Well they also don’t promote officials that try and unnecessarily inject themselves into the game.

Fans want real talk, the AMA was great. Sometimes it was necessary for Limon to give some peeps the back of his hand.

If you don’t care, don’t post right? How is Limon a bumpkin that grew up in a trailer and is also spoiled? Delusional goes with the poker world. Loser is a subjective term but since we are on a poker site, he is a verified life long winner. Waste of time maybe for you posting in a thread about an ama from a poster you don’t care about, yeah sure — but you don’t speak for the rest of us.

Always funny when Druff brings up the alcoholic stuff on a forum where we called weed, bananas, for years, and have always heavily promoted the use of psychedelics. Oh no not alcohol, anything but that! As people are chewing buttons or eating shrooms like crazy. You convinced us Druff, no one likes Limon anymore because he abuses alcohol, even the user named ScotchOnDaRocks.

Good posts Scotch.

Definitely interesting to me how so many people either hand-wave away, or just refuse to acknowledge limon's poor behavior. Not that it necessarily has anything to do with limon specifically, but it is pretty fascinating to me how so many people have a tendency to do this with people who are otherwise successful

Seems to me like it's more of a boomer/Gen X thing, since mental/emotional health wasn't really something people had much awareness of back in the day

imo it takes a certain level of intellectual dishonesty to not only make absolutely no distinction between recreational use and abuse of a substance, but to also downplay the effects of alcohol addiction and abuse by likening it to use of cannabis or psychedelics

I don't think anyone necessarily cares that limon has a problem with alcohol - the problem is that his alcohol abuse gives him even less control over his emotions than he would otherwise have, and he has no qualms with making that anyone else's problem
02-02-2024 , 11:53 AM
The amount of money or "stuff" that he supposedly has doesn't make him a winner as a person. The Limon portrayed in his ama is a pathetic loser.
02-09-2024 , 03:11 PM
I can't seem to see Limon's twitter anymore. is it just me?
02-09-2024 , 04:23 PM
At least there’s a Dirtstarr ama

This is a really good, well thought-out post. Absolutely pot on imo. Never understood the love for someone that is generally not that good of a human being. He is a narcissist that constantly lashes out at people for simply disagreeing with him or pointing out when he is incorrect on something. You are a dumb, insignificant idiot that has no idea what you are talking about if you don't see things 100% his way. And yes, by all accounts he is an alcoholic who becomes even more insufferable when he drinks, not someone that dabbles with something here and there for recreational purposes to have some fun. Being a successful gambler doesn't change those facts. Regardless, I have no issue with his thread or him not being banned, as long as he has to follow the same rules everyone else has to follow.

At the end of the day anybody could avoid that thread if they didn't like it there are so many other forums and posts on here people can engage with . To censor Limon who brings legitimate value to this site and this forum....it strikes against the value of this stupid ****ing game we all love that i didn't just lose $200 at on ACR to Thank you very much.

The game was created by gamblers hustlers and thieves and damn if Limon wasn't borderline all three. #oneofthegoats

Yeah, back in the day they weren't pumping everyone who had health insurance with psych drugs. We'll see how that works out.

The problem isn't Limons emotional outbursts, it's yalls inability to read them without wetting your pants.

I can't stand Limons politics. Much rather smoke a blunt hanging out alone than sit with anyone getting the least bit drunk.

But this dude is a legend and hearing what an old school gambler thinks is interesting to a lot of people.

Ok, reader. Spin around 3 times and forget what site you are on.

Did you just read this under-achiever's generic boomerpost on twoplustwo or breitbart?
02-11-2024 , 08:13 PM
Limon got banned on reddit too after spamming there 24/7 since his ban here https://www.reddit.com/user/LimonPoker. Poor guy has no outlet. Whole world must be full of snowflakes because they don't want an alcoholic degenerate spamming deranged nonsense online all day. Maybe one of his boomer lovers on here can reach out to him for a welfare check.

Simps for Limon!!

Who said anything about psych drugs lol, you don't need psych drugs to learn how to control your emotions. This is such a lame cop out from people who had parents too shitty to teach them emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills growing up

My parents were too shitty to teach me those skills, so I went to therapy to learn them, and now I'm significantly less miserable and generally don't make my emotions someone else's problem

Two many sanctimonius snowflakes nowadays.
What with PC and everyone supposed to love everyone else, wheres the sense of humour gone to.

Limon gave as good as he got, wheres the harm, at least he was entertaining.

Yes, it’s snowflakes like Trampled, it’s like they wander into someone’s backyard BBQ uninvited, then complain when the food isn’t to their liking. JFC if you don’t like someone’s AMA thread, stay the f**k out!

Think it’s a bit closer to your neighbor having a loud party at 2 am, since limon would regularly **** up other threads with his poor behavior. If he kept that all contained within that AMA thread, then I imagine far fewer people would care much about how he chooses to conduct himself

People going into limon’s thread just to fight with him was stupid and kind of sad, but so was a lot of his own behavior. It’s possible for both of those things to be true lol
02-13-2024 , 09:13 PM
If I had to name 3 most overrated poker players of all time, Lemon would be up there even though he’s not even really famous. But why that guy even has any kind of a following is beyond me.

lol, I’m not much offended by limon’s behavior bud, but I am critical of it. I genuinely feel bad for him, and to a lesser extent, anyone who would actually go out of their way to white knight for him. Untreated mental illness and substance abuse is a horrible way to live, and supporting that kind of behavior isn’t much better imo

Why is it always sowflakes when people point out shitty behaviour by some old dude.

If people coming in the thread would have behaved like Limon you would probably complain about the youth not showing respect anymore.

Limon got tons of leeway. In the old 2+2 days his account would have been closed on the first day and would have been IP banned.

Is it really too much to expect of a grown man to control his potty mouth even to a slight degree.

Its more like walking into a public celebration and seeing a person drunk of his rocker pissing his pants and yelling at random people.

Maybe he’s just a zany guy with a personality and these would be his posts regardless if he was sober or not

At any rate, I don’t do drugs, only social drink, and have no mental illness that I am aware of.

But as I hobby I enjoy giving the back of my hand to soft bellies, nutzos, overzealous moderators, and other undesirables on this forum. He was sort of same way it seemed.

I didn't mean you, I meant limon. If he behaves that way without alcohol, then he's not a "zany guy with a personality" lol, he's a bitter, miserable guy with a personality disorder. But hey, many people with untreated mental illness are entertaining, so I'll give you that. I personally enjoyed it both when he would share his interesting anecdotes, and when he would completely lose his mind over criticism or trolling. People behaving foolishly is often amusing, but I'm still gonna criticize the guy for acting the way he does at the same time

And if getting into frequent petty internet slapfights is your hobby, then I would be surprised if you're much less miserable than limon appears to be

idk i find it weird / contradictory to be a pro gambler / poker player for 20 years and have such an incredible disdain for both poker and poker players (and people he gambles against to a lesser degree) while simultaneously going to a poker forum to post hundreds of times about it (while continuing to play poker!). is much easier to just move on imo esp if you got millions and are playing in a 2k buyin game. also idk what age it becomes cringe to fight with people and troll online, but 50+ has to be there man.

alot of the gambling advice is good but its very akin to a drug dealer talking about how stupid the people buying drugs from him are

Did you even read this thread or the well? This is about a funny, tongue-in-cheek well/ama from a long time poker pro and poster on this poker forum, who was doing Kaufman bits. Those of us here that liked thread just wanted to hear funny stories and reminisce, not talk about stupid political/crime/healthy lifestyle stuff.

Posters on this site have always promoted drug and alcohol abuse while struggling with mental health. If you don’t like that, remember that you are on a poker forum, this isn’t some AA forum, or choice center, or some Chicken soup for the soul forum. You are free to go post at those sites, thanks for feeling bad for us though!

Not to be intellectually dishonest but this is a forum about a vice and if you log on you will hear about gambling and other vices. No one cares that you feel bad for him, no one here cares that RedBuck thinks Limon isn’t a “winner” in life, when we are talking about poker not life and while there is a new scam thread posted every day. Limon doesn’t need to be drunk to make offensive posts, they are part of the bit, I know most of this thread doesn’t understand the bit but that doesn’t mean mods should’ve closed the well.

Oh I extended to myself as an illustration, some just enjoy the banter. And I’m actually quite charming. I only go after undesirables, thus giving them a beat down is beneficial to all. And it’s never really a fight, in same manner that fire does not fight with kindling.
