Finally put together my first live PLO vlog from The Lodge:

My 2nd live vlog is up with a double feature of sessions plus a controversial slowroll!

your yt voice does not line up with your avatar here... so confused, but will watch cuz the voice overs are smooth

ty. I'm a big fan of Joey Knish. Love his line in Rounders when he calls Mike a little punk and says "I'm not playing for the thrill of ****ing victory here, I play for money, my kids eat". That's always been my approach. I don't need to play the biggest game in the room. If I think my hourly will be better in a smaller game I'll play the smaller game.

My BIGGEST Live PLO Win EVER is now ready to watch!

Finally got to meet Wayne aka DonkFishPoker while playing at The Lodge in Texas!

Episode 25 is out!

Vlog 26 coming your way!

what is sucka dealer?

A dealer that ****s you on the river

I want to say I've been watching your content as I get more into PLO because I respect your commentary and thought process on hands. Also, we're playing in similar games here in Texas, so you're an even better resource for me particularly in that regard. Thank you for the videos!

That said, I find your table antics abhorrent. You are occasionally passive-aggressive to other folks at the table, and any kind of yelling - particularly about a run-out or the dealer - makes me cringe. I'm curious - do you have a good read on what other regulars at the room think of the personality you exhibit at the table? If so, do they like you, or find you annoying? What do you think the dealers think about you? I concede my read here could be poor, and you seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders based on your play and at the end of your videos in your home office.

While I'll be the first to admit I'm not everyones cup of tea, I think overall I'm generally viewed as friendly and keeping the table light.

My shouting "sucka deala!" is done in a comedic way, and perhaps it conveys better in person than you're seeing in the videos. I know I have a vlog coming up at some point where I'm getting destroyed and shouting SUCKA DEALA! and the dealer is cracking up and laughing at me and she lets me get her on camera cracking up at me, we have a good rapport.

But it's all in good fun, I'm not being mean or nasty to the dealers and I don't think anyone should be either.

I will also admit that some will find me annoying, although "generally" that is the mis-regs who just sit there with a perpetual scowl on their faces while wearing big headphones and not engaging anyone at the table.

Also, you're seeing a very limited number of hands I've selected for the purpose of the vlog, so I'm not screaming and shouting, carrying on every hand, but oftentimes the hands I show in the vlog will be ones that are decent wins or losses and tend to include some chatter.

You mentioned my being passive-aggressive, that wasn't something I thought I was doing. Could you give me an example?

Grateful for the response! No, now that I've read this, I know my read was wrong. I was reaching. Let me know if you ever come down to Houston and want to play.

Sounds good man, where do you play PLO out there?

Also, love the Gary Gnu avatar, no gnus is good gnus!

I just moved from south Houston to north Houston. I was mostly playing at Spades, but it's looking like Texas Card House Spring will be my new spot here on the north side. Do you grind anywhere besides The Lodge?

Nope, just recently moved out of Tampa where they didn't allow vlogging and I'm 10-15 minutes from The Lodge depending on traffic, so just been sticking with that location since I paid for a year membership and like their rake structure, the dealers are great (EXCEPT for the rivers), the support for vloggers, etc.

Plus, unlike Dallas and Houston, The Lodge is pretty much the dominant force in the area, I believe in the other parts of Texas the competition is a little more even.

he played often in tampa before moving to texas. i can't speak for the dealers/players in texas, but in tampa he was constantly mocked by dealers (behind his back) for his behavior. players found him just as annoying as you do. some players unfairly mocked because of his weight, he is obese, but i don't agree with mocking someone for their physical health. he is extremely annoying to play with. i would rate him an average to below average player at low stakes (1-2 or 1-2-5) but a fish in any larger game or games that play with multiple straddles.

o rly?

My latest vlog is live with a brand new intro!

Episode 28 is out and we've got an announcement at the end for an upcoming appearance

everythings bigger in Texas including the straddles as we play this INSANE session at The Lodge with straddles up to $320!!!!

Good stuff..

Those tables are always tough to navigate. Squeezing doesn’t work.. lol nothing works.

I honestly think the tight game is easier to navigate. But like you said were all probably picking that loose game anyway.

Yeah, in the insane game you just gotta get in, get some money and get the **** out before you give it all back lol

Vlog #30 is now live and we BLUFF into FOUR Opponents...in PLO!

I was robbed playing poker at The Lodge in Texas, and while it's painful to put out there, people need to know what's going on
