[@ahhhhhsht]

Andrew Neeme I don’t think the 20% off code worked for me. Not a big deal, just thought I’d let you know.

[@AndrewNeeme]

ahhhhhsht We’ll refund you the 20% if we haven’t already.

[@darrindawson5233]

Hey Andrew when will there be more hats available

[@brandonbarton9942]

if you ever come to Florida, go to the Sarasota Kennel club. their poker room is insane packed everyday and poker room is 24 hours on the weekends. I'm pursuing my dream, playing poker which has worked well for me this year. that's my spot and I love the vibe you get from the place it's just a really fun place with a bunch of old retired gentleman lol.. but they have 2/5 and 5/5 and I've seen a few 5/10 games also. idk dude im just rambling on but thank you for your all your time and effort bro with putting these together. I imagine it takes up alot of your time and I'd just like you to know personally I appreciate it man. it makes my day, Everytime I watch it I'm usually playing or you make me get in my car and go play. you're a beast!!!

[@adhdboy1000]

That's not fair I've already had a hoodie! But holy shit I would love a phone call, we've emailed back and forth before. (i'm the guy from Hawaii) good luck out there, I love my regular didn't-come-with-a-phone-call hoodie just the same.

[@WatchTube44]

I really appreciate the analyses in your videos. Including hand ranges, bet sizing, profiling opponents, and giving us the reasons for each move, makes your videos great experiences and learning tools.

[@saintsfan39475]

When your videos are this good, who cares how long they are? That's a trick question, nobody minds extra content by the best vlogger on the interwebs.

[@joegilbert1317]

Best part of your VLOGS Mr. Neeme….makes the other VLOGGERS better. Bet you did not realize this. Shows that you are the leader. Keep them rolling. Enjoy all of the Vloggers. Thanks.

[@mattcavanagh590]

For real, the long the better. I enjoy these videos so much, not only for the solid poker content but you're clearly competent with contemporary vloging. Love it. Keep up the awesome work.

[@almu2680]

The min raise of vilain on the flop with AQ is.... favorable... for you! Nice session Mr Neeme 👍

[@stevenyoung8769]

Definitely a good strat to just keep things simple in those games. It makes your check back with the 9/7 even better. You have him ranged perfectly and he most likely will not fold to almost any bet on the river

[@Adityanair999]

Been watching your vlogs since the beginning, and I think you're one of the realest out there. Can't wait to see you win a big event at the WSOP and get those million dollar cashes to your name because you deserve nothing less. Goodluck Neeme ✌🏻

[@genessis43]

Vlogs are 🔥. The music selection, the flow of your editing skills, relatable content, thought out camera shots/transitions, the cool & interesting locations you take us to for hand analysis (even if sometimes @ the apt), the clear expressions & narratives from your perspective, down to drone footage & your likeable/genuine personality makes you my #1 vlogger. Btw this wasn’t long, I watched it twice, oh can I get a Neeme♥️? This comment is long, k bye.

[@AndrewNeeme]

Thank you!

[@a-yo126]

Wanted that Favorable tee with the black on black but I am soooo late to this party. Great videos. I have been playing poker for a long time but not LEARNING. Still a rec after playing (again) for about ten years. But watching you and Brad help me LEARN more. And that is something I truly appreciate! My son (who is way smarter than I on a great many things along with poker) says that a dream of his is for both of us to play at the WSOP. I guess that’s a dream of any poker player. Again thanks for all of these videos and continue to get that run good!

[@Train3131]

"You got lucky, hitting that Jack on the turn!" That would be perfect to add that clip there from Rounders....#cometoSTL

[@mikelong2756]

Adam Elliott yeah it was luck. Does he look like a man beaten by Jack's full😂

[@marky147]

Wish it was the 23rd of June... I'd be a week into my trip, and over my jetlag :) Thanks, as always, and all the best for the summer!

[@AndrewNeeme]

More dates to come. 👍🏼 The best to you as well!

[@fatboy070786]

Never ever say the video is to long already haha its never to long sir 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@bettyjane6684]

You can’t get a cup of coffee large enough or an AN Vlog long enough to suit me :)

[@guerro327]

I played at Aria last year during WSOP. Great poker room and great action. I had a great time. Thanks as always Andrew for sharing with us.

[@matthewpowell4199]

Solid video again Neeme. I love the guy ripping it with 6,3!

[@Jwillinger]

I think you’re absolutely correct about UTG ranges not being that tight in the lower to mid stakes games. I’ve found that Hold Em you only get playable hands a small % of the time so recreational players playing these low stakes games don’t care or even think different because they’re under the gun and they get KT off especially if that’s one of the best hands they’ve seen. In the bigger/better games that absolutely changes though.

[@melfooman17]

Haven’t watched it yet but a 20+ min vlog deserves a big thumbs up. Thanks AN

[@bradfreemantle9112]

Man you can’t make a video that’s too long, who you kidding. Keep them coming. Makes my day each time I get the new video notification!!!

[@jcsoundguy]

I already have a hoodie but looking forward to 2.0 for sure. Count me in. Keep those big boy sizes too please!!!

[@peter_piper]

Great Vlog again especially for recreational players Andrew. Explaining your thinking about what you thought on each street is really helpful. A Brit

[@donaldcedar7574]

I laughed out loud @ the 7-4 of spades vs AA hand.

[@JayCrew30]

I'm amazed at how some people are calling a large 3bet with 63 suited. Love the vlogs Andrew! Keep 'em coming! Like I've said before, the GOAT of KZbin vlogs!

[@AndrewNeeme]

Folding is boring man!

[@pocketqqueens]

Great vlog, congrats on the run good. Glad to see you interact with your followers and personally call them! Thats fantastic! Good luck during the wsop, hope you crush it! Maybe see you in Vegas.

[@lukekenny2328]

I got work tomorrow but a New Andrew vid is cutting into my sleep. 100% Worth it, keep up the great content!

[@PatX2]

Love seeing all those hands..Keep it up...Great explanations of your thought process.

[@jajison]

It seems like Andrew has been waiting his whole life to say “check your local listings” hahaha

[@kmsnow6292]

I like your strategy there Andrew. Step down to 2-5 for while to ride out the run bad. That last JJ hand was definitely a boost for confidence, and hopefully more run good will come. Good luck in the upcoming WSOP. You are still my favorite.

[@AndrewNeeme]

Thanks buddy. 👊🏼

[@dizzynikki527]

18:50 Question about how tight utg raise ranges are these days 17:27 Answer

[@nich3683]

11:29 i love the pocket tens jam on the flop. Classic bad recreational villain behavior. [Southern Accent]: "Alright now I'll just and see a flop with my tens, in case a high card comes out. But if it's a low board I'll jam all-in for 7 times my opponent's bet." Sound strategy. I was actually in this exact situation before, 3-way all-in, where I and another guy both hand 7-8 for flopped top two, and the third guy had 3-bet jammed the flop wth pocket tens. The turn and river went Q-Q so me and the other 7-8 got counterfeited. Classic.

[@Jwillinger]

BESSBOSS how do you play TT?

[@shih-shuansteventuan7017]

The moment you land in Vegas and Nemee welcomes you with a new vlog 🙌🏼

[@mikee984]

Great vlog as always Andrew - really enjoy the honesty and analysis. One suggestion if you don’t mind - it would be great if you let us know what the relevant stack sizes are earlier in the hand which factors into bet sizing - you do let us know frequently once it gets to river or all-in, but it would be great to know earlier just to help analyze the hand better. Thanks a lot, and good luck!!!

[@jeremymorley5670]

Still the best vlogger hands down. By a wide margin. I hope you ship a WSOP event this year dude. Get that hardware! I root for good things to happen to good people, and you can tell from your content you're a person of high character and integrity which is rare in the gambling community.

[@benw4467]

Love a good long Neeme vid filled with hands, Good luck in the WSOP this year Andrew, I'll be out there in early July, I'll kep an eye out for you!

[@AndrewNeeme]

Gl to you too!

[@mackmeter]

Andrew, this vlog was awesome. I didn't think it was too long. Very much appreciate the high % poker content. The analysis and thought process and insight are terrific! Hope I can make it to Vegas for a MUG.

[@CatsMeowPaw]

Just returned from my casino poker session, it's 3:43am here, and a Neeme video appears. Favourable.

[@MarkDavidBuckles]

They should make a shirt with the British spelling.

[@enriquealeman1900]

Love what you do for the Poker community Andrew. Keep up the run good!

[@33Preston33]

It looks like another #favorablefriday !!!! Thanks for the upload Andrew!

[@oliver8510]

These 2/5 games sound amazing value. GL this summer

[@bstafford11]

Just another supreme Neeme production...keep up the great work. See you on June 6 at the MUG

[@manlyminnesotan]

Sweet vlog, and great hand with the boat for the win! I did notice that your intro date showed June instead of May... Jumping the gun to half way through the WSOP already! Cheers!

[@AmBen83]

I think a10 squeeze play is fine but if the game is too loose I tend to tighten up my range. These 2-5 games are usually loose so I prefer to get in with hand that has high implied odds preflop.

[@rossferger9229]

Oh crap!! "Just poker hands"!! My face hurts from smiling so much!! Lol

[@AndrewNeeme]

I aim to please. Sometimes.

[@jimtaloff4640]

Hey Andrew Well I gave it a good shot and asked at Bellagio poker if you were there last night. Leaving tomorrow and back in July. Good luck at the WSOP.

[@jordanmokricky8328]

Good job Andrew, glad to see some overall run good for you this time! Keep it goin brotha

[@Platopoker]

Perfect timing for the meet up game as I will be in Vegas the first week of June for the WSOP. See ya soon!

[@AndrewNeeme]

Looking forward to it Larry. 👊🏼

[@xxyanlixx]

So glad youre back on the green side andrew. I was getting anxious that the downswing may affect your vlog-larity. But you kept your head up and kept going. Proud of you man wish i have the guts to be a poker pro. And like i said before, if you make to macau, to the asian continent, ill be there to grind with you. No homo. Props to you!

[@gsr886]

Pretty remarkable you logged a session from June 2018 already...must have been a wild rollercoaster!

[@AndrewNeeme]

This is what happens when you have WSOP schedule on the brain. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jaysterling3260]

Geoff Roberts lol I said the same thing

[@nevadanlv5469]

Wow! Sigh of a flat tire..lol! Damn Good job again Mr.Favorable! The beer must have taste good after that run Cheers!

[@jackdueceycomicstape3747]

Andrew been watching all of your content the past month. Started w Brad Owen then Jaman Burton. Maybe Johnnie Vibes next? Love this vlog culture u got here. Take care

[@mercilpb]

I think I prefer checking back turn with 9c7c. You can still try to bluff Kx OTR if you are feeling saucy

[@danman274]

In my opinion you played the ATo hand perfectly, if anything you could size your squeeze slightly larger ($70ish) since live players are stations

[@brianjoyce9040]

Great back to basics vlog. Much enjoyed. Nice run Andrew

[@acardioxc]

I feel a favorable crescendo coming as you head into the WSOP

[@TheMichellemoran12]

Andrew said this video was long. I didn't feel that way at all. This brings up the question......how long could I watch neeme before I think it's too long?

[@AndrewNeeme]

Should I make a feature film vlog?

[@TheMichellemoran12]

I'm thinking something like a Lord of the rings situation?

[@Ginzaloon]

I really like the long Vlogs!!! Especially when you ship it$$$

[@stevehungerford4305]

Love all the hand history...definitely NOT too long.

[@84junious]

Andrew I hope you play in the WSOP this year and crush. Love your videos they are a big help to my game.

[@AndrewNeeme]

Thanks bud, that’s great to hear.

[@FilipinoGino]

Excited for the WSOP! I'll be there in 2 weeks for the Milli Maker. Maybe I'll see ya down there bro. Great job on the vlog...love the editing! -pokerninja

[@Alchiiii]

I really like the small bet on the flop with 97cc, but I think you can size it up a bit in my opinion to maybe 40% pot (60ish). I really like the idea to continue semi-bluffing in this hand despite picking up a pair on the turn, and your sizing is consistent, I think the plan should be to almost always barrel the river here though. You have an immense range advantage and you want to be getting 3 streets of value with holdings AQ KK+ AK, and thus you should be barreling with flush draws / fd + pair to balance that out. I was thinking you should've bet close to PSB on the river so that you can polarize your range between missed FDs and monsters. That way you get payed off to the max when you get called and have it, and you'll likely get a large percentage of weak aces to fold when you're bluffing.

[@AndrewNeeme]

Agree with pretty much everything. Think flop size is mostly fine, and think river size should be a slight overbet.

[@chrispythegull]

I am inclined to agree with you if this occurred in a vacuum, but we have to consider Andrew's action here and how it's being perceived as well. He's raised pre and he's bet the flop, and villain is still hanging around. Semi bluffing the turn here with no blockers to anything (except middling clubs, which is what we WANT villain to have) is just never going to achieve what a semi-bluff is designed to achieve, which is to get better to fold. Also, do you really want to be check/jammed off your equity on the turn? It's true we have a range advantage, but how does our range advantage look after opponent's line? Not nearly as impressive. i say take the free river card and try to realize our equity against what is clearly an Ace of better from villain.

[@rossferger9229]

Sorry Andrew, only 1 way to play Jacks, and that's with a little rubber ball!!

[@leroybocanegra2077]

Great win brother! Also, your vlogs are never too long!

[@l9cowey]

Love to see the run good Andrew. It had to come back around. Nice session

[@ralphsmith647]

Nice session Andrew back on the Lasik Trail

[@halcyonataractic8623]

I miss hearing you say Favorable along with your excited smile. 😀 The only time you said it was about your Merch. Amazing video as always though. ❤

[@the-chillian]

My only 2-5 NL experience was at one of your MUGs, and I had the feeling I was maybe the second-worst player at the table and was glad to get away with a tiny profit. It's somehow a comfort to know that typical 2-5 play is about the same it is at the 3-100 spread limit at my local cardroom. Just with larger stacks. I'd be able to get to your next MUG if my original travel plans to Vegas didn't change, but I'll unfortunately be out a week later instead.

[@xavierpoes4985]

good timing for starting running good, with the wsop on next corner. keep it up!

[@jf5618]

Glad the coaster ended up...favorable! Re ATo 3-bet...a little too weak/vulnerable in 2/5 cash where you’re more likely to lose big pots or win small ones. Suit that AT...maybe but rather 3-bet 9Ts than ATo personally. Wish you the very best and look forward to some WSOP cash action and tourney vlogs! Keep up the hard work man!

[@AndrewNeeme]

Yeah I think it’s unnecessary as well. Thanks man, gl to you too.

[@SucramRenrut]

I feel like so few live villains are capable of 4 bet bluffing from under the gun that a 4 bet is so heavily weighted to QQ+ that is is probably arguable you can make an exploitable fold with JJ if you do get raised. Even AK off is probably a call instead of a 4 bet for most rec players.

[@AndrewNeeme]

You’re probably right.

[@shanebeckim5444]

The call w AT on the T85 board is a tough one considering you had no clubs. The jam indicated either a made weak hand of two pairs or a really good draw. You don’t usually see a jam of 2.5x the pot on a weak draw when a call still leaves them fold equity. In either case, you’re not favored and 560 to win1,000 isn’t great equity. His range could have include J9c, 79c, 67c, T8 suited, 88, or 55.

[@AndrewNeeme]

I’m not favored but with the dead money in the middle it’s pretty neutral ev at worst I would think. Blocking top set/top two, and blocking no draws, just seems like his hand is gonna be face up here a lot. It’s a pretty standard jam size with a hand like his I think. If you hate variance then I guess fold is fine.

[@shanebeckim5444]

Andrew Neeme I guess a lot of it would depend on his behavior. If he’s a loose player it’s a good call. But if he’s been playing straight up, you have some gold fold equity there.

[@shanebeckim5444]

Andrew Neeme The only other point to consider is if he would be jamming with a worse hand than a two way draw. He’s not jamming with KT or worse. So the best you might hope for is an open ended straight draw only which tilts the odds in your favor significantly. You can narrow his range significantly once he jams and his particular holding here is right near the middle of that range now. However, with your instincts on player behavior, I trust your decision was appropriate.

[@Chris-dt8ru]

Shouldn't feel about about your boat on the turn. He let you get there by betting for value. If he had thought of the entire hand from the start he could have put you on a chop situation or a nut flush draw or something and needed to get it in early to make it harder for you to continue. I think you made a great choice calling the flop bet.

[@ronvalentini6306]

Andrew save the adventurous route for when you go for a hike. The A/10 hand you went off the path. Betting always makes sense to you. If not you will talk yourself into betting. Talk about aggressive.

[@MartinThalmann]

Great episode ! Thanks for sharing

[@marceloimperialjr7502]

When your early for a vlog and I can’t wait for see 2.0 for the favorable apperal 😀

[@Heyitsmax85]

i would recommend revising your cbet strast, it seems like when you are the pfr your cbet oop is like 85%. Consistent with a 2005 poker strat. Good videos mate keep them up!

[@AndrewNeeme]

Thanks. Which hand would you have not cbet?

[@Heyitsmax85]

i dont recall which hand but as an example, if you open A10s utg and get 3 callers like mp co and BB, flop is 1096 fd i wouldnt cbet into 3 players. CO range for flatting utg raise is generally quite strong and equites are very close on this texture. I personally find live players cbet way to much oop. If you study HS online players most oop cbet strat is like 30% approx, and much smaller sizes. Live is different because players are much weaker, however there is merit to understanding why and when you should be cbetting. gl and may run into you at wsop!

[@AndrewNeeme]

Thanks man. What about ATo in 3b pot in position on T85ccx vs two players?

[@Heyitsmax85]

for that example i would be betting around 1/3 pot, we need protection and dont want to give away free equity vs overcards. I have noticed though, and as you said in your vids you squeeze alot of off suit broadways. I dont think this is very profitable. I would recommend using suited combos mainly because they are much more playable postflop and also because if you include off suit combos in your range it will increase the amount of bluffs you have tremendously, and you have no way to balance that. Unless, ofcourse your only do it with particular combos, but i doubt thats the case.

[@stevenreed2013]

Lot of hands there. Congrats on the big win!

[@MrAndersonmm]

Man spiking that miracle turn is such an amazing feeling, and such a shitty feeling when your opponent gets there against you. Glad you got it turned around just in time for the WSOP!

[@johnbonar8076]

Heading to Vegas on Sunday, maybe our paths will cross. Your vlogs are amazing and the quality over the past 1+ years is incredible. Keep up the good work.

[@AndrewNeeme]

See you in town John.

[@Cubsin-cs3do]

And now I'm gonna be late to work. Gotta watch.

[@Stever99999]

Don't EVER apologize for longer video; too much of a good thing is....still a good thing. Nice to see Aria adding tables for WSOP; the 2 hour+ waits were annoying.

[@joegillum]

Love the losing flush whammy sound, I lol'd at that.

[@AndrewNeeme]

😂❌

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

what a great ( bird? ) sound effect when u had jacks full on the turn and said " this time its about $550 " LOL

[@Andyspencer]

Good effort Andrew! Love the vlog as always!

[@nima5398]

Lol you saved money when he just called with his flush, whoa

[@danny41311]

Who else gives thumbs up before watching his videos?

[@chaydoh0918]

You give away so many jewels! You are great for the community!

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

rewatch..... Great stuff ! ! !

[@jdicari9534]

Great vlog as always keep them coming

[@HaCkEr6662k7]

Okay, i actually made it to the US from Germany and i am so looking forward to be in one of the meetup games. I come to vegas beginning of July and i hope you will host the last of the three mentioned games in this time. If not, i would love to meet for beer...s!

[@MrPaulydizzle]

Amazing hand breakdowns

[@HossEagle75]

I would love to see another episode of calling out or mail on the couch.

[@AndrewNeeme]

We’ll aim for another Calling Out soon. Also gonna be doing some other stuff with Benton in the near future.

[@anthonycarchidi578]

Hey Andrew, any thought of a possible OVER BET (never really see you use this play btw) on the 9c7c hand? Maybe like a bet of 600 on the river? That J on the river can complete a lot of hands. Like to hear your thoughts or if anyone mentioned it in your group text. Great vlog. And GL in the WSOP.

[@AndrewNeeme]

Yeah if we’re gonna bet the river that’s definitely the way to go. Thanks man, gl to you too. 👊🏼

[@NKKK19]

Anthony Carchidi Would we really overbet with our nutted hands there? I think it looks really bluffy with the FD missing. Plus opponent can have AJ for 2p which he’s gonna snap call because LOL-LIVE POKER. And may even Hero with AQ since he blocks the straight. Nevertheless, gonna try it next time and see what happens.

[@anthonycarchidi578]

N K yea the clubs missing might level him into a call Would need more info on the specific player

[@ChristopherCLindner]

On the ATo hand, the odds depend a lot on the villain's range. We need about 36% equity, and some of the hands the villain can have are crushing us (sets, two pair, big combo draws, JJ) and others that are close in equity or slightly beating us. In order for this to be okay, I think the villain has to be playing Ac2c-Ac5c and some tens this way (JxTx? QxTX? 9xTx?). I think that's true for some villains, but not others. And even when our opponent is loose, we're still only slightly profitable. It's an interesting hand, and I think you're correct to think about blockers. I'd also spend some time thinking about the opponent and your reads at this point, because this decision is pretty close by my calculation.

[@ChristopherCLindner]

Although having the Ac doesn't seem to change our equity much.

[@ianbent0n]

That dude's gotta raise more. You could have a flush or straight draw too.

[@chadfelt9927]

The 1 disliker didn’t have WiFi and the video didn’t load. Not because he disliked the god of KZbin poker

[@K1UU1]

Some run good at last bro! Loving your work as usual.

[@jimtaloff4640]

I know it's early for you Mr Neeme, lol. Just wondering if you are heading out tonight to play, and where. In Vegas a few more days and it would be neat to get you these Aruba chips. Let me know if you can.

[@lightningjoeslots7841]

Your math is off 1500+500 is 2000$ - 4100$ is 2100$ profit unless i missed something, love your vlogs

[@AndrewNeeme]

Yep. Maths is hard.

[@lightningjoeslots7841]

Andrew Neeme all good baby keep doing you

[@honebeadsmith5937]

Wow what a great session! Congrats Nemee.

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Not sure how the guy with Jh8h didn't raise or jam there? Scared of king high flush I guess? Something tells me if we (the royal we) had that hand aka the hands were reversed we make more coin there. Great vlog as always Neeme!

[@NKKK19]

Great session. Can you explain the river sizing of $275 into $345 with QJdd on KThh79ss6h? I tend to size a little smaller like $180 in these spots when the flush gets there (plus a backdoor straight) because it’s tough to get called by 2p/sets vs tight opponents if we have a tight image ourselves PLUS we can bet/fold cheaper to a possible c/r.

[@PapaCharlie9]

Yeah, I was kind of surprised by the large sizing of the value bet too. The river heart kills a lot of action. I'd bet even less, like $100 there. Would do the same with the nut flush.

[@AndrewNeeme]

Smaller makes sense too. I think a lot of his hands like KQ KJ or backdoor spades will fold to any bet, so I tried to get more from a straight and polarized somewhat for when I have backdoor spades myself. (Even though I might check AJss AQss on the flop at least sometimes.)
