The MOST DARING & SAVAGE Play I've Ever Made! 3-Bet ALL IN On River! 2023 Stats! Poker Vlog EP 284

Brad is pure comedy with that ace king line 😂

[@batkhulegjargalsaikhan8497]

Brad is loco

[@trevorbyrd7356]

I think it's so cool to see a special need person attempt to play poker. Much love and support brad

@@trevorbyrd7356I can’t tell if this is sarcasm

[@PedroPereira-tr7gw]

“ I wouldn’t want to have AK off suit in under the gun plus one” *immediately next clip* “I have AK off suit in UTG+1” your humor is hilarious Brad 😂 great vlog I really enjoyed this one

[@jack.m017]

that was a super sick play, I think it works almost every time against a player who isn’t in the “call and go home” mentality. Even if it doesn’t work it is good for balance. Never be afraid to go for it when the time is right

[@linus5885]

I disagree, First of all, the player had great odds calling the raise. Secondly Brad having hearts and putting the big blind on hearts without high cards does not make a lot of sense. You don’t want to have hearts in your hand when u bluff this spot, you unblock the blockers. But Brad showed a lot of heart and that’s what I fuckkng love about him. Very entertaining.

[@mikesemianczuk]

It's a terrible play and he picked the worst person to bluff. You don't need to find crazy ways to punt off your stack while giving your opponent too good of odds to fold. You shouldn't bluff the guy on tilt who just got bluffed big.

[@scott102980]

@@linus5885who cares

[@pokerqAK47]

I’d get behind it if that player had more $ behind

[@subbed2xcal]

he didnt put the big blind on hearts, he just mentioned that as a possibility. he put him on a set, and repped AK or better very well throughout the hand.

[@whatmesage]

I'm so glad you show all this back end stuff for the realism... these swings are truly wild, and it's worth it for us to see this and know that it's not all binks and good times.

[@princeofpower8413]

Congrats Brad! I’ve always loved watching you over any other vlogger. Your insight is top notch and the humor is unrivaled. I wish you continued success in both life and poker. Having a son was my biggest “bink” of all time and I’m sure it will be for you as well. Maybe my son will be watching Henry’s vlogs in a few decades lol. Happy New Year!

[@timcarter817]

Watching you from the very beginning until now has been a journey that we got to take with you, and I think I speak for a lot of the long-time subscribers in saying thank you for not just allowing us to live vicariously through you, but also for always being so honest, compassionate, thoughtful and hilarious. You’re truly one of a kind and I guarantee your dad is looking down with a great big smile.

[@BradOwenPoker]

I really appreciate this comment. Thanks a lot Tim. Best of luck to you in the new year.

[@peterslattery2401]

Thanks Brad. It’s encouraging to see all of your hard work. For better or worse. It’s important for us to to see the variance in real life

[@roncunanan4184]

Can someone tell me if Brad Owen is mentally challenged? Serious question. He speaks in a monotone voice and has dry personality. Someone please explain how this regard plays poker for a living even though he is a losing lifetime.

[@harblife]

This is why you are one of the best poker vloggers on the scene right now. You show your good AND bad days, letting everyone know that even the best have their down swings. I am sure you will get your Brad Bucks back in the next session and wish you a successful 2024!

[@evanmaier9209]

Thanks for all the amazing poker content Brad. I’ve been on quite the vlog binge these past few weeks. I love going back and seeing vlogs from years ago and noticing small changes in your game as you’ve changed as well as vlog style. Happy new years

[@larrysfgfan1]

Great to see you ended up with a very successful year. I watched those Lodge streams in Feb and felt terrible for you. Glad to see you rebounded!

[@johnnycage8679]

Thanks!

[@fishgarage69]

Nar fr that bluff play was fun 😂😂. I thoroughly enjoyed this vid Brad. It is your job, but when you make ballsy plays it's always a good time. I appreciate you showing the mediocre hands as well. The most common hands are the most difficult to play so it was very insightful!

[@BradOwenPoker]

Haha I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of it. The losing sessions tend to be the most beneficial.

[@antoniodomingos8814]

Years go by but you keep being undoubtedly the best, funniest and most interesting poker vlogger out there. It's been lots of fun following your journey and I'm sure it will get even better :) congrats on your 2023 and all the best for 2024! ❤

Wow what a ride in 2023. Always makes me smile thinking about how it all started and watching the videos along the way. Thanks for all you're effort vlogging, its so enjoyable following along with every overbet and bluff!

11:05 surprised no one else in the comments mentioned this amazing joke, always appreciate your vids Brad

[@anthonykeller5120]

Getting caught in bluff once in great while is a good thing long term. Especially when the world gets to see it. A lot of people will try to get you in the future when you have the nuts. You lose a little now to gain more later. Have a great New Year.

[@thedarkgreenmarine2100]

You see that right there that A/K joke is why you're the best that actually made me laugh at work

[@nicktironi7677]

Brad, you should replay the first VLOG you did. You have come such a long way in a relatively short period of time. Congratulations on the success!

[@kylepatrickmccrary2781]

I'm curious what people think of raising the turn at 5:16. I feel like this would isolate the other player's range and provide pot control if you're beat on the river. Sure you have the chance of being re-raised, but I find that unlikely in this situation, esp given the read on this player. If I'm out of line with this thinking, I'd also love to understand why. Such a great vlog, Brad! Best of luck at all of your upcoming tables!

[@DavidR34647]

Hey Brad! I grew up in Round Rock, TX, so its crazy to see Round Rock on your T-shirt. I used to rent movies from the Blockbuster Video that used to be where the Lodge is now. Have you had the wonder that is Round Rock Donuts? I still live in North Austin, and I’m trying to build a bankroll and the courage to come to your next meetup game at the Lodge. Any idea when that will be, and any advice on building that bankroll in a state where online poker is banned? Cheers, Kevin

[@GBKingdom]

Happy New Year!

[@michaelwright4978]

Nice try, Brad! I thought you’d get a hand like that to fold for sure. I made a similar play with AsQd on a Q6510Q board with four spades. My opponent only had about $360 behind after I 3-bet shoved the river. The pot was probably close to $2.5k after my shove. I was the pre-flop aggressor and concluded he had flopped a set and rivered a full-house after he raised my river bet. So, I figured my flush was no good but I was blocking queens-full and quad queens. So, I went for the hail-Mary bluff that couldn’t possibly look like a bluff. He was a sharp player, so I figured he might talk himself into a fold even though he was getting like 7-to-1 odds on a call. He folded 6s-full and I showed the bluff to tilt him. 😂

Love the Wakefield reference, glad to see him getting some love

[@fungeneer]

Wow, cannot wait for the next videos after seeing those teaser clips in your outro!!! Something I always wonder, Brad (or anyone who's had this 1st world problem), is what do you do with all that cash after a win? Like, I've never seen a bank branch in a casino but is it possible to deposit that without having to walk down the strip with $100k in your bag? Can you request a cashier's check or something? Just curious

[@johnabbottphotography]

Daniel (yeah, that Daniel) just gave a year end review of his off year. The first point he made was about how after killing it the previous year, he thinks he was on a "winners tilt"; where you get cocky and bored. Bored veteran players have made more than a few amateur players wealthier.

[@admixer]

Hey Brad, fan from the beginning. Would love to play you locally, but I'm here in legal-poker-free, NYC. Hopefully you'll make it down to Philly, or AC at some point soon. Would love for you to do an episode or a short about tipping practices. I see you tossing chips to the dealer, and at the cage, and would love to know what your general tipping rules are.

[@BradOwenPoker]

Thanks a lot. Those places used to not allow filming, not sure what their policies look like now. I tend to tip on the higher side to show appreciation for the hard work that the poker room staff puts in. Most people tip $1 per hand and if they win a bigger-sized pot, they'll occasionally tip more. If I win big all ins for $1000+ I'll sometimes tip $5-$10+ depending on how large the pot is. Usually at the end of my sessions I tip the cashier everything I have under $10. I'm not necessarily the example to follow though; the staff doesn't expect that much from everyone. If you're playing 1/3 and cash out for $250, you should't feel obligated to tip $8 to cashier.

[@estilglea]

I appreciate you're honesty when things don't work out because of questionable play.

[@BradOwenPoker]

There's kind of a lot to address with this comment. I actually wrote out an answer explaining certain details of my financial situation, then decided against posting it.

Nice year Brad! Looks like you're doing well in the tournaments, which has helped out a lot. Do you feel like you're making more money doing the tournaments or cash games? Also, good to see you only had 2 months in the red and the rest were green. Solid year!

[@BradOwenPoker]

I made more money in tournaments this year but it was really skewed by one terrible week of high stakes in Austin. After that week I won $150k+ in cash games in much smaller stakes. I actually had a great year in cash if you look at % of sessions won and BB's won/hr. I also ran well in tournaments when I needed to for some very big buy-in events that those tournament results are skewed from doing well in high stakes.

[@saqob1779]

That 7/6 bluff definitely works if you snap all in on the river instead of asking “how much?” and tanking for a minute and a half. 100% he went off that read and not because he was pot committed
