Actually he only brought 10k and borrowed 5k more. Something definitely doesn't pass the smell test, dude obv been lying and exaggerating and prob busto or close to it.

What a BOSS

Blasted through Zaydee's inheritance already?

Where was this at the Hustler?

^ Probably just stacks of 1's with a hundo on the outside at this point.

come on, give the guy some credit. it may also be money obtained by scamming and/or begging for stakes from gullible fanboys.

I don't care what pictures he shows from now on. We all saw a guy claiming to be filthy rich show up on a Hustler Live stream with $10,000, play like a nit and lose and borrow yes borrow another $5,000. He lost that too and left. I'm sorry but that sums up his BS in a nutshell. Let him keep showing pics after pics of money, I don't believe a word he says at this point.

There’s a good chance he gets an allowance.. confirmed busto til next week or so

If Mikki is truly an advantage player then sitting down with only $10k, playing like a nit, and not having rebuys is definitely the correct play for a player of his experience level. If he was just someone that wanted to flaunt wealth or put on an act then he would most certainly buy in deep like all the other wannabe crushers and broke degens frontin' like they have infinite money when they don't even have a couch in their apartment.

I guess you haven't seen the streams from a few months ago where he sits down with 100k or more and plays every hand and plays crazy. Seriously do you purposely just take the opposite viewpoint of the majority in every thread? The dude played on numerous streams and donked off hundreds of thousands. Now he only brings 10k and borrows 5k more and you are claiming that shows he is wealthy? Seriously your positions are so weird.

yes. he loves playing the devil's advocate aka trolling, this was just a particularly terrible effort.

Yeah I remember seeing other posters calling him out for this aka trolling all these threads but I never really paid much attention. However after this latest post by him doing again the same thing he gets called out for I see how utterly annoying and ridiculous it is.

The true stupidity is that someone would think because he only buys in for $10k that he is broke, then double down on that after he posts a photo showing close to $100k. Probably 50% of the posters saying that he is broke don't actually believe it but are just projecting their own hopes. Sorry if I don't join the 2plus2 wishful group think when it makes no logical sense whatsoever.

I did watch a previous stream where at one point he was up like $300k and he ended up losing all that profit. It seemed to affect him quite a bit, and it made me question whether he really places that big of bets if such a standard downswing could frustrate him so much. The other thing I took from it is that he is a beginning level poker player. If I knew Mikki, I would have told him that he shouldn't be playing that big in a lineup like that because the edge those pros have is much greater than the edges the casino has at table games. Whether someone told him or he learned on his own, he could have learned a valuable lesson from that game. That being said, I have not seen any other streams he was in.

I could personally buy in for $100k or $1 million and am often the most wealthy person at any table I play at. However, I normally buy in for $500 in games that sometimes I can buy in for upwards of $10k. How much I buy in for (whether $500 or $8k) has exactly zero correlation with my net worth. I'm an advantage player and have a strategy that makes sense for me and what I'm looking to accomplish. I don't know if Mikki is an advantage player, but if he is and he truly wants to become a winning poker player then buying in for $10k, playing like a nit, and not bringing reload money actually makes a lot of sense.

^ i read half of the first sentence then threw in the towel.

such a waste of time. you and RunDude should get a podcast going instead of spewing your nonsense on these forums.

ya he didn't play very good but better then when he won. if anything he needs to play even more tight its not like hes not gonna get invited back from an ev stand point

Yes, because you don't think critically or logically or add any value to the forums whatsoever. Then you get all emotionally frazzled when you encounter posters that know how to use their minds.

this is exactly it! i'm stupid and i'm holding my hands to my face crying like a little *****. it's amazing how well you know me, really!

thanks for your herculean contributions to the forums.

+10000000000

sick bluff tho, you gotta give him that, also the posture and body language so good.

Anyone who's spent any time playing live has heard this line, and it's always the same type of guy bragging on how much he "could" buy in for, back handedly mentioning his wealth while trying to appear subtle and reserved. He doesn't need the money, but he has to let everyone know it.

Net worth is directly correlated to average buy-in and gambling budget. Multimillionaires see time as value- won't see them serial-posting on poker forums all day..




Back to Mikki, "Sometimes I just wanna drown my sorrows in a fountain of wealth" is, by far, the most cringe, low effort social media flex I've ever came across. It actually makes my head hurt that someone felt satisfied when they made that.

That's completely false. I've played with lots of multi-millionaires that buy in for $500 or less. There are some pretty damn wealthy people on Twoplustwo as well. Go check out the Pen.

Not talking about Joe blow who read rich dad poor dad, drives a corolla and is worth 2m on paper. Talking decamillionaires. Talking majorities here...time=value works against every part of your theory.

Texas Wakeboard, on your theory no billionare would ever even play poker since no matter what stakes they play it's entirely inconsequential to them...

Also there are instances of quite rich winning pro poker players shortstacking 25/50 etc, simply because they find it to be the most +EV move. They could reload and 100x the money on the table, and they may have played deep in games 10x the stake, but they don't reload. They prefer not to. There are infinite examples to the contrary of your theory really.

Now if you're pointing out simply that richer people can/will on average put more money on the poker table than poorer people will then I think you're kind of attacking a strawman since no one would argue against that lol

agreed, i know several high net worth people who play min stakes blackjack and sit down at 1-2 when they go to vegas

it's true that's it's impossible to scratch that itch if you previously played bigger and now playing small but if you aren't accustomed to playing with large amounts then you'll get that endorphin rush playing any stakes - they aren't playing blackjack or poker to win money, they just want to have some fun so why spew off more if they can get the same fun from playing less?

if we removed 1-2 altogether it wouldn't prevent many people from playing poker, the recs at 1-2 could all afford to punt stacks at 2-5 as well - this is one reason why macau was so fruitful - because small and midstakes weren't options - you couldn't even play baccarat for less than $100 min bet so it forced people who'd prefer to otherwise play lower to instead play for meaningful amounts

this is definitely not true. many couldn't afford it or would play a lot less.
