I Get Pocket Jacks THREE TIMES vs The Same Guy!!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Something a wee bit different this week to begin! As ever if you enjoy the poker content a like/comment/sub would be just lovely

[@davidheath3216]

Enjoyed a wee bit of fitba in the beginning. Respect for vlogging through your downswing. Hope the run good is not too far away.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thanks! I try and be as transparent as possible, cannot stand these c***s who only post winning stuff all the time.

[@lmhvfd]

Production quality of the vlogs has seen a massive upgrade! Loving the graphics. Keep them coming!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you, my editor will be most proud

[@lmhvfd]

@@garyblackwoodpoker Another thought I had, is it possible to keep all the action from preflop onwards on the screen? Maybe tucked on the left hand side of screen? Sometimes I miss something and it’s nice to read the info like a hand history to prevent me from rewinding a few seconds.

[@3BetMike]

Great thin value spots! Look forward to you turning this year around.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thin value is the key to live poker, they just do not fold!

[@IIIIITommy]

NittyB123. 😂 great video. I like the fact that you show the exact actions taken during the hand in the hud. Keep it up. Get some rungood

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you! Lots of work for the editor but worth it :)

[@quickbake]

lmao, those post poker/pint lime rides are brutal

[@hugocarlsson3628]

Hi Gaz! I'm going to London in a week and will be playing some poker. Any chance I will see you at the Victoria or the Hippodrome then? Love the content by the way, cheers!

[@BenjaminRaven]

think you played extreeeememely well this session. gg’s ul

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

[@MK-tc6kg]

Just having a go scooping up all the boys up from the jay bar.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I'm a superstar at the jay bar

[@alexpedersen887]

Up the hammers!!! ⚒️

[@crimsonchildmusic]

Love how you played this session, that AJ thin value bet on the river was fantastic. Would love to see more footie on the vlogs too

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Thank you! Was fun to do something a little different, maybe more in the future

[@RoskowMedia]

sick video as always. I played live today at the hippo (3rd time playing live) 2nd from last hand before sitting out I spew off £260 with 66 on Kh flop lol to end the night down £41 + tube fair. Gotta say takes so much patience to play and they seem to hate folding.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yes, tight is right, patience is key, all the clichés. Hope you had fun!

[@swifteyy2025]

Aspers is close didn’t think of playing there?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Need to get permission to VLOG, but definitely a good shout to ask them if I wanna do it again.

[@steved5700]

Would have been hilarious if you made it the river with the JJ 🧲 across from you 😂😂

[@TheNow_Now]

Hey Gary, how does live poker in the EU compare to poker in the US? Harder? easier?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I think the difficulty level is very similar tbh, same reg/rec ratio. The difference is the atmosphere, whilst it's not a bad atmosphere in the UK, the US just feels a lot more fun and laid back. Also far less strict when it comes to player affordability checks etc. I do slightly prefer it over there but I still love to play here!

[@Stockholm_Syndrome]

I will be in London in may or june! Let's play poker! Greetings from Sweden. 😁

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I'll be in LA/Vegas :(

[@Stockholm_Syndrome]

@@garyblackwoodpoker Good! Leave the British fish and chips to me! 😁

[@jlag33]

NGL, I fast forwarded past the soccer clip.

[@andrewbonnard7855]

If I fold JJ on a 552 flop, I'm guna be that guy

[@greggyves6249]

How do you play JJ 4 times with no overs

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

And only win twice!!!!! God I'm so bad haha

[@johannessmithenstein]

I feel like if you're gonna call a re-raise with an overbet pre-flop, you have to continue for at least one street on safe flops. Any opponent is gonna c-bet in a 4-bet pot, so if you're not folding pre-flop, how can you fold on a 9-high flop?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I agree, it's a bit of a wild fold. There's a difference though between facing a £150-£200 cbet and a half pot cbet in my opinion. It's a very VERY tight fold, but maybe tight is right? Maybe it's awful. It's probably somewhere in between.

[@Dylan-vm4gl]

You don’t have to be that guy but I feel you can say “hey can I see? Haha.” But overall you’re right “it does not matter” bravo

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo tempted to demand to see, but I was a good boy!

[@Bean-js9bc]

Been to West Ham a couple of times and thought it was like a library. Silent and disinterested compared to my team (Pompey) and a lot like watching American sport. Millwall and Orient are better options.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Have been to Orient once but can't remember the atmosphere. West Ham isn't great for an atmosphere but it's better than no live football at all!

[@leehjones]

One of my mistakes during my Isle of Man residency was not going to see a Premier league match. It seems to be an other-world experience. Maybe next time.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Sorry to hear that Lee, I've been to plenty and whilst it's not as great as Motherwell vs Kilmarnock it scratches the itch for me :)

[@ialwaysgetjipped7945]

One thing I don't like about some of your folds is that you don't seem to consider how under-repped you are. You're playing at stakes where these guys can do anything. Take the JJ fold on 996, that's a super safe board to c bet AK for that amount when it was 4 bet already.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I don't think any hand wants to cbet for that amount tbh, generally when you're in position in 4 bet pots you want to use smaller bets, so it was worrying to me when the half pot cbet came in. It's certainly a spot I might get roasted for folding, and I accept that, but generally we face smaller bets there and when we face a bigger bet it felt much more likely my opponent had QQ+

[@ialwaysgetjipped7945]

@garyblackwoodpoker but as you said they'd want to use smaller sizing even with nutted hands like AA/KK. This is exactly why I was saying you can't predict people at these stakes in a live game. I'm not trying to roast you either btw was just saying you're underrepped a lot when you fold hands and it should be accounted for more often imo.

[@vissu1]

Would've been so temptating to just raise his weak cbet on the turn at [11:32]. Yeah you had a pair, but still..

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yep it's super tempting, would I raise a 7 here though? I'm unsure. I guess with two flush draws out there I would, so maybe raise turn/shove river is the play!

[@TM-ri3ii]

Motherwell? So are you a Celtic or Rangers fan?

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Lmfao you have triggered me so hard and you know it

[@gavinstrelitz1558]

I thought you were a Citizen, not an Iron. Good luck on the felt

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Kinda neither tbh, just got $ on City/Celtic to win the league, looking bleak atm!

[@maniaco187]

They need to change the $100 chip … they look too much like the $5

[@rickroll3890]

more soccer in the future and you were biking on the wrong side of the road!

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Hahahaha what a wholesome comment. I should have called a cab instead huh? It’s 20 blocks home! Color.

[@paulmaier6305]

sometimes the mailman has downswings as well....biting dogs, black ice, etc.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

So true tbh. The perfect variance free career doesn't exist!

[@chiltdog1259]

Not convinced the kq hand is a snap call witn the river. Really doubt many players are finding many bluffs other then j10.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

We can chop + beat value, think it's a pretty mandatory call tbh, especially for the price we are being offered.

[@leehjones]

1. Still no sign of Victoria C-M in your vlog. 2. Drunken Lime-bike drive through the streets of London. In the dark. In the rain. What could possibly go wrong? Get 5k more subs and treat yourself to an Uber imo.

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

I had 13 minutes left of a ride-pass from earlier in the day! I tweeted VCM but no reply and I don't wanna pester her. Maybe one day our paths will naturally cross :)

[@BenjaminRaven]

only watched because you didn’t call it soccer

[@sindijsanspoks3122]

Its a very very black wood, still hearing Tyson FUrys voice, very controversial things going on here besides boxing, cant watch it anymore :D Id unsubscribe if I was subscribed :D Props to Gary though

[@DasJusMean]

First

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Wizard

[@energyequilibrium]

Oh my god. The KQ vs JT was just disgusting river 🫢 So unlucky because you know he would’ve bluffed on a blank as well… Jesus

[@garyblackwoodpoker]

Yes he was waiting for PLO which means he would have 10000000% bluffed the river!
