The Most INSANE Hands I've Ever Played! MASSIVE POTS! HUGE All Ins!! Must See! Poker Vlog Ep 231

This is why you have my respect. You show the good, bad and the ugly when it comes to playing poker. Win or lose, we're still here with you Brad! Hopefully you're back in the Win column next time out lol.

Brutal loss, I felt the pain when each bad beat came down. I'm not glad to see it, but I have to tell you this really humanizes you to the rest of us who are out there getting wrecked ourselves. Keep it coming Brad, love the content. Good, bad and ugly.

There weren’t many bad beats

[@Moneyovertruth]

"K3 is a stuck man's aces" Brad always has excellent commentary, but this has to be one of his best lines ever LOL

[@tomstryker1005]

Damn....you looked so drained both physically and spiritually. But you know what, this is why you are the best. Anyone can show VLOGs of big wins and small losses, but you are as real as it gets showing the best to worst days. My best takeaways from this is/ was your commentary. My favorite line was "My terrible day even terribler". We need to make that merchandise. 🤣. All joking aside, bottom line you can't beat luck. The set over set was a saving grace from another ripped loss. And one thing I've learned that KKs are literally the biggest Ace magnets ever. It's insane. I don't know if you have seen Lex O Poker's session with his little brother but he made the coolest shout out to you so definitely go check that out. It will lift your spirits. I can't wait to see you play in the WPT Championship. I'm super excited especially seeing how deep you've gotten in high main events (10k buy in +). Keep up the big push and that 30k will be a distant memory.

[@philcummings9525]

its a vlog not a blog ....

[@conanthecribber]

There's simply no difference losing 500 dollars in a 2/5 game and 20000+ in a huge game, except for scale. The size of game multiplies the upswings and downswings. It doesn't matter, it's part of the game. Your attitude in the video is commendable. And Doug calling out "you lost the stand up" was pure gold.

[@aaron6806]

Agreed, especially about Polk. Reminds me of a story I heard of a couple buddies/roommates playing together, and one got busted and was leaving. His buddy called out "hey! You forgot something" and tossed him the rubber band that had been around his cash. There's something brutal and yet uplifting about that story. This game isn't for the faint of heart.

[@bradclifford3525]

There's a huge difference. Losing one 100bb buy-in is not the same as losing multiple buyins, deepstacked.

[@conanthecribber]

@@bradclifford3525 That is true, but was not the comparison I made.

[@craigcoady8334]

Doug's "Brad ! Brad! You lost the stand up game!" as a dejected Brad is vlogging his tilt while walking away from his worst session ever may be the most epic needle of all time.

[@onaliseth]

savage as fuck haha

[@theodorehsu5023]

One extra IOU had to be noted for Brad's night :P By then Brad was in too much pain he didn't notice :P

It’s bound to become a meme sooner or later…

[@brandonpreston7856]

I’ve really enjoyed watching your growth over the last several years. You’ve gone meteoric these last few years so I know you can shake off losses like this and focus on the future wins. Thanks for showing that the pros even have bad days man, helps us little guys keep going!

I’ve never played higher than 2/5 but I’ve had sessions that felt like this. I feel like you had such a positive energy the entire time instead of taking it out on yourself, your table mates, and your fans you gave us the best of you and it’s absolutely incredible to see. I’m a huge fan and I enjoy watching every episode… really wanted you to win this one.

[@T_dollasign]

I've binge watched 90% of your videos so far. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Motivation thanks

[@Iberium]

You're still winning over 100k after a 30k loss in 2022, by faaaar your best year yet. I've been watching for years now since you were playing low stakes and it's been incredible. The growth you've gone through as a poker player can't be anything but commendable. Keep your head up and get back that 30k!

[@livingthefantasy364]

Doug yelling your name at the end had me dying. Freaking stand-up game.

[@fullsamadhi]

Brad, your humility, transparency, and honesty is so refreshing! Thank you for sharing!

[@BradOwenPoker]

Thank you man, these losing videos tend to be the ones that I'm most proud of

[@thealchemist5182]

Man, that was brutal. I’ve had similar sessions and it’s hard to recover psychologically but it’s part of poker. Cheers man and keep em coming!

[@MCSkizzleman]

Bro, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I just have to say that unless you’re hiding some key hands (which I don’t think you are) you DID NOT play poorly. That was some of this sickest run bad I’ve ever seen. And I’m including Negreanu’s epic High Stakes run bad. You are one of my favorite players and easily the best poker vlogger there is sir. I know it’s easier said than done but don’t question your skill for a second. You’re top shelf, that’s all there is to it.

Losing is a part of poker, people shouldn't play let alone try and get better from the course if seeing you lose like this discourages them. You got me into poker in '17 and you, along with Rampaage and others, have been my inspiration to better myself in the game and compete at higher levels and I cant wait to compete with you guys in some million dollar tourney or in a cash game. Soon real soon.. Keep up the good work bro

At least you have the ability to try and recover and enjoy what you are doing in your life. Slight undertone that you are running good not only in the poker table but at life. Even if you don't read this, all the best. I'm sure your fans will be cheering you on and your friends and family as well.

[@drewbecker3512]

I know you read all posts from your subscribers Brad…….your first intuition of taking a nap was the best one. I did the same once and it costed me 7,500. I ALWAYS nap before I play when I fly in somewhere. Not a guideline, this now my RULE. Love the vlog.

Brutal man, nothing can take the wind out of your sails quicker then getting burned on the next best hand multiple times in a row. Really surprised you didn’t walk away earlier but it is what it is. Momma said they’ll be days like this. Good to hear you were able to turn it around and recoup.

[@Ashfold_Eberesche]

I actually flinched when that A came on the flop in the KK hand.

[@TheWilbz]

The loss videos are as important as the wins Brad. Not only will you learn more about yourself as a person and a player, it's important for us as your audience to know the reality of the stakes you are playing with - and that even with all of your experience you can still have bad days. That said, I hope you don't have one of these sessions again for a very long time.

[@troynickels9933]

Brutal, man. But honestly you have been killing it and i'm glad you kept it in perspective in the end. Just keep rolling.

[@moaf2padventures757]

do you think maybe you were winners tilting that session? youve been running so hot and all your moves have worked over the last few months that maybe subconsciously you think itll continue. and youre more likely to call off or bluff it off bc you believe itll go well. just a thought. thanks for all the great content!

[@ned7919]

That's a brutal run,unbelievable situations,but heads up!You can easily bounce back! Great player :)

[@ghettoracer]

Losses are fails are part of life. The most important parts is to learn from our mistakes and try not to repeat them. Thanks for sharing!! You're a cool dude Brad. Right out of the gate your AK vs. Ten Ten that was a terrible bluff. Ha ha ha... No wonder you had a losing session...

[@BradOwenPoker]

I actually don't mind the bluff too much. In my mind, worst case scenario was that I was up against TT-QQ. I ran into the worst case scenario, almost got the bluff through, then got called and still had 28% equity.

"K3 is a stuck man's aces" 😆 🤣 got me good

You do realize he just took 4 in the StormX invitational for over 50k right? I dont think he's all about getting it back from youtube as much as he enjoys making content and sharing his experience and thoughts to help promote the game and get other interested, when I first started watching Brad I didn't even play poker now I play atleast once or twice a week all becuse of his videos.

[@LorneMFade]

AK airball shove was poor. A2 shove was pretty bad. JJ you can get away from with the Q on the turn. Even the QJ flush when u get 3bet raised on the river you can find a fold. I think youve run bad but also played poorly this session. You're better than this Brad. Tough day at the office but you'll bounce back~

[@andrewgray7079]

One of the best episodes yet. Keep up the great work Bradley

[@btson6134]

Hey Brad you took this very well and are a role model to many. I hesitate to say this next part for many reasons but if I may offer a piece of advice when it comes to being "in the moment". when you run bad it is essential to not let negative emotions envelope you. Doubt is powerful. this is why "when it rains it pours" is a common saying, if you catch my drift. it's difficult to explain and more so to understand, but this will become widely known in our world within the next 2 years. it is not science fiction. simple as I can put it is this- you cannot *worry* about outcomes when you are in this vibrational state (where things are already going "bad"). if you worry about outcomes in this vibrational state, the outcome you worry for will manifest. this will soon be known as science fact, not fiction.

Hey bro, long time watcher, yet first time to comment. I’ve seen that stream live just after having a similar game to yours the day before. Seeing this now with your comments makes it so relatable. As you i kept getting bad beats and tripled my worst loss. Obviously that came with thoughts of quitting but your videos and watching you handle this kind of loss and others before keeps me faithful that i can actually get through this slump.. hope you’ll get back on the horse of rungood. The scales will balance us both back. Much love bro, peace and gl ☘️

[@deadmansgulf911]

You played well at the end. There wasn’t any bad moves. Just a horrific run. I know you got it back a week later at least.

[@PokerDisaster]

I have been working really hard to add 4 bet bluffs into my game. They work great until they don’t. I feel like a real poker player when I see you run your hand into monsters like the rest of us. That magic feeling that you can take it down isn’t always so magical after all. So easy to see monsters under the bed for the rest of those sessions. I have always loved watching your stream, but the fact that you took us through this whole painful road just seals your place as the best of them all. Can’t believe how hard it must have been to have to dissect all of this bad spots!

[@hymnofashes]

When you aren't getting anything for a session or during multiple sessions, your brain starts to adjust and think "this is the best hand/spot I've gotten in X amount of time, so I have to defend/push/bluff this" when actually, the only real decision you've been presented with is lose some or lose more. If you're in this frame of mind and a player who doesn't bluff much decides to put it in, and you have some pretty-but-not-premium holding like top two pair, you will probably pay them off. There's also a dynamic where you gaslight yourself into thinking "how can they always have it" and you feel like, on some level, a 30k loss where you know you didn't get bluffed is not as bad as a 24k loss where you might have gotten bluffed at the end. When incremental losses start to feel small compared to the total loss, you're in trouble and you'll call out of curiosity or defiance. Even if the $6000 was "a lot" of money when you started the session. Of course it doesn't matter what a lot of money is to you or what happened last hand or last session, except in your head, which wants to jam events into a narrative, or a "feeling" in the "air." In reality, smart players (and this is a group of smart players) will adjust to people who are stuck/tilted/in pain by bluffing them less and calling them down lighter. So, if you are on tilt, you need to do the exact things you *don't* want to do: give up with bluffs and lose to third pairs, shove light for thin value hoping to get looked up by bluff-catchers, and fold all of your own bluff catchers facing aggression. If your villain is oblivious and bluffs too much to start with, yes, you can continue to call him down as normal. But be aware he may back off after you've lost a few buy-ins. What we're all afraid of and feeling like is happening is that normally tight opponents are going to start OVER bluffing us because we're "weak" when in actuality, no one is doing this, because it's counterintuitive, it's stupid (tilted players like to call) and that player would also have to start doing things like turning marginal made hands into bluffs, floating garbage to bluff you with later, auto-raising or auto-betting certain lines, and he would have to do this *in response* to you losing. Most players don't know how to widen their bluffing ranges in this way at all! Let alone "pick on" a tilted player. The way they will pick on you, if that is their intention, is to make BIG, unbalanced, FAST bets, often in lines that don't make sense, but they still somehow have value. So exploit them by folding to these bets.

[@lucashafford]

Oooooo Brad. What a cliffhanger. Nice tease haha
