Berkey looks bad overall as he keeps coming up with reasons to not play but WTF at Airball wanting his friend at the table. Having to put up with one obnoxious loud mouth is bad enough. A second is unreasonable.

Doug Polk should pay the A-Side $60,000 if he wins (B-Side gets 40k if he loses) and the B-Side should be paid $55,000 if he wins and A-Side loser gets $45,000. Both players must obviously first agree on who the top billed A-Side is and who the secondary billed B-Side is before they begin their match.

If Berkey loses, he has to wear a COINFLEX shirt, hat, and jacket for 180 days.

If Airball loses, he has to wear a Solve for Why shirt, hat, and jacket for 180 days, as punishment for calling Berkey a scammer.

The looser should HAVE TO suffer more than money... some physical and psychological embarrassing is in order!

This whole thing isn’t even entertaining. It’s petty and embarrassing from both parties tbh. Like it’s not even organic, the angles that everyone is taking from both a media point of view and also player is so WWE. Predictable , boring, not really even that funny. I actually feel sorry for Galfond in this spot, he must be just like what the f…

Agreed...hard pass

The trash talk before the poker will be better than the actual poker

Berkey seems to think that Nik is trying to get coaching help and he wants to minimize how much data can be analyzed to be used against him. If Berkey were to agree to streaming, he'd probably want no hole card cameras and/or a seven week delay.

Just saw the latest s4y and frankly they came off like some sorta high-school clique. Thar conrad dude is irritating af

If Berkey was confident he wouldn't care if nik got coaching. Away from the table of course. Didn't Dnegs have a team of people helping him between sessions?

It was definitely off the rails yesterday. Berkey needs to take back the reins of the podcast. Landon's Ok most of the time until he starts constantly saying "bussin" "based" "mid" "let's ****ing go".........good lord.

Man...usually in these matches I have someone to root for...but when it's two of the most unlikeable characters in today's poker...not sure where to go with this one.

he should let the friends come as it is more pressure for Airball to perform. Every hand airball loses will be an embarrassment if his friend is there. Can also let friend look at his hand and then look at both of their face. Friend also helps Airball to be distracted.

doug polk to coach nikairball after berkey continues to act like a bitch

I'm not really sure I understand why Berkey didn't take Doug's 100k offer. Does he hate Texas that much? Does he hate Doug that much? If he did hate Doug, surely taking 100k of his money would be satisfying for him, right? Is he afraid Doug will make fun of his plays? Doug has been making fun of Berkey's plays for ages, so what's the difference?

Should be streamed even if no hole cards. Because of the banter, it would still be entertaining without hole cards. And both sides should have cheering sections. It would be wild. Chin and Landon could wind up ganging up on Vertucci in a fist fight. Pro-Airball Mariano and pro-Berkey Rampage could become enemies for life after Airball 1 outs Berkey on an all in pot. Coinflex Doug would run out of the room like a chicken at the first signs of trouble. Joe Ingram and Phil Galfond would be martyrs in stepping in between both sides during the rumble, all in the name of peace. Conrad would just be laughing like hyena in the corner. And yes, Robbi and Garrett would be there too, along with Perrson and Rip. Bryan would be safe inside the control room.

He doesn't want to get embarrassed in front of the world. Would also give Doug advertising even if Doug's losing 100k.

He should negotiate price and embrace it.

Berkey needs to realize he acts like a joke and therefore is always going to be treated like one.

He needs to pivot and learn to take it in fun and evolve for the better.

Give, take, improve, share, everyone gets a piece of the cake off the promotion

I know this is a difficult ask, but I think it’s a lesson he absolutely needs to learn ASAP.

berkey rightfully refuses to play on the the unsafe, unprotected "coinflex" stream

Doug is making the offer because he stands to make considerably more from the advertising. So no, I don't think it would be satisfying to give Dougs stream, cardroom, and upcoming tournament series that kind of advertising

Lots of rubes can't see the forest for the trees with this whole mess

WTF is happening

Talks so much **** online and shits his pants at the slightest confrontation, that's hilarious.

Is it possible for both to lose? Can't really say Im rooting for either guy at this point. Cringe.

Getting serious.

Sounds like you want a circus

What's the line on the number of times Polk watched this before jizzing himself
