What's happened to Hustler's live stream ain't seen it all week?!

Turkey, bro

Oh,My bad not a Yank!!

They should be back Monday

I'm a huge Garrett stan... But since he's left and the absence of Gal and Wesley the streams have kind of been boring.

Andy is now kind of a boring nit
Airball is unwatchable
Bill Klein, nice guy, boring
JR, who everyone seems to love, is like a boring ABC blank create-a-character

Stream would be much better without airball. He's a big mouth that sucks at poker and is openly hostile to outsiders

I just rewatched last nights time stamps.. this is such an accurate description of JR…

The 33 vs Andy’s AK last night was particularly brutal.

They're trying super hard to make him a draw for the stream

I haven’t watched in a while. Any idea why Wesley stopped playing?

Is JR the new Krish?

I would imagine the FTX scandal may have something to do with Wesley's absence.

hasn't been updated for 3 weeks but Wesley was down 500k over his last 5 appearances

and lol at Sashimi on this week's Max Pain Monday:

Handz has been the most fearless big bet player on HCL. Seeing Eric get the best of him was painful since he seems like a great player.

Is he a full time pro in Europe?

The last guy I would want to bluff is Alan Keating.

I don't get what benefit HCL receives from these ultra long marathon sessions ?

Interesting that Wesley said Eric won't play him.
Maybe over Wesley going through the short stack buy in period? Or just can't intimidate him?

Aussie Al played well, lucky after nearly quitting after losing 2x$35k stand up bets.

HorribleBob is a great shitstirrer, doesn't miss anyone.
Enjoyed the games with the stand up pushing the action.

I was trying to recall when this show started. Was it in 2021 or 2022? Either way it was quite a year! I remember really getting caught up in the Skillsrocks scandal in the early part of the year.

Soon after that we had the back and forth with the Dylan slow roll on Garrett, and then Garrett getting revenge by stacking Dylan. I don't know if Dylan ever returned to the show after that. Must have been pretty crushing. I know it was alot of money to lose in one hand, but then again money is all relative to how much you have and how much you can afford to lose.

Then in late September we have the Garrett vs Robbie J4 hand which lead to cheating allegations and discovery of Bryan Sagbisal as a degenerate thief. Then we move to early December where Sashimi causes quite a stir with her fake nipples. Quite a year!

Were there any other major highlights that I missed? I am definitely not an every day viewer, but I would have the stream playing in the background when I was doing some online grinding.

The latest youtube video "Eric Persson Can't Catch a Break" is really something. This Persson guy needs to stop playing or he will go busto. He's a terrible player

Show #1 was August 3, 2021, 5PM PT

Ah cool, thanks for posting.

Ya that first episode still has the same feel as current episodes in terms of layout and general feel. I'd say current episodes have a more lively mix of personalities compared to this episode with an all male table with more classic poker player types.

Those were definitely a couple of the most memorable moments. Here are a few more candidates:

MrDrBatman QQ vs Eric Persson ATo 635k pot "welcome to the big leagues kid" "here, take one of your own needling cards"

Rampage's +235k sun run session
https://youtu.be/0uy0vuzzvfs

I watched a lot of the stream with Micky, JRB, Persson, Keating...

Wesley bought in for only 100k and for 2 days played phenomenally disciplined poker. And he didn't accuse anyone of overplaying. Very tight preflop, aggressive post but prepared to get it in against the maniacs in good spots. So yeah, I don't think Persson wants a good no-name nit at the table. I wouldn't be surprised if he also doesn't want MJ or Double M.

I find it interesting how a small off-hand comment can set in motion some quite unexpected consequences.

Near the start of this particular session (10 Dec 2022), Double M asked Andy seated across the table how many chips he had behind. Usually quiet Andy seemed a little irritated by this and responded in front of everyone along lines "What does it matter to you? It's not like all your chips are in play anyway. We all know, you only ever bet when you have it!!!"

Some background to this is that a few weeks earlier, Andy had done that massive 4bet, 3-barrel punt with the Q8o into Double M's AA for a 415k pot.

Later in the session, the following hands happen...

Usually stationy Mike X, instafolds top pair to Double M's allin riverbet:

Double M Q5s attempts to use his nut peddling image to river 3bet bluff Mars off a hand on a paired board, (247k pot with tragic results):

Finale: Aaron Zang correctly lays down TT to Double M's JJ on 2d4s4hJhTh board:

If Double M had not asked Andy how many chips he had... these hands may not have played out in the way they did. Karma?
