BUT he agreed to pay these two players out the $60K out of his own pocket even though he does not own the club and has no obligation to do so... he said $60K is a tiny sum and after talking to other people he respects in the poker community he is going to pay out the $60K personally.
I wonder what % of people on his IG believe this... LOL.
This is the lie to save face obviously.
Some of the claims about members i find hard to believe.
A quick run down of how unions work -
A club (Not a union) can have a maximum of 1200 members.
Once you union you join each club to a head club.
Lets say Doritos is the Union head.
You might have 10 other clubs all owned by other people who can all hold a maximum of 1200 players.
Your other option, if you're a super mega club is the union on yourself.
E.g - Doritos #1 has 1200 people so you make a club called Doritos 2 and fill that up and they union with each other. You can repeat this until a maximum of 15 clubs.
I'm not in his club but at 750 members it's not uncommon for us to run 5 or 6 tables at once. Another regional union near me has 4-5k members and runs 15-20 tables at once most of the day.
To make his claim of 10,000 players means he would be obviously splitting players between 9 clubs, all of which would be visible to players. Pretty unlikely.
Even if we assume a very bad retention rate and 3k of the 10k members he's seen join stick around and 300 are active, you would be hosting 15 6max tables during most hours of the day.
His story doesn't at all align with my experiences of PPPoker. His claims of them still cheat checking with PPP doesn't align with anything.
And the claim that PPPoker was trying to work out if the players could superuse is probably the most ******ed thing i've heard out of a well known person in awhile.
He likely has a 600-700 person club with quite a few whales on tick.
Those who have followed him for awhile will remember that HE started a pppoker club. He ran ****ty tournaments for a week max and then suddenly he was telling his story that the club got so big he had to hire staff. The week following he had piles of staff and they were using a new site and the week following he had "Given his club" to another company to run and completely sold out.
