I think he is okay. I am not a fan of his as such, I am basically neutral. But he is worth watching if you're interested in poker. Poker/life/the world would be a dull place if everyone was too similar and too conformist.

But he is also an easy target to attack, because he is different. So I say, think before you attack him. You might be doing something more unfair or more unkind than it seems.

Same for me, and I've still got most of that $50

Post of the year nomination.

Was watching his stream sometime last week and it was pretty cringing. He seems out of touch with reality and in some form of constant conflict, which the faux meditating and sort of weirdly trying to harmonise with the music seems to be an escape from. Nothing personal - I was viewing totally objectively and was once in a similar mental state after a long trip to India and indulging in similar thoughts/practises.

For the record, I have nothing against meditation/spirituality and quite the contrary, but what he was doing was not meditation or spiritual

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned itt but he claimed on stream a week or two ago that he was a better live poker player than Linus...

Not sure if it's all just an act or if hes just a really awkward dude because I would assume to crush poker as he has you need to have strong logic and critical thinking skills.

After listening to him chat on his stream for a bit it would seem that he probably has some major psyche or mental health issues. He sounded like the dude from the aliens are real tv show.

He claimed he heard a voice in his head which spoke to him and told him to create a charity. He heard words from the voice which he did not know the meaning of until looking into them.

You're giving him too much credit IMO. The guy just ran well in a few tournaments.

It did seem to me like I was just watching mental illness in action. Most of the streamers seem to have some level of neurosis going on (maybe most people do to some extent at least) but Charlie seemed to have a wildly incoherent perception of reality. It seems he's kind of preventing himself from any sort of spirituality by trying to be spiritual, which is ironic

"I've been patiently waiting for a thread to post on" - 50 cent

$50 to $10k? wtf is this? 2012?

Ditto, couldn't agree with you more.

I can't stand the faux spirituality, and over-all lack of genuine-ness seeping through...

We get it Charlie. You think saying positive things, doing stuff for the sake of karma in the hopes that if you rub the nuts of the universe just so, that you will get the desires of your heart. We all know its money and attention that you want, but hey, at least your trying to balance (launder) the perceptions of your real intentions for onlookers as being more philanthropic and less about simply feeding your narcissism.

If you really gave a damn, do those good deeds in private. It speaks more to your lack of character when try to parade your good deeds/intentions on the down low... Stop waterboarding people ad nauseum about how spiritual you are by constantly "name dropping" that you are meditating, we see through the persona. I don't give a damn how many kale enemas you inject yourself with and how close they make you to aligning who knows what chakra.

It’s called covert narcissism Charlie, that’s what you are struggling with.

Now I understand you may want to throw stones and say I’m a bitter person and I don’t have money and I’m being judgemental and have bad vibes, yada, yada, yada. Hey maybe you’re right, but at the end of the day, I’m thankful that I’m not being Eiffel Towered between two opposing ideologies via my words and my deeds.

Where is he at atm on his 10k quest?

Haha *mic drop*

what's so wrong with wanting money and attention?

He insulted Polk and 2+2 can't have that.

Yeah I got Polk's back.

Kinda feel bad about what I said, whether it's true or not. But definitely making a mockery of meditation when he's struggling for motivation to play poker and repeatedly saying "we're gonna meditate our way through this". What I observed of the guys mental state was so far from being a contingent of actual meditation

Absolutely nothing.

But don't try and subvert the fact that you want money and attention by being a hack and acting like you don't want money or attention...

Does someone know the link of spotify playlist Charlie is using in his last video?

I also wonder if his HUD is shared anywhere?
