I can't say enough good things about LionShare Poker. So far my experience has been amazing. The discord community in it is friendly and very positive. My wife tried a freeroll this week and won the trny. For that she won the NFT Token! They also give out eth as prizes and usually a 1:1 hour coaching session with one of the top pros. Tuesdays and Thursdays Kurt23x does a live seminar, so it's free coaching. I strongly recommend trying it out!

anyone aware of ways to short PFP collections pls? thanks

You know not about the things you speak. You are letting your anger toward NFTs and me spill over into other things. Relax, Francis.

Lol. I;ve had the same thought many times. It would be easy money . Here is a partial list (PARTIAL) of the mints just on Solana just for tomorrow. Vast majority of these will be worthless.

You could short the whole list and show profit. You could remove 5-10 possible winners and make even more money shorting the rest.




edit. sorry cant post good pic.
wen new owners gonna make forum software better


cool. Ive been focused only on Solana projects so first time seeing this one. Just checked it out. does have a good vibe.
great example of how web3 is going change how creators/artists/content providers connect with and grow their followers. As importantly how they will monetize it vs twitch or youtube keeping most of the $$$

Well, if these two things are true:

Then that's not a good look, to say the least. And that's being generous.

smh

Nice response.

Let me make this simple - I have no idea if either of those things are true, and I'd appreciate it if you would clarify. Thanks!

Guilty; I knowingly spammed Doug's Cardhouse thread. Really didn't think much about it at the time.

I won't be brining up that site/project anymore anywhere on 2+2. I have no problem with any or all of the prev posts being deleted.


fwiw calling it scummy, implying I am scum was way over the line and thus my flippant response to the other poster. the first time I ever brought up the site/project, I made it clear what was going on and didnt try to hide anything.

and the smh comment was me not understanding what the heck was going on

It really has nothing to do with my opinion on NFT's. The difference between you and the person promoting Pokemon Poker cards, is that straight off the bat they made it clear they had a financial interest. It's called transparency.

Look up the CSGO Lotto scandal, and why the gaming community consider Syndicate scum for 'stumbling upon' a gambling site that he owned.

whatever,. conflating me with with whatever scandal happening in you computer game is brain dead stupid. So piss off.. Ive been contributing to this forum with varying degrees of value for over 10 years.


As far as I can rem. You are now the first person I have ever blocked on 2+2 . Grats.

p.s not that it matters,feel free to do so more research and you can see my first post I made on the topic I clearly disclosed my involvement. I accept your apology for calling me a scum or scummy or whatever.

PTLou - "If you want to further diversify your poker empire into the crypto/NFT/Poker space, ran across this play recently.

Looks to be something like Old PokerStars meets Zynga Poker meets Americas Card Room meets NFT meets Defi/DAO craze meta all within Solana Ecosystem.

Kids these days? What will they think of next?"

You're not going to see this as you blocked me. If someone is paying you to market their product. It looks really stupid if you pretend you have stumbled across it in one thread, and then declare ownership in another.

Thanks for the response, Lou.

Noob, I think it's only fair to provide the entire quote (but without the Tweet in the original):

So maybe Lou was thinking this "Now for some not so candid and not transparent" would make it more obvious. I don't think this is some massively egregious offense that Lou has committed - this isn't like when we get some new poster in shilling for a poker site they "just heard about", as Lou's been contributing here for years, and has mentioned in other posts that he was involved with the site. But Lou, when you post something in a different thread (a thread that has nothing to do with NFTs, so I'm not sure why you even posted it there) and say "ran across this play recently", it's a really bad look.

I think it makes sense to delete that post as it's pretty off-topic, so I've done so. As for posting about the site again, new ownership is a little more lenient when it comes to (on topic) self-promotion, and I believe the NVG mods are acting accordingly, so I don't think it needs to be an issue if done so in this or another relevant thread, as long as you're careful how you portray your own role. Not that you need to mention it (your role) every time when it's come up in the thread before. I don't set the standards in NVG, so use your best judgement as to what you can post that fits within evolving NVG norms; I'm just speaking in very general site-wide terms.

Hopefully that makes sense, and we can all leave it at that unless there's anything important I've gotten wrong or missed.

Totally good Bobo . thanks for comment. sry for the brew ha ha.

I couldn't even find the old post. but now that I see it again.

1) I was obv effing around but yea if one had not read other thread (and yes no reason for me to think they would) , one wouldn't get the sarcasm
2) again now that I see full quote , noob still totally blocked for calling me a scum, comparing me to an actual thief, while at the same time snipping important part of my quote to maximize his witch hunt.

other than that all good

Yea that's fair, I guess I was trying to highlight the part that was relevant, but probably loses context without whole post.

On topic, I watched an interesting video on poker in Decentraland. At the time it was published, the cost of NFT to enter the poker games was around $5k, but I'd imagine that's lowered slightly with recent crash. It's also one of the cases where I can understand renting the item out, as there is a market for people looking to pay a one off rate for a day, rather than the whole cost to join games.

It would be cool if anyone can report what sort of stakes are being played there, and what the games are like. There doesn't seem to be many videos of games being played, but the vid I watched said there are 6k players.

bad look imo to not be fully transparent when you're pushing something - i really don't understand why people hide this

i mean is anyone going to look at it significantly differently if you just disclosed your association with them from the start?

bad look is fine and I'll own. calling me a scum and comparing me to an actual thief who I guess stole peoples money... thats just effed up and just way over the line.


I already spoke my mind on where my head was when I posted that. In no way did I think was pulling the wool over anyone's eyes, I mean I made an actual joke about it same sentence., and like you said even I did , to what possible gain. I appreciate your comment and agree with it.

at this stage Im sure pretty sure this horse has been beaten beyond death and I really have nothing else to say, except maybe see if anyone wants to buy some slightly used elec poker tables that players dont want play on.

buy 1 get 12 free.

Back to NFT's in Poker...

It's kinda Crazy how popular Poker is within the NFT community. I am invested into multiple Poker NFT projects, and obviously there is a lot of Poker talk within those (especially given that two of them are coaching based NFTs), but you only have to enter into a few random NFT discords to find that most are hosting regular Poker nights on Pokerbros. It honestly feels like the glory, Pre-BF days of online Poker. Sure, the tourneys are majority freerolls with NFT related (or crypto) prizes, but the interest is there from the community.

Not saying that we'll be saying goodbye to Stars, or that they'll be moving to blockchain based cardrooms, but I definitely see these Crypto-based cardrooms having a piece of the pie in the next few years.

Hey , sorry missed this but the above is a perfect reporting of what is happening.

Sort of two poker markets evolving in there.

1) NFT Poker (and some full casino project communities using PokerBros type apps and/or ACR/Others sites "set up a home game". Many (most?) of these with entry fees. I've only seen Tournaments promoted but not cash games. You seem to have more experience with poker NTSs than I do . I have a good bag of NFTs, none of them are poker related. Have you seen anyone try to grow cash games ?

2) Non-Poker NFT Project communities using the PokerNow discord bot (settle down non- discord. Bot here is good bot not bad bot) to run their "poker nights" right inside their channels.

One comment here and its important. A "blockchain based cardroom" is sort of of misnomer, trying to run a poker site ON the blockchain would be impossible. There are just too many transactions to deal with to make it workable. Using the blockchain / smart contracts / crypto to administer the cashier and the financial operations of the site, for sure that should all be on chain.


*******************

Separate topic but to help understand what NFTs have morphed into from the public of perception of "its just a jpeg". Here is another, they've become stock certificates that prove ownership in companies, which are called "Projects" in NFT land. Stay tuned for this one. The person who posted this had a type and said Greystone, meant Grayscale.

MonkeDAO is SolanaMonkeyBusiness's Decentralized Autonomous Organization. SMB is the Cryptopunks of Solana.. Portals is a very large MetaVerse project on Solana with a current market cap of $42,000,000 (depending on the current price of SOL.

I have no idea who is source. This was posted in several discord channels.




Here is the another tidbit about the NFT world. IRL the all the above would be called Insider Trading and is bad and people can go to jail. In NFT world all the above is called "Alpha" and is good and nobody goes to jail.

At some point the crazy that is the NFT space will have to reconcile the realities of the real world. But it ain't happening in the next month and as everyone says "A month in NFT world like years in the real world"

great video pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, it’s too long for the attention span of those who need to watch it most, but I’m glad you managed to watch it in 45 minutes of me posting.

If I stole a million and gave 100k of it to charity, would that be virtuous?
If that charity turned out to be the few who made some money out of my crime but used their gain to advocate the legitimacy of my crime, would that make them virtuous?
That, in essence, is NFT.

The likes of Timex are only out for themselves. They may be ****ing you slower, but they’re still ****ing you, and you’ve convinced yourselves that it’s romantic.
Wake up.

Really good informative video

lol, busted, it was pretty clear it was a good piece from the start but i waited a good 15 min in before posting a good review

go through half until needed to focus more on work and going to finish it up tonight

Hooked! Couldn't finish it right now but didn't want to stop it was so good. Saving this. Thanks for posting!
