He's Losing Over $120,000 & Then Does THIS!!!!
The Lodge Card Club has become Brad Owen’s home turf since he bought a piece of it back in 2022. He was back in action on the high-stakes cash game stream, firing away on the turn drawing dead. His opponent was Taras, who had turned trips and looked likely to ruin the start of Brad’s session, but then something unbelievable happened!
When most of the flush draws and straight draws miss on the river, and you hold a strong bluff catcher (hands that don’t block your opponent from having had a draw on the flop or turn), you should call a vast majority of the time. However, if you know your opponent is weak-tight and not capable of bluffing then you can arguably find a fold.
Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful KZread poker vlogger with over 715,000 subscribers. His KZread channel has had over 172,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game player Brad has started playing more tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live tournament winnings are over $790,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he came 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas.
Taras is an amateur poker player living in Texas. He has been a regular at The Lodge for a long time and will play stakes from $5/$10 up to $400/$800. He is known to be very talkative at the table.
In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen, and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large-screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment while playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long-time regulars at The Lodge. They provide viewers with strategic insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor.
The Lodge Live Stream has had a variety of different poker players coming to play on stream, these include; Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Alex Foxen, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Ben Lamb, Bill Perkins, Brad Owen, Andrew Neeme, and Nik Airball.
🔍 Pre-Flop Action:
With the blinds set at $200/$400, Taras opens from the button to $1,000 with 76o. Poker vlogger Brad Owen calls from the big blind with A5o, and they head to the flop.
💸 Flop - Js 6s 4c:
Brad misses the flop and checks with just an ace-high backdoor flush draw and backdoor straight draw. Taras, the preflop aggressor in the hand, continuation bets for $800 and gets check-raised by Brad to $2,000. Taras sticks around with second pair, and they head to the turn.
💣 Turn - 6c
A board-pairing 6 of clubs on the turn introduces a second flush draw. Brad didn’t pick up any pair or draw on the turn and is left drawing dead. However, he continues his story from the flop and bets $4,700. Taras calls with his trip sixes as they head to the river.
🌊 River - 3h:
The 3 of hearts on the river completes a few unlikely straights but leaves Brad with just ace-high. He knows the only way he can win this pot is by firing again, so he does just that and puts out a 75% pot-sized bet of $12,000. Taras still has trips on the river and also has a blocker to the straight. All he has to do is throw in the call to scoop the pot, but it looks like he may have other plans!
You must watch this entire poker video to see what Taras does! !

You've got to move up to where they respect your punts.
opponent knows brad is on a downturn which usually tightens up their play. brad played perfectly bc he knows who he playing against
Brad took control with the flop raise, then bet out on turn (no fear of 6) so reppin' strong, then control strongly with 12k bet. confidence booster play! GG Brad
Thank John, Very sound and useful coaching.

Nah. Taras just isn't very good at poker.
Brad is repping JJ or A6s here. I can't think of any other combos that make sense, only because it was 3bet pre. Nice bluff. For sure Brad had revenge mode activated 😂. I'm not saying Brad was mad, because he has a great mindset as you you stated. He got some Bradley dollars back though.

It is BU vs BB; both ranges preflop are extremely wide. - Brad has many combos that beat 76: All combos of 75, and most higher trips, but at the very least Q6+. However, jiggities he will have here only very rarely. 😉

Isn't a 6 also a rare x/r on flop though?
Brad's previous losing session would weigh on him. I reckon he thought "well I've lost $120k already I'm just gonna go for it. Make some bluffs. To hell with it. Wish me luck!" 🤞🏻🍀
It looks like it did affect his play even tho it shouldn’t . Consistency leads to longevity. Play well often win often
Can you make a Video for playing in the small blind? I think it s the most difficult position to play
I believe it did impact Brad's play but not Taras'.
Damn!!! A great lesson for me as well!!

Taras is known for making big laydowns, but in this case I think Taras is thinking Brad will tighten up his play after losing over 100k in previous gamehence the fold.
Yes I think Taras assumed Brad was less likely to bluff after losing 150k.
I guess it’s the fact that Brad raised small. It looked like a protection raise from a low or middle pair

Thanks, John! I'm glad you liked it
I had pocket 3s. 4 people to the flop which was 3c 7D 8club Check to me I bet on the button The turn was 9C I still bet river was a 10C She led into me all in I thought about it forever I folded she had K10D I just laughed 😂
why are those chips massive
You can't believe Taras folded 3oKind? What about Brad's tilt play? As always...avoid being results oriented. Despite winning the pot, I'd be very much inclined (knowing the big L he's nursing from the prior session) to put Brad on tilty play after showing that.
Mariano’s room would be awesome but I doubt it
Wth just happened? No, I doubt Taras thought Brad was being nitty or tilted after losing, he just screwed the hand up. The fact it was a stream seemed important to Taras, he mentioned it, that might count? Thanks.
Famous last words
Brad played it like he flopped a flush , terras has to fold
Doesn't seem like either of them played this river very well

@@kellyallen8528 I agree... Putting in that many big blinds preflop even if you're ahead is risky. I'm sure he wouldn't have made this play if he wasn't stuck, but he probably expected to be 60-70% favourite based on hand history.
Maybe he thought he had a good live read on Brad?
max 6 sec intro, why make it 1 min?
What is brad actually trying to represent here? It's a button raise from Taras so surely you would think Brad would three bet JJ preflop and I can't imagine a six would check raise that flop ESPECIALLY given you have one of them. The only thing I can think of is 44 or something like 57 of clubs that got there. 57 of spades would make sense but you're blocking the 7 of spades. If brad has a 6, he's most likely going to check the flop then lead the turn or try to check raise the turn. Probably thought brad is being backed and wouldn't come out the gates swinging after he lost 6 figures the day before.
Just because Brad got him to fold doesn't make it a good bet by him.. imo...
No way Im folding here, Huge Mistake.
yes it affective his play. he is play on the repution of someone how who believes he is on tilt.
I love to watch poker, but I cannot stand that I cannot hear the people in the hand because of the other players, not in the hand, talking too loudly and acting like it is no big deal.
I lost over $150 in 1/3 when I had trip queens with a weak kicker, calling a queen with a better kicker that became a boat. Folding trips has become a part of my repertoire since then. Can't blame Taras too much
Wrong stakes. He needs to drop down if he plans to be profitable
Taras is so bad at poker
I think Brad was pseudo-tilt, and got lucky
If anyone has watched him play, you know Taras is a terrible poker player
