nik airball is a upgraded live version of isildur. suddenly coming from nowhere, a game build around natural talent and not afraid to play anyone, people initially thought isildur was a huge whale but the only way they were able to stop him was by cheating. now nik isn't a kid playing from his parents basement, he is a sharp business man with street smarts so we will see how this plays out but it is not looking good for the current pros

Nik Airball will have the staying power and long term durability that Isildur never possessed.

Rumour has it that Matt Berkey may have a bone conductor located in his hat. Has anybody conducted hue analysis to confirm or deny this claim that I've just made up in an attempt to be funny on the internet for no reason whatsoever?

For those who don't watch Hustler. Nik gets his money from his allegedly rich ass wife. He loans money all over LA. He tosses money at Lynn ji to play in private games. Which is why she's on his side in this whole thing.

Nik Airball made a major score in a few investment banking deals. He has also done well in cash games. That's where he got his bankroll. Jealousy tends to be the number one attractor of fake news about a person's financial history.

Sure buddy, sure. Keep telling yourself, until it is going to be the truth in your head eventually. Nik Airball, the successful poker player and investment banker or Nik Airball the trust fund baby/husband.... Oh well, if I only knew which option seems more likely :3

I dont believe this is true. I remember an episode of HCL where he was saying his wife is a travel nurse. They make good money but in the low 6 figures. He's either a savvy businessman like he says or a trustfund baby

kerr's first name is probably Wayne and you can quote me on that.

I've never put anyone on the ignore list on any chat forum, I am not that small minded, condescending or arrogant.

No, you’re just a verbose, contrarian, pseudo intellectual troll, with far too much time on your hands.

I just give my honest opinions. I never troll and I haven't even been posting in this thread much recently. One seven word post yesterday and nothing for a while before that.
If kerr wants to block me fine, but why does he have to post that he's doing so as if he is doing something great. It just makes him look condescending and arrogant.

He's also encouraging others to not quote my posts. That is plain and simple bullying and anyone who does that on this forum should get a warning or a temp ban.
If it's fine and allowable then I'll find every thread that kerr has posted on, tell people that he's found a place on my ignore list and ask everyone to never quote his posts.
How would that make him feel? Bullied.

I do have time, yes, to debate on topics that I am interested in. You should be a contrarian some of the time, it's called debate. On this forum in particular there is often a clique
where most, sometimes all, look through a narrow lense as poker players and fail to see other important factors or perspectives. When I see that I point it out, That is all.

There are rules on this forum about not attacking other posters. His post is clearly attacking both me and Danny Analton.

Anybody know if Berkey is equilibrilising his quadriplegic down bet blancmange range?

Nik Airball intends to drag this heads up match with Berkey out for at least 6 months. Guaranteed.

He has two objectives:

1. Marketing objective: By keeping this heads up match in the air lingering for months or more, Airball and his allies (Polk, Hustler) will continue to get free publicity from Pokernews, Cardplayer, social media, etc., including from Berkey's crew themselves. Doug "Coinflex Doug" Polk's view counts on Youtube has been consistently above 100k. Lynn and Airball will have non-stop content in their new podcast. The Lodge and Hustler (which Berkey criticized) will benefit.

2. Psychological objective: By delaying and delaying and delaying this heads up match with Berkey with excuses and excuses and excuses (vacations, restroom breaks, in-between game negotiations, illnesses, etc.), Airball will literally live inside Berkey's head. Whatever projects Berkey may have, Airball will be there as a thorn pointed at has plans, goals, deadlines, etc. Yes, Nik Airball will be a brain tumor inside Berkey's (and Landon's and Conrad's) brain.

In the meantime, Airball will talk trash, unfairly blame Berkey for any delays, and so on. The uncertainty that the openendedness and lack of closure would be a heavy storm in Berkey's life. It would be too tough to bear and cause tilt.

Nik Airball is the master psychological strategist. Future hall of famer. Legend in the making.

What Berkey should be doing now is to ask himself, "How can this delay benefit Solve for Why?" "How can this delay be counter-exploited at the table?" In other words, Berkey should think "offense is the best defense."

I cant really evaluate dudes either, but I know Berkey got in the tub with Lynne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzs-PYjDLwk&t=219s . Im sure he's not the only one, but I doubt anyone under a 9 is getting in there.
Yes you can evaluate dudes it doesnt make you gay. It doesnt take much to get into a tub with an average looking asian girl. Berkey is slightly above average hes not anywhere near PA.

as the months goes by, nik will likely start playing closer to his a game instead of spoofing around to give twitter some content to discuss. it is not unreasonable that doug is paying him to be able to claim upswing poker is the reason behind the improvement. it's win win for nik and polk. an extra revenue stream for nik, publicity worth millions for upswing

A dude with that personality will never have an A game. Ego defeats all of these wannabes. Look how absurdly disciplined and robotic Garrett had to be to win, and that's against arguably one of the softest lineups that has existed in poker since the early 2000s.
