Great podcast, Jarret is always my favourite person to play with even though he always takes my money

[@Polarizingg]

You have to have balls to be playing those stakes so good for you man 💪

[@warrenbluffit2048]

jarretman is probably the only content creator that ive watched every single video of, great to hear from him off the table

[@petrosfalieris786]

[@mathieup.5665]

[@taav2518]

Nice talk guys, tks to all of you!

[@Sejdr]

Such a great episode!

[@pudelinocacalat2951]

You are a holy man for the cash community! I am surprised to see how much I relate to your background that got you into poker and Dwan is also my favourite player. Staring into pure insanity!

[@bruwar]

Great job selecting the guests! Benabadbeat and Jarretman are two of my favorite poker personalities. On an ideal world the next guest would be someone like makeboifin or luke Johnson

[@Josemartinez-es6vj]

[@ant-pk8bx]

[@sahajjain3886]

Great podcast

[@sharkyjawz1342]

Thanks for the podcast lads. Jarretman speaks V.eloquently and is a wealth of knowledge, absolute animal in the GTO streets (legit knows every spot idc) & a super nice breda. KUTGW 😉

[@zinhao7077]

Great guy 💙💙💙

[@matijakajtez6201]

Nice crew damn, great episode

[@SlaskBuB1337]

Wow! Funny how so many players have starcraft background (me too). Two GREAT QUOTES, ”happy in periods when developing” so true, had not fully understood the correlation, but when i look back on different periods it is striking. Also dont think too rigid live, very good point, they are not attacking your capped range because they dont even understand the concept 😅 Excellent content! Great guest, great questions, ty!

[@thecrow5450]

This man has called me a nerd too many times on his own channel lol! Cheers Jarretman

[@imthebearimthebear3316]

This is like fourth or fifth former serious warcraft players who are into poker at high levels. I also found poker that way and played wc with Polk a bit. There is something about that game that trains some subtle poker intuition I think.

[@ianchoi7743]

As Korean I was surprised that he used to play Starcraft. Great interview!

[@Michaelperry1985]

Great podcast as always. TheWakko The Jarretman, what could be better. (Love you too Adam)

[@orangeteax1789]

Damn Jarretman is really in the cross-promotional streets. Good to get two vids in a row

[@synchronium24]

I assume the other video you're referring to is his collaboration with Nick Eastwood?

[@casinoflamingo1717]

Dont know why Adams camera cut makes me laugh so hard at 1:50:28 great vid btw

[@joshw9865]

jarretman is king

[@sk-uy4xo]

Jarretman I love you bro

[@silas_inacio16]

Jarretman said he removed all the videos showing the HUD but I've downloaded them all to watch before he deleted them hahahaha

[@zurg393]

great podcast

[@giannislazaridis8420]

47:30 this is a floating 9of hearts on the turn right ? :p

[@infosrelevantes7146]

Please, can anyone help me? Which classes of hands should we bluff instead of the ones with more equity?

[@jb-rx2ig]

is he living in a cell? great podcast!

[@yufengxu3950]

jarretman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Stream_King]

I didn't know Jarretman was the Venture brothers' dad. And is he streaming from prison?

[@Fenix40]

For some reason this is not how I expected jarrettman to look at all lmao

[@kallehavumaki3173]

same :D

[@storkenjamar3990]

What?! Thats not what he looks like! Just kidding, really looking forward to a long form conversation with the best poker teacher on youtube

[@HibiscusFlowerFC]

Lol Adam I see you 👀

[@Stefanburakov]

Def top 50 cash players in the world.

[@Stefanburakov]

Ah and intervjuer by No 163!

[@TheLazarussLedd]

You go play live soft games and then Jarretman sits to your left and you cry.

[@user-ht8he4mh7n]

HAHA

[@Stefanburakov]

Just adjust he great player but nothing To be afraid off 6-9 handed IF fish on table.

[@shahedulislam94]

I always assumed Jarret was Asian... such a beast!

[@Stefanburakov]

There are No Asian players in top 1000 and jarretman is top 50 easy

[@Tempest_Mind]

How old is Jarretman? Having a hard time following the timeline.

[@ryceryder85]

He’s probably late 20s now.

[@gabrielvictor9065]

[@therealhossroot]

I thought jarretman would've been a total Chad, maybe it was his voice :) Great podcast though I watched it all.

[@gabrielvictor9065]

he is not a chad, he is the chaddest

[@ryceryder85]

Ouch

[@synchronium24]

I too expected him to look different based on his voice. I'm not disappointed, though.

[@HibiscusFlowerFC]

Is Adam a robot or a hologram?

[@alicolquitt]

Sorry but the geordie lad doesn’t bring anything to the podcast, far too boring and asking soundbite motivational questions

[@TMCorreia]

Like in dark!

[@bruwar]

Great job selecting the guests! Benabadbeat and Jarretman are two of my favorite poker personalities. On an ideal world the next guest would be someone like makeboifin or luke Johnson
