Playing in a huge invitational poker cash game during the Triton Poker Series Montenegro, Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates and Tan Xuan get involved in a massive pot. But has he lost his mind in this $1,500,000 pot? Xuan must decide whether to unload the clip with a triple barrel bluff. The problem is that Cates holds the stone cold nuts. Will Xuan make the wrong decision and punt it off into Cates, or will he give up on the bluff and save himself almost $750,000? When playing poker tournaments or cash games, it is important to protect your calling range. This means that when you call a bet, raise, or check-raise, your range should not only consist of draws or medium-strength hands. You should occasionally have very strong hands, including the nuts, in your calling range. By doing this, you make it much harder for your opponents to exploit you, as they cannot be sure whether your call represents a draw, a marginal hand, or a monster. Dan Cates, also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z, is a 34-year-old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $18,800,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list. He famously won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championship (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022. Since 2012, Cates has played over 89 live streamed cash games and has won more than $14,400,000. Cates has won the most in history on live streamed poker gash games. Tan Xuan is a Chinese businessman from Wuhan. Xuan has won over $12,300,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 150 on poker’s all time money list. His biggest score of $2,308,384 came during the 2018 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro, where he finished second in the HK$1,000,000 No Limit Hold’em – Short Deck Ante Only tournament. Since 2018, Since 2018 Xuan has played on over 77 live streamed poker cash games and has lost over $7,700,000. Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it’s open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ‘Durrr’, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn’, Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’, Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985’, Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman’, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’, Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444’, Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove’, Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694’, Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013’, Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller’ and many more. Preflop:With the $4,000 straddle on, Paul Phua raises from early position with pocket sevens to $10,000. Tan Xuan calls from the button holding 98 of hearts and Dan Cates defends KQo from the under the gun straddle. Flop – Ac Jd 3s:Cates is first to act and checks his gutshot straight draw to broadway. Phua, with his two hockey sticks, opts not to continuation bet and checks. Xuan’s suited connector has flopped terribly as he just has a backdraw straight draw. He bets $17,000 as a bluff and only Cates calls from out of position. Turn – Ts:Heads-up to the ten of spades turn, which helps improve Cates to the nuts with a broadway straight. Cates checks for a second time and Xuan, who despite picking up an open ended straight draw, is drawing dead. Xuan doesn’t know this as he chooses to fire a second barrel for $35,000. Cates takes the most aggressive option available to him by check raising to $125,000. Xuan doesn’t believe the story Cates is telling, so he decides to 3-bet to $325,000. Cates sets the trap by just calling and the two poker players head to a river. River – 6h:Nothing changes on the six of hearts river, and Cates checks the action over to Xuan. With just nine-high, will Xuan shove all in or will he check behind and give up on his bluff? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

Playing in a cash game on your own live stream might be something most people would avoid. But Ryan Feldman, CEO of Hustler Casino Live, is not like most as he loves to get in there and battle! In this high stakes poker cash game, he steps out from behind the cameras and into the spotlight, facing none other than poker sensation Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan. In this poker hand, Feldman bets the river with top pair and Dwan is on the verge of calling that he even shows his cards to the entire table! But will Feldman give something away that allows Dwan to make the correct fold or will this be a huge error by Tom Dwan? When you’re playing against weaker, less game theory optimal (GTO) studied opponents in small or mid stakes live cash games, you’ll often see betting lines that poker solvers simply do not recommend. A common example is when someone leads the flop or turn from out of position for an unusually small sizing. These tiny donk bets tend to come from a very polarized range, usually representing either a strong made hand or a weak, marginal holding that they’re unsure on how to play.Your goal is to figure out which end of their range this small bet falls into. If it’s weak, raising will win you the pot immediately. If it’s strong, you can play cautiously or value raise thinner, knowing they will not fold. Once you recognize these huge leaks in your opponents’ games, exploiting these non GTO tendencies becomes straightforward and extremely profitable. Tom Dwan also known as durrrr from his online days is a 39 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker’s Black Friday hit. Dwan is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Durrrr is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. Durrrr is often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. Dwan currently has over $6,900,000 in live poker tournament earnings which puts him in the top 300 on the all time money list. Since 2007, Tom has played over 217 live streamed poker cash games and has won more than $4,000,000. Ryan Feldman is an American amateur poker player with over $170,000 in live poker tournament earnings. He is the owner and producer of the Hustler Casino Live Stream. Before that, he worked as a producer for another poker live stream – Live At The Bike from 2016 to 2019. Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state of the art live poker show. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more. Preflop:From under the gun, Ryan Feldman raises to $1,200 with Q9 of hearts as Tom Dwan calls out of the cutoff holding pocket tens, and Peter calls on the button with 43 of clubs. Steve looks down at AK of hearts and chooses to 3-bet and squeezes to $6,400 from the big blind. Feldman calls, Dwan calls with his pocket pair, and Peter comes along with his low suited connector. Flop – Qc 8s 4s:Steve is first to act and elects not to continuation bet with his big slick, since the pot is multi-way and he only has two overcards and a backdoor straight draw. Feldman currently has the best hand, having flopped top pair with a backdoor straight draw of his own. Feldman checks before Dwan checks as well with his pair of tens, and Peter opts to check behind with bottom pair and a backdoor flush draw. Turn – Jd:Steve, Feldman, and Dwan pick up straight draws on the jack of diamonds turn. Steve bets the minimum of $400 with his gutshot to broadway and is immediately raised to $15,000 by Feldman with a pair of queens. Dwan cold calls the raise, which forces Peter and Steve to fold, leaving Feldman and Dwan to go heads-up to the river. River – 5h:With just one pair, Feldman bets $32,000 on the five of hearts river. Will Feldman be able to get Dwan to make the incorrect hero call with a pair of tens, or will Dwan correctly read the situation and toss his cards into the muck?

Alan Keating entertains poker fans across the globe on high stakes cash streams with his fearless, crazy, and loose style. Now, Keating is taking his shot at poker tournaments. In this poker hand from the $25,000 buy-in 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event, he tangles with poker professional Alex Kulev near the money bubble. Kulev leads out on the flop and turn with complete air before putting Keating to the test for the majority of his stack on the river. Has Alan Keating lost his mind, because with just ace-high, Keating has no real option but to fold, right? When playing in a poker tournament, and you have 50bb or less after defending out of the big blind, it is game theory optimal (GTO) to have a leading strategy on certain flops that are good for your range. For example, on a low, wet & connected flop, the big blind will often have a slight range advantage since a lot of the suited and offsuit holdings that connect well on these flops will be defended. Again, it is important to make sure you are balanced in these spots by leading not only with bluffs, but also with value hands so that your opponents cannot easily exploit you. Alan Keating is a well known high stakes cash game poker player often playing in the biggest live cash games and private poker games around the world. He has over $230,000 in live tournament poker earnings. Keating has become more of a regular on the Hustler Casino Live stream. He is extremely popular amongst poker fans partly due to the fact that he wins and loses millions of dollars whilst always carrying a smile on his face! Keating has been seen associating with poker celebrities such as Dan Bilzerian. Alex Kulev ‘FutureofMe’ is a professional poker player from Bulgaria. He has over $15,500,000 in live tournament poker earnings which puts him in the top 100 on the all time money list and 1st on Bulgaria’s all time money list. He has 1 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet which came from a $50,000 buy-in event at the 2023 WSOP. Kulev won $2,087,073 for his first place finish. The 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise was a No-Limit Hold’em and Mixed Games festival held from December 3rd – 14th at the Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas. Featuring 15 bracelet events that culminated in the $25,000 Main Event. $25,000 – 2024 WSOP Paradise Main Event – Results 1st: Yinan Zhou – China – $6,000,0002nd: Marcelo Aziz Jr. – Brazil – $4,600,0003rd: Mustapha Kanit ‘lasagnaaammm’ – Italy – $3,600,0004th: Liv Boeree – England – $2,800,0005th: Christopher Nguyen – Germany – $2,100,0006th: Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox’ – Australia – $1,650,0007th: Justin Bonomo ‘ZeeJustin’ – U.S.A. – $1,300,0008th: Vadzim Lipauka – Belarus – $1,000,0009th: George Lehmann – Germany – $750,000 Preflop:Nearing the money bubble of the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event, Alan Keating raises to 50,000 from the cutoff with AQ of diamonds and Alex Kulev defends with 83 of hearts in the big blind. Flop – 7s 6c 4c:The wet, low, connected flop is great for Kulev’s range and he knows this, as he decides to donk lead for 35,000 with a gutshot straight draw. Keating calls with just two broadway cards, no backdoor draws but is currently ahead with his ace-high. Turn – 9c:The front door flush comes in on the nine of clubs turn, causing Kulev to lead out again, this time for 155,000, having picked up an open ended straight draw. Keating calls one more time still holding the strongest hand out of the two. River – 9s:The board pairing river doesn’t deter Kulev as he leads out for the last time with a big bet size of 430,000 with just eight-high. Surely Keating can’t call with ace-high and risk bubbling the tournament? Stay tuned to this poker video to see what Keating decides to do.

Under the lights at the Lodge Card Club in Texas with fans around the world watching the stream can be daunting for any poker player! However, Lodge regular & PokerCoaching coach JWin is no stranger to facing tough decisions live on stream! In this poker hand, JWin gets put in a truly rough situation for his entire stack, and he has to decide if Mr. Kipling is bluffing or value betting. Will he come to the right decision with his two pair? When you are preflop, it is important to think about your opponents’ position and the ranges they are likely to use from each seat. If a poker player raises from under the gun, their range should generally be stronger, tighter and built around premium broadway hands, suited aces, and high pocket pairs. Against this type of tight early position range you should proceed cautiously and 3-bet less often because they are far more likely to have the strongest part of their range. However, when a player in late position decides to raise, especially from the button, their range will become much wider. This allows you to 3-bet lighter and apply pressure with a wider range, since they will be entering the pot with many more marginal holdings. Jay Nguyen or JWin as he is more commonly known, is an American professional poker player. He regularly plays on The Lodge Poker live streams and he usually plays all the way up to $50 – $100 blinds. He also has a popular YouTube channel with over 11,000 subscribers where he produces poker vlogs. JWin is a brand ambassador and coach for PokerCoaching.com. Since 2020, JWin has played on more than 148 live streamed poker cash games and has won over $180,000. Little is known about Mr. Kipling apart from the fact that his nationality is British. Since 2020, Mr. Kipling has played on more than 9 live streamed cash games and has lost over $15,000. In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its poker members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and poker tournaments, operating around the clock. Additionally, The Lodge provides an inviting ambiance with 40 large screen TVs, allowing poker club members to enjoy sports entertainment whilst playing poker or while relaxing in the cozy waiting area. The live poker stream includes commentary from Skull Mike and Slick Rick, who have been long time regulars at The Lodge Poker Club. They provide viewers with poker strategy insights, complemented by a perfect blend of humor. Lodge Card Club has bought San Antonio’s largest poker room, Rounders Card Club, which opened in July 2024. The new Lodge Card Club San Antonio will relocate to a larger space to host bigger poker tournaments and events. Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. Preflop:With the $100 triple straddle on, Mr. Kipling makes it $300 from the hijack with A5 of spades. JWin decides to 3-bet out of the big blind with AQo, and Mr. Kipling calls with his suited ace that is already 40% of a straight flush. Flop – Ad Ts 3c:Both players flop top pair, but JWin has the higher kicker. JWin chooses to continuation bet for $1,000 with his pair of aces and backdoor broadway draw. Mr. Kipling calls with his weak ace, although he does have backdoor straight and flush draws available. Turn – Qs:JWin improves to top two pair, aces and queens, and fires a second barrel, this time for $1,000. Mr. Kipling has picked up the backdoor nut flush draw, so he opts just to call, and the two poker players head to the river. River – Kc:The king of clubs on the river is one of the worst cards in the deck for JWin as now any jack makes a broadway straight. Still with two pair, JWin decides to check. Mr. Kipling realises his pair of aces probably isn’t going to be good at showdown, so he puts JWin all in for $8,685, which is just over the size of the pot. Will JWin be able to pick off this bluff, or will he make the incorrect fold and be shown the bad news? Stay tuned to this poker video to find out.

Poker vlogger Brad Owen has filmed his entire journey through high stakes poker tournaments and cash games. In this hand, Brad is playing a cash game at the Bellagio poker room in Las Vegas with his friend Ping. Both poker players end up with strong hands by the river, but has Brad Owen lost his mind and will he overvalue his trips after his friend puts out an overbet of two times the pot?! When your opponent makes a polarizing bet on the river, which means they bet the pot or even overbet, they are signaling that they either have a very strong hand like the nuts or they are bluffing. In these spots, even when you have a strong hand such as trips or a straight, you need to realize that when your hand is far from being the nuts it becomes a bluff catcher. If you raise here, you will only get called by better hands and lose, while forcing all of their bluffs to fold. Because of this, the best play against a polarizing river bet is usually to just call and avoid potentially value owning yourself. Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 765,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 175,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game poker player, Brad has started playing more live poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live poker tournament winnings are over $990,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he finished 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas. The Bellagio poker room is a stylish 7,000 square feet space that houses 40 tables and two high-limit areas, the most prominent of which is the Legends Room, an exclusive two-table enclave named to honor poker’s greatest players. This room was previously known as Bobby’s room, named after the legendary poker player Bobby Baldwin. Preflop:Ping raises pocket sixes from the hijack to $150 with Brad Owen calling out of the cutoff holding AJ of hearts, and the big blind player calling with a mystery hand. Flop – Qh Ts 6s:After the big blind checks, Ping fires a continuation bet of $175 with his bottom set of sixes. Brad, with a gutshot straight draw to broadway and a backdoor flush draw, takes the most aggressive option by raising to $600. The big blind folds, but Ping opts to just call with his set and the two poker players head to the turn. Turn – Jd:The jack of diamonds on the turn completes a few straight draws and Ping checks the action over to Brad, who decides to check behind, having improved to second pair. River – Jc:A board pairing jack of clubs on the river is the worst card in the deck for Brad, as he now has trip jacks with the best kicker, while Ping has the best hand with a full house, sixes full of jacks. Ping chooses to fire a big overbet of $3,500, which is over twice the size of the pot. Will Brad be able to get away from three of a kind? Will he just call and see the bad news, or will he overvalue his hand and put in a raise? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!

During a $10,000 buy-in PokerGO Cup tournament in Las Vegas, Ren Lin and Patrick Leonard clash in a massive pot close to the money bubble. Leonard rivers a full house while Lin has complete air, but this table talk makes him lose his mind! When you defend your big blind against a raise from early or late position and the flop contains broadway cards or an ace, you should generally start by checking your entire range. These boards favor your opponent’s range because they are more likely to have stronger hands, including the nuts. By deciding not to bet, you also protect your checking range, since it will now include strong hands as well as medium strength and weak hands, keeping your poker strategy balanced and difficult to exploit. Patrick Leonard ‘pads1161’, or Pads as he is also known, is a professional poker player from the United Kingdom. Leonard has won over $4,400,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 1,000 on poker’s all time money list. He has 1 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, which came in the 2022 $1,000 Tag Team Event where he paired up with WSOP Main Event Champion Espen Jørstad. Ren Lin ‘Lady Gaga’, or Tony Lin as he is known in the poker world, is a professional poker player from China, who resides in New York, United States. Lin has won over $16,000,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 100 on poker’s all time money list. Lin’s biggest cash of $1,045,781 came in 2023 at the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship, where he finished 3rd. The PokerGo Cup was a series of eight No-Limit Hold’em poker tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5,000 – $25,000 played from February 11 – 21, 2025 and held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. $10,000 – 2025 PokerGO Cup Event #4 – Results 1st: Eric Blair – United States – $254,8002nd: Joey Weissman – United States – $161,7003rd: Justin Saliba ‘Jsaliba2’ – United States – $117,6004th: Darren Elias ‘arrakeen’ – United States – $88,2005th: Aram Zobian ‘araggr’ – United States – $68,6006th: Justin Sternberg – United States – $49,000 Preflop:Approaching the bubble in a $10,000 PokerGO tournament, Ren Lin raises from the cutoff with A3o to 30,000. After the button and small blind fold, Patrick Leonard defends his big blind holding K8o. Flop – Kd 9c 8s:Leonard flops best with top and bottom pair, which he decides to check. Lin, with just ace-high, chooses to carve out a continuation bet of 35,000. Leonard lays the trap by just smooth calling with his two pair and the two professional poker players head to the turn. Turn – Ks:The king of spades on the turn now improves Leonard to a full house, which is currently the second nuts as he only loses to king-nine for a higher boat. He checks again and Lin decides to represent trips as he fires a second barrel of 60,000. Leonard opts not to check raise with his boat and just calls to allow Lin the opportunity to bluff on the river. River – 2d:A blank deuce of diamonds on the river changes nothing, and Leonard leads out with his full house for an extremely small bet of 55,000. Will Lin just fold to the bet, or will Leonard be able to get him to do something crazy with some table talk? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

Being in the final four of a $200,000 buy-in Triton Poker tournament in Monte Carlo with over $5,000,000 for the winner is the kind of dream most poker players can only imagine. For Vladimir Korzinin and Patrik Antonius, that dream is real as the two face off in a fascinating poker hand. Antonius tries to bluff Korzinin off ace-high, but the decision does not come down to bet sizing or ICM pressure. Instead, it comes down to the month of Antonius’ birthday! The question is whether that month means Antonius is bluffing or value betting, and whether or not this crazy live read actually works! When you are in the big blind and have check called a bet on the flop, there are some instances where the turn card allows you to lead out. For example, after you have check called a bet on a low connected flop and the middle card pairs on the turn, this is a good spot to bet into the aggressor. As the big blind player, this pairing turn card is much better for your range which is why leading out makes sense as you are more likely to have trips than the aggressor. Patrik Antonius ‘The Finn’ or ‘FinddaGrind’ is from Finland and has over $29,600,000 in live tournament poker earnings putting him in the top 50 on the all time money list. Patrik is known for being stoic at the table and near impossible to get a live read from. He is the co-owner of First Land of Poker (FLOP), which is a company aimed at revolutionizing the world of poker through innovative digital solutions, enhancing the experience for poker players, and streamlining operations for poker room operators. At the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Patrik was inducted into the prestigious Poker Hall of Fame. Vladimir Korzinin ‘Gambledore” is a 69 year old amateur poker player from Estonia.

One thing that poker professionals possess that amateurs often lack is the ability to win pots that shouldn’t be theirs. PokerCoaching owner Jonathan Little finds himself in a multiway pot during the 2025 World Series of Poker Paradise Main Event. Little, Tsugunari Toma, and Derek Gibb all check to the river, seemingly giving up on the pot. However, Toma takes a stab at it with a bet. Will I let Toma win the pot so easily or will I finally prove the YouTube comment warriors wrong and they will finally stop calling me a nit? If you have studied 60 big blind preflop tournament poker using the PeakGTO poker solver, you’ll notice that many hands mix between raising first in or folding. When in middle position, this often includes low and middling suited connectors. The best poker strategy with these hands depends on how aggressive your table is. If there aren’t many 3-bets and players are mostly calling or folding, then adding these hands to your opening range is the right play. However, if you are constantly facing pre-flop aggression then folding these more marginal hands becomes a better option.

River – Th:A fourth heart in the form of the ten of hearts on the river means that a royal flush is possible.

Most of Rampage Poker’s vlogs follow him traveling around America, jumping into cash games and poker tournaments where he’s built a reputation for playing big pots and punting in wild spots a little too often! This time, Rampage Poker needs to get paid, so he decides to head across the pond to Europe and Casino Barcelona for some high stakes cash game poker. Rampage finds himself with quads and puts his opponent to the ultimate test for their whole stack. Will his reputation as a punter follow him to Spain and get him paid? Or will his opponent sniff out this value bet and find the discipline to fold? When thinking about your turn bet sizing, typically, you want to use a geometrical bet size. This means choosing a size on the turn that allows you to bet a similar amount on the river, with the end result being that all the chips end up into the middle. Geometrical sizing is often used when you are playing a polarized range, either very strong made hands or total bluffs. To do this effectively, you need to stay balanced, betting in this way with both value hands and bluffs at roughly the right frequency. This will stop your opponents from easily being able to exploit your poker strategy. Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 347,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $3,000,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn. Since 2021, Rampage has played on over 93 live streamed cash games and has won over $1,000,000. The poker room at Casino Barcelona is one of Europe’s most popular destinations for live poker. It attracts poker players from around the world for cash games, daily poker tournaments, and major poker festivals. Located inside one of Spain’s top gaming venues, the poker room is home to the prestigious European Poker Tour (EPT Barcelona) and offers a wide range of stakes in No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE), Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), and mixed games. Preflop:Rampage raises to €500 from the cutoff with pocket threes before the villain on the button chooses to 3-bet to €1,700 with what is claimed to be pocket aces. The player in the small blind cold calls, and Rampage also calls with his small pocket pair. Flop – 9c 5c 3s:Rampage’s set mining works out perfectly as he manages to spike bottom set on the flop. The small blind and Rampage check, allowing the villain on the button to make a continuation bet of €2,500. The small blind player folds, but Rampage looks to build a pot with what is likely the best hand by check raising to €7,000. Rampage’s opponent calls and they head to the turn. Turn – Jh:No draws come in on the jack of hearts turn so Rampage continues to show aggression and bets out for €10,000. Rampage’s opponent calls again, and they head to the river. River – 3c:The river card is perfect for Rampage as he improves to the nuts with quad threes, plus the front door flush has come in! Rampage decides to put his opponent all in for €20,000. Will Rampage get paid in full with four of a kind, or will his opponent think that this can’t be a bluff and be able to lay down pocket rockets?

Everybody loves to see a classic Phil Hellmuth blow up at the poker table. During PokerGO’s No Gamble, No Future, Alan Keating tries his best to wind up Hellmuth by showing him one of his cards on the river. Hellmuth has a set of kings on a very unfavorable runout and has to decide whether Keating’s other card is the nuts or nothing. Phil Hellmuth is in a world of pain, but will he come to the right decision or will we see another epic Hellmuth tirade? When deciding whether or not to bet your hand, it is important to consider the type of opponent you are up against. Against weak passive players, you can bet more often with marginal made hands, since you can comfortably fold when they show aggression. However, if you are facing a loose aggressive opponent who is likely to put you in difficult spots when you bet, it is often better to exercise pot control and check back instead. Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’ has won over $30,700,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 100 on the all time money list.

Brett Hanks defends the big blind with K8o, and they head to the flop five ways. Flop – Js 8d 4d:Keating checks first with a backdoor flush draw and backdoor straight draw before Hanks fires out $6,000 with second pair. Feldman calls with a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw.

Turn – 3d:The three of diamonds on the turn brings in the flush. Keating, who holds the nut flush blocker checks, and Hanks chooses to check with his pair of eights. Feldman also checks before Hellmuth slides out a bet of $10,000 with his two kings. Keating calls with his draw to the nuts, but Hanks and Feldman fold. River – Kd:Heads up to the king of diamonds river, as Keating has now improved to the nut flush! Keating puts Hellmuth all in for $57,400, which is just over the size of the pot.

pokerstrategy #pokergo #philhellmuth Every poker player has it on their bucket list to put a bad beat on Phil Hellmuth and send him into one of his famous tirades. However, it could be something as simple as a brutal poker cooler that causes Hellmuth to explode. During a live streamed cash game at the Champions Club in Texas, a dream river card gives Alex a straight flush while improving Hellmuth to an ace high flush. Will the 17 time World Series of Poker bracelet holder get stacked, or will this be an insane read by Phil Hellmuth and will he manage to muster up some white magic and make an epic fold? When you are in position and your opponent makes a large bet, such as a pot sized bet or an overbet, you should very rarely raise. If you are following a game theory optimal (GTO) strategy, the best play is usually to just call. A polarizing bet typically means your opponent has either a very strong hand, a high equity draw or a complete bluff. Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’ has won over $30,400,000 in live poker tournaments putting him in the top 100 on the all time money list. Hellmuth has 17 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets which is currently the most that any poker player has won!

Alex has over $700,000 in live tournament earnings. His biggest cash of $172,000 came from a 3rd place finish at the 2023 World Poker Tour Lincoln Main Event. The Champions Club Texas High Stakes Cash Game took place on August 8th, 2024, at the Champions Club Texas, Houston, U.S.A. This high-stakes game featured a $5,000 minimum buy-in with $25/$50 blinds and was streamed live by PokerGO. The lineup included Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Jason White, Kasey Mills ‘PokerMommaa’, Alexander Wolfgang ‘Wolfgang Poker’, and Randy ‘3Coin’.

The two poker players head to the flop Flop – Jd Td 2s:Alex is first to act from out of position and checks with just one overcard, a backdoor straight draw and a backdoor flush draw.

River – Kd:Both players improve on the K of diamonds river, but Alex has the nuts with an unbeatable king high straight flush, the second best hand in poker only just behind a royal flush. He fires out a small bet of $300. Hellmuth may think this card is great for him, but it’s actually the worst card in the deck, as he holds the ace high flush, only losing to straight flushes. Looking for value, he raises to $900 with his flush. Alex then puts in a rare river 3-bet to $5,000 with the nuts, and the action is back on Hellmuth.

#highstakespoker #pokertips #pokervloggerBlind vs blind battles are often the most interesting spots in poker cash games as nobody ever wants to give up on the pot! Can Brad Owen crack pocket aces? Well in this hand he does as the popular poker vlogger manages to spike his combo draw on the river against an opponent in the small blind, who happens to hold pocket aces. Brad fires out an overbet, but will this bet prove to be too greedy, or will his opponent be unable to fold the best starting hand in poker? On low connected flops that favor your range more than your opponents, it’s often a good situation to start betting with your lower flush and straight draws. By doing so, you can fold out many hands that are currently ahead of you. A draw that includes ace high is usually better to check behind since you already have some showdown value. However, with hands like eight-high, nine-high, or ten-high draws, you’re unlikely to be ahead, so betting allows you to apply pressure and potentially get opponents to fold their unpaired overcards. When choosing your bet sizing, it’s generally best to lean toward a larger bet, closer to pot size. This polarized sizing represents either very strong made hands, such as straights and sets, or high equity draws. Using this strategy makes your betting range tougher to play against and maximizes fold equity while still building the pot when you hit your draws. Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 765,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 175,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game poker player, Brad has started playing more live poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live poker tournament winnings are over $990,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he finished 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas. The Bellagio poker room is a stylish 7,000 square feet space that houses 40 tables and two high-limit areas, the most prominent of which is the Legends Room, an exclusive two-table enclave named to honor poker’s greatest players. This room was previously known as Bobby’s room, named after the legendary poker player Bobby Baldwin. Preflop:From the small blind, the villain raises pocket aces to $200, and only Brad Owen calls out of the big blind with the 95 of spades, also known as the Dolly Parton. Flop – 6s 3s 2d:On the low connected flop, the villain decides not to continuation bet as he checks with the nut overpair to the board. Owen checks behind, having flopped a combo draw, and the two poker players head to a turn. Turn – 3h:A board pairing three of hearts turn sees the villain check again with his pocket rockets, causing Owen to take over the betting lead by firing out a bet of $175 with his straight and flush draws. The villain calls with two aces, and they head to the river. River – 4d:The four of diamonds on the river leaves a possible one liner to a straight. The villain checks again with pocket aces, and Owen, who has improved to a six high straight, fires an overbet of $1,000. Will this polarizing bet prove to be too greedy for Owen, or will his opponent think Owen has a busted flush draw and pay him off? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out what happens!

#highstakespoker #pokerstrategy #hustlercasinolive Tom Dwan became a legend during his online poker days on Full Tilt Poker, his fearless and aggressive style was on full display against the best in the world at the highest stakes. Now, he finds himself on the receiving end of some river aggression from businessman Steve Swedlow. Both players have boats, but Swedlow’s is bigger! The question is does Tom Dwan still have it to be able to find the incredible laydown or if this hand will simply go down as one of poker’s classic coolers. When playing poker, whether in cash games or tournaments, it is crucial to be constantly aware of your table image. If you have shown down several bluffs or revealed speculative holdings during the current session or in previous ones, some opponents will take note. You should then look to use that perception to your advantage. If you have demonstrated a tendency to 3-bet bluff on the turn or river, your tablemates may be less inclined to believe you the next time you apply pressure, so next time make sure you do it with value! On the other hand, if your big river bets have consistently been backed by strong hands like the nuts, observant players may start overfolding when you fire large on the river in the future. Against these types of poker players you can use that large sizing with bluffs on the river as they are now folding too much. The key is to stay balanced so you cannot be easily exploited, regardless of how others perceive your play. Tom Dwan also known as durrrr from his online days is a 39 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker’s Black Friday hit. Dwan is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Durrrr is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. Durrrr is often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. Dwan currently has over $6,900,000 in live poker tournament earnings which puts him in the top 300 on the all time money list. Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino’s high limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state of the art live poker show.

Preflop:Britney limps under the gun with Q8 of diamonds, which causes Tom Dwan to limp behind holding pocket sixes from the hijack. Steve Swedlow completes out of the small blind with T9 of diamonds and Ryan Feldman checks his option holding A7o from the big blind. Flop – Tc 9s 6s:On the wet connected flop, Steve flops top two pair with his suited connector and decides to lead out for $800. Feldman folds his gutshot straight draw before Britney calls with her straight draw and overcard. Dwan raises his bottom set to $3,700, which both Steve and Britney call. Turn – Th:A board pairing ten of hearts on the turn gives Steve the nuts with a boat, tens full of nines. He opts to lead out for a tiny bet of $700 that Britney calls. Dwan, who also improves to an inferior full house, raises to $7,600. Steve chooses to trap with the nuts as he just calls, as Britney wisely folds. River – 7c:Still with the nut full house, Steve fires a min bet of $400 on the 7 of clubs river. Dwan, with sixes full of tens, raises to $14,000 before Steve puts in a rare river 3-bet to $60,400, causing Dwan to go into the tank. Dwan is known for making some of the sickest bluffs during his poker career, but can he also make an amazing hero fold with a boat?

highstakespoker #pokerstrategy #thelodge Playing against Doug Polk, one of the best heads-up players in poker history, on his home turf at the Lodge Card Club will always be a daunting task. Alex Spencer stepped up to the challenge but found himself in a brutal river spot holding a set. Polk used the nut flush blocker to put the British Bulldog to the ultimate test for his entire stack. Will Spencer find the hero call, or will he fold and be shown the bluff after an insane play by Doug Polk? On the river, if you have some showdown value, such as second or third pair, usually you should avoid turning your hand into a bluff. However, if checking down means your opponent’s range will often beat you, it can make sense to bluff. Hands that contain the nut flush blocker are good candidates in these spots, as they remove many of the strongest hands from your opponent’s range that would call. Doug Polk ‘WCGRider’ is the owner of The Lodge Card Room along with Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme.

Doug calls with second pair and a backdoor flush draw before Alex raises his set of fives to $2,000. Josh calls with his pair of jacks, and Doug calls with his pair of nines. Turn – Qs:The Q of spades brings in the front door flush and completes some possible straights.

Doug, with the nut flush blocker, now takes the betting lead in the hand and fires out $4,400. Alex calls, but Josh realizes he is probably behind and correctly finds the fold.

Doug, with third pair, using his ace of spades as a blocker to the nuts, overbets to put Alex all in for his stack of $25,525. Will Doug get this audacious bluff through, or will Alex pick it off and double up? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to find out!

tritonpoker #highstakespoker #pokerstrategy While playing on the high stakes Triton Poker invitational cash game, Tony G and Tan Xuan get involved in a monster pot during a straddled hand. This is a pot that could reach over $3,000,000, but the players have absolutely nothing! Ultimately, it will come down to which poker player has the biggest heart. Tony G has often said he has heart at the poker table, but will he prove that in this high stakes poker hand, or has Tony G lost his mind? When deciding whether to bet with a flush draw or straight draw, it is important to consider the showdown value of your actual hand. Betting with a ten-high flush draw is a good poker strategy since it is very unlikely to win at showdown, whereas checking back with an ace-high flush draw can be a stronger play because the ace already provides good showdown value as a high card & beats all of your opponent’s non-paired hands.

Tony G has played on many live poker streams throughout the years such as: Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, The Big Game, and many more.

Xuan has won over $12,300,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 150 on poker’s all time money list. His biggest score of $2,308,384 came during the 2018 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro, where he finished second in the HK$1,000,000 No Limit Hold’em – Short Deck Ante Only tournament.

Tony G, who only has two overcards, a backdoor flush draw and a backdoor straight draw, makes a continuation bet of $50,000.

#pokerstrategy #pokervlogger #rampagepokerIt has become a common occurrence to see Rampage Poker, the world famous poker vlogger, punt off his stack in both tournaments and cash games over the past few years. In this hand, during a cash game session at Resorts World Las Vegas, he finds himself playing the board by the river against one of his vlog viewers, who goes by the name Chris. Will Rampage check and accept that the money he already put in the pot is gone, or will he attempt to bluff Chris off his overpair? When your opponent double barrels on a turn card that is better for their range than it is for yours, it is often the moment in the poker hand when you must fold your marginal holdings. This is also true because even if you improve on the river with two pair or trips, you may have already been far behind on the turn and are now forced to call a river bet. That is why it is crucial to recognize which turn cards favor your opponent’s range more than yours, and adjust your poker strategy accordingly when they continue betting on those cards. Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 340,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $3,000,000 in tournament earnings, including a $900,000 win in a 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn. Since 2021, Rampage has played on over 84 live streamed cash games and has won over $1,000,000. The Resorts World Las Vegas poker room features 30 poker tables offering a variety of No-Limit Texas Hold’em (NLHE) or Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) cash games and daily poker tournaments. With modern amenities like automatic shufflers, chip runners, USB charging ports, and luxurious seating, this poker room caters to all poker players. Preflop:Chris raises from the hijack to $75 with pocket kings. After the button folds, Rampage calls out of the small blind holding pocket fives. Flop – 9d 6h 6s:Both players improve to two pair on the flop, but Chris’ kings and sixes are ahead of Rampage’s sixes and fives. Rampage checks and Chris decides to make a continuation bet of $100. Rampage calls with his nickels and backdoor straight draw. Turn – Qd:The Q of diamonds turn introduces a backdoor flush draw. Rampage checks for a second time and Chris double barrels for $250 with his overpair to the board. Rampage calls again, perhaps thinking Chris is running a bluff. River – 9c:The double board pairing river leaves Rampage playing the board as his two pair has been counterfeited. So, Rampage tries to represent a full house by leading out for a near pot sized bet of $800. Will Rampage be able to get Chris to fold his cowboys, or will this be another hand to add to the poker vlogger’s list of punts?

highstakespoker #pokerstrategy #thelodge When playing in a high stakes poker cash game for thousands of dollars, people would expect the atmosphere at the poker table to be very serious. But, at the Lodge Card Club in Texas, was this too much as Llama decides to put on the ultimate ‘poker face’ when he flops trips against Trey’s pocket aces. Will Trey be able to make a remarkable fold, or will Llama crack the bullets and be out of line in his celebrations? Preflop, when there’s a 3-bet followed by a cold 4-bet, the 4-bettor typically will have a very strong range. If you believe that they will only 4-bet with premium poker hands, then 5-betting with pocket aces is a great way to make sure all of the money goes in. On the other hand, if you think they might include some bluffs in their cold 4-bet range, then flatting with aces is a strong alternative option. It keeps the stack to pot ratio (SPR) low while also giving them a chance to continue bluffing postflop. Jake Abdalla, better known as “Llama,” is a professional poker player from the United States. Abdalla began his career playing low-stakes heads-up No-Limit Hold’em (HUNL) before transitioning into mixed games, specializing in Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO). Primarily focused on cash games, he has over $490,000 in live poker tournament earnings, with his largest cash of $90,344 coming from a 72nd-place finish in the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Abdalla is now a regular on The Lodge Poker Live stream. Since 2022, Abdalla has played on over 41 live streamed cash games and has lost over $1,000. Trey Brabham is a real estate agent and amateur poker player from the United States. He has over $550,000 in live poker tournament earnings, with his largest cash of $103,212 coming from a 4th-place finish in a $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) event at the 2018 WSOP. Since 2021, Trey has played over 56 live-streamed cash games and has won over $200,000.

Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. Preflop:Trey raises to $100 from the lojack with pocket aces before Florida Bill decides to 3-bet to $250 from the cutoff with pocket tens. After the button and small blind fold, Llama decides to cold 4-bet to $1,605 with Q5 of hearts. Trey slowplays the American Airlines as he just smooth calls. Billy chooses to fold his medium pocket pair and the two poker players head to the flop. Flop – 5d 5s 3s:Llama’s trash poker hand flops best on the low paired board as he improves to trips. He makes a continuation bet of $1,100, which Trey just calls, holding the best overpair, with a backdoor straight draw to the wheel and a backdoor flush draw. Turn – 2d:A few straights come in on the turn, but this doesn’t slow down Llama from being aggressive. He fires a second barrel of $1,800 with three of a kind and the action is on Trey with his two bullets. Will Trey commit all of this stack with aces and shove all in or will he think Llama made a move with a game theory optimal (GTO) hand like ace-five suited?

Every poker player will have a different opinion on what they believe to be the best feeling at the poker table. Some say it’s winning a poker tournament, while others claim it’s successfully executing a huge bluff on the river. However, most players relish in picking off a massive bluff with an insane hero call. During a high stakes cash game at the famous Bobby’s Room in the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself in a difficult situation. His opponent puts him to the ultimate test on the river with a 3x pot bet! Will this be the time that Brad shows the world why he keeps crushing poker players by picking off the bluff, or will he fold the winning hand and miss his chance? When playing against opponents you perceive as professional, world class poker players, you must assume they have extensively studied game theory optimal (GTO) strategies using poker solvers such as PeakGTO. Expect them to turn hands such as pairs with blockers into bluffs with big, polarizing bets, situations rarely seen in the lower stakes. This is because better poker players understand that overbets force their opponents into tougher decisions by offering worse odds to call with medium strength hands. In these scenarios, you need to be willing to make slightly lighter calls and accept that sometimes you will run into the nuts! Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 765,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 175,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game poker player Brad has started playing more live poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live poker tournament winnings are over $990,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 where he finished 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas. Since 2022, Brad has played on over 29 live streamed cash games and has lost over $180,000. The Bellagio poker room is a stylish 7,000 square feet space that houses 40 tables and two high limit areas, the most prominent of which is the Legends Room – an exclusive two-table enclave named to honor poker’s greatest players. This room was previously known as Bobby’s room, named after the legendary poker player Bobby Baldwin. Preflop:In a bomb pot, six players at the poker table put $200 each into the middle and head to the flop with completely random hands. Flop – Jd Th 2d:Brad Owen, seated in the small blind, is first to act with JTo holding a flopped top two pair. He checks, and the action folds around to the villain in the hijack, who decides to bet $300 with a mystery hand. The cutoff calls while the button folds. Brad then opts for a check raise to $2,000 with his two pair. The big blind folds, but the under the gun player cold calls with pocket queens for an overpair and a backdoor straight draw. The initial bettor in the hijack and the cutoff fold, leaving only two players that head to the turn. Turn – 8s:The turn brings in two possible straights, which causes Brad to slow down and check with his jacks and tens for two pair. Brad’s opponent leans on the side of caution and checks behind with his two ladies that have now picked up a backdoor gutshot straight draw. River – Ac:The A of clubs on the river brings in the broadway straight, but it means that the front door flush draw has bricked out. Brad knows his two pair may no longer be the best hand, so he checks for the last time. The under the gun player realizes that his two queens are unlikely to be good after the action on the flop. He decides to turn his hand into a bluff since he blocks both straights by holding two of the queens from the deck. He applies maximum pressure on Brad by putting him all in for $15,325, a bet that is almost three times the size of the pot! Will the OG poker vlogger be able to decipher this huge bluff and make a fantastic hero call, or will Brad lay down the winning hand and forfeit the pot to his opponent?

pokerstrategy #highstakespoker #pokergo Jonathan Little and Brock Wilson may both be top poker coaches for PokerCoaching.com and great friends, but at the poker table, that’s just business! During a high-stakes poker tournament at the 2024 PokerGO Tour U.S. Poker Open, Wilson decides to float Little’s flop bet with evil intentions. Those plans come to fruition on the turn when he raises Little’s double barrel with pure air. He could get fired for this! When you’re out of position and bet the flop with a strong, mostly polarized range like top pairs, overpairs and strong draws and your opponent just calls, a blank turn is usually a good situation to continue betting. A medium sized bet of around half pot works well here. The goal is to apply pressure to your opponent’s marginal poker hands, like small or medium pocket pairs and overcards.
