That K high call off versus Keating was sick.

It boggles my mind that many of ya'll (not you) get mad at players and berate them for playing bad. We need people to play bad. We need people like Mikki playing like a fish and picking up big wins to inspire the youth to give us all their money.

Doesnt he get his money by getting random people on twitter to stake him ?

I don't get angry but it does boggle my mind how players like Mikki never get better no matter how much they play

Mikki tells the camera with a straight face that he's a blackjack advantage player, but can't do the most basic ****ing adding and subtracting of pot sizes lmao

"How much is it?......... And how much more is that?"

Legit 75 IQ

edit: I'm not hating on him for being a bad player btw, I'm hating on him for being a seemingly bad person

Mikki blowing his top after overplaying TT v QQ (he 3! pre and QQ calls). SPR is just under 1. flop 8-8-2. Mikki bets half pot Ryusuke jams and Mikki calls without thinking. they run it twice and Mikki picks up flush draw on turn on first and bricks out. second run out turn is Qs ending the hand and the poker gods put a T on the river for the lolz. pot was $560k

Mikki berates himself for the next few minutes about why does he play so bad, why does it happen to him all the time, all the outs he had on the first runout with the turn and i brink it, etc.

"how many hours wasted just sitting here" - he says a few minutes later

scoreboard after 12 hrs w stream still going



edit: Mikki was down to $40k and grinded his stack up to half a milly earlier. also, they cut to Wesley looking at Mikki with this sly grin on his face

Nice summary....Mikki went from 40k to 500k!! That is wild..... and then punted it back after

Nah, I just saw him mentioned as one of the teams in the pit bike competition but didn't actually watch it. I assume he is sprinkled through out it at different points.

Hard to watch Mikki right now. Playing a short stack and acting like a sad sack, down over $300k. He was about to hero call Keating on the river with TT on KJxxx board and Keating told him “don’t call” because he felt bad. Mikki called anyway, lost, and then flipped for his last $50k. He won the flip, so now he is back in the game.

i saw that. a PLO flip. Mikki was on 100k after winning the flip and wanted to flip again. the table talked him out of it. Mikki said, "what is a 100k anyway (in this game)"?

I think it's very difficult for most people to change. Even a lot of very successful people(not saying that is or is not Mikki) just are who they are and that happens to make them successful.

They ended up flipping three times. The content is amazing/degen. He just left stuck like 500K. That might be GG

Everyone racking up after AA vs TT vs Mikki's QJ offsuit after limping utg a 35K straddle from Ryusuke

TT of Wesley flops and holds off the 4 flush draw of Keating on river. Crazy preflop action in this hand

Looks to me like Mikki Mase should prolly stop playing poker. Quit gambling all together.

So yeah, he's f***ed.

For a self proclaimed baccarat pro / advantage BJ player who has been “banned from every casino except 2 in the US”, Mikki looked more like he lost way too much money at the end of the stream.

The commentators were over the top in their placating of Mikki, describing him as “smart” multiple times. At one point Mikki was confused for several minutes over how much more he had to call when he bet $60k and Hanks went all in for $242k. If you can’t figure out what 24-6 is then poker might not be your game.

It was really obvious watching the stream that even the whales like Keating were joining in to not tap the tank and keep Mikki in the game.

Last hand of the night and Mikki's in a 3w all-in. When Mikki's drawing dead ott, Keating and Wesley, "I'm done after this hand". Love to see it. It's depressing watching Mikki play. Dude agonizes over the simplest spots while living a lie. Sad ****.

As much as a scammer / fraud Mikki is, every stream he's on is literally 10/10 entertainment. So there's that.

so shady Wesley picks up two stacks of chips off the table while the dealer is trying to determine the pot and what Keating owes. turns around to talk to a friend by the glass doors and then returns and puts the two stacks back down on the table

Maybe this post is a tad naïve of me, but it's not even the gambling and much as it's the stakes.

He bought in for $400K (adding up his rebuys). That would be a lifetime bankroll for most of us. We could play $5/$10 or even $10/$25 pretty comfortably with that.

The problem he's built himself is that he now has this image of a high roller that he has to maintain, so he can't just be seen playing $5/$10 with a $5K buy-in.

Maybe the reason I'm naïve is because this is the inevitable result of people like him; he "has to" play the highest stakes because his ego and his "reputation/image" are in the way.

They let Mikki describe his strategy a couple times directly to a camera away from the table last night. His strat was to "super bloat pots" all night according to him.

Very true, the life style of a high roller would be very addicting, and the voluntary way down the stakes almost impossible. Two options: you properly learn the game (= pretty boring) and get good, or you hit a wall (= broke / debt...). Hitting a wall is not very nice and can easily destroy a life for 10-15 years.

Half a million dollars is an insane amount of money in the 'normal' world. Near impossible to go back to this 'normal' world, working 40 hours a week or whatever.

In conclusion: he seems like a good person, but has all the tell-tale signs of a the trajectory where unfortunately the only way is down.

But who knows, the guy seems to have a lot of life experience, so probably has a stronger constitution than most.

Mikki doesn't seem like a good person - he seems like a hobo meth head scam artist

Did anyone catch when mikki tried to pocket 2-4k before the last all in hand and Wesley calls him on it but nothing happens?

Meh, he certainly looks the way you phrase it, but "books and covers". Objectively speaking his behaviour was pretty decent, shaking hands with people, and basically never being a pr*ck despite losing a ton.

I'd say he's ok.

I thought it was clear that was his 'gas money'.
