COMPLETELY WRECKING High Stakes Players’ Worlds w INSANE MOVES!! $15,000+ Stack! Poker Vlog Ep 218

[@BradOwenPoker]

Hi everyone, the tribute to my dad is during last 4 mins of this episode (past the normal outro); it's probably my favorite 4 minutes of any video I've uploaded: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haDJm4OZp6ugrbc Also, here's a link to the video I made on the new channel for people to better understand the poker terminology I use and the hand ranges associated with different positions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKuQnp1rmbGDopo

[@UnityTogether]

you're a good guy brad, stay the way you are!

[@gregorydeckelman4262]

I loved your tribute to your Dad!! A quick tribute story from me to you about my Dad. The last time I went fishing with him was oh so memorable. We fished a lot together & he taught me how. We went out in my new boat & about 3 or 4 hours "into the session", my Dad hooked a big one. When he got it to the boat it turned out to be about 10 or 11 lb catfish! We were fishing for bass & crappie. I netted the fish & lifted it into the boat on the deck. I went to reach for the fish (you have to be careful w/catfish they have barbs around their mouth that HURT!) & the fish flopped, the hooked came out & poof he fell back into the water. OH SHIT! I apologized over & over & he was tired from the fight on that fish. He said let's go home. Boy was I uncomfortable, to say the least. The next day a friend wanted to go fishing so I took him. As I was leaving, I told my dad I would go back & catch his fish for him just trying to make a funny & lighten the mood. We went and about 2 to 3 hrs in we were gonna try 1 more spot. We were trolling to the next spot when my rod bent like hell and I reeled in what looked like the exact same fish I had lost the day before. I couldn't believe it! I knew right away Dad was never gonna believe me but I had my friend as a witness. I got home with the fish in a big ice chest & told my Dad to look at what we had caught. He ignored it for a while & I finally ask him "aren't you gonna look"? He stood up opened the chest looked for a few seconds & said "where did you buy that"? I laughed and said I caught it. After some discussion, he finally believed me. But I did tell him that I went back & caught it for you but you gotta clean it! He did the next day and boy oh boy did that fish taste good made into catfish steaks! That was our last fishing trip together for he had a stroke just a couple of days later. Those memories of father & son are better than gold IMHO, and I'm pretty sure you agree. I enjoy the VLOG & look forward to the next one. Keep on fishing buddy, the big one is still out there for you sir! All the best, Gandalf 😎

[@siavashsabet2462]

My condolences Brad. May he rest in peace.

[@gregorydeckelman4262]

@@BradOwenPoker LOL As God as my witness, I did not buy it!

[@sniper19fosho]

Let’s go Brad! Sorry to hear about your dad! It made me emotional just listening to the love in his voice for you! It was amazing! Keep it up!

[@BradOwenPoker]

Thanks a lot man. That was a tough video for me to put together.

[@sniper19fosho]

Brad, I actually knew from the second I heard your voice that it was something that devastated you! I am really bummed for your loss but I know you will become a better man in your remaining years. Also, I would really like to grab a beer with you and show you around town when you make it back to Detroit! I recently had a kid and yelled through the house that I was having a night out once I found out you were Coming to Detroit. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it but I’m glad you had such a good experience here. I can assure you the next time you come will be even better. Much love. Also stay away from the pocket jiggidys

[@exploringsincity]

100% agreed. He loves his pa. I sure do love mine

[@nickhopton5169]

I missed this, been a busy life recently - very sorry for your loss man. Can say from experience Brad is a very kind person and hope you have the support you deserve,

[@mrburns805]

That AT bluff was a really sick play. Good assessment of the situation and a risky move that paid off.

[@avaziri93]

3 better folded a 7 for sure! Great Play Brad!

[@Kanders190]

@@avaziri93 Probably didn't have 7x. Not many 7x combos in an UTG raising range. In addition, not sure he raises the river considering both Brad and the 3rd player can easily have a flush.

[@houdinismith5613]

I wonder if he folded a flush? So sick shove on river regardless

[@timb4248]

Man that was KIND OF spewy IMO. It was like 2k more for the UTG player to call to win 7k. There is no way he folds a big flush there. He was likely bluffing or making some awful super thin raise with JJ or something. Brad repped the nut flush really well but he has very few boats in his range as well, and never shoves a medium flush. It made little sense and i think the guy just showboated while folding some trash bluff.

[@ericlandis1805]

@@timb4248 I think the best hand he would have folded there was AT, which would make the play genius. But i'd say it's more likely that you're correct. He almost certainly didn't fold better there.

[@alisyed5865]

Hey man, breaks my heart to hear about your dad. Brought tears to my eyes hearing his voicemail…. Had to call my damn dad after that and tell him I loved him. Which went over like it does with any dad/son relationship… very awkwardly 😂😂. I hope you the best in your coping and recovery. You were a lucky man to have him be your pops. If you ever get sad about it, just shoot him a text. I did that when my grandfather passed away and it still feels like he’s here.

[@RodJeez]

Almost cried. It was very well done. Brad is the most genuine youtuber and that's highlighted with his comment responses and candor

[@andrewmoore6773]

Brad, I don't know if you'll see this, I also lost my father recently, although I didn't have the same relationship you had with yours, your tribute hit hard with me. I appreciate the honesty and openness you put out with this content.

[@nomorevlogs265]

Great vlog Brad! I actually played with you a few months ago at Bellagio and it was really nice to see that you're a super cool and humble guy. Keep up the good work!!!

[@freedom3594]

Just finished watching the last vlog and this one popped up. Deepest condolences my man. Your dad seemed awesome. He raised you well.

[@luckycow3509]

That Final A10 hand has to be one of the best examples I’ve ever seen that shows the separation between a casual player and a pro-player. The intuition you had in that hand was absolutely insane

[@edward-jacobholt8795]

Crazy to see brad playing high stakes so confidently now compared to when he used to be nervous with that much money on the table.

[@alvin1979wong]

He is a poker boss now!

[@pattimac373]

in addition to playing more , he prob has a much better outside income going on now adays ...def makes a difference in comfort level

[@beachfraser3747]

May your Dad, RIP, ive been there bro, many years ago but he will always remain in my heart, Time heals , hold the great times together in your memory, best wishes from the UK Brad!! regards

[@mcbamcis3676]

Nice video Brad! Sorry to hear about your dad. It’s always a difficult time losing a loved one! Stay strong and know you have several people thinking about you in your time of need.

[@johncarter8539]

There is an old saying in poker that dates back to centuries ago ..... that saying is get revenge on the bastard that bluffed you! :). Outstanding! Gonna use that historical reference at the poker tables this weekend! Nice win!

[@Darkknight76767]

Brad you're killing it, glad to see you're living your dream and able to be happy doing what you are passionate about!

[@ben.andersen]

As always, incredible writing. Informative and hilarious. Thanks for all the effort you put into these videos!

[@clintonzorro]

Sorry to hear about your dad brother, it’s sad losing him so young and such special guy at that , he did a great job you are an amazing guy and that’s because of your parents ,remember the good times and one day he will be dealing you in that poker table in the sky.

[@LV2UXO77]

I enjoyed watching you play and telling us your play-by-play evaluation of your thoughts on each hand. Stay calm and confident on the outside, and keep your opponents second-guessing their own hands. I've watched many High-Stakes poker-playing videos, and you fit right in with the best of them. Great Poker Playing, Brad! 🏆

[@justinkarp15]

Man, I was born in Tampa, all my family lives in Tampa I would love a seat in the main at the hard rock. Visit family I havent seen in years, see my idol Brad... What a dream

[@kansascub]

The tribute to your dad was amazing and so are your blogs! You're dad will forever be your biggest fan but you earned a legion of big fans because of your authenticity. Thanks for including us, the viewers, into your life!

[@melj2841]

Bought a revenge range shirt finally to support the channel!! So terribly sorry for your loss Brad. The tribute to your dad nearly made me tear up. I could truly feel the warmth of his presence thru your collage. It was wonderful. Thanks for putting yourself out there the way you have to the world with asking for nothing in return. You’re a great guy.

[@YourPalJamieEllis]

I almost gasped during that last hand--absolute nerves of steel. It's been really fun watching you get comfortable with bigger and bigger moves.

[@steve8551]

I really like the inclusion of the actual time in the upper right. Gives a better feel for the frequency of your playable hands.

[@johnlogiudice4415]

Absolutely outstanding video tribute for your Dad.......you can hear how proud he is of you in his voice. All the best for your and family during this time.

This was Awesome! I’ve been watching you for years now. Just recently got back into watching and BOY did I have BUBBLE GUTS when I felt like I was sitting at such a big poker game with. You MADE it Bud!

Man I lost last night down $600 on a king high flush against Ace high flush. But your videos sorta keep my head held high and continue to get greater at poker 😁

[@cobeymagee443]

Very sorry to hear about your dad, Brad. I can empathize with your loss. I lost my dad to dementia in January. I think it's really cool that the vlog has provided you with so many opportunities to preserve the time you spent with him, to go along with all the great memories. Best of luck on the felt. Thanks for your contribution and I look forward to meeting you in the near future.

[@rorypicaut9742]

It’s awesome that you can keep up a positive attitude when either running bad or taking a bad beat. I really enjoy your color commentary, analogies, and descriptions of your fellow players. (🤣) It’s nice to see someone show the ups and DOWNS of playing poker. I’m only a 2/5 grinder while still working a full-time job but hope to transition sooner rather than later to being a poker player full-time. I’m sure I’m not the only one you inspire. Thanks for what you do!!

[@tristinkesick6729]

Condolences to you and your family, Brad!

[@ericedwards9658]

So sad to see this Brad. Deepest condolences for you and your family. It’s amazing how grief changes a person’s physical appearance. I could tell you were grieving even before you announced. Please give yourself space to grieve. And what a lesson to all the dads out there. What an incredible father. If you’re a father, lift and praise the passion pursuits of your children. When you pass, they will pursue them even stronger because they know you supported and encouraged them. God bless Owen Family.

[@MrGohanwill]

I've enjoyed watching your style evolve over the course of the vlog. Excellent work my man. Will be meeting you in person at a meet up game in the future.

[@txbill2512]

Brad. I've been watching your videos for awhile now, probably over the past year and a half to two years. In that time, I'm not sure I've seen you, in one session, miss more flops, draws, etc.... You had to grind this session out like I've never seen before. I was waiting to smash like to get you to some big hands but they never came. The few times you did hit (top pair, top kicker,) you never felt comfortable with what you had based on the board run out. This for me was a great example of how to play the game when you aren't hitting the hands, when are somewhat card dead, and yet it really wasn't about the cards in your hand. This was a great video for us poker amateurs to learn from.

[@FrzhHD]

I needed this today

[@jackmccrimlisk821]

“We’re down 1500 from the tournament and 1500 from the cash game. Down 3000 for the day. We pick up ace nine suited utg +1!”

[@losyart]

Wow that A10 turned into the bluff is a pure gangster play

[@armanbozkurt7723]

Great vlog Brad! Somehow I experienced something like a déjà vu feeling with the plays you made at the exact same limits on a vlog you made a long while ago!

[@dariusk.4493]

I have learned so much by watching you over the years. I love your comments and how you explain everything. U have made me a better poker player for sure. Also like your honesty. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@arrowheadzzz]

Man, that final hand bluff on the river... very cool stuff! I very much appreciated your commentary on your thought process, which was lit! I know I could have never pulled that off, no matter what stakes. Even if the opponent had called and won, it would still have been a masterful bluff from your part! Even better with them folding what looked like a solid hand, of course :-) Not gonna lie, at times in the past I have thought you have moved up the stakes too fast, but seeing your content now and realising you are playing at a much higher skill level than me (which is not a high praise in itself as I struggle with my game), it makes me humble up. Good game! Hope to see a lot of such high quality stuff from you going forward!

[@derekdamore1897]

I play at the lodge havnt got to meet you yet as it’s always packed when you’re there. Watched form episode 1 til now. Sorry about your Dad man, I know what that’s like from personal experience. I wish I could say it gets better but some days just hit. Way to keep crushing and keeping your head up. Great inspiration brotha thank you!

Thanks for another amazing video Brad! I appreciate all that you do for the poker community! You are a shining star! My thoughts are with you.

[@zachwells6101]

Beautiful play on the AhTh hand, love how you 3 bet bluff shoved with a hand that has showdown as you're blocking most full houses the opponent can have and it seems like he had a middle-flush type hand

[@magoshubert]

Sorry about your dad, Brad. Keep it strong as you always do. Much love from a fan that has been watching you since episode 1. :)

[@BradOwenPoker]

Thanks for watching since then

[@furbreath]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. It’s amazing how you’ve improved your NL Holdem game. I would however like to see you make a few river bets that look like blocker bets when you have the nuts to induce an occasional big river raise & to make your opponents think twice about bluff raising you large. All in all, I’m super impressed both with your poker skills level, and with the impressive vlog videos. No one puts out better poker vlogs than you. 👌👏

You’ve developed into quite the high stakes poker pro and a huge influencer - I understand why WPT picked you as an ambassador. You put everything out there. Watching the downswings is tough, but enjoy when you play well and enjoy success. Looking forward to seeing you play against legends, like Phil Ivey. Best of luck.

[@JethroXP]

I've been watching the channel for the past two years, but only recently had the chance to play in a real cash game for the first time in 5 years. It was a 1-2 game at the Atlantis in Reno. I ended up winning $800 on an epic call against a big stack bully who had already gotten me to fold four hands. As soon as I shoved my chips in the middle he declared "you win" meaning he had nothing. It felt so good. One of the other players at the table asked if I play a lot and I said "No, but I do watch a lot of Brad Owen".
