He was prob trying to sabotage the match so it wouldn’t start, Berkey claimed he wasn’t backing him and just bet him in side bets, not sure who exactly was backing him but I feel if Landon only has 5/10% of himself then it was reckless to even start, Berkey tweeted that he will be in Tahoe for week and mostly offline, how convenient.

At least get his name right guys. There's no G in it, it's Lindon

Can we just ban this guy and be done with it? His last 3 posts ITT have confirmed he's a clown.

Pretty sure requesting a ban is more ban worthy than his posts.

these posts are pretty disgustingly insensitive, tbf.

Yea this guy deff has some issues

I'd rather not have to delete all the "questionable" recent posts commenting on a certain topic and possibly hand out temp-bans.

How about if we simply no longer post anything on that topic in this thread?

Thanks much.

i agree to some extent, but the "tough talk w himself" deserves a lambasting. just a stream of thinly veiled excuses, talking about his "aura of being great" (lmao), saying what he thinks people want to hear; basically just a thirst trap for empaths. he obv loves the attn, everyone's just giving him what he wants. live by it die by it

i also have a feeling that wasn't the first take

edit: also it's lyndon guys

I thought it was London?

There is no Make-Up, that was the entire point of the deal, I listened to Berkeys explanation of it.

He wasn't entirely specific on the deal mechanics but it sounded like as soon as the fund is over $500k (2.5x growth) then LT was able to cash out at 70/30 his favour. The concept is essentially that he's given the responsibility to run the bankroll as you would we're it your own 200k, when the roll is as its lowest the guys providing the capital take the biggest risks, and get the bigger cut, as the roll grows thevrisks drop and so do the shares.


Very good system imo, not designed for a player to be in yrs of backing, designed to ultimately 1) teach the player how to manage his bankroll properly and 2) retain his capital into his own play essentially building him a bankroll for when he quits.

Make up deals are the worst thing ever, this is smart imo

The podcast he had pads on specifically mentions makeup in the deal I'm pretty sure.

Edit

OK so it turns out it's actually only when he withdraws some money as a salary that he would go into the red

for all the fuss about Landon being unprepared and Perkins being much better than expected if you look at the results graph which shows the breakeven line accounting for the 9bb/100, Landon was ahead of pace for the majority of the challenge in both actual results and EV line. Then the last ~700 hands(two sessions?) of the total ~4,900 he drops down underneath and then him and his team give up.

Pretty weak stuff. I doubt Perkins improved immensely between the earlier sessions and the last two. Maybe it wasn't as smooth of a ride as his team had expected but they gave up at the first sign of adversity.

Probably just normal math stuff. Maybe they ran a bunch of math stuff and figured that Landon was running hot and that his true evbb was in fact around 3bb/100 (total baseless speculation).

Well... then they have to run 15k more hands losing 6bb/100 to someone that is "uncoachable" while Perkins continues to close in on a skill gap. Maybe they didn't even like dealing with him as a person and some part of it was out of spite?

If they then figured they were losing the 200k sidebet a large portion of the time anyway, the added evbb/100 loss didn't make any sense to continue operations.

It's also in this case of quitting entirely up to the backers and not up to Landon. It's one of the major drawbacks to getting 97% backed on the challenge. The backers simply won't give a **** about your image / reputation as one of the functions as a consequence of quitting early.

People love to see others fail man especially at **** they've never had the chance to do.

Poker world is so ****ing dumb sometimes as if nothing exists outside of it.

This aged well...

clickr will be under 21 still next year right?

Really looking forward to this pod.

I like Joey in general, but he has pumped up more than a few problematic people in different spaces. Sasha is pretty bad at PLO, and played the worst hand of PLO I have ever seen, which I actually to a picture of for posterity. At least one cute girl who was pushing herself as a sports betting expert that was trying to hustle for tips for her tips, (and likely succeeding), and some cringey self-help dudebro that parrots standard self help crap with a large portion of misogyny and bible thumping, and now Landon. These are only the ones I am familiar with, I'm sure there's others problematic disciples/etc.

Joey is similar to crypto pumpers.

Seems Langdons coach talking back some of the stuff he said.

Please do not ever compare Landon Tice to Tom Dwan. Tom was owning the best HU players in the world at 19, put in the best session performance in televised poker history on his first HSP appearance, and has done it at the highest stakes ever played. Yes, Tom didn't finish a challenge vs Jungleman, but that was a Full Tilt promotion, so I'm fine with it dying when FT died.

Bro that's was a reply to another comment saying we'll even see if labdon is around in 5 years which is what hellmith said to dwan in that pic. Obv landon doesn't == dwan.

Hi Tom!

Alright fair point. Post intent withdrawn and props given for an excellent reference I had forgotten about.
