Bagging the CHIP LEAD with $1.1 MILLION for First! | Rampage Poker Vlog

[@daveyjamesolson]

I actually prefer these tournament vlogs especially when it shows the realistic side of poker. It helps to soothe my own tournament pain by knowing I'm not alone. :)

[@nicholi2789]

Yeah except these are 10k buy in tournaments and the fields are vastly better then what the average player will face

[@Mr.PigMcOinks]

Fr I felt like a dumbass showing up to my first tournament and losing on the second hand but after watching a professional do it makes me feel like that’s just how it goes sometimes

[@jacob61194]

10k buy in or $500 buy in... it's tough losing flip after flip when you're making the right GTO plays. I got 1010 all in pre vs AK for 2 bullets in $400 bounty tourney this weekend. Lost two flips. Way she goes sometimes. Sick game 😅

[@sallyboy66]

Not necessarily the realistic side. More like where all the nits play. Pure raw poker is in the cash games

[@chevedew9251]

Pls play cash. Post flop play is much more interesting than seeing flips. Sure trophies are nice, but thought process and maneuvering with analysis is much more interesting. Thanks! Great stuff. Keep up the sun run!

[@MrCarlsonC]

Absolutely love your tournament videos. It’s really cool to see the transparency of tournament poker

[@Siri-vm1ze]

Rarely leave any comments but a huge fan! You’re such a down to earth person. You’re true to yourself and others which is why everyone loves you! I’ve been following poker vloggers since Neeme so I go way back. You are by far my favorite. Hope you snap off a huge tourney in the near future! GL! Keep the content coming! Thank you!

[@doorcamper259]

Bro shut up like sorry I’m drunk

[@madzoom13]

Thanks for the realistic blogs...not showing only the ones you win.

[@RampagePoker]

I certainly go through my fair share of losing

[@chrismanzoni3586]

This is fantastic, really does make me feel a lot better about my recent tournament downswing! Actually quite entertaining, and reassuring as well!

[@jamesmorphis8044]

A,5 of clubs…. What the hell was she doing?! What an amazing end of day gift!! Let’s goooo Rampage! Can’t wait to see day two!!

13:48 really enjoy these dude! as a cash game player wanting to get into tournaments it gives me perspective on the tournament playstyle/mentality, much appreciated

[@fish4191]

Love your transparency bro. It helps me as well to see the ups and the downs. It can be tilting to run bad and just watch winning videos 😅❤

[@RampagePoker]

Can’t escape the downs in tourney poker

[@ScaredMoney-Poker]

Always appreciate the HONEST side of being a Poker Pro... Keep It Real...and Best of Luck My Friend

[@safuurooster4131]

Love your tournament videos. I loojed for you when I had tome at the WSOP in Cherokee North Carolina, but didnt see you. Hopefully, if you played there earlier this month, there will be some videos coming. Camt wait to see the rest of thos one and see how you did at the Hard Rock!

[@bubblebaath7840]

Holy fuck was that a roller coaster of a video, tournament poker seems so brutal at times Like being a winning player is about long term optimal play and profitability but in a tourni, just playing well isn’t enough and you really gotta get lucky and run good Also I’m so psyched for the million dollar cash game you’re playing later this month, sending you my prayers bc holy fuck I’d be shitting myself with that much money on the table

[@AJ4LYF95]

I actually much prefer these to cash games - so much more variety!!

[@scubashooter]

Ethan, your go for broke tourney style is great when you are sun running. However, no one runs hot the majority of the time. You need to find a balance and learn how to fold those mid level hands, especially on the river. That all in shove on a stone cold bluff full house board made no sense at all as it was an easy sniff out for the guy with middle pair 7’s. Bet 1/2 your stack and maybe he see’s it as a value bet vs. a stone cold bluff. If he calls at least you still have some chips. Tournaments are a marathon not a sprint.

[@gregkender5266]

I love your tourney videos. Its nice to see you lose sometimes. Your honesty is refreshing

[@mrsheth1984]

Ethan can you please post the part 2. Just a request don't keep too much gap between the videos. It spoil the excitement. Cheers

[@cwaddle]

I think he uploads it weekly. Makes sense, very disciplined of him to do so

[@catherinefoote5717]

Yes I have been waiting in anticipation for how you run.

[@bkmaloney1]

The reality of tournament poker is that you rarely cash no matter who you are. Keep the videos coming Ethan!

[@darrenlord1533]

Tournament vlogs are great, keep em coming 😊

[@RampagePoker]

Glad you like them!

[@rb5043]

So glad you pick up. You did everything right but that’s just how it is sometimes, it just doesn’t work but you just have to do how it should be done! Hope you will come out winning! Will be waiting for the next update! G’luck

[@CrackyMoss]

Algorithm sent me your way couple days ago! Really nice vlog format, like all your videos. Best wishes going forward

[@daviekuklatv]

Damn what a turn around of momentum after loosing in those other lesser ones. But hey it is the big tournament that counts. Keep up the great coverage, and thanks for educating us all on the tactics and thinking that goes into it

[@nicky_t1468]

I appreciate the way you play tournys. If you ever read "the biggest bluff" she has a part where she says she was playing tournys, cashing well, but her coach, the legend Eric Seidel told her she was cashing too often meaning she wasn't taking risks and min cashing too much vs trying to get a big stack aka ginger variance poker early in tournys. Who does that sound like? You Rampage! I think your style is well suited for tournys as you embody that philosophy and once deep in a tournys you sometimes stay too aggressive/high variance for my liking, but no doubt it is the right strategy for early to post-bubble play. Can't wait to see day 2! Good luck

[@l.s.6680]

3:30 can’t imagine how you are not broke. would be wonderful if you would make a video-explaining (about poker tournaments and your experience)

[@TournamentPoker]

Tournament videos are the best. thanks for the content

[@toxicjs7825]

i wish you had come to coconut creek, I was there just over the weekend and wish i could have met you!

[@justinviscome8305]

It's a good day when rampage drops a vlog, might come by the hard rock in around an hour away

[@rogergonzalez9295]

Who's the my number One Punter? You are, yes you are! Good boy 😅😅

[@billygoode9081]

Loved looking at the guy at the other tables buttcrack during the kings hand, great stuff Ethan!

[@zlotchew]

Love the video! We’re here to watch you battle! You can’t always win. Losing is not boring. It’s a very large part of tournament poker. And we learn from you sharing the thoughts behind your decisions.

[@mcfly7]

Show all gamble. And yes, the main thing is to have fun and be happy.

[@golfmaniac007]

here i am having a hard time buying in a second bullet for $300 at my local cardroom tournament and rampage buying $10k second bullet. 🤣

[@radiuum]

Take into consideration that most of these buyins are not his money… but rather staked money…

[@justinkueneman6784]

happy Sunday morning Ethan! the day has just got better! another banger!

[@charlestompkins8819]

I love the Tournament style. I play a lot of cash but am moving to tournament play. Bring it!!! Can’t wait for the next video…

[@Team_Fury]

Hi Ethan, I’ve just watched a vlog of yours from only 7 months ago where you had your biggest ever cash game win at the time of: £27,500 !! Yep now you’re playing $100,000+ pots regularly. Keep up the good work. All the best. Jamie 👍🏻😀💪🏻

[@johnbarletta5680]

Love this, thanks for being real and not just showing wins. You can't win them all.

[@1973crazylegs]

LMFAO!! Title bagging the CHIP LEAD, at the end bagging second in chips!! lol... still great playing!!

[@rhcp9009]

Just in time during this beautiful Sunday Grind! GL every1 during your tournaments today : )

That guy who folding queens against your queens blew my mind 😂

[@paulcox9366]

6-9 needs no jokes. It owns itself. Best of luck in day 2

[@Mdefoy83]

Allin on the river with A5 of clubs ? What a punt 🤦‍♂️😂

[@ricky1856]

I was thinking the same…she torched that hand..3b! The flop too? 😂😂

[@ImWatchingYou2012]

Thanks for posting Ramp I’d really enjoyed it! ☘️

[@aaronjg682]

When Bally's in AC still had a poker room I remember 6-9 getting called Big Lick. Always stuck with me. Hehe....nice.

[@SlothsScratchers]

Bro.. why you calling these all ins with AJ and AQ off? It's crazy

[@nugs44]

Been thinking about playing my first tournament, you coming to Tampa?

[@jeffreydiaz8074]

Ethan, how do you play on WPT Global from the us? Do you use a particular vpn? If anyone else knows the answer to this please share

[@mauriceharp1454]

Was gonna ask the same question. Maybe he can do it because he's some sort of ambassador or something?

[@mikebaxter6467]

Come to Florida and vlog the cash game nosebleeds 🎉

[@MrBayoublue]

I like seeing the real life grind too

[@w0ntuanASMR]

The nuts in baccarat is the nuts in poker 😂

[@jamesontaunton5927]

After watching dozens and dozens of videos of "poker pros" I have come to the conclusion that the difference between pros and rec players is the amount and frequency they are willing to gamble, even in situations where they know there is a good chance they are behind. It is all a numbers game.

[@jimpack4283]

Hi long time viewer. I think you should register ON TIME! With ur style of play, you could pick up lots of chips early without risking ur whole stack. Just my opinion lol

[@twassell25]

how is he playing on wpt global while in florida?

[@ljfeflips]

Because he’s sponsored by WPT. They allow him to play in the US, but he has to cash out when he’s overseas.

[@robertglueckjr.6906]

Wow is that really the reason why he is allowed to play? I was curious about this also! So sponsored players are allowed to play. Regular players are not? Lol crazy!

[@elvinb.899]

ufff... rough start! Staying at the Hardrock would soften the blow.

[@dchlimper19]

As a cash player who caught the tourney bug after a couple binks i enjoy these more than the cash now 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@3tusHenry]

How much buy-ins between the two days, what place you have to get to break even.

[@kurtismoore4319]

How are you legally allowed to play wpt global in Florida

[@gregoryschmidt1233]

I wonder if it would be a long-term +EV play to call every time Rampae goes all-in?

[@olizonme]

Watching you play makes me realize its impossible for me to make a career out of this 😅

[@robbieskodacek9088]

Videos are great, keep em comin'

[@mattwise7965]

betting the 8 makes it look like you dont have the 8 and your straight bluffing to steal, good call by your friend Anthony

[@dgoddard]

It's good to see someone else running bad. Guess I'm not the only one. Took 2nd in a deepstack a week ago for a $1000 profit. Then lost it all playing NLH before my next tourney started. The poker gods giveth and the poker gods taketh away.

[@RampagePoker]

Running bad will always be relatable

[@lyticaLx]

The hand on 8:30 wow.. thought this shit only happens on clubgg lmao

[@keithrivera3389]

We crossed paths the other night at Encore outside the elevator. Caught you after a few drinks not sure if you remember 😂

Nice meeting you man! I was pretty high lol

[@Icyhotkettlepot]

@@RampagePoker haha no worries man, I was as well. Nice to meet you too!

[@TheDieHardMMAPodcast]

I am deeply upset at the lack of 69 jokes in the comments when Rampage SPECIFICALLY asked for them.

[@mysocalledknife07]

I play tournaments exclusively, and I'm just wondering this: why do you late reg so often and, consequently, only play with 20 - 45 BB?

[@cybarton]

Haha top tip, keep a spare clean T-shirt in your backpack at all times :)

[@jdmizr]

Great video man! Great to see your progress. Keep at it PS: WAWA IS GOATEDDDD

[@StoneyMcFly]

This video was awesome brother!

[@jamesontaunton5927]

It's so funny to hear the reasoning for making certain calls, raises, etc...after they have happened. Would be better if it was done live.

[@baustin2402]

Damn... you be shooting bullets like you're on a "all inclusive" gun range! 😁 *can't wait for the conclusion 🤗

[@danielbentley7117]

Always love your videos Ethan! Running deep in the one that really matters! But is it really worth wasting 2.2k multiple times on Late Reg rebuys when you only have enough chips for a 15-20bb shove?

[@paulreinicke6366]

69 shall be known as 96 now due to the higher cost of eating out. 😂

[@dunglifemovement]

I am having a great day. Hope you're having a good one too, Rampage.

How do you play wptglobal from FL?

[@ljfeflips]

Only because he’s sponsored by WPT. They allow him to play while in the US but he can only cash out when he’s overseas.

It definitely sucks to lose brother, but I think maybe Florida is your kryptonite

[@denisfolcik1373]

Max late reg gives me anxiety haha. I don't like even being late in the first level for my 1st buyin. If already in tho, I will max late reg at times, since of course it's better than being out haha.
