Woaaaaah how dare someone streaming for entertainment be entertaining and have fun on stream, so terrible, i'm glad you pointed out this horrendous act. He should sit there with a straight face and click buttons for hours on end with zero reactions amiright?

That's not the definition of students, people reading the news to learn about things going on in the world aren't students of Fox or CNN or NBC , just like because i read your ****ty posts clogging up the thread i'm not a student of yours. 2) who cares 3) obviously he is profitable in these idk why you are comparing him to fish who made money then lost it? he clearly has a lot of money still + has streamed himself winning at a nice winrate in highstakes MTTs, HU , and 6 max nl + plo so if you are white knighting how he isn't playing 2nl correctly or w.e to beat it because you are an expert on 2l then you should spend more time working on your game than critiquing how a high stakes reg is going about building a small roll in a fun challenge for his audience.

If you're willing to escrow, I'll take $1,000 of that action. That way, Doug and I can both make $10k on his challenge.

I mean it seems like an obvious troll, but it seemed too long and passionate, and while the astute person sees trolling in everything (rightfully so) you have to remember that some people are just really, really silly

Sophistry of the week imo. If I knew nothing about poker I would be sold on all points despite nearly all of them being wrong.

Dont understand why people are hating and trying to put somebody down for no reason...

When i first started watching the stream i thought it was a bit too much but after watching a few hours hes cool its just his personality. You can`t sit there and call somebody terrible and pick them apart behind a computer screen because your life and your situation sucks. Hes made money through poker 98% of people this on this website will never see. If you dont like his stream dont watch it and if you have to go out your way to come here and just be negative about somebody and what theyre trying to do youre an idiot. Hes giving back to the poker community, he clearly doesnt need money and even if he was streaming for money so what? Poker is what he knows best and if he can make money through it another way then fair play to him... stfu

This is a guy who already has enough money to retire so ask yourself this question: why stream? I can tell you he's not doing it for the love of the game unlike Jcarver or Jaime Staples that much I can assure you. What I found totally amusing and sad is his giveaways. Yesterday he gave $500 dollars to a random viewer and it's the only time I saw actual enthusiasm in his channel from the money hungry plebs. When have you ever seen Jcarver engage in these questionable Twitch stream tactics? The answer is never because his stream is done right and he's the bar with which all other poker streamers should dream to measure up to.

This guy is a joke and I'd love to felt him live to serve him a slice of humble pie. How does anyone with half a brain not know he's just messing around on Twitch. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some prop bet he made with someone to see how long he could stream Poker. The only thing I've learnt from watching this guy stream poker is how to basically donk off your money. Again, aside from HUNL this guy is average. Nothing he has done has led me to believe otherwise.

She is wayyyy to tight and about 3 times an orbit she goes "ughh I really don't know what to do here." I def respect her commitment and consistency in streaming but my god she is bad at poker lol
She played hyper heads up SNGs and spin n gos for a living, before transitioning to MTTs. So she can't be that bad?

Yeah that pokercasual post must be a level?

I haven't watched any of the stream and just check this thread most evenings, but of course he is good enough to run it up to 10k. It's not even about strategy. His main asset at this level is that he is a hardened warrior of online poker who can sit there for hour after hour and not tilt. Very few opponents in the games he is playing can do this. He is just going to sit there and grind it up. Sure there will be some fancy plays thrown in but they are only a small part of the picture. Mental toughness and solid poker are still enough to get to 10k and those are the things that will get him there.

Where do these people come from? 2004?

Some asian business recreative poker players also make millions sometimes at poker, doesn't make them any better.

The point of his challenge was to follow a proper bankroll management, he tried with cash game then 'lagged' so he had to reload cash. Then he got hit by 'variance' and went down to like 50$. He went up againt to his basic bankroll. After 12 days, he's at 400$ and 300$ of that 400 came from an MTT which a fish can finish (proof: on the prizepool, he was first followed by 4 donks).

So basically after 12 days, he wasn't able to grind anything from 100$ except an mtt, he's a pro, and the point of the challenge was to proof to his 'students' that it was possible to follow a brm management (which he didn't since he was playing 10 NL at 140$ bankroll and sng to). So your 'pro' isn't beating **** in my opinion while his 'fans' are getting screwed into buying his 'courses' and give donations to his twitch and subscribe to him.

10 to 1 odds that he goes bust before making the 10k or that he makes the 10k in a month.

I think he will have no problem making 10k (with proper BRM...) but I do not think he will do it in a month. It would be crazy if he made it in 3 months. I think there is a .00003% chance he goes broke.

So what is the conditions of this prop bet?
This question is for casual.

Day 13: $138

Today I figured out that the rake structure for games where you play HU, is actually substantially better then any other format of cash games.

This, combined with it obviously being my best game, led me to believe that my best chance to have edge was to be aggressive with my BRM and play this game type. I took a shot at 10c/20c hunl.

I am gonna save people from bad beat stories, but lets just say things didnt go our way. Obviously a pretty sad week for me given the high we had after Sunday, and I am unhappy with the results.

What I am probably most unhappy about, is that next week I have to go to Vancouver for WCOOP. The reason this makes me unhappy, is that I don't want people to think I am in any way giving up on the challenge. I am going to come back and battle it out to get this done. But I can't skip WCOOP (as I said before I even started the BRC), so I have to be in Vanouver for that.

I will be playing next week, and will be back at the start of October. The challenge will continue at that point.
