HIGH STAKES £10/£25/£50 ACTION IN LONDON!!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Hope you guys enjoy! Give me feedback on how I played in the comments below

[@ImDrizzt]

seem to play solid tight, some good folds, i ran the AhKh hands, and it was cb 33% or 50%cb size 80% of the time, as played, it was a small + ev call to a 60% sizing, mb i fkt up the sim, but yeah xD

[@finalchance6718]

You could have lost way more. Solid play, luck will turn around. Cya in vegas 🎉

[@jimmyresnick]

Mate I think you are playing well. Just not making hands. It happens. I think a change of scenery would be good for you. Take a break from poker for a few weeks. Take a flight to somewhere warm and get outside for some fresh air and sunshine. Look after yourself mate. Take it easy.

[@tiagos.8424]

@garyblackwoodpoker just move to the States (Portuguese player here). In my 4 years of watching mostly american poker vloggers I've never watched as solid opponnets as you in the last couple of videos you made. All the games played in Texas 10/25/50+ seems more like 2/5 at my local casino, here in Portugal, and my guess I suppose it's the same in the UK (specially in London). Great videos, you've earned a sub. GL

[@damonbarteaux9814]

Absolutely love the charts Gary. I will never remember them, but they’re great

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Wasn't sure how they'd go down! Glad you liked them

[@KanielOutis147]

@@garyblackwoodpokershort clips of the overall strategy like in this vid is the sweet spot imo. Think going too in depth into what combos do what etc and spending too long there would probably not be as well received

[@jeffshackleford3152]

​@@KanielOutis147I agree with this. Keep it relatively light with the chart, so reggy players can analyze the spot and people that aren't so reggy can keep being entertained. I think this way of doing it is quite good, cut the detailed analysis out and make a separate video of it, if you want.

[@potdonk8395]

I really feel this is the best poker content out there. Great job!

[@leoyuan3f]

Loved it! Entertaining and just as educational as the level up podcast.

[@Wiffle_]

Loving the vlogs, think your demeanour's exemplary and the play is solid. Keep it up

[@_aa2z]

Great discipline man, i see to many creators with the “I have XX I can’t fold this” and just punt.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you, I only do that with the camera off

[@scottalford7393]

Another great vlog. Hardest part about live games is turning up to get in the seat

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yes buddy!!! Need to deploy the strat, make good hands, get paid.

[@ImDrizzt]

@@garyblackwoodpoker i used to play live poker for some years. This strategy that worked really well for me was, I'd slap up on up the old trusty Equilab, and then find the range I want that's strong ,the nfill in with all the nice stuff to see flops with multiway, then I get around 12- 13% "Strong hands" And then the 22-77, suited connectors, mb some suited Kings for shits n giggles, and some suited Axs. And then I'd just limp from first 2-3 positions, and then u get some callers, and an isolation, then you 3b, I know way back when ppl used to limp raise, but mostly AA, but works like a charm to limp 3b 170combos or so, then when they get scared when u limp, u get to see multiway for cheap with all the speculative cards. What u think about this strategy Gazzy Bazzy? Sometimes you even get like a caller, then a semi reg, or semi competent person isolates, then cold callers from fish, I 3b pretty biiiig, and reg fold, and its a nice way to get up in a bloated pot with a fish, who then overcalls again

[@paulmccrory6511]

Great episode again. The AK hand from last episode has given me nightmares. Really looking forward to the run good when it comes

[@Way2fast4u82]

Super entertaining fella. Keep up the good work.

[@KanielOutis147]

These past 2 vids have been class. Think you’ve played very well the past 2 sessions too and seems like you’ve got a good mindset, the result will come 👍

I'm still laughing about you saying I'm on verge of going home and bathing with the toaster been there really enjoy your stuff b lucky 😂

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

A nod to my online poker study group where we regularly make the "toaster in the bath" joke

[@sid7607]

Very solid play IMO. Disciplined folds with the AQ and the JTs. Just brutal variance and the high stakes. You'll turn it around.

[@MrEutag]

Great display of discipline. Very hard to keep folding with strong 2nd best hands continously. Kudos

[@Paul-fe9ff]

Chasing flush draws isn't discipline especially in those spots .

[@achenafiasrat11]

Always good day when my guy Gazzy B post a video!!!!

[@matthewsmith4977]

Dealer at the vic here, was on the table when freddie bluffed the massive third pair! Always a pleasure having you on the table gary, great play as always :)

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Love that, see you next week!

[@MrDizew]

Variance is crushing, stay strong buddy!

[@jaganyogendran5238]

great vlog, looks like variance is against you but you are playing solid enough things will turn around keep the videos coming gg.

great vid. keep up the excellent footage

[@jgod9788]

really enjoyed your poker vlogs in UK, it reminds me of the time when I played 1/3 at hippodrome london while studying my master degree in 2022. Played 100/200 in Macau afterwards(equivalent to 10/20 in UK), but the 1/3 time was the best for me! Would be excited to see you film a vlog there in hippodrome london! keep up your good work

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

[@ianshirreffs5604]

I always enjoy your vlogs!!! I hope you run better soon.😊

[@ImDrizzt]

heyy ur way better and cooler than me, but im wondering, the AQ hand, is it wise to check and mb let 3 other ppl hit something silly on the turn? Like they can hit their sets stupid 2 pairs and shit like that? I know online you always check when in the middle or oop, but hmmm, not sure, mb target weaker Ax and spadey's

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yeah I think checking is fine here 4 ways it's not a great board for our range

[@SpendingAddiction]

Thats a tough table! Who doesnt show quads man jesus

[@johnn9977]

These are some great games.

[@milominderbinder8655]

Appreciate your channel content and your upswing podcast my man. Hold em has brutal variance which can feel even worse live to climb back from live cuz the game is so slow. Keep your chin up though youre a top player and the live game is still great, dare I say its in its hayday. Youll be fine as long as you keep the grind. Next time youre in the states mssg me and ill show you the best 2/5 and 5/10 games in the world 😊

[@matthewhardy3682]

I would not have been able to get away from the AQ hand so well done avoiding paying off quads. Feel you on the invisalign as I am at month 4 of 18. Lex O also just started treatment so might be a trend with poker players. Time to go from busto to robusto.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Robusto with 10/10 teeth! Thanks.

[@gcedism]

What solver are you using?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

LucidGTO and PIOSolver

[@sogeshirts]

You played well tonight as usual. Not a lot you can do if you don't hit a hand. You folded when you were behind. I hope your luck turns around next time Gary. Enjoying the videos!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I appreciate that a lot, thank you ❤

[@dw5551]

I know I'm probably wrong in gto terms but I disagree with the line on the 99 hand personally. Low Over cards on a flushing flop I feel like it's silly to not make players gamble there. If an ace, face T or flush shows up you can't really complain.

[@BenjaminRaven]

responding to all comments benabadbeat style. clean vlog lad ❤️

[@aldoz2007]

Love the vid.. but damn.. do you have a 6 figure bank roll or something?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Haha I learned the hard way bankroll management is key! ❤

[@ConradCreel]

Story of my life: Grind 5/10 all month, take shot at 10/20/sometimes 40 and erase all profit. It feels like I run worse at the game (AKs not holding up, set over set, etc.) but it's more likely that the bankroll doesn't withstand the variance. Sucks though when you're having 5 figure swings cuz I still think about it in terms of 5/10 buyins.

[@NeiltheDeal]

God damn soruE

[@stephenmurphy3802]

You are just riding a horrible variation train atm. Hold tight it will flip. Good vids and you seem a sound dude as well. Just hit the sub button

Gary, great video. That is a horrible feeling when a whale is donating money to the table and he is getting lucky against you.

[@JohnSmith-vx9re]

Hi Garry, I really like your VLOG, great content, honest and rather unbiased analysis of yourself helps a lot too. One thing I will suggest is to NOT walk around Oxford street /Marylebone area with your phone whipped out and doing filming. There are thieves armed with knives and riding electric bikes… no need to put yourself out there in dangerous conditions.

[@ImDrizzt]

Looking handsome as ever!! KEep rocking!! Woo

[@jauronpigg7288]

1st to comment... Love your work and keep grinding!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you!

[@eliranargelazi]

I love the vic so much. Looks like you are playing some lossie goosy, no shame playing some abc poker with more calls and less 3bets taking them the recreational players to the streets and no shame going down in the blinds grinding the 1-3 and coming back stronger to the 2-5. bankroll management is so important. 1-3 is like 2-5 and 2-5 can easily plays as 5-10 10-20. wish you best of luck

Run better gaz 😢

Just my opinion Gary devil's advocate and all that forget the charts play naturally on perception, intuition at the end u have 3 8s with the 3 diamonds flopped and people betting run rabbit jumps to mind, like your energy bro and u make me laugh, hope you're lucky in poker🎉
