FLOPPING A MONSTER, BUT WILL IT HOLD?! 

Sorry for the lack of content. I went through a period of very little motivation and unfortunately that period went on for quite a while. As I tried to hone in on what was affecting my mindset, I realized a big part of it was a negative feedback loop. Not creating content, sharing my sessions, and being part of the poker community in some small way was making it worse. I tried to get back on horse, and could complete half a vlog, but when it came time to record the audio, I would get imposter syndrome and freeze up. I would fill myself up with all sorts of doubts. So I'd edit another half of a vlog and then freeze up again. I haven't really experienced this before, so it was very weird and didn't help with my overall mentality. I went back to watch my old vlogs from when I first started and remembered all the fun I had and realized I needed to shake this crap off and get back to what I love doing. I felt like a loser for a while, but I didn't have to stay a loser forever! Just clear your mind of all the doubt and get at it. I know it doesn't happen over night, it took me a long while. The feeling of publishing this vlog lifted the first weight off my shoulder and hopefully I keep getting lighter and lighter! Rock on!

Yo!!! Dude I just sent you a message a week or so back asking if you were OK. Happy to see you back on the poker grind and a vlog grind🔥🔥🔥 Really happy to see you are doing better now. The mental game is no laughing matter. Nothing but positive vibes sent your way! Best of luck, hope to see more in the near future!

Welcome back! You've been missed.

Great to have you back, you've been missed, for me your poker content and narration is up with the best if not the best, hard to stay positive all the time . Welcome back Cato

Welcome back, Cato! You are not a loser. Your content is very different from the other vloggers. Please keep up the good work!👏👏👏👍👍👍

Welcome back! Life has its struggles and challenges for all of us. I hope you are finding a way through it so you can enjoy what you love to do. It’s become cliche as of recent…but…just do you! Over 30k subscribers. You have a decent following all things considered…and, not to throw shade on your game, I think folks like the content you put out. Plenty of alternatives out there…but a bunch of us love your unique style and content. Keep grinding AND sharing please.

The legend lives!!!!! Good to have you back man!

HE’S BACK! Only vlogger I got the bell set on.

Welcome back, Cato! Insta clicked on the video as soon as I saw it!

Happy to see you're alive and playing. You make great videos keep them coming.

The beast returns!

Yesss!!! I’m so happy your back bro!!!

I'm glad to see you back. I enjoy your content and I think your narrative style is as good as Brad's or Rampage's.

Welcome back! Love your videos! I had to google to see if you died!? Then I couldn’t find any obituaries so I figured you would be back! Glad you are doing well and making videos again! Love your content!

It's really great hearing from you again Cato. You've been greatly missed. Your expression of the game is why we are here. Don't sweat the hate filled replies, jealousy is a bear. Anyway, great vlog and look forward to your success!

Happy to see you back!!! 💚

Welcome back! Glad you’re ok!

Welcome back! Glad to see you back in the saddle.

Yes Cato so glad you are back, healthy and in the felt!

Great to have you back PokerBEAST!

Yes he is back! Love to see it man!

Welcome back, been waiting for your videos for months!

Your one of the best Poker Vloggers out there! Most are just robot like non emotional who get very boring to watch after a while yet somehow are highly rated. Keep up your style and you'll rise up high in the ratings!

My pirate bullion card protector and I have been in a rut too. Now new vlogs to enjoy, maybe this what I need to turn it around... welcome back.

Long time! Glad to see ya back on the felt !

He’s back! Glad to see you vlogging again

Good to see you back now you're in a nicer place, always enjoy your content.

He’s back lads 💥💥💥

Thank you Cato for keeping us in the loop. We greatly appreciate what you. From a fan of your vlogs don’t feel the pressure we stuck around and waited for your return. Glad to see you’re doing better now you aren’t alone. 👍🏼

Best poker vlog on youtube. Just a little content is perfectly good. Wishing you piece on the ups and downs.

You've been in the Witness Protection Program, man!!! :P

Good to see you back buddy!!!!! Great vlog as usual.

Nice to see you back man!

If I wasn't stuck on a long, ridiculous phone call with my wireless company, I would've have been your first comment. You've been missed for sure and I'm glad to see you back on the saddle! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us tomorrow!

Welcome back Cato! So happy to see you back. You’re great at what you do best here. Looking forward for more Vlogs. Good luck out there

I admire your honesty Cato. Don’t let others influence your dreams. Easier said then done sometimes. Never give up! Just keep moving on. I think you are a smart player and I enjoy your vlogs.

So glad to have you back! Your vlogs have been my favorite ever since I started watching poker vlogs. I watched another vlogger a little while back and he spoke on why you were gone. So I hope things have gotten better for you. Every day, I hope to see your name under my notifications list. It just hasn't been the same without your content. I hope all of your fans are enough to keep your channel going. Know that you've been missed. Hope to see more content :)

Where you been bro ? Missed the action. Great content as usual !

I am much older then you and have experienced periods similar to what you are describing. I really enjoy your vlogs and particularly your honest commentary. Try to reduce your stress levels, you are very much appreciated in the poker community. Please take care of yourself.

Missed the Beast. You crossed my poker mind the other day and now here you are. "Welcome Back. Your dreams were your ticket out..."

Great to have you back

Glad to see you back Cato!

So happy to see you back buddy!

I thought you finally got on survivor and was hoping you would come back and tell us how it went 😂🤣glad your back man!

Welcome back Cato, just want to let you know that your vlogs are great and keep up the good work. Keep grinding as always! Fan from Singapore 🇸🇬

Glad to see you're back!

Cato!!!! So glad you're back. Everyone is saying what I'm thinking. Take all the positive vibes and thrive in your passion. Study hard, play your game and have some fun! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Holy crap, Cato is alive!! We’ve missed you dude lol coming to wsop for any events??

Nice to see you back on RU-vid! Big Fan of the Style of your Vlogs Please keep it up 😎🙌

Welcome back! Please keep up the content

Glad you’re back

Need my Cato fix tomorrow! Where was the J ♥️. Good luck in the future

Hey great seeing you! I enjoy your content and take care of your health!

Welcome back! Was wondering what happened to you.

I like that you show hands that aren’t crazy as well. Makes it seem more like a normal seasion

nice to see another video from you!! Hope you're doing well and we can expect more videos to come

Oh I’m so glad you’re back, Cato! I’d forgotten what it’s like to get into the poker within the first 8 minutes of a poker vlog.

I am so happy you are back.

Wish you would have bought in again. Rooting for you always. Flush over flush *shrug* ..cooler. Welcome back.

Welcome back kind sir! Glad that you’re doing an activity that you love to get yourself outta your head. Being in ruts suck so badly sometimes. Poker, Gym, and beach get me out of my head and into better moods almost instantly. Until you get that session where you feel like 73off are the only cards you’re being dealt for hours haha. So happy you’re back.

Glad your back man :)

I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see you back.

You're not dead, sweet!

The Beast is back!

This morning I said,”This guy hasn’t released a video in a long time” 😂

Glad you're back in a good place. Life happens and sometimes negativity, stagnation and doubt come along. Everyone has to work thru the bad times at their pace and using whatever tools they have. Keep grinding thru poker and life.

Poker is hard as it is. When you throw the weight of life on top of it that's enough to break any man. I'm glad you were able to get through that tough time Cato. @Lex O Poker talks a lot about the mental wear poker(and just life in general)can put on a person. You should reach out to him and see if there is any advice he can offer you. He seems like a smart, straight up, guy. Welcome back PokerBEAST!!

Yes , finally the Beast is back 🙂🙂

Great to see you back! Flush over flush sucks. Nothing you can do.

Nice to have your vlogs back. WSOP started I think. Will you be playing?

I was wondering where you went. Glad to see that you aren't Busto.....at least not your overall bankroll anyway. :) I always love your infectious commentary. Stay with it.....

HELL YEAH A CATO VLOG LETS FGOGOOO

Miss you loads! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s vlog

Welcome back, beast

Hey Cato, idk if you’ll see this because the video is almost a week old now but i was really happy to see u post again. i follow all the major youtube vloggers and for whatever reason, i stumbled across your channel when it was very small & watched it grow & i enjoyed it just as much as other vloggers who have more subs & have been doing it for longer etc… i just wanted to share this because i think u really have a gift for what u do & it can be a big benefit to ur life if u keep it up and stay consistent!! we missed u while u were gone man i even googled where u been at to make sure u were alive at least Lol but dont be so hard on yourself. we support u because you’ve got talent so just stick to what u know & we’ll be here to enjoy whatever it is you put out 💯

Welcome back!

People love to hate, but they rarely like to show love. Put out the content and don’t worry about the arm chair quarterbacks. The content is too good to focus on them.

Welcome Back!

Love your vlogs bro

Welcome back :)

I got straight-flushed a few weeks ago at Caesars (had the nut flush of course!). Flush over flush isn't so bad :^]

Welcome back

You should be a commentator for poker and sports.

Dammm Cato, why did you abandon us? We miss you!! Haha. On the serious note, I was very disappointed when you stop making video.

whoa look at this guy

WE HAVE MISSED YOU KATO!!!

Missed u ya fella

When u coming back to the lodge

Where have you been?

Wait... you are back? Oh man, I might have started a rumor on Reddit that you were dead. Sorry! XD

Did this dude not address his long hiatus

This is how I played all day back in 2016

Now I'm drunk but truly missed u so much dude. Try to contact to u with DM but there was no replies. I understand those negative things u know from games; such as bad beats, or out of things of games. Want u to keep up. Really like your works sincerely. From south korea i'm hr big fan

Wow just makes u wonder sometimes,can u ever get ahead of the shuffle? Seen that exact hand someone had K3 of hearts and i had 75 suited hearts. Certain pots u just don’t belong in.

Yeah!

Ok, nice to see you are still alive, you can't fix dead, lol, but you can fix your head, hey, poker is a tough life, it's not for everyone, especially if you are trying to make videos and you're losing money doing it, you are a grinder, pure as the word, it may take many years to claim success, stay within your means and don't compare yourself to other vloggers who have experienced quick success, set small goals and achieve them, you can do it 🙂

Ugh that cooler

I thought you left poker.

If I lived in the US I would sure be a professional poker player for my living

you need a money protector... no a card protector....lmao
