Never stop uploading these videos

Sometimes we forget why we started playing poker ... the rush ... watching this video made me feel the rush you felt .. sometimes it gets boring watching , even playing the same stakes we always play... sick video , good luck

I love how he always tips, even when just leaving with his winnings. What a legend

Dude I love the intro and the excitement leading up to the game. Been watching for a couple years now getting back to your older videos still just as good 👍🏻

That's sick you bank rolled yourself at this stake. It's been amazing to watch your journey from the first vlog until this. Thaking a risk like this is never easy but proves you can do it. Keep up the amazing content and the grind.

I love your honesty in this video! It shows a lot of confidence to know when you're in too deep and also to show it on video.

Morning Brad I have followed you for a number of years. I am the father of 3 sons the younguest I lost last year thats another story, Can I just say your father was so proud of you and what you have achieved. He may not have agreed with your decisions and thats a fathers perogative " we are never wrong" We love our children and hope and pray we can keep them on the right path. Your Dad is the one person you always look up to and believe me physically he has left the world that we know., mentally he is with you every second, minute of every day always ask his advice and you will always make the correct decision thats the wayb Dads raise you. Willis Marrow.

when you know nothing about poker, can't understand anything he's saying, and you're under 18 but the videos are still interesting.

All the suspense at the intro. I feel like I'm watching an intro to Rounders! 😎 ALL ON THE LINE

What a great eye into your play at a big table. I appreciate being able to see from your vantage point. Very cool. Thank you!!

Great explanation on when it's time to leave the game and excellent insight with an over pair but laying down on a paired flop and player profile of the better!

"I get into a difficult spot with pocket jacks" Tell me about it!

Very good discipline Brad. Loved the vid. Hopefully you do more of these crazy 10/25 games!

"the dark suit I deserve, but not the one I need right now." love that quote!

Definitely like the honesty here...tired of hearing bloggers pretending they crush high stakes and dont get little nervous...

This video was a great look at some candid poker playing. Your editing and insight were both on point so you've just gotten a new subscriber for sure.

You can’t be all loosely goosey eating a sandwich

Great vlog and appreciate your honesty about your feelings of being underrolled for the game you were in. Well done

Love the content man, I've been playing for 7 years or so on and off and starting to come off on top, nice feeling your play helps so much, appreciate it!!

19:42 When my $103 tip becomes a $3 tip !! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

I think the best vlogs show personal growth, generosity, community (friends & family), suspense, imperfection and humility. Very well done.

Well played. It's never easy flopping the nuts... The board always pairs to make you sweat it out.

Good one Brad. On the last hand with TT I think it's a clear fold, especially given Villains's previous play. He has so many 9s, or even 44, and there's no point in calling here if you're not ready to put your whole stack at risk.

One of the best meta-game commentaries you have done in quite a while. It is one big reason why I enjoy your channel so much. Well done!

This might have been my favorite episode. I was feeling super anxious while watching it. It's nice to see you play different stakes.Keep up the grind!

Did anyone else feel anxious watching this?

So much respect for your TT hand. Not only you realized that folding was pretty bad but also you folded because you didn't feel comfortable with how big you were playing and if it wasn't enough you actually stood up and left the table and posted this vlog on youtube. You are very courageous and humble. I admire that because I think in your situation I would probably have too much pride to leave the table. Very humbling indeed. Subscribed.

For what its worth i actually like the shed progress videos. Its actually fun for me to watch it bc its not me actually doing the work. I got my shed almost completely finished yesterday & I had just did my 24×40 wood shop late last year so i feel your pain with the whole paneling and insulation bit. Keep the shed videos coming.

That was a really dope intro... haven’t watched the rest of the video yet but you’re doing good work Brad!

Probably one of the best vlogs I have watched, well done

Special thanks for ending the video with a hand (that owns me), and giving me permission to fold to a challenge and not get coolered. The force is strong on this planet.

Recently found this KZfaq channel and loving the videos, been watching some old videos. Good on you come so far over the years🎉

Brad when facing a $450 dollar bet *contemplates bluff reraising with 7 high like a boss Me when facing a $450 dollar bet *folds nuts

Best blog yet !!! sweated the whole way with you gives me inspiration well done sir

Glad I found this video, just a young kid 22 y/o from Hawaii but I love poker, my grandpa who passed away taught the whole family poker!! But I’m a millennial so I learn from KZfaq and know a few more moves then them haha!! but whether it’s drunk nights with the boys or a more serious cash game making endless amount of calculated decisions with your own money on the line the tension!! the anxiety!! of making a big all in play and winning big!!! Most I’ve ever won one night was in a 5/10 house cash game with family, friends of family and poker buddy’s , bought in $250 and won about $4,000 left about $300 to the house for the food and drinks and in Hawaii you always gotta take care da house haha ! Just like how he won 1003 and tipped the 3$ ! It’s the thought that counts lol but I can really appreciate the high level quality content of this video Brad Owen this is the perfect poker vlog!! Love how you post the stack sizes,bet sizes, the flop, turn etc and how you threw in the all in hand even tho you weren’t in it! I’m glad I found this channel keep up the good job man and I look forward to seeing you win and be successful and hopefully you can keep making this high quality videos!!! Just remember my friend, all you need is a chip and a chair!! Aloha from Hawaii 🌺

Seeing his commentary getting better over the time is what I’m here for

Very fun video. I think your cash out timing was fine. Those 10s could have easily been trouble. Pair that with feeling uneasy and maybe a little timid...time to leave the table. Shows good discipline. Will definitely check out more of your videos.

Me: You are making a run at, aren't you? Rolling up a stake and going to Vegas, am I right? Brad: Uhhhh....I am already in Vegas.

First time discovering your videos and I love your quick, methodical approach while also remaining humble and aware of your outs and temperance. When people tell me "poker is a game of luck" I am going to direct them to your videos. Keep up the great work!

I hated this blog when I first started playing poker, but now I love this blog. My biggest fear is facing Brad in a game. In my limited experience with poker, the biggest challenge is determining at which level people are playing poker. In purely recreational games people just think about what they have. In better games, people start to think about what their opponents have, at Brads level hand histories become a component and the exploitation potential become uncomfortable. Thank you Brad for your honesty and the light you shine on the game.

Wow!......just wow! Felt like being there.

First video I ever watched and see the TT fold LAWL.

I like the way you speak. Brief but straight to the point.

damn, brad. it's not just your poker game that's reaching new heights. your editing skills are getting really, really good. making your videos so much less boring, and so much more interesting/fun. nice!

Awesome ! Thanks for taking us along for that wild ride. Looking forward to watching "Higher Stakes" in the future .

"Today I'm going to be playing the highest I've ever played" -Now those are some goals

I worked security and surveillance at this casino and watching poker games was by far the best part of of my nights.

14:41 was the BEST... I literally said out loud "No WAY!" - another phenomenal vid

This kid has alligator blood! Great vlog, it felt it was my own money. 🙂

May have just stepped up to the rank of best vlogger. Exceptional video. Great honesty.

You just made me feel like a proud dad. Great job, son. Proud of ya.

Just met Brad and he is legit one of the nicest people I have ever met!!

rofl atrocious play with aces 13:08 Man first time watching your videos, it is amazing, great stuff

Great video Brad, definitely my favorite. I can appreciate and relate to where you were coming from in this video because I *just* sat in the biggest game I've ever played (5/10 uncapped) and found myself feeling exactly how you described you did in certain situations. I'm glad you hung on and were able to book a win for the first session at this level, it definitely helps with confidence. Really makes you think about every move when we sometimes take for granted or get too conformable at the stakes we normally play.

If you read this, I want you to know I’ve watched most of your videos and have learned a lot in the game.... thanks for posting 👍🏼

One of the best poker vids on KZfaq. Really conveyed the tension and excitement. I know the feeling of going to a game with stakes that make you nervous. If I could make one suggestion: maybe slow down a little with the commentary. Give us a chance to process what's going on. Other than that - excellent work, my friend.

"Scared money is dead money!"

Nice one brad! I like the pace of the vid^

I like the way he breaks the action down in a physcological level

The first leap into a game a game much higher than my normal. Did not end as well. A few cooler type hands that were so unbelievable I left scratching my head. I played these hands over and over wandering oh I could of played the hand differently. Was stacked with first buy-in. I flopped top full house opponents flopped quads. Rather than talking a break. I rebuy. Early into the rebuy a similar hand nearly felted me again. Headed straight to blackjack dusted off few more stacks. Checked out next day even tho I still had 3 days paid for with my room. Caught next flight out. Got most my loses back casino Arizona. I enjoy your channel Brad. Wish u continued success on the grind. Been following since 18k subscribers🤙👍

Great blog... I really enjoy your thinking through the hands, even when you know you're probably making a thin call. Just curious why you showed your hand at the beginning of the session when you led out $125 with air? What that to set something up for later or just saying to be friendly?? Also wondering if you ever change strategy if your at the table with people who watch your blog ( Not a meet-up where drink are flowing, just games like this).

This is interesting even though I have no clue what’s going on 😂😂

Your the best you tube poker channel by a long shot. IMO.

I watch/listen to these on my way to and from my first job and while delivering pizza. Excellent vlog very happy you upload these videos

Enjoyed watching, I watch all Andrew's videos and it took me a while to kinda warm up to your videos but really have enjoyed watching. I am just a recreational player just a one/two player but really enjoy the game. Wonder if you ever plan to go to any of the Oklahoma tournaments? For instance the Run Good series in Joplin, Downstream Casino or maybe Durant OK. Tuesday I am heading to Biloxi Mississippi with the wife and maybe play a little poker at the Beau Rivage. Thanks for the great video.

I give you the respect in the world for taking shots at higher stakes. I gotta start doing that for my vlog to get experience. CONGRATZ on the win!!

Brad ! Never “nervous”, “excited”, you’re excited. Trick your mind and remove nervous from your vocabulary

Great video as I enjoy my morning coffee. The last hand was real close decision. I think you made the right play. You laid it out perfect:1) He had just bet into a raiser when he flopped big 2) Lot of bad turns and rivs.3) You are playing above your means. He would have bet 2K on turn and allin on river. Would be crushing to lose everything at the end. Good luck.

A 10-25 game and it played just like a 1-2 NL game talent wise.

If your interested in being rolled at that level, let me know. I would be happy to see if we could work something out.

props to you for not calling with pair of 10s I always call with a good hand and not think a lot about the other player's possibilities and how aggressive they play. that's what makes you a better poker player

I really enjoy the way you explain the hands, highly realistic really clear!

“I’m playing the highest I ever had.” It’s funny because that could also mean weed.

19:36 A real Pro counting money !! 🤑

Thanks for making the videos. I live in NC where there is only one casino, bout 4 hours away, and no online poker. I had played for years online, before poker black friday, and although I'm just a rec player have won or cashed in most of the tournaments I enter. I must say though watching your videos and seeing the why of some or your play has made it so much easier to predict my opponents and be successful when I hit the casino to play. Super job my friend, keep up the good work!!! Hoping to make it out to Vegas again this year!!!

Seeing the hero folds and the way you played this game - would absolutely say you are ready to make the leap once your roll is comfortable. You had success here even with the thoughts of your BR kicking around in the back of your head. Nice job

Almost got a 103$ tip lol took that 100$ back quick!

I don’t find the TT fold that nitty. There’s a bazillion more 9s in a limp-call range, and Brad was up and didn’t want to give something away that late in a session he just rebounded $3k in. I’m doing the exact same and GTFO.

I love it when you tip the dealer and the workers, its nice

Firstly, congrats and good job. I tried a 2 5 recently and was delighted, not because I won lots but I was profitable. Sure I acted scared and didn't play perfect, but I felt like I could hold my own (actually thought I was better than 2/3 of them). I think some of your play was a bit nitty, but it's always much easier to play with other people's money... Honestly, I thought this was inspiring so ty and good job

Nice, didn't know you can record tables? Is it a hidden cam?

This is at Graton in Rohnert Park CA? I play there all the time

Your analysis, introspection and retrospection are pure gold! The production values are so damn slick. This is like private lessons without the risk! Thanks Brad, I learned a lot. Remember, there's no limit to how many young college guys with cash and no brains at the table you can run into!

Terrific analysis...First video of yours I've watched. Really good action and commentary.

You ran scared with pocket jacks there haha.

The fact you cant see brads teeth when he talks making him look look he forgot his dentures scares me

Good job. I've taken your strategy to the casino many times (start and stick to the story I am trying to tell with my bets) and I've been blessed with some of the biggest pots of my life. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

I think this was one of your best videos yet. Great insight and explanation and the hands cooperated to provide these situations. Nice work

For me, stepping up in stakes and taking a shot is a must do for all players....saying this before I watch *chews fingernails*

you folded jacks are you ok?

I’ve been watching for one year and I came back to this vid cuz I loved it 👍🏽

Could you do a video about how you manage money and things like health insurance. I have grown my bankroll allot but don’t wanna start playing full time cause of insurance for me and my son and things like that.

"I'm sure he's properly rolled" I'm sure he isn't lol

That pocket Jacks fold was horrendous 🤮

Hey man, I don't know poker much but I wish you the best! You seem to have quite a bit of confidence. That's great to see. Keep it up!

Love your videos! I’m kinda retired from gambling so this is my new fix. I miss it.

19:42 tipped the cashier $3... 🎭 savage.

Destrominated!!!!

I've been binge watching these, and this intro is my favorite. Super creative 😊

Nice, you kept it straight sir. Low/High stakes do change things, especially for the bankroll on the felt. I enjoy watching your videos.
