Going UP In Stakes @ MGM National Harbor | 2/5 Poker Vlog

[@JohnNewman-ci4qu]

Limp/calling 53 after the “live poker… is alive and well” couldn’t have been more perfectly timed.

[@MacksBet28]

Gotta love gambling!

[@tomh69]

Enjoying the videos, ive watched most of them, and I think youre improving both as a player and as a youtuber. Only suggestion is I would like a description of your reads of villains in the hands, even something simple as “loose and aggressive player in small blind 3 bets” or “tight older man limps and calls” would help paint a picture. Also ive noticed you mostly post videos and hands when you come out ahead. Dont be embarrassed to post the losing hands and sessions, its all a learning experience, and heck, look at someone like rampage, his big losses drive more clicks than wins. Im an mgm player myself, maybe ill see you out there on the felt one day. The 2/5 has a very inconsistent player pool difficulty, id recommend playing 2/5 based on who is at the table, its as soft or softer than 1/3 sometimes, and very tough other times, the guys with backpacks are mostly tough of course.

[@MacksBet28]

Well I appreciate you taking the time for the feedback! But I can't agree with saying I only post hands I win cause there are plenty on almost every video. There are more times where I may call bet pre miss the flop and fold. I may do a complete session review where I show every hand I vpip. As for 2/5 my win rate is highest there just harder to get a 💺 but I'm confident vs any lineup at mgm I've degened so many hours even before the vlog it's unreal. But definitely look forward to seeing you!

[@ChineseBandit24]

That first hand is such a perfect encapsulation of 1/3 NL, fish dragging his pocket rockets out hoping he doesn't get flushed straighted or two paired.

[@MacksBet28]

That's lowstakes poker for you

[@logansmith4690]

4:30 I wanted her to lose so damn bad. Grabbing her purse and standing up I can’t stand that shit. Take your loss and then leave or win and stay a while. Pre packing up is so weird to me

[@MacksBet28]

People think it's good luck lol

[@CLGilbert]

"Results may vary" perfect theme for the vlog 👍🏽

[@MacksBet28]

Mann don't wanna get sued lol

[@MacksBet28]

Mack told meee

[@Range4Harry]

You are a honest player, like this vlog,first timer. Don't need a big ego these days. Just realism ,shizum

[@MacksBet28]

Yes sir that's my mission in the vlog to be relatable not perfect. We all been through sessions we know we played poorly. Only way to learn is to be honest with yourself

[@markhellie6837]

You were super lucky with that KThh hand. You were dealt KK. Your opponent had QQ. You probably play a three or four bet pot where you flop an over pair and your opponent flops top set. Instead you flop an open ended straight flush draw against top set. Get there on the turn and hold up on the river. Fortune smiled on you for that hand. Great vlog!

[@MacksBet28]

@markhellie6837 hey life is great when it happens that way because we all been in the other side of the coin. Just happy to be the windshield and not the bug. Thank you so much. Appreciate the support

[@MrAgmoore]

14:44 I'm always worried about KJ because it's played quite passively.

[@MacksBet28]

I was too but definitely was seeing monsters under the bed 🛌

[@epicawesonessss]

Man moved up to the tables on the platform

[@MacksBet28]

Yup lol up to the big leagues 😄

[@thatguy2408]

Nice comeback on the 2/5. Yeah, that was a brain fart on the last hand. But you are smart. I’ve seen you learn from prior mistakes on this vlog. Keep it going bro!

[@MacksBet28]

Yesir and tbh when you start playing bad... not running bad that's a good sign to leave lol. Thank you tho for the love

[@markgalbraith3145]

No recording at LIVE! so I guess I am headed back to MGM

[@MacksBet28]

Welcome ! Lol water is warm here

[@TheNow_Now]

That KTs hand is interesting. I think you should just raise the flop though. You have so much equity against basically every hand, and if you get better hand to fold the flop like AQ/AJ/KQ/KJ etc that is a huge win.

[@MacksBet28]

I figured the 1k high hand bonus would give me decent reason to try to hit?

[@TheNow_Now]

The 44 hand is definitely scared money. You lose to 6 combo KJ, 3 combo JJ, and 3 combo 88. I would think that JJ/88 c bet this flop at a high frequency though for a small sizing in position, since they need protection from overcards. You didn't include effective stack sizes, but you can definitely x/r the river to like 400ish, and then fold if they 3b jam on you for like 1k effective. since that is never going to be a bad Kx or bluff at these stakes. Also, villain could be value betting thinly there with like AJ/QJ/QQ/slow played AA, so they don't even necessarily have to have a Kx after they bet the river. Nice hand though - and I like your analysis as well, we are always learning!

[@MacksBet28]

Ty bro as i went down that rabbit hole i understood. But really i was just locking up a solid win. So scared money is exactly right. Your analysis is spot on. Gotta have some check raise fold to 3b there. I can get called by worse. And only getting raised by better

[@baustin2402]

Great work, fam! You've got game but, I'd like to see the "paperwork" 🧐 on that king jack(hearts) suited hand when you said that you should fold this hand... 😁 *that's a "premium" in some of my "Bicycle Club" sessions 😢

[@MacksBet28]

I said fold kjo not suited lol

[@MacksBet28]

Kj off can get dicey in 3 bet pots

[@baustin2402]

@@MacksBet28 ok! 😎

[@VinsValue]

Like the full pot sizing with nut flush on a 4 spade board. Polarize your hand after barreling flop and turn.

[@MacksBet28]

Yeah well being results oriented I like it better too seeing he snapped me off lol

[@VinsValue]

@@MacksBet28 I think you only get called by a decently high spade on that 3rd street anyway, their hand never wants to fold there. Put the pressure onnnnn🔥

[@jake_villanueva]

Win and earn! I feel like re watching that pocket 4’s / flopped boat hand probably helps you realize to get max value next time!

[@MacksBet28]

Ehhh idk

[@jake_villanueva]

@@MacksBet28 Maybe worth a rewatch on my end!

[@sandro_j]

awesome video, if you're down move up in stakes, cause scared money don't make money.

@@MacksBet28 was it a mistake? did you think your opponent had a higher boat? what was the thinking

@@t8kuoutt I didn't think a marginal hand would go for thin value on the river i.e aj so figured his river bet was either monster or dust

[@yanbaihuzxzxzx]

Been living in the casinos for almost 10 years, basically there's no such thing as a professional gambler. Chasing loses is something you have to put out your mind.

[@MacksBet28]

Lol it was just a catchy phrase. I'm very serious about poker for sure
