This might be my favorite hero arc I've been around to witness. I wish you much success, good health, and cold beers. Cheers!

[@markusschellenberg4684]

Not sure about your probability calculations: You say (3:00) "it's unlikely he has a straight because I have a blocker". In fact probability falls from 15 to 11 percent. So you holding a king reduces his probability by 4 percent. I think so-called blockers are way over rated!

[@gunshipguy]

That was one of my most enjoyable episodes! Awesome job to you and your crew for putting it together. Great editing and commentary. I really appreciate the video cuts you guys inserted from past hands into the analysis you shared on the big hands; what you were thinking, why you saw it the way you did, as well as all the other observations you made to come to your decisions. I mean it was just freaking excellent from start to finish! I don't play, but really enjoy your vlogs!!!

[@edwardkain5006]

Big fan of Brad and think you have an excellent brain for NL strategy, but I think you’re thinking in the AQ was pretty bad. You seemed to overvalue that you hadn’t tripled as a bluff in the game yet and undervalued that this villain played the previous hand as a total station (allowing his to turn way more kings than normal) and it’s bad strategy to bluff stations.

[@HeathRost]

[@DieHardKINGS]

Damn, that ending felt like a farewell Brad.

[@supersmoo7377]

It seems to me when playing the 72 game, when facing mid-late position raises, you should ALWAYS be 3-betting 72. You balance it out with good hands, and other hands. It’s because opponents’ ranges widen in late positions and they’ll more likely fold pre-flop.

[@Sullayee]

@BradOwenPoker Have you considered adjusting your non-72o bluffing ranges when playing the 72o game? e.g. in the 2nd hand with AKo, I assume you take the same line with 72o. If so, you probably have =32 bluffing combos (72o, AKo). Does that concern you? Or do you believe the extra 200$/person covers the exploitability?

[@joeyp3094]

I think it's wild that when I started watching you and Andrew there was a vibe that you were somewhat tight but well educated on the game. Now you've become even more educated and are much more of an action player. Is that by design, the more you know the more you can expand how you play and what you play?

[@beforelandx]

good players play tight, great players expand their range and know how to max exploit aka garrett a

[@darklurker33]

Brad, it’s good that are always things you wish you do different after a session. That’s what differentiates poker players who get better from those who don't.

[@cwolf208]

I really need to do some reading on why super light bets on connected flops are somehow good for making money. I just do not understand why people bet 1/4 pot into a board with reasonable flush and straight draws. It only gives value to hands that connected and rarely gets folds. It *must* be predicated on the idea that you can make the reads super well and lay things down because it feels like chasing thin value just to lose a *huge* pot every so often.

[@gingervietnanesetv6816]

Brad I've been watching for the last 2 years. In my personal opinion, the days you lose bigger, you seem determined to get bluffs through rather than fold. Once you show 2 or 3 bluffs, the table are always more likely to call a bit looser. I don't mean to offend you, but it's worth remembering as I always like to watch you win!

One of The reasons you’re so successful, is your honesty with yourself and your followers.

Brad I’m pretty stoned so this question might not make sense but here we go. When you say something like “lifts the spirits a bit” after winning a pot, do you make a note that your spirits were lifted right after you play the hand or do you just come up with that as you watch it back? Sorry if that’s the worst comment you’ve ever read but I’m curious hahaha

Curious why we don’t raise the AK on the river in the 3b pot where we just called. Obviously against villains specific hand class it wouldn’t have worked, but villain shouldn’t have sets or 2p for river sizing, plus you may get AK off a chop sometimes.

17:00 dont beat yourself too much, i assume the solver there doesnt think that early position open call 3bet includes KTs and probably some worse combos, if you run those as the part of the oponent range i think the solver would agree that AQ is a 3bet there

[@ariera9873]

7 way (bomb pot) to flop with aces xx%? Gotta tread lightly (post) or go aggro if flop gives you more equity? Would ALMOST rather have middling suited connectors/gappers 5-8 (AA's and KK's nemesis). Not being able to raise opponents with junk hands out preflop makes navigating post a nightmare, especially when villain(s) commit at the river (polarization on steroids). Anyone put a good read together on bomb pot strategies yet? Recommended site find? Still quite a few players opting out/bathroom break during bp's these days.

[@klauseba]

Uff, I'm familiar with that bad tactic you mentioned at 14:00 "we showed a lot of strenght pre-flop, we're gonna continue showing strength"... and I end up putting more and more money into a hand that doesn't even deserve a call, let alone a raise. I think it's called sunk cost fallacy where we have to continue because we already invested so much. My advice is try to also read the opponent's body language, mouth, eyes, breath, level of comfort, how fast he calls, if he can afford to gamble/lose a lot of money for fun, what image you show with your tone of voice/body language, previous bluffs...etc. Your voice saying "all in" at 15:43 sounds weak, not gonna intimidate every opponent :P plus he might think that YOU were the one who missed the flush :P

You didn't have to 3 bet that big hand. When you size up your opponents strategy and chip count and the position in that position I just say hey he's playing it right and I can't do a thing accept get out of the hand and I either check or fold to any bet. That would have saved you money / percentages and if you can see that position again try to save your money.

[@philip-op6de]

This really comes down to knowing your opponent Bradley….here’s the thing, you have to be very careful who you decide to bluff off your stack to. The bad players…and this was definitely a bad player…just can’t be bluffed a lot of the times. It’s best just to try and not bluff people like that. A guy told me that a long time ago and I always took it to heart. Keep your head up bro, you’re a solid player. I know the swings from big wins to big loses is very hard. Go out and do something fun and relax before you play next time (:
