"...I pick up pocket aces. Historically, this has been one of my favorite hands to see pre-flop." 🤣🤣🤣

[@leonardogomez5781]

Man up against Js, not sure how anyone would have played that any differently

[@alangrund5031]

Historically viewed as a desirable starting hand. Brilliant!!

[@proffessorclueless]

We all know that quite rightly 5 2 is his real pre-flop favorite.

[@swapnildeshmukh7113]

nah 🤣🤣🤣

[@thepokemaster9388]

I died

[@Doetinchummer]

Rest in peace Doyle, forever a poker legend!

[@hash.21]

Man it hurts

[@Bynming]

Oh wow it was true today... cheers to Doyle

[@FatherDingo]

What?! Did he actually pass away?...

[@ultimatechickenhorsesweat2614]

That actually hurts me no way

[@andrelorenz2931]

Rip......😢

[@mickkelly3662]

You're the best Brad. RIP Doyle. In my first tournament, I hit quad eights and was gifted a copy of Super System 2. A great insight in to the game for a complete novice. Its been down hill ever since.

[@n_a8917]

lol :)

[@losyart]

Lol so that book isnt so good if u down hill

[@diggerblair7460]

You know that's funny my very first tournament was a 1,000 dollar by in and the very first hand I hit quad 8's and got two callers too triple up and I ended up winning the game and from there on been hooked RIP Doyle very sad day in the poker world such a great guy and legendary poker player you will be missed

[@smitty5024]

​@@losyartdownhill is good lmao. Uphill is bad. 😂

[@michaelmorgenroth6596]

As a dealer, seeing Brad throw that hundo to the dealer on that bluff catch with Q2 makes me want to move to Texas

[@flacotheglitch]

At these stakes it’s a lot more common than you think….. any state. However I am FROM Texas and there’s lots of reasons to love it

[@heinrichh.6369]

Dear Bradley, I've said it before and I will probably say it again in the future. This has to be my favorite episode of your vlog yet. Your humor as well as your poker ability were A-Tier. Not only did you turn what looked to be a nightmare session around but you also created a highly funny and insightful episode when it comes to aspects of table dynamics and meta game. Keep up the excellent work.

[@BradOwenPoker]

Thank you very much. I love sessions like these when we have to overcome tough situations and make difficult decisions to end up booking a win. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[@SigilOfAletheia]

Fly high Doyle. You're forever loved and remembered in the Poker World

[@randylahey8207]

Awesome to get a Brad video the day after learning of the passing of the true 🐐. Doyle dominated cash games for literally decades, while being far ahead of the tournament curve as well. There will never be another..RIP. Thanks Brad

[@menglongzzz]

honestly, I’m so impressed how Brad can make these videos so engaging. Yes, his stakes are not as high as Hustler, but the quality of these videos makes us sweat with him. It’s so much fun! Thank you again, Brad! Hope you come to Asia again someday for a meetup game❤❤

[@jcw8955]

I like these offstream vlogs a lot more than the Hustler ones that Rampage and Mariano do when they’re just using footage from Hustler’s and not making it their own like Brad is doing

[@cheevzzz]

@@jcw8955 That makes 0 sense to me, its basicly the same, just better camera views. U rather watch the felt and his chips than everyones faces and the action?

[@dickoon]

I can't believe that second $7k call; man, you have heart and commitment, as well as great people-reading skills! Glad you gutted it out and booked a huge win!

[@daveroberts9575]

Had my head in my hands going ...oh no don't do it. 😁

[@sdmit2000]

Looks like a huge -EV call long term, but maybe he knew something

[@dmed312]

Brad, you are the absolute best tipper to the dealers. Thank you for making our jobs awesome.

[@brandonsanders9674]

tears for Doyle Brunson's passing...forever a legend at the poker table and as a good man! RIP 😢❤✌

[@gutshotjoejoe]

Epic comeback, Brad. We were on the emotional roller coaster with you. Thanks for the ride. RiP Doyle.

[@ultiblue9]

Not going to lie, it was my second time watching the video when you started the lullaby. I too enjoy falling asleep on Monday nights to some Brad Owen poker. Sweet dreams.

[@sgw7148]

Wow, that was a marathon! Must be so mentally draining to have to work your way back in to positive territory after getting burned several times. That’s the kind of mental toughness that it takes to be a pro. Way to go Brad!

[@ashevillecomics637]

This exactly

[@tankeuphilippe3963]

27:02 “we need to call YT to schedule an appointment with the maintenance guy so he can fix the like button” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Always amazed by new lines Brad drops in the vlogs

[@emcho___]

Wow what a session. Those 7k bets/calls were tense

[@nickd5422]

Historically, pocket Aces have been one of my favorite hands to see preflop 😅

[@corrleone68]

I spit out my beer when Brad sang the poker version of "Hush Little Baby". Classic moment.

[@thecocktailian2091]

That was the most dynamic session you have recorded and shown to your loyal legions. Very impressive.

[@fastactioncasino]

That was an epic grind. I was very worried once I saw how the video started that you were going to go on tilt. Very difficult to recover when losing aces to a set. You kept your composure and you overcame adversity. Great job! RIP to the poker legend Doyle, he will forever be missed.

[@Trailer__Swift]

Wow. What an intense session. I was feeling depresso AF about halfway through 😂

[@jojo1967]

Love that you show some frustrating and losing sessions as well. Rooting for you Brad!

[@maverick5162010]

Wow! Have watched nearly ALL your blogs and this one, easily the most stress filled, gutsy, exciting play I have ever seen. $7000 call with not much, geez! Great work! :)

[@andrewjack31]

Literally the smartest way I've ever seen a YT'er tell people to smash a like.

[@douglaskunz4487]

Brad - Just love your vlog, Because of your content and commentary, which is smart and sometimes even comedic, But mostly because it can be used as a training tool for all Thank You Also will see the Great Doyle Bronson again one day. I always remember our first meeting at the Five Diamonds. You were so kind that day to give me some encouragement and a great autograph too. The Poker World will surely miss a Legend. 😢

[@stongnyid]

I especially like to fall asleep to episode 194. It's not that it's boring, it's just that Brad has a slow, calm, even voice.

[@jamj6485]

That’s not calm, that’s sad voice from all the bad beats

[@XYGSteve]

Underrated comedy: "we pick up pocket aces. Historically, this has been one of my favorite hands to see preflop."

[@idkjustchangingmyname7343]

Just found out about Doyle. Rip. Glad people like you Brad are continuing to build the poker community he started.

[@danielgarland9838]

There isn't any problem hitting the like and sub buttons as the humor and the breakdown are exquisite! #LFG!

[@MrDainbrammaged]

Thank you B-rad on a very somber day I enjoy the video as always especially the fact that you put the rough beats on here as we all go through them but it's reassuring that even the best get the short end sometimes that's what's great about this game. Love ya Doyle thanks for a ton of great memories and getting this great game known Alot better!! Prayers to the Brunson family, Heaven is having an amazing game tonight!!!❤😢🙏🏻

[@chad0x]

Hard to keep going in cash when you take such a beating early on. Massive respect to you Brad. I've been getting beaten silly for the last few days with similar hands. Just got to keep getting it in good. After seeing some more beatings as the video progressed I can only say that I'd have ducked out well before you did. Nothing was going right for you.

[@RonBand01]

That last picture should be on your wall at home. I was fortunate enough to be in Vegas and meet Mr. Brunson on a couple of occasions in the early 2000's. Since I don't play poker for money, I talked with him about his first book about his life. He was a very down to earth man and even talked about his wife and poker kids. I expect many salutes to him on KZbin this week. Glad to saw fit to show a memory.

[@nine9nevamine]

Only after watching hours of your videos, do I notice the subtle sarcasm. Absolutely love it

[@user-zm1ir7dz1o]

BRAD!!! That was amazing. I watch all of your videos but never feel the need to comment. UNTIL NOW!!! Best video to date. Your humor and the way you played (not lucked) your way out that giant hole was truly inspiring. I am a loyal fan and will continue to be.

[@hockeyhalod]

Gotta say the Brad Owen ASMR is very relaxing for me. Just make sure people falling asleep hit repeat on your video for those sweet view counts.

[@michelleb5637]

Another great vlog in the books. Your lullaby was an unexpected bonus😂. Lastly, raise a glass to Doyle Brunson, from one poker loving player who appreciated all he brought to the game❤

[@parrits]

whenever i’m having a bad day like that i usually just wait till the next day for a better one. You def got grit man good W

[@willisisawesome]

I typically watch at work but today im watching before falling asleep. Crazy stuff... loved the signing. Loved Daniel. Great vlog Brad.

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

2:35 the dry humor kills me everytime 😂😂

[@YoDeNN]

Those first few hands are just absolutely brutal bro. You played them so well but somehow they are just getting everything they need! Makes me feel not as bad because I swear it happens to me all of the time. Especially online.

[@HoldemHarvey]

Wild ride Brad. Sometimes you've got to go with your instincts in big pots, amazing call there.

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

I’m convinced AKo is your arch nemesis. Whether in your hands, or opponents. So rough bro, I just went thru that today. Coolered on 3 flips

[@INIGHTSTALIKER]

Hell of a session. Sometimes battling all the way back from some bad runouts feel better than huge steamrolls. Sometimes. I think this was one of those times.

[@Taterooo]

i’m glad i’m not the only one that falls asleep to your videos LOL

[@ronaldcodner2187]

RIP Doyle, absolute legend. I’ve really never flown before…the beginning of this video where you’re in the plane and you can see the storm is INSANE. So nice above the clouds and probably treacherous underneath. So dope!

[@JujuBuckets33]

“I was clicking buttons and I got there”😂

[@Vahn421]

"I don't want to play Doug heads up because he has slightly more heads up experience than me." LMAO!

[@Aboozie123]

Brads commentary is such top tier

[@drewjuliot4489]

RIP to a poker legend 💔 Doyle will be forever remembered 😔

[@asafcohen6528]

I love these videos because you never put the most exciting hand in the title. Leaves an exciting element of surprise

[@mjrich621]

Sick call with the Q2!! Glad to see you book a win at the lodge after a long tough session like that.

[@yrbadself]

Great job Brad. RIP Doyle - A true classy legend.

[@NyckulasLowe]

Grats on the session, Brad!!! That was a lot of fun to watch while also being pretty intense. Keep up the good work! 🍻

[@theodorehsu5023]

Good job with the comeback, even better you got revenge on Daniel (he got you good, then you caught him bluffing for a better stack).

[@michaelhank4353]

What a great photo of you and the Cardfather. Great video as well, in the words of Doyle from one of my favorite videos of yours “Eat my dust, sucker”

[@joel021782]

Not so sure why that caught me as hilarious, but you dropping that drink had me rolling.

[@switch_1368]

Quite literally laying in bed falling asleep and I got brad singing me a lullaby. Nothing gets better 😂

[@christophernicoll8207]

The lullaby was hilarious! I’ve passed out a time or two to the soothing Brad voice 😂

[@777ig8]

Brad watching you since 3 years and have to say your subtle ironic humor became impeccable! You will get back from your loosing streak , I know it ! Fingers crossed

[@MC-gj8fg]

Falling to sleep to poker VLOGs and streams was basically how I ended every day until my wife couldn't stand it anymore and now requires me to pass out to Supernatural re-runs.

[@chrishaines2745]

That call with Q2 was sick. Sick. Nice run Brad.

[@angpugnetti]

Glad I am not the only one who will put on the vlog to take a nap to. Literally a compliment though, lets me dream of poker

[@Malibyte56]

Very nice comeback, Brad. Brass balls on that $7k call. RIP Doyle, poker’s G.O.A.T.

[@jasonjenkins6672]

Long time subscriber, First time commenter. Great videos man. You help us all improve. This was a wild ride...hard to keep pushing after some of those beats. You've got ice in your veins!

[@davidadam1001]

It's 11:30 pm laying here watching your video trying to go to sleep so pretty sure you can see how hilarious that was lmfao 😂😂

[@alasdairmacdonald4685]

Hey Brad. Fantastic video, what a giggle. Poor Ben…😂 Of all the lullabies you’ve sung in the vlog this was my second favourite. ❤ RIP Doyle x

[@Pirate-vw6sn]

BRAD (With Aces and in a monotone voice) - "Historically this has been one of my favorite hands to see pre-flop." LMFAO YOU KILL ME MAN!!

[@chrisavelino2201]

Great comeback Brad! Showing real heart there...

[@mitchellanderson1242]

The intro trying to introduce the energy drink and promptly dropping it gets my sense of humor I lold

[@brittonaugust9446]

I gave the video a thumbs up the moment Brad started singing :)

[@FPSmoto]

LOL I was dozing off as you were talking about that players falling asleep to your videos. Good stuff.

[@dbeasleyphx]

It's so crazy but I was just trying to fall back asleep again at 2 AM when Brad starts joking about being ASMR.

[@kasperdewon8858]

So many crazy hands out there! Best episode ive ever seen!

[@cyrannodb]

"Pocket aces. Historically, this has been one of my favorite hands to see preflop" -- this was a legit literal laugh-out-loud moment for me. Excellently dry joke. 👍

[@danielhoffman5515]

"I'm not interested in playing Doug HU, because he has slightly more experience than me." This is the funniest thing you've ever said. Well played. (I'm sure many on the channel know Doug was considered the best in the world heads-up for a while.)

[@StreetSoulLover]

A5s is a pure punt. Q2 is a lovely call, villain only repping houses, which you block

[@robertcampbell4063]

Brad, that snap call with 2 pair and no kicker was EPIC!!

[@bradycoop]

Brad is funny as hell. His dry humor kills me

[@ian-kram]

Brad. Your content is truly amazing. I’ve been watching since you’ve first started getting big, and I look forward to watching you for many years onward and supporting you on ur poker journey.

[@ilpatriotplugs8682]

Hell of a hunt Brad! RIP Doyle.

[@riverboat123]

Watching this video made me feel like I was on a emotional roller coaster ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊 always awesome watching your videos. One thing I’ve heard you say a few times is that “It’s not polite to hit and run” which I totally agree, but sometimes I do it too because I’ve already been playing for 4-6 and to be honest at that point I’m tired and just want to leave while I’m up. RIP Doyle Brunson. 10-2 FOREVER

[@zerosilver87]

RIP Doug Branson ❤ Legend

[@Jaysweezy]

The like button was never broken…I just liked after the River….so the run good came late .being dead serious ,felt bad I didn’t like on the count down cause the flush didn’t come so I liked after and than his bluff got through ….crazy 👀

[@jonathanlocricchio8868]

It’s funny how I’m not the only one that falls asleep to your videos😅😂😂

[@101wildgoose]

Enjoying watching you on the comeback trail. Going to be an interesting year. RIP Doyle.

[@AldoRain87]

That lullaby is the official poker player lullaby from now on.

[@boydparks8716]

Seeing those Bradley dollars going the other way had my stomach in knots! What a session,burning the midnight oil😅😅

[@TheWarmestWaffle]

Rest in peace energy drink, forever a beverage legend!

[@rickrickard2788]

I wasn't going to comment, even though it was good to see you trust your gut, which was giving you the read you need to succeed... then I saw you say "RIP" to Doyle Brunson. First I'd heard of it, very sad news for those of us left behind, but not so, for the legend himself. He knew where his faith stood. I had a lot of fun, and liked playing 10-4 when I had the chance. Doyle said that's how you can tell a Pro from an avg. Joe- A Pro will always play 10-2. Cracked me up. I'll miss "Texas Dolly"- he always knew how to keep Helmuth in line, but he's in a far better place now, and at peace. 89 years. A fur bit-o-time to survive this planet. God Speed to his family & close friends.

[@vinnielachipmunk9940]

Omg I fell asleep watching this video. My partner paused the video because I fell asleep. Now I've woken up and begun watching and within a minute Brad says that some of you might be watching this to sleep right now.

[@rudymendoza6727]

I woke up when brad started singing

[@brichn]

Great session. Way to come out on top. Excellent call with the Q2 of spades.

[@duncanfromunderthebridge]

If I were Brad, I would’ve been so shell shocked playing at that location, especially after earlier in the day. I wouldn’t even be able to know if I want good hands or not. Seems like every good hand you’re dealt only causes you to lose the maximum when someone hits a 4-outer or something.

[@cksammi]

Hi Brad, I'm new to your videos. I just want to say thanks for sharing your losses because it's the reality with poker. I followed some other players but it seems all they show are winners so I got bored watching them. Also, I've been on a downswing and was getting ready to quit thinking it was me and everyone else was always winning. But watching a pro like going through tough losses and how you overcome them gets me motivated. Thanks again for being real and I really enjoy watching you play with step by step analysis, win or lose.

[@perrylbrawley]

RIP Doyle! Love you man and what you did for the game!

[@ryanallshouse999]

Btw brad pretty sure its "fist bump" not "fist pump"

[@BaylorBear77]

Awesome session to watch. A lot of players would take those early beats then tilt off everything and you hung in and sharpened up for the battle back. Cool session for aspiring players to see

[@gavinstrelitz1558]

Well done, tough session. Playing poker for a living requires such a strong mindset

[@bjbarlowe]

So much heart in this episode.

[@bhris8069]

The fact that I was dozing off right when brad brought up falling asleep to his videos… I feel attacked

[@dean5192]

Typical, extremely common, Brad owen top-tier content W.
