10 thoughts on “How To Spot A Pro Poker Player”

1. brad can you break down the table positions, i get confused with the language at times, and i’m not sure what’s what, especially when somebody else gets the button, i get lost to the fact.. thanks bud if you have time i. one of your videos.. great channel, and very greatful for your education🦾

2. Sorry Brad, but you are dead wrong. I'm 50, married, don't own a backpack (well, not one you'd take to a casino), sure as bad don't own a hoodie, and I'm by far the best poker player that has ever lived.

3. The sad thing about this video is that Brad automatically assumed EVERYBODY was a FUKKIN guy. You know what every one above you had that you don't? The drive o bet on their own lives!!!

4. Great insight into the live game. Do you ever leave the casino having not played if you can't find the right game? I think I'd find it hard to be that disciplined if I was in the mood to play..

5. Oh crap. Brad got his woman pregnant! Congrats man.
   Take it from a father of 4 and a has had the same wife of 23 years. DONT STOP what you love doing for anything. You'll have resentment over it. Plus it will not hurt anything staying a poker player. Sure stability is huge thing but I'm sure you can make enough to be stable. Have a goal of x amount and live like you only have half of that so if you wanna live like you make 80k a year you should make 160k. If you can't take care of a family on 80k somethings wrong. If the wife isn't happy with that then there's something really wrong. The rest of the money put away in dividend stocks and a bit in savings, just enough to have cash on hand for anything that might come up. 10 years of doing this and you'll be able to retire comfortably unless you wanna live like a rapper.
   I promise if you do you, you'll stay happy.

6. I would say another big indicator, and one that I usually find most accurate, is bet sizing. A pro will almost always raise the same amount and add 1 BB for every limper. Same with 3-bets, it'll usually differ depending on the limpers and whether they're IP or OOP.
   Recreational players have random raise sizes based on their feelings at that moment and hand strength, and they will rarely adjust to limpers and position.

7. Want to hear a joke? Pro poker player. Alot of players making a living on poker is a Beta male. It requires alot of scheming and deceiving, which is a characteristic of a female. Go get a job that will serve you and others.

8. Great video! Can you make some seperated educational poker videos like preflop (ranges in each position, bet sizing, 3bet ranges etc), postflop (narrowing down ranges, in position vs out position, bet sizing) and bluffing (when to do it, bet sizes). These are just some topics, hope you can help me get to the next level

9. Was there for the jiggidies, and now here for your new channel – absolutely love your content and this new format. Behind you 100% brother

10. I was a reg player at pokerstars and quit playing poker for about 7 years. Until I found a very good brick and mortor live poker room not far from my home. The poker room is actually a luxury restaurant that is not open to the public, it offer games everyday. With the minimum blind as 5/10 dollar, sometimes 10/20 dollar.

    The room's most players are recreational super rich guys for example some CEO, manager director and so on. And the amazing thing is the poker room doesn't charge any rake(because it is illegal by the local law, the boss don't wanna get any trouble.) All you need to do is to pay 300 dollar to book a dinner (which is totally not worth 300 dollar) and you can play all day long. The table is full of limper, calling station, and there is one guy who raise 20 big blinds every time he raise. And he sometimes like to do blind play, which he literally don't look up the hands he got. And he raise you every street. And there is a CEO who lost 10k+ dollar every day, and he almost show up 3 times a week.

    Believe it or not I didn't lost one single time in that poker room. My average winning is 30 big blinds every hour. So I quit my job as a machine learning programmer, and now play live poker full time.
    But in order to play in this poker room, you have to make your customer happy. They all know I have never lost one single day in the table. But they don't mind it. Because they all like me. I don't play that tight, I have to force myself sometimes loosen up, play less agressive, and sometimes deliberately lose some chip to other player.
    The poker room also has 500 dollar blind table with minimum buying of 200 big blinds. They once invite me to play. But I am a little bit scare about the swing of the table. I don't wanna play beyond my comfort zone.

    Sorry I won't say the exact address of the poker room. And the poker room is not open to normal pro players. My friend who is a CEO of a company invite me to this poker room.
