You have no problem bluffing with air, jamming with air. But when you have a piece of the board you tighten up.

When he calls that 12k jam, gotta think KQ is no good.

Jeez. I have no words for the level of play. Just wow. I’m sure they love him at this game

I find it interesting that you haven't much changed your style of play regardless of stakes or opponents. Narrowing your three-betting range is one example that comes to mind immediately, given the fact that your opponents are more experienced and have presumably researched your style of play. Respect the transparency and the story though. Certainly pretty real to see what overleverage actually looks like, and you might be doing some favors to others by showing the reality.

So here's the thing, if you don't spot the fish within the first half hour, you are are the fish.

Please can you cover their hole cards, pretty please

17:33 "The spade flush got here but it's not relevant." 17:57 "Not having the Ace of space is somewhat relevant." Gotta love it. This guy buys in for 100K. And some people say poker is dead lol.

Your analysis of the king queen Hand is comical, thanks for the laugh LOL

Takes balls to upload a vlog like this. Way to go rampage, keep it up.

Pride breaks every man. Lex O said the truest statement in his most recent vlog. He was playing a table that wasn’t good for him, as it was full of pros and he was the worst player at the table. So he got up and went to a table that catered more to his own edge. When you’re trying to pursue poker as a career or just a side hustle, there’s not much benefit to playing in these kind of games if you aren’t wealthy, skilled, staked, or any combination of all 3. Like really, what point does Mariano or Rampage have to prove in this game? Brad O sure isn’t trying to play in this game and I think he would survive better than Mariano and Rampage. I enjoy Rampage’s and Mariano’s content, but you can make plenty of content and money from players that don’t mind losing $500-1,000 a session drinking beers with you. That’s where the money is. With players that will tell you they had a good time losing money to you or with you. I’m a terrible poker player and I always want to be on a table of people having fun and losing money. I’ve played on tables where the entire table has more skill and/or money than myself. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience. I would absolutely be looking to play easier games where I can make less stressful money and have a good time. This session just didn’t seem fun. Constantly being put in tough positions for a lot of money.

Been watching you since you were making videos from your room. You've came a long way since 2019. So be proud if yourself. You and Mariano. Been watching you guys since 2019.

You ever thought about trying out for an NFL team?

I see that the best punter outside of the NFL is doing what comes naturally!

Always going to be tough for other players to respect your bluffs when your wearing a "Folding Is Boring" hoodie! 😂😂😂

Props to you and I hope you got better !! Thank you for uploading this and I wish you luck buddy

I’ve been watching these streams for awhile and have found out that nick is seriously one of the tightest players there are. Most recent stream he was 15% vpip and I would say about 60%+ of his hands had aces in them.

It seems to me his thought process for everything is to bluff or call. It all comes down to “I’m stuck this so I gotta keep bluffing”

When you're praying/hoping/wishing you are playing stakes that are way tooooo big for your bankroll

Kudos for having the courage to play this big, another KQ overplay. I'm very surprised you did little or no research on these players, there's a ton of material available to watch which would give you a lot of info on their styles of play.

I thought that KQ shove was horrible when I saw it on stream, but hearing your thoughts on the hand makes it so much worse.

"The session didn`t go as expected or planned." You got 1/2 true. The session went exactly as expected.

Some serious ramp punts here serious! You made Reza look good 😂😂

Been playing poker for many years and very refreshing to watch you play sir

Second video in and now I really like your channel bcuz ur not one of those players who only shows the wins. I can relate to this way more. Like to hear your insight on things and the refreshing takes.

I really need to get your schedule! I could retire in a year!

Saw the title and assumed the next vid was going to be a *Rebuilding the 100k punt*

Great content man good to see the ups and downs, but dont let it get you down. Super Brave to jump into those stakes!

I admire your courage...well done young man. Maybe you didn't win but you had the heart to step up.

curious about stack management and how you're able to make the jump in levels; are being staked?

I've been waiting for this vlog. I was watching live (as well as the live reaction video). It was high drama when Nick tanked with AQ. Could you hear me yelling "FOLD!" at my computer all the way over here on the East coast? Good luck on Punt Rebuild #2 - we are cheering for you.

Thank you for this it's encouraging, I've been on the super hot run I was at 13 out of 14 sessions winning an average of about 700 playing 1/2. Until yesterday I lost like all three of my buy-ins for the day. Usually I can turn it around by the second once or twice by the third buying which I have with me. May your pocket 2's ALWAYS connect with the flop

You inspire not only me but many other poker players!! Crazy as hell all balls Ethan!!

The jam convinced me I was behind but I was prized in and thought I had outs. I should of jammed in front of Rampage but i got lucky and it worked out $$$$

Much respect. No matter the stakes, you fully commit.

Shove when behind, fold when ahead! That's the Rampage way! Tough game, man! Some tough spots and tough decisions. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you! Nice bink on that straight. Too bad you couldn't get more out of it!

Keep it up man! I’ve been watching since the twin river days! Great vlogs!

Watching the play of the first hand reminds me of a saying I learned in MS..."They have more dollars than sense".

6 months from now.. ."It's your boy Ethan and we're here at the local disc golf course for another stream".

What a hand. This one made the KZfaq rounds and back. Great to hear your perceptive.

Damn man! Love it how you played your game and didn't let the stakes get to ya logic

It's such a roller coaster to see you improving in some sessions, and reverting to tilting and punting in other sessions. This was about as tilted as I've seen you play, right after beginning to think you'd learned some patience and self discipline. Really not sure what to make of it all, but it's starting to feel like the battle to become a poker player with an edge, rather than a degen seeking action, is getting pretty close to being lost. I hope you prove me wrong about that.

I was watching the steam, I was thinking Rampage gets away there with KQ when Nick calls. Then he jams...lol

I was in that exact same spot as rampage w KQ the other day. First to act ships w AJ bluff, I had top pair w QK of clubs. Only difference in my hand and rampages is when I shipped over top, the button folded pocket 10s, not a call with AQ.

You have balls of steel! Mad respect. I said hi to you during Crazy8s when you were with Matt Vaughan. Keep up the entertaining content!

I'm legit worried about Rampage.

“All of a sudden our value jam turned into a bluff” Paired board and flush draw and all-in with KQ is “value” betting against 2 opppents?

Oh baby!! I been waiting to hear you stumble over this video.

You the best Ethan - that's all I got, keep up the good work.

He binked some tourney at venetian recently for over 200k so I expect to see him back in a game like this soon to lose it all again

This round makes me feel a bit better about some of the bad calls I have made. Cuz wow.

Congrats on 100k subs. Also congrats on the 16th October 21 for winning another big tournament $260.000+.Well played bud

I respect how you jumped into this big stakes! Great work.

In the big hands, try looking at your opponent because you can get reads from them

When a guy re-raises you with pocket tens with A’s King on the board , if you can’t spot the fish you are the fish!

I had been supporting and watch your video. Since the start of your video. u had improve alot since the start. Well done and keep up the good work.

Bro, thanks so much for posting this video. I’m so impressed with how your game has evolved from when we hung out at the MGM Springfield MUG a couple years ago. You’re the most transparent vlogger out there.

What’s next rampage? Going back to the 5-10 grind? I think you needed to play less hands in better position when taking a shot like this.

Dude you are playing outside your skill level!

Love the videos, appreciate the heart. Just learn from mistakes. Cheers from Vancouver bc Canada

Poker is like golf; Costs a lot of money to learn a lesson! You’ll bounce back. That K9 play was really nice.

My boy Ethan, some are praising your courage and a lot of people are slamming some of your questionable plays/broll management. For what it's worth I wanna chime in: you've been sunrunning more or less since Day 1 on this vlog. The variance was bound to swing back eventually (well strictly speaking, no it wasn't, but you know what I mean). Maybe consider that you are facing a combination of playing over your head, a bit of a downswing on variance, and (most importantly) perhaps some "chickens coming home to roost" in terms of leaks you've always had getting exposed more lately once the deck stops bailing you out in high leverage spots (and you're also leveraging yourself with much higher stakes to boot). A good time for some self-reflection. I still think you're a clever dude with a big heart who will continue to improve. Rooting for you.

Put Ronnie’s hat on Reza and you’ve got Abe Vigoda as “Fish.”

You get to live out the life you want, that in itself is priceless man. People roasting you in the comments wish they could be doing what you’re doing.

Wow... this is indeed a big game. Impressive to see you playing there

Way ahead or way behind. Utter freakin genius

That KQ hand, holymoly what a punt... Better go back playing 1/2. You're far from being ready for these kind of games.

What a video. You and mariano and playing with the big dogs! Both got crushed but crazy crazy video.

As I always say, Rampage has a ton of entertaining value. 🤣👍

this kq hand is the easiest fold in history dude

What line were you repping with your bluff against Eli when a 3 came on the end? It was obviously heavy over-pair weighted until the river; straights, wheel aces trip up, no wonder Eli was suspicious, as your previous line turned from an over-pair to exactly 56 or a donkey 34

I thought when i first saw the KQ hand he knew exactly where he was and was trying to fold out Nick’s better hand (AQ+) when he flat calls 12k, and race HU vs Randall; which was so good, interesting hearing you actual thought process tho. UL man

You have to give Rampage props for buying into this game, taking the beating, and sharing it with us! He gave it a shot and it didn't go well, he's a young player... live and learn bud

After winning the big pot, Nick pretty much locked it up and folded whole stream.. that was a good play Ethan

This is the session. For once Randall wasn’t the worst player at the table.

Been following you since the first video and I can’t believe you made it this far! Insane to think you’re playing this high stakes now! Congrats brother keep up the hard work cause the grind is paying off

Lovely watch, blue dial YM 40. Classy!

I think it would be beneficial for you to come out with a vlog showing your bankroll growth and goals and such. Brad Owen did it last year and it was very beneficial for the transparency of his vlog

"The spade draw gets there but it isn't relevant. I don't have the ace of spades though which plays a part." What?

So close to 100K subs! Good luck Ethan!

I think everyone was waiting for this vlog. It's a rough one but you'll rebound. Keep that pinky up!

watching that first hand took a year off my life

Brutal honesty. Most of this table regularly plays the likes of Garrett Adelstein at high stakes. You're way out of your league. You and Mariano seemed to have gotten into a d**k measuring contest. Just be safe bro. Way too many players go broke because of bad bankroll management

The way you film/edit I can watch on my phone in horizontal and still read all the player info with none being cut off, unlike most, that's what I appreciates abouts you mr rampage. Quick edit- I'm 100% sure that the problem I have with others videos is an issue with my garbage phone not they're shooting/editing.

Haha! Can definitely tell you luck boxed your way into a big tourney win....I wish I was in the position to sit at your table for the next week, while you dust the rest off.

u2 raises, you 3 bet, he checks. see a flop coms out 10qq, whereas he may have a queen, what are his other likely holdings? all pocket pairs and broadways, sure there are queens in there, but there are also the KJs, those plus all the pocker pairs from 2's through 9s I'd say there are also a fair amount of combos you are ahead of and can get value from, especially in position. my gut is telling me you feel insecure out of position and over-play your hands, and in position you see too many monsters under the bed

Dude you aren't ready for a game this big!

From buying in for 500 in 1/3 to buying in for 100k. Unreal how fast you’re moving. Congrats brother

Usually when someone 3 bets out of position he is strong, especially wheb he snap calls everytime

You took a shot bro, more than I will ever play and mad respect on posting this! You learn and bounce back….cuz “you’re our boy, Ethan”

why did you think Nick played a wide range of hands?!

Scooping 2:25 means winning both runs, or it hi lo split pot games, both the hi and lo, double board pots too. Both halves of the pot. Getting scooped means losing both halves and winning zilch. scooping half the pot is a contradiction in terms.

Man your really close to a 100k follower. Congratulations

I really worry about your professional level in the cash porker game, most of the time, you couldn’t think straight. Don’t go beyond your capability of your bank roll management, it affects your decision in making a call. My best wishes and support! Remember, don’t drain yourself ! Good luck!

Reza looks ready to battle his nemesis, Perry the platypus.

Serious question... when playing these stakes are drinks comp'ed?

Bad luck! I hope to see a good WIN if not great WIN. Lots of good luck

Great content! Also I love how people who haven’t played over 5-10 (myself included) love giving advice on how to play. Let the man play

Man you're cray cray for taking that shot!! You looked outta place the entire time

Congratulations on the big tourney win today!!!!

Idk why … but I can’t stop watching Rampage’s vids.
