follow ups, how foolish would you have to be to take online poker serious today and not be using a RTA or some sort of computer assistance.

Is cheating and scamming +EV in poker.


edit final follow up. All The Young Dudes, Cleveland Rocks, Once Bitten Twice Shy, or Golden Age of Rock N Roll

id rep party i suppose 95% of my action was there.

online poker today is a battle of the bots/cheats. it is what it is but dont complain later

even great cheats always go broke. the personality that allows for that is self destructive.

all the young dudes.

This was the point I believed you about being a legend

Most complete poker player/gambler you’ve ever met? Ie, someone with all the intangibles, skill, socially adept, smarts, looks, etc.

Do you think live poker will see any boost with all the cheating/RTA allegations surrounding online right now?
its where you like to live, you still have to live your life and you only get one of them. for me it is always has been and always will be the city of angels, top of the food chain.

Im not long from never playing casino poker again, its really stale and dead, for the social aspects i will be in one or more REAL home games (country club type stuff), not private raked debauchery games

Billy baxter was always impressive

Live poker is dying and nothing will save it. All poker is dying (except the festival of the wsop which has nothing to do with poker, WSOP is to dying poker industry as kentucky derby (festival) is to the dying horse racing industry). If you lift a prohibition somewhere you will have a mini boom but it will be short lived, hives of grinder locusts descend from around the world. DAILY Cash poker games around america are literally half the size they were in 2005-2008 , people post millions of words about making a cheeseburger living playing 1-2nl who would want to be in that industry?

I would do great whenever i was born, its a winners mindset, skillset and work ethic. 99% of the people who tried what i tried failed THEN, it would be the same today. most aren't cut out for it, most are too myopic. most have leaks. people who are failing now would have failed on Party in 2003. you can't go back with the info you have now, you have to be on the cutting edge of the info in real time, if you can't do it now you couldn't have done it then.

What do you think of Billy Walter's advantage plays in sport, stock and golf betting? In his book, he claims to have team up with Phil Mickelson and claims Phil has bet a billion dollar in sport betting and lost 100 million. Believable? Mind boggling numbers.
i was never a big private game guy, i played in danny mastersons game (creepy guy) and vince vaughn (great game, great guy). I was a "partner" for the biggest private game host in LA for like 2 weeks. you have to partner with him and you split profits, you have to show up first, leave last, gamble on anything and play like a maniac when youre in pots with him. its advertising for the game. he pays you last with personal checks and 5k casino chips he doesn't want from places like borgata. I got a good view of what is really going on in many poker games and got the **** out.

billy walters went to jail for ****ing mickletits in order to collect all the money he was due but he always has an out and got a pardon from the scumbag criminal trump. lolol

im low stress and i like to do a lot of other things rather than poker. im pretty bored after 3 hours.

2) I believe you said for the robbi/garrett that your stance was 80% there was no cheating. Has your stance changed?

3) Best piece of advice to get better at live poker?

Appreciate you Limon!
1) probably, who knows, he was a gambling and drug addict. i like my chances
2) 85% and nothing has changed (i addressed this earlier)
3) take bad players seriously

Genuine question. What do you think caused the downfall of 2+2?
Id prob just study a solved game like limit HE solvers and play the big limit he games in LA. multiple tables of 60-120+ go every day for a solved game with very unsophisticated players.

2+2 at one time was the best and biggest "social media" site for poker in the world. it had the best info, OG owners, most users and lax moderation. the social media landscape changed, the poker instruction landscape changed, and the moderation by insufferable no talent ****s intensified. these three things doomed 2p2. (i assume the mods now are great people)

I said before playing on your own stream where you set the lineups and control the security in "real games" (big games where you and others are working) i find unethical (for me) and a recipe for massive problems. If nick disagrees with me about this i have no problem with that, this is just my personal opinion, everyone has their own rules.

This is a really good post. We talked a few times via PM before you got banned lol. Not sure if it was on this sn or not though (pretty sure it was)

We have a lot of common -bw the things you mentioned here as well as never loaning/borrowing or staking /being staked.

Sometimes I feel like a unicorn for never getting inolved in any of that.

It also amuses me how many people always have to play the biggest game even when it's a total dog **** game in every possible way and a small game is better and more fun. Ego in poker is so ****ing stupid.

A few questions-

1)were you the drinking champion of commerce 10/20?

2) I may be wrong but it seems poker is just another form of AP for you. You said you didn't do any of the sports betting bonus whoring etc the last few years.

It's calmed down a lot but they were really giving money out hand over fist for a while. Although the Northeast was the best for it.

Did you not know how lucrative it was or did you just not want to travel for it?

3)what will you spread on blackjack? Most profitable blackjack year?

4) have you ever seen some anti social young bot type kid actually realize poker is best as a fun social game and actually become fun to play with?

5) you said you won't tell (most) people if you see their cards. Would you say anything if you saw a burn card or if someone put too much money in the pot ?

Curious why for ethical reasons you wont pull a Vertuci with steamed games,setting lineups and playing in them etc but will take the edge from seeing someone's cards

Fwiw I always tell people if I can see their cards once but If I see a blackjack dealer flashing for example I'm not saying ****.
