Asians and women probably don't like to discuss personal stuff like that. Like comparing salaries at a corporate job, just not done.

I've now seen enough losing sessions with her to think she's a losing player. I'm sticking to my guess that she will be "retired" in a year.

Kelly Winterhalter is my favorite. I'd hurt a man for the chance to enjoy a Swanson tv dinner over skype via dial up with her. I'd chase one of her farts four miles in a strong wind just to get a second sniff.

it is in fact the opposite

if someone strapped you to a suicide vest and said you had to randomly ask someone how much they earn, how much their parents earn, how much their house is worth etc and you needed a straightforward and truthful answer in order to survive and you can't explain the situation nor ask someone you know then you should always ask an asian - these things are far less taboo for them and you luck out and get one not born in the USA then your chances of getting a truthful answer skyrockets because that's a regular topic over there without any controversy attached, no different than asking someone if they like watching basketball - however, obviously if you get a full blown usa #1 asian then the reaction you get will be equally controversial

in america the words trust fund brat is a perjorative used by outsiders, in asia those equivalent words are just basic describers where saying my parents are wealthy is no different from saying "i'm a carpenter or i'm a lawyer"

Can confirm. "How much do you make?" and "how much does so and so make?" are very common questions and topics of conversation.

When first meeting someone the first thing a Korean wants to know is your age(even before your name) and shortly followed by what you do for a living to gaige how much you make. If unclear based on your occupation it will just be asked, "So how much does something like that pay?"

She’s on Hustler tonight. Part of me feels dirty speculating on someone else’s money and talent, but I guess if you’re purposely putting yourself out there…

My opinion is 100% rich parents, and maybe she spun the/some money up in real estate or crypto who knows.

She’s a delight, that goes without saying, but unless you had every session of her play on video, there’s no way you could convince me she’s a winning player. And that’s fine

Wait so you saying Lynne is a fake Asian cuz she got all upset about disclosing her money???

She's definitely got a great positive personality. Part of me wants to know more about the 7 figure loss that she endured. Even with rich parents, I would think such a loss would be an end to any high stakes poker career. Or maybe it was just a massive swing??

Seems like she grew up in the states so I doubt what Rick wrote applies to her. Makes sense she would have a more American reaction when talking about money.

Also I'm sure she cares somewhat about her image and simply saying I got rich from Mommy and Daddy doesn’t project that kind of cool image. Better to keepem guessing.

lols, you made a bad stereotype and when corrected you then respond like this?i said nothing of the sort

i just said that a lot of asians in the US are very tied to their original communities cultures - whereas we go around with "yeah I'm part Irish" but it literally means nothing as they don't speak the language, never been there and have no interaction with the people/location/culture of it all - just have the us version identity of it, ie a polish american may have some jokes in their back pocket and may occasionally eat pierogis with grandma but that's the extent of their polish roots

many asian americans still have family back home they keep in touch with, regularly go back, they may even speak their original language back home, so those cultural values are going to stick around - combine this with that there are still vibrant communities of them in the US and the stereotype that an asian american would be less likely to be offended over financial discussion holds true

but sure, try to boil a nuanced subject down into "fake asian" nonsense and have fun with life

Damnnnnnn, with a name like rickroll, you have done some DEEP analysis into the Asian culture. So your stereotype is better than my stereotype??

This idea that it's ok to yap/brag about your salary or your wealth is not ok in any culture.

It's quite possible it's her own money. A few years ago at Commerce I remember her saying something about looking for investors for some kind of tech startup or something like that.

I remember seeing her on pokergo like 6 months ago or more and they said she was a business person

she's cute, well spoken, not afraid to drop f bombs, likes to show off her bodacious tatas, has money, sucks at poker, looks like she had a chin implant, what's not to like?

Chin implant? Are those a thing

Why do you/people care though? You shouldn't ever question someone where they got their money from thats rude asf.. Plus from what ive seen a small sample size of clips, she is hella bad and great for the game overall just not the tables she is playing at, so who gives a **** where she got her money.. Same goes for guys like mikki.

To be fair, where someone get their money from does matter. The biggest fish to ever play the Hustler livestream turned out to be a convicted con-artist. He was GREAT for the game, great for the stream, etc etc, yet I can guarantee you he'll never be seen on a poker livestream again since people now know he very likely was playing with stolen money.

Disclaimer: I have no reason to think Lynne hasn't earned all her money herself, and my post is obviously in no way related to her.

Also there was a huge whale on one of the TCH streams named "Bildo" who defrauded like PPE loans or something for millions and would go on stream and punt tens of thousands.

But where you/she gets the money isn't important... But it's interesting...

And if you're putting yourself out there I think it's fair game. Not an amazing comparison, but if your favorite baseball team traded for someone you didn't know well you'd look into it. You'd wanna know who the person you're spending time watching hit in the minors, do they hit for power etc.

So wanting to know if she started playing 2/5 a few years ago went on a heater and just rose up grinding, if she has a huge tournament score, or if she's just a trust fund kid screwing around seems fair.

I mean this site has threads tracking people's wins and losses online monthly

yes

She seems to be playing better post-chin

Hi sir! Hope you're doing well during the pandemic. Gotta say though, your takes here are pretty horrible.

1) poker bunny is terrible for the game/atmosphere. I only play like ~10 hours a month these days but playing with her for a couple of hours was the most unpleasant experience I've had playing poker the last few years. She's condescending towards fish, talked non-stop about GTO/solvers/plugging in hands to whatever it is that cool kids do now, and tanked a looong ass time during hands. Basically everything you'd hate to see in a winning poker player.

Because of how insufferable she was, I stalked her on twitter when I went home that night. She just so happened to post on youtube/twitter about how she took an IQ test and scored 145 or something. Kinda a weird gal

2) RR and spy are right about the asian culture. IIRC RR lived in asia for a while. and Spy is actually asian.

true.

lol A+

People ask these types of questions to gauge how much respect to show a person

1) What??? I slammed her for her girlish attire/makeup at the table. You slam her for her poker demeanor at the table. But my take is bad??? Though I do have to say that a hot girl that plays high limit stakes poker and is geeky enough to dive into solver technology is pretty damn cool.

2) The implication here is that talking about salaries in the Asian is OPEN and ACCEPTED. Not gossipy talk among friends. Hell, I learn all kinds of stuff when the team goes out to drink with our manager and he has one too many drinks. Insightful info but it's done in every culture. Gossiping about numbers.

But let's unpack what it really means to openly talk about salaries in the Asian culture.
- Are salaries talked about openly at the family gatherings? Uncles/Aunts/Grandparents/Nieces/Nephews and friends/strangers. What happens when Daddy, an IT veteran professional finds out, his young daughter is now making MUCH more than him with a hot crypto startup???
- Are salaries talked about openly at the corporate workplace? Can the employees ask their manager how much he/she is making? And then ask their colleagues, out in the open with other team members listening, how much they are making???

The can of worms that is opened when people are allowed to discuss these things can range from hurt feelings to jealousy to anger to resentment. I found my girlfriend makes WAY more than me. Am I man enough to accepted that? Is that ok?

Google "gender pay disparity in asia". Asia is the same as any other culture. Women get paid less than men. This idea about being open with your salary would seem to suggest that such an open culture would base pay on merit. But Asia is the same as any other place ie men rule.

Real life scenario.
- Manager A (Executive Director, male) makes $250k-ish at a major Wall Street firm in IT. 12 year experience.
- Manager B (ED, female) reports to A makes $175k-ish. 12 year experience.
- Team Member (VP, male) reports to B makes $190k-ish. 25 year experience.
- Team Member (non-title, female) reports to B makes $140k-ish. 7 year experience.

Female team member studies really hard for a year doing Leetcode. She goes out on the tight IT labor market and gets following offer $250k (big tech firm), $340k (big crypto brokerage) and $380k (big media firm). Is the female team member that much better than every one else? No she isn't. Trust me on that. But beyond the fact it's a tight labor market causing the spike in pay (America is a BEAUTIFUL country ). Think about the consequences of letting Manager A/B and senior Team member know OPENLY about what she got offered. How about Manager B making less than Team member VP?? Major Wall Street firm starts to lose a lot of good people. Either that or they have to adjust salaries. I've seen this happened before in my career.

Now think about a similar scenario in the before mentioned family setting. How it might affect the family balance when Dad knows his daughter is making way more than him? Think about how this would play out in YOUR every day life. You find out your wife makes way more than you? You found out as a manager that you are the least paid member of the team?

These scenarios have nothing to do with just the Asian culture, as it's applicable to ANY culture.

Update: lol, and for those Asian people or otherwise who call b*llshit on my real life scenario. All I can say is point proven. Think about it.

Near 100% of parents would be very happy their child makes way more than them.

It's ok Mr Mom. Take some pictures when your wife is out taking down the big bucks and you are changing diapers with baby and making dinner.

I'm sure being beta all your life with your big sisters being the alphas in the family doesn't make you insecure. How's that dress, Nancy!

I KIDDDDDDDDD! I KIDDDDDDDDDDDD! Mr Rick understands that!!! This is an altruistic, kumbaya life we live in.

I'm still trying to marry a rich beautiful young woman so I don't have to work. Easier said than done though.
