Surely this would have to be with some sort of handicap similar to Landon vs Perkins

If this is just a straight game then it has to be incredibly -EV for airball

I dunno man,with Airbag you never know. Totally agree that playing an opponent of Garretts caliber has to be massively -EV.

Wondering how long until he is busto to be honest,he is losing at a massive clip recently.

Re: Garrett - didn’t Airball challenge him? Hard for him to ask for a handicap now if he challenged him.

Imagine thinking that you could beat someone by harassing them with table chatter to rattle them, but then then instead you take nonstop breaks to constantly give them time to regroup.

The IRS must love these $1 million publicly reported matches. They are on a low/mid 6 figure freeroll!

Here’s the clip of Airball saying ANYONE 500/1000! That includes Garrett… but he’ll never accept it

Talking **** about now good you are,how much they suck and being belligerent about it -then getting your head smashed in so bad you quit halfway through.

Also it was like less than a week ago on Poker Go that Nik was essentially calling Matt a p-ssy and begging him to play bigger.
1000/2000 let’s go Berkey!!! Let’s go play bigger! Play bigger!

Than quits at the absolute first opportunity

Just an absolute bag of sh-t

I wonder if family members of Nik Airball know he's a degenerate gambler ?
The end of Nik Airball is coming sooner than he thinks.

Now, he is a model of self-discipline, class, and maturity. And the publicity for Solve4Y has been insane.....and more than free!!!

Nik Airball won because even though it cost him money, the defeat actually will work as a meta-sandbag that will magnetize mega-whales into his domain. This would allow him to eventually recoup that 1 million "investment" in multiples. Years from now he'll look back at that money lost to Berkey as an excellent front-end investment that yielded great returns in the long run.

Doug Polk won because somehow his Coinflex situation has been pushed aside and his content are getting more views than ever.

More importantly, the poker community won big because the match, even though not streamed, brought some much needed excitement into the game.

Losing a million dollars being spun as a W is… interesting
