In this No Limit Hold Em Poker VLOG I am playing Texas Hold Em at the Victoria Casino in London!
I usually play poker at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles. Hustler Casino is the home of the Hustler Live Stream where players like Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Garrett Adelstein, Phill Hellmuth, Mariano, Rampage Poker, Nick Vertucci, Ryan Feldman, Ryusuke, Doug Polk, Nik Airball and Mr Beast have played. I am trying to gamble my way to a big chip stack and win lots of cash!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

A ton of effort went into this week's VLOG, more than usual, I hope you guys enjoy! Gimme a sub if you haven't already done so, and get ready for THE VEGAS VLOGS STARTING NEXT WEEK!!!

[@user-mm3qe4si8m]

Ben: Thank God i didn’t bluff river because AJ is never folding Gazzy: Thank God he didn’t bet river because i was definitely folding 😂

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Hahahaha gotta needle your buddies a little right???

[@user-mm3qe4si8m]

@@garyblackwoodpoker Absolutely. See you in Vegas soon, i’ll be at Aria most nights ✌️

[@BenaBadBeatPoker]

fold river yeyeyeye. ty for the shout out mate and gl in vegas

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

❤❤❤

[@NatSchuff]

Thanks for showing the bet-folds as well, Gary. Most vloggers don't and it's useful to hear why you make these folds. Best of luck in Vegas.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thanks, I try to show all angles of the game :)

[@Q4Flip]

Love seeing your videos not many uk poker vloggers about and it’s nice to see people playing in uk

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

There’s a gap in the market and I intend to penetrate that gap

[@NatSchuff]

And the duelling banjos hand was a great idea.

[@MissDeal55]

Really like the two perspectives hand! Thanks for putting in the extra work for our enjoyment

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@richard99cookify]

As someone who would regularly go Vic back 2010-2020 to play 1/1 and 1/2, it's absolutely fantastic to watch this. I do miss the old style cards without the large font though and the red tables, but times change! Great vlog fella.

[@deinheld4686]

Gary the kind of guy who calls players loose gooses and plays T6 off and is convinced A3 or JT are really tight folds. Gotta Love you man 😂

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Hey the T6 was suited!!! 😂 thank you ❤

Dual vlogging is a great idea, esp with someone as good as benabadbeat.

Let it be known I was the first to think of it before everyone else starts doing it!!

[@jonhughes7264]

That was really interesting and well made. Thanks a lot. Would have liked to have seen the run out on the last hand of the night that you folded pre: AJdd

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

It was all low cards on the flop! Good fold by me 😂❤️

After leaving the comment last time I went to the Grosvenor and placed 4th 😂 first live tournament so well chuffed. Got the Scottish amateur championships this weekend! Good luck in Vegas mate

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Bringing you some rungood!! Keep it going

[@ianpaynetravel]

It's great you are allowed to film there, did you have to arrange it with staff or you just got the cam out? I play occasionally at the Hippodrome, their poker room is massive since they rebuilt it.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

You have to get permission! They have been very helpful with it but 100% permission required.

[@stephenmurphy3802]

Good video buddy

[@adam4skateboarding]

Thank you for the vlogs Gary! Run pure in Vegas and don’t forget to donate to the college funds at SR before you leave 😂

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Hahahaha thank you ❤

[@logansmith4690]

Have you considered adding effective stack depths next to your hand so we know how deep you’re playing for said hand?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

It’s a lot of effort unfortunately

[@HDsharp]

A British rampage... lol

[@Hesperian1]

That was very very strong play from you. Very impressed with your thinking and rationale. You are a very good player and you'll only get better with time. Surprised that you are down for the year though - were those losses mostly in live games or online?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Just live games but they are big games so in terms of big blinds it’s not so bad :)

[@Hesperian1]

@garyblackwoodpoker Okay well keep at it. You'll be winning big soon enough. I'm going to try to come down to London at some point and play a few cash games myself. Have put 50k together to do so. Really hope to bump into you at some point as I think you'll really keep me on my toes and probably improve my own play too. All the best to you though and best of luck with the channel.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

@@Hesperian1 Sounds great man, gl when you play and I'm always free to say hi and chat :) see you there

[@nicholi2789]

I’m definitely going to four bet jam it in someone’s eye next session after watching this vlog lol.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Glad I could be of service!

[@adrianoalves20]

Cool! And btw who was the super pro?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

A mirror hehehehehe

[@matthewhardy3682]

The biggest leak in my game is playing way too loosely when i have been card dead for a long stretch. Usually starts by playing mediocre hands in position, but will progress to playing any two in any spot.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yeah it’s a problem for a lot of players but thankfully something I’ve stamped out as I’ve gotten older and wiser

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

Do you actually use something physical to randomize, or just whatever you feel like doing in the moment depending on mood/gameflow etc?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I use a chip and treat it like a clock, so if the logo is 180 degrees (up side down) then that would be 50%. Hope that makes sense.

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

@@garyblackwoodpoker thanks

[@johnn9977]

Good action

[@luccaaliaga9954]

The man

[@richcheckmaker9789]

Instead of randomizing individual hands by rotating a chip irl or an RNG online I think using intuition on which spots are good or not is a far better approach. Each street randomizing becomes worse and worse of a strategy. Preflop it's not so bad, but anyone randomizing whether to call or fold on a river is just bad at poker, Doug Polk included. Trust your gut, your subconscious is doing all sorts of calculations and drawing from recall in order to nudge you in the right direction. Don't ignore that because you think you have to randomize to maintain MDF or whatever reason you do it. Great vlog as always, keep it up!

[@richcheckmaker9789]

Also 4betting ATos 50% of the time when you get 3 bet from the small blind has to be too high of a percentage right? Even if that were your only 4bet bluff candidate (ATos) I would think 50% is still too high and you almost certainly have other 4bet bluffs there too (A5s AJ and AQos maybe?).

[@nardinit]

You're basically opting for a exploitative strat rather than GTO. I do agree, exploit is the way to go, especially live. Need to mox in some gto with tough online games.

[@betadecay6503]

No-one, Doug Polk included, relies completely on randomising. They do it in spots where they have no reason to deviate from GTO, aka no gut feeling. The fact that you say "anyone randomizing whether to call or fold on a river is just bad at poker" shows that you don't know what you're talking about. If you know the baseline, you can deviate from it depending on your understanding of your opponent, you don't just go with your gut.

[@robmckrill3134]

Gazzy lad ,just a thought I would have liked to know what at least the flop was on the last hand. I think it adds another dimension to your vlogs if you do as it shows that you are a genius or a nit .Joking, I never think that you are a nit cheers Rob 🍻

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Haha it was 842 and the turn was an ace!!!! I would have had the best hand 😢

[@user-ok1ou1cj3c]

Can we get the sound clip from the slowroll 😂

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I wish I could release it 😂😂 was so good

[@dubnubgtd8538]

I’m going Vegas in February. I play poker but not as much money. Should I just go and enjoy myself

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

100000% go to enjoy yourself. You'll find great 1/3, 2/5 and 5/5 games all over Vegas. The Wynn & Aria will have the best games. Enjoy yourself!

[@michaelb4090]

Bests luck dude I’m routing for ya and it be sweet if you win a ring 💍 if rampage can do it so can you haha 😅😊

Best of luck to you In WSOP Garry. Really hope to meet you and get you a drink at the Vic some day. Keep those videos coming

[@criostasi4080]

I don't know exactly how much you had in your stack, but what about ceckraisng all'in on the turn with 109s of hearths? I know you are representing maybe just 1010, but at the same time if you want to have some bluff raise, that's maybe the best and to do so. It blocks 1010 and has aot of equity vs AQ/KK/AA. The fact that he didn't bet aces on the river after your turn made me think that he could possibly fold at least some time and with so much equity you don't need too many folds.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Definitely viable, I think it would be a good play tbh.
