p0kercasual,

How about, many people in poker have the personality of a wet flannel and are not brave enough to speak out about anything that's controversial.

It's a breath of fresh air for someone to speak out in an intelligent and entertaining way.

You have a valid point about Josh Macciello and recs, but he didn't go in hard on him, it was Berkey (and his team of backers) that were rekt by the video. Yeah those geniuses who are soldering motherboards on their YouTube channel but supposedly can't work out 100K is 1.5 buy ins for a 200/400/Ante game.

ugh I was snapping this bet

Pokercasual-

You couldnt be more wrong on Josh M. The "family" thing was an ABSOLUTE lie.
The day he was supposed to play he said"these guys are monsters!""count me out bros!"

Then the "family emergency supposedly happened. Let me ask you this then, if there was a tragic or important even that happened to come up for Josh WHY IS IT THAT HE SPENT OVER AN HOUR ON TWITTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH PEOPLE ON TWITTER(as the game was going on) Completely utter BS. nobody seems to mention that. Hes 10x worse than Berky. They both shouldnt be invited back

i wonder how long it takes torelli to find the old Limon rant (b/c polk was late) and creates a video accusing polk being a hypocrite ... maybe AT could add an interview with schwarz on skype to add some fuel to this 'soon to be bonfire'

Breaking news, this just in!
Poker reg bumhunts in stakes above his comfort zone, refuses tough lineup!


I mean it's pretty obvious to all of us what happened
The tables were set, the game was a foot - noway a guy can publicly admit what's clearly obvious to every reg out there, he'd struggle to get action in the future a lot more, so he's forced to come up with some bull**** to get the benefit of the doubt.

And since Doug has much higher added EV from those games as advertisement to his training site etc. it also makes sense he'd lash out, get even more views in the process

Probs the nut worst person he could have hoped to book against him.

We are live over on YouTube for some Bankroll Challenge

DNegs vs. James Woods intensifies. I wonder if somebody will make a video about it.

realjames thing kinda of OT I guess, but yes it continues to intensify.

What would happen now if some girl came out and accused Dnegs of similar predatory behavior. its possible, he does have some narcissistic traits that are in line with MO of these types of predators.

world has changed boys. scum will be outed. I have three millennial daughters and love the new world order.

Out them all I say

Doug is currently streaming and saw the recent tweet of Woods where he accuses DNegs of racism and got very excited. Was talking about having to make an "emergency youtube video".

The controversy about that video Woods mentioned is 10 years old. Noone in his right mind would think DNegs a racist. Posting another video about this controversy now means to actually evaluate Wood's claims as legitimate (which they aren't). But I expect that Doug can't help himself, judging from his joyful reaction at another opportunity to bash on DNegs.

This is cool. I like the bankroll challenge.

Noone in his right mind would think the blackface video isn't racist.

It’s super cringy and in extremely bad taste but is it hateful or discriminatory toward anyone?

Agree. It makes me feel really uncomfortable but it's not racist when you think about it. Btw I wonder if the video had produced the same reactions if DNegs hadn't used the paint. Compare:

no one in his right mind would think that james woods is a respectable human being

Tbh it's hard to take the bank roll challenge seriously now. I watched it today and Doug was playing 50c/$1 HU PLO 100 BBs deep with a bank roll of ~$1500

This is really bad discipline within the confines of the challenge so a) sets a bad example for viewers and b) means if he meets the challenge target it's been achieved partly through punting/gambling, not through sensible BRM combined a with playing edge.

I think either do it properly, like JNandez87 does, or abort mission and stream something that is more sound from an instructional point of view.

I'm confused.
How does Berkey ruin a show that's for Doug Polk week?
Isn't the show supposed to be all about Doug Polk?

And as a "pro"... isn't it proper for Berkey to bow out when he's losing big pots with AK against Doug's non-GTO bluffs like 98 on an A 7 7 board and then catching running 9's?

If Berkey is truly a "pro" - it seems quite responsible for him to realize he's running bad, playing bad and not in the right mental state to play at the highest limits. Remember, this ain't High Stakes Poker. He's not getting paid to put 100's of thousands of his (and investors') money on the line just to entertain you!

With all his connections and millions of fans, why can't Doug just call up a few of his online wizards to take the place of this one "clown?" How does ONE clown mess up an entire night's line-up?

I'll tell you what: I bet if it were Matt Berkey Week - there would be a line out the door wanting to play with him. Rec players like Tilly & Perkins enjoy playing against him.

Makes you wonder why nobody wants to play with Doug? (Maybe calling out a player in a whiny video isn't the best strategy to enticing future players interested in being part of future DPW line-ups... now is it?)

If Doug played using correct BRM then he'd still be playing 10NL... would take months and months to get to $10k.

Ya hu that's ******ed, if he played 6 max then that would be much more manageable as ou could really nit it up. He probably want's to get it over with and wants some run good to quicken the process. The problem is hu with 15 buyins in plo is ****ing ******ed. He shouldn't even be doing hu poker cuz that **** is dead as all hell at this point.

Calm your farm son, he's not playing with your money is he?

It's definitely not the best way to keep said fish in action. A better line would have been to sweep it under the rug a la Dnegs and Edog.

WTF? Discipline? "BRM"? No one wants to see that crap.

Run that sh*t up.

Jumping back in the bankroll challenge streets, today we are playing some HUNL

lolz.... I'm guessing you WON'T sit Hellmuth.

At least change the headline from BR Challenge to Gambool it up challenge. I really don’t see the point of this anymore.
