Bonomo is a clown
Hell the other day I heard some strippers
who were complaining that biz is so slow that they
were gonna learn how to play poker and edit videos.



I guess they were "punching up" so its alll good

I'm not sure what to think of OP. It is one of few interesting OPs in NVG of late so don't want to flame it just yet.

I've scanned OP once and was obv confused so read it fully later .

So, Hoooooooon, would you please in no more than three SHORT sentences summarize the point you are trying to make?

OP I think these ppl's videos resonate well with the average poker player for whatever reason.

You got different taste than the player pool. Thats it.

I'm not a fan of them either. Don't consider them funny, entertaining, or material with lots of good thoughts. Waste of time for me. Do they have funny moments? sure. Do they have some good thoughts? sure. But internet is full with other people's video that are better bang for the buck for a laugh or for studying or just chilling out FOR ME.

Listening to Polk’s sing song delivery makes me want to slit my throat. Marle is doable.

OP is upset with a modern trend of vlogging displeasure against poker players over their vlogs where they express displeasure with poker. Confirmed beyond words, driven to drugs.

Do we need bonobo here to berate you?

Hooooooooon.

Would you concur that this accurately summarizes your observation?

p.s. Doug is great. Although he was better in the past when he was more focused on it.

I've watched Marle's stuff. A+ and entertaining on multiple levels. Just once in a while Bonomo needs to bite his tongue on these SJW issues. it gets monotonous.

Bonobo is a legit ally.

Just wondering what is taking so long to give back his poker winnings into a reparations fund. He has to know his privelege is the only reason he was given the job of poker pro.

how dare the cheating scumbag POS Bonomo say anything about anyone ever, he's a cheating thieving lying scumbag that shouldn't even be allowed to comment about anything, the thief.

the POS scumbag theif, at least Marley pretends to go "working" for a steak, and didn't just steal from other poker players like that scumbag did

I don't think this way, and I was around during the time when the 'ZeeJustin' scandal hit. I used to be part of a small group of SNG low stakes fanboy scrub-grinders who read Justin's blogs in 2005/2006.

Justin made some serious mistakes at a time when he was very young and adapting to success that so many poker players (regardless of age) weren't exactly ready for following the Moneymaker & WPT hype and subsequent poker boom.

It's true he was highly inconsiderate of how his multi-accounting actions would impact the community at the time, but:

(a) he was penalized monetarily for it,
(b) the PartyPoker bug that enabled Justin's MA activities on that site should have been identified and fixed way before it became a high profile issue,
(c) it's been over a decade since that happened,
(d) Justin had sufficient social acceptance within the poker world along with skill-based acceptance from his peers to become a sponsored pro for Bodog before BF,
(e) he has remained active within the community instead of shunning it, even when a critical mass disagreed with something he did,
(f) he once got a pseudo-morality rejection from Lee Jones when Justin was trying to get reinstated on Stars post-scandal,
(g) although negative/antagonistic social pressure can be a useful tool when it comes to deterrent-based rhetoric, there also should come a point when the aggregate social negativity hurled toward someone is weighed against purported mistakes.

With all that said, everyone of course is entitled to their opinion. But if you're wondering whether the 'ZeeJustin' saga ever received its share of attention, it did... over ten years ago.

---

As far as the disagreements between Marle Cordeiro and Kelly Minkin are concerned (or Marle Cordeiro's YouTube content), I'm interested in hearing what other women in poker have to say about it. I'm a fan of their talent and hope they can successfully maneuver the environment they currently find themselves in.

The general negativity among poker personalities that the OP is referring to is, at least in part, due to industry pressures created by regulatory bodies and poker operators. It's unfortunate how the irresponsibility/incompetence of some governments and high-level industry shot callers have ransacked so much goodwill in the poker world, but that happens just about every time corporate 'suits' grab the reins of any business sector, or when any one individual/company gains a monopolistic position.

That's not to say there aren't scenarios when industry-facing interests have no involvement in a dispute, and I think Marle Conderiro's content and her disagreements with Kelly Minkin are in that category. So I hope more women in poker will provide feedback and advise on how these issues should be debated/resolved.

Either way, much of the outreach provided by poker personalities is free of charge, can be viewed at one's convenience, and there are many options to choose from -- for those with discerning tastes. OP should just stick to Marle's videos if no one else is up to snuff.

Way too many words to justify Justin to a troll.

I was around back then too and I immediately thought he was a good guy when I realized he opened up other tables to negate his advantage . Seriously though, I'm glad he was let back on Stars since it's obviously a passion of his.

Funny how everyone who is well known and scammed got reinstated on stars, but thousands of unknowns will never be and for much less serious offences like sending a rude letter to stars after losing lots of money. I have a few freinds that threathened to come to Isle if Man and blow stars headquarters up, Stars banned these fine young man accounts, even after 10 years they still won't let it go and let these reformed man play. Thousands have suffered due to stars not understanding how tilt works and just ignoring it alltogether, this could have been prevented just by adding support email like tilt@pokerstars.com for all these people to express their displeasure in a directed and coordinated way, would have saved millions of accounts and more fish would be playing poker Today, these people never had a chance, dumbass Lee Jones.

I know, you are coder and you are working on AI nonsense generator. What is cannabalisitic Ballistic cannibal? Or ballistic cannabis? What is "sociopolitical micro stakes player"? "mid or high stakes sociopolitical superstars"? Autism? Sociopathy? Zodiac letters? Too many questions and I even don't want to know your kitchen recipes and content of freezer.

OP:Doug Polk is not funny. No, that was not a joke, indirect or abstract in any way. Nor will it be qualified here. It serves as a preface for the following question: What makes a poker personality popular?
How much they give back is important and left off your rant. For instance, Polker Hands has been free and hits all the targets.

This thread should be merged with the Doug Polk YT thread imo.

The OP devoting a rant to not understanding likability is not thread worthy. The OP likely just falls on the autism scale, as it was a really cringeworthy post that I’m not sure why one would post about himself.

Marle just started her vlog 2 months ago and her least viewed video has 34k views. The last time Trooper had that many views was 5 months ago for Day 1 of the WSOP. The previous time he had that many views was in a video called "Where's Molly?" which was published close to the beginning of the 2017 WSOP.

I'm not sure what Marle is expecting really. Unless I'm missing something she's just a low stakes cash grinder. Does that mean she's entitled to be a huge star now or something?

Doug does a helluva lot for poker and he's funny and just a super super nice guy.

but other than that here is a question for you: why do you think it's necessary for anyone to promote poker? The vast majority of people lose at poker and it can be a very expensive habit, so why in the world would anyone legit promote it for free?

also, equating multi-tabling to cheating is a stretch and people who are still mad about it are whiny losers

no, stakes she plays has nothing to do with her being entitled to being a huge star.

If she puts out content that alot of people want to watch then because of that metric alone she is entitled to be as big a star as the number of views she gets.

She is pretty high stakes compared to most other Vlogers, 2/5 and 5/10 is her regular game, so not low stakes even by definition.
