone hard and strong bottom set likely folds.
last hand, the guy flopped nut flush. at least it was quick.
On balance it's worth sometimes waiting even with 6 blinds... Maybe
You're getting your ass whooped so bad. I know you're going to be a completely different player by the end of the year. Trust the process Ethan. You gotta lose money to learn.
I'm folding Jack's with 2 all ins ahead of me I wonder how the action went bit these guys have millions and I guess they're going for the win
When you had the ace 6 you had a straight and when he had ace jack it looked like he flopped the nut flush

I fold Ace 10 and I jam with Queen Jack. Also, outstanding 3 betting the pro with an all in on the flop. That was a great play.
