[@BradOwenPoker]

As I mentioned at the end of the video, this is my first time using an editor in 5 years of making these videos. I'm curious as to what you all think about the new board layout. Certainly open to keeping it or reverting back depending on what you guys prefer but would appreciate any feedback. Thanks for watching.

[@oscrrr123]

Really enjoyed it, especially the board being in the left hand corner. Keep up the great work Brad!

[@dawnmarie2893]

An editor makes more sense, not just for you, but your viewers. Win/win.

[@mauritsgeerligs8596]

I like the 'old' layout of the cards more! other cuts and edits are great!

[@noobtubers999]

I think the new cards look better but it would be better being in the middle like before rather than the bottom left

[@jacksonstephens1107]

I like the old layout more. Thanks for posting!

[@kobukflowing]

Ever since you added the time stamp in the top right I’ve really loved it. Gives just a good sense of the grind you play through

[@glafo3202]

Time Stamp is awesome. Not a fan of the distracting music in the background

[@elchungo7055]

Agreed

[@largepants28]

Grind? Lol. He played for only 5 hours 😂

[@kobukflowing]

@@largepants28 This certainly isn’t the first vlog he’s had the time in. I was speaking generally

[@SimplyKevLive]

I think we all love It lol.

[@saulkeshen]

This is the best "running commentary" poker player video I have seen. I originally thought that I would take in maybe 4 or 5 minutes, but ended up watching right through to the end! It really felt like your cards were my cards, and those were my wins and losses.

[@edwardliddy]

i agree. but a little confused, he is a successful business owner now to add to his successful yt channel. why would that last hand be so concerning, i'd be lighting $3k on fire at the dice table on hardways with that kind of income stream. at least play in a 5/10/20 like his buddy and not take it so seriously. its not a nosebleed game. brad must have a vault like scrooge mcduck 🤑

[@Phil1053Locket]

@@edwardliddy my understanding is he’s a small percentage owner of the lodge as more of a marketing thing so he’s not uber rich. Also he should have about 20 buy ins which is 100k at these stakes (which is more than what he made in poker last year) so definitely probably doesn’t care to lose unnecessary money.

[@Texasp12]

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

Long gone are the days of playing $1/$2 and winning $12 in a session. What a journey! Also great decision to hire an editor. It will help you produce more content and preserve the quality or even better. It's a win/win/win situation.

[@danzutell4390]

Awesome having an editor helping you out...which means us viewers will be seeing your Jan/Feb results. Love, love, LOVE how honest you are in the videos. With my luck I would have been CRUSHED with your 8/6 suited, that's so my type of hand!! Good luck recovering from January Brad.

[@twine461]

Editing looked perfect! Clean and crisp cuts, perfect per usual! We like Mike

[@json37]

Loving the fact that most Poker Vloggers are adding the time in the top right corner so the viewers can look at the duration of the session; also fun to see what kind of games are running at what times! Great vlog!

[@since1876]

It also hopefully will help idiots out there realize that you don't wanna play every single hand! Folding is a good idea, a lot of people just seem to want to get lucky for the thrill of it. I guess that's good to play against those guys but it sure is annoying when they get there lol

[@DustinIsDriving]

Great video and editing. Hope ya get your goal early this year

[@douglasbyram6802]

Your editor did a brilliant job, loved the look and feel of everything, new board layout is nice and easy to read. Continued success and thanks for the content, love how much hand analysis you do and the amount of hands you show

[@felixsanroman5047]

Damn that last bluff hand was a 🔥 comeback. Good job!

[@the-selfish-meme7585]

You have come such a long way and it has been great making the journey vicariously with you... Thank you Mr. Owen - you spawned a whole genre - and you continue to smash it at the tables. We're all proud of you...

[@lvzee]

Unbelievably important to forget about whether you are winning or losing mid-session. If Brad wants to be taken seriously, he needs to focus completely on making the best decision, without being influenced by his recent results.

[@Imokay304]

Fr. Idk why he takes it into consideration even

[@frankdevries5739]

Your right but it's also his competitive nature that thrives him. As long as you make the right decisions it doesn't matter. His last hand though it looks like he was gambling to get even; if he was up he wouldn't have played the 86s that way. At least that's what I think.

[@counterfeit4450]

He’s a human being. Not a robot. Even the best players have a very difficult time letting go of losses and completely putting it out of their mind mid session, Brad is making a lot of money now. I’d say he’s doing just fine.

[@garettbutton7881]

I started watching your videos a year ago having no idea how to play poker or what you were saying but you talked fast and it was entertaining. I now play poker more days than I don’t and have absolutely fell in love with the game because of you. Thanks for the content Brad

[@dubluby]

Love how you battled with stronger opponents in this episode, it’s more fun to watch even if you don’t win as much. Keep it up and hope to see you in the biggest stakes one day!

[@ChaseHub]

I don't even play poker but I feel like I know more about the game since watching these past few months of BO's vids. This content flies by, man these ~25 minutes felt like 5. Good stuff Brad, keep 'em coming.

[@xxWh1teboixx]

Editing was just fine, as long as the information is on the screen. I love your vlogs because of the emotion you make us feel more than anything. As long as you keep commentating videos are A+. Your clips right after you finish a session are my favorite part of the videos, you can feel the relief/worry/excitement/sadness etc right after a huge grind, and it is just raw. Keep it up man!

[@danielsan83]

When I see Bradley post, it’s a must watch. One of the few youtubers I still do this for.

[@snowintokyo12]

You know it's a good day when you get off work, get a nice meal, and Brad releases a 30 minute vlog video!

[@yaouG1]

lodge live youtube, this is nothing, u wanna see the real brad?

[@Royalhotrod2000]

Your showing at the lodge doesn’t give you justice!! Keep teaching us more about the game and winning! Lots of love

[@williamsharpe927]

“He’s got very little regard for money at the moment. His primary objective is to wreck my world and have me make a video of it” Lmao I love it

[@daxg3540]

with that said you just can't fold QQ on that board. i think if this were Brad's 'normal' stakes given this read he prob doesn't either. Just so likely he has less than Kx here. (AK/KK/AA 5b pre, QQ blocks some Kx hands, guy likely to be floating flop and prob almost always firing turn when checked to, etc...)

[@jeremykline6687]

Really like how there is real time in the video. Haven’t watched much yet but when you say I got nothing for a couple hours, it’ll help the viewers a bit more as I can really feel like pain of potential hours of nothing

[@ericmcgrouther7368]

Awesome you got an editor man! Definitely the right move can’t wait for more videos

[@randyczarnetzki3949]

I really liked the new features of inserting the range charts and side critique from Nick on one of your hands. I try and learn a few things by watching your videos and those extra tidbits really help out.

[@smart_ape]

I’ve been following the vlog religiously, even if I don’t play poker really. I jump on your videos as soon as they pop usually. Small criticism, I love the crispness of the layover but I much preferred when the board was in the middle of the screen. Here, at the bottom left it bugged me enough that I thought I’d give you a feedback :) Maybe keep the layout but put it back in the middle, I give me more of an engaging feeling, because the board is so important, I want it to take the center stage ;) Love all the other info and how they are put together. Keep up the great work, you make it very entertaining, I’ll keep watching ;) Just thought

[@jackb.3741]

I disagree 100%. New layout you see everything at once and let’s you see the whole hand without having to cut

[@garfieldbraithwaite8590]

Brad, you’re wholesome gentle humour is a daily blessing, keep going brother

[@davidcollins2689]

It's great watching you play with your buddy Aaron, would love to see more of that in the future . keep taking big shots Brad !!!!!

[@blackjack19811]

It’s funny I haven’t played poker in at least 10 years but I can’t get enough of these vlogs. I did spend most of my 20’s gambling for a living (blackjack) so maybe it’s a way of reliving those late nights in the casinos. Ha ha.

[@DaftFader]

You were still shaking when you handed in your chips lol ... that was a wild bluff tho tbf ... nice job! :D

[@thomashamlet6276]

New editing style! Love it! Made my day when I got the notification that Brad posted 😃

[@ryanquinn5795]

That AA vs 62 hand would have been crazy if Aaron felt like gambling! Nice vlog brad!

[@rinnotstimpy1]

hell yeah...I thought the same

[@lokephoenix1039]

That 8c6c bluff was pure poetry. How you do shit like that without giving major tells is why you’re the pro and I’m the not-pro. Much love from the uk Brad ❤️

[@henryclark2841]

Hey Brad! I've been watching for a few years now and just wanted to give my feedback on the new cards layout. To be honest, I don't particularly like it compared to the old one. I appreciate you trying something new, though.

[@BradOwenPoker]

I always appreciate feedback on this type of thing. It's good to occasionally try new stuff. I personally think this looks a little cleaner but can understand how people may want to keep things as they were.

[@joshbrigham942]

@@BradOwenPoker I think it is simply a question of what we are used to from you Brad. I think, if you decide to continue having the vlogs made in this way, that people will get used to it. I must admit I wasn't happy when I saw the new graphic style either, however, this, I assume, is simply because I am used to it.

[@daveontomas7495]

Idk how to explain it but the old layout was so.. comfy?

[@airhead3333]

Disagree. New look is much more professional and allows you to clearly see the video. It also looks more structured And like a real flop on the table. He actually syncs the video with his commentary so it’s interesting to see chips, checks, and cards in the video. In my opinion. 2022 is going to be an insane year for this channel.

[@mattroxbury2691]

@@airhead3333 disagree about the the board graphics. What Brad had before was unique. Now it looks generic and blah. The rest of the editing was good

I've been playing live poker the last few weeks with some friends and consistently taking their money. Your vlogs have helped me so much on understanding the nuances of positional play and ranges. For the first time in years, I was able to pay my rent and bills in cash. Cheers!

I think the editor did a fine job...I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it. You ask for feedback here and there, so I wanted to add: Pre- and post- poker audio hasn't been very good over the history of the vlog. That room in your place is very echo-y. Maybe try an lavalier mic? I bought one on Amazon for $23 and it sounds great. Just a thought. As a counterpoint, if you asked me for a list of what I think needs improvement on this channel, the above would be the entire list. Love it today as much as ever. Keep it up!

[@davidabbott1846]

I like how you added the hand time stamp. Gives a better sense of how long you grind at the tables. IMO the time stamp should be under the card window and a little larger. Great videos as usual!

Could be our way of knowing who's editing? Also, just wanted to point out, at the 7:54 mark, your starting stack is incorrectly listed as $5000.At first, I thought maybe I missed something but I think it was just a typo.

I won't bore you with the details, but I got AA cracked Friday night at Belagio and honestly thought about you when I played the revenge range a few hands later with 64 suited.

[@hotwheelsnholdem4873]

tough grind on this game. well done on hanging in there. I'm working with Fausto to try and improve my game also. dealing with uncomfortable situations sparks that thought process and eventally it becomes second nature to recognize similar spots in future games and react more natural.

I find the music very distracting when I'm watching the videos. I love thinking thru all the info as you talk about what's going through your mind but gosh that music is trippy and distracting and I wish I could juat turn it off! :p (like listening to hype-elevator music while trying to solve a math problem haha) 2.
