Looking down at pocket aces in a high stakes cash game is every poker player's dream scenario. For Florence, that dream became a reality when playing on the Hustler Casino Live stream against the popular poker vlogger, Rampage Poker also known as Ethan Yau.

Florence finds herself in a tough spot with the bullets after Rampage raises her river bet. But she throws Rampage Poker into the blender with how she responds! Will Rampage be able to make the correct play facing her aggressive style?

When you are playing in loose, splashy cash games that have a lot of limping, it is a good idea to start making larger raises and bets with your value hands. This is especially true if you perceive your opponents as calling stations. You reduce your opponents' implied odds with their trashy hands, and when you do get called, you are making the pot bigger with your premium poker hands.
Ethan Yau, a.k.a Rampage, is a popular YouTuber and poker player. He has over 320,000 subscribers on YouTube and has won over $2,800,000 in live poker tournaments, including a $900,000 win in a 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller at the Wynn. Since 2021, Rampage has played on over 67 live streamed cash games and has won over $1,000,000.
Florence is introduced as an American poker player who posts about her poker journey on Instagram. She readily admits that she is not the best, but she is having the most fun. Since 2024, Florence has only played on this streamed cash game and lost over $14,000.

Unscripted and unedited, they host regular poker streams such as ‘Max Pain Monday’ and ‘Thirsty Thursday’. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker’ ‘RaiseOnce’, Tom Dwan ’durrrr’, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat’, Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman’, Tony Guoga ‘Tony G’ and many more.
🔍 Preflop:
Fast Eddie calls under the gun with 43 of hearts before Rampage Poker follows suit and limps in from the button holding 97o. After the small blind folds, Florence raises to $150 from the big blind with pocket aces for the current nuts. Zeo calls from the third blind with JTo, Eddie calls with his low suited connector and Rampage sticks around with his unsuited one-gapper.
💸 Flop - Ks 8s 6d:
Florence still has an overpair with her American Airlines on the king-high flop and fires a continuation bet of $150. Zeo folds his jack-high, Eddie folds with two undercards to the board, but Rampage decides to call with his open ended straight draw.
💣 Turn - Qd:
The Q of diamonds on the turn introduces a second flush draw to the board. Florence keeps up the aggression with a second barrel of $300 and Rampage calls again, still chasing his straight draw.
🌊 River - Tc:
Both flush draws brick on the T of clubs river, but this card completes several straights and two pair combinations. Florence remains undeterred and bets $1,500, a near pot sized bet. Rampage hits the second best card in the deck as he has now completed his straight, and has been upgraded to having the third nuts. He raises to $4,000, hoping to extract maximum value from Florence. Will Florence find a disciplined fold with her pocket rockets, or will she make the call and see the bad news? Perhaps she’ll even consider raising, risking an overplay with her two aces.
