The Lodge Card Club is a members-only social club in Round Rock, Texas (just north of Austin). With 24/7 cash games and 2+ tournaments per day, The Lodge is THE place to play poker in central Texas. The Lodge Live is streamed every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 3PM CT.
You never know what you might see on The Lodge Live stream. You might see Pocket Aces vs Pocket Kings. You may see the nut straight lose to a full house after the board pairs on the river. There's a good chance you will see loads of straddles (and double straddles, and triple straddles). Players go all-in blind or play poker hands after looking at just one card. That's just what poker is like in Texas!
The stream regularly features Lodge owners Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Doug Polk. Players like Rampage, Mariano, and Igor Kurganov has also graced The Lodge Live felt. And who knows? One day The Lodge may even host players like Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, or similarly huge poker names.

when you play like an aggro fish you lose it all quick, or build a lucky stack and then lose it all just as quickly.

Poker is a fickle mistress. One minute you're up a million, the next your kids don't go to college, to borrow from "Trading Places"😅

[@DG-kq2el]

You mean a lucky fish 😂

[@LtotheB]

I came to post this 🙂

[@Dekogangster207]

It always looks like that and always ends up the same. Reminds me of stream with Tesla

[@jimallinx]

I know the table was sick when he bluffed off the $80k lol. Always a race to see who can pick up a hand against the whale

[@Dmatafonov23874]

Well, he lost everything not against a "hand". Just been unlucky - flopped two pair vs turned set is simply a cooler

[@LEFTaTIP]

Never going to criticize players like Texas Mike he played the game the way he wanted to play and he had a great run...but over all, thats why the poker game is good because of players like Texas Mike. Poker is a humbling game.

[@jeffreyjewell75]

He was only lucky at first. ZERO SKILL 😂….. easy ATM

[@bomclaren6897]

I think the most important question is, what kind of jerky was he eating?

When you keep winning via running cards, the sun run is probably not going to last. But I love watching this guy play.

How interesting

[@angelokozonis7151]

Did Texas Mike play any actual poker?

[@brock83995]

No he knows he can run people’s lower bank roll, guys actually annoying

[@brianpotter2812]

Good job Freddy. I LOATHE those guys who get cocky (LAGs) and think they can bully the table when they keep getting lucky. Eventually it runs out!

[@fedea82]

He's not just any lag, he's a whale. A good lag destroys most players with skill edge, because they know when to press the gas and when to pull the brakes. I love whales though, they have put the most amount of money in my pocket.

[@guanaco103]

[@phillipcabral5206]

Did anybody check in on this guy? Is he OK?

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

23:53 AHAHAHHAAHAHAA!!!! all that run good goes poof in one idiotic play. Freddy looks like a guy that does hits on people in a back alley with piano wire..... well at least at the poker table he is a pure assassin.

[@alexandersnow5867]

Can’t help himself. Dudes panting thinking about getting it all in with absolute trash. What a brilliant display

[@mykelengieza7057]

Polk is the only person who can spend 20 minutes explaining why you should call a raise with pocket aces pre-flop....dude loves the sound of his voice...take it from someone who used to suffer from this affliction

[@dylanbanks3656]

mike just loves the game and is good for the game

[@drakecoleman9364]

This kid wrecked the game, was nice and chill, and you guys bash him and try to act like your better. Then he loses it all and keeps a cheerful and friendly demeanor, while fastass Otto Rages, and you guys kick Texas Mike in the dirt. I've lost hope for good people to triumph over toxic people

[@mikew9334]

Skull said it best. He won two bracelets by running hot.

[@dfamily2385]

Im sure after that game hes gonna awake for 48hrs. He blew that 100k profit. Hes smiling but deep inside hes hurt and depress.

[@Divinevert]

Texas Mike plays huge games regularly. I'm not saying he's a great player, but these aren't huge swings for him.

[@DexterPlastic419]

I played in the bigo braclet event last year. Texas mike sat at my table. I watched him pot over and over again again until he busted. He plays with no fear. It doesnt alway work but there is an art to being agro..

[@timq6224]

To be fair, Freddy was in with the best hand every single time. Mike stacking him 3x was just a fluke.

[@NotInAsia]

That blonde dealer is so gorgeous.

Classic Texas Mike lol

[@Pokerbrosmtt]

Damn he went from winning every all ins to losing every all in… the unnecessary pre flop jam gonna make him broke if he keeps playing bingo instead of poker.

You have the set up to say the Gretzky hand but lacked the knowledge to follow up with the “vs the Lemieux”. Squandered opportunity 😢

His total disregard for money is disgusting.

[@Uduplr]

Can I drive down, from KCMO, to the lodge and get in to see a game? I know there’s a hourly fee. I could show up with about 10K.

[@Uduplr]

What do most of these guys do for a living? Just wondering how they earned the money to sit down and gamble so much of it

[@2011blueman]

What I love about poker is that massive donks like Texas Mike think they played the hands well when they get incredibly lucky, so they continue to play terribly.

[@jc624]

Does Texas Mike have a brother named Bossmanjack?

[@sog1272]

When you are sun running one of the hardest parts is to CHOOSE to get of the run and play tight to persevere profits. I learned this the hard way, but now when I atleast 2 to 3X my stack, I never put more than 30% of my stack at risk AGAINST aggression without the nuts or 2nd nuts...and I'm defo not betting or raising more than 30% of my stack into someone without the nuts/2nd nuts. That being said whale will whale and maybe I would do the same if I had fuck you money like that. Best.
