I've watched a lot of HCL and he always handled losing with class as far as I've seen. Link some clips where he doesn't.

And if you're talking about the Robbi incident, I really don't care what some fake news investigation said. She definitely cheated.

Nah even before then there were a few times he was losing and started acting like an entitled baby.

I dont care about the investigation either. It's extremely unlikely she cheated and while I understand his initial reaction at the table he's been a total jackass since then. He writes some huge report filled with at least 95 percent verifiable bullshit ,says he's working some rediculous number like 18 hours a day on "the case" and absolutely crickets months later.

The enigma of BERRI is intriguing so he would probably be my choice.

Kinda hard to say much when the "third party investigation", which was likely bribed, resulted against him. What would you do in his position? So many white knights, feminists and simps are siding with Robbi on this one. This injustice is honestly a reflection of how women are treated vs how men are treated.

Garret is far from the worst but have to agree that he comes across as not totally authentic all the time. On podcasts and old LATB streams he seems more genuine and relatable, gets angry when he runs bad and complains as much as anyone else but last couple years been a bit entitled. And I think even those who believe he was cheated by Robbi would still concede he handled the entire thing horribly. His response statement and tweets were pretty obnoxious.

As for the drink, maybe Chip Reese. For a night out on the town, Gus Hansen.

Feel like Galfond would be a decent balance of social skills, old school stories, and useful poker advice.

Huck Seed and Gus Hansen seem like interesting candidates from a chaos standpoint. Could be really interesting or really awkward.

The fanboy in me says Phil Ivey.

For me and it’s not even close, alive player would be jungleman. Deceased player would be Gavin smith.


I’m talking a small group of people where you get one on one time.
Phil Ivey for alive. Stu Ungar for dead.

Phil Laak for sure.

I once played on a table with him for a day. He is constant entertainment and a really likeable guy.
