DHCG/Kydd Thread - Page 23 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

thread became surprisingly readable when I started imagining that all of dhcg's posts were poems he had written and was reciting during open mic night at a bar called Here and There or just HAT for short and every time he pulled the pin on another wisdom gernade like "when your brain works as quickly and as efficiently as mine..." or "I will focus on whatever you guys choose..." then he would make a face and start glaring at everybody in the room, while in the background: bongos

I think a movie of the events would be a lot more interesting than whatever sequel to Rounders will be thrown our way.

I calmed down
Listened to someone one who I KNOW loves

And then I read through everything I wrote

First things first

I did not create nor ask for nor desire this thread

Secondly

Well. I got so focused on winning every argument that I lost sight of the goal: the truth

Thirdly

My text about 15k. I had done the math and that is what I had calculated chads total cut to be

I may have screwed it up

I do not know because I haven't checked yet

Here is what I remember feeling

I caught chad in another lie. This one about his money situation.

I realized that chad was abusive and that I could not trust him.

I had 2k to my name, and then I lost it.

And then I had none. Chad had already been pissed off at me. I didn't want to deal with anymore chad drama ever again. Whatever money I owed him, I would just work it off. In fact, I already had an arrangement in place. And it was in place to take care of my makeup too.

So I packed my bags and left. And I decided to go to Pittsburgh and see frenzuh to get my new bankroll

And then chad tried to sabotage that.

Miami cheats was right. I should've taken a break. But I had an anxiety attack or a panic attack or I was in shock or something.

And make it known that even though I might be "crazy"

I am 100% trustworthy.

Calming down and taking some time off was a good idea wasn't it? You have nothing to lose doing so. Like I said, we're ready to be convinced, you're just all over the place. I know you're a good guy, but you get so pumped about things, sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the big picture like we are. All we see is a mess of accusations and bits and pieces of information of uncertain precision and reliability.

I don't know what evidence or proof you're supposedly going to show us, and I don't know what's up with this whole thing, I don't know who if anyone is in the wrong, all I can I hope is that you make the best of this opportunity to say your bit.

it appears that the next step is to contact each other, work the numbers and come up with a result both of you can live with. Then implement it. This thread isn't going to help either of you to obtain that goal. Therefore, I'm going to lock this thread.

If either Kydd or dhcg want to write a coda summarizing their thoughts, then PM it to me (or APD or mpethy, I'm sure they'll do the same) and we'll post it verbatim, only removing personal information. However, it is a one post deal. Put the work into it, make sure it says what you want it to say as your last statement on the matter to LLSNL.

Finally, you(collectively) aren't going to be moving this to a forum like NVG or pushing it into the chat thread. You've had nearly 2 days to say what you want to say publicly. If you need more, you can post in your own blogs about it. As for anyone else, if you have something for Kydd or dhcg, PM it to them.

Locked.

This thread has also shed a bad light on something I think I've done a lot of good with - staking. Staking and coaching has had a positive effect on almost everyone I've done it with.

I'm just going to summarize what is true:
-I never lied about my winrate. I am a very profitable player, and it shows that I am through my coaching, the improvement I make on other peoples results, and my logic in hands I discuss.
-I will say this about my winrate though. I don't calculate it. The only times I ever calculate my winrate are when someone asks.
-I don't differentiate my results by stake because frankly I don't really care. I can figure out my total hourly, but anything by stake is just a guess and I've expressed that when asked.

-Everything I said about my net worth was also true except for saying I had a bank account in China and the money I said existed there did not exist. I only said this once, and it was more of me dodging the question than maliciously telling a lie. I didn't want to be upfront about my blackjack demons.
-I keep my bank account below $10k. The only time I have it higher is when my rich friend who constantly borrows money from me (so his wife doesn't see it leave the account) pays me back with a bank wire from his business account.
-When I said I had $35k in the bank, it was probably true. As I've lent him somewhere around $80k-$100k in the span of 2 months.

-I honestly have no clue how much money I have lost in blackjack. I know it was a big problem for a while, I got over it, but then the problem came back. My friend who I previously mentioned loaning a bunch of money to was playing high stakes blackjack. He would ask me to come into the high limit room and say hi when he was there. I would sweat him a little and then I got the itch to play again. I eventually kicked the habit again.

-I have been playing $5/$10+ for the last few years. The claim I had no experience at it was false. In fact, over a year, maybe two years before I ever met Dane, I befriended Spyu at the Venetian $5/$10 game.

-I have always had plenty of liquid cash to stake Dane for whatever stake I wanted to. Even while he was in my stable, I staked another horse (Mike) for $10/$25, and I also have staked TAO for $10/$25 when the game was soft. It never happened with Dane because he wasn't ready in my opinion. I gave him approval to play $10/$25 once when he was having a good month, but he didn't want to play vs a particular lineup at Borgata. He would go on to spew a bunch later that month and he never got to a point where I wanted him to move up since then.

-Dane let me use his hotel comps for free. He offered them, I didn't demand them. He enjoyed setting things up, taking control, making plans, and feeling like he was second in command to my stable. I bumped his deal to be generous, not because he asked for it or earned it through his play. It was made clear it was for taking care of the rooms and buying small things like floss.

-I beat Dane in a HU challenge we had a $2.5k sidebet on. Considering the length of the bet, I knew I would win and I let him off the hook for the full amount. Why would I do this if I was stealing from him? I think it's clear I never stole from Dane or any horses, but I will say it anyways. I never stole from any horses.

-I have also never abused any horses.

-It's my personal belief that texting at the poker table is no big deal as long as you aren't discussing a hand in progress. What's the real difference between texting and taking a bathroom break to talk, going to dinner, or just getting up from the table for 2 min?

-Dane was given $11,000 of my money. I spent $1,000 online. He returned $0 of the remaining $10,000.

-Dane is clearly sick. He is reflecting things he did on his friends (even ones besides myself). He stole money from me and ran away while I was sleeping. He knows he stole and didn't man up and his defense is to call me a liar, cheater, and thief, and to pronounce everyone else as a coward.
