This is my favorite episode of yours so far. You show the tough loss, manage to make it fun to watch, and you still show some good poker decisions...all those early folds which were likely correct. I'm probably not good enough to make those folds, so I learned something. Thanks! You're awesome!

Some vlogs seem to only & always have & hit the goods. Granted, I also don't have the luxury of getting TX action calls when I do hit either 🤑 Playing early vs NITs is easier but small pots.

In the KhQh hand, doesn’t the middling board hit your range better? Since you’re later in the action than both players isn’t it more likely you’d have pocket 7s and 9s in your range while your opponents are more likely to have face cards? Question from a noob :)

It’s definitely a possibility, but people don’t often raise an EP better on a single board bomb pot without a strong hand. And on this board, it’s wayyy too easy for someone to have a single 3, so a raise would be a pretty massive overplay, given a 3 almost never folds to a raise

Definitely the right move folding kings

Hi buddy, I have no idea of what sort of bankroll you have behind this, so I only hope that this was less of a real blow and more of a mental blow. We all play our C or even D game when tilt shows its brutal face. I will not berate, but I really hope you look for signs of when to abandon ship, next time this comes around. Odds of rebounding after the massive hits halfway through the session are slim and would require some sort of miracle. But who am I to tell, best of luck. At least posting comments help the video getting more exposure to help your channel ;-)
