$200 to $2,650 at $1/2 NL! - Poker Vlog #25 

I wish I could 🙃

I was there!!!!!

@@bond343 Awesome! How'd you do?

@@HuggiePoker Had a Ton of Fun!! Was stuck about 1k but then tripled with 44 when i hit a set (knew it was gonna hit cuz Rampage was in the house!!) Made a nice lil $200 ish profit.

@@bond343 Nice job!

I wish all seasons could be this good! 😄

When he said the Kd killed his action too!…why don’t I run like this ever

He played terribly imo. How do you make it $200 w A10 when UTG raises to $45? I wish I played in games this bad, I’d buy a new house.

@@michaelcarrero1091 yeah up against AK and got super lucky. Otherwise the night would have went the other way

you haven't played much live then. I've seen people play really BAD and have a run like this. Usually runs like THIS require you to play really bad.

Thanks, Jim! Sometimes it's not about winning the most, but about losing the least!

Hope you get it soon! Thanks, dude!

lmao slow down. it was on session hahah

​@@hurlee he's broke now its been a month 🤣🤣

Twice in the same session! 😂

Glad you liked it, Anthony, thanks for watching! And yeah, it's always a nice feeling when you get some run good.

Hey man, I really appreciate that! It's always nice to hear when people like these videos. Thanks for subscribing, and I'll definitely putting out more of these! One per week is the goal. 🙂

Hey Parker, glad you like the vlog! I had someone else suggest the same, so I'll consider it. It's admittedly hard to find extra time for more frills when editing videos between other aspects of life (work, family, etc.), so I can't promise that I'll get to it soon, but I'll see what I can do. 🙂

Thanks! And yeah, this session was one hell of a heater I was on.

Hey, thanks for watching and for the sub! Their live stream is my favorite as well, love the action, the players, and the announcers.

@@HuggiePoker congrats on hitting 1k subs!

Thank you! Can hardly believe it!

Awesome, thanks for the sub! I should actually be there on the 22nd, maybe I'll see you there.

Oh my gosh, that's awesome, thanks for checking them out! I'll be there Tuesday night, so I'll see you if you'll be there that night. I'm handing out some stickers for the vlog if you want one as well. 😄

Thanks, Jauron!

I'd also say that the 1/3 game at The Lodge is lot tougher than the 1/2 game. There are some solid regs that area always there.

That's too bad man! I'm sure I'll bump into you in February sometime. I'll save you a sticker if you want one!

Yeah, I've come to realize that. I had one really good 1/3 session, one really bad one, and a couple in between.

Thanks, buddy!

Nice win!

Thanks, man! Yeah, straddles definitely make things interesting. Having people willing to gamble with 3-high helps with that too. 😄

So glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching. 🙂

Yes, I did! Fingers crossed for another one of those in the near future!

@@HuggiePoker favorite poker vlog!! Keep up the good work. If your ever at mohegan sun give a shout out, would love to play with you.

@@chrisrodgers429 That's awesome of you to say, Chris! I definitely will!

The games in Texas are renowned for their action. Big raises, re-raises, and many callers to a flop are very common around these parts.

@@HuggiePoker Thank you for the response.

Haha, I did have quite a few favorable sessions recently! My most recent live stream though... not so much! 😞

Best hand in poker! 😂

I’m looking at a guy at 2-5 table right now with 5,000$ in chips

Thanks, Mark! I've noticed I have a tendency to play tighter earlier and loosen up more as I get a bigger stack. I guess I just shift my play as the table dynamic changes. Interestingly, some of the hands you saw me raise in this episode, I actually folded the same hand earlier in the session. You're absolutely right about not getting married to hands, I think the best example might have been either my QQ or Q8 lay down from this session. I'm working on getting better at folding instead of trying to hero call everything. 🙂

@@HuggiePoker dynamics of the table definitely play a big role on what you can play preflop profitably for sure as well, just with a little more added variance. Once you know your opponents I can definitely understand opening up some of you know you're gonna get someones stack when you do hit.

What are you talking about? K9os is not a good hand to open with?

Thanks, Mike!

Me too! 😉

Thanks for the sub! Always appreciate comments & feedback on the vlog!

Thanks, Tom!

Welcome, Jay! Glad you're enjoying them!

Hey, thanks for watching! I can help explain some of those terms now. Wet board = coordinated cards in either suit or rank (or both). For example, QJ7 w/ 2 spades would be a wet flop since there is both a possible straight draw & a possible flush draw. A flop like like JT9 all hearts would be *very* wet. Dry board = the opposite of a wet board. Q72 rainbow would be very dry since there are no straight draws and no flush draws. Under the gun (UTG) = the first player to act. There are names for all positions at the table. At a 9-handed table w/ the button at seat 1, the seats would be named: button, small blind (SB), big blind (BB), under the gun (UTG), UTG+1 (or just +1), UTG+2 (+2), middle position (MP), lojack (LJ), hijack (HJ), & cutoff (CO). A straddle is when someone essentially chooses to pay an extra blind that must be at least double the previous blind or straddle, but it allows them to have the last action. The card room I play at only allows straddles to go clockwise from the BB, but some places let you straddle from anywhere or the button specifically. I don't really know how those work since I've never seen them.

That's awesome, congrats! What stakes?

Nice catch, I misspoke there! 🙂

Wish this could happen all the time! 🤣

No doubt! 😂🤞

Hey J B, thanks for the sub! I'm just a big BTTF fan. My wife found it on Etsy and got it for me as a gift!

@@HuggiePoker Thanks. That's super sweet of your wife. Also a fan of the movies. Super cool coin. Do you think using the coin affects how people see you on the table - meaning, does it give away you may not be a rec player, or are these coins on the table common? I guess if I think about it you already have a camera which would be a bigger tip off. Thanks for the content.

@@skuljind Haha, yeah, I would expect the camera has more of an impact than anything. I've definitely had people play back at me cause they want to "make the vlog".

I ran hot as hell this session, absolutely. 😄

@@HuggiePoker I can only wish the same for me one day lol

@@dL_GordoNN I hope so!

Thanks, man. Love having you as part of the community! Getting so close to 1k I can taste it. 😉

Interesting you say that. I used to have that on earlier sessions relating to nerves/excitement/etc. As I've warmed up to the game again over the past few months, I don't think my hand is shaking for any of those reasons. I honestly didn't even notice it shaking in this session, so I'm assuming it was probably just the way I was leaning on my arm or something along those lines.

@@HuggiePoker Thanks for the quick reply! Just started watching you, great video and enjoy watching how you play, keep the vids coming!

Glad you're enjoying them, thanks for watching!

They do that at the places I've played at in Texas, not sure if they do that everywhere around here though.

They do it at games where there is no rake. There is no legal take in Texas.

Thanks, Durag!

😂

Thanks, Rod!

The poker clubs in Texas charge a membership fee (daily or monthly, typically) as well as an hourly fee for the seat. This is because taking a rake from a pot is illegal here, instead you're paying to be a member of a club.

@@HuggiePoker a monthly fee AND an hourly rate!?!? How much?

If Rampage can do it, I can too I guess!

Welcome, glad to have you!

Haha, you're right, I forgot to flip the video after recording it! 😅

I don't buy that for a second, but I'll take it! 🤣

What if you're getting a good price though? 🙂

If I'm raising hands that aren't aces, then I'm definitely raising when I do have aces as well. Not allowing your opponents to know what you're raising is an important part of being successful as an aggressive player.

Yes tip better

Realize these vloggers are cheap tipper

As long as the dealer is giving me some money back when I lose a big pot, I'm ok with this. $10 is plenty
