I think limon has had some spot on analyses, but then the bias sets in.

Will be difficult to match this thread. That's a contribution to society too.

I have discovered there's limited power in fighting back, always new ways you get blows, the other part trying to win, not necessarily rightfully, but anyway. Dodging is often more effective, everybody happy.

I meant more that limon is trying to fight back, and then gets more blows. But it's a spiral.

May peace inherit the world.

limon,

An aspi invents self-landing rockets, reinvents electric cars, and founds a company on the cutting edge of curing ALS. What is the real brass tax argument for Elon being an idiot? I haven't seen one that also factors cool stuff he's done.

Limon hasn't contributed anything to society, but major criminals defrauding people out of billions like Elon have caused great harm to society. Anything Elon has contributed would be equivalent to robbing a bank and then giving a homeless guy $20 of someone else's money.

The government is unnecessary.

Sure you aren't exaggerating your net worth, like say Hellmuth, who doesn't belong to a local club in his area? In Vegas it's very easy to determine who is financially successful if they golf based on this metric alone. I call BS.
It’s a GrouchoMarx line I think. Duh?

I believe surfnsnowboard is a known guy (former cop and big Trump supporter) that used to play on LATB so personally knows Limon and apparently has some sort of history with him.

he hasn't actually done any of that, hes parlayed his money and hired some smart people it seems. hes a fish on a heater. its like saying jamie gold, jerry yang and robert varkoni were/are the best players in poker. you look at how they play the hands not the outlier results. he made 1st year business school mistakes on the twitter purchase . he waived due diligence got locked into a 33 billion to high price and lost in court multiple times while getting rolled by the twitter board. it would be like folding AA pre flop in a cash game or not raising the nuts on the river. he played the hand like a moron because he is a moron.

1. Thoughts on the future of gambling for a living/being an advantage player? Do you think opportunities are growing or shrinking? Any advice for someone pursuing this (say they left the day job a long time ago at this point but are doing alright)? I saw your post about starting a game/booking bets. Not looking for anything specific, more so wondering about your general thoughts.

2. When you first started playing full time, were you always on the grind, playing crazy hours, etc. or more laid back like you are now with only playing day time hours, golf, vacations, etc.? I know you dug your poker game out of the felt but you also seem like you want to enjoy life. Was there a point in time where you felt like you "made it" and could relax?

3. Do you know how to use Excel? Did you have to use it in your old finance job?

4. Do you think it's possible that wan lee was cheating?
1. Shrinking and shrinking fast.

2. While you enjoy poker/ap you should do as much as humanly possible because later on you’re not gonna want to put in the hours and playing when you don’t want to is a recipe for destruction

3. I’m sure i remember some. I built subprime credit models so it wasn’t a spreadsheet heavy job. It was more of an art form figuring out why some people with a sub 600 credit score payed and some didn’t and implementing these policies to large groups of salespeople.

4. Nah. There were several like him during that time. Many players who are broke /microstakes now who had a safe deposit box full of 5k chips in 2008.

The lawyers twitter hired which successfully forced him to buy twitter, he ended up paying for himself as the new owner of twitter, and then he argued they charged too much because it was such an easy case to win.

His legal argument to back out of buying twitter was that the user data provided to him contained too many bot accounts, which was obviously irrelevant due to the fact that he waived his due diligence voluntarily for no apparent reason.

It was probably the most bumbling incompetent corporate buyout of all time. I think folding AA preflop as an analogy is giving him too much credit. He'd have to play one of the worst hands of poker ever in order for it to be analogous.

why do you think ap plays are shrinking? I think poker is definitely harder than 10 years ago but there are tons of opportunities for AP gambling. The more casinos and legal betting sites the more opportunity. Sure stuff like card counting is watched way closer than it used to be and blackjack has gotten way shittier overall especially in Vegas but there's a lot more than that available to a good AP.

This arguing is an L. I feel gross visiting this forum sometimes, and dumb when I remember that I come directly to the gossip section of it to see if anything has happened. Usually, nothing has.

But then, there was limon. Here is a smug villain for me to dunk on, I thought, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. He says some douchey things, but he's also pretty good-natured and is trying to have some fun here. I'd probably argue with him at the table on day 1, and be fine with him for the rest of the days we played. Limon is funny, and his shtick is one that rubs some the wrong way but you can see in his interaction with Cate that he's not a bully.

You guys think you're going to resolve the political debates that are neverending? You're not. No answer that doesn't combine the concerns of both parties will ever work, and neither (not Limon nor new angry guy) party is charismatic or popular enough to implement a new solution. That's why we elect people to make these tough decisions, but instead of choosing our leaders by who is qualified and who has perspective and intelligence, we choose from who "wants the job".

Things are a mess, and this is not news to anyone in the threads. The state of this whole world can be condemned, but we have a long-standing history or overcoming our dumb ****ing decisions. Whining about it here is not helping. Go outside, sweep your sidewalk, spend some $ in your community, or help a useless moron with a task.

In the meantime, if you are going to argue, please consider the lurkers. Be funnier, make bad memes, and drop saucy gossip. We are bored. We are so. ****ing. Bored. Nobody is checking NVG several times a day unless they really are hoping for something good to happen. There hasn't been a Marf 600k thread, or a Will the cat make the jump thread, in so ****ing long. This thread is not it, but it was a lot more readable before religion and politics got involved. Squash ur corny ass beef and play heads-up online for our amusement, or box on stream, or make out. I don't care, but stop being wack.

It will be taught in business schools for 100 years as one of the biggest blunders of all time and a cautionary tale about beleving your own press and not understanding due diligence.

I think a cursory glance at this thread will show I had beef with no one and was just answering questions as they came. The people attacking are literal nobodies with no following and nothing to add. This isn’t a “both sides” thing and I reject any such lazy characterization. I was doing good content in good faith and shyt eating trolls chased me here for clout. I ignore them after a couple good dunks in their face and they slink off under their rocks. Mods can clean it up for better signal to noise ratio or leave the chaos. All fine with me.

I think you’re prob more likely right about this than not. I’m just out of the loop on the new stuff and the old stuff is dried up. That said I don’t see modern APs making big scores or making a living like we did in the past. You could just have a regular type job/living as a card counter. When I hear about modern plays they are quick hits or sort of like bonus hustling stuff that comes and goes.
