Charlie did suggest that society should be more compassionate to child molesters. He titled a video, "What it's like being a young millionaire". He's cringey and unlikeable. But a horrible person? I don't know. Watch the video and see what you think.

that was honestly a very bad video. he isn't really wrong about the pedophile thing, but he worded it in the wrong way to try to rile people up. He could of said something like "if we were compassionate towards people with attraction to children, some may seek treatment and learn how to deal with or control their urges"
It's a really dumb challenge, $250 > $10,000 is a lot easier and it's way easier to save an extra $200 in real life money than torture yourself at micro stakes. No idea where this $50 number came from
$50 comes from the old days of online poker. That's the amount me and many others started with.
So much back and forth about whether or not this guy is a dickhead, did he even do the challenge? Does this idiot even ****ing play poker? Or can the mods just lock this up.
Was just reading about Chris Fergusons bankroll challenge, here are some quotes from when he apparently did it in 2006 and took him 1.5 years
After making it to the $10,000 mark Ferguson even ran his bankroll up to $28,000, which gave him the chance to play $25/$50. Then the big downswing hit.
“At $28,000 I was able to play $25/$50 No-Limit," Ferguson said, "and I lost down to $20,000, $15,000, then $10,000. And I actually went below $10,000.
"At that level, according to my rules, I could only play the $5/$10 games and then when my bankroll dipped below $8,000 I could only play the $2/$4 game.”
Playing $25/50 with 5 full buy ins down to 10k, then 10 buy ins for $5/10
Is this the challenge Doug was trying to recreate when he first did it?

No I wouldn't say so. Ferguson's challenge was 10000x harder than either of these because it was starting from zero. He had to cash in freerolls. SO then he would go sit at like a 2nl tables without even a full buyin, catch a cooler and then go back to freerolls. Now obviously the games were 100x softer back then. But still, lets see anyone try something like this only starting with freerolls.
Doug's BR challenge came about because Twitch chatters would often comment about how the stuff he was doing wouldn't work at their stakes. People suggested a challenge, and then a poll was held to determine stakes, with 100->10k winning by a large margin.

Not as hard as ppl think. I did 0-30k on coin poker in a couple weeks
I did 250->25k in about 4 months on Bovada a few years ago. I started short buying into 50nl and moved up to 100nl at 2500, 200nl at 5k and 400nl and 600nl when I hit 10k. All full ring.
The challenge is back on, he appears to be streaming semi regularly now. If he can beat microstakes playing how he does it'll say a lot about the importance of reads and timing tells even online
Hey mrno, in fairness, Charlie is right that anyone speaking against him should put their money where their mouth is. I'll do a bet with you.
So you've given 5:1 that he beats 10nl eventually. How about we do 4:1 that he beats 25 nl zoom Pokerstars by the end of the year. Don't bother about escrow, I will send you the money, you've my word. My 20 bucks to your 80. No dick swinging money, just enough for a fun sweat. I did say I doubted him so I at least should offer that Im not totally full of sh*t.
Caveats to this bet being completed:
- No bumhunting, Pokerstars zoom only.
- 25nl zoom to be beaten means that he needs to be rolled for 50nlz by the end of it. (I think 2k roll is reasonable).
- Any tournament wins that jump the roll he has to win the difference of at 50nlz. (e.g roll may be 2k but if 1500 of that was winning the hot 4.40, then he still has to win 1500 at 50nlz before you win the bet.)
- All winnings verifiable via twitch streaming. None of this 200nlz 'highlights' business, I could release a highlights video of me playing 5knl if I was rolled for it and look baller.
Well. Looks like I can extend my 2019 assessment to another year lol. Still at 10nl. Except consensus now should probably be me giving odds rather than the other way around.
