Getting 200bb in pre flop with 88 might not be GTO but I know it's in the bible somewhere. Something about a story about a guy who caught an abundance of fish. Let us feast.

Bit of advice to anyone reading this...When there's 5 callers and you have AK..its pretty much a given some players are calling with pocket pairs and the other players have Aces or Kings...making AK much weaker then you think it is

[@81carrerasc]

Yep, same thoughts exactly

[@thecounterattack007]

I love the old Phil Hellmuth saying "AK and AQ are medium hands, overplayed by players" which if you think about it, its true

But but your blocking aa and kk says the person who is about to get stacked

[@linebackerspreader2176]

this is so unbelievably ridiculous

[@lukespalding1964]

I mean when theres a raise and 4 calls are you advocating just calling ak?? Surely we 3 bet and get through the first guy we should win a lot

[@Illiadofmalorne]

I don't blame you for the AK fold. It screamed queens. Other than the 88 punt (where they really only have 9s or better) seemed like good play.

[@Bradydog-in7ut]

[@lukasmerkel9644]

Of course A,5 suited works well as a 4bet bluff. Nothing wrong with his play in this hand. 8,8 on the other hand was propably the most stupid play of the last vlogs. Would have been such an easy fold 😂

[@mikeratkiewicz6720]

@lukasmerkel9644 It does work very well as a bluff, just not in this situation imo. When you're seeing guys continously 3 betting and when showdown comes they have premium hands, a 4 bet bluff doesn't seem like a good table read to me. Totally agree on the 88s.

9:22 - "aw man, that is a bad play by me" - the results of the hand don't change whether or not your decision making was correct. Bluffing with the ace of clubs here doesn't seem great, bluff your 98s and your baby clubs and that's enough. Nh imo!

Punt Daddy at it again

[@XtremiTeez]

Yo, Ethan. It's Tom from Springfield, from the cruise. Here's why you shove that AK on that last hand: the best he could have is trip jacks, which you could still run down with draws to the nut flush or the nut straight. But, you were correct to reason that he shouldn't be so aggressive with top set on such a disconnected board, so maybe trip 6s or 4s, still unlikely with the big bet. AJ? Maybe. But the biggest reason for you to shove is that he only has 25K, behind.

[@SkitzWazMN]

You’re a sexy bastard! Great analyzing dude

[@keyboardmanyoutube3189]

I agree. He still has outs even VS AJ…..Opponent would not bet this much with sets…. The best he could have is AJ… but even AJ would not raise this much… should’ve shove it all in

[@alibabahappylad]

Poker is so easy to play when you can see the cards😅 you are drawing almost dead against set and better cases you are flipping with your opponent (most of the bluff is coming from gutters), I don’t think it’s a shove AT ALL

[@joeiborowski9763]

Have you ever been in a position like this with a tight player playing for 4 figure pots? If not, you will fold too, easy game when you can see the cards especially if you are in a downswing like Rampage. He was down 1m a few months ago, that affects your play. As Phil Ivy once said; " If you are running good, you play good and if you run bad, you play bad. From my own experience, that is true.

[@joeiborowski9763]

@@keyboardmanyoutube3189 Even if you think the the opponent has AJ, he is drawing to a 3 outer and a runner, runner flush which makes shoving asinine. And even if you think he has a 3 or 8 , you would think he could have an ace too and you will be drawing thin also. I would had put him on a decent pocket pair and folded with him knowing that I bluff a lot. I call this wannabe youtube poker. Easy game when you can see the hole cards and have no money at stake. Everyone thinks they can win the WSOP if they have never played often and long to see the variance in this game and remember the times they lost big with stupid shoves. This isn't a low buy in tourney, this is real money, and 38k is still a lot of money even for Rampage especially when he is still down 700k.

[@mattlee1071]

Ethan I think you do a really good job of trusting reads as the hands develop over multiple streets and you're calling vs folding. What you really lack is discipline punting when you're the aggressor, almost as if you just throw complete caution into the wind. That A5 and 88 hand you could have lost $6k vs $20k by just playing a little less aggro. Those types of hands determine winning vs losing years. You can't just bank on $450k pots to save your career. The goff KZbin space is very saturated so I'd really not like you to go broke lol

[@slowery43]

#1- NEVER play online at any stakes #2 - never think that any strategies, luck, successes, etc will transfer toa a real cash game in a casino it will not.. you are delusional if yuo think otherwise #3 - never play $1/1 or $1/2 unless buy-ins are greater than $250 as the rake will average more that your profits... it is a negative equity game #4 - you can learn by reading quality poker books and seeking a solid poker mentor OR you can lose a lot of money constantly before you sort of wake up and realize you have no plan #5 - momeny management is everything! Even pros like Eric Lindgrin, Chino Rheem, and Dwan busted losing all their nbankroll and skated on money owed to others #6 - NEVER EVER loan money to any poker players anytime for any reason especially if they are friends

How does one go from taking 4 or 5 months to get back $10k to having the bankroll for $50-100 and doing a $1M bankroll challenge two years later?

He just started playing higher stakes. I started watchin when he was still playing 2/5 and now he plays livestream games and huge tournaments where he sells action.
