ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING Vanessa Selbst!!! New ALL TIME Biggest Win!! 25/50/100 NL! Poker Vlog Ep 211

Best episode yet. Not in terms of your winnings but the thought process in each situation and the final table of the hands dealt/played was great to see.

[@chrismoss8203]

Brad, I've been a small loser at the 2-3 and 3-5 games. Watching you for over a year you're not only improving my thinking of the game but also my confidence. Of all the instruction out there I think you're the best at explaining the thought process. I greatly appreciate what you've accomplished. Christopher Moss

[@donttreadonweeee9478]

This was by far my favorite VLOG from you to date. HUGE win and you played some great hands. Showing lots of patience as well.

[@cptxlobster]

Awesome win Brad! I was impressed with your 77s hand, you made the comment about the turn card and player's semi-bluff, "Not concerned about 10-8 or 9-8 since you don't have to turn those into bluffs." Very cool head while playing high-stakes, that's what separates pros from rec players like myself! Keep those videos coming!

[@ianstewart8241]

Keep up the grind Brad! Just an amateur rookie out here watching your every video hoping to learn more and more. From watching your vlogs to watching you on TV. Inspiring and exciting to watch someone transform and progress. Keep it up! Ian S. Columbus, Ohio

[@CreamySpoon]

23:30 Love the heat map. In the rare chance that I actually begin to study /evaluate my own play, I'll incorporate this.

[@novapokerplayer207]

I really like that heat map chart that shows the hands you were dealt. That's the first time I've ever seen it laid out that way, and it's a pretty cool concept. It's always tough when you're not getting dealt very many playable hands!

[@jonathanweininger7857]

I had a similar thought looking at that visualization. Really sharp analytics there and at the end of the video.

So ive known poker for a while but not in English terms and whilst im still learning there is the sheets with hand combinations, im aware that o = offsuit and s = suited but what is the difference between the light blue, yellow and gray square? I get that light blue you would always call or even raise. As to where gray becomes a fold. What would yellow be?
