What exactly are they going to charge him with though? Hitting on a girl through text?

I mean don't get me wrong....what he said was cringey and I could obviously see how it would make someone uncomfortable, but it's not like they are coworkers or he's her superior, she choose to continue playing in those games.

There are no charges per se as none of this rises to a criminal matter, but i think the likely civil lawsuit would come from Lauren who would allege a hostile work environment, wrongful termination, retaliation for being a whistleblower, etc.

The players who are not invited to play or who faced a hostile environment while playing would have a much tougher civil case.

Holy **** I didn't have me gaining some respect for Nick Airball on my 2024 bingo card yet here we are.

Cheers!!!

You think this is limited to the 3 people that are now known? This behavior likely spans a long timeframe. I don't know any of the details with the dealer, but if she was a whistleblower and got terminated, then there are a lot of dominoes yet to fall. From what we know, I doubt any criminal charges will happen, but it seems like civil lawsuits are imminent.

hard lol on the man who repeatedly called out cancel culture and being a real man and sticking up for yourself deleting their twitter because they can't take the heat

lliterally puts this at the beginning of all his youtube vids



such a tiny little fake man

Lol he is not in “position of power” even though he might try to be as the show runner. Women like Julia and Kitty are not his employees. They are his customers. They can get up and take their business elsewhere, which they did. You can’t send him to jail for being a creep with no game.

Lauren’s situation may be different because she is more like a co-worker or employee than customer.

Looks like Brill is turning on Nick

**** Brill, she is as bad as Vertucci..

She knew what she signed up for when she aligned with him, and that article is straight up bullshit as she is using it trying to brand herself as the victim in all of this.

Shun her from the community

it’s almost certainly him trying to salvage things after his daughters/wife being humilated by his jackass behavior…he’s dying to tweet rn.

wish there was an audio version only, the amount of lip filler she has is unsettling

That’s not how poker works. Professional players are closer to contractors than customers. I don’t know anything about the Lauren woman, but Kitty’s livelihood is based in getting into soft lineups and expanding her brand. We only have her side of the story, but when you look at the winnrates of the few pros who make it onto HCL games, turning down his advance was likely a 7 figure decision. How is that not a position of power?

very well stated

kitty is not profitable and comes from a very wealthy family - she's just another version of helloit'slynne, keating, kessler and nikairball who are too embarassed to admit they are jobless trust fund degens and instead like to cosplay as people who "have jobs" and thus identify as "professional poker players"

as far as that cohort of people goes, kitty seems to be doing it well where her focus is on international travel and mixing in poker on the side




but that doesn't change that nick was still in a position of power over her and turning down nick's smorgasboard of dick pics was still a bad career move for her as it meant less exposure which she needs for sponsors and soft lineups which are probably the only times she's profitable

airball claims to be a pro, can't even beat the hcl lineup


keating claims to be a pro


lynne claims to be a pro


kessler claims to be a pro (he loses 6 figures nearly every year, 2023 was a good year by his standards only losing 93k and don't forget the costs of traveling the tourney circuit)

lol I wonder if Nick Vertucci has some Diddy level blackmail on Ryan.

He could have probably denied the dick pick thing as it was off stream but he's trying to justify it as a joke.

I don't think Veronica deserves the hate, these texts are the first response from Nick since this stuff came out

Lol. Incel Nick defenders in this thread in shambles

LOLOL back to a fake mall cop and real estate scammer he goes....

bring back billy.

it's a decent concept...but sorry dude, your show is boring as **** without hole cards

Damnn PugDolk must be devastated

Uhh do u know kitty’s history? Her 1st husband was a crusher and she played a lot in Vegas before it was a thing to become instagram famous and held her own in the 10-20 20-40 games from what I saw. Never heard about her family having money but seems kinda irrelevant Russell definitely made enough to live off poker even if she couldn’t but I’d be shocked if she didn’t given what I saw.

Meh. I think he should have manned up and apologized rather than acting like a coward. But can’t say I feel sorry for him.

It’s not like he’s being canceled for a joke he made, he’s legitimately a creep.

kitty's parents own one of the biggest companies in taiwan - seems like you're the one who doesn't know her history

and big lol at thinking being married to a good player will magically make someone else talented jfc that's some of the dumbest thinking i've ever heard anyone ever say out loud
