DREAM RUN!! Chip-Leading Major WPT Event and $99k+ for 1st!! Must See!! Poker Vlog Ep 213

[@BradOwenPoker]

Hey guys, a couple of things that I wanted to mention... if you're interested in helping Randy and his wife through this tough time, here's a link to his GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/randy-gordon-poker-dealer-friend-and-fish?+share-flow-1& Here's a link to two original videos from the brand new second channel, including every tournament all in from this episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npDWcqWJjapjY6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/b36yZ4uGp9GjfK8 Last thing is that for the freeroll on WPT Global, use promo code "Brad" and the $10k freeroll is at 4pm PST* (not 5pm like I mentioned in this video)

[@droctagon529]

Randy is terrific people. I hope his GFM raises heaps.

[@vladman1]

The promocode doesnt work, says invalid bonus code when registrering.

[@BradOwenPoker]

@@vladman1 Hmmm... it worked for me two days ago. You're definitely putting it in the right space for the "bonus code" and not the activation code?

[@BradOwenPoker]

@@droctagon529 Yeah, he's really a great guy. I've known him for 6-7 years and he's always been a big fan and avid supporter of poker vlogs. It's cool to see the community come together and take care of him but he still needs more assistance since he has a 6 mo-1yr timeframe ahead of him that will be extremely difficult.

[@antonywells8587]

Haha … this guys had too many bad beats! What a silly sweeping statement 😂

[@samoksner]

Was in tears hearing that Randy ended up with $25k, wishing him the best on his fight against cancer! GIVE EM HELL RANDY!!!

[@MrJimmyboy262]

I love that lines like, “service stops by our table” could be Brad just giving us random details or prefacing a joke, which always makes the jokes more funny.

[@martinhulland3715]

Brad as a guy from the UK facing Cancer for the 4th time and lucky enough to be in a country that has free health care I was worried for Randy knowing the situation with healthcare. It was an extremely generous gesture getting him that 25k and giving him that boost and hope. I play in a free poker league twice a week and last month I was lucky enough to win a trip to Malta by winning a Regional final and stake into what will be my 1st tournament with cash prizes. I have watched all your vlogs to date and have learnt a lot from you even at 65 years young lol which I know has improved my game. You have my respect and thanks

[@danlevitan396]

Love to see what Brad is doing as a brand ambassador and also for Chance Kornuth to step up and help Randy out. Props to the person covering the other 4%. Great vlog as always.

[@CRAIG5835]

[@guglielmobalzola3170]

"a boat so big that a giant could drive it" He has clearly seen all the comments on his previous blog loving the baby-boat joke... Great callback, we love it Brad

[@roguemerlin1969]

Sorry to hear about your friend Randy, with cancer. Glad he won the 500k, hope it gives him a little help with the financial side of his treatment. I have been battling bladder cancer for years. I've never had radiation therapy, but my chemo is pretty bad. One round and I'm messed up for 7-8 months, if I have a second round, it's another 8 or 9 months, and then it starts over. Can't seem to get my weight much above 130 when my normal used to be 160-170. I've made peace with my condition through God, I don't fear my death and He gives me strength through the bad times.

[@FWCWrestler]

Good for Randy, awesome to see some run good for someone who has been dealt a rough hand. Hope he can continue the upswing

[@roguemerlin1969]

Brad, I'm surprised you didn't use Gabe Kaplan as your example. He was the star of Welcome Back Kotter, probably before your time, along with a very young co-star named John Travolta. He was a commentator on Poker After Dark, and a well-known cash game player around L.A.

[@navyjuice77]

With so much sadness in the world it’s such a awesome thing to see this man. I am glad your doing well brad and God bless to you all

[@beatsbyLSD]

Brad: "We'd like to take him to value town by way of our recently made water vehicle" LMAO.

[@RodEubank]

Brad. This is one of my favorite Vlogs of yours up to date. When the COVID-19 pandemic started I started watching past episodes of WPT tournaments. After getting a little bored with the old WPT videos I luckily found your poker Vlogs. I've been hooked ever since. I was thrilled to hear about you becoming a WPT ambassador and it is so cool you cashed at the first WPT series you attended as an ambassador. I even got to see myself talking with you on FanJolt in this Vlog!🤟

[@johncarter8539]

[@paulcartwright5250]

Really have enjoyed all your blogs for a long while now Brad. Have learned a lot watching, as your game has also improved so much. I play in San Antonio at San Antonio Card House (SACH). Many of us can't wait to play in Austin at the Lodge. We hope you would come to SA some time for some of the best Tex Mex and margaritas in the world. Remember the Alamo, and look me up any time. Hope to meet you some day and trade some stacks with you. Paul "Hoss" Cartwright 😁👍

[@sammolter9448]

Great segment brad I think your annalasyst of your hands helps me ask the questions I need to be a better poker player. I been watchin you and subscribed since the begining playin now about 27 years. Cant stop learning thats why i love poker.As a tournament player that tries to play cash. My rule is play the tourney not the cards when faced with situation that may handicap my stack, or When im chip leader if its not worth the risk of my chips. I made this rule up its for me I guess when I started playing. I thought what is the right time to fold aces preflop to a all in? I dont think I still have ever folded aces preflop to a raise but I seen others do it , and needed to know when its the play maybe ill figure it out one day.

[@northcabinent4222]

congratulations Brad . you are the man that deserves this position. your hard work is awe inspiring

[@Stiller]

YES, it’s impressive how entertaining your vlogs are. In fact I learnt a lot from you by listening to all you say in every spot you are in. And of course, when I finish watching it I am impatient with a new one!! Keep doing your VLOGs it’s so instructive to me as a french guy. Huge love from France!!

Love seeing all the T8 success. I won my first ever live tournament with that hand many years ago and it's been in my range ever since. It's the nuts :P

[@CRAIG5835]

Hi from New Zealand Dale. A reg in our game who has now passed away, used to LOVE T8, his name was Collin Gregory, so we call T8 Collin Gregories to this day. Actually over the years we gave nick names to nearly ever possible holding. We played Manila, its poker but with a Hot deck (7's up) and is sort of like Limit Holdem for the betting, no all ins and only one card on the flop with each of the next 4 streets being one card at a time with betting after each card, you could only bet with two raises per card if 3 players or more, but if in a hand with just two players, you can keep raising it, or Rock it as we call it. JT we call Slim Jim, or Slimbo for short.

[@sidearm45]

I've been watching you for a while now. I think this was your best video so far. You weren't playing for an 80k buy in and Polk wasn't at your table. But your friend made out well when he really needed it and you had a very relaxed, good time. Nice pass as well.

[@SV-VA]

What a GREAT way to take care of Randy the dealer!!! I love this, Brad!!! So cool. :)

[@gilbertrodriguez690]

Oh Brad, I love how your game has progressively gotten better and the best part is that you haven't changed who you are the whole time. Whatever you do don't lose sight of why you play and why you vlog. Don't turn into a Daniel, bad for the game. I really hope I get to run into you one day, would love to stack you with pocket J's. Lol

[@gordonbelle1375]

Would appreciate a tad more scenery footage, especially when you visit new casinos. A little more video coverage of the casino floor, the restaurants and bars, and the surrounding area to get a sense of things would be really cool, as opposed to quick cuts where you blink and you miss it. That may just be me though. I always prefer footage that flows as opposed to footage that jumps in documentaries, which is in a way what the blog is.

Just started watching your vlogs. .. what a lovely, honorable lad you are.... in a despicable industry you have your head on right kid. It's a pleasure to watch you..... some truly great comedy in this youtube channel as well. I am so glad your father died PROUD of you... my father died disgusted with me and my choices despite my successes in life and my mother is dying now and she hates me and tells me so.

Brad, I hope you'll be able to make it to Thunder Valley's WPT event. None scheduled yet but they always run at least 2 WPT events a year. Plus it's not too far from Santa Rosa, your hometown

And last week you asked a viewer in the comment if he was interested in a boat for his child (referencing the small boat you made at the table) I almost choked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ChaseHub]

Why'd you split the pot at 24:30+ ? AJ is a double pair of a higher amount than A8, right? I'm new, thanks for any info guys.

[@TinyMikeMike]

hey brad, i feel like your betting is what gives away your cards. if you have middle pair you bet light. same with draws and not the nuts. when you do have the nuts your betting confidently. you should try and mix it up with the amount you bet. 1/4 when you have middle pair or top top with a wet board is obvious to a good player that your weak.
