Looks like S4Y are taking your advice....

Although I would say that if this game goes on too long people will lose interest in it

I've lost interest and its only been down a day or two or whatever lol

As for the PA comparison, Berkey looks like a Reno cocktail waitress or an old lady smashing slot buttons that has smoked like 3 packs of cigarettes a day her whole life. Was quite shocked to see he's only 41.

Berkey looks like a herbivore turtle that is outside his shell. PA looks like a carnivore turtle that is outside his shell.

Third option: he is staked by the HCL ownership to come in as the new villain/heel star of the show.

That actually surprised me as Lynn has made videos with Berkey before..

But Lynn is also a trustfund or Crypto whale...surprised she would need to be loaned money.

Some of my thoughts exactly. Think it was more then one poster in this thread who went out of their way to let everyone know they don't judge men's looks when talking about Antonious and Berkey as if they thought everyone would think they were gay or something if they did. Pretty sure most adult men be able to look at some of those high stakes poker tables and identify Antonious as the best looking dude at the table with Doyle, Hellmuth, etc etc. Doesn't make them gay.

Same with the Lynn girl in the tub, I'd actually consider her above average actually, but nothing crazy special. See plenty of girls like her all the time with much less then 9's. See girls like that with nerdy or ugly guys all the time.

That kind of "I don't look at men" commenting is usually just part of the culture they grew up or are currently around and is more of a colloquialism than something they've really thought through.

High stakes gambling + below average poker skills + LA/Vegas high roller lifestyle. Easy recipe for torching large sums of money and even a pile will go quick when you aren’t actively earning anything. Even with millions, you can’t sustain that lifestyle for very long. Not saying this is necessarily her situation, but it wouldn’t be far fetched.

Even below avg players can slaughter soft private games. Best kept secret in poker is biggest stakes have the biggest fish. Most important skill in poker to make the most money is social engineering (not to be confused with being the best).

Can you give some examples of this?

"solve for why"

That's so clever. Because, sometimes in math, you have to solve for y. But he changed it to why. And in poker there is math

Uber rich whales wanting to play PLO and have a good time invite players capable of producing a good time.

A subpar reg prints because the game’s 25/50 but plays like <0.02/0.01. The whales want to show off their ability to punt as quickly as possible to signal to the cocktail waitresses they have money to blow.

I speak from experience

it's also funny how many poker players were C students in high school algebra but are now "math guys".

To be fair, passing high school algebra makes you a math wizard compared to the average American.

Brilliant observation. I hadn't noticed it myself. Thanks for pointing it out. I was at Pre-Algebra my senior year. But I was on the Dean's List in Home Economics. Again, thanks.

Yep you aint getting into these stupid soft super nosebleed games wearing a hoody/headphones and being an antisocial mute. The most profitable player in poker is probably someone youve never heard of.

If you haven't gotten to Algebra until high school, you will never be a math wizard.

I was always quite good at math but rubbish at algebra because I’m not very good at spelling.

I mean, DP is a total sociopath, he isnt gonna devote much effort to coaching Nik if he doesn't have some obvious financial or other gain. And I don't think "credit" for nik beating Berkey in a live cash game is enough. Doubt he believes he would get much credit for that and I think he'd be right.
