At what point did you start thinking you were a legend?

re starting a game. how would you start from scratch now in a heavily heavily saturated market (private games not geographic location)?

What do you mean about looking to take the bets and not make them?

Also, thank god I am aspergers. I mean, not really, but when I tell people I am autistic as a joke it's just convincing, sad, and makes a lot of sense. I am one sick puppy who likes poker way too much though.

Limon would you agree with this statement:

No one likes poker way too much for very long.

?

I appreciate the fact that he stated he's a "gambling legend" and instead of not taking him seriously people started asking all kind of questions.

Because people who have been around here a long time know that his statement is basically true.
Some people have been hoping for a definitive limon AMA for like 10 years.

1.)

I remember reading your well back in the day, I was expecting the typical "this is how i study, this is how i do bankroll management, this is how I rose up through the ranks"

instead it was mostly a bunch of "hey you jabronis are doing it all wrong and now I'm going to tell you about gypsies"

it was really quite different from a typical well found in these parts and here again we lead in with "i'm a literal legend"

while it seems like most people have their cliques and crews - very close relationships with people they studied and swapped action with - you appear to be more of someone going on a solo journey. Is that an accurate assessment? If not then which players do you work/coordinate/socialize with the most?

2.)

Can you dive deeper into what you talked about via getting paid to be on stream or running the game?

3.)

By game runner, are you talking about private games in the physical world, on the apps, or both?

4.)

Do you do AP play & bonus whoring?

5.)

If you were one of the most winning online players then why not continue? That doesn't make much sense to me.

6.)

How do you stay so humble?

7.)

Will you ever settle down and raise kids to run games for you?

Did you make more money from poker or golf bets?

Do you still talk to your co host Nichoel Jurgens from when you hosted LATB?

Will you ever bring Pokersesh back?

In a video made by Bart Hanson a couple years ago, he talks about the term "combo bet" and its origins. His claim was you came up with the term OMC (stands for old man coffee) but it was him that came up with combo bet. Can you confirm/deny the genesis of Combo Bet?

He means, I assume, be the house. Be the bookie, take the bets. Don’t be the degen making the bets, paying juice taking the worst of it. Again, host the games, take the rake, don’t pay it

hi Limon

always been a big fan

have you ever found gambling to be stressful for you, had a stressful period of time? And how do you deal with the stress, as you make a hard way to earn an easy living look easy rather than hard.

Also has there been a time you have made some losses that would take you 6 months or longer to recover the losses, how do you get your head around that.

thanks for another great thread.

Have your feeling changed at all over the years regarding seeing your neighbor’s cards?

Do you still coach? If so, what are the most notable differences in students now vs. 10 years ago?

Other than surviving in the world of gambling are there any other factors for why you believe you are a gambing legend?

I hope Limon continues responding today after he wakes up. For those that don’t know of him, he is truly a legend in L.A. poker history.

My favorite hand of his was kind of silly really, but funny as hell. He tried to raise twice in one hand a LATB Asian female reg. Each time his raise was deemed a call due to the language he used.

If anyone can find that hand on YouTube and post it here you will go directly to heaven. The hand was from a long time ago, but is hilarious with his reaction..

having a drunk player shouting non-stop into the ear of the dealer or player is a major turnoff for me, no matter how much they are donking off. take a drink everytime he says 'literally'.
