WPH #556: The NEW Pocket ACES for Brad Owen!

pokerstrategy #pokervlog #bradowen While playing a cash game at the Lodge Card Club in Texas, Brad Owen found himself up against co-owner Doug Polk and other Lodge Poker regulars. In this particular poker hand, Brad reaches the river with just ace-high in a 3-bet pot and decides to fire a huge bet as a bluff. Will his opponent, Patches, make the hero call, or will Brad successfully pull off another big bluff for his poker vlog? If you are the preflop 3-bettor and the flop is uncoordinated – such as a high card with two low cards – it’s generally a good strategy to continuation bet at a high frequency using a small bet size. In these situations, your opponent will often miss the flop, and a small bet can achieve the same result in generating folds as a larger bet would. Brad Owen is a WPT ambassador and co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Texas, he is a very successful YouTube poker vlogger with over 760,000 subscribers. His YouTube channel has had over 175,000,000 views. Primarily a cash game player, Brad has started playing more poker tournaments since the start of 2022. His lifetime total live tournament winnings are over $900,000. His biggest cash for $152,266 came in December 2023 when he came 7th in the $50,000 WPT Alpha8, during the WPT World Championship at the Wynn, Las Vegas. In early 2022, poker professionals Doug Polk, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme joined forces to acquire a controlling stake in The Lodge Poker Club & Card Room, which happens to be the largest poker establishment in Austin, Texas. This exclusive poker club, accessible only to its members, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including over 80 poker tables of cash games and tournaments, operating around-the-clock.

The new Lodge Card Club San Antonio will relocate to a larger space to host bigger poker tournaments and events. Chaz Gill, known as Big Daddy Chaz, will join Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen as a partner to help meet the local poker community’s needs. Preflop: With the $20 straddle on, a player in the hijack calls before Doug Polk limps in from the cutoff. Patches raises to $100 from the button with an unknown poker hand and Brad Owen decides to 3-bet from the small blind to $425 with the solver approved poker hand, A5 of clubs. The initial limper and Polk fold, but Patches calls in position to see the flop. Flop – Ks 6d 2h: Brad misses the flop completely, holding only an overcard and a backdoor straight draw. Nonetheless, he continues his preflop aggression with a $250 continuation bet. Patches calls and they head to the turn. Turn – Js: The jack of spades on the turn brings a backdoor flush draw. Brad doesn’t improve and decides to slow down by checking. Patches checks back and they head to the river. River – Qh: A broadway card lands on the river, and this time Brad fires a big bet of $1,100 with just ace-high. Will his audacious bluff get through, or will Patches sniff it out and scoop some Bradley dollars?
