About this episode
One of the world’s most popular poker vloggers, Brad Owen decided to take a shot at a massive high-stakes cash game in the famous Bobby’s Poker Room inside Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel & Casino. Does Brad Owen hate money though because in this hand, Brad decides to triple barrel bluff against a somewhat loose and splashy opponent. Will Brad get the bluff through or will his opponent catch him with his hand in the cookie jar and leave Brad tilted and stuck for thousands of dollars? When playing very deep stacked poker in cash games or tournaments, you should make your preflop 3-bets and squeezes larger. This forces your opponents into difficult spots preflop and prevents them from getting the right implied pot odds to call. The same applies when you will be playing a poker hand out of position either on the flop, turn, and river. 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 765,000 subscribers.

Since 2022, Brad has played on over 29 live streamed cash games and has lost over $180,000. The Bellagio poker room is a stylish 7,000 square feet space that houses 40 tables and two high limit areas, the most prominent of which is the Legends Room – an exclusive two-table enclave named to honor poker’s greatest players. This room was previously known as Bobby’s room, named after the legendary poker player Bobby Baldwin. Preflop: Villain 1 raises from under the gun to $200 with K9 of spades and Villain 2 calls from the hijack with a mystery hand. Brad decides to squeeze & 3-bets to $1,400 from the small blind with AQ offsuit. Villain 1 likes his suited king and calls, while Villain 2 folds and they head to the flop. Flop – 8c 5h 3c Brad completely misses the flop and is left with just two overcards and a backdoor straight draw to the wheel. However, he continues his preflop aggression by firing a continuation bet of $1,400. The villain decides to float the flop out of position with his own two overcards and a backdoor straight draw. Turn – Kh: Despite the king of hearts on the turn not improving Brad and leaving him with just one overcard, it is a good card for his overall range. He fires a second barrel of $3,500. The villain has turned the best card in the deck, as he has now made top pair. He calls Brad’s bet, and they head to the river. River – 4c: A few straights come in on the 4 of diamonds river and Brad must decide whether to give up on his bluff or not. He can either check or put his opponent to the ultimate test by shoving all in for their remaining $8,250. What will the OG poker vlogger do? Stay tuned until the end of this poker video to find out!
