Grinding the Main Event With $90,000 for FIRST!| Poker Vlog  

Folding does suck granted, but sometimes it's the hands you fold that get you to the final table.

Man seeing the pain in your eyes that last 10 seconds of your video breaks my heart dude! I see the passion and when you work hard and come close like you did I know it hurt. Just stay focused Ethan you got another one coming for sure

Quit taking so many risks when you have a big stack. It's fine to be a luck box with a short stack because that's when you're supposed to take risks. When you have an above average stack tighten up and wait for better spots. You have enough experience to know when you're likely beat, now you need to learn to lay those freaking hands down!

"I really don't think anyone is going to go all in as a bluff on the river here, ever" *calls with pocket 5s

Ethan, I'm grateful when you show the bad with the good. it does show that semi-pros and pros don't always win and sometimes it's the odds of drawing what you need. It's entertaining when we see you sun running. this shows that even playing well doesn't always equate to winning. Keep your chin up heading into the next one man. Get back on the RAMPAGE!

In my experience an UTG limp jam is nearly always AA or KK (personally I hate this strategy). I know you were getting decent enough odds to call but that's always a fold for me with AJ. If I'm holding AK then it's an excruciating call but AQ and lower it's a fold for me. Besides, love the vlog man. Keep crushing it 👊🏻

Ethan in the morning! Always bringing 🔥! Always entertained. Can't wait to see what's next. Closes out my week with amazingness!

Poker can be a brutal grind at times. Like you said, you put in major hours and to come up just short is painful, yet the cold hard reality of tournament poker. Definetly a rollercoaster session, loved to see the start and the comeback! Wish you had locked your stack up after flopping the str8 w J10. Chasing the next hand w the 89sp cost you at a time when blinds were on the rise and you needed those chips badly. But you were so amped about that big win, it was an easy chase. Happens Adversity builds character Ethan and the way I see it, your should be playing poker at this level and higher for the rest of your life. These are still the Early years. As you gain more experience in these difficult situations, your gonna gain the wisdom and sound decision making that’s gonna propel you to dozens more deep runs. Even tho a little disappointing, Never forget how Blessed you are to be living the life you do. You inspire so many of us to chase and live our own dreams. No matter what happens, keep your light Shining man 🌟You got this 💪

appreciate you putting up videos. you were super tired in the video but still show us your journey . thank you.

Hope you're having a great day Ethan. Wishing you even more luck than you already have, keep grinding it out there!

respect the honesty in showing the good and the bad hands, that’s life for a poker player, you can’t always make the right decision

Thanks for the great example ! We love sweating with you and all your hands! I won 2 tournaments since watching you!! Thanks Ethan!

It’s crazy how many poker pros there are in the comments. Didn’t realize how many people I’ve never even heard of are more disciplined and better than Ethan. 😂 Man, and here I was thinking what Ethan has accomplished was amazing.

Not your best day on the felt. Balancing survival and aggression would benefit your game. You call off way too light in spots that put a lot of chips at risk. Also, Limp shoves are almost always AA in tourneys.

When u have so many chips it's ok to slow down and fold some or wait for great hands

WoW that’s some session right there,your attitude towards poker is what I find amazing,keep grinding man,rain & sunshine joy & pain

i'd settle for have that run good you've been riding lately!!!!!! amazing run man enjoy it!!!!

Insane run. Hang in there Ethan. We really enjoy your content.

11:11 TURN . BINK. FULL HOUSE. LETS GO

Keep on smiling big dawg. You’ll get that diamond ring soon enough! I’m proposing to my girlfriend this weekend so at least someone’s getting a diamond ring 😅

great episode!.. like that you didn’t spoil the outcome in title of vlog… towards the end of the 30 mins, was hoping there might be a part 2

Tournament Vlog always great and winning diamond ring will be great for collection.

That 98 of spades hand where you were on a spade draw on the turn....when the club flush draw completes on the river I think you have a shot at getting Ax to fold with a shove on the river......

Love me some Rampage in the middle of my day! Great stuff!

I have high hopes for you this coming WSOP season.

One of your best vlogs so far! Keep 'em coming!

I loved the Parrot Farm when I was there in December. Beautiful place!

Hey Ethan, I do appreciate your game play as you take the risks the rest of us don't have the balls to do. Love seeing all the results.

That 89ss hand was such a good candidate to bluff the river by shipping it. Turn your pair into a bluff. Many draws get there including the flop flush draw. You don’t have much showdown value.

Well the upside of dusting off nearly 400k @ 2500/5000 blinds is you would of got coolered for said amount on the AK last hand vs. AA

My first relatively large buy in online tourney in the money, someone limp reraised me and I had QQ. I swear I almost folded but then just decided to go with it. Ofc it was AA. It’s always AA. You’ve been playing poker long enough to know a limp jam is AA.

Awesome Ethan. Don't feel so bad bro. You've had better days and it'll get way better for sure. I always enjoyed your vlogs and it's extremely entertaining. Keep charging ahead and as always... you're one of my favorite poker vloggers on RU-vid. Thanks for being you.

Dude that sucks so bad, I've been there, spend all that time. You'll get them next time.

love the frustration! we have all been there!!! 🤣

Your a good player but to get to the next level you gotta learn to fold, a few small losses are better than 1 big one 👍

I like the way how u kept it 100% not like how all these fake RU-vidrs only shows the best hands... Keep going bro 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Love the fact that you post tournament play! keep up the great content!

“Pretty tilted at myself” 😂😂 a poker player’s way of saying “frustrated with how i’m playing” lol

Ethan my thought on the 9-8 hand is if you call the turn bet I would’ve jammed the river with that particular river. You’re blocking the straight plus I thought he played his hand as a big Ace and unless he has specifically AK or AQ of clubs he’s getting to be in a pretty gross spot for his tournament life. Just a thought. Love your videos though….

Good job man, it's not easy to have enough discipline to run that deep in LIVE tournaments. Tournaments are a different beast to cash. From what I've seen you're a great tournament player and good for you!

that limp jam is aces 99.99% of the time

Love that trucker hat !! Anyone got a link for it or similar paintball style cap ? Love the color lol

Exciting! Some cool wins, but I think there is a definite opportunity for you to learn to fold more. I felt like you gave away too many chips because curiosity got the better of you.

You did good bro. Although you could have played safe a few more mn even if you went down on the blinds. You were a bit rough at the end

That was rough, but was very interesting. Hang in there. I love your aggression.

I hope one of these days u can be player of the year bro good luck

Bubble boy! I felt that punt brother. See you in a few weeks at the wsop my MA brother from another mother!

Yea, I’m happy to announce I got my luck box mystery bag today! Unfortunately no Golden ticket. I was expecting a box, got a bag instead.

“im hoping to be here in for a flip” this is your answer Ethan. You were playing bad at that point and very tilted. You got extremely lucky with the 66 earlier, then tilt on 4 low pocket pairs and then call an all in with AJ off suit. This is not a cash game, its tournament play.. Run your numbers, im not wrong on this. You have to learn to lay down in those spots. You read the hand correctly and still fucking called. Love the vlogs, keep it going.

Bubble Boy... so tough. Ethan, your posts are as real is it gets. Truly the good, bad and ugly. Thank you for keeping it real!

dude!.. been the bubble too!.. it hurts when the whole room is cheering your demise...

Is it worth considering shoving the 89s on the flushy river ? Turning your low showdown eq into a bluff ? Also, your line screams mostly of fd play. Not much you can bluff with except for your exact hand and that's if you decide to turn it into a bluff ..lmk your thoughts on this 1. Cheers

Dang that must be tilting to bubble 😩 keep your head up brother!

"I'm going to be folding a lot." I had to replay that part lol. Just needling ya!

Good vlog. (not being able to fold those 55s etc) What's that saying... oh right, if you cant see the fish at the table, GET A MIRROR. LOL

love this vid man, ur one of the first people who really got me into poker and recently i went to play at The Lodge (which was my first timing playing poker that wasnt a home game) and actually won like $400! Keep up the good work, love the tournament vids

89spades hand, worth shoving the river? Hand looks like a flush draw IMO so seems possibly viable?

Ouch!! Bubble hurts. You will get the next one.

youre there to win not mid cash, so when you bust after playing 20 hours you have to put it all in perspective

Looking like Brady with those rings

Fist pumping in your head. I love that. Lol

“A lot of hours spent to be the bubble boy” lmaoo. biggest tilt isn’t from losing big, it’s from losing when you’re so close to winning big

had an idea, how about numbering the hands, so we can easily comment about it.. like that hank that you floped the nut strait, could be hand 20 - that guy probably had a smaller strait right?

Such a brutal run. I feel for you man. Good luck on your next tournament!

I bubbled the main at the ballys poker open in blackhawk, it stung for sure!

As a good friend of mine said (He was an Olympian) . . "Win a few, lose a lot!!!"

I love reading the comments of people that have losing graphs telling rampage how to play lol

What happens if someone busts on a different table at the same time you do? Do they run cameras and see which hand was over first? or what happens? Thanks

Got my mystery box today - SUPER good mix, man! Love it! Keep the run-good going, on & off the felt!💪💰🍀

Dammit. We feel your pain, man. You're a great player. Don't let it get you down too much. Keep up the good work!

In level 17 when you were hoping for a spade but it was a 7c against the guy on your left, would it have been a bad road to take to have shoved all in to try to rep your flush got there with the clubs instead of the spades? Considering no one was willing sacrifice their tourney life

Sometimes i think you overplay mediocre hands, there are better spots to battle the other big stacks.

Good vlog man ... I like to needle ya here and there ... should've played a little passive some hands and blasted that 55 hand on that jj board where u thought ubwere good on turn

that's the worst feeling bubbling out of a tournament get em next time Ethan 🏆

Rampuntssssss 😂😂😂😂 did I make the vlog???? Lmaoooo

Ethan, that 89 spades sent you on tilt after. Once he pre flop raise you shouldn't of been in the hand in the 1st place but you tried to be tricky. When being tricky you need to steal the pot on a great bluff. After he bet 65k on the turn he was pushing you off your flush draw. Then BINK club comes. That was your moment to look at his stack. Look at him. Look back at his stack and push all in. That river card saved you. No way he was calling in that river club. Snap flod. That was the turning point of your life line to making the $$. Good try I been there before

once you get 4 rings youll be able to make that wsop knuckle duster i suggested in one of my last comments

The A5 diamonds cost you that was the defining hand !!

If I could have a chance to actually ever meet a professional I would have to pick meeting you, i have truly enjoyed watching your awesome journey, thank you for always sharing your journey

Nice run, keep your head up Ethan!

Listening to you analyze a reason to call or “all in” is painful. It’s amazing you have lasted this long. And I have followed you from the start. I call you “ichie-boy”. You make me scratch my head every time.

Gotta start on the day right with a rampage video 😎

Two comments - first one.. love that honest transparent video right after you busted. Felt bad, but it was also funny to watch cause we have all been there. Great video. Second comment - when you are above chip average tighten up and let people bust out. You don't have to call every large bet.

Where do find a video with definitions of all the terms you are using?

Personally felt like you went down hill with that 9-8 suited. Everything is hindsight but personally would assume he has something decent raising so large. After the flop you could assume he has an Ace/Set/High Pairing rebetting into the pot. While middle pair could be good sometimes, you really don't have much out's to improve which made you stuck just calling to bluff catch. Also hindsight you could've read that he was making it expensive to chase the last flush which is why when it hit he checked back assuming it was a trap.

Algo comment to come back to when Ethan hits 1mil subs

Jamming ng with A5 and A2 near the bubble?! Tighten up!

Hey man, FLEX YOUR HARDWARE! That stuff isn’t easy to come by and any haters are immediately silenced! I love your content, your ambitious aggressive play is so unique and entertaining! Love it man, keep up the hard work!

5:45 birdporn 😂😂😂

Good luck next tournament!!!

BIRD PORN HAHA almost died still trying not to laugh bro that was funny

Question! That match you won A7 against KQ. Did you win because of the Ace or because it was a rivered pair? Asking because you said 2 pair vs rivered pair? Sorry for the dumb question guys just want to make sure

Aw brother... Crushed me to see you finish there.. so damn close

You guys missed the best one liner from Ethan. “Suck out city, population me!” Lmao 🥳😆

Omg ethan..Ethan... you had the right read on 55 hand man ..

I felt your rage mid clip. No one bluffs and it's aggravating since although it means they are losing so much value and you end up profiting most of the time because of it, you still level yourself into thinking they cant be fish enough to only bet for value

Don't be down you played pretty well. Always remember discipline. If you feel like you probably don't have the best hand, you probably don't have the best hand. You got to know when to foldem.

bought ur mystery box and there was no gold ticket, i think u forgot to put it in there but that’s ok u can ship another one for ur mistake… lol i got the luck box hoodie in blue which was the one i wanted ty for the surprise lol much love from chicago,, love your videos! keep working hard

With all those hands you showed, i think you were lucky to make it that far. You gotta know when to fold them Ethan. Gl next time though!

sux on the bubble - been there - u played well!
