What's the score ... Berkey ain't that interesting and Nik is a crybaby, but the score updates gotta be in the thread somehow

Yeah I definitely agree. I would say you could try make the ratio longer depending on body weight. So like if you had Berkey and Airball, you would say maybe 1hr poker 2 mins boxing.

If you had maybe a Charlie Carrel vs Vanessa Selbest it would be 45 min poker 2 min boxing.

Here is an example

I would pay good money to see Airball dance around like a fairy and get knocked out.

Yeah there are all sorts of reasons he might not want to do it. But I think that Berkey has a better chance of profiting from the game overall by keeping it as it is

One of the primary reasons Berkey didn't want it streamed was that he didn't want Doug "Coinflex Doug" Polk to benefit in any way.

Or course, a major reason was to make sure Airball's advisors won't have any hand histories of his to review.

Another reason is that he wanted Airball's showmanship neutralized.

Change of Subject:

It should be Slap Fighting not boxing as many here have suggested and agreed to.

Just absolutely insufferable
And he had his traveling hype man/laugh track with him on top of it. I guess "Brown Balla" just goes wherever Nick goes? Emotional support human I think he's referred to

most people would. but seriously, matt berkey would put fatball in the hospital for at least a week, and probably put him in a coma. i mean, we're talking brain damage and permanent CTE.

Agreed. I don’t think that fairy has ever been punched in his life. He would go down like Humpty Dumpty.

There’s no shot that Airball can go from his current lifestyle to grinding excel spreadsheets for 60+ hr/wk for relative peanuts. He’d have to go broke and get cut off from his wife’s money to be that desperate.

Airballs gonna lose the million and quit. But he's gonna spin it as Berkey isn't playing his own money, we're not playing big enough blah blah blah.

Damn I want a fan club too!!

I'll admit I've hated on Berkey in the past but I am happy to see him win here. He also handled himself absolutely perfectly on the HSP stream which is way more than we can say for the "one other person he respected as a poker player"

Anyway no shocker here if airplane keeps playing he is gonna lose a M.. was inevitable..

Proof again of why poker is almost always a losing proposition. A relatively intelligent person with a good career trajectory going broke and wasting his career to your standard meathead. That's poker and Berkey is an ace hustler by coming off as dim-witted. You've been duped, Airgun.

Kids: if you have a decent degree from college, get yourself a job and get your poker jollies being a troll on this website. It'll save you a lot of money. And time.

Airball: Quit, get in shape and start over in finance.

It's not like Berkey had schilled some scam crypto that a successful business man was mentioning and over again and had to do deal with any actual material.

Also damn the cringe was pretty hard on Doug being in the hotseat but he handled it well if not slightly leaning to hard into laughing it off but what the holy fack could anyone else do in his shoes. It's a shitty spot and hes never been anything but honest about it. It's obvious there wasn't going to be a good faith discussion on it and hes talked about his side in length elsewhere.
