HIGH STAKES 10/20/40 NL!!! ALL IN vs MAIN EVENT CHAMPION!! MUST SEE!!! Poker Vlog Ep 96

[@girishanr1523]

Oh man my heart was pumping so hard when you bluffed that hand .. so glad that went through and you got out with some profit! Smart!

[@ridesharing1014]

I really like the “little touches” you provide: announcing you want to win a pot to get over your nerves, your hand breakdown process, the poker software tools you use, your excitement over meeting players you admire, poker books you have read. All great stuff....

[@mercilpb]

Wait did you just get hit and run by Dan effing Harrington? That's legendary.

[@brocksnyder5889]

YUP!

Ditto for me

[@ryanpage1111]

Best vlog you have done to date. Appreciate the high-stakes action and you didn't play scared which was awsome

[@gabisdaddy]

Brad, I was sweating this session “almost” as much as you must have been. Almost... what a great honor to play next to Dan!

[@patrickclark7714]

See, this is the kind of stuff I love. Never would I have imagined to play the A4 the way you did. When you 4 bet and he only called, you absolutely took control of that hand. Good stuff. No, great stuff!!

And great bluff !!!!!

Awesome Episode Brad, Crazy bluff with the A4s haha, love it :D

im loving the hand where two flushes are made and one is a straight flush. Nice dealing there kid!

[@Shanehuff1971]

Brother I was stressing while watching. Awesome playing with Dan!

[@mpup54]

I dont understand why this guy keeps increasing stakes despite his game not improving. Take some time off from videos and get better, then make the vlog

[@mpup54]

even I knew he had aces before that hand played out, cmon Brad...

[@MOONRAK3R23]

Hell Yeah Brad, tearing up the felt in the big stakes. And pulling of the stone cold bluff. Nice Job my dude!!

[@TheDJLiquify]

Awesome that Bellagio comped you, what a fantastic showcase of their location. Congrats on playing the high stakes and coming out alive, I've read a couple of Dan's books and can't imagine how surreal that must've been - tbh I didn't know he was older but it makes sense considering he won in the 90s. Very cool stuff, what fantastic content. Keep it up Brad!

[@KriegsPony]

[@brennanpizer5004]

Congrats on having the guts to not shutdown with the A4s hand. You followed your instincts, made the read, and it worked out. Even if it didn't, if you can pull the trigger there and not think about the money, you're ready to be where you are. Only if the roll is appropriate though, of course. Way to go, nice session. Honestly, paying off Dan the way he played that hand and the fact that his advice has made you tons of money, maybe think of it as the real price of his books. Way back when at a MUG during the 2018 series, I was the guy that introduced the double board bomb pot to you and Andrew at the Westgate! You guys reignited my drive to play and put in the work at the game. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these.

[@paullumsden7825]

Well done Brad. Best vlog yet. Great stuff convincing Bellagio to allow filming. Prime looks like one for the bucket list too. Cheers

[@imxploring]

Even though it was only a small win in the end.... it was a great day based on the ups and downs.... getting unstuck.... and meeting your hero Dan!! The smile and excitement on your face was worth more than the $200 you won!!! Get video!

[@tonyroberts7481]

Good for you Brad!!! Glad you put on your big boy pants and at least tried it. Who cares how big it was, a win is a win. Congrats.

[@tylerm4709]

Best video so far, I’ve never been in for anywhere near those stakes so for you to pull the trigger on that A4 bluff most definitely earned my respect. Great session and knowing when to rack up.

[@williamross4670]

Great bluff! That was a fun vlog to watch, well done.

[@macrovigilance]

You really captured the emotions well with the footage and your naration. Us the viewers/subcribers of your channel were out of our 'comfort zones'. Bet that steak dinner tasted good. Bravo Brad!

[@mpup54]

I thought sitting into a table with a guy bleeding the table was a bad idea. 40K hoover!

[@IamFleisch]

Brad, I absolutely love the vlog. I had a hand in an earlier session today, A5 suited, that I played as a three bet bluff out of the big blind vs. the button. I bluffed him out of a $800 pot (1/3 no limit) and immediately thought of this video. Keep up the great work!

[@mattcavanagh590]

My heart was pounding for you during the A4 bluff. GG and great vlog.

Matt Cavanagh funny how many of us made this same comment. I was nervous for him too. What a fun vlog!

dont play these stakes or play against Harrington again...this is getting too dicey

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

Brad - watching so many of your vlogs I know sitting next to Dan was something you won't forget. So cool. Makes me feel kinda stupid that I've not paid as much attention to his books considering how highly you regard them.

Most people would be in the position of TV hypemaster from the 1980's, talking about how crazy their game is going to be. We need that contrast, and people who are just doing a real thing and living it. Definitely adds to the realism, which is your image. Thanks for that.

Great job Brad! Proud of you brother! What is $81 in time for the table mean? 1:53

[@teamhex]

Yeah that's pretty confusing. They just select someone randomly to pay that? It sounds like they should split it between the people at the table.

[@AR-jt2ux]

Saves time. And everyone is just as likely to pay. If you dont want to be a part of the time flop you can just pay your own time every time.

[@castlehill6717]

Brad, I love your Vlogs, I really do. However as someone who laughs at those who say online poker is “rigged”, I have to say that PKC is extremely suspect. Lets just set aside the fact that they offer “Insurance” which is banked by them for any stack-off runout. The amount of insanity is beyond RNG. No more can I say that this is just variance. If you don’t take insurance you are getting screwed, every time. Personally I refuse to take insurance but the mere fact that they offer is gives incentive for manipulated runouts. I know I sound insane. I know I sound like just another losing player, however I have been playing poker, live and online for 7 years and would never in a million years say sites like ACR or Ignition/Bovada are rigged. This site on the other hand is something else. The math doesn’t play out. I would assume you have played on the site yourself however could not trust the play from your end due to your sponsorship and everything that entails. That isn’t an insult by any means, just a lack of a control. Maybe, I would suggest creating an account not in anyway affiliated with any of your information and sampling it then. Yes, I understand this will take your time and in order to even get the slightest of a verdict you would need to play at least 10,000 hands, but I think you will get a picture before then. I cant even believe I am saying I think a site is rigged. Thats not me. I have seen brutal downswings more than I want to remember in Live and Online, yet the fact remains that most sites in existence are not rigged. At least the cards dealt and the runouts aren’t. I cannot comfortably recommend this site to anyone. To those thinking of registering, I warn you. Its not normal. This is coming from a man who swears by online poker and will laugh at those who thing online poker is rigged. Be aware, try PKC at your own risk.

[@BradOwenPoker]

I play on PKC all the time and I don't think that because they offer insurance that the game is rigged. I've promoted them for two and a half weeks so if you've been playing on there since I started my deal with them then you haven't put in nearly a large enough sample to make an accusation like that.

[@castlehill6717]

Brad Owen Thank you for responding, you are my favorite Vlogger for many reasons. Coming on 10,000 hands over 2 tables of 1/2/4 and .5/1/2 over the past two weeks. Of course 10,000 hands isn’t necessarily a large sample size as say 100,000 hands, however is not exactly negligible. I can never say for sure, I have no proof of anything other than my own anecdotes over grinding this site over the past weeks. I still believe in giving the benefit of the doubt, and am continuing to play this site for posterity along side of ACR MTT’s and Ignition Cash. The field in PKC is insanely soft for sure, however to say that after these past two weeks that I am not suspicious is an understatement. About the insurance, I am not basing my “hypothesis” (so to speak) solely around it, however does pique curiosity to say the least when it comes to the accusation of the site being rigged. I cannot lie that tying the insurance factor into the accusation does sound similar to those who say “Sites rig the RNG to promote large pots in order to increase rake revenue”, which to me is proven false as far as I have seen. To me so far the entire venture on their end just seems shady. I absolutely cannot say for sure and most competent players know just about every site (that I know of at least) that people accuse of being rigged are in-fact not; the equities end up balancing out in the end over a large enough sample size. Edit: By the way, I am in no way accusing you of any misconduct. To reiterate, I am still playing cash on PKC and will continue to for the time being. I really do hope I am wrong, I am not one to go on a “crusade” just to “win” because I cannot admit I am wrong. I very well may be wrong here. I really hope so because my money is on the line here. It would be nice if there was a way to implement a card catcher/tracker. I absolutely would guinea pig for the better of the players and the site itself. Sorry for writing an essay.

[@mannyvillagomez5668]

Wow!! Brad, know that you weren’t alone on that table. We too got super nervous with you. I bet that was a dream come thru. I remember doing that my self,it was a jump from 2-5 to 5-10. (Such a different game to me at that time) now I feel right I’m right at home playing 5-10. It did take a lot for me to loose my nerves but thankfully I managed. I hope your luck allows you to do the jump as well

Great video! Had my heart pumping at times haha. I’m pretty new to poker and been playing online poker for a few weeks. Been really diving in to the cash games on TV also and loving it. What’s an easy to understand, beginner book that’s a must read to get an edge for improving my game? So far I’ve been focusing on seeking solid or likely preflop hands, paying attention to aggressiveness, positioning, and being selective. Although the poker app is not for real money, I’d like to think it’s a great way to improve so I can one day take the leap and pop my poker table cherry with a live cash game. Good stuff! Nice win. Take care.

One of the things I love about poker, is the glasses we use to view our results. Had you played lower stakes and won $260 you would most likely be disappointed. I was in a game once for 4 buyins and played several hours to look down and see I was up $60 on the day. I did the same thing and racked up with a huge smile on my face!

BIG STAKES! Nice, Brad. Was fun to watch!

[@RaisingTheNuts]

Awesome job Brad. Did you feel different filming the higher stakes game like that? I never want to film when I play high stakes because it always feels like more of a “private” type game where the players are annoyed by it whereas at smaller stakes people seem to not care.

Hey Brad, I haven't been commenting cuz my channel is Rideshare related. I just wanted to say that I've been watching poker obsessively. Like 2-3 hrs/day obsessively. I've always wanted to learn the game of poker + the bluffs, the reading, the counting, etc. I just wanted to say thank you. I love your format with the mindset the best. I really appreciate the mindset. I'm essentially retiring my channel. I know what editing takes. That was never my intent. My channel happened by accident. Editing is the part I hate the most.
