When he holds up his hand and says "It's a chop anyway," you should have bet big just to see if he would put you on K-10 and maybe run away.

Thought he was going to huff and puff and put you all in with K 10, lol

I like that you add the bets to the pot as they come in. It makes it easier to follow. Good choice!

A blocker bet around 80$ on that 7-8 hand would have saved you some money on the River. By checking, you basically have leveled yourself to be bluff catching with 2pair. It’s an obvious fold if your 80$ gets raised. It’s a small adjustment to our game that can save us money and that’s why we’re there to win pots and manage our losses to a minimum amount. You’re playing winning poker though and I truly enjoy watching your videos. Best of luck!

Nice session. Did you notice you were called with K6 off in that KK2 flop? Time to up the opening size.

My favorite interjection, after the 7 on the turn. "This is the worst card I could have seen." Just so spot on how we all feel. Excellent decision to cash out with a win.

Tip: when ur at a table like this, you should all-in way more on the turn, it's no limit for a reason

A magical number, “for reason I won’t discuss” LOL.

“He’s huffing, he’s puffing, he’s blowing the house down” 😂😂😂 love the funny in play comments, keep them coming!

First time watching your videos. Not too often I laugh during these poker vlogs 🤣 Great job !

Nice come back on last hand....a lot of drama.... Not sure how many times you have played 2/5 but it is a different game when most people think it would not be. Keep going dude your rocking it

I find myself rooting for you and like I am actually there. Hit my desk in front of me when you got sucked out on multiple times. Keep grinding man. You have fantastic content.

“Magical number 420” 🤣🤣🤣

Only 1 amigo wants to tango, cha cha, salsa bachata lol 😆😂🤣 love it. Good luck amigo 👍

Watched 1st episode last night and i can assure you i was waiting for this to post. commenting before i watch to help feed the algorithm. Good Luck and keep up the good work

Honestly in my top 5 for poker vlogs man you are doing so well! Keep it up

Seeing other Vlogs at Texas Card House. It seems to be insane. A $40 bet is like a limp, love it

You are a better man than me, after 4 sick beats where someone hits magic cards I either cash out or wait for dealer change depending on stack and time played. After 4 turns and rivers to beat you, you have to break the chain.

I can never watch 1/3 after this action, what a great vlog man !!!

When your playing Ax suited your bets need to be on the larger size. When you raise 20 in a 2-5 game, your going to get the waterfall effect. 1 calls now the next guy is priced in and so on and so your getting called in 3-4 spots. Raise larger and take a flop 1-2 ways

I subscribe to over 200 channels but whenever there's a new PokerBEAST video its the first thing I watch. Keep up the great work!

The difference between a winning poker player and a losing poker player is knowing when to get up and walk away from the table :-D Great video man, well done as always

I love that you show a lot of losing hands! most people just show their winners it makes it unbelievable! thank you

Good to whatch your episode!!

This popped up at 6am and I haven't slept yet so I'm going to have to come back to this but I look forward to seeing this later

When you have showdown value out of position and you're hoping it goes check/check, you have to learn to put out a bet and be prepared to fold to a raise. You put out a blocker bet there and he has noway at all to know you don't have a 9, so he just calls.

lesson#1 and 2,3,4,5........play IN POSITION!!! FOLDING out of position is a profitable play VERY often.

Nice vlog, subbed!

Welcome to TX...it's the wild wild west out here..."COLD HARD CASH!" MARITIME LAW!!!

Great vlog, love the 420 bet.

I think I have seen all of your videos. Am I mistaken that you have like almost no losing video sessions?

Keep grinding just remember NO RIVER NO FISH 🐟................

Would’ve love to seen a jam on the KK2210 board trying to rep K10

Love your vlogs!! So entertaining!

Only missed "smokes coming out of his ears" lol. Knew I liked ya already 420 bet confirmed it, when I come to visit SD again from the bay I'll hope to play with ya! 🤘😉

Nice to see you playing 2-5 now, you’ve come a long way from the early days of playing short stack 1-3. Love the improvements in your game, keep up the good work!

You survived! Congrats!

There's a lot of comments here and I'm not about to go through all of them to see if this was already mentioned, but I saw an clear tell on the 7 5 3 8 6 hand when you were holding top 2. When you look back at the video, villains fingers slightly tremble as he's putting in the river bet. Ok, itsnot that clear, you really have to pay attention. But what I meant by clear is, he'd only tremble when he has a strong hand. From my experience, people don't have that emotional reaction when they're bluffing.

Just had a rough day today losing 3000$ in 5/10 getting coolered at multiple spots.. after winning about 1.7 yesterday .. ah now i am in a terrible mood

So many negative comments about your play. They must have never run into some bad turns and rivers. Bottom line: you play at your comfort level, win some money, it’s a good day!

Great vlog!!

First time watching - likes and subbed, keep it up :D

It's an extremely inexpensive leak, but it'll occur quite often. Your call on the river (A6) A Q J 9 5 snaps off a bluff MAYBE once in ten tries, and earns you a chop once in a lifetime. Note: Though I'm not sure this specific opponent was a great candidate, a pot sized raise probably succeeds > 80% of the time.

Well done bro.... Get the nerves out and start playing bigger.... In the 87 hand when you drill top 2, in my mind you should've bombed the turn... If you bomb the turn and get raised you can still fold.... Betting half pot on a table like that is basically checking... Unless your hand is nutted, you should never make an invitation bet. Gotta protect your hands

you didn't have to call that $5 we'll split pitty bet full-house....how does he know you didn't have k/10?? Make him make that call....it's a no lose situation

On this table I feel you need to raise heavily preflop to isolate allowing you to bluff more frequently post flop…

Calling a little to light in some spots, and trying to “thin the field” a little to often. In my opinion. Pick better spots/pot control and you’ll see much more profits 🤟

I never like videos on youtube, except pokerbeasts videos.

Great episode man

Poker is not dead. The play at that table was horrible, YEAH! Good vlog

Love this channel. Thanks for keeping me entertained

That st8 bet of 420 .... lol I maybe from the uk but live in Vegas for 8 years....

I like the realness of the vlog.... Junk hands and all💯💩

The dealer burns and turns , yup they tend to do that

Lotta work for $280 , Kato. Good luck next session

the magical 420 bet. lets go

Masterpiece! Thanx Entertaining us!

Cant wait for the part 2

Seems to me that the last hand your opponent had you beat until the river when he hit his second pair giving you the straight, he may have had JQ.

Since you couldn't smash almost any board I think the run good is slowing down.. Downswing might be coming..So do know this before you start punting out you bankroll..

The lesson about sticking to your ranges is definitely valid if the game is playing right at all, but in live poker, that wouldn’t be the MOST profitable play because you could exploit most opponents mistakes post flop even with marginal preflop holdings. Toeing that line is my biggest leak in live poker imo, great videos

I think had you raised with the 87o hand, the villain wouldn't have played 74o. If you're gonna play marginal hands, then raised pre-flop to isolate premium hands. Especially in limped pots. His straight wouldn't have got there because he wouldn't be in the hand in the first place. Keep playing those hand to keep your range wide. But play aggressive to Isolate

I played $1-$2 with 6 of my friends. Bought in with $100. Got caught bluffing. Reloaded with $50. Came home with $710. $1-$2, $1-$3 $2-$5. All the same strategy Everyone limping and calling draws. Make them pay to get there.

Thank you for part deux! I thought part one was the worst poker I'd ever seen...Nope...this was worse. I wish I could play that bad and get lucky!

great content

Well done

ONLY do 2/5 makes the vlog SO MUCH MORE EXCITING !

5:00 you have to take in account its 7 ways preflop and then what hands are getting to the river that you beat? I'd SNAP fold 2 pair on this board when a 4liner comes out 7 ways to the flop. If its headsup its a different story

Man, when he put in the $5 and said "It;s a chop" you should have just dead pan said "Is it?" and then just slid your whole stack in and see what happens. I mean, you're basically free rolling at that point. He has a king, and not with a 10. He's just told you that. Does he want to bet the rest of his stack that you DIDN'T just hit K10? Maybe. But you've got little to lose at that point. Would've been extremely funny either way.

Bravo, nice...

Cato, where you been?? I understand, life steers us in different directions but I've missed your poker content. Hope your doing well. I gave your video a LIKE anyway.

PokerBeast fan base is growing like weed! Keep grinding man...

420 prefect size lol 😆😂🤣

Not trying to be critical but I'd stick with the 1/3 game for a bit. Playing with scared money at 2/5 wont work.

Da Beast‼️💪

I’ve gotten better at cash games thru experience,..I buy in for 200 usually at a 1/2 table....I’ll try a 2/5 at 400-500 buy in next time...goal of at least 200-250 profit..more if I can get it

Q10 Hearts. You have 4 outs wmfor a straight with J. Top pair. If he is on a flush draw you are giving him a free card. I am not pro but you have to make him pay for the river.

Your poker content is good but it’s your personality, style and commentary that creates the entertainment value. Nice job. Been with you pretty much ever since the beginning, although my screen name has changed. Keep up the good work.

On straight board texture, two pair is bluff catcher. And in mostly case, you cannot beat anyone. Another two pair? Top pair? Over pair? Almost 90%, you lose to simple straight (4 or 7 is not problem). Just simple throw it away, you will lose less money.

Love the videos man. Keep it up. Maybe we’ll run into each other if you play 2/5 here in california

For me personally I refuse to just call a straddle if it’s good enough for me to make the call I might as well raise it to thin the filed and stop for the most part somebody squeezing in later positions. Just my personal opinion tho.

Despite losing the hand you made the correct call on that 87 hand. You're correct that folding top 2 would be over folding and exploitable.

@PokerBeast all Poker players have this problem including me, it's called GREED! As poker players we need 2 b disciplined when we have a big chip stack. Now if u have AA-JJ or another premium hand, now if u want 2 call n a limp pot with any 2 cards ( u know as well as I do, that any 2 cards can win), ok np, but if u do not smash the flop, then fold, this will mix up ur game 2 confused the other players on what u might have when u have the nuts! I hope that helps u out some and also make u more profitable!

was a fan before this video, but after that $420 bet, i’m an even bigger fan now lol

you had to check the king

The kj hand $5 you should have put him to the test and raised.

Quick note to your pocket deuces hand at the beginning. Imo putting money in the pot against three other players is not good, since you only have 4 outs (A). Also your straight could even be dead by now. (6 7 OS is in the limping range of live players) Even a 2 would put a 4 liner on the board, so you are not getting paid, except you make a running full house. Pocket deuces is the worst holding you can have in this situation, completing from the big blind. good vlog lad. greetings from germany

I like how you play

This vlog sounds like he smoked some of that good good before 😂

I think the thumbs down are for calling dueces, two’s lol

You don't bet A6 on AQJ because you "need to have some decent hands in my checking range". When you open the betting you needn't have a checking range at all on this flop. Even in spots where you do have a checking range it's better to add some two pair plus hands - not top pair no kicker.

You’re way too passive preflop, you can boost your winrate drastically by playing more aggressively

Did the caller on the straight let you know what they had? I am thinking it would have had to have been a set, yes??

what camara did you use for recording the hands? by the way, good video, I like it. Was this in Thunder Valley?

You are not betting enough to protect your hands. Lead with the bet you will call and fold comfortably if they raise.

Unlucky with the 87 vs 74 hand, but them donkeys will always chase Just make sure on super wet boards when you're ahead that you're not afraid to charge the max for those draw chasing types

Great editing. Got my like as soon as you asked for it. Should’ve got it sooner! 🤦‍♂️

you can easily tip the dealer 5 10 bucks when you hit a big hand trust me , im a dealer and i know the feeling bro

The hand when dude had 7-4, when u said "he called me on the flop, then he called me on the turn for god knows what reason" lol I literally lost it. I'll tell u why he called u, he called u because he is a a sucker and we know suckers wont fold any pair even tho he had a gut shot to the bad end of a straight. Remember suckers only play their hands not yours, they never think about what they are up against nor do they have the ability to put u on ranges or the ability to think about what u think their range is, they don't care about none of that. Remember if a sucker is calling u they have something. They never are calling u as a float call nor do they ever try to call u down with like an ace high thinking it's good. When bad players call your bets and u have a marginal holding, be on the alert and if a sucker is betting the river, almost always they have it.

Let us know when you fold if you made the right move and what won the pot.
