My Journey to the World Series of Poker (Part 1)

Ойын-сауық

It's always been a dream of mine to make a deep run in the World Series of Poker. Can I make it a reality?
The Brantzen Poker Vlog documents my journey as a poker player in Southern California. SUBSCRIBE to share the highs and lows with me as I continue to build a bankroll, and hopefully move up in stakes.

    @@BrantzenPoker I don’t know how different you can play that. Maybe a higher raise preflop and flop but there’s a ton of hands that he’s gonna do the same thing with. 910, sevens. Hands that QQ are dominating. You have to play that somewhat risky in order to get paid. Taking down the blinds is nice but a double up is better.

    12:10 the small cbet is a mistake. You've flopped well against a very good opponent. You don't want to bet small and keep his range super wide on the turn. You don't want to be guessing too much against someone like deeb. Gotta bet 25-30k on the flop to get his range. I'd say you didn't get unlucky, you just plain played bad.
