$5600 GOES IN when I have Trip Aces King Kicker! | Poker Vlog 291

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

Golden Hour in Monument Valley is unbelievable. Glad you got to experience it also. I think that was Shiprock also!

[@vegasaviation2243]

I flew my beach craft Bonanza v tail aircraft to monument valley from vegas earlier this year. It’s a beautiful place and a must see if out west.

[@michaelsteel9010]

A5 suited is a very good calling hand in most situations.

[@danielortiz8903]

So funny that the people who spend the most time talking about games being good or people being good or bad for the game are always bad for the game

[@cactuarnoob100]

This should be Pinned on every vlog literally ever.

[@stevehungerford4305]

Great observation!

[@brockjackson9152]

Especially when he complains about bomb pots every other video

[@MikeyD8716]

Just a bunch of tight snipers looking for one fish to prey on .. not to mention this pepper mill game is miserableeeee most the time

[@JP-gt5zd]

@BenDeach I am curious about the problem of being at a table with more maniacs than other players. Understanding that this table was "shitty" for being lower levels of action, what is your advice when sat at a table where the action is borderline chaos? I play at a table locally where this occurs maybe once every couple of months. The table mixture hits the right formula and suddenly our 1/2 is playing like 5/10. I do not claim to be ready for those stakes and I know I can simply walk away, but what would be another option? Be the nit? Be strictly tight?

[@markstevens3078]

Love your trip videos. Too bad on the bronze medal. We have all been there!

[@BenDeach]

Better that than silver

[@Mathemagical55]

You made exactly the same mistake as a few vlogs ago, raising a nutted draw (Ah6h) in position and folding to the reraise. Your diagnosis that you call too often and need more raises there is correct but you've picked totally the wrong hand to raise with. You use the best of your discards as bluffs, not solid nut draws.

[@Caspergomezz]

I agree better to keep worse draws in when you’re drawing to the nuts, you make more coolering someone for 100+bb then raising against a bettor when it’s unclear whether there’s fold equity. Also with a small suited ace you unblock the qj j10 kq k10 of ❤ type of hand

[@neilmonroe7903]

nice on the Monument Valley intro. Magnificent place.

[@chpokervlog]

Appreciate the advice on the music, I’ll take note of that!

[@iTzTrouble7]

The biggest reason you should 3 bet the AK pre is to condense their range. They may not be in there with dueces or A5 suited after you put in a big 3 bet. If they are a lot of times they will miss.

[@Al-ls1dk]

Over the past 14 years I have found the couple of weeks before Christmas are way tougher games than normal in S. FL

[@JB-wh1fn]

Where do you play in S Fl

[@pot_kivach160]

19:50 I argue: Fold AK on turn! One guy has FH (A5), the other has FH 22. If nothing, one of them would swallow Ak like strawberry!

[@victorfrankenstein50202]

I told you that I have a perfect card protector for you, to change your luck (maybe). Just need a place to send it. Maybe The Peppermill Poker Room? Could I get it to you that way?

[@chpokervlog]

That AK hand was wild. I agree 22 is calling and u prob lose more as its probably heads up

[@MrRodnick1955]

Can’t you edit out the sound on the vlog and add music that utube will allow?

[@michaelwillis4532]

Ancient tree stumps. Just like Devils Tower.

[@McBluffins]

So true about the Tupperware

[@Jermo484]

You should have made it like $275 pre with AK. Who cares if they think you're making a move? You're ahead almost always. Not 3 betting means you have literally no clue what their range can be - they could have 43s, 55, 22, A2s, A5s, AT, TT full combos.

[@TheNow_Now]

Yeah idk where he is getting his sizings from. It was a limp, raise to 50, and flat on button. At least 4x oop+call, so 275/300 is fine, if they are 2k effective. Making it 175 would be so terrible 😂😂 lol and not accomplish anything. It's funny that Ben complains about OMCs and then plays this hand like a mega OMC complete with just the donking right out with it lmao

[@Brian-os9qj]

Happy Hollerdays Ben

[@CardinalLaw9]

You've used "going north" to mean reraising. I thought "going north" meant adding to your stack in the middle of a session, as opposed to "going south" (which is taking money off the table)

[@BenDeach]

It does mean that. But I also used it here for whatever reason

[@charleslilja4698]

I enjoy playing against tougher players. I play 2/3 and 3/5 in Arizona and there's some really good players in those games. The 2/3 $1000 cap with 100% match the stack can get some big stacks for a 2/3 game but how will I ever play 5/10 against even better players if I were to be afraid of better players....

[@mattanderson8218]

I guess the exception to the tupperware=no action would be Daniel Negreanu 😂

[@CarbonPower]

I don’t understand the A-J fold. You called the big raise……hit the best possible outcome and fold?

[@Jermo484]

One pair on JT9 isn't vaguely close to "the best possible outcome". He's drawing almost dead against AA, JJ, TT, 99, KQ, 87 - all of which they can definitely have - multiway.

[@CarbonPower]

Why call with A-J if not to hit your J with top kicker? I’m feeling better about hitting my J than if I hit my A lol. Definitely not folding to a single C bet when hitting exactly what I wanted.

[@Jermo484]

@CarbonPower uh, it's AJ suited. Top pair is by no means the best thing you can hope for. You win MASSIVE pots with trips, two pair, straights, flushes. And even as far as top pair goes, this is literally the worst you could have flopped besides JT9 monotone. They have tons of two pair, sets and straights.

[@CarbonPower]

@ goodness gracious my man. Did he flop the world? No? Do we fold every hand we don’t flop sets or trips or open ended straight flush draws on? No. He flopped the best he was going to. Period. Top top. Every poker players dream to flop top top every hand smh

[@Jermo484]

@CarbonPower he flopped the best he was going to? He never flops two pair? Trips? Straights? Flushes? Pair plus flush draw? Pair plus straight draw? Massive combo draws? Top top on a much dryer board? I can think of literally 500 better flops

[@pot_kivach160]

11:15 A6h, I'm folding flop 3-bet. R: No pot odds. I have 14% equity (7 outs only. 9-2. The two hearts that are pairing the board for. a FH complete!!). FOLD!

[@nuklearwinter2892]

I’d just fold the flop with AK there. It’s obvious someone has a set when you get raised and then someone cold calls.

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

21:40 The true moral to this story is never play pocket 22s in a multiway raised pot. They never win even when you flop a set.

[@willinnewhaven3285]

So, you're in a John Ford western

[@jonieyvibez7847]

Wtfffff is going on in these handss???? 😮😮😮

[@TheNow_Now]

Man that AK is like one of the worst hands Ive ever seen played 😂😂😂

[@Ptilt]

hmmm it's like something is missing

[@okiepokertraveler1718]

If you had 3 bet preflop you would have just been losing more money. Pretty sure, if they're a pro like you think, they would have called that bet.

[@sonnycalzone7784]

Spelling error at 0:07 is a little tilting otherwise this is a good vlog from you ! Well done . Still a fan even tho the peppermill game is redundant lol you are still cool and in the rotation lol

[@daviddouglas5692]

Your player pool is miniscule

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

I'm folding that AJ every single time. How many clean outs did you really have? Bummer runout, but absolutely the right fold! I folded QQ to a board of AKx. Runout QQ. Would have been bad beat. But I was dead except for BOTH queens to AA. The way it goes sometimes!

[@Tickman45]

That AK hand was just bad for a lot of reasons

[@Jermo484]

Pretty standard postflop and he managed to save some money in a gross cooler.

[@drewstrongitharm9680]

You always talk about a bad line up. You are the epitome of a bad line up lol. You seem like the average 1/2 player

[@Caspergomezz]

It’s hilarious. Calling a 3 bet with aj then hitting top top and then folding to one bet on the flop? And he wonders why the games aren’t good he won’t put in money without the super super nutz

[@victorfrankenstein50202]

OK, guess I’m here first…blow my mind Ben. Wow, with top-top (AJ), and getting 4 to 1 on the call, you lay that down? Yes I saw the result, but those odds at least justify a call to see the turn card. I guess you really didn’t need that $1,000. Aaarrgh, you raise the A6 of hearts after hitting a flush draw on the flop…and your opponent is building the pot for you. I can see betting out yourself to build the pot if you hit, but bluff-betting yourself right out of the pot is painful to watch. Finally, your foolish $50 call with AK, failing to isolate, almost cost you your stack, but you wisely surmised that you were definitely not in 1st place with top set and King kicker. Cost yourself a bunch, but ultimately saved a bunch too.

[@bogdans1343]

Ben likes to fold’em!

[@jacobpotter2237]

Forest Gump foreshadowing

[@williamlittrell4570]

Comment.

[@efraimrosado4754]

Thee Rams making Niner"s fold how shitty is that

[@ursularandle683]

I hate having AK

[@checkmugged]

You simply jam pre with AK in a bounty spot + dead money in the pot. I know it’s a ridiculous overjam but nobody can call you, why not take the free money since you’re obviously scared money preflop/postflop? Even if someone calls you it’ll be a flip at worst.

[@mikedick7033]

So pushing 1900 into the middle to win 100 sounds like a good play to you? People can still have KK or AA even though you have AK. So by no means it’s a flip at worse and even if it is you wanna flip for that much. I mean if he has 500 in front of him of course but almost 2k. That’s big time losing play

[@RichardRennes]

How could you NOT make a running video in those areas like a Forest Gump parody? 🤨🤷‍♂ 5:14 - A&W ZERO?? 🤢🤮 6:41 - "AJ of spades, I open it to 30", as there is 35 showing. 🤨

Nit nit nit

[@aaronjg682]

AJ hand, right process at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@tomsmooth5569]

Ben I like your vlogs…however the constant whining we hear about how the games are not good and no one is giving action is getting a bit tired. Especially from someone like yourself who is a good nitty player and probably gives no action. As a winning player remember that it’s the pro’s responsibility to “game cultivate”.

[@Cwhiten11]

That AK is a GROSS hand, bro. You block full houses, you block the nut flush draw on the turn… I would have tanked far longer than 30 seconds. Enjoy the vlogs, man. Keep your head up!

[@ryanbarry5320]

I haven’t watched your videos in a minute. I guess that’s a good choice because I’ve now seen you puss out twice annoying enough to put me on tilt

[@paulboyd561]

Please riddle me this. Why do you play in games that don’t even come close to being good.

[@JohnMatthews-s8e]

Surely when a game is shitty..... get out of the city!!!!!

Ben, what type of security does Poker Bros have? Why cant 2 or 3 guys cheat together on there cell phones n view each other’s cards? How would anyone know?

[@menglee2390]

Oh my God you guys got to play cash game poker and they cut the deck. You guys are so lucky. In here Fresno California they don't. The casino control everything. Cash game poker is dead here. It sad how the casino doing to the poker cash game. So many stupid players that don't even complain about it; they didn't cut the deck before dealing the card out. or maybe they didn't know it. Every time I bring this up they/casino/players try to shut me up and I don't know how are they just fine with it. someone please tell me that I'm right. that you take the card out of the machine, then cut it and then deal the card out. if you love The game of poker you understand how I feel for not cutting before dealing the cards out. I'm so sad now someone please help??? tell me that I'm right please please.
