just fell upon your videos, i honestly really love that you include all the hands that you fold! Not many other vloggers do this. You also include some decent starting hands where you have to make tight folds. As a 1/2 player whos at the beginning of his journey this really helps a lot

As real as it gets! I liked this vlog. Unlike other poker vloggers, they only upload their winning sessions. Keep them coming! Good luck at the tables!!

I just found a video of yours yesterday. Six videos later, and this has become my favorite to watch. I've played poker for 20 years. I try to play live as often as possible, but once a month is all that is possible at the moment. But I have always wondered what it would be like to play poker for a living. Your videos do a wonderful job of showing the grind (at least from my experiences when I can play). I also enjoy your positivity, even through the brutal beats you've endured lately. All kudos to you, and it is a great bonus that making these videos is enjoyable to you. They definitely inspire me to give professional poker a go. I look forward to more videos, as I'm curious about away from the table things like eating/health regimens, what sort of perks you take advantage of given by casinos (and ones you stay away from possibly?), etc. Keep up the great work!

What I’m most impressed with is your cool demeanor and positive attitude. I struggle with my emotions when I’m running bad and then refuse to play for weeks at a time. The mental game is more important than the card game in my opinion.

Low stakes always has maniacs... gotta love it... just be patient and hope the tornado doesn't hit you...get your double ups!

Love the clip of you smiling after felting your opponent with a set of 3s! Good on whoever got you that shot.

Great video that shows the realistic side of lower stakes Live Games. Thanks for the content, keep it up!!

Great format for videos. Your short hand posts on Insta are fun to watch, but this style is waaaay more informative and educational for serious players trying to improve their game. Thanks!

Love the long videos of ups & downs. I want to start playing low stakes so thanks for making the content people need!

Very nice vlog we love this every hand format. And appreciate your editing.

First, I really love how you show each hand!! 2nd, really enjoy your vlog, last its crazy how ur KK runs into AA n lose... but ur AA runs into KK tht ends up winning🤦🏾... crazy frustrating.... keep ur head up... it will turn around sooner than u think💯

really like seeing all starting hands

Love the format. Looking forward to rest of the series.

Probably best poker vlog here! Keep good work bro, full support!

I appreciate the Content. I am currently transitioning from Online Micro stakes to 1-3 NL. I appreciate seeing just how disciplined you are with your Preflop Ranges.

Really like this kind of content. It is as thought I am sitting there myself going through it. Appreciate the effort.

This is what vlogging should be. I'm tired of seeing the shorts and just hands people want to show. Poker is a real challenge regardless of stakes, and seeing evey hand is what gives the real poker view. Keep these up , keep yourself up...and the cards will fall your way. Hoping one day we can play together at a 1/2 1/3 game. 😎

loving the fold hands

Being up $500 having KK and AA and both lose too bring the stack below buy-in right at the end of your session that's what you call max pain poker. Keep positive least you know you played well and the money will come back around in the long run.

Love this especially with all the hands. Subscribed last week definitely added to my viewing list. Very unique with all the hands well done .

Stay positive! really enjoying your videos! Keep it up!

“Pocket threes tend to flop sets more often” 😂😂😂 poker is alive and well

your blogs are great - really informative and real life - Nice one. Love the every hand view as it shows the reality of how much folding goes on

Happy to come across this vlog..no bull. Just a man trying to feed his family.

I really like the videos and especially the authenticity of seeing every hand (which I appreciate makes the videos a little longer). I also really like the updated win/loss count. The only thing I will say about the nails is that I think they can be distracting only because of the particular color and because it’s only one nail (so I think it jumps out more than if all your nails were colored). But you do you and keep it up.

I just found your videos this month......I'm glad you are playing at Jamul. I like playing tournaments at Jamul......Live at Sycuan.....

You played your hands very well. It’s just that luck was not on your side. Hoping a win for you in your next battle.

I love how you include the time of day.

Your results are so familiar, get ahead on the grinding mundane hands then lose big pots with hands when being ahead then river improves the villain. It always feels better to be on the right side of those swings?

I love this. Keep doing this if you can. Thank you!

I like your channel the most because you show ALL hands.The pretty, the bad, the ugly. Thank you for being genuine and not luring other new souls into a game with false advertising and false hopes and false expectations. Here, what you see is really what you get. Its also a relief that you take your losses in stride because your still on the learnint curve so yeah, you will lose alot of these games tor a while

13:00 How do you spot the "recreational" at a $1/3 with a $5 flop drop? 😅

Can you make a living playing 1/3? Yes. Depending on a number of variables. Should you make a living playing 1/3? No. Your winrate is going to be capped at a certain ceiling. One should be looking to move up in stakes as fast as possible while also learning and being aggressive with bankroll.

You might try cutting about half of your sc's from your opening range and seeing if your results improve. (It did for me.) Sc's don't make straights or flushes enough to play for value. They only have value as semi-bluffs in heads up situations which don't happen very often in 1/3. Save yourself the money and only play them sparingly in position in unraised pots. If the pot is raised preflop they have even less value in shallow stacked games. Ed Miller wrote an article on this subject in Card Player I think called 'How Suited Connectors are Losing you money."

Anyone else notice at 3 min mark, the guerrilla in the back at the other table, lmao, it's a dudes hat , thats crazy . Hahahahaaaa

Here is my pocket 3’s story that happened last month at Hustler 1/3. In 45min I got 3/3 4 times Set- got paid Set-got paid Set- got paid The fourth time I got them I let the older Asian guy sweat my cards- he had been watching me get paid with my sets. The flop comes out A,3,Q. The old man taps my leg under the table giggling. Turn blank, river 3 for quads. All in again and get paid. Pretty good for 1/3, left with a nice $600 win What a crazy run of cards!!

Great format - tough variances. Keep it up!

great vlog man keep it up i’m rooting for you ❤

Thank you re your 1/3 journey. I will be following cus I am too curious if one can make a living playing 1:3. GL to you

Brutal session. I know it's against all rules ... I try to protect my profits.

This is dope! Subscribed

Quick research, Jamul is capped at 300 which is okay. But the low buy-in of only $40 is bad. Will definitely hurt your hourly. Also not sure of rake but CA rake is usually high so that's going to eat at a lot of your profits.

Dang crazy u got aces against kings after it happening to you and u lose both hands!! WHAT!!! Feel for u bro! Really like the video tho and channel, keep going!!

Hi bro! I would love to see some archive of your post session administration throughout the time you have been playing, I love your content, good luck!

Do you think that the 77 hand probably should have peeled? There are 24 combos of hands that have you in really bad shape. Can you explain your thinking on this one?

Enjoyed the format of your vlog. Realize this is serious editing and time consuming. Found a couple of times on a suited 1 gapper you folded that I would have seen a flop. But your playing style as a solid TAG was fun to watch. Variance bites all of us. For $1-$3 you may be playing a tad too tight. Your play today fit $2-$5 or $5-$10. But against aggressive fish might consider slightly looser.

What a sesh! You were up $500 you gotta get up at take that profit

When u hit the $500 mark you should get up if your trying to play for a living! U stay if your a rec and doing it for fun. Emotional CONTROL

Great video. You played well but you had bad luck. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

i mean are you there to win money or are you there to see flops? 2:56 is an absolute torch preflop, just giving your money away. just setting yourself up to get set over set here. he opens 6bb utg and the rake is prob a 2.5/3bb cap. you want to take down pots preflop by playing 3b or fold when rake is this high

Hang in there man.

Multiway set mining is like the greatest play ever. Risk 1 to get 3 or more for at minimum one street is pretty good. Better to have middle set though. On the A34 board, idk about live players but online, OOP will check raise gut shots, made straights and sets there, possibly top pair. Also 3 and 4 bet as high equity steals, value and bluffs?

Run bad is a real thing. Is 4 betting KK the better play? Maybe gives you a better idea of what his range is? I think the 50 dollar bets seemed like straight value. JJ or QQ maybe bet once. Seemed like dude was just hoping to get called each time.

Those tables seems like nl2 on PokerStars 😂😂😂 so many recs, keep on like this, i almost totally agree with your plays❤ imho is totally possibile to make 1/3 for living, but you need to play 5/7 days at least and many hours. And your wr must be decent. Of course, if you move up in stakes it would be much easyer...if tables stars 😂 GL mate from Italy

Thank you for putting in so much effort for us viewers. You are spoiling us with great content. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love this format, keep it up!

Oh and I don’t give a “monkeys coconut”about the nail(s) 😃

Enjoy the showing of every hand .Thanks

why are the cards at the casino so warped and ugly? The casinos I play at would remove those decks so no one was marking

They are always stronger then you expect in 1-3 lol

To actual be profitable I think 2/5 in the minimum

Hey man, I just subscribed and like, I just started watching your blogs. I been playing 1-2 for awhile now (part time). I haven’t play 1-3 yet. I been doing pretty good with 1-2. My winnings is on green and half dozen loss. I say about 3-4 years. I played 2-5 couple times. I’m 1-1. My question is should I move up 2-5 and skip 1-3. I always start at $300. But, 2-5 I thinking about 500-$700. Can I get opinion. Thanks

Really like showing every hand. Thank you. Subscribed

Terrific show and approach, thank you. I liked and subscribed. I do think the pocket kings you could’ve saved yourself some money. You have an astute read on the player of being very strong with the reraise. So you could 4! to $100, and after he 5! it is a trivial fold with this player. Largely this can be called a cooler, but since you do such a good job of your read on the player, that’s potentially a way to save yourself $200 by not getting cute.

At 37:00 minutes, with your 4's full of 3's, shut it down there. Doubtful he would even call at $100 bet on a draw. Damn that river up !!

Great video on how you gotta grind them out

first off, belated congrats to you and your beloved on the arrival of your new baby girl 👶 you're gonna need that bankroll with 3 girls! (my uncle has 4!) ... question; playing for income, do you have a win percentage cutoff where you'd cash out earlier once hitting X times initial buy in? i.e, quadruple up cash out/bank it while ahead?

Yuck, tough way to lose on this session. I would have liked to see a raise on the turn against the AA hand. Maybe it ends up the exact same way but I think you’d have a better chance of getting away from KK depending on his call/raise action.

Thats just brutal

Great Vlog!

You: "My pocket 3's tend to hit sets pretty often." Me: That's not how any of this works.

You were up around $500, if you’re playing poker for living, goal was achieved and time to leave. Play for fun is different story 😊

watching here rom the Philippines!

I think I would have 4bet the KK or even try to raise after the flop. Then you would know if you are up against AA or Pocket 10. Based on what you are telling us about the player. Maybe also you could share hiw much is your effective stack?

keep it up

Good content and commentary, what's with the press-on nails?

200 was down way to fast bro gl bro

Nice vid

Great video!

Cbet small the KQo hand and you don’t have to worry about the 9 turn. Lol guys autofolding everything but Ax and flush draws. Worth a stab

I think 2/5 is minimum to eke out a living

JTs vs any 2 cards has 57% equity. so you're giving up 14$ in equity which is 5bb, that's a lot. not to mention the 12 (4bb you put in) and the 12 from LJ (4bb more). so you're basically giving up anywhere from 10-15bb by folding if he's jamming any 2. you can't do that. If he's jamming 43% of the time, your equity is roughly 46% and you're calling $88 to win $124. roughly 1.4 to 1 on call where break-even between fold/call is 41.66% so you're giving up roughly 4.5% of the pot of $124. there are spots where its close considering rake and how "off" you can be on reads. this is not one of those times. I'd re-jam this since LJ should not have a strong hand to call off with. I'd just call if we had a strong(er) hand though and hope LJ comes in.

Genuine question as I’m fairly new to playing live cash games but why don’t you just leave the table once you’re up a certain amount? Usually if I’m up over a buy in I try to get out, have a beer and go home. Granted I’m still trying to build my bankroll and move up in stakes so maybe I’m being overly protective of small gains and missing out on potentially huge gains but I feel like when I’ve tried to do that my stack just ends up dwindling and I end up leaving with significantly less than what I could have if I’d played it more safely.

out of curiosity doesn't poker beast play at this casino? he hasn't put up a vlog in over a year when he busted at the wsop in vegas was wondering if he is still playing poker?

Real Poker!

I don’t understand why the turn 3 is a bad barrel when you ISO an EP limp. 9833, you described it as one of the worst cards to fire again on. Despite ep declining your offer to chop pre I still view this as you have essentially 24 combos of over pairs that are now the nuts and his most likely nutted combo has gone from 3 combos to 1. None of unpaired floats pick up equity. Think if you really think about the spot and ranges it’s a spot to be all in by the river.

How do you find these blind all-in players? Wild!

You lost with AA to KK and lost to AA with KK 😢

You played the KK well, you just have to lose sometimes

Where do u play poker? What state ?

1-3 yesterday same hand then the dealer gave him all diamonds 😢

I like your blogs ! But remember you playing 1-3 you can’t never think of folding KK. If they have aces god bless them and play the man !

poker is better when you can read a player's image and betting manners.

Ill tell you from experience and coming from soemone who doesnt have any kids, married etc.. this isnt the way cause poker ain't all about getting the the right hand etc. You can lsoe your who bankroll in 1 hand. I played for a living for 15yrs abd made good money okaying 3-5 5-10 but ive lsot it all a few tines and theb sometimes making 10K or more a night. But good luck thou cause players lkke myelf nevwr wsited for AA and crushed that hand with 96 suited

Are you from Italy originally?

must be nice 3 sets in like 2 hours

Do you usually go to Jamul on weeknights?

Nice work

Dude no hate / no offense/ no another negative boomer comment. Because y have a big family maybe you should have a daily part time / full time job and do the poker as side job every night and weekends. I think it will be less stressful. I do the same with no family , maybe i miss some poker opportunities but at the end of the day i sleep in peace . Gl !

Cards got a life of its own....call me crazy but it's true..I jus retired from poker..,cux it's too brutal
