Yeah I think you're being results oriented. Had he lost those flips he would have been out super early and no one would say that he played well. Seems like he got lucky. He even said he Sun ran so I don't think he's necessarily playing great it's just he's not being put to the test

I don’t get it hasn’t he figured that out? He’s a good aggressive player but he can’t help but punt

The last hand river shove is a 100% Grade-A pure punt. We're basically only ever getting called by hands that beat us after villain's line (has called a check-raise, and then leads into the check-raiser on turn with a "please raise me"-sizing, not really even a blocker bet sizing). When he put that 1/10thpot in, nearly every alarm-bell in my brain went off, and the rest went off when he flats our raise. This feels like another scenario where the guy likely knew you and your image, and played it back at you for max-punishment. KK is basically a bluff-catcher at that point. Check-back river 100%

@@jamesgernhart1093 Occasionally maybe, but I feel with this line, villain will have very little value left in their range to target holding KK (unless they're extremely bad or creative, they are NOT playing something like JT/J7/T7 this way). With the previous action, we're either already crushing them (ex. AdJs) and they fold to any size bet, or are way behind (ex. flush) and we're lighting chips on fire. VB also opens door for villain to check-raise again and possibly blow us off value. River should just be a check-back. If we had AdAx I think there's more value to attack since we block nut-flush, but with just Kd, the nut flush is still available to villain's represented range. We should pot-control river with just two-pair on that board and previous-action.

Hi Rampage. You asked for my comment about the KhKd hand. I am not a pro. Back in the day (before 10/2006). I would watch nose bleed cash games on PS non-stop to try to learn something. The one thing I remember was whenever there was a flush board or a paired board, the super pros would proceed with caution. I know it sounds simple, but that was my thought when you asked for my view. GL Sir.

What Rampage did on the river was SUPER punty. He raises turn, gets called. WHAT do you fucking think the villian is going to call you with? If he missed, he folds, if he's slow playing, you're losing. This is typical Rampage bullshit. Get far because slaps the deck harder than black mommas slap their kids, then pretends he's good.

On the last KKs hand, the opponent leads 40k bet (10%) of the pot on the turn. That should have been alarm bells.

problem with last hand is opponent wont be calling with worse. tough spot since Kings looks good but should be playing the long game and preserving the stack

happy frickin Tuesday ethan! banger!

So hard for me to understand not checking back on the KK hand……….🤯

At least you didn’t go bust that hand. He played your KK with finesse as if he were in an orchestra doing a violin solo. He knew your tendencies for being lulled into calling, and got you to pick up :P

Tournament vlogs are another thing! Amazing

This gonna be a banger and i never even watched yet!!!!! Lets go!!!

Gotta understand your image and know people are adjusting accordingly. Was a perfectly laid trap, and the fact you didn't even consider that a trap was being laid, marks a hole in your game that you need to patch. Always rooting for you bro, hope you do great in the main!

Was your image super Argo going into the last hand? The old "make it look like a 'block' bet" bet on the turn works a lot vs aggressive players.

do the last format of day in the life again i loved it

I like that RAMPAGE shows the time lapse in the upper left corner.

On that river with the board pairing Ten and you have Aces, I like a small 1BB bet to induce a bluff. It takes away their option to check. And it’s one of the most psychologically difficult things to fold for 1BB on the river. But they can’t call so they almost always raise their bluffs.

Good Afternoon Young Man

WHOOO RAMPAGE POST

good luck my ethan boy

Curious your thoughts on the last hand Jam? I know hindsight is 20-20 but other than Ace jack with a diamond and Queens with a diamond what calls a 1.5 x shove that you beat? aj would probably find a fold. love the video keep up the run

Sick run!

Congrats on the final table

Pretty surprised by how little the opponents bluffed on the river in some of these hands.

That's a nice run so far. With the KK hand, my understanding is that once the board pairs you are shoving full houses to target flushes. Two pair is very unlikely to get called by worse, so as others have said shoving is not the play.

pocket 10s at 10pm 👀 majestic

The play his opponent made at the end was next level!

After this video, which I enjoyed very much (very fun to watch), I am going to refer to Lex O poker as “player to my left” from now on.

Please last hand shove reminds me Rampage is go all in when the same situation when he facing nuts flush versus Mariano😅😅😅

When you Go all In with pocket kings What did you expect him to call with?

i think quote from Rounder movie is good " he trap me"

Glad to see you running well again! on the 56s hand, you can always just fold pre. It's marginal, and you're deep in a tourney. Still fine the way you played it. I think the fold on the river was good. You're losing to a lot of hands that play that way. Tough spot.

Blink a 10 at exactly 10pm 😮

And day 4 of the main event!! Go rampage!!

Played you like a fiddle, that ending hand. Knew you would behave, true to form. Leading punter in poker world.

Loved all your moves except the All In at the end with KK on a Monotone Board and a paired board? Interesting thought process throughout the hand. He was either an experienced poker pro trying to induce a raise or he had you just read like a book and played you like a fiddle.

Ethan, you have a talent for tournament play

Long time since we've heard this guy say 'sun running'

“I get my opponent to 3 bet me” 😂

OUCH> That Snap call holding the Nutt Flush (Esp after using 2 time banks on the turn as deception. AND> You know, in retrospect, that his small 40k bet was BAIT to get you to do exactly what you did and set him up for the double Time Bank Bluff Call) I FELT THAT ONE IN MY SOUL. Although I personally would not have gone All In. Not with a pretty much "Snap" ReRaise on an All Diamond Flop. Despite everything, I would have checked it down. Still, I gotta feel for ya. That *Was* a Tough Spot and Had to Hurt.

Yeah, that small bet says ace of diamonds. Doesn’t mean a flush, but I’d definitely play it smaller and check back and call off his 25-35% river bet

I know this is kinda easy for someone watching but on that hand at the end when he made the small bet of 40k with a potential nuts on the flop I had a feeling he was slow playing, think about it if he really wanted to bluff he would have bet a lot more possibly like 150 but instead he put a small bet that made it easy to call and allow you to see that card, he probably put you on pockets and needed a way for you to catch up with the board paring that was perfect for him, having you get 2 pair, and his check could’ve failed if you checked back but obviously he felt you would try to get him off the hand. What was really chefs kiss was using the time banks I think that really got in your head and made you think you were ahead. I’m not close to a pro and I learn a lot from watching you but for me I always if I think I have the best hand I’ll play that 40k wouldve made me cautious.

5/2 is called the Ray Lew.......

56 vs j10, you weren't drawing dead, you could hit J10 runner runner for a split

Tighten up

The 6d5d hand wasn't that bad, your opponent is just loose for calling that flop bet OOP with KQ no heart. If you're playing AA-TT, A9, 98 etc with no heart the same way then you have plenty of better hands that bet flop, check turn, and can call river, though against a player who floats too wide OOP 65 is probably still a call. The KK hand was the bad one. Your opponent's range after he raised flop and called your turn raise is just flushes, straights, sets, and hands like Ad9o that are planning to bluff you on non-board pairs. All of his 9dXx, 8dXx as bluffs and two-pairs are probably folding turn, so KdKo is meant to just call down turn and river.

Hi Mr yau❤

Riches to rags.. But hey, I'm sun running.. Weeeeee...

Played well just to get Hollywooded on the last hand. Unfortunate. But you gotta respect the flush being out there lol.

What losing hand was gonna call your KK all in when river paired 3?😂

If the time stamp is accurate on the video you have had more playable hands (even the losing ones) in 2.5 hrs than I had all day playing 6 hours in a tournament. Guess some people are just that lucky

Do those unprotected cards out there near the line make anyone else nervous?

Donk!!!

Knowing that you are bagging in 3 hands, I believe the KK @rampage was misplayed because I think you are 2nd in chips on the table and position 1 already folded (who looks like to be the chip/table leader in chips) with that said you needed to size up with KKs because how vulnerable they can be against the short stacked players. The blinds were already huge. chipping up at this stage of the tournament is better than flipping against Ax hands for your tournament life even tho you covered him you could still be out in a few hands after tilting. Now if this was at the Final Table Hand you would of open 3 bet shoved and of course Ax would of insta muck I know I would but he was suited there's a Chance he calls but you open 3 bet shoving you must have minimum AK suited. Just adding ICM pressure before Final Table with or without KINGS. Allowing them to see the flop for cheap is how you get premiums cracked. Sometimes its better to take the blinds and not lose 30% of the stack by overplaying. which is what we generally do when we get delt AAs KKs we get attached and we overplay. thats POKA BABY!!!!

That last all in was silly, or else he played fine

Got greedy at the end there with Kings , a bet would suffice but All in with no Flush, no boat or even a set is kinda wild assuming you are targeting smaller 2 pairs ...why would anyone call all in with a worse 2 pair when the board paired .. solid play tho overall thru the video! good luck the rest of the way tho!

How much effort does it take to make an upside down fuck you sign for each check?
