Absolute horrendous call with the AQo

Ethan, first time commenting on a KZread video and I feel like the community is getting more toxic. Sure there are plays that are unnecessary, but commenting is way easier than playing! You're also the rare ones that upload on a very consistent basis with a lot of action heavy hands. Love your content regardless punts or not. Don't get too affected by negativity. Keep doing you and I'll be continuously watching and supporting you!

How do you call that A6 when A7cc as a bluff beats you? That's a punt of amazing proportions...

Right... And then the 888 hand. Gives his opponent free cards, straights and flushes get there, THEN he jams (only straights and flushes or maybe smaller sets could call here) the river and gets called by a rivered top pair. 🤣 How bad can a 1100$ live tournament be. I just don't understand why someone would play this terrible poker and then post it online for people to laugh about 🤣 And then this guy goes to high stakes cash games with his MTT style and gets crushed. Like how did you think that was gonna go?

He’s a winner you are the joke lol

Why only raise to 2K with the AQ off? The pot starts with 1500 and now has 600 more. For this price, the limper is going to call. Most likely half the players in the casino will also call. I don't think you want that with AQ off in middle position. Wouldn't about 3500 - 5000 be better so their pot odds are a whole lot worse. BTW, I also think you fold here to a 3-bet since AQ off should be pretty low in your range and does not even have enough outs against AK+ and QQ+. With the SPR already getting low, I doubt there will be many light 3-bets to worry about. Your 2K sizing might be about right vs 300/600 and no limper. With that extra 1200 in the pot, I just cannot see anything less than 3.5K. In fact, with a limper, I think you need even more because limpers are going to call unless they are facing a pretty damn big bet. As played, you got a bolated pot vs 4 players with a hand that does not play especially well vs 4 opponents. You were fortunate to get such a clean flop. I have mixed feelings about the check. If someone is very aggressive and likely to stab, a plan to check raise has merit. Planning to slow play this seems pushy due to the large number of players, but at least only the kings are truly scary. Problem is that in 5-way action, some pretty funky hands are probably out there. You can go busto vs some trash like J4s simply because you gave a free card. At least make that player call a bet and earn the suck out. With this ideal flop and low SPR and 4 callers, it just seems like you want to bet in whatever way will get all your chips in without blasting everyone out of the water. Why not 6K flop and shove turn?

Patience grasshopper. You have to allow yourself to get bluffed sometimes brother. Hero calls are usually zero calls. Don't level yourself and talk yourself into bad decisions. You got this.

One of his worst surely. Not only was his read wrong, but it doesn't matter if you are a "non-believer" when you are beat by Ace high 7 kicker. Not to mention he raised just above the minimum preflop and the callers were button and blind defending. Their ranges were the entire deck. I watch a lot of poker vloggers and they all have these moments that have me saying "wtf are you doing" on repeat. On very rare occasion they actually do pick off a bluff, but 95% of the time they are punting. This could be the most blatantly obvious of them all.

I feel like the jam on the river with A9 two pair was fine, if you had OJ, 78 suited, KJ of diamonds, other diamond draws all missed so there's a lot of hands you'd want to bluff with too for that size. So many people would put you on a busted draw there and likely hero call, just too bad that guy didn't.

For everyone being VERY critical of Ethan. Yes there were some bad plays in this vlog. But at least he is being transparent and putting them in the vlog. Many many vloggers leave their mistakes out of the video or edit them out to make themselves appear an amazing player. Ethan is open and honest with his play and is growing as a poker player and is EXTREMELY successful for only having played a few years.

Hi Ethan, that A6 hand is a pure punt. I've learned this over time, that is, put your opponent on a hand. yeah people do bluff, but sometimes it's okay to let go before committing too much on a pot on a bad hand.

Love the videos man! I love the tournament’s getting mixed in! I feel u hav gotten a little extra aggro lately, lol, but u r legend at this point…..so keep doing ur thing man! Big fan 👍🤙🙏🙌

How is J7 the best possible straight on a A91086 board? QJ?

Big folds are just as important as a big call. Chips saved are more important in some spots as chips win. Your game has come so far since I started watching. If in doubt, throw them out. Sometimes you just have to believe the story, no matter how unbelievable it is.

You can’t fold it seems. Sometimes your read is correct, but more often you’re too stubborn and wrong. Good players will take advantage of you because of your tendency to be so sticky. Do you have a poker coach?

Great content. You might consider strategies beyond reckless abandon though.

Love the tourney vids!

Buddy you said it yourself sometimes weather it is the right one wrong move sometimes in the grand scheme of what your trying to achieve folding is potentially the best play even if it turns out in the moment it was wrong like I said long terms it's the right one to make and take your momentum going into the restart after break. However i do am very happy to see that you seemed to be in good spirits after your last video posted,I was a little worried about you but I can tell that you are going to be absolutely more than ok and make good bbn decisions and cards will follow you that way buddy!

I think if you tightened up your punts with only Ace high hands you would be super solid. It's easier said than done but you played great other than that. Always rooting for you!!

Love the clock 👍

Bummer man I was really hoping you would be right on that ace high hand, but in a tournament most players just don't bluff. Also he was in bb with a good price to call the flop if anyone had an 8 it would of been him, so ya not a great time to make the stand with ace high.

Did the guy with J 8 wave his hand in the air to call for a fair catch of your punt with Ace High?🤣🤣🤣 Trying to over think a hand like a pro,just cost you at least a min cash!

for the hand at 10:53 do you per chance remember what the opponent had? snap calling on his part makes believe he had two pair possibly one pair suited... not 100-% sure though

You should step back at Jack and nine of diamond Ace and six of heart Do you think so ?

Aq kq hand was odd.. usually only being called by huge draws.. or things that have u crushed.. odd Allin on flop

the AQ against the KQ call is not close like you say, obvious fold with stack sizes and early on like you said

That 888 hand was such a bad punt. Haha

Congrats on becoming a resident

The dude calls your River, check jam with just Top Pair, mediocre kicker? Damn if he didn't know it was Rampage.

It’s ok boys. We all watch his videos so he can punt more.

Hey Ethan dont beat yourself up too much over that hand. There are some busted draws here. Hands like T9 or K3c. These hands picked up equity on the turn which allows him to keep barrelling. Altho, if he was bluffing with a small pocket pair like 33, which ppl sometimes do on paired boards, the problem is you don't beat that at showdown. For that reason mayb hero with your 77 & 66 and fold your A highs.

Hi Ethan, how are you? I ho p e you’re well and doing great. Well, it seems like the fist buy o n the tournament is no good. I hope the second bullet is much better. Nice double up on pocket eights. Geez, A6 was a sure punt. The next hands weren’t very good either. Well there goes the second bullet. Better luck next time. Sorry you’re out of the tourney. Ciao🌹
