Brad, the hand commentary with Rampage was really good. I think you're onto something there and would like to see more of that with your table mates who are poker pros, fellow bloggers or solid rec players who understand the fundamentals and can discuss the hand well. Really dig your channel and blog. Keep up the killer work!
I second that. That was an amazing discussion. Nice to see the thought process of both players and presented in such a friendly energetic way despite the high stakes. Excellent work!
Thank you for talking about bankroll management at the end! Too many players who aren’t disciplined and/or knowledgeable about bankroll management make some really big mistakes when it comes to taking shots at larger games with money they can’t actually afford to lose. Great vlog as always!
He did a great video with the late legend Mike Sexton about all that. But glad he talked about it because it can get the inexperienced the wrong frame of mind.
Great video and what a crazy session. I was hoping that 10k bet would get called and you would get the biggest win ever… I have a feeling it’s coming soon. Great fold on the Jiggities hand as I know you hate folding them. 😎💯
I like your honesty. Putting out quality videos is not a free ride as a ton of time and work goes into that. It's really just a service to us, and a tribute to the poker community.
Brad I'm just starting out playing poker at 1/2. Not even in the same realm as you but I'm learning alot from your videos and hand break downs, not to mention the hope of actually getting better as we can see your actual growth. Congrats in life brother, your kindness is infectious!
How’s it going? Did you move up the stakes or still playing 1/2 and 1/3? I recently just moved up to 2/5 and 5/10 and it’s definitely on a different level lol donks bluff with air all the time..
I love the candor when it comes to your source of income. I know your heart is still one of a poker player, even if you make the large majority from UA-cam. The bankroll management advice is solid.
@@BradOwenPoker But youtube is solid constant revenue, and you are growing your brand/helping people along the way - I think it's much better than going all-in on poker, more organic and diversified growth. Love the content.
I love what you did at the end there Brad. Just shows your heart is bigger than your ego. Some sound advice without overstating it for the younger players. Much much respect
So glad to hear about a solid YT revenue, Brad! My altruistic side is super happy for you, being well compensated for providing your fans with a great product... and my selfish side is just happy to hear it's not profitable for you to quit the vlog!
That was good of you to mention at the end that you are making a lot of money outside of playing poker and that you are working within an acceptable budget.
I love the honesty at the end. Anyone who does some research can see how much you make from youtube - especially during the pandemic. And we know you're just a good guy expanding your enterprises. Making video content takes so much time!
@@FalconMidget A general estimate I've seen for CPM on youtube videos is $7 per 1000 views, Brad gets upwards of 500k views on every video and releases 4/5 videos per month. Then add in merch sales, endorsements and investments and it's safe to say Brad's doing okay for himself - which he deserves because the content is great and he seems like a good guy.
Dude I feel crushed losing 100-600 dollars at the casino, and you’re out there battling when down 5k+ HUGE inspiration to keep playing poker. Thanks for the upload Brad!
Dear Brad. I like to thank you for lifting up my game with you vlogs. I watched many many vlogs while in lockdown and I can honestly say my game is so much better then before. I am playing poker for over 10 years but my win rate significant went up lately.
I really appreciate you getting in to your decision to play these stakes. The honesty really helps and your authenticity enhances your videos. Thanks for sharing!
This might have been my favorite video of them all! I love the combo of Livestream footage and post-stream standard style stuff, the bits with Rampage and especially when you talk about the macro stuff like how poker isn't your only source of income but how it would be different if it was. Amazing work, can't wait for the next 200 episodes!!!!
Another great video! I've watched all of your videos over the past month and remain extremely impressed with your growth as a player. You have definitely taught me alot about how to think about hands and ranges and I appreciate your humility while doing so. I am in San Antonio and look forward to some day meeting you someday soon at the Lodge
What I really like about brads videos is that they are real. It’s not just a highlight reel. He’s self deprecating when he plays it wrong. This makes his videos unpredictable and fun to watch.
Very happy to see your growth and success. I’ve been watching since the early days! It is definitely in my bucket list to make a trip to the Lodge! Congratulations on your accomplishments
You and Ethan have been pushing hard at high stakes games and I have ultimate respect for you both.. lots of $ at play to "improve your game" but it's gotta happen some time if you guys are to ever compete with super high roller players.. millionaires.. we all know you're not there yet.. thanks for explaining that at the end. The mindset to play would be hard to gain and keep level headed. Easy to go broke. The effort you put into your videos is outstanding and it shows in your success. Love ya
I don't play poker either, but I do participate in other competitive endeavors. Watching these videos, I find that there's a lot of skills I can study which cross-over from poker: remaining disciplined, learning to deal with bad beats, always improving ones skills, believing in my own abilities, etc. While I would like to play a few hands of poker someday, I'm not sure I would ever play seriously - I simply don't have the time, energy, and risk tolerance to fully immerse myself in the game.
As somebody who took 4 months away from the felt to just study and reset my mind stop playing 72 game and play poker. You're the best and the inspiration for many of us as poker players. We're poker players not 72 players. Don't let that stuff throw you off man we appreciate your vlogs keeping us going in tough times.
yeah, the issue is - if you have no gamble, no one wants you in the good games. of course, you could agree to participate in the 72 game, but then just fold your 72 when you get it . . . if it wasn't a live stream where the entire planet can watch you do it. so, not really an option. if you act like the OMC of the game, there won't be a seat for you the next time.
A lot of people seem to not realize that I won $6k at the end of this vlog because of the 72 game. I personally don't like the game much and don't think it's necessary but if the table wants to play it, I'm never going to object. It's not that often that you run into backdoor quads.
When guy suddenly from outta nowhere getting aggressive he either have nuts or close to it or air and i totally get Brad call he was just running into incredibly disguised monster which is mega rare
Yooooo bro!! I don’t understand this but why am I super sweating your hands out hoping for you to win to the point where my stomach is all twisted up and everything!!! It’s honestly crazy and I believe it’s because your such a cool and humble person that I can’t help but root for you and your success every single hand and vlog. I was sick after episode 200’s massive loss, like literally sick, like it was my money or something 🤣😂🤷♂️🤦🏼♂️ Anyway your the man Brad, keep getting it in good and good luck with everything in the future, I can’t wait to see your next video! God bless 🙏🏻
I have been watching your vlog since the 30th episode or so... I am so i guess proud of the progress you have made. Latest vlogs have been killer. Love you Brad keep it up my man. When i come to America first place im stopping by is a meet up game. 😁
Don't play for bonuses like the 7,2 game, 6 card str8's or high hands. It will cost you alot drawing for that stuff. I learned that the hard way a long time ago.
At the end when brad was talking about his results with ethan , Ethan looks like the girl that’s just happy as shit that he picked her and don’t know what to do
Love the content but the part at the end was awesome transparency and good lesson for folks to keep in mind. Bankroll management is often not talked about enough (Jonathan Little has often content on the subject) and I imagine can get some people into trouble. Loved the guest appearance by Rampage too! Keep up the good work Brad!
Is it normal to lose when beginning to play poker at casinos? I’m 19 and been playing poker for years with friends and online. I went to the casino for the first time and got absolutely destroyed. I took a couple months to work on my mistakes and decided to go again, my 2nd time and 3rd time. The 2nd time I was off to a good start but got card dead for 6 hours of play and got cleaned out again and the 3rd time was off to a bad start and went from 300 buy in down to 130. I got it back up to 306 and then got card dead and eventually lost it all after getting slightly tilted. I realized after the first time that I can’t just focus on my cards and need to focus on the other players tendency’s and their cards. I worked on paying attention to my opponents way more and the 2nd time I can tell I improved on that. I realized after the 2nd and 3rd time that I need to work on my ranges, sizing, and paying even more attention to what the other opponent(s) can have. Wondering if it’s common to lose when u start playing at the casinos for the first couple of times and it’s just getting more experience.
Went through the same thing. Online is a lot different. In general at low stakes live you don’t have to be very aggressive. If you clean up your pre flop ranges and don’t go crazy with stuff like A4s where you may in a more competitive environment, you should be fine. There’s so many loose passive players that playing good hands in position and cbetting is really good. When you come across those loose agressive players just tighten up and let them blast off. You’ll be good eventually but realize that folding marginal hands saves you a ton of money
I'm 18 and have been going to Charity poker events for a while now (can't go to casinos yet). I lost quite a bit my first couple times but have been winning consistently now. A lot of it is being at the right table with old guys that aren't fully involved in the game. Use your age to your advantage because a lot of older guys think they can bully you.
I lost probably my first 3-4 sessions live. But it's similar to a new online site. Takes some getting used to. Just play through and try to be as comfortable as can be. You'll get the hang of it. Also you see a lot less hands so it might seem like you're running bad longer.
Also I always play tight preflop and aggressive post flop which in my opinion is a very safe way to go about playing with people you don't know. Of course mix in some squeezes etc. and show bluffs to the table when its right.
great video. Was sweating it a little for you. I was also worried about the cat, glad its back. It puts the home touch back. Keep up the great work. Love it.
Man brad...I have been watching you so long its just amazing to see your growth man! I can hear the improvements in your poker theory and logic. Im glad you started playing at the lodge too man, it is really making you better. Thank you for your scarface of time to make these vids because you are actually giving us free coaching. Thanks again bro! Edit: didn't see the i misspelled sacrifice but brad is mos def Scarface of poker...🤣🤣🤣
Your some lad!! You don’t need to let us know anything about your financial situations and explaining yourself to us about how you manage it. But you did, and it was solely to help other people not make mistakes!! Take a bow you are a standup top bloke!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
interesting hearing BOTH players thought processes thru a very very big hand.. something I cant recall getting to hear anywhere, on anyones stream. loved the action, the quality of players at the table makes for a LOT of interesting assumptions of what people should, shouldnt, could, have, in various pots. Emmy award winning commentary and Vlog as we've grown to expect..🤔😁
Brad :) a tremendous call with the pockets jacks!! i think you knew it was almost 50/50 ..well done mate..but the quad 10's was a iffy call you should of known you were beat ..
You were the first non pro I followed on UA-cam, then Lex and Rampage. I felt horrible when Rampage lost so much of his stack. It's good to see you two playing together and you playing more with the pros as well. Moving on up!
Hey Brad, love your videos can’t wait for each new episode. I am pretty green to the poker world and have been looking for some good book recommendations that you feel helped progress your game. I have heard you mention treat your poker like a business and I read that and it completely changed my thought and work processes, was wondering what other books influenced you to become a better player
Brad, in your rivered Queens-full hand, betting so large into the aggressor on the river seemed like a mistake driven by a bit of frustration with how your session had been going beforehand. Also, my impression is that because you had underrepped your hand each street until the river, your 2nd-nut full house most likely would have been super underrepped if you had checked the river continuing to give the villian the chance to be aggressive. If the villian had a straight on the flop, there’s a good chance he would have made some kind of bet on the river, such as to possibly get value from KQ or AQ, or even KJ. And if the villian had been bluffing with air, he’d probably continue bluffing to try to salvage the hand, and probably with a largr bet. In contrast, betting 2/3rds pot into the villian when the board paired on the river pretty much telegraphed that you were value-betting. At least that is how I see it.
Tough to be frustrated when I rivered a full house in an already big pot that was going to get me above the even mark regardless of if the opponent puts any more money in. Sucks that he had 72o, obviously wish I could've checked knowing that. I think it's rare that he's going to have complete air like he did, and even in those instances he's not just going to be blasting away 100% of the time after I called a 3-bet preflop, a flop bet, and a big turn bet. Seemed a lot more likely he'd have a hand he wouldn't want to fold like an overpair, a straight, or even a smaller full house. Some of those hands won't call check-raises (or may even check back) but might call a pot-sized bet, which is the sizing I used.
Re : Closing statement - Good for you man. You're a success story. I'm glad to hear that content creation is your primary source of income. It means you can just play the game and enjoy yourself.
BRAD you do such a damn good job of keeping me on my seat with your commentary.. I used to think I knew what was coming based on the tone of your voice.. Never have a fuckin clue anymore! xD Love all the poker content, keep it up!!
Hate to comment like this but, how are you betting that pair of 2's on the river after you check the turn?? I literally had to rewatch to confirm the turn went check check.
Props for mentioning the UA-cam income mate! I think I commented on an earlier video that Rampage did a video just on his income from UA-cam which was just crazy. I was watching the stream and saw how much you were down at one stage and couldn’t believe it.
Rampage did a nice blog post about how much he made from UA-cam and he has about 20% the subscribers you do, so it's easy to deduce you are making a very nice number from UA-cam. Congrats. I enjoy all of your blogs and commentaries. Keep it going!
Came across you a few weeks ago as a young poker player. Love the vids man. One day I will come over from England UK and get in with some jiggidies lol
Brad, the hand commentary with Rampage was really good. I think you're onto something there and would like to see more of that with your table mates who are poker pros, fellow bloggers or solid rec players who understand the fundamentals and can discuss the hand well. Really dig your channel and blog. Keep up the killer work!
I agree, good chemistry and should really build on it
I second that. That was an amazing discussion. Nice to see the thought process of both players and presented in such a friendly energetic way despite the high stakes. Excellent work!
I concur…
Agree, would love to see more of this
Your strength and courage impress me. No way I would try to one hand carry two racks of chips. *3 at the end
It’s a win win for him. He does it successfully and he looks like a beast. He fails and it make a great clip since he’s recording it.
It was actually 3 racks. Top rack only had a short stack.
@@mksampsonphotography he's a physical beast dude
🤑
That's hilarious
Thank you for talking about bankroll management at the end! Too many players who aren’t disciplined and/or knowledgeable about bankroll management make some really big mistakes when it comes to taking shots at larger games with money they can’t actually afford to lose.
Great vlog as always!
This was my favorite part of the video, and key to understanding how Brad has grown since the start of the vlog. Great stuff!
That kind of players have to bust at least one time to understand basic bankroll management lol
He did a great video with the late legend Mike Sexton about all that. But glad he talked about it because it can get the inexperienced the wrong frame of mind.
loving all the lodge content! keep up the hard work brad!
Your honesty and transparency is exactly why you are so popular, Brad. Kudos once again for showing us all why we became #TeamJiggitties for a reason
Great video and what a crazy session. I was hoping that 10k bet would get called and you would get the biggest win ever… I have a feeling it’s coming soon. Great fold on the Jiggities hand as I know you hate folding them. 😎💯
with hindsight, if he'd checked the river, as the guy with the 72 hand could not possibly win, I wonder what he would've bet !
@@whataloadofbollox he definitely would have bet something... maybe another 5k
I like your honesty. Putting out quality videos is not a free ride as a ton of time and work goes into that. It's really just a service to us, and a tribute to the poker community.
The card by card analysis with Ethan was easily the best thing I've seen on either of your channels.
We are BACK at the table, luckily with our boy Brad Owen. Love all the content you're pumping out mate.
Love the sportsmanship in the breakdown hand with Ethan. Keep killing it brad!

Instead of rampage watch mariano
It was a cool CrossOver. I do like Mariano better than Rampage, hopefully Brad and Mariano could play together at a point.
All 3 are great watches
7-2 game is a trap. Don't play it.
Let others put their stack at risk.
Love the two best guys taking us through that hand!!👍👍🔥🔥
Very happy to see your growth and success. I’ve been watching since the early days! It is definitely in my bucket list to make a trip to the Lodge! Congratulations on your accomplishments

Thank you man. It's always really cool when people who don't play or normally watch poker still enjoy these videos.

Love it!!!!
Always a great day when brad uploads
Your some lad!! You don’t need to let us know anything about your financial situations and explaining yourself to us about how you manage it. But you did, and it was solely to help other people not make mistakes!! Take a bow you are a standup top bloke!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
interesting hearing BOTH players thought processes thru a very very big hand.. something I cant recall getting to hear anywhere, on anyones stream.
loved the action, the quality of players at the table makes for a LOT of interesting assumptions of what people should, shouldnt, could, have, in various pots.
Emmy award winning commentary and Vlog as we've grown to expect..🤔😁
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE NEXT LODGE VIDEO THE WHOLE WEEK LAST WEEK
Brad :) a tremendous call with the pockets jacks!! i think you knew it was almost 50/50 ..well done mate..but the quad 10's was a iffy call you should of known you were beat ..
Really enjoy your channel, I learn more everytime I watch by the way you change up your play, hope you run good!👍
You were the first non pro I followed on UA-cam, then Lex and Rampage. I felt horrible when Rampage lost so much of his stack. It's good to see you two playing together and you playing more with the pros as well. Moving on up!
The action is insane it's like I'm watching a completely different poker vlog.
Bringing the cat out is a power play, hope to see it at the table next time, much love from UK
Hey Brad, love your videos can’t wait for each new episode. I am pretty green to the poker world and have been looking for some good book recommendations that you feel helped progress your game. I have heard you mention treat your poker like a business and I read that and it completely changed my thought and work processes, was wondering what other books influenced you to become a better player
Nice honest commentary at the end there Brad, fair play to you
Brad, in your rivered Queens-full hand, betting so large into the aggressor on the river seemed like a mistake driven by a bit of frustration with how your session had been going beforehand. Also, my impression is that because you had underrepped your hand each street until the river, your 2nd-nut full house most likely would have been super underrepped if you had checked the river continuing to give the villian the chance to be aggressive. If the villian had a straight on the flop, there’s a good chance he would have made some kind of bet on the river, such as to possibly get value from KQ or AQ, or even KJ. And if the villian had been bluffing with air, he’d probably continue bluffing to try to salvage the hand, and probably with a largr bet. In contrast, betting 2/3rds pot into the villian when the board paired on the river pretty much telegraphed that you were value-betting. At least that is how I see it.
Tough to be frustrated when I rivered a full house in an already big pot that was going to get me above the even mark regardless of if the opponent puts any more money in. Sucks that he had 72o, obviously wish I could've checked knowing that. I think it's rare that he's going to have complete air like he did, and even in those instances he's not just going to be blasting away 100% of the time after I called a 3-bet preflop, a flop bet, and a big turn bet. Seemed a lot more likely he'd have a hand he wouldn't want to fold like an overpair, a straight, or even a smaller full house. Some of those hands won't call check-raises (or may even check back) but might call a pot-sized bet, which is the sizing I used.
@@BradOwenPoker That’s for the explanation. That’s why you are a pro and I’m a recreational scrub at this game. 🤗
Re : Closing statement - Good for you man. You're a success story. I'm glad to hear that content creation is your primary source of income. It means you can just play the game and enjoy yourself.
wow goated the fact that you are still level after a bad run impresses me every time
Good on you mate, great to get your commentary at the end, we’ll done
BRAD you do such a damn good job of keeping me on my seat with your commentary.. I used to think I knew what was coming based on the tone of your voice.. Never have a fuckin clue anymore! xD Love all the poker content, keep it up!!
Hate to comment like this but, how are you betting that pair of 2's on the river after you check the turn?? I literally had to rewatch to confirm the turn went check check.
Props for mentioning the UA-cam income mate! I think I commented on an earlier video that Rampage did a video just on his income from UA-cam which was just crazy. I was watching the stream and saw how much you were down at one stage and couldn’t believe it.
Oh shoot 202 musta missed a episode brad episode have been flying out good job
Thank you for helping make each of us better poker players with your videos.
Hello!
Loved the dual perspective in a whole hand. I’d like to see more of that. 👍
Whos signature is on that football?
Rampage did a nice blog post about how much he made from UA-cam and he has about 20% the subscribers you do, so it's easy to deduce you are making a very nice number from UA-cam. Congrats. I enjoy all of your blogs and commentaries. Keep it going!
One of your best vids, really liked the hand breakdown with Ethan.
Fun seeing you and Rampage together!
Came across you a few weeks ago as a young poker player. Love the vids man. One day I will come over from England UK and get in with some jiggidies lol
Here we go! My favourite video of the week 🤪
Enjoyable as always . As much as you seem to enjoy the 7-2 game . I don't think it's your friend . Be safe out there .
Great Monday when my lunch is filled with my favorite poker Vloggers! #bradrocks!
Great job.... so humble and genuine.
Love the collaboration with Rampage; hope to see more of it in the future.
Brad Owen. The real deal. None of that nft bs. Good luck Brad!
“ pocket queens in the cut off, this is a hand that is considered a raise by a lot of charts from this position” haha fantastic!
Dayyyum good video, Bradwee!
