Brad Owen is an American professional poker player, vlogger, and entrepreneur who has become one of the most recognizable faces in modern poker. As a pioneer of the "vlog" era and a WPT Global Ambassador, he has successfully bridged the gap between professional play and global entertainment.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
Brad Owen has total live tournament earnings of $1,155,000 (according to The Hendon Mob). While he rose to fame primarily as a cash game specialist, he has recently seen significant success on the tournament circuit. His career-best live score came in May 2023 when he finished 4th in the WPT Gardens Poker Championship for $152,210. He also secured a runner-up finish in the 2024 WPT Cambodia High Roller for over $100,000. Beyond his tournament results, his primary income stems from high-stakes cash games and his ownership stake in The Lodge Card Club, contributing to an estimated net worth of approximately $2 million to $5 million.
Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1988 and originally from Santa Rosa, California, Owen moved to Las Vegas in 2011 to pursue poker professionally. After a brief period returning home to work in the accounting sector, he returned to Vegas in 2015 and began documenting his journey through his YouTube channel in 2016. Alongside fellow vlogger Andrew Neeme and Doug Polk, he became a co-owner of The Lodge Card Club in Round Rock, Texas, in 2022. In the same year, he was named a World Poker Tour (WPT) Ambassador, representing the brand at major stops worldwide through "Meet-Up Games" (MUGs).
Play Style & Strategy
Owen is known for a disciplined, analytical, and highly transparent play style. Unlike many professional players who keep their strategy secret, Owen famously breaks down his thought processes in his vlogs, discussing pot odds, hand ranges, and positional advantages in real-time. He primarily specializes in No-Limit Hold'em cash games, moving from $1/$2 games to $10/$25 and higher over the course of his career. His strategy emphasizes a "solid-aggressive" foundation, though he is often praised for his ability to adapt to the more "splashy" dynamics often found at his signature Meet-Up Games and live-streamed cash game appearances.
