Although they don’t spend all their time in the highest stakes cash games or gambling it up on the high roller circuit, Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen have still climbed to the top of the poker mountain in their own way, dominating the world of poker vlogging.

The two Las Vegas-based grinders have built huge followings on their respective YouTube channels, documenting their ups and downs as they hunt for action and try to avoid downswings.

Neeme is considered a pioneer of the poker vlogging format, having started his channel back in 2016 with a then-unheard of focus on lower stakes games. Although many would go on to follow in his footsteps and even copy his style, the Detroit native remains one of the most watched poker content creators on YouTube with nearly 200,000 subscribers.

As far as numbers go, only Daniel Negreanu himself can rival Owen, who has built up an incredible 650,000 subscribers in the last five years. The California native even won Poker Personality of the Year at the 2019 Global Poker Awards and added the best vlogger award this year.

As it turns out, a lot of these viewers were looking for a chance to play with Neeme and Owen. Thus, the Meet Up Game (MUG) was born. The duo started traveling the country, setting up games at various casinos and cardrooms while rotating from table to table to make sure everyone got a chance to win their stack. The MUGs have continued to grow over the years, and now partnered with the World Poker Tour, have been able to reach an international audience.

This December, Neeme and Owen will be hosting their biggest MUG yet to kick off the festivities of the season-ending WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. Check out the full schedule on Card Player’s tournament database, or on Wynn's website.

Neeme and Owen can also often be found in Texas at their very own poker room. The two became minority owners of The Lodge Card Club House near Austin along with fellow poker pro and YouTuber Doug Polk earlier this year.
