No one cares

This ... re: you and aepoker.

I don't know anything about the rest of what you have said, but one thing's for sure; whoever told you this has less than no clue about how casinos work, and was lying to you. I would call into question anyone's intelligence that actually even considers that this is true. Do you have any updates as to how this "system" worked for you?

This thing only worked back in the day when all the play tracking was done at cages/at the discretion of the pit bosses.

Your right up to a point. If his friend really was doing the $400 thing and not hitting his stoploss very quickly, he could still concievably be getting decent comp offers based on his play, and not on his absurd histrionics, and just not realize its all computerized and the image hes portraying is irrelevant. Especially playing at a recently opened casino that is, presumably, looking to develop clients.

I dont think one would have to be stupid to believe that story -- just ignorant of how casino comping generally works -- a somewhat specialized field of knowledge.

It was almost never done at the cages, and even when something like this COULD have POSSIBLY worked, (back in the junket days), you still had to show ID usually when cashing out, etc. Those days have been gone for about t 35 years
You likely missed the part were he said one shoe or $400, which will get you next to nothing. The way he tells it, really, you could just skip playing bj at all and just buy 1k in chips every 30 min and get comped like crazy.

Just read the whole thread (took me a few days). So interesting! You've inspired me to get back into poker. Damn you black friday, I want to play now!

I am going to flamed for this, but has anyone else noticed how much different Matt's writing has gotten. It is a great read, but god damn has it ever gotten too philoshophical- it's like he thinks he is god or something. Read the first few replies and then read the last few...there is such a change in his writing style.

FYP, no flaming necessary.

His style isn't Hellmuthian or annoying at all so it's not a detriment to the thread. I think he reserves the right to write any way he sees fit. I think he also might be getting high more often than not.

AND, I think he's getting bored with it. He's posting 2-3 times a month(?). I'd like to hear more about this Tweet.

there are points where its definitely hellmuthian

theres a difference between complaint and criticism. We all get that there's a contingent of posters who dont think there should be any criticism itt. Posts like yours, which contribute nothing except the message "dont post" arent appropriate.

I think this is where you're losing a lot of people. Some of your points on poker/vegas are fine and constructive to an extent, but when you start criticizing his writing style (or backing others that are), to me that merely looking a gifthorse in the mouth at best, and trolling at worst.

I would never have written what I did in response to a strategy criticism that was polite...but talking shyt about writing styles and content? Really? No one makes you guys read this thread.

Partied with matt a few days ago and was epic 1337. Milfs, twins, and sick dance moves. Gotta love vegas

and WCG swoops in to save the thread (temporarily) cant wait to hopefully hear about this from MM in the near future

As someone who wants to spend at least an entire summer in Vegas shortly, this thread has been pretty inspiring and at the least, a very good read. Thanks Matt.

Can confirm, epic milfs and dance moves...also, phil laak dropped by for a volcano sess last night, immediately multiple prop bets went down

TR+PICS or GTFO

Nice to hear about you're success Matt. Just curious, but what is your hourly rate? I hear people making about $50/hr at 2/5 and it sounds like you make a lot more than 10bb/hr at 5/10 and 10/20.

Did we ever get a result of the 2 week prop bet? Am I just that dense (possible yes)?

24k pots are nice

More on this, pls, Matt.

Was AEPpoker in town or something?
j/k AEP, but would be epic to read about some hands between you two at some point.

not till the WSOP...

I normally dont play NLHE very much, and almost never at the B when i do. But for the entertainment of the 2p2 masses, ill make a point to try and get into a game with mm if i happen to see him there and and hes not playing anything bigger than 10/20

Gimmicks gonna gimmick.

Bro, I've been doing this professionally since 1980, you can't let it destroy you. You have to have passion for the game but don't let it turn you into the type of bitter player you described in your post. Its all about balance in your life. You can't love to play TOO much. The only way you can win the big money that can set you up for life is to have some adventurism in you. The tournaments are the way to go. Take pops in them, but your bread and butter will be the side games. Just remember win like an elephant, lose like a canary. If your luck is bad and your beginning to tilt, get up and quit. Most players do this in reverse, when they win they can't wait to quit, but these same players tilt all there money off on a bad day. GL
