I am in to do it.

I know he likes to pretend to play "I am a streemer I like VIP games"

Just let me know,

It's always fun to consider that today's GTO approved lines would have only been played by absolute whales not too long ago.

Where would Jnandez rank relative to that top 10?

I wasn't lying to put him top 50.

Someone should also come after his coaching project.

Any idea why Venividi wants to come back playing poker after 10x-ing his bankroll in crypto and saying "ohhh I fear to miss out on my life, you should play less poker"? Wild guess "it's for the love of Twitch chat" and he loves to get his private chef tacos on a stream.

Is being top 50 in a format meant to be an insult?

He doesn't make a living from playing poker, or ever was good at playing poker. He runs a successful poker training site. Successful because people pay for a subscription there.

What do you mean by someone should come after his coaching project?

I mean the quality of product and market opportunity.

He is the guy that enjoyed coaching, and was on other site as a hired coach and then successfully given market opportunity created his own coaching site with a good marketing? Congratz to him

Just saying if there was smart people that actually wanted to run high quality poker site, they could probably compete. Though hiring smart coaches wouldn't be easy.

According to very reliable sources he is very far from top 50. Think the way he conducts business and market himself is incredibly dishonest. Somehow seem to have a very big following.

JNandez is a coin poker shill these days. Lost most of his credibility for me.

Galfond is a gangster though. He made lots of money playing poker. Then came back and challenged poker world to hu PLO, shopped for weakest opponents, beat them all, then went ahead and played private HU match 2 times vs top notch HU player and was v competitive in it.

If I was a coach and both Jnandez and Galfond offered me a same value deal, I would rather go work for runitonce.com

But maybe Jnandez is an incredible guy and it's extreme pleasure to work for him, and that's why people stay loyal to him.

Or maybe these sites make you sign some kind of "non compete" contract.

I loved how during his GG sponsorship days he would regurgitate the rake on GG is not that bad if you play it smart and join PLO mastermind but the first thing he did after quitting GG was make a detailed video how bad the rake actually is lolo

It warms my heart we are all scumbags ❤️

Hard to renegotiate for a better rake after GG has confirmation/sample that PLO people will play regardless.

I have a feeling they couldn't have pulled off the same thing for NL.

Idk if he wants 2p2 to know that, but he loves when people admire how rich he is.

There's 2 guys that ever in my life had said to me "you should find a life outside of poker, I am retired, go play less and find a life"

That's Venividi and EEE27.

So I am just reminding it to them.
