What's up poker people. My name is Wes
and this is my poker vlog. Today's vlog
covers a $5/$5 No Limit cash game
session at Texas Card House. This session
was insane! Take a look. This is for
entertainment only. I am NOT a
professional poker player. I'm not trying
to be a poker coach. I'm trying to show
the fun that games I play in. Enjoy the
action. I bought into the game for $3,000
and I'll tell you what I am more excited
about doing the commentary on this
episode then I have ever been before
doing an episode. This game was insane. So
I raised with Jack Ten suited. There was
one limper under the gun. When someone
limps and I have a good hand I just act
like they're not even there. Other than
maybe adding an extra five bucks to the
raise. But I'm not gonna suddenly just
check Jack Ten just because one guy limped. So I raised Jack Ten suited. I flop a
pretty good flop. You definitely want to
bet this flop with a hand like Jack Ten.
Tot top pair and an open ender. I might
check this flop if I had something like
Aces, Kings, or Queens because I couldn't
stand a raise. But if this guy raises me
I don't really care. He calls. we go to
the turn and it's a Queen. So I make a
straight immediately. The only hand that
can beat me now is King Jack. Sure he
could have King Jack but I'm not gonna
stop betting. And even if he were to
raise me I would still call. So I'm gonna
bet $110. And if he calls I'm still gonna
bet the river. If a brick comes I should
have the best hand here probably
something like 80% to 90% of the time. I
mean how often can you really have King
Jack? He could also have a hand like I
have, a pair and a Jack. A hand like Jack
Nine or Jack Eight. And the river is the
Deuce of diamonds. So now there's three
diamonds. He was pretty passive with just
calling. He could have a diamond draw. The
villain only has $300 behind. And on this
river although I was gonna put them all
in I thought, man, maybe there are some
times that he has King Jack and just
checks behind. So I decided to check and
I'm probably gonna call any bet. He goes
all-in for $300. And suddenly I'm not
feeling so confident. Mainly it's because
I've never seen this guy bluff before and
that's
running through my head. He just always
seems to have it. He seems to be waiting
for it. And then has it. So I wasn't sure
what to do. I did think for a while
and finally I was like, you know what, if
you got it you got it and I slammed the
money on the table. He announced Ace-high
I just sat there cuz I'm not turning my
cards up. He mucked and I won the hand. So I guess I learned my lesson from a few
episodes ago where I folded a straight
and was shown King Ten high on a three
club board.
About an hour into the session and I'm
up about $1,000. So this guy joined our
game. Isn't that Mike Postle??? That's Mike
Postle! Right? I'm under the gun I looked
down at pocket 5's. And I just raise
any good hand when I play poker.
I don't like limping in. You'll see me do
it maybe one out of a hundred and fifty
times and in this hand I raise it up
under the gun with pocket 5's. And as
we talked about before, you're gonna see
multiple players going to the flop which
A) means you're in a good game, and B)
means you probably need to be raising
a little bit higher. I could have made it
probably $30 but I flop a set and now
I'm glad I only made a $20. I'm not
gonna check this. I'm gonna bet this. I
like keeping the lead and the small blind
just open-fold so that's one less player
that can pay us off. That's unfortunate.
I'm gonna bet $50 here. We get quickly
called by the cutoff. It's around to the
button who also calls. We're starting to
build a good pot with a set. This could
be a really good hand. Big blind has to
decide. Man I hope you raise this. Nope. He
gets out of the way. Three players to the
turn
and it's a Ten. When you flop a set I
would suggest you just keep betting
almost all of the time. And I decided to
check only because I thought it was
pretty likely somebody had a Ten. Not
because I was like oh I made a full
house,
now I'm gonna slow play it. I just
thought they'd have a ten a lot of the
time on the turn. But it turns out they
didn't, because they both checked behind.
And now it's time to go for some value
against maybe a straight or someone who
slow play at Ten; which would have been
horrible. And I bet $220 and I got raised by the
same guy that tried to bluff me with Ace-high. He only left himself $150
behind. He bet $650 off of a $800
stack. So when I put them all-in he's
like, oh my god I should have just called.
I assumed he had a straight. And we get
paid off with our full house. I think
about 80% of the time I actually just
bet the turn and you probably should too.
Tell me that's not Mike Postle. Look he's
putting on bone conducting headphones!
What is going on? I thought this guy was
banned from everywhere! I'm pretty sure
that's Mike Postle. Me too, buddy. Me too. Where
is Joey Ingram when we need him. Moving
on to this hand, there was a raise and I
decided to call from my straddle with
Ten Seven of diamonds. I'm gonna flop a
pair and a flush draw. Flop is Jack Seven
Deuce with the Jack Deuce of diamonds.
I'm always gonna check. I'm not gonna
lead in this spot. But I am gonna check
raise. He might fold a hand like Ace
Queen that has pretty good equity
against me. So I check raised to $75. The
villain thinks and calls. We're gonna
need a diamond. Let's see the turn. It's
the Four of clubs. Well being that it's
not an over card, I still feel pretty
good about my hand. I can hit a Seven, a Ten, or
a diamond and definitely have the best
hand. So I'm gonna keep betting. And I bet
$200 and he calls. We need a diamond! It's a
Queen and that's actually a pretty bad
card.
If he had Ace-Queen or King Queen we're in
pretty bad shape. And I'm not gonna
explain why it is I decided to bet this
river.
I have to keep some information to
myself. But I did decide to bet $400 on
the river with just a Seven. He calls. I
show my hand. And he mucks his cards. He
says he had a worse Seven.
This isn't GTO. This is what my buddy
Jason Somerville calls street poker. And
now I'm up to about $5,400.
Dude, seriously, I sat next to
this dude. Those are bone conducting
headphones! I looked it up on Best Buy.
Look! Bone conduction! What is he doing
now? He's looking at his crotch! Are you
guys ready for some more street poker?
So in this hand there's a button
straddle of $25 and the big
blind calls. I'm in the cutoff and I have
Ten Eight suited. Oh, hey, look, I limped. I
just said I don't do that very often.
Okay, well, whatever. So we go four ways to
the flop for $25. Ten Eight suited in the
cutoff. Let's flop something. And guess
what. If you watch this channel, I have a
pair and I have a backdoor flush draw
and a backdoor a straight draw. So I'm
what? Never folding. They checked to me. I
go ahead and bet $55. Button folds pretty
quickly. So did the big blind. I'm
gonna bet this flop with any pair any
draw. And now I get check raised by the
big blind. I go ahead and call. But I'm a
little concerned. And I turn Ten of
hearts. I was really expecting to turn
something like a flush draw a straight
draw. Turning a Ten is fine. Unless this
guy has King Ten. And he checks to me after
check raising. I want to go ahead and bet
charge him if he just has King. He'll
most likely think that I have a King.
Seems unlikely that I should have a Ten
as second pair and I called a check
raise. So I go ahead and bet $300. Maybe
he just has Queen Jack for a straight
draw. He thinks for a while. He actually
went into the tank for quite a while
before check raising me a SECOND TIME!
So I call. And we're gonna see the river.
The river's a Nine. So Queen Jack gets
there. This doesn't change much if he
just has a hand like King Queen. He
checks to me and I just check behind.
He shows Ace King and I take it down. On
that River I was just scared to get
check raised again. What's this dude
doing? He's in a hand! Check out my
website RaiserClothing.com for poker
t-shirts, hats, and hoodies. I straddled
this hand under the gun for $20 and the
button raises to $100. The small blind
flats the hundred dollars and I looked
down at Queens. Holy Moly.
Definitely gonna raise. And I'm gonna
make it big. These are the spots in
these games that you really gotta blast
it. And it's not that I want anyone in to
fold. I want them to call. But they have
to pay the price to try to chase my
Queens down. Okay. Let's get a good flop.
Oh, that's perfect! They could call me
with tons of different things. When you
see a flop like this that has a lot of
draws but no made hands, this is what you
want. You want people to have draws and
call you. I bet $450, a small down bet. And
only the button calls.
Now that turn card starts to worry me. He
could have a straight. It would have been
an open ender on the flop with Queen
Jack. But now we just have to start
worrying about two pair combinations
along with pair and straight draw
combinations. I'm gonna check this over
to him and I'm probably gonna call any
bet. Unless he had only a flush draw that
turn card should have increased his equity
with some sort of straight draw. But he
checks behind. And the river is a Jack. I
have a straight, now! I don't think it's
likely this guy has King Queen. He could
have called the flop with King Queen of
spades. But he's way more likely to have
some sort of two pair combination. So I'm
gonna value bet this river.
I decided on $1,200. It's over to the
button and he lets it go. Take it down!
Now my stack's up to $6,000.
Wait! What's this cable? Is this an RFID
table?? Oh, no, that's just my charging
cable. The guy who may or may not be Mike
Postle is all-in. He's at risk for a
couple hundred bucks.
It's a multi-way pot. Oh, look how
comfortable he is! How smug!
He's just leaning back as he knows he
has the best hand!
Oh, he shows the guy next to him. Oh, like
that's okay! Look at this guy. He thinks
it's impossible he's gonna lose.
It's a multi-way pot and on the flop the
guy next to him bets enough to get heads
up. Postle shows Aces. The other guy shows
Jacks. And he rivers a flush. So Postle's
gonna lose the hand.
Okay, well then there's no way that's
Mike Postle. Hey, tell Papi the podcast
is canceled! Look at these stacks on
this side of the table. Man this thing's
gonna flip. And here's my stack. Not
looking as strong as before.
Okay, back to some hands. Under the gun
straddles $25 and the player on his left
makes it $80 to go. But then I look down
at Ace King. You know I'm gonna bomb this.
I make it $300 to see a flop.
I don't like raising small. You guys know
I like going big. You gotta punish these
guys. Make them call you with Ace Queen
for $300. Okay, we go heads up to the flop.
Wow!
King King Four. There is a flush draw, but
I've got trip Kings and I have the ace of
diamonds. I'm gonna down bet a bit. I make
it $200 to go. Under the gun calls. Turn's
the Queen of spades. Man that's kind of a
bad card. If he has King Queen we are in
big trouble.
I'm just gonna check behind and get some
value on the river. The river's a clean
card, the deuce of spades. If he bets I'll
just call. But since he's checking I'm
gonna bet for value. What do you think's
a good size?
I decided to bet $300.
He quickly calls. I show Ace King and he
mucks. This is one of the most
interesting hands of the entire evening.
Two players heads up, building a pot. They
get to the river. There's a check from
the out of position player and the
in position player bets $800. And that's
where things get weird. The out of
position player tanked for over 4
minutes and then ripped it in for $2,400.
I'll show you a pair! The out of
position player shows the 3 of clubs
which is bottom pair on the flop. I think
he flopped a boat and slow played it.
What do you think?
A pair of jacks wins a $6,500
pot, Okay, in this hand I have two Tens in
the small blind. There was an under the
gun straddle and the button raise to $150.
I flatted the small blind and the
under the gun straddle also calls. We're
going four ways to the flop. $600 pot. Oh! I
flop a Ten! I'm gonna check. This hopefully
the button bets again and we can check
raise and create a huge pot. No don't
check behind!
Okay, the turn's a Queen. Okay, it's the
Queen of hearts. So there's no flush.
There's also no straight possibility.
Unless this guy checked Queens behind we
should have the best hand. I'm gonna take
over the lead. I bet $300 on the turn. The
under the gun player calls $300 and it's
over to the cutoff who seems to be
thinking about something. The cutoff
raises me to $1,200. Now this wasn't the
preflop raiser. That guy folded on the
button after the raise. This guy could
have two pair or some sort of combo draw
that he turned. I only have $2,200 and
I'm gonna rip it in his face and I
hope he calls.
I'm all-in. Since the flop checked around I
would bet this Queen of hearts
definitely improved the cutoff's hand. The
other player gets out of the way. The
cutoff calls. I show my set of Tens. The
rivers of Four and he shows a set of
Threes! Set over set on the flop! I have
one more ridiculous hand to show you.
Watch this pot growing and growing on an
Ace Four Six Six board. The river is a
Queen. And they go check check. And he
shows Ten Seven high. And it's the best
hand. Just like every other video, you'll
notice that as we go towards the later
parts of the night
people are gonna straddle bigger and
bigger. And that includes myself. There's
a button straddle by me. A $50 straddle that the big
blind calls. The player on my right in
the cutoff makes it $200. I call with Ace
Jack suited as does the big blind. I flop
a flush draw. It goes check check and I
decided I'm just gonna check. I probably
bet here something like 98% of time. But
I decided to check this time. And I'm
immediately rewarded by turning a flush.
Oh, and the cutoff bets now! So the cutoff
bets $250 I'm done slow playing. I'm gonna
make it $650 to go. The big blind folds and
the cutoff calls $650. That's pretty much
a brick river. The cutoff checks. I start
putting my army together and I bet
$1,400.
Hopefully this guy has slow played some
sort of King, or a set. But he folds. We
pick up the pot. I felt like he could
only call the river if he had actually
slow played a big hand. That's why I went
so big.
Speaking of big. I've got pocket Queens
here in the big blind.
There was a $50 straddle. Which meant the
small blind went first, and then next I
raised to $150. And I got heads up against
the button. I flop a set, but look how
scary this board is. King Queen Nine with
two clubs. I gotta c-bet this flop. I
gotta charge this guy. And he raises me
to $600. If this dude has Jack Ten and
flopped a straight, he's just gonna get
my whole stack. I decide to make it $1,700
and he just insta-folds. Guys you
can't be afraid in these spots. You've
got to put pressure on people. This hand
is the exact same situation. There's a
button straddle of $50 and I'm in the big
blind. And again I make it $150 to go.
Under the gun calls. We get around to the
button and he also calls. We're going
three ways to the flop.
$500 pot, and I flop an
Ace. On some flops I like to check my
Aces, but this isn't one of them.
I'm betting $225 for value and I hope it
get heads up against a worse Ace. The
under the gun player folds and the
button decides to go to the turn. The
turn is a Six of diamonds. Now we have
straights and a flush draw possible. But I
can still bet for value against a hand
like ace Ten or Ace Nine. So I bet $400. So
it's over to the button and he quickly calls.
The river's at Ten. It doesn't bring in
the flush. It doesn't add to the straight
possibilities. But it does make one of
the worse Aces now better than mine. And
the button just bets $1,400. I go into the
tank for a while. I actually think this
is a board I can let go of his hand. I
don't see any missed draws. Mostly I just
see hands that beat me and I let it go.
That one hurt, but I think he has the
best hand. And he shows Nine Four!! This
is my stack at the end of the session. I
won $3,100. And no this isn't reused
footage. If you guys liked my video
