Hi Brad, I was wondering if I could get a more in depth hand review of the first hand. You mentioned that you put him on two pair, and the only combo that really makes sense to me with the pre-flop aggression is AQo. But due to your removal wouldn't there only be 6 combos left? AK and 99 are definitely there too but you also have removal to 4 AK combos. Would love to hear any additional thoughts!

Another lunch break with Brad. Such a good one too. Was hoping for more pots against Doug. Love the Omaha hands too.

[@sirinongorur5676]

I really enjoy watching your videos and I have followed you for a while now. I must say that your game is becoming more and more aggressive and you get yourself in spots that are very speculative or where you are willing to make big moves. This is fine as long as it doesn't backfire but you can easily get 'speed blind' with all the action going on. I have also noticed that you're more willing to gamble when you're down for the session which makes it more likely you can end up losing very big. I remember you used to have a very solid game and as a poker player speaking from experience, a solid and balanced game is winning in the long run. If you don't slow down a bit and re-evaluate your game strategy I am afraid you can go broke very fast, my guesses would be within a year or two but I hope I'm wrong. Great content though and good luck at the table.

That's a good question actually. It just means with bomb pots. The bomb pots occur every dealer change and they're double board PLO like you might've seen in this video. Except in 1/3 they're for smaller amounts. I think it's $5 or $10 preflop and the most you can lose is a few hundred.

Hey Brad! I’ve been watching you for about a year now and love all the content you make. However, when I first got into watching poker videos, I would see your videos come up a lot but dismissed them because the titles / thumbnails came across as a little cheesy and maybe just click bait. It was only after maybe a couple of months of KZbin recommending your videos that I decided to give you a shot and found myself loving your content! It makes me think how many others might not have clicked on your video either. Personally I think you content is WAY better than what your thumbnails and titles represent. From the script writing, pacing of the videos, the emotional beats you hit along the way, it’s all genuinely just very good story telling. You make it accessible to newbies like me, but technical enough for seasoned players to follow. If I may, I’d recommend you have a look into interviews that Colin & Samir do with creators when they talk about thumbnails and titles. I think it would really help you out! 😊 either way, keep up the good work - love everything you make!
