An Island Full of Anglers, and Cheats | $100 - $100,000 BRC Poker Vlog #44 

Great videos, def on my must watch list when the new ones drop. Keep ‘em coming!

Dang brother! It takes a lot to understand and call yourself as the fish of the table. You’re doing Good! Self awareness is key to self mastery!

Another great vlog as always

Awesome video!

Love the Angle stories 😂

Duuuude what a session. Sorry you had to deal with that shit! Thank you for showing us though, crazy! Thx for the content man

Surprised you stayed honestly don’t care how soft a game is if I’m not feeling the vibe I’m out of there. Also gotta bring headphones because of the non stop talkers

Amazing content!

Came across your vlog and I'm working my way through your Challenge. I like your commentary and how am amazed at how frequently you shove, Lots of loose players with small stacks.up there I guess. I;m in Texas and its a totally different game here. Big stacks and loose players. A raised pre=flop with 3 callers is called Texas heads-up (LOL). Good luck on meeting your $100k goal. I'm pulling for ya!!!!

Really nice opening shots, and I'm not talking about the planes/shots from, at all. Great angles, good quality too. Your upgrade is apparent!

This stuff reminds me of private games where the choice of what to wear included what holster to use that evening.

out of A and B planes!

19:15 rewatching this. Sorry what’s the advantage of calling out of turn?

My man looking sharp with the hair, shades and jacket! Anyways, I’ve noticed some card rooms just have a culture of generally scummy behavior. Nothing you can do. Also to the $50 tip guy… I’d have laughed in his face then tipped the dealer instead.

excellence

It is your responsibility as well to check how much chips the other player has. And for the dealers, only few are trained to be a poker dealer but can deal other tables as well. If you are going to compare the players in the mainland oh yeah totally different.

the outro is kind of funny lol

Another awesome Vlog. I so understand what you’re talking about with anglers, and I don’t know how you had the patience to stay at that table. Annoying people at a table I have learned TILT me faster than any bad beat. I have trained myself, regardless of what people say, or how they look at me to just get up and walk away from the table with my chips. God bless you!😉

Had this older short heavy-set woman on my right in a game the other day who kept talking and talking and talking. Non-stop talking. I believe she was manic. I asked the floor to bring me $150 in $5 chips in exchange for six twenty-five dollar chips. She started to blurt out that you can't do that or something to that effect and I leaned over towards her and very firmly told her that I did not need her help with anything. She was quiet for about 1 minute and then continue talking the rest of the night. It has been my experience that the players who talk the most have the weakest game because they are insecure. By constantly talking they give themselves a false sense of security. It's probably best to just let them talk. They usually give up all kinds of tells about their game.

Sorry to hear about that session. Not many of us play at the casino here. The game may be soft, but your experience is not unique. The better run games are underground here. If you're into that, let me know next time you're over.

head up

The AQ river fold seems pretty nitty against a 100% donk range

I can't stand when people have their hands in front of and covering their cards and short stacks like that. we just have to keep asking if we can see their chips 😅 there are a lot of people who i think are waiting for this angle against fast players. @1:48 yea I don't think he had them in his hand but idkkkkkk😄

Gotta love the scumbags Sam. You ain't a fish homie.

13:30 You need to raise flops like this. Ten bucks, and they are stations, I'd make it 60.

Tell more angle stories! Its good for me(newbie) to learn!!

Love the scenic shots and edits. The angling is bs.

Hey Sam, great vlog and your play is solid. I love the angling stories, I think that's one of the great things of playing live poker, you get a bunch of these hooligan players. I once had a guy drop about $80 worth of chips out of his hoodie sleeve on an all-in! Keep it up Sam, you won over some sketch opponents in the end.

I get anglers all the time! Fuckin cant stand people unwilling to play the game square. All good bro. In the end, solid play, experience, and respect will weed thru all the snakes and eventually even help to have many of the more experienced dealers looking out for you when the time comes. I got a guy soooo good recently, who tried angling and betting out of turn (all of a sudden) on the river... I had the nuts and called him out when he Bet, like "bro, what are doing? Why are you betting when you know its on me?". He pulls back, I check, he checks... I say "why are you checking now? Thats binding" He then shows his hand lmao... Dealer interjects... Sir that is binding (he had 8s on a 4-flush spade board) he tries to wiggle out and hope ill flip cause he did. Eventually puts in his $40 binding bet... I snap re raise to $250 while talking a lot of shit about how everything he did was calculated (I really give these people the business as far as talking a whole lot of shit... like we're in the streets! I police that motherfucker when I'm putting $$$ on the felt) He tanks and finally calls and I show him the Ace of spades, and tip the dealer $25 for handling the situation exactly correct.

They are all so bad though, i want to go back. It is a shitty "room"/table though. Did you have to miss hands to buy chips to top up? When I went they didnt do chip runners

SURPRISE YOU STAY AFTER THE FIRST HOUR 😂😂😂 LIVE AND LEARN

I get how you became totally frustrated while also being distracted by the table's shiesty playstyle not to "double check" "villian's" total count with a verbal count request before putting, what you think, is a "covering" bet over the line and getting duped into paying out those "hidden" greens. Silver lining is that learning from this at the lower levels will hopefully save bunches when you decide to "sit the apple" 🍎 in the future. Keep rolling with the punches! 🥊😕💦💫

I get the frustration but it’s also your responsibility to see how much he has behind. You can ask to see his whole stack. But yeah, it was a bitch move on his part.

@8:30 mark, so you raise on flop when he jus fires a small continuation bet, which I like. He only flat calls you, you both check turn and river you make 2nd pair with top kicker and gold to 125 bet? That’s a snap call. If ge has a king gg, but he can easily have q10. Anytime hero 3x pre and someone leads into you pre they are on draw, bluffing or trying to set their price. I jus don’t get why you fold. Think your hand thru bro, I’m not a pro but I’m jus telling you my thoughts.

The only situation I think you need to be more mindful about, is assuming he has $220 behind. Part of your job, as a player is to protect your hand and stack. Unfortunately, in that situation, you have nobody to blame, but yourself. Always ask how much behind, that way you have a leg to stand on, if a grossly incorrect amount is stated. Lesson learned, for a couple hundred bucks. I believe you, when you say he was hiding the quarter chips, but that's why you ask....how much behind? The other instances are garbage. Although, I have a question about the mucked hand, that hadn't made it to the muck. Was it retrievable?

Just tell him your tinnitus is acting up and is aggravated when someone talks

A K 4 is in limp callers range?

God that 3:30 hand was played so bad by BB. He has the nuts and there’s no flush draw available- with SB leading to you and 2 other people behind you. Why would you ever jam there? Just call and hope that someone else can call. I think if he calls- you can’t get away with KJ that easily. It’s just insanely nitty way to protect your hand from sets that will never fold so what’s the point in the first place?

no way id still play there

Was that Victoria Canada? Worst bullshit I have ever seen was Canadian poker.

SORRY YOU COULD NOT ENJOY THE GAME. KARMA WILL COME TO OYU FOR BEING A GOOD PLAYER AND PERSON.

Ggs I want to write a bad review of this place based on your experience

Can I tell you about my bad beats? 😆

So frustrating. You should have went to the floor

Why do you make the assumption that he was hiding the chips when he was holding them in his hand? In the video footage, even the camera can see the other chips in the player's hand. If you're a professional player then you should know how much the effective stacks are from preflop in order to get your bet sizes correct throughout the hand. No experienced player is jamming that river without being certain of how much their opponent has in their stack - and what worse hands are you expecting to call when you have a 3-high flush on a paired board? By your own admission you tried to take back your all-in once you realized that the other player had more behind - that's pretty much the only genuine angle in this entire vlog. In your commentary and in the video graphics for this action you state you are all in, and in the summary at the end you claim you were not. So which is true? In the KJ hand, how is it an angle for the SB to call out of turn? If anything, that helped you fold when you had the worst hand, and the SB gained nothing from calling out of turn. If they thought they were ahead of you (which they were) then they would want to keep you in the hand, and if you had been ahead of them then they could have lost an additional bet to you unnecessarily. I know all the regulars at this club and none of them would genuinely ask you for $50 for building a pot. If that happened, it was either a joke that you picked up wrong, or an unfortunate interaction with a player who does not play there regularly. In the latter case - there are asshats like that in games everywhere. If you can't handle that, or deal with players leading into you and/or giving you bad beat stories, then you're going to struggle playing live poker. When you play hands like 95 suited (limped in the small blind) and 32 suited - then get coolered and blame the other players for your loss, it's completely absurd and actually genuinely hilarious. Yes, the dealers deal all table games etc but they are all trained to deal poker and have all been poker dealers for years. I have been playing there at least twice a week for 18 months and the dealers are very good. The game is usually great action and there are a great bunch of regular players there. If you played there more than once you would have realized that. It's a little foolish to make conclusions about the entire player pool and characteristics of a game/casino after playing only one six-hour session there, and then express those opinions like they're factual on RU-vid to the poker-playing community - anyone with a grain of common sense can see how weak and unreliable those claims are. People don't want to watch vlogs about people bitching about the location, players and how badly their session went. It's also not a good idea to start criticizing and insulting players (calling them broke losers etc) when they are clearly identifiable to regulars at the casino. Not only that, but recording at this casino is strictly prohibited and you were in breach of the casino rules with recording this vlog - presumably you didn't ask the floor for permission as they would have clarified that for you immediately. I hope you can learn from this feedback and do better in the future.

You played that Kings hand so bad. No reason A/9 should see a river if you bet flop and turn

The player who grabbed his cards before the dealer put them in the muck didn't really do anything wrong. If they're not mixed in with the muck, they're fair game.

Dude why are you buying so many fake comments

Bruh you are way too passive. You cant let ppl punk you like this. 🤦🏾

Buddy you cannot become great in low stakes playing suited trash and then calling like a fish with lower flush calls. Become more tight aggressive play less action packed trash hands. Simple starting place. 9/5 suited is basically never acceptable lol unless the player types are mostly maniacs, but then again u aren't trying to battle out hands with high variance and make crazy bluffs etc. Play tighter aggressive with value hands and you will man handle low stakes. easy starting point. Great video keep grinding. -Highseinberg

Yoo Sam! Your videos are becoming an essential part of a good day. Do you have any other socials besides RU-vid? Insta, Twitter, etc? Would love to talk strategy/inquire about it. Thanks!

Gotta love the scumbags Sam. You ain't a fish homie.
