To answer why I didn’t top off: The Aces hand frustrated me enough to know bad things were likely coming if I topped off immediately. To me at the time, the whole thing was just stupid, the preflop action, the bad river, to splitting the pot even if I won. I was going to top off after I got over it, but then after going up and down with my small stack, I realized I was trading being tilted with a lack of patience and so I decided to get up and call it a day. Cheers and thanks for watching
I was recently guided to play 2/5 due to that pocket AA situation. I personally would of re raised to $120 if I was the other AA guy to get the J10 out. Nice vid showing bad beats can come.
Tough break with the aces. I don’t blame you for not topping off, if you’re not feeling it then there’s no reason to put more money into a bad situation. Well done, well disciplined, and as always I’m grateful for the content. Looking forward to more.
Pumping out content again. So glad you're back bro. Hope to see you at Seven Mile again soon. I would love to see a vlog of that crazy place. It's unique to every other place I've played. Jamul is very tight compared to Seven Mile. It's a challenging place to adjust to
Your new vlogs reflect an exponential increase in the quality of your play. Congrats. This video was also incredibly funny, with lines like "my pittance of a stack." Poker vlogging meets dime-store detective novel dialogue. Love it -- the most human, down-to-earth, and relatable poker vlog.
Love your vlog. Your voiceovers are spot on and the table footage is real clean. Gonna play the $500 freezeout in a couple of weeks. Should be a big one.
Gotta top off on a table like that. One player smooth calls with AA in single-raised pot and another goes all in with six clean outs to a strait. Good game.
It's amazing how entertaining you make lower stakes poker and, by lower stakes, it's still more than I play at so it's not a critique at all). Please keep up the great work! :)
Dude you are knocking out some great vlogs! I ordered a coin. 20 minutes after I ordered I got a text it was already shipped with a tracking number. So fast! Thanks Cato.
Banging out the content! You are really working hard. I'm showing my appreciation by hitting the like and leaving a comment on every vlog. You deserve it! Very smart to get up and leave when you're not 100% in the zone to play your best. Looking forward to seeing how things go for you in LV. I'm sending good vibes your way young man!
Good to see you back in action. Life always throws us bad beats but we always come back. I play here in Arizona as you may remember me, this year going to play 1500 deep stack and the 1000 senior. last October a good poker friend of mine won the senior event and it great to see that. Keep it going may see you in Vegas.
Top Stuff pal, but have u ever thought of going out to some of the other San Diego casinos for some blogs. Ocean's eleven, Seven Mile or even up to LA, you are certainly good enough to crush elsewhere now 👍
The guy across from you with the tattoos "Tee", is super cool guy. In the Bulls jersey. I've played with him dozens of times at multiple casinos. He's pretty good 👍
download the app poker atlas, and it will show you all the tournaments at all the casinos for those days. Very helpful. Probably good stuff at WSOP, Venetian and Wynn at least. If I were you, I would try to satty into the $2200 Wynn Mystery Bounty. GL
Love the vlogs man, but why on earth don't you reload at 6:39 with $ 98 in your stack. If you don't feel it that session just leave man, otherwise reload and maybe get stacks in with a good hand to bounce back. Good luck.
That other knit didn't raise with Aces in the small blind. That cost you both pot. Let 9-10 off make a straight for no reason. That nonsense steams me.
no he screwed himself, 2 all in's in front of u and all u have is one pair(all be it the best pair, aces) only 1 pair is most of the time not good facing 2 all in ins. In this case it was a tie at the moment of all in. I would have folded on the flop. Can't rely on other players playing their hands correctly, in fact I want people to just flat call with aces when i raise pre so I can have the chance of out drawing them. Not re raising with aces pre flop is not the correct way to play and I want my opponents to do the wrong thing.
@@TheGreat1Four20 The not raising preflop with AA was what I was referring to. I agree he could've folded on the flop after the two others went all in. Just sucks to have to lose your stack when it should've been a clean AA vs AA 5 bet/all in preflop runout.
@@Lekiamh I know what u were referring to, I'm saying in the long run u want your opponents to not re raise u with aces because not doing so is a huge mistake especially in lo stakes poker like 1-3, it just sucks that a sucker called a raise pre flop with 10-9 off suit and got lucky, real players don't mind when they lose a pot because someone played incorrectly and also like I said he could have folded his aces on the flop because I would have, I know better than to call 2 all ins in front of me with just one pair after a flop in lo stakes poker games. because in the long run we know we win money because of the mistakes and incorrect play of our opponents. I do not want my opponents playing their pocket aces correctly. In the video u see him after that hand telling the guy he should have re raised his aces, and I mean why educate your opponent on how to play correctly. NEVER do that! just remain silent and know they play bad and understand sometimes things go wrong and understand u will win in the long run if u play correctly and your opponents make mistake after mistake.
The 10 9 off was terrible over call, Could have been there with 6 clean outs which may still not have been good. Poker is still alive and well. Lot of easy money to be made out there
My dude you cant be to mad about the guy not re raising pre flop with his aces because in the long run you want your opponents to make the incorrect decisions. Really u should have just folded on the flop because most of the time only having 1 pair is not gonna be good vs 2 all ins in front of u. If u say u want him to re raise pre with his aces, then you are asking your opponents to play correctly. In the long run I want my opponents to just flat call me preflop when they have aces and I raise in front of them. It gives me a chance to to outdraw them at my raising price. For example, if i have pocket 5's and I open, Of course I want pocket aces to just flat call me preflop because If they re raise me I gotta either fold or set mine for a higher price.

Cracked aces hand was painful. Although a losing sesh, solid playing and you knew when it was time to get up. Can’t wait for the next vid
Thank you for keeping it real! Good hand analysis and video quality. That’s what counts the most. Great to see more content from you!!
Good to have you back!

Tough break with the pocket aces. It's a strong hand even with that flop out there. Thanks for the content!

The Beast is Back!

Sadly they don't let me. The only other place nearby that allows me to vlog is Hustler Casino. I would love to though, especially 7 Mile.
The guy across from you with the tattoos "Tee", is super cool guy. In the Bulls jersey. I've played with him dozens of times at multiple casinos. He's pretty good 👍
Yep, he is a good dude. I always say hi to him when I see him.
@@PokerBEAST 😂
why did you take a long break?
I love this guy!
Pumping out more content than Arnold Schwarzenegger bench pressing!
Had a good time watching, Beast!💲🃏💲Cheers! \|/
Keep grinding son those cracked AA I been there…..we go again Kayto out…boom
With 50ish BB you definitely want to get it all in preflop w/ AK.
Your commentating gives me life bro lmfao
Man I was sweating you got lucky
Crazy to see people trapping with AA's... that player got what they deserved, but you ended up as the collateral damage
Why no adding on when you were down?
Good video. 👍
Heading to vegas from the 17 to the 21 any advice in good tournaments?
download the app poker atlas, and it will show you all the tournaments at all the casinos for those days. Very helpful. Probably good stuff at WSOP, Venetian and Wynn at least.
If I were you, I would try to satty into the $2200 Wynn Mystery Bounty.

Hey Cato, how long do you usually play at the poker table?
prob 4-8 hours at a time.
More vids please!!!!!!
Those suck outs I thought only happen on line.
Love the vlogs man, but why on earth don't you reload at 6:39 with $ 98 in your stack.
If you don't feel it that session just leave man, otherwise reload and maybe get stacks in with a good hand to bounce back.

He has answered that question, see pinned comment :)
That other knit didn't raise with Aces in the small blind. That cost you both pot. Let 9-10 off make a straight for no reason. That nonsense steams me.
Can't blame you for the A,A's, I would've gone all in too. There's no way any poker player can fold with A,A.
Can’t believe small blind didn’t raise pre with the aces , out of position letting UTG in.
How come you aren’t topping off anymore?
Good decision to leave. You lost the min IMO. Smart play. When you're not feeling it, it's best to leave. GG.
Nothing worse than when someone else’s poor play costs you money. Especially in all in situations.
That dude with the other AA screwed you big time. I would have tilted so bad after that nonsense
no he screwed himself, 2 all in's in front of u and all u have is one pair(all be it the best pair, aces) only 1 pair is most of the time not good facing 2 all in ins.

@@TheGreat1Four20 that's a valid point and I agree. Just wanted to clarify what I meant
Good
The sb trying to trap cost him stacks smh
T9 off is the player you want at the table, despite the outcome
The guy with Aces messed up
The 10 9 off was terrible over call, Could have been there with 6 clean outs which may still not have been good. Poker is still alive and well. Lot of easy money to be made out there
71 $ stack poker ♥️
My dude you cant be to mad about the guy not re raising pre flop with his aces because in the long run you want your opponents to make the incorrect decisions.

the 9/10 call all in with just and 8 or K outs is dumb and will get him overall. Yes he won but still not a good call. Guess he had $$ to burn

You consistently quit too quickly. You're easily shaken. Rebuy and go for maximum value
Why are you not topping off your stack to $300 in a game with bad players?
Stop being results oriented. You beat the open ended draw the majority of the time, and you wouldn't be complaining then.
If you can't top up to 300 you really should not be playing poker
Are you rolled to cover the table? Stop playing short stacked.
