I see you're following the rampage road map now haha.

Sam - as a fellow poker player and fellow Canadian - respect. I really appreciate your honesty to share your downs as well as your ups. This will build your character. Thanks again, and hope your luck turns around!

if you are playing against people that snap call top two without thinking about it on a 4 liner to a straight maybe you should bluff a little less lol

I’ve been following your advice on 1/3, 2/5 games and it’s been helping me a lot . Great content as usual . It’s pretty cool you r able to travel and play tournaments 👍🏼 . Looking forward to learn more form your Vlogs

The Parq 2/5 is by far THE nittiest game I’ve sat in

Brother definitely good to take a break. But to say they always have it is just preposterous. At this particular table and perhaps over the last few sessions you’ve just been running into it. Don’t get discouraged my friend. I enjoy watching your content more than anyone else. I am in awe half the time watching you make plays and call down. Absolute awe!

taking a break makes sense, but brother its 2/5 stop punting it off to these nits . they dont bluf enough or bet thin enough. You are going to go broke playing like a maniac

You got used to playing in Texas, the rest of the world doesn’t play like morons. Start removing 75% of bluffs from your opponents when not in TX and you’ll be good

Good luck in Asia!!! Can't wait for some tourney vlogs. Also, please come play in the UK sometime so you can tell everyone games are tougher here. I need validation for my abysmal hourly.

Another great video. Seems like you’re playing with some massive nits and they’re just getting lucky. The only adjustments I can think of is being more equity driven on some of your turn bluffs (ie backdoor flush draw > blocking turned two pair) and using your image to randomize (ie when they think you’re bluffy, “randomize” passive and vise versa). Keep up the solid play and the awesome content!

Love the videos! I think the background noise is a bit distracting, not sure if it's just me. Keep up the videos and looking forward to tournament videos!

Sorry for the bad session. I'm wondering if the locals are on to you? Usually the bluffs get through and now they are hero calling

Your making the game to hard on yourself and need to tighten up your ranges your trying to be to much of a pro and theres no need for that in a lot of these games on the bright side u could have marketed yourself into some good private games 🎉

Dear BluffaloSam, I resonate with your playstyle and thought process and I believe in the long run, you can turn a profit

4c4s: I'd just check here. You're MW and even though villain's limp-called, I think Kx/Qx and sd/fd are possible, in addition to 22. These hands are not folding to a tiny bet. AsQc: Bluffing with the nut no-pair. What are you trying to get him to fold here? T8o: I realize you hit the straight here, but I think defending this hand is way too wide when the SB has already called. If SB had not called, it would be ok. KcQh: Why do you check the turn when it brings some draws and then bet the river when the most obvious draws get there? Shouldn't it be the reverse? 99: Good call. I probably would have talked myself out of it, but it was a fine call since only the 98 gets there by the river. 86hh: "Villain calls EVERYTHING on the flop, so I range bet." What? KJcc: Wow. Bluffing with the flush. I've never seen that before.

It’s not thin value when you hit an A but there are two 8s on the board and they have been betting the whole time.

Great vlog. I really think a lof of the hands that call the overbet on KQJ4 have a T in them though. I would expect any pair and open ender to call turn (and fold river unimproved)

@BluffaloSam

Maybe, I thought a lot of them would let it go

43:06 hand at this moment is interesting in that the button was trapping but he probably was doing for post flop. But than the SB raised very small- I’m guessing something like Ax suited, than the BB woke up with a pocket pair, most likey JJ, TT, 99 or something like KQs. People hate folding those in BB.

Greg goes all in has a good video on how to poker vlog. Genuinely taking notes (for me) is very hard. It just shows I need to pay more attention to all the action. I will immediately after the hand forget who opened, who limped, what betting amounts were. But Johnathan little has a good video on taking notes as well.

I was 100% confident he has an 8 on that 400 raise, but I guess everyone has their own reads + his image at the table worked out against you.

When people are calling your bluffs off multiple times wirh second pair why keep bluffing? Wouldn't you print betting top pair even for thin value? That being said ive learned a lot from tou so thank you for your content

I am a bit confused by the continued bluffing when you turn a pair. You did it a few times during the session. Usually the default play is to try to get closer to showdown. A2dd: Villain should not "defend so wide here" UTG raise. If villain is holding 43o combos, he is playing nearly everything. That wide a range means there is NO WAY he has the range advantage. (He also has hands like QJo down to 65o, possibly QTo to 75o, also. That is a TON of combos with very little equity.) If he has the range advantage AND is IP, what is the purpose of range betting? Might as well just bet large with a polarized range (including this hand, with the gutshot and bdfd). ATdd: I think you bluffed the best hand. KK: I think a turn bet makes more sense than a river bet. The turn brings in very few draws; the river just increases the number of hands that beat you. 66: You are thinking of button vs BB. MP does not have many hands that hit this flop. Button does. KTo: I think this is a bad hand to bluff with. The blocker effects of these 2 cards are pretty useless because the hands you block are KJdd, JTss, which are impossible bc the Js/Jd are on the board. (KJo is possible, but JTo is not likely from MP.) 54hh: Not a fan of the turn overbet. If you don't have enough bluffs with only draws/trash, the bet sizing is too big, and if you do have a lot of draws/trash, I think a pair is too far up in your range to bluff.

Isn’t raising AKo on the river a bit too thin? Because if he call yes you’re beating other aces, but he knows your range can have better aces

I dont bluff when there is a pair on board.

Lot of tight, trappy players here it looks like. Might need to play more exploitable. Makes it tough to go for thin value with some of their actions. Very difficult but you are leagues above them. I am sure you will turn it around.

looking forward to tourny vlog which i prefer to cash hope u crush!

Sam big fan here. Love ur style of play! Seems like words got around at the parx and many seems to know about ur playing style. I think its time switch ur gear and pick better spots with strong hands. Against tight nit players, when the money goes in, mostly they have it. Less multiway pot and reduce bluff frequency. Your table image was pretty bad last couple of sessions. Q9 thin value shove was good move but it didnt help ur image. Hope my 2 cents help

Bro, I was driving while listening to this. This was almost as frustrating as playing 5z online.

I call the $125 river bet, any junk Ace is folding and you are getting called by AT and any 8. He knows you don't have aces so he knows he's good when the A hits and you raise after checking the turn

Study on this break cause sheesh

Zeebos theorem; nobody folds a boat

With A5s I only call one bet.

This guy really likes playing 74sooted

Facing a raise and reraise out of position; I 4bet with AA and Kings/call with AKo and AKs and QQ/everything else is fold. My solver wants me to 4bet with this range plus AQs. using this range would have saved you $1900 in the KJs hand.

You could make two 20-25 minute vlogs out of this many hands btw. Probably better for YT algo and hitting 2 vlogs/week goal

I don't understand some of the missed 3 bet and 4 bet opportunities. Like the AJo hand, probably a 4 bet against a wide 3 bettor. KQo probably a 3 bet. AQo definitely a 4 bet, probably the only pure 4 bet bluff. I personally play 4 bet or fold OOP, but that is me playing 25z online as a breakeven player. I am not telling you " Hey you need to do this", maybe you have reads or other knowledge i don't have.

I think you taking a break is a good thing, probably one of the best things I ever did for my game, personally. As far as your thought process on the quads hand, I think carrot corner has a good video on that, something like " play your hand " is the title. I also forget that I can play 200+ hands per table per hour, while you play 200 a day live, which isn't a bad thing, your periods of running into it are going to be extended compared to mine.

@@BluffaloSam I thought of this today, and I am an idiot for not realizing it. What if the bottom of their 3 bet range is like AQ or AJ? What if they are over defending AQ and AJ to 3 or 4 bets? From what I understand the reason we bluff 4 bet AJo is good blockers, but what if they just aren't 3 betting polarized to begin with?

Not playing bad just not catching breaks. Happens for long periods being a pro. Stuff happens but don’t let it get you down. It happens. Not like you rampage just tossing money away on crazy bluffs.

The ALL-IN shove with AQ diamonds was questionable because you know for a fact that at minimum either the button or the other player who flatted the 3 bet that at least ONE player will call you and 98% of the time you will be behind with your AQs... Therefore, you 0% fold equity with that play and I think the better play with pretty decent odds was a cold "recall" of $200 in that spot and see the flop with the 40% Royale...

Painful session brother. Not a lot of options for table change? Hard to win at any table with a shot table image. First vid I’ve seen where you seem to have ventured into “fancy play syndrome,” and paying them off. When in doubt “they have it” until proven otherwise. Much respect for putting the good and the bad out there.

Sorry about the nitty game. Come back to Austin Tx.

Hand 4 Ad2d. I think you should just be betting bigger in a lot of these situations. Once you get called and we don't get called, I love the decision to fire again but you are not targeting a "4" or "3" like you mentioned. Those are folding flop. You Realistically are trying to get 66-TT to fold. Hand 5 AdTd. Why are we firing for so small preflop? We're against the button straddle and we're out of position for the rest of the hand? I would definitely lean towards 30-50 pre. Then once we get to the flop I think we can just pitch it I mean he's probably able to stab superwide here but the hand becomes very tough to play on a board like this on future streets and it lacks clarity of where we're at. The bluff on the river i think is fine and I don't expect our opponent to have a flush. Hand 10 KdJs. This is an absolute punt here. First of all we should just be folding. There are way better hands we have to continue here like nut flush and combo draws and additionally there are multiple players who have taken interest. The raise I think is especially bad because we don't represent any value. All of our sets bet all of our over pairs bet. So what does this check raise represent for value? I think this was just a punt. Hand 12 KdTs. Pre good flop good turn. We should just muck this. It's going to be incredibly tough to get value otr and if I did call on the turn and brick the river I think leading with an overbet would be the play. Hand 13 AcKs. Pre good flop I think either way is fine but I think betting is preferred. Once called turn we have to check and on the river I think this is a I already knew what I wanted to bet on the turn and I'm betting on the river. With that said I think he's waited towards AX and TX and they're not going to be able to call 550 I think your only getting called by better with those sizing.

AXs QJ,KJ,AJ,AQ, a bunch of garbage that is called I think we can just give up once we bet and are called just check and give up.

Quit going for thin value and playing the range game when you're this wide open. Even the rail is going to call you down with 4th pair, when you're not showing the nuts, ever.

15:12 these type of hands seem so unnecessary. Talking through hands he doesn’t have and shouldn’t have and then gets snapped off. GG.

you have almost an equal amount of "it gets the job dones" and "that's unfortunates" too bad the 2nd group is so much larger in pot sizes.
