[@BradOwenPoker]

Happy New Year guys! I created a new Facebook page where you can share your hand histories/pics/videos. If I feel like I can add any good insight in the hand histories, I'll give some input. Mostly hoping it's a cool place for the community to get better together. Here's the link: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089090585157

How did you and Spraggy meet ?

[@Spraggy]

An absolute pleasure once again my friend. I did a fair amount of learning that night indeed!

[@aaron6806]

You certainly add more than enough colour to the game for Brad's viewers. Maybe Brad should be paying you hourly just to bust his balls.

[@rosjierhall1997]

Well done with your Magnus Carlsen quote!

[@lonnysstuff8773]

You definitely helped to make this episode more fun and entertaining.

[@Eric-tj3tg]

Good show mate. Best at the tables and in your married life. Your twitch WTF moments are by far the funniest. "Is that reasonable?" No; it most certainly is not. Peace.

Last years Spraggy episode was my favorite poker vlog of all time. He makes such a perfect villian. I hate that he didn’t get to mix it up as much with you this time. Guys like you and Spraggs is what makes the game fun and lively and helps draw new players to the game. World Class.

[@josephkulka6598]

Which one is that?

[@lonnysstuff8773]

Both Spraggy and Sonny made this episode fun for me. Yet, instead of a villain, I saw Spraggy as a foil sometimes and as a wingman other times.

[@Bob-pm3rz]

As a Brit I appreciated Spraggy’s ‘I prefer not to speak’ Jose Mourinho moment !

[@adamcohen1570]

Yeah and “if I speak I’m in trouble”. Need more Brits on the felt.

Meeting and chatting with you at the WPT tourney, was a HUGE bucket list checked off. You’re a genuine and sincere person. Appreciate you taking the time!

The outro with you and Spraggy at the end was absolute gold. The friendship vibes were so strong.

[@budo_poker9852]

The Brad Owen commentary in this vlog, is truly legendary. You are witnessing greatness here people…..show some respect😂

[@playpianobyear]

Brad, we love you. As a "KZbinr" myself I'd like to say, you're winning (at life). I can't wait until your next upload. I'm always on the edge of my seat. I don't think my subscribers do that... all love bro. Amazing content and skills

[@kenp.9762]

The Frozen shot of scraggy when he didn't complete the full straddle, had me rolling on the ground. Instant classic !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Toast1776osrs]

love the sessions where the straddles go off the rails and the drinks are flowing. big home game vibes

[@Ashfold_Eberesche]

That scripting with the fireball shot was brilliant xD I love the way you work little mistakes into the script and make them funny. I remember nearly snorting my drink out my nose when you were like "...and then we take a few moments to stare at the ceiling" as the camera tilted up by mistake. It was so unexpected and funny.

[@mick-luv-in]

The old man joke almost went over my head since I haven't read the book, but I had to come to the comments to appreciate it once it hit me. Solid gold

“Looking for a hard candy.” Haven’t been caught off guard like that since that one time I sneezed and had to change my pants. Good stuff, Well played sir.

[@ryanrousseau79]

As a long time vlog watcher, I appreciate this session immensely. It’s too much fun to watch poker like this and I laughed along throughout with the shots at Spraggy in the screen text. Look forward to another year of exciting poker moments and good times shared among friends playing a game they clearly love. Happy new year!

[@dereks1743]

This session was a blast. 10/10

That AK laydown is incredible!! Well done Brad. Plays like this are pure learning for me.

[@OshawaStateOfMind]

Yep that’s what makes him a pro. I would pay that off without much thought.

That’s a very easy lay down, you’d understand if you played poker 😂

@@melanin_king I'm still learning. I'm sure you are professional level which I am not.

No it wasnt.....its just top pair... It's a decent fold but it's not a great onel he could have been beat by lots of hands there... You will understand if you learn how to really play

[@OshawaStateOfMind]

@@melanin_king lol if you actually played poker you would know about pot odds and for that price it’s hard to lay down even if you know your opponent isn’t gonna have many bluffs

You always crack me up Brad. I enjoyed this one as always. I was also watching the WPT with you, Doyle, the two Phil's and the girl that looks like a mean Jennifer Lawrence (that was suppose to make you laugh.) Your poker channel is the best and that is no joke. Cheers to a great 2023.

[@appayne595]

Lots of run well wishes Brad. I don't play at all but I LOVE your cadence and humor, so I watch.

Always a pleasure to watch Brad, keep it rolling! Awesome to see your rise over the past 3 years 👏

[@leehjones]

Happy New Year, Brad and may 2023 be even better. The AK hand with the old man: 1. There was $535 in the pot on the river. You said you were going to bet until you got raised, and that was *exactly* what you should have done. Bet $150. That could get you a crying call from KJ or even AQ. And if that fellow raises you, even a min-click, you snap-fold. 2. Loved the "Old Man and the Sea" reference. If that means that I am, by definition, an old man, then, well, if the shoe fits...

[@willisisawesome]

Love it. Awesome vlog and Spraggy is great.
