Agreed

I said this when he started vlogging. Love his analysis. Has a very personally motivated tone.

[@jameygilligan2124]

Agree

[@jamesveit1084]

Been watching for a few months now and you have flown up my favorite poker vlogger list to #1! Keep up the great playing and hand recaps, can’t wait to see you blow up! Great series

[@BluffaloSam]

Thank you so much fella :) lots more to come!

[@nickjacob1232]

Been following since vlog 2 or 3 looking for realistic 1/3 2/5 grinders. Have to say you freaking killing it man.

[@BluffaloSam]

Appreciate it man! The 5/10 vlogs are gonna start coming in, once I find the games for it!

[@geraldinepeckham3667]

I actually learn from your commentary, this is not entertainment...one of the very few, if not the only vlog out there that has consistent sound analysis. I love the way you play. Good luck at the Lodge. As for player ability you will more than likely be the best player there.

[@BluffaloSam]

Until I get there and Doug Polk sits to my left 😂 Appreciate the feedback fella!

[@jordansossong8463]

All fun and games until Doug Polk takes a seat on your direct left.

[@Sportshooligan713]

Congrats man! Been following for a few months and you’re bankroll has come a long way in a short time. You are my favorite current blogger by a mile. If you come through Orlando I’d love to buy you a celebratory drink. Gonna hit 100k in no time.

[@BluffaloSam]

Thanks fella! Dunno when I'll be in Orlando, but it'll be on the vlog if I do!

[@jonathanr781]

@@BluffaloSam yea you should come to Florida to play sometime I play at Hardrock Tampa and in Hollywood Fl Best Bet in Jacksonville and Harrahs in Pompano Beach great action!

[@JohnnySasser]

Fuck yeah dude, amazing session! Looking forward to the live stream.

[@BUFF4LOSOLDIER]

Goddamn. Opening hand is just nuts. What a session. Wp dude, you're a madman 🤘🤘🤘

[@BluffaloSam]

When moving up in stakes, immediately attempt to punt off a buyin 😂

[@BUFF4LOSOLDIER]

Lol!

[@YesItsNate]

Loved the Ad2d hand - really feel like villain narrowed his range with his oop betting to JJ-KK and left himself nowhere to go on river but to shove… into your trips 😊 excellent job letting him hang himself and extracting max value 🤟

[@gavinstrelitz1558]

Crushing. Can’t wait to see you on the stream

[@timothygoldsmith6112]

Well done Sam! Keep going mate. Good luck at the lodge. You’ll be hangin on HCL in no time ;)

Good job sir, you’re half way there. The lodge live stream will be big day for you, I hope you clean house .

[@BluffaloSam]

Me too, thanks fella :)

[@benc1975]

Congrats on a very good session! As you know can never get that kind of action at a 5-10 at the Villa which is why go south, keep it up. See you in the streets again someday!

[@BluffaloSam]

Absolutely!

[@tommyallen5761]

No better feeling than running hot while taking a shot

[@BluffaloSam]

Wait until you try sex!

[@NeiltheDeal]

Good job, bro

[@TheQwe12370]

You played well this session I enjoyed watching you the whole time. I was just smiling seeing the growth in front of my eyes. I’m definitely learning a lot from just watching you.

[@BluffaloSam]

Thanks a ton fella :) appreciate it!

[@Rob.777]

LFG Sammy!

[@robmckrill3134]

Fcuking A I gave you a 👍. Great session and Damn you make poker look easy.

[@andreuferragutlluch764]

Normally don’t comment but this is the best poker youtuber! Quality content and great consistency! Just hope you don’t get to 100k to quickly so I can keep enjoying the episodes

[@BluffaloSam]

Thank you so much! Don't worry, there will be more content post 100k :)

[@ericdoheny9108]

I’ve gone to the casino with $100 and ran it up on two occasions, most recently to a high of $6,800- in about a month, playing 1-3. A lot of game selection and personal discipline. My FIRST buy in was only 33bb’s, and I got it in on a low-card flop with the nut flush draw. I bricked the flush but it went runner runner for a straight chop and I said “wow, I ONLY have $100 in cash to play- that was the LUCKIEST chop I’ve EVER had!”

[@BluffaloSam]

The gamble is real! Hahaha

[@NathanZ66]

Beast!

[@Peaches-lr9iz]

LFFGGGG SAM

[@dok599]

Congrats on the huge dub. Point of feedback - a few times said villain showed their hand at showdown but you didn't put it on the graphics... would love to see that in the future

[@BluffaloSam]

Musta missed a few on the gfx! Sometimes it's just when they say they had x I don't really wanna put it in just incase they're lying

[@BurpeeBurpo]

Congrats on the 5 figure day. Takes a little pressure off the Lodge stream.

[@BluffaloSam]

It really really does, I'm looking forward to it!

[@hazardousmhmc8270]

HUGEEEE

[@grimaceburgers4491]

Very nice play. The only hand I question is the K8 of spades. I’m not sure what you are getting value from in that spot.

[@BluffaloSam]

Yeah, I think that one was too thin. Vs a rec I really like it, but a solid reg definitely not.

[@trellw21]

Nice win, you'll for sure hit 100k, halfway there! This is one of the best vlogs out right now

[@BluffaloSam]

Thanks a lot fella :)

[@c-dub7706]

Throw some FUCKING likes for that!!! Way ahead of you bro!! Nice session!!! Love the vlogs!!

[@BluffaloSam]

Love it fella, thank you!!

[@rafielle7023]

You making a killing in TX bro I love playing cards out there even though sometimes you never know where you stand lol because those players are wild. Try playing at Rounders in San Antonio real chill place. Great videos bro keep them coming.

[@rafielle7023]

✊🏾👍🏾💯

[@BluffaloSam]

Gonna check out San Antonio and Houston! Thanks fella :)

[@andysacks1703]

You’re one of my favs. Watching you move up in stakes and betting style has been a huge learning experience for me. I think you are totally loving Texas poker. I hope to catch you at The Lodge. How many days are you planning to visit Austin.

[@BluffaloSam]

Thank you so much Andy! Gonna be there for quite a while, hoping to jump into some livestreams, and also get some 2/5 and 5/10 games going on friday/Saturday nights

[@samuel-sd2tp]

for the flush at 5:15, wouldn’t 97cx be the nuts, not your flush? and i’m wondering if shoving for 3x the pot is an overplay since betting $1k still would be a big bet

[@BluffaloSam]

Always all in! It is no-limit after all.

[@Jean-dr5yy]

With your KK hand at 15:20. The turn looks more like a Qh than a Td no ? Thank you Sam

[@BluffaloSam]

I misremember the boards sometimes, it may have been a Q.

[@ishaanjakhar7541]

Love the series. I was wondering if it’s possible to tell or show us what the opponent had when you do know it from showdown.

[@BluffaloSam]

If I do see my opponent's hand ill include it in the video, sometimes I do miss it though

[@ishaanjakhar7541]

no worries thanks for the content!@@BluffaloSam

[@dongin1993]

Love the contents! What do you use for editing??

[@BluffaloSam]

Davinci Resolve

[@speakstruth7735]

Going through your whole series, it's pretty inspiring! I'm starting this weekend with paycheck money simply hoping to grind up a $10k roll. I'm already subbed to Crush Live Poker & read The Mental Game of Poker plus some others from Ed Miller. What would you recommend for studying if I was going to take on the same challenge?

[@BluffaloSam]

Good luck man, you're on the tight track with everything you have. Just make sure to actually use it!

[@TehGutterRats]

gg

[@emergencyfish]

Hi Sam - do you try to manage your image or represent the hyper-aggro, all the time?

[@BluffaloSam]

My image is not a concern of mine, I just play my hands, and my opponent's can think what they want.

[@AlphaH-b6v]

Hi Sam, congratulations! Love the video. Is this the Texas Card House in Dallas? Do these big games run a lot? Seems like pretty good action. I think you can achieve very good hourly if just keep doing solid in these 10/20 games! Any recreational players in these games? Thanks!

[@BluffaloSam]

This is the Las Colinas location. 5/10 doesn't run often, usually 10/25+ so I'm just playing 2/5 and occasionally 5/10 when it runs. Good mix of players

[@Nick-th9qy]

Why is quarter pot bad with AQc there? He can start folding 8s through jacks (even qq that didnt 4 bet pre) to half pot plus. You also lose the minimum vs Ak. I do see merit in targetting worse Ax and potential flush draws tho...perhaps you make more long term targetting those ax and fd portions of the range vs pps...idk, Id like to hear more thoughts

[@BluffaloSam]

It's not a great board for us. Our betting freq is low, so our bet sizes go up.

[@Nick-th9qy]

@@BluffaloSam You have plenty of Ax, I wouldnt say its a great board, not a bad one tho

[@BluffaloSam]

@Nick-th9qy This is common thinking that A high boards = auto good for PF aggressor. However they're actually surprisingly high frequency checks, especially OOP. When the 2 cards are middling between 6 and 9, it makes it much worse for preflop aggressor, as most of our Ax is wheel Aces, and Broadway Aces. While IP is going to be calling all his A6-A9s as well, IP is going to have more sets than us. In terms of Ax boards, these are the worst for us.

[@dfc50]

LFG. do you know when you will be on the Lodge livestream?

[@BluffaloSam]

Dec 14th 12pm PST

[@tedrogers5782]

You heading to Florida on your travels?

[@BluffaloSam]

Sure am! I think mid-late January, Seminole hardrock/BB Jacksonville

[@RyanAlexander-sp2si]

First🤘🏽

[@BluffaloSam]

Can't believe you got it, the people are slacking!

[@afroyo]

what did Opp have against A2 and TT?

[@BluffaloSam]

Most likely overpairs

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

Great session Sam! Congrats on the big win! Love the bluff with the 57h, like you said it puts the vast majority of his range in such a rough spot. What beautiful runouts on those A2, 1010 and 88 hands, well played on them all, out of curiosity did the opponent reveal their hand in either of the first 2 hands? Also completely agree about not loving straddles when it makes stacks relatively shallow. It’s so frustrating when someone at 2/5 insists on straddles when half the table is already under 100BB… Sorry I just have one suggestion on a hand, feel free to ignore! That AQc hand, I think in theory your logic is 100% sound on why you want to shove all your flushes and Acx hands here, and I think you ranged his hand strength pretty spot on as well. Having said that I think this is one of those exploitative spots where you just have to deviate and go smaller, the tight guy just isn’t going to call a shove on this board with AQ/AJ etc. So Imo I think this is a spot you should deviate from what this hand normally wants to do, you can still shove all your flushes and blockers in future hands in this exact spot with no harm being done. I know you always want to play your range perfectly, but exceptions can sometimes be made imo! Again congrats on the session and the overall success of your bankroll challenge

[@BluffaloSam]

Thank you so much! I'm gonna assume they had overpairs. The AQcc hand I really didn't think he would even call a 1/3 bet here very often. So I just decided to rip it in on the off chance he levels himself/somehow has a straight.

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

@@BluffaloSam fair enough, yea the first two hands the villain was the aggressor so I thought they might’ve showed but I’m sure you did the classy thing and fast rolled your hand

[@BluffaloSam]

@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781 Yeah, I never make my opponent show. I remember a reg after he called and I said "you're good." And he just said "I called." It didn't feel great, and the guy looked miserable, so I just try not to be like him

[@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781]

@@BluffaloSam yea for sure I always try to fast roll my hand as well if it’s clearly the nuts, or if they say “you’re good” unless I know it’s someone notorious for slow rolling or pulling angles, then I’ll make them show. It really irritates me when I see a reg do that to a rec (make them show) when they announce “you’re good, nothing, I was bluffing” etc. Sometimes ppl will show immediately after you call or show their “big hand that got cracked” so i thought maybe it was possible they had tabled their hand.

[@BluffaloSam]

@@richardsimmonsjuggernautof9781 Yeah, it's just good etiquette. Nah, people just folded quietly

[@SENSUI347]

FINALLY YOUR FACE IS IN A BETTER SPOT NOT BLOCKING THE ✋🏽'S

[@Nick-th9qy]

I think the overbet iwith Aqc is unwarrented....you say guy is a tight player, your thought prococess about his range being weak is right so id have just disregarded balance and bet like 220 here. He rarely has 4x or 9x here that will hero and there next to no chance hes calling that massive bet with one pair if hes tight as you described.

[@BluffaloSam]

I don't think he's calling any size bet here tbh. Maybe 1/3rd. I'd rather get a 10% chance for a massive overbet than a medium chance for a tiny bet.

[@SENSUI347]

CAREFUL WITH ONLY BETTING BIG WITH FLUSHES LIKE THAT AQ ON THE RIVER LIKE YOU SAID YOU WILL DO..

[@stonestare6487]

That A2 big boy pot, tell me this…When you were stacking those chips with a massive shot of adreanaline coursing through your body, was it better than sex in the moment? Lmao…Sam ready to see you in a stream in dallas live

[@BluffaloSam]

Lmao, thanks a lot! Unfortunately, no dallas streams coming up, but Lodge on Dec 14th!

[@stonestare6487]

Will have plenty of dabs n joints while watching you on the lodge, cheers

[@AmongUsAcademy]

You should either yourself or hire and editor to make some hands into super edited “KZbin Shorts”. Look at Wolfgang poker who now has 1mils subs more than other channels causes he’s “exploiting” KZbin shorts. Currently you’re around 4K subs, definitely could explode with shorts imo

[@BluffaloSam]

Yeah, but imo not worth the effort. The subs don't translate over to long form viewers, which is all I care about. You can see his avg views for long form are about 10x mine, yet he has 250x the amount of subs

[@MikePlaysCards]

I think he’s as good as Mariano

[@ok-kc9jj]

How do you run so good? What’s the secret? Lol

[@BluffaloSam]

Sell your soul

[@Legitbiatchhh]

Sam would you ever consider private training sessions ?

[@BluffaloSam]

Nah, reach out to someone that has structured lessons, and can properly help you go through solvers, with node locks on player pool tendencies

[@Sportshooligan713]

Also where did Mayday go? I miss his analyses and your responses

[@BluffaloSam]

He still comments sometimes!

[@MikePlaysCards]

Brother. I want to get in contact with you. I’ve nailed basic strategies of poker so far, however I’m only winning at a low rate. I’m really interested in receiving coaching, time permitting. I feel that you actually have a newer, more powerful strategy and I’m very interested in receiving insights if you are willing to offer.

[@BluffaloSam]

Hire someone that has a coaching program laid out, and is a good teacher. I really wouldn't be effective here, a lot of my plays are just "I've seen this line a hundred times, this bet size is weak, I can raise here with nothing."

[@MikePlaysCards]

@@BluffaloSam yeah. I guess I’m just very interested in adopting a “hyper aggressive” strategy, and other vloggers I have seen have not been able to successfully implement this. If u so start coaching, I’m first in line haha.

[@BluffaloSam]

@michaeleberhart8329 Hahaha deal! I do have an upcoming video where I review an entire session, that could be helpful!

[@DesignWorxTampa]

I’m happy for your results but try to keep it humble.

[@shaneWARs1]

How did that guy not raise your 150 with JK

[@BluffaloSam]

That's getting a bit thin with a straight, and a flush there vs a polarized sizing

[@shaneWARs1]

@BluffaloSam got just seemed like he should of

[@BluffaloSam]

@shaneWARs1 it's close, if I was a rec I'd say yeah, but what happens when he raises, and I 3bet him. Pretty unfun spot

[@user-qu8rh3ib4p]

dude is smurfing from 1k/2k don't be fooled

[@BluffaloSam]

LOL
