seems like there has to b a good joke in here somewhere

I can't decide between Britannia or The Spanish Princess for my 'omg it's 9:30pm and I haven't even started marinating' background noise.

One takes itself too seriously and the other had best not try.

Dennis Miller was never funny.

Whut?

Ivy did not really address the issues around risk of getting cheated - he just mentioned live games getting robbed (and that can happen in underground games). But the risk of getting cheated by collusion, etc. is much higher on line and harder to detect IME. Not to speak of the "new" threats of RTA, ghosting, etc.

Some of us lost a lot of money to the UB superusers in the 25-50 games. Not much risk of that in most live games in casinos these days (with the apparent exception of the Stones streamed games )

Nah, never. It rarely runs on Stars even.
I don’t really have any ambition to play that high either for a few reasons, one of which Rob mentioned. It would also be irresponsible for me to aim to play that high.

I'd guess the risk of mechanics and marked cards make live poker far more risky, and also that Ivy is qualified to explain that.

With the lack of a SABRag this weekend I'm going to throw out a brag myself.

This Sunday I went 7-1 ATS with my NFL bets.

good points sir

I have a fun/scary story about a guy I played with a lot 7/8 years ago who I’ve posted about itt before getting stolen from in a huge private live game to the extent that he will most likely never play poker before

Another point worth mentioning. I’ve heart that high stakes online players on sites like stars have to go through extensive verification etc. I’m mostly uniformed so don’t quote me on that one but I actually think there’s less bottling at those stakes.

Once again referring to 5knl+.

Phil for example doesn’t seem concerned about RTA with all his challenges etc.— mostly because he’s basically half robot tho.

MMA also seems largely unfazed iirc and he just had a six figure day not too long ago I believe. Day.

there was that fedor kruse thing though..

Nice Sunday man. What’s your win % look like on the year so far? Maybe start a McLovin’s fav pick of the week on Saturdays for us?

I vaguely remember this story. Was it a collusion situation? You played in the same games?

Nice, that’s pretty solid dude.

If that's what she said, I'd expect she was one of robfarha's ladyboys

1-800-522-4700

To play devils advocate he also mentioned that there’s 10 or so players that he didn’t want to mention, but suspected more than Kruse of using RTA.
It’s a real problem and you should also realize that MMA has a vested interest in people not being afraid of the future of online poker.
Not to discredit him in any way, I think he is definitely a trustworthy guy and gives his straight opinions.

do you post your picks anywhere?

RtP,

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't post my phone number itt.

Yeah I do.

Each week.

Nope, this is new and way out of me League. Will see if I can compose

Ok so..****dr but worthwhile if you can get to the end

there’s a young guy I used to play against almost a decade ago when I started playing 2/5. He was about 19 and already established as one of the best holdem players in the room. He played and was the biggest winner at 5/10/20 when it ran but he also probably played 30-40 hours of 2/5 which was the next biggest game.

Just an incredible creative, aggressive player who was brilliant at playing the player. I’ve posted about him in here before - win rate of over $80 an hour at 2/5, won a bracelet in his third ever event etc etc. Truly intimidating to be up against...he would just toy with you. Also a bright, interesting and charismatic guy who whales enjoyed playing with. Developed giant gambling leaks as many of the young guys do - the night he won his bracelet he lost more than his winnings playing baccarat.

As big holdem dried up he moved to PLO where we had several mega Chinese whales and a guy running a Ponzi scheme who were all donating millions a year to the game and within a year or so he was playing giant games - we regularly had games of 50/50-100 and 50/100-200 etc and by all accounts he was a crusher. Also would back and coach other high stakes friends in the games.

He was also playing private games and found a huge whale who he won millions off playing heads up. Eventually the whale stopped playing him, so he switched to putting a horse in against the whale. Culminated in a best of 30 $400k per game heads up sit n go battle where inexplicably the horse lost 12 in a row (and then quit down $4m) and they later realised they had been cheated by the whale who was wearing some kind of infrared glasses.

Anyhow, most of the giant PLO games have gone private the past few years and this guy was playing these games. Almost none of the old casino friends he used to play with are there and it’s a mixed assortment of characters. Getting more political and less friendly and our Hero is more careful and wary.

Fast forward to about 18 months ago and our hero wins something over $1m from a business guy who needs a few weeks to pay. One day, our hero gets a knock on his door (he’d never ever shared where he lived) and the guy who owes him the money is there at the door. Sits him down and tells him that not only is he never going to get the money but tells him that he needs to tell everyone in the game that he has in fact been paid. If not, he will not only kill him but also do stuff to his family. Proceeds to bring out photos of his parents and siblings along with addresses, pics of cars, where they work etc etc.

Proper, convincing, coherent threats from a person who clearly knows what he is doing. Enough for hero to do exactly what he was told and quit the game and poker completely. Basically had a nervous breakdown of some kind but recovered enough to go travelling for a while before Covid hit but he’s back at home now living in a different place. He’s lucky to still have a fair amount of $$ but good luck learning a profession or even starting a business when you’ve had 7 figure swings in your early 20s

woah

Holy ****
