I know its a small thing, but I really appreciate you showing the hands you fold, and the actual action of folding. Not many channels do that but it shows the patience it takes to make a good hand

I just want to reiterate that one of my favorite things about your blog is that you show your folds. It gives you an opportunity to fill the space with appropriate commentary about the hands without pontificating, and it shows the reality of how little you actually play when you are playing good poker

Just something I’ve learned, if you are not comfortable with the betting amounts it can be dangerous due to over folding

@pot_kivach160

why's dangerous?

From $200 @ $1/2 to $1000 in $2/5. Talk about progression, and fast! Good luck!!

Always great to see the most earnest poker vlogger out there take it home.

Nicely done. I felt your pain on that first AK hand. First instinct is always the better decision.

Looking forward to your Vegas trip vlogs. I live there and haven't played in a year. Your vlogs are helping me get my head back into the game

Really enjoying your videos, especially showing the folded hands. One thing I might add that I like to see from other pker vlogs is how the hand plays out when you fold on the flop or turn, it's fun to see if you made a the right decision. Otherwise, I think you're now my favorite poker vloger!

YOU ARE DEFINITELY BETTER THAN YOU THINK, COMPARED TO MOST VLOGGERS, KEEP IT UP

Great vid! My favorite poker channel to watch. No BS, just playing poker. Thanks!

Definitely one of my favorite poker channels. Keep doing what you do brother! 👍🙏💯

Listen, I never comment on vlogs, but I had to give u a shot out your videos are the coolest from a beginner prospective the way you developed your game is great to watch in real time. Keep up the good work

Hey poker brother! Saw your comment on DNegs live stream, great channel you have here, sir.

Enjoying your content keep it up. Fan of you showing your folded junk and commentary about how you perceive players around the table. Show more hands you're involved in but laying down, like one of the later ones you mentioned. 👍

Really enjoyed your vlog on the 2/5 game. Playing 2/5 can really give you a rush. Good luck in Vegas and the tournaments.

Good luck in Vegas Cato! Be sure to try some of the cash games and represent the 619!

Thats why in No Limit its so important to keep your stack at the max. The next hand could be the one you double up and you dont wana lose any money not getting the max. Nice vlog man!!

Played well for first stab at 2/5. The thing to remember is that although the stakes are higher it is still a game about betting a % of the pot. Good luck in Vegas. Don't know how many tourneys you have played in the past but the best advice I was ever given is don't call all-in on a draw.

@Seriously_Eh

And don't draw to a straight on a flush board... and don't draw to a flush on a paired board... Oh right, and don't call an all in on the river with top pair on a paired board... lol.

I was getting kinda nervous for you, but good job hanging in there.

Ur like a news reader bro comes in does his job there he goes out in no time. Loved ur hard work. Big fan here

Awesome video! I don't mind the hero call at the start, if they know you are a new face to the stakes someone with deep pockets will test you early, see it all the time here. That was probably his intention calling your large open with 5 2. Just luckboxed out.

Good luck for you in Las Vegas and the tournaments! Enjoy you posting in your blog.

Happy to see you moving up in stakes good luck.

Quickly becoming my new favourite poker vlog. Keep up the great content

Best vlog yet man, higher stakes really do take everything up a level!

Best session you have played yet on the vlog by far

These videos are pretty sick. Really appreciate the low limit play, as that is ideal for my range. Learning a lot. Great commentary and great editing.

I am a new subscriber and find your blog to be very informative and really enjoy see the hands you fold it says alot about the game. Keep up the good work.

Wow, that was cool, nice job! This is the first time I've watched your vlog....I subscribed. Thanks! Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

never missing single vlog🤗🤗

Nice comeback! And I'm glad to see you step up in stakes - you can make that $800 comeback much easier at $2/$5. I don't agree with whoever said the 2/5 players are worse - there's donkeys and fish at all levels. BTW, I think the main reason you lost the AK hand to 2-5 is because he had a button straddle on, so after the cutoff called, he was getting about 4-1 on a $25 call. So, if you want to raise a straddle next time, go for $50 or more.

Good luck in Vegas man! I look forward to seeing the tourneys...

This is your best vlog so far. Great work!

Nicely done! Good luck in the tournaments!

Nice man. Hopefully you'll get adjusted to the 2/5 quickly and yes there's way more money to be made at a 2/5 game.

Kudos to you for going to a higher stakes game. Exciting when you first step into those waters.

Really appreciate your channel Sir!! Keep up the good work!

Good luck in Vegas. I remember my first 2-5 game, made a lot of money similar to your pots. Keep up and you’ll stay up

Really digging the vlogs ... This step up in stakes and your transparency made a great combo... I will say the this time you had some inflection in your voice was a nice treat.... Not that i could do better but sometimes the monotone hand reviews take away from the really good job u do of capturing the action and relaying your thoughts.

Thanks for posting this! I'm playing my first 2/5 game on Sat, and I'm nervous about that jump as well.

Hey man, you're making big strides. I can tell you study the game and are becoming much more comfortable. Good look in Vegas dude.

Hey buddy awesome channel at about 11 Min you show on the graphic that you lost with a set of 10s vs pocket 7s but you win the hand !! Also I know people love when you get right to the felt but I like your persona and think you could chat up the start of your games a bit more allow your audience to see more of who you really are ! Not too much of course but cheers !!

Nice comeback my guy you played great

Your packing up timing is so right

Nice, moving up! Like you noted in the video if someone is straddling you can open for way more than $35 and still get callers, at least in the 3-5 game I play in.

Great job. Very well done. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹

Great 5-10 session you are playing very well and I like the fact that you cash out when you ahead. I'm also glad to see you playing tournaments stay focused run well you will Love playing a final table. It's challenging to get there you have to play well thought out the tournament but Great payouts at the final 3 positions.

Kato Nice move up in stakes. You've got talent.

The fist time playing 2/5 was after a winning session of 1/3 it kinda like a confident booster, one of the dealers gave me a awesome too once witch was "same game different chips, great vlog!

I was so mad when you got coolered in that first hand...these dumbasses playing 5-2o ugh ugh ugh lol. Glad you got it all back!

When I first sat down at a 2-5 table, everyone began putting a $5 chip in front of them. I didn't know what they were doing (the game was time raked) but didn't want to out myself as a newbie so...... I (having NO IDEA why) also put in my $5 chip! Fake it till you make it!

You’re killing it keep playing good man good luck in Vegas

Work on sizings. When you raise with AK pre and it goes multi-way, no need to bet 1/2 pot plus on a K32 flop. Downbet allowing you to continue with your entire range more often. Think your Cbet sizing needs work along with 3bet sizings pre. You’ve came a long way, and really enjoy the vids. Just some things to consider. GL in tourney play, enjoy the trip!

I watched all your vids beast! Huge fan. I’ve never played a live game but have been studying non stop. Wanting to hit the felt but I’m super nervous. I don’t think I’m ready yet!

Loooove the a4s squeeze but you could prolly go bigger

Bro congrats on this HEATER of a sesh man! ♥️♠️💰💰🤘

Kido- the raise of $35 with AK is the problem. You said it, he could have any cards. Next time you play big cards, the raise should go big on 2/5, or be ready to fold. In this case you bet small, and you should have checked turn, if he bet you fold the turn. If he check, you check the river if he bet small you call, otherwise you call. I still think you gonna become beast one day. Lol 😆

Hi poker beast I know everyone likes you getting straight to action, but would be nice if you have a small talk before getting into the game, would be nice to see your shinning eyes through those smile behind the mask. Your little mannerisms also is so cute to watch.

I do like that you show how many hands you fold, cause a lot of the time it feels like people play every hand which in no way is the strat

Nice recovery. Best of luck in Vegas.

Great job on the 2-5 bro that’s how you got to play these stakes at the table are more of a gamble and aggressive players who play with nothing or go all in on small pairs or to to make you throw away your hand sometimes just got to study the table catch the live reads raise 3bets preflop on big hands is definitely what I learned and keep on the raising 🤟

Hi Cato, I don't think the K55 hand had much to do with $2/5, I think the error was your assumption that a K55 flop was a "pretty dry board". I never consider any board pairings as dry, in fact his actions were indicative of holding a 5. Keep up the great work on the vlogs, you have great content!

One of the hardest things to figure out is moving up in game sizing and becoming comfortable with the money being thrown around. Make sure you’re ready 2/5 is a hel of a game

I live watchin these videos!! Post more!!!❤️❤️❤️

2/5 at first can be intimidating but don't give up. Good job.

Atleast you guys over there can play, our casinos have not opened the poker rooms for 1 year now .

I was trill watching this. It brought me back at that time where you take a shot at higher stakes and booked a win, it's quite exciting. I know how you felt when you cbet flop 5 green chips :).

Welcome to the 2/5 rollercoaster ride!

good luck in Vegas!!

in n out fries light well is a brilliant play. mad respect

You have some leaks in your game. I recommend watching Bart Hanson. The AK hand was bloated by you initially raising to 35. Which means it gets further bloated on the flop. A dry k55 flop you should go 40ish percent flop. The run out was terrible! Yes, the had a five... dont be results orientated. Calling with 52 offsuit to a 7x open is atrociously bad play. I would of folded river, not worried about a 5, but worried about kq or kj. On the river what hands do you beat with how the action unfolded? Your sizing became much better throughout the session. Results orientated isn't always correct. The pocket 3s. A raise on the turn is better. It's apparent someone has a 7, they'll never fold! Watch Bart Hanson, to reiterate, you'll learn a ton!! Nice comeback though, not how you start it's how you finish. Oh, and In and out sounded amazing. Cheers mate!

Gotta get that double double bro! lol I love living in So Cal!

Great job on the 2/5 session. It’s definitely not 1/2 and depends on the game selections at your card house it could be the toughest game. You will still find a fare share of punting at this level. Just have to find those spots. Good luck in Vegas. Just got back myself.

enjoy vegas !! maybe ull get to meet brad

hell yeah man! gl in Vegas

I like that you show the down cards that you fold.

You run so good lmao it’s insane
