So, fingers crossed, everything will work out, and I need your support more than ever. We're back today in the $5/5/10 no limit streets at The Gardens in Hawaiian Gardens, CA. Hope you guys enjoy the session!

If Poker is your passion then fulfill your passion. Don’t be afraid to try new casinos for a change of scenery during the grind. As a former professional poker player, I changed scenery often when grinding. It’ll keep you sane. I trade stocks for a living now but I still enjoy playing poker. The grind is very challenging when pressure is on. Don’t be afraid to go down in stakes if the games are too tough. I found myself doing that often after a losing streak or a few horrible bad beats. I also got sucked into peer pressure from friends to try stakes out of my range and got crushed several times losing large chunks of my bankroll. Always play within your means and take a shot from time to time to challenge yourself but don’t go too big if it’s something you’ll rely on to pay the bills. Also, calculate your hourly rate and figure out it will be enough to sustain and pay the bills. If not, increase the hours you play each week or go up in stakes if you’re good enough
Wow - thank you for all of your advice and kind words 🙏 I’ve taken a lot of these steps already, but I will keep all of this in mind. I strongly believe in going against my ego, and not trying to overextend myself in moving up in stakes. Thanks again for the comment
Hey man, I usually lurk but thought I'd speak out to wish you the best of luck! We'll all be rooting for you :)
Hey that means a lot - thanks so much for the support
I like your style... I'm sick of watching this Donkey that I'm sure a few of you know named Lex play...Please no dogs no talk about hot weather.. Just play poker and a little back story or intro is fine...I like how you don't take a year to tell us every hand in the book he might have either... Good luck or good skill.. Run well I will be watching and rooting..Oh and 4 those of you that don't think Lex is a Donk then I'm sorry you're a donk 2... lol
Wow!! Just want say good luck to you and your family. I always enjoy your vlogs. Its only up from here!! Peace!
Thanks so much! To living the dream!
You will be a poker vlogger that I will be following often in the near future, I love the way you play and the expression of each person's actions at the table, good luck and good health to you.
Thank you so much - I really appreciate it, and hopefully I can continue to provide good content for you in the future!
Best of luck to you bro! Always awesome to have the support of our loved ones.
Totally! My wife is the best😊
@Christopher Paolino sheeeeshhhh
It can be such a grind, and this session illustrates that more than some of your other vlogs. I like how you also incorporate “unexciting” hands where you fold on the flop or win preflop, a huge % of all the hands you’ll play as a pokerplayer will consist of these kind of situations and I don’t mind seeing some of these as they contribute to the whole picture of the session.
You and your family have made a bold decision, I’m rooting for you!! Thanks a lot for the content and as always, I’ll be looking out for your next! All the best wishes and love from the Netherlands ❤👋🏻
Thank you so much! Yeah it’s definitely part of being a poker player: not every hand and session is full of glam 😂 anyway thanks for always supporting!
Best of luck on this journey! Great video as usual.
Thanks so much JB!!
it goes without saying that i'm extremely happy for you to begin this next journey in your career. you have a wonderful wife who obvioiusly supports you goals and aspirations so please make sure to show her appreciation. keep the videos coming my friend. i look for you every time i'm at HG but never have luck of seeing you. i go early in the AM so that is why our paths never cross. that and the fact that i'm a 40-80 low limit slug!!! all the best to you!!!!
Thanks so much - haha yeah my sessions are typically at night so we’re on opposite shifts 😂 And yeah, I totally agree, my wife is the most wonderful partner I could ask for
Awesome to see you taking things to the next level! Wishing you and your family all the best! It's been great watching your journey so far and look forward to what the future holds 😊
Keep grinding man! RAISE RAISE RAISE 💪💪
Thanks so much for the kind words and support! hopefully I continue to improve!
I think you got what it takes big man 🙏🏻
You’re a good player and I love the content!
Thanks so much 🙏 I appreciate the confidence and support!
You got this man! Keep the excellent content going and the channel is sure to grow.
Thanks so much! I’ll do my best!
Good luck dad. Best thing I ever did was go all in on content.
Thanks so much greggers - I appreciate your support always
Nice vid bro! New subscriber here. I like how you not only show your winning hands but also your losing hands. A lot of peeps that I’ve watched mainly only show that they’re winning and not the times that they lose. I like how you keep it real.
Thanks man - yeah I do my best to show you guys not just when things go well, but also when things go bad
Congrats on the career move man! I had a fun time playing with you at Hustler this past weekend. And great video, you've got a new subscriber 💯💯
Thanks so much graham! It was great meeting and playing with you - thanks for the beer 🍺
Love the chance you’re taking 🎉 best of luck brother
The education and entertainment offered from this video was extraordinary. I enjoyed it a lot, thanks.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great session. Looking forward to some more vlogs from you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much - always appreciate your support and comments
Good luck man! I like how each Chapter is a hand in your session. I've not seen any other vlogger doing this....
Thanks! Yeah I figured it would be easier to navigate for the viewer if you wanted to go back or move ahead 👌
Most realistic poker blog I've seen in a while
Haha I try to keep it real 😬
Love your vlogs, keep it up and good luck!
Thanks so much!!
Crazy. My first time watching one of your videos. I applaud you for taking the chance. It does not get easier the older you are. As long as you and your wife are on the same page, it is worth the shot.
Yeah if my wife weren’t on board, it’s not something I would do
Why have I only just discovered this channel! Great vlog ❤
Ah thanks man! I appreciate it ☺️
Thank you for sharing... good ☘️ on your journey and next session.
Thanks so much for the good luck wishes and the comment!
Good luck on your grind! Wish you nothing but the best!
Thanks so much!
What a lad, actually showed you this hand after going all in and the action's back on you. Wish I could've been there for that game!
Hahaha it was a crazy game! The gardens has some of the craziest action in LA in my opinion
Super exciting news - best of luck!
Thanks! ❤
Love you so much, Brantz!!! Excited and praying for this new chapter for you ❤
Thanks ❤️ love you too!
LFG!!! You got this. All the best in your endeavor
Thanks so much 😬
Great video!! Good luck with everything!!🔥
Thanks!
Best of luck Brantzen! Just keep grinding and may your dreams come true!
Thanks so much ☺️
Good luck bro, i wish you the absolute best of luck fr
Thank you so much ☺️
First time viewer. Rough session, nice hand at the end to save the night a bit. GL, you got a new sub. Keep grinding.
Thanks so much for the sub - yeah it was a rough night, just couldn’t really get anything going
Stay humble and will continue supporting you men 👍 you just got yourself a new subscriber🤟
Thank you so much ☺️ I really appreciate it
Just subscribed, wish you the best my man!
Good luck on your journey 🎉
I'm subbing for the journey. Also this is the first video of yours i've watched.
Thanks so much!
Good luck! Subscribed and wish you the best, run good and run it up
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind wishes!
Keep working brother I’m loving this content
Looking forward to following your journey. Best of luck Brantzen
Thanks so much 🙏
Just came across your vlog and wanted to wish you the best of luck! I am trying to become better every day and play at least once a week as well. I don’t have the means to quit my job yet haha (wish I could lol) but I am really rooting for you! I love your passion, honesty, and enthusiasm. You got yourself a new subscriber 😊 🎉
Wow - thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and best of luck to you continuing to improve and hopefully running well on the tables!
Good luck on the trek, dude! Hope it works out for you. Will definitely continue to follow along on the sidelines as a rec player for now. 😄
Thanks huggie - I’m following your journey too!
First video I’ve watched , content was dope
Thanks!
Man, what a rough session. I really admire your ability to fold and not get tilted when things go so bad. I need to emulate that. 😂
Thanks - yeah, sometimes the best thing to do is fold and live to fight another day. But sometimes it’s tough for me as well to fold, even when I know I’m likely beat
Really nice timestamps! 😊
Well done video.
Best of luck! Rooting for you!
Thanks so much!!
May you be happy with your new found profession! What is important is you are passionate with what you do. Be well and may your subscribers increase!
Thanks so much! Super kind words 😬
First of all, congrats on the life change, wishing you the best. Secondly, thanks for showing this session. Not the most exciting action, but definitely shows disciplined folding and solid reasoning, backed up by people showing you lost the min. A fitting vlog to go with your announcement, still think you are one of the best players vlogging, and now you have the opportunity and drive to grind and push content. Best regards!
Thank you so much for always being so supportive - I always appreciate that you watch and comment, and yeah, I only realized after that this session would be this announcement. I told my wife, “maybe I should’ve just skipped this loss and shown a big win instead 😂” But I do think it’s important to show the losses, so here we go!
Best of luck to you buddy!!!
I respect the leap of faith out of something solid. Same thing I am focusing on doing. Subscribed and looking forward to the growth 🎉
Thanks so much! Hopefully I just continue to improve as a poker player and content creator
Rooting for you! Good luck! Let's GO!!!!
Thanks so much! Lets goooo

Support you in the journey bro. Me myself a poker fan, i hope you make it
Thank you so much for the support
LFG!!! you got this man, will be watching your journey. really happy to see this video performing well. when it comes to the algorithm, consistency is key - 2x/wk will do wonders for the channel. way easier said than done, i've been struggling to upload even 1x/wk, but can't stress the importance of staying relevant in the eyes of the algorithm. nice vid as always, gl on the tables
Thanks Corey! Super happy that this one is doing well, and yeah, it’s definitely a struggle editing in time, but consistency is huge. Thanks for watching, man
You're brave! Good luck! I'll be rooting for you.:))
Thanks so much!!
Man best of luck to you and your wife on your journeys. Hope to seeing you win a lot of pots.
Thanks so much - hopefully that’s the case hahaha
New subscriber good luck on your journey! Love that kawhi clip!
Ahahaha I’m glad 😂 it seemed fitting
Great content!
Your Michael Caine impression is spot on 😂😂
Your content is of insane quality, I'm sure you will get big if you really put in the effort! Best of luck, I belive in you!
Thank you so much! That really means so much to me ☺️
Subscribed… good luck bro. 100k in this economy goes a long way.🎉😅
Very true - hopefully I can make this work!

Great to meet you last weekend, good luck and keep grinding!
Thanks so much! Great meeting you too! Were you the one sitting 2 seats to my right at the hustler on Saturday?
@@BrantzenPoker I was a few seats to your right I think, I paid off your nut flush for like 200 on one river. Great playing though, I look forward to future vlogs!
@@brendanwhite9885 oh that’s right; nice playing, and good luck on the tables!
Nice to see you back on the vlogosphere
Nice to be back and running 😬
Best of luck my man Brazten you are the best ❤
Thanks so much ☺️
Just came across your Chanel , I NEVER Liked Poker for the first time Im enjoying this content & Learning at the Same time
That’s awesome! I’m glad
I quit MY job in real estate to become a poker dealer at a local casino. Four weeks of training, a tough audition and I'm in the box, baby! Should easily clear $100k per year.
Wish you nothing but the best to you and your family!
Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️
Looks like a great channel, definitely worth subscribe, good luck!
Thank you so much!
AWESOME IT WILL ALL WORK OUT DONT LOOK BACK!!! Earned a like and sub!!!
Thanks! I’ll do my best!
New sub here! I love how relatable your commentary is :), I too would love to quit my engineering job to play poker full time. Cheers.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Loved the video and subscribed!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Subbed within the first 2 mins of this vid. Let's help this man achieve his dream!
Ayyy! Thank you so much!
Ah I love waking up to a Brantzen vid in my feed.
Actually if you pause right at 08:27, I think the man walking in the upper portion of the screen is none other than Sleve McDichael, retired MLB player.
Loooool
🤣
*Profits on 90+% of videos
*Goes full time on poker
*Immediately loses money 😭
Good luck, dude! You're one of the highlights of my week. I've been watching since your third or fourth video, and it's been a lot of fun to follow your story!
Ahahahaha couldn’t shy away from posting my loss, but 😂 yeah bad timing
Good luck in life bro. I'll be here watching
Thanks so much 🙏
Best of luck man chase the dream you got this 💪🏼!!!!
Thanks so much! I’ll do my best!
Best of luck, run it up!!!
Thank you thank you!
Wishing you the best!
Thanks so much!
I've been listening to that mad world song lately, so funny you put that song clip in
Ahahaha so great 😂
Good luck bro I respect this💯
Thanks!
I love that you show your mistakes as well! It really makes for better learning as a viewer!! :D Quick suggestion though: would it be possible to show numerically your starting stack at the beginning of a hand and maybe also the effective stack if possible?
Of course! I definitely make mistakes and am always trying to learn and get better. I’ll look into it, but I also don’t want to flood the screen with too much information. I do like to keep it simple as far as the graphics, and it’s easier on me 😅 but maybe I’ll try it sometime
As someone who quit to play PLO three years ago I'm rooting for ya!
Just always have a plan B and C. Variance can be brutal
For sure - backup plans are always super important
Best of luck to you, I'm sure it's not easy but I hope it works out for you. Hopefully I'll see you at gardens one of these times and say hi
If you ever see me, definitely come up and say hi!
good luck Brantzen you got this
Best wishes to you and the family. Tough session here but there'll be profitable ones soon.
For sure - thanks for sticking in!
Good luck on your journey. I'll subscribe just to see how far you'll make it
Hopefully far! 😅 But I won’t know till I try
Good luck on your new journey!
Thanks!
Interesting Choice... Good luck I follow for a while and lets see
Good luck on your journey! It's nerve wracking for sure but I have 0 regrets. I'll post an income video at the end of the year, but in short... whether I make more or less, it has very little to do with the happiness of my decision.
I get to play poker, create content, and work with brands... and I get to do it my way. I couldn't do it someone else's. It was time to go out on my own and it sounds like you've come to that decision too. Will be watching.
Agreed - it truly is the dream to play a game we love for a living, as well as build a business with the content side. I appreciate the kind words man 🙏
Didn't want to take too much of your time but It was a pleasure meeting you and chatting for a quick second on Friday. Hope to chat it up a bit more next time around. Congrats on going full-time!
Thanks - it was great meeting you too! Definitely feel free to always stop by for a chat if you see me 😬
Great fold on the AQ hand. That's something you should make a habit of. So many people call there, while not truly getting the right price. You really have to stay disciplined as a pro and fold those spots that look so good, but you aren't getting the correct price. Good luck to you and your wife and family on your new journey!
Thanks! Yeah I think a lot of people get too gambly and don’t calculate their equity vs the price
Nice work!!
Thanks!
Subscriber #351 just to help you out. Respect for what you're doing. If I lived closer to a bigger casino I would do the same thing. Good luck
Thank you so much - I really appreciate it
Good luck!, I’m still hoping to run into you one of the sessions at the Gardens or commerce…
Well now I’m playing a ton more at the gardens so feel free to say hi if you ever see me!
