No info on his bust out however other updates from PokerNews make him look pretty loose.

Yeah.... there is a much higher chance of him running a crazy bluff and being called than him getting it in good and being coolered!

I could see him being banned from some places if he pressed really hard like this guy (Vegas limo driver degen who also had big inheritance). Some casino management are nitty and don't want someone who could run it up too big even if they're -EV.

Joe has a long history of winning big at the casinos. So much so, and this is clearly true, about a dozen of them in Las Vegas have kicked him out. He says most of them think he cheats. Nobody could be that lucky, they say. Among the places where he's still allowed to play, none wanted their names mentioned, or would allow me to record in their casinos today. So we were limited to taping outdoors, where most of Joe's game happens anyway.

George They think he counts cards. He doesn't. He's very good at knowing when the deck goes cold-- when there's not a chance of winning. If I would own a casino and have 1,000 Joes walking around in my casino I'd be out of business in short order.

I see the numbers. There's not a player in this place, like in any casino I've ever been in, that has won more than they lost.

I'd say never, when you see the cumulative numbers.

losing players definitely do get backed off from time to time. a lot of the time casino staff don't really know what is going on. are they an advantage player? are they cheating somehow? are they just getting lucky? they just back off on aggregate win alone.

Not really a go big or go home. More like play dumb and either dont care or dont know any better? Dont have bust out hand but this was prob the beginning of his decline.

Not sure stack sizes and dont know all the action but looks like he had 100+ bigs when he decided this A2 was good or decided it would be good idea to try to bluff 3 others out of a pot. I guess he was bored and wanted to get back to his professional baccarat business

Wouldn't it have been easier to just post a link rather than a screenshot?

Here is the only other hand of Mikki's, rather ridiculous play:

Oh Mikki, what a pity, they don't understand
You got a gamblers heart and you're certainly not a scam
Oh Mikki, your tats are pretty, why can't they understand?
It's guys like you, Mikki
Ooh what you do Mikki, do Mikki
Don't lose your heart, Mikki

Just curious. If he didn’t have any tattoos would you guys still think he’s a scammer or even make a thread about him? He talked about being judged by his tattoos and his point was proven whether he’s a scum or not, people are judging him

He is like one of those sound cloud rappers w no talent who gets famous bc they get face tats and look redic. If he didn’t stand out so much he wouldn’t have as many followers. Have to take the good with the bad. It helps on social media but IRL you look absurd.

on the hustler live stream he spoke briefly about it. He said he was backed off a lot of rooms in vegas. He wouldn't name any names. Said people back him for baccarat.

Is it possible to be a bac pro without using a strategy like Ivey's?

Of course it's either laundering or suckers 'backing' him & him freerolling it. I saw his stories last night and Lilbaby the rapper (who is considerably wealthy) posted about him and pictures of them playing togther. If anyone believes hes got any sort of advantage because he posts the same old stacks of cash on his instagram you're a mug. Hes great for poker, because he's a whale. You can see it's not his money, he was devastated losing most of his profit on Hustler streem, someone that swings millions playing Baccarat woul'dnt give a flying **** about winning/losing 100-200k. This is all a facade/scam, obviously.

I'm surprised his real name is Mikki Mase, that or he has an ID card that says Mikki Mase.

Any info on a possible rap sheet, jail time, homelessness, rehab stints ?

At a minimum, this guy has got to have a 'hard to believe' background.
