Wolfgang's latest adventure began with Ethan “Rampage” Yau in Vancouver. A luxurious home, private spaces turned into a casino, a roulette table hidden behind a wall, and cash games where nobody came just to watch. The first hands suggest action won't be lacking. Jack ten offsuit wins the pot, but a cold shower quickly follows. Aces aren't enough, kings survive, but the 7 c 2 h hand again proves why in cash games it's more symbol than strategy. The first night ends with a $5,000 loss, setting a realistic tone for the road trip.
Next stop: Calgary. A twelve-hour drive, bets among travel companions, and a cold bath penalty for losing a challenge. Poker and travel blend into one continuous experience. Calgary promises a casino, deep stacks, and the feeling that fortunes could change. Ace king works, kings take pots, but one emotion-driven decision changes the entire session. Q h 3 h in a massive pot, a runout with no help, and a minus CAD 10,000 is the reality. Poker again shows how thin the line is between a good day and a disaster.
Rest comes away from the table. Bars, dancing, laughter, and unique vibrator races where poker is momentarily forgotten. But the road trip continues. Edmonton brings a visit to the Oilers' hockey rink, a look into the locker rooms, the ice, and moments that would never come without poker. Yet, when the cards are dealt again, reality remains unchanged. Aces take only the straddle, A d Q d creates a strong draw, but an opponent's pressure stops the action at the wrong moment. Wolfgang tries his luck with J h 9 h, but opts for a fold against an opponent's min-raise. Another loss for the team.
Montreal feels like the last big chance to turn the trip around. Luxurious living, a calmer atmosphere, and a high-stakes cash game with a $20,000 buy-in. A c K c faces aggression and a peculiar river sizing that the opponent reads perfectly. 7 h 2 d becomes a weapon in bounty games, bringing interesting moments, but the overall result is break-even. After all the moves and sessions, it's clear the road trip is nearing its end.
Toronto is no longer about high stakes - it's about people. Meeting up with fans, lower stakes, conversations, and poker played for fun. A hero call with A c 4 c works, but the nut flush loses to a set. The finale is symbolic. The poker road trip ends exactly as it unfolded throughout – a minus CDN 25,000. This vlog isn't about results. It's about what poker looks like in the real world. About traveling, exhaustion, emotions, private cash games, Canadian casinos, and decisions made far from your comfort zone.
