There aren’t many better feelings in life than hitting quads at the poker table! When OG poker vlogger Brad Owen rivers quads against Mariano and EZ, he takes a crazy line in the hopes that his opponents will bluff into him. But will it work? When the board is very wet & dynamic you should often bet larger with your value hands. The nuts will change by the turn or river if any straight or flush completing cards arrive which could result in you possibly having the 2nd best hand. Using larger bet sizes allows you to get more money into the pot whilst you still have an equity advantage. 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 715,000 subscribers.

Pre-Flop Action: The action folds to Mariano Poker on the button who raises to $600 with AQo. Brad Owen looks down at pocket eights in the big blind and calls, EZ in the straddle opts to call with the Doyle Brunson special, T2o, as they head to the flop three-way. Flop – Ks 8s 3h: Brad flops a beautiful middle set with his snowmen and checks. EZ follows suit with a check to the aggressor. Mariano does not take the bait with his ace-high and he wisely checks behind. Turn – Th: The T of hearts on the turn introduces two flush draws on the board. Brad now takes the initiative by leading for $1,200. EZ, having paired his ten, decides to make the call. Mariano, who has picked up a gutshot straight draw, also calls to see the river. River – 8h: The 8 of hearts on the river brings in the backdoor flush and upgrades Brad’s set of eights to quads! He remains stoic like a true professional poker player and after some time he checks with four of a kind to EZ, who is also happy to check hoping to get to showdown cheaply. Now, Mariano has just ace-high after missing his gutshot straight draw. But what will he do? Brad must be praying for a bet, but will the fellow poker vlogger fall for Brad’s trap, or will he check it back? Watch this poker video to find out!
