Andrew Neeme: Setting Records at Seven Mile Casino

Continuing his vlog’s general theme of generalized technological disaster, Andrew Neeme’s latest YouTube video starts with a flat tyre and the sweeping adventure of how he gets his wheels back in casino commuting order. It’s all thematic though – while he waits for a Walmart employee to pull a screw out of his inner tube, it sets him off thinking about variance in life and poker. If a flat tyre isn’t the visual metaphor you need, he’s also assembling his new drone in the carparks as he talks, after the old one was totalled in a previous video. Cue footage of freeways and parking lots viewed from above set to a suitably airy tune.

Neeme does eventually get to the card table, specifically the poker room of the Seven Mile Casino outside San Diego. After opting not to join the variance fest that is a $5-$10 PLO game with a straddle in play and $5,000 maximum buy-in, he gives us a couple of hands on the holdem table in his usual split screen style, including a detailed analysis of that old favorite pocket jacks.

The pocket pairs keep coming this session and Neeme’s extraordinary ability to hit sets holds up, he even gets in a nice little joint analysis with Leo, one of the Seven Mile regs. They chat a bit about a hand in which Neeme’s pocket queens setted up on the turn and how Leo avoiding going busto that hand.

The conversation even results in a nice little detail about one of Neeme’s live tells. Worth a watch if you play in any of his regular card rooms, who knows, you might have a chance to use it against him.

With the $1,330 in the pot against Leo, Neeme ends up booking his best night on the vlog so far, booking a record breaking $3,500 win to which a vlog fan he met contributed a little tip of one $10 chip.

Going from a flat tyre to a $3,500 grand win, talk about variance.
