His SS is equally/even more impressive.

IDK whats so controversial here!

Charlie can be a good player and Doug can be a good player the two aren't mutually exclusive! I personally believe Dougs youtube videos are good and his BRC has been entertaining, certainly doesn't mean Charlie can't also do an entertaining BRC!

Agree r.e the haircut though, whoever said "if you don't want hair in your eyes get a haircut" it's very tough to argue with that.

I watched some of his brc replays on twitch.

He seems like a good kid. I got no problems with him and he is entitled his opinions, and to make all the notes on just how awful his micro opponents are. He is also obviously very talented in MTT’s.

He is just clueless only when he talks about GTO.

No big deal.

grunch

what sites and stakes does he play?

what kind of brm does he follow?

thx

Haha the bitterness of the failing micro grinders is amusing

I thought he won 10k in a tourney?

I'm guessing his BR Challenge on Stars? It almost seems like he has an easy button with him next to Polk's Challenge cuz he plays on a site with sick liquidity and an awesome multitabling setup. Doug couldn't even use a tracker/hud and had to play on LOLWSOP.com. 77 gets to grind the biggest site with the best software, his and the site's and grinded poker a crappy lil regulated site. Not really the same game as Doug couldn't even get game going at low stakes at time lol.

He did, but it's not part of the challenge. He's playing WCOOP now, challenge resumes at the conclusion of WCOOP.

He's actually pretty entertaining to watch play, much more so than I expected. Not Doug, but still better than anyone else since AJ quit streaming poker. I hate watching mtt'ers almost as much as I hate playing mtt's, but he even makes mtt's entertaining.

And fwiw, he plays cash games much better than I expected, again, he's not Doug, but he's better than anyone else since AJ stopped streaming poker. He's got a long way to go learning to set up and run his stream well, but the poker side of it is quite legit. I knew he played well, but he also teaches well if you're paying attention.

But still, he's not Doug, and he's definitely not AJ, ..someone bring back AJ, please ...c'mon Papi, start a bring back AJ campaign?

agreed smart guy when talking about poker..

im well out of it... but whos aj?

This point is redundant I prefer sites with strict predatory software policy's and smaller sites hence why $60k dollars were made in my one and only HU session on Virgin recently. The best games are found on smaller sites without this nerd HUD software crap that now goes far beyond HEM or PT.

I want this red line, and I would do dirty dirty things to get it

Having a sarcastic dig at Charlie and his girlfriend is out of order IMO.

He declared on his podcast that he had/has Asperger syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome and his girlfriend has Dissociative identity disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissoc...ntity_disorder (DID) and was very open about some of the effects that this can have on people with these conditions.

To mock these conditions has echoes of the kind of social and governmental attitudes that were common place pre 20th Century.

More appropriate IMO would be to commend them both on striving to and achieving self improvement within themselves as people, which is something that Charlie also discussed.

Asperger’s? Other than some issues with boundaries he seems reasonably socially adept and likeable. If that guy is autistic I wonder what that makes me lol.

Aspergers I believe is a milder form of Autism and people with it can also diminish its impact and effects through their own efforts of self-improvement and self-awareness and through general learning and experience, which it appears he has done all of big time.

Tbh, I knew little about it until watching the podcast and subsequently reading up on it...... on Wikipedia of course!

A big added value of Chicago Joey's poker life podcasts is that they cover so many areas of life other than poker.

yeah but this is the internet, it's not real life

What you're seeing is sheer brain power to compensate for the lack of intuition when it comes to social interaction. Of course it comes at a cost because it is very stressful but don't be surprised when people turn out to be autistic.

Nothing unusual here. SrslySirius works for Doug Polk, he is at least editing his videos or something, get salary from him and this is his job to do also. Yes it is very annoying to read his panegyrics about his boss, but it is a free forum.

easy mate, just bluff more and not get to showdown.

makes sense now why the DP no1 ass kisser is like this, hanging off his ball bag, getting all defensive replying to every bad comment about DP, getting his panties in a twist and now it all becomes clear.
