Don't let anyone call you a nit or anything like that - I think you're showing not only a realistic and sensible approach for low-stakes grinding...but also highlighting the importance of picking spots, utilizing position, and not understating the recognition of player/opponent types. The "big name" vloggers are cool, but my favorite videos lately have come from your channel and other low & mid-stakes creators like Ben Deach from Reno, PokerfaceAsh, and Doug McCusker from Sacramento.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks man!! Yeah I definitely won’t change my game from what people think in the comments.

[@Jonger87]

My last 4 sessions have been almost exactly like this! Thanks for being real and showing the video even when it’s a bad day. Helps to realize it does happen to other players

[@Pokerbabbo]

Happy to hear it helps! 💪

[@scottcoombe9979]

I like these videos. It shows the reality of a session instead of the couple hands in a session that you make a big hand. Other videos make it look like you just hit monsters and win huge pots. Nice job man. I love watching your videos. Teaches the reality of having patience and finding your spots.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks man!!! Happy to hear that you like this format 💪💪💪

[@michaelhuning7588]

Would love to see an in depth review of your experience with the Hungry Horse Poker bootcamp. You are one of my favorite vloggers who keeps it real and relatable.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Hey man! Thanks for watching, really appreciate the kind words 💪 I’ll definitely try to talk more about the bootcamp in this upcoming vlogs

[@jakeminer8503]

i like your bluff with 77. most players wouldnt be able to find that raise

[@pot_kivach160]

that bluff was a miscalculation. 22% ($50) river bet is never a bluff. Particularly not by someone who 3-bet first time for the entire session...so, he had it. Raising here is a lose/lose action...no worse hand would call, no better would've folded. *Hand reading* is what was missing here by 100%: The hand that is scared of paired board on turn and flush flop - would not bet river. Rather small bet (22%) was because opponent wanted to extract some value out of weak pair (77, 88, 99) on dangerous board. Plus, one must beware of trapping. (turn check!) . EDIT: initially, I'd called $50 river bet, but not after I did the analysis. lol

[@jakeminer8503]

@@pot_kivach160 it also screams weakness and he has good card removal

[@California_Poker]

I don’t like the 77 hand, it doesn’t make much sense, what are you repping after turn check, river raise. Really nothing but a FH or air. I am likely going to call him down light with any pair or better.

[@Pokerbabbo]

💪💪💪

[@yavinebrewer1393]

I like the 77 bluff but not at that nitty table. If they bet they have it. Probably would work at 75% rate at other tables

[@L.Lawliet23]

Awesome to see you able to travel around and play. Shoutout to your wife for being a badass! Always a pleasure to see your vlogs.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Yeah was definitely fun to go to Vegas and having an amazing wife that helps me make it happen. Thanks for watching 💪

[@burkhartlaw1]

I like that you show an entire session. Always enjoy hearing your thoughts.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching! 💪

[@johannessmithenstein]

This is very similar to my session yesterday. It just felt like I had to fold out my equity over and over again and was getting blown off every hand by the river. All bluffs were getting raised, etc. I think you did well disciplining yourself not to react with mindless aggression. I think you just found yourself in a bunch of terrible spots and you saved yourself money. The bluffs were fine, just bad luck running into certain hands. In my case I am planning to c-bet a bit more often in these kinds of tables. I think your strategy of checking out of position may have cost you a couple hands towards the end because you look so weak and the in-position players can just apply pressure. Anyway, Keep it up man, another great video.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching man!!! Yeah definitely wasn’t a fun session. I like the checking range OOP because players tend to make a lot of mistakes when this happens, big part by over stabbing. As well check calling can look stronger than bet checking since that can just look like you bet range and are giving up on the turn

[@magicrcook]

Love seeing every hand!

[@markmorgan8907]

watched this twice already , CARD dead , lost couple of big pots , forced a couple of hands..Keep going ,STAY FOCUSED . long game ..STUDY . Well done on bailing early ,not everyone has this skill. A GREAT WATCH . thx for taking time even though not a good day .

[@Pokerbabbo]

Hey man thanks for watching! 💯 that’s the mindset. Got to just focus on what’s in our control 💪💪

[@dhallpro]

Table selection is key. There are so many tables in Vegas. Look for one with drinks flowing, sounds like a party, and try to get on that one.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Definitely a good idea. I wanted to film so I had to go to resort world

[@BradleyLynn-c1q]

In my eyes, I would've not bluffed with those 77's. The Flush, Straight and Trip K's all get there. Almost all of those would call, your raise and you lose. Either fold or make the call. With the call, you will likely lose almost all the time, but you get to pick up what pos 1 had, plus understand his bet pattern. I liked how you walked away. You knew you weren't there mentally. That's a smart move. Like your videos, keep up the good work!

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching! Yeah not sure about that bluff. What I wouldn’t recommend is making a call just to get information, just not worth that amount of money.

[@pot_kivach160]

Brutal session, man. Thanks for showing every single hand.

[@calmistheway]

Yeah man. Not many poker vloggers show every hand. Looks like I'm not the only one getting garbage all day :)

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Pokerbabbo]

You’re not alone 😂

[@Steven-i5f]

Nice blog mate, it would be nice to know the starting stack before a hand in question

[@Pokerbabbo]

Hey man! Yeah I’ve got that request before. It’s hard to add more data on the screen. I try to share that info while I talk. Definitely a good idea

[@MRVIDEOMASTER-yw1qw]

Awesome video! God bless!

[@Pokerbabbo]

💪💪💪

[@unwetwaterdrop]

Happy to live in Texas. This play is insanely nitty, and if you have to play this nitty to be a winning player in LV and CA, I’d just get a job.

[@Pokerbabbo]

I’d still prefer to play vs nits than to get a job 🤷

[@notNaB2024]

Nice! It seems that you are still a rather passive player. Get aggressive dude. Do you ever travel with your family anywhere?

[@Pokerbabbo]

I don’t know man. I don’t see many spots in this session that I would have liked to be more aggressive. We mostly stay in San Diego for now

You just haven't figured it out yet

[@HaiAnthony]

Yoooo cant wait to see you on poker night in america. Your time is soon. Reppin daygo

[@Pokerbabbo]

Hey man!! Me too, thanks for the support 💪🙏🙏

[@qfwoasdlkkfjaslidf3575]

I like this every hand vlog. Good luck!

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching 💪

[@WINALLNITE]

If you played more hands everyone wouldn’t fold so much Yeesh

[@Pokerbabbo]

What?!! No way that’s crazy

[@yavinebrewer1393]

What hands be showed would you suggest he played? I only say the AJ from the small blind but other than that, hell no

[@ashleymartin6521]

@@yavinebrewer1393 to name a few that I can remember AJ suited in small blind, A7 hearts in the cut off where he folded to a raise in position, K 9 clubs , and a few pockets pairs he folded pre. I think there are more but that’s what I can remember. That being said I like his play it’s definitely a grind but profitable in the long run! The only issue is if everyone at the table played this way it would be a pointless game

[@ne1so71k7]

Entertaining vlog, even when you lose. Keep it up.

[@Pokerbabbo]

💪💪 thanks for watching

[@ViciousOneWon]

I'm at 9:18 pm in the video, and I have only one criticism. You should change tables if everyone is folding to your preflop raises. You need to find a looser table.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Yeah was a pretty bad game but only 2-5 going on. Would of have to move to 1-3

[@patricks2577]

Keep building your Brand - that is Immensely valuable. The 'bootcamps' should end up Paying You for reviewing their 'product'

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching!! I will💪

[@ananda_miaoyin]

I love that you show all the deals. Hold em is 10% action / 90% bullshit. That said, I would never just toss an ace. There is only four of them!

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks for watching! Don’t fall in love with any A that’s how you end up with top pair worse kicker

[@ananda_miaoyin]

@@Pokerbabbo Usually the best case is to see a flop and steal the blinds...

[@JoshStrickland-zh7ex]

My guy throwing away a lot of very playable hands...

[@ryanford736]

Smart to walk when you just keeping running into it. Just remember, even with perfect play you can lose. With poker, same as life, it's better to be lucky than good.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Maybe on the short term. Long run the good player will beat the lucky ones

[@ryanford736]

@Pokerbabbo for sure. And the better you are, the luckier you get. 😎 just saying you played well, but ran into it almost every time. Time to cash in some poker karma and make a run good video my friend.

Great content and very down to earth

[@Mr.Curiosity89]

When you see people comments about how you are tight or you are fish and they play online freerolls and 1-10$ tournements...He is not a multi-millioner who can play anything anytime. Keep grinding bro, you have a nice fanbase and full support. I think your only big mistake here was AK hand in the end. You had 2 players before you so your bet should be higher to eliminate one of them and you should not allow flop goes check through and give them a chance for flash. Otherwise, you played ok and didn't have luck with boards.

[@ismaelgonzalez9515]

You shouldn’t be playing gto vs non professional players who don’t kno a lick about it. You should be playing more hands, but n position n being the aggressor.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Thanks man I really appreciate the support! I have a check OOP strategy and turn was definitely interesting spot, I can see the possibility of betting bigger

[@Pokerbabbo]

Not trying to play GTO

[@Kuchi-e_woodblocks]

So, when you said a “boot camp”, did you mean a poker boot camp? Or like a working out boot camp? You’re playing a bit looser during this session, which I like actually! I have been thinking that you play way too tight sometimes, missing some opportunities! Anyway, just curious if that’s the case, or if I am just imagining it?

[@Pokerbabbo]

Hey man!! Yeah it was a 28 day poker bootcamp that I did online through zoom. Will be talking more about it in the upcoming videos

[@c.d.h.4070]

Sorry the run-bad. 2-5 in Vegas against regs a tough go. I think a trip to Texas would be good for you. From what I see online those guys are crazy loose

[@OBIE711]

i live in Texas 1-2 plays like 2-5. The joke is the bets 1 -2, limp, limp, $30. Then 3 callers. Plus guys a 1k deep.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Making it out to Texas definitely sounds like fun

[@matt5656]

Usually if I raise 2 or 3x pre flop and get no action I will change tables.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Was the only 2-5 going on

[@ashleymartin6521]

Part of the reason they are not providing action is because his nitty imagine rightly or wrongly😂

[@chessyman6973]

What I usually say when a player leaves the table I will repeat here. Good luck next time you play.

[@Pokerbabbo]

💪💪💪

[@chrismayberry8798]

Not sure with 10/9 suited… if you have a flush draw with your gutter for $90… maybe.. it’s too risky for that size…

[@Pokerbabbo]

Double gutter on the flop I think is a profitable call in this spot

[@matt5656]

He had a double gutter with back door clubs.

[@pot_kivach160]

19:30 I would snap called him. The guy is full of *it! He missed straight draw, now representing the flush...on bad way. . EDIT: this guy in black&white sweater got your number! The same one who bluffed on 4 hearts board 21:48 He is kind of players who are specialists for bluffing on flushy board (whenever they sense opponent does not have flush, they blast pot!!). Every poker table has one!

[@Pokerbabbo]

Who knows it could be. I don’t think there’s enough information though with just a few hands to have such deductions. I’ll stick to the way I believe population plays until they show me something different

[@gregoryschmidt3332]

Vegas is about the worst place in the country to grind out low/med stakes as the tables are mostly compromised of full-time local tough tight grinders

[@Pokerbabbo]

I wouldn’t be able to say this was the first time I play 2-5 in Vegas

[@yavinebrewer1393]

Should have requested a table change. That table is nitty

[@Pokerbabbo]

Yeah sadly it was the only 2-5 going on

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

I think you played too timidly early on and they started running:g over you.

[@Pokerbabbo]

If something I think they thought I was too wide and started 3betting me more or they just had strong hands when I was raising 🤷

[@lolo-wn6rd]

How is the action in these lower stakes in vegas compared to san diego? I heard theyre all nits there lololol

[@Pokerbabbo]

I couldn’t give a good review of the actions in Vegas since all my experience was this very short session

[@pistol9700]

Like running time and win/loss

[@Pokerbabbo]

💪💪💪

[@derekdaddyo2557]

Ppl saying 77 was a bad bluff aren't players. If he didn't have kk or Ak he is folding. It was a great play just bad timing

[@Pokerbabbo]

💪💪💪

[@Rll34]

Bro what is up with your fingernails I got to know

[@Pokerbabbo]

Just like how it looks. It’s the punisher

[@surfingaroundtown103]

Mid way through this vlog. Why don't you switch tables this ones seems SUPER tight and bad for a pro to be playing at and making money. Seems like there would be much higher EV tables around especially in VeGaS......

[@Pokerbabbo]

Yeah was a bad game but was the only 2-5 going on. If I changed table I’d have to go down to 1-3

[@sammajdi2931]

I watch your vlogs to learn… not to coach… but if I may, because you play certain ranges pre flop, that makes you readable. That’s why they fold as you raise pre flops. When they call or raise you, that means they have strong hands, and they get you post flops (like quad kings) in addition they easily bluff you post flops knowing you fold if they don’t connect with the board…. Again… I don’t like to coach… just my opinion… you may want to consult with a professional coach?! Good luck 👍 ❤

[@Pokerbabbo]

Honestly just seems like a results oriented comments. If I get a lot of callers it’s because I’m raising too small, if I don’t get enough it’s because I’m being too tight or raising too big.

[@chevy11786]

Bad game selection on this one. Seems like a lot of these guys are studied and play opening ranges well. I would make my opens $15 instead of $20 in games like this. Don’t mind the 4-5x opens in splashier games.

[@Pokerbabbo]

I agree 💯 I like to raise 4x in games that people are very call happy and not aggressive. I’d definitely prefer to bring it down to 3x in a game like this one

[@nicholi2789]

Absolutely. Gotta table change when you get a shitty one like that. Even a resorts world 1-3 is better than that game. I open to $20 in early positions or $25 and lower to $15 once I get later.

[@ismaelgonzalez9515]

Bro you are wayyyyyyy to fukn tight in this game. I get you are tryna be very gto n that’s good but only if your opponents are all playing gto, if not this is probably affecting your game more than helping. You need to be playing 2-4 suited 53 suited kj off AJ off to an open of 15 in position or if you don’t wanna call 3! You gotta be able to 3! Wide in these games to win brotha. I’m no 2-5 goat but I def noticed my winnings increased by bluffing and 3! A wider range. Do with that as you will jus noticed you over folding hands I’m def calling at worse but mostly 3 betting.

[@Pokerbabbo]

I mean you’re saying to play 24s. Do you if that works for you man

[@nicholi2789]

Dude! You are still playing too tight! Perfectly playable suited connector on the button and you fold to one raise? Cmon man. Everybody is folding to you because you aren’t hardly playing any hands. Vegas games are tight, you gotta get in there more often and battle.

[@Pokerbabbo]

I’m not a fan of having a big calling range. I prefer to be the preflop aggressor by raising or 3betting. I do have a calling range from the button just not very wide

[@nicholi2789]

@@PokerbabboI understand that. Doesn’t mean you can’t call at all though, especially when you have position. You’re giving up so many favorable spots.

Vegas has some of the softest 1/2 - 1/3 games in the world. Seems like you were at a very tight table. Ya gotta remember that you are a poker player first. If a game is super juicy and doesn’t let you vlog you’re much better off playing in that game and not vlogging. Just seems like you played at a really bad table and raised/called too loosely pre.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Hi

[@Pokerbabbo]

👋👋

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

The small blind and big blind were making you their biyotch. With that K9 clubs I would at least call if not re-raise small or big blind if they were in too many hands. You were pretty card dead but you played 10 9 suited and pocket 77s like a reetard and should have broke near even for the session.

[@Pokerbabbo]

Dude save your wisdom and make a coaching site man can’t be giving away such valuable knowledge for free. Who knows how many hours of watching videos you’ve had to do to build such amazing knowledge

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

@@Pokerbabbo I've played several million hands in various poker video games. What the small and big blind were doing to you in this game they near constantly do to you in WSOP Battle For The Bracelets on Xbox 360 anytime you open up your game what so ever. Dude it is very hard for someone to have a very strong hand in the first two or last two positions(sb/bb) mathematically so you have to take advantage of this. 9 times out of 10 they don't have a big hand and every once in a while they do you can still get lucky. This is a really good strategy to use especially when you have a 3x or more larger stack than the opponent. Also Stacked on PS2 is good for cash game training it simulates a very dry nitty no action cash game but always a few hours in players will get desperate and dumb and start doing dumb shit like shoving on you pre with pocket 55s.
