About this episode
Popular poker vlogger Rampage Poker often finds himself in dicey situations during his cash game sessions, and this high stakes poker hand at the King’s Lounge during the World Series of Poker is no exception. Rampage is involved in a huge pot from out of position with one of the toughest hands in poker to play, pocket jacks! Facing a lot of aggression from his opponent, Rampage Poker is clueless as to what to do next. Will he punt it off with his pair, or will he show the poker world the correct way to play them? When your range is supposed to be stronger than your opponent’s and you face a raise after a continuation bet in a 3-bet pot, you must determine what type of hands your opponent is likely raising with. Are they holding super strong hands like sets and high equity draws or trashy hands such as gutshot straight draws? Some opponents may even have medium strength hands like top pairs. If you believe your opponent’s range consists primarily of strong or trashy hands, then just calling with hands like overpairs is generally the best way to proceed. This way, you are either way ahead and want them to continue bluffing, or you are way behind and can reevaluate on later streets. Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player.

Preflop: The villain raises to $125 from the cutoff with a mystery hand before Rampage Poker opts to 3-bet to $500 with his pocket jacks. After the big blind folds, the villain calls and the two poker players head to the flop. Flop – 9h 7c 4h: Rampage still has an overpair with his pair of jiggities on the flop, so he chooses to fire a continuation bet of $400. The villain makes a very small raise to $1,000 and Rampage just calls with his overpair. Turn – 9s: The board pairing 9 of spades on the turn means Rampage is now behind any top pair that took this particular line on the flop. He checks, and the villain continues with their aggression by firing out a bet of $1,500. Will the popular poker vlogger fold, or will he put his foot down and check raise all in for $6,000? Stay tuned to see if Rampage makes a punt or the perfect play!
