Brad Owen ALL-IN Preflop vs POCKET ACES

Brad Owen had a rough session on this episode of Poker At The Lodge. He showed a lot of heart, but his moves didn't often work out. Check out the highlights.

The Lodge Card Club is a members-only social club in Round Rock, Texas (just north of Austin). With 24/7 cash games and 2+ tournaments per day, The Lodge is THE place to play poker in central Texas. The Lodge Live is streamed every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 3PM CT.
You never know what you might see on The Lodge Live stream. You might see Pocket Aces vs Pocket Kings. You may see the nut straight lose to a full house after the board pairs on the river. There's a good chance you will see loads of straddles (and double straddles, and triple straddles). Players go all-in blind or play poker hands after looking at just one card. That's just what poker is like in Texas!
The stream regularly features Lodge owners Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Doug Polk. Players like Rampage, Mariano, and Igor Kurganov has also graced The Lodge Live felt. And who knows? One day The Lodge may even host players like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, or similarly huge poker names.

Brad has released 2 videos for this trip playing on the Lodge’s live stream. Interestingly this 7-2 hand was not in them. We’ve all done something that we never want to talk about it again.

[@chevelle1]

I doubt his backers are thrilled

[@Eric-tj3tg]

He likely was aware of The Lodge's intentions, and purposely omitted it. He's humble enough, historically, to include it. I agree, however, that when, in short order, this becomes a faint memory, Brad will be relieved. Don't know dude, so all speculation.

At least Brad saved Mariano from the cooler on the flop.

[@joeince9430]

That’s how good Mariano is running these days- even when he’s supposed to be coolerd he manages to escape thanks to someone else going crazy

[@AustinLindstrom]

Going all in pre-flop with 2-7? Might have a gambling problem instead of a career at this point.

[@stormybaker4135]

It's too funny that, on the run-out, Brad's 88 hand was actually the winner against both 66 and A3

[@alexmiller8327]

i like watching your ups and downs Brad, even if they don't make much sense sometimes:P keep it coming....

[@JiveDadson]

It makes me sad.

[@chevelle1]

Watching this is more confirmation that higher stakes does not equal better players

[@JamesBu11]

Its scattergun poker where anyone can have anything with multiple 10k+ pots. Navigating your way through it is extremely hard.

[@ianmcclory9297]

Brad with all the poker coaching and recent experience playing at a higher level you decided to hell with the poker gods I’m going to rip the worst hand in poker into the best !!! I hope the lodge is paying well these days because this was reckless and somewhat shocking and not in keeping with anything remotely similar to any high level poker that I’ve ever seen

[@marcopolodeoliveira8347]

This was hard to watch live. Probably the biggest punt in a stream cash game I’ve seen. As Ryan DePaulo would say, get it in bad and suck out

[@morgan20689]

Brad’s all in with 7-2 was stupid….remember where you came from my friend or you will lose it all.

[@steventrostle1825]

OK I'm on Brad's side wishing/hoping for him to win BUT I think he has slipped a cog with some of these plays.

Should be titled "setting youtube money on fire"

[@turdeaugottago114]

im new here, is that 'donkin off yer chips'? ok wait, second hand, he re raises the agressive bet from the bluff when he has the nuts? does this brad fella understand the basics or is it just me not understanding his deep hellmuth like thinking?

[@peterhardie4151]

Balanced 4 bet range guys. This is GTO.

[@JamesBu11]

Its a bluff where he played the player, if EZ didn't have such a strong hand he may well have folded. Thats what a bluff is, it doesn't matter the value of your hand when you do that, just that your opponent folds.

[@eddiehengzbach]

You think he was bluffing with an over pair in a side pot? lmao

[@JamesBu11]

@@eddiehengzbach I was referring to the first hand, but now you come to mention it, on the last hand whatever it was, it worked!

[@flexmoney1308]

@@JamesBu11 Agreed. Everybody here can see the cards. On the 7-2 hand, he cleared the table and was left with the loose player ...who happened to have a monster. Could have went the other way easy enough. (Then again, there is the get your money in good argument.) On the last had, with the 9-9...that continuing push works, as Brad represents top pocket pairs...and didn't run into the monster that time. He told a story of strength.

[@User-dc5ob]

14.56 Brad says it’s called a bluff after shoving and having to show the 99s. Then instantly he says he didn’t think the guy he put all in had anything? So your bluffing against a guy you think doesn’t have anything? Let’s just get it right Brad was way over his head here

[@craig3111]

Took the gamble wanting to bluff everyone off pre flop with 72 but it backfired big with someone holding AA

[@jojojo78930]

08:57 brad would have had the highest straight, talk about bad luck…..

[@MlenToboe]

14:45 why he has a 3♣ as an out? Because of the straight? Why 99 would win against QQ if table is straight? I don't get it, sorry.

@@edward-jacobholt8795I’ve heard Brad explain away some poor decisions by saying it’s for making the stream entertaining. I don’t buy it. He looked very uncomfortable.
