ben, why not ask alix BEFORE nl coaching began? you keep saying you "thought there would be no problem" but how much effort would it have taken to give him a quick call? seems like you didn't even think the effort was worth it, since there was no risk to you personally if things fell through

Why can't you guys settle this on the virtual felt, with a twitch stream with rules in place posted on 2+2 so neither side can back out. This would be epic!!!

One of you guys have to challenge the other to make this happen, why not start right here right now in this thread?

Come on Doug call him out!!! Ben?

You guys are little girls if you don't make this happen!!!!

while polk is probably right about the coaching thing all this other personal **** about ben comes off as kinda salty.

Ben are you willing to re visit the Berri Sweet crossbook, perhaps with a new arbitrator since pretty much everyone believes he should have been paid in full?

This really is an undeniable interpretation.

You got someone to give you MULTIPLE coaching sessions for free that he would likely not have given you for even $X/hour (but did because he thought he was trading it for your equally invaluable coaching). How is that not the definition of scummy?

Nobody makes that type of statement without wanting to reveal his/her knowledge. Unless it's blackmailing.

I'm excited to hear more about either

So much golden content.

If jungle comes forward with whatever he's claiming to know, it will likely make this one of the GOAT's

Ben,

You really couldn't sit down and talk PLO with Doug for a few hours and teach him something substantive, without in the process giving up forbidden dream-machine-derived info? Just seems odd to me. I have to assume Doug knew about the software and that was what he was primarily interested in picking your brain about, but in that case it seems super-weird you would not have checked with Alix whether it was ok to proceed, and in the meantime received multiple hours of coaching yourself. Something just doesn't add up.

I get the feeling part of the " Coaching " deal was that Ben gives the dream machine to Doug. And his partner said no. Otherwise, why wouldnt Ben just keep the partner in the dark about the coaching?

To clear up a few points that are being brought up.

- I did know about the existence of software.

- I did not know there was an NDA on software that would have prevented Ben from coaching me.

- The wanting to talk with me in Vegas part of the story is made up. I did confront him about the 500/1k at the Bellagio, and he tried to just avoid talking to me.

So was this software brought up as a part of the coaching deal?

why u make drama out of everything? why u cry 30 mins to your fans on youtube like a little bitch? be a man and deal with him privately. honestly i dont give a **** about this and i think most people should not. its like shakira and pique got divorced, who the **** cares. you are the most tilting guy i can think of in highstakes community and i just wish u werent that good so your opinions wouldnt matter and u wouldnt get attention, cos listening to you talk is like listening 18 yo kid. STFU

He's given hints about why him and doug are no longer friends on various podcasts.
Him pointing out the irony of Doug creating this thread of all people is pretty telling as to what it is about.

But yeah. Going from grinding fullring + trying to sell "pickup artist lessons" to crushing high stakes probably has something to do with his Jungleman connection.

This situation is murky, and I do believe that Doug has a right to feel slighted about the way the lesson situation went down. I specifically remember Ben being disappointed about receiving the news from his partner that he wouldn't allow their coaching partnership to exist. He never meant to get a few freebies from Doug and back out.

As for the night we were all drinking and went back to Doug's:
- I don't recall every word that went down, I had a few drinks and their argument was quite redundant.

- I do remember Doug talking about how he was the best player in the world and Ben did say "Give me Ike at 15bb!". You're talking two of the best players in the world being drunk and swinging their dicks around.

- I think Doug has a good heart and I consider him a friend of mine, but as we all know (including himself), he can be very outspoken about how confident he is in himself and how a lot of other respected players aren't that good. (a lot of the time he's right)

- Ben can be aggressive when he feels attacked or if he feels like someone is violating a code of respect.

- I think that Doug admired Ben and in his own way was just trying to get Ben to respect him more by talking about his poker prowess; He just didn't know that this was a huge peeve of Ben's. Combine that with being drunk and some words were gonna be said. I think if they would have dropped the egos, they both could have talked it out pretty quickly.

In my opinion, this situation should have been settled face to face. Ben isn't a vulture and he's not a scumbag. The public didn't need to be notified about this. The guy has taken over 8 figures from poker in a completely honest way, he's not looking to one-up people on coaching arrangements.

Life's too short for this ****. You guys are both absolute legends when it comes to a game. Drop the pride, check the ego and work this out like men.
Exactly all of this!
