Your video came up in my algorithm. I don’t normally watch new people but i clicked on your video and really liked your content. Best of luck this summer.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the ride.

[@jonhughes7264]

Good luck in the next one. Great content.

[@quintenfranks8024]

Big man when are you playing cash next

[@Knicks977]

I really enjoy your vlogs keep it up

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you Knicks ❤

[@dylanherrick2981]

I play cash games and find it extremely hard to adjust to tournaments. I feel like such a donkey whenever I play one, feel like I’m spit balling, guessing a lot on what to do. I’m going to keep up with your WSOP vlogs, you’re a great teacher!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thanks Dylan! I was also a lil rusty this summer but feel like I've shaken that. We'll get a deep run real soon.

[@extremelylucky999]

Good job on the intro. Evaluate those analytics and stay laser focused on 75% retention after 60 seconds. From there, a channel grows!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Nobody is here to see me :( they want poker, give em poker!!!!

[@Michael-kj6gf]

what a slowroll for us with the A8

I need to be a better camera man!!

[@danielgarland9838]

You fought the great fight! I appreciate how you produced this vlog! Also I see where you are closing in on 15K subs! I'm confident you will get that doubled and possibly to 50K before the end of the year! Best wishes in your next one!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thanks Daniel ❤️

[@migsmcl]

Great stuff man. I enjoyed how you highlighted the big blind messing round and you just enjoying it rather than calling the floor. Super serious players are such a pain. Great content. Keep it up. I learn from watching you in tough spots and seeing how you navigate them. My calling range has been too tight. You've loosened it

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yeah it's all part of the fun tbh, it's clear he's just messing around so no point being a shtick in the mud about it! Glad you liked the video ❤

[@RollOnTable88]

why did the floor stop you from filming??

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

You're technically not allowed to film, which I completely respect and I won't argue with, but I think some floormen turn a blind eye while others impose the rule. There's a lot of great WSOP content out there with holecards in em from top vloggers, hopefully I can continue to record as well!

[@chrismanzoni3586]

It’s a double standard and it’s stupid. You should be able to get permission ahead of time, you have enough subscribers and viewers. Just irritates me that they selectively enforce the rules.

best content from the WSOP2024. Thank you!

No no. Thank YOU!! ❤

[@andrewsimon6787]

What does it mean to block in poker? lol I’m just learning to play 😅

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

To bet small! Like 25% or 33%

[@andrewsimon6787]

@@garyblackwoodpoker ohhh okay... Maybe to kind of throw them off? Incentivize a call instead of a larger bet from them all while getting to see a faily cheap river. Thanks Gary!

[@evingmadeez5008]

I'm seeing more & more Kx suited is like Aces to these GTO wizards

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

9 big blinds with my Kx suited, surely it’s ok

[@Fignuts35]

Suited king x is definitely shoveable with under 10bb. Especially in a 6max.

[@Jimmy_James79]

As8s with 21bb on the button to a BB all-in with 13bb is a call there? Thanks for the content - love the short intro! haha

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

You tell me mate 😂😂 I thought it was a call? Happy to be told it’s a fold

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

Seems close, I would call. The preflop chart I use shows BB jamming most of their Ax hands with a few calls sprinkled in, shoving most of their pairs, again with a few calls, KQ, KJ, QJ, then randomly K3 and K4s but not any other Kx hands, I would say A8 is ahead of the range most players are reshoving there imo

[@Jimmy_James79]

@@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781 Thanks for the data! I was curious not mocking the play @garyblackwoodpoker

[@MK-tc6kg]

Got a catch phrase expansion for ya, "hit the Bath House" or "in the Bath House" holding Jay boys full of Kings.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I don’t get it

[@Professionalcynicalist]

Gazza B has the balance of a funambulist 😅

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Hahahaha it’s all about the balance, even with the camera!!

[@Fignuts35]

I have a bit of serious question. How difficult is it for you to bounce back and forth from cash games to tournament play? Also, do you study a bunch before the WSOP or do you just study throughout the year?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Not difficult at all, although I haven’t done as much MTT studying as I should have done. Getting some in now though :)

[@Fignuts35]

Really appreciate your interaction with we the peanut gallery in the comments. But honestly your vlog is definitely one of my favorites between your content in LA, Las Vegas, the UK, and Europe. Have you considered visiting Texas?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

@@Fignuts35 The comments are what drive me to make videos! I've played in Texas a few times, will for sure go back one day, love playing at The Lodge and will need to check out the new room when it opens!

[@nicholasogburn7746]

In the grim darkness of 40k (chips) there is only variance, and the laughter of thirsting poker gods.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

We are but mere mortals in their grace, offering a thousand virgins unto them in exchange for a double. Yes I’ve had a few beers.

[@ozjensen3574]

Hey Gazzy big fan, would you ever consider jamming the 30ish bigs pre the A8o hand with all the dead money? Thanks for making great content man!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I think no, it might be fine but 30bbs is such a nice stack, I’d rather like JTs that can fold out better/has nice equity vs calls

[@timf7813]

How much u down on the series? Gl keep grinding

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Watch to the end xx

[@tribalwar9971]

Dig your style bruv

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thanks dude

[@blue4life175]

That was a loose call with A8 imo. I would have tried to fold into the bubble. Good run though. You’ll get em next time.

[@nine_fingers_mike]

Good stuff. We call T8 but fold A7 or T6s call but fold T5s lol. Good luck

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Agreed.

[@olinater5]

A8 suited seems like a punt. Other than that GG Gary.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

You think? It seems like a mandatory call for 11bbs to me

[@olinater5]

@@garyblackwoodpoker Maybe at a local $100 buyin tournament. WSOP? Naw gotta adjust and tighten up a smidge.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

@@olinater5 you've got it the wrong way round there bud, you want to be tighter in your local $100 buyin tournaments, but in a WSOP $3k 6-max the regs will be quite good and will shove correctly and thus you should call correctly. Hope that helps!

[@jaket1858]

How can you not record so many poker vlogs and first time this has happened!

I don’t know what that means but thank you!

[@paulyz8534]

Let me guess . U torched $3000.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Nope I got 2nd for $478k

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Just absurd that they had you stop filming. Other vloggers are literally sticking the camera in peoples faces during hands, including the dealers and floor and they all laugh about it. Just seems like politics, because your sub numbers and viewers are right up there. And certainly your quality is above theirs more often than not. It’s nonsense. Keep up the great work.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

It is a little disappointing but like I say I totally respect it, can’t argue with them. Just hope I don’t get caught twice 😂

Correction: you don't HAVE to listen to the American national anthem, you are privileged and lucky to get to listen to it!
