I wasn't gonna bother but my girlfriend is here with me and insisted we go out for a proper thanksgiving meal, we went to a sick rooftop restaurant, really nice... and then she ordered the risotto!!!!!



Slight teething issues with my editor still and some slight mic issues and I played quite poorly overall, but a very very fun VLOG to make. Hope you guys enjoy!

Why’d you leave us hanging on the 10/20/40 sesh?! Cliffhanger for sure, but I would have tuned in for the second half even if it meant a 30 minute vlog. Now I have to wait…how long?

I can’t wait!!!

It’s even better because you literally just complained in your last one about how unfair it was to you all regs not to get a seat in that game. I hope you won big! Private casino games are the nut low.

Oh man I just saw this, I hope you managed to see the 10/20/40 sesh, it was a lot of fun! If not you can find it on my YT channel

Fun story about that game, I lost a $13k pot w QQ vs TT all in pre running it once, T on the river. 10 minutes later the game host took me to the side and was like "btw we have a 'first-in-last-out' rule for the newbies, and a fun player might be on the way, that cool?" and I was just like r u fkn serious m8, thankfully I got to stay in the game and get some back!

Very recently a member of the PaddyPower Poker team dropped me a message to see if I'd be interested in coming across to Galway to make some VLOGs during the Irish Poker Tour. It was an amazing weekend with a lot of top lads and plenty of poker. I've taken a different approach with this VLOG, instead of splitting it up into 3 days I've told the story over the course of the entire weekend. Really curious to see what views/retention numbers will look like with a 40 minute video. If y'all could spare a minute to like/comment to help the algo in the beginning I'd be super grateful.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated too of course. Even if it's "I don't like the fact it's 38 minutes."

I saw the QQ hand, bummer to run bad in a big spot like that. I would have been so tilted if they asked me to leave after inviting me, stuck like that! Glad it didn't come to that.

Just curious, how does your bottom line compare live versus online? If I recall correctly, you were doing pretty well online as well.

I was very briefly tilted but thankfully it didn't come to that and we had a laugh about it later.

Last year wasn't a great year for me results wise, I never really do break down my yearly results but I have learned a lot in terms of avoiding the bots and sticking to cleaner sites and game selecting better and playing a 200z table instead of a 1k really good regs only reg table. I'm excited for 2024.

In terms of results, I for sure won more live than I did online. The 3 month USA trip (still some VLOGs to be released) was very profitable, even if I did spunk half of it on expenses. No regrets tho, was an amazing trip with my gf (now fiancé!).



Absolute NUCLEAR heat!

Hahaha I was trying to count it but kept adding more chips to my stack in the 3 handed game so couldn't keep up!

Haha yeah I know who you mean, I decided a while ago I'm too old for the online drama these days. We actually chat a little here and there about certain things. Everybody love everybody

That is absolutely superb. Would have been even better if Gaz didn't mention in the video that it was a joke

Haha I actually made it up completely on the fly! Proud of it

I have returned to streaming and pieced together a stream highlight video. It was my first stream in a while and I struggled with the pace of it, which is normal after returning from a break, so maybe didn't play brilliantly but thought I did okay overall.



Happy to discuss any hands, happy to be roasted for the 66 fold too!

A colossal fold from my opponent in today's VLOG, not to be missed!

mostly just trolling but you do genuinely sound like a younger, edgier, more urban version of him so i could definitely see you growing up in a residential area about 20 minutes drive from his farm - i was genuinely asking if you were from the same region initially but it could also just be my dumbass American hearing a commonwealth accent and lumping them all together (ie I've confused south africans with people from wales before etc etc)

enjoy your vids, great production quality and best content out there IMO ainec

normally only a fan of humorous (slow poker) or lolcow (el diesel) poker vlogs because i don't give af if some bad reg like Neeme raised pre with AT but you're legitimately a good player so in addition to having great production and content I kind of view it as infotainment as well where I can see the lines you take and try to dissect where I would have deviated and whether I should have reconsidered

you're one of the few bloggers out there who i actually think is better at me than poker and that's a huge selling point for me but even if you sucked i'd probably check in from time to time anyway because your production/content are really good on their own merits

also love your transparency in owning bad results, sadly i think this may hurt you with the general population (a lot of people genuinely think Neeme/Owen etc are end bosses and crush poker) but i think you should stick with it as you're growing pretty quickly anyway despite bucking the trend of only highlighting big winners
