RIP Limon. Fly high with Matthew Perry

Alright Limon lets get the point of view of an euro.

I played the hotel side nlhe games quite a bit at CC. A beautiful game where limps were casually isolated with chips of hundred. You apex predator? Right. Maybe your great grandfather was one when he inseminated your mother. Rest of the story is just an addict that had money handed over to him. I saw you maybe once or twice on the hotel side. Usually you were hanging out among other peasants on the low stakes side playing some measly plo game (with a sick rakeback deal!!). Fact is that if you would have entered our game we would have taken turns on your fat ass with the spanish guys. Ofcourse only after these random millionaires were ready sucking our dicks dry. American regs were always considered soft. They had gotten rich in this insanely soft environment. Even a monkey can excel if you hand it a machine gun. Nowadays most of these guys would not stand a chance if they had to start from zero.

But yeah on a more serious note sure euros are/were super bad for the game. We would come to LA and do nothing else than play poker. Maybe go to the gym but just to gain some EV at the table. 300-400h months were not unheard of. I remember this one guy that had played 24/7 for months sitting at the table with earplugs and noise cancelling headphones on to be in complete silence. Others shared beds in the casino hotel to minimize costs, sleep in turns etc. Some would take a taxi from the airport to the casino, stay on the premises for a month and fly back home.

Some pretty sick stuff. Fun for a while but definitely not sustainable in the long run.

Luckily my dirt rich grandfather died during covid so I don’t have to worry about money anymore. I cant help to feel sorry for these euro regs that are now in their 30s, far from being set for life and have no education or other means to make money than poker. The glory of playing 24/7 has faded out. Would be nice to have a life. But no either you play some very tough games online with a variance shooting through the roof or you move to one of the “poker hubs” in europe to play live. Even here the biggest games are private and you need to suck someone dry to get a seat. I guess the best bet would be to marry an american girl and grind in the new world. Im pretty sure it would still be very easy to make 100k+ in the states playing live poker.

when will these idiots realize that limon is playing a much bigger poker game than their little myopic brains can imagine. that rake you paid...i rubbed it on my titties.

St. Andrews



Id pay a large but not crazy amount, maybe $2000. Im generally not overwhelmed by courses. my fav course in america is prob Old Mac at Bandon dunes. its a pretty simple, rustic, course but you can wander around and hit strange shots there for days.

1. with serious gamblers we just use "inside the leather" of a designated putter. solves all disputes. With recreational gamblers i just give them everything up until the point im gonna lose!!!

2. many many times, if i have to meet someone back in oregon its always at bandon dunes. old mac

3. its just pliny. its always pliny.

4. an incumbent quitting is virtually unheard of and never works out. the power of incumbency is much stronger than a POSSIBLE younger or better candidate. Biden is doing a great job by any measure and he should sail to reelection once people start to see the alternative is chaos and fascism.

i think you answered your own question.

thank you kind sir! ya, they should play it at liberty national or something. it looks great on TV and has giant crowds.

double entendre?

appreciate the historic reference.

You are definitely OG

1. Best vacation you’ve been on and why?

2. Favorite Tiger Woods moment from his career. I’ll always remember the chip in on #16 in 2005 and the 2019 Masters?

3. Does a caterpillar know it’s going to be a butterfly or does it build the cocoon without knowing what’s going to happen?

1. Ive had months of run bad in giant games, it was brutal i lost 6 figs to the worst player in the game who everyone else was making their entire year off of. someone has to be that guy i suppose, i didn't think about quitting but i did move down in stakes. you gotta know when to say when.

2. probably but its impossible to know, when you see snippets of someone getting crushed and quitting you never think "that guy was really great". The % of great players that run bad for so long they quit is a tiny %. The opposite is far more noticeable, a guy who sucks who crushes the game for a while maybe even a year or more. Ive seen this many times, questioned whether they knew something everyone else didn't, or were cheating, decided "no" on both and in every instance that player was broke sooner or later.

Have you apologized yet for trying to get this thread shut down and then lying about it? If not, fukk all the way off.

How bout them cowboys limon

Abe, thank you for doing this thread. I always appreciate your thoughts and humor.

Question for you: what are your thoughts on when a fish asks you to show your cards? Recently a guy kept hounding me at the table, and I just kind of kept ignoring it, but at a certain point it started to bother me (not once did I ask to see his cards lol).

I always tell them to tip the dealer $5 and I'll show. Adjust your amount to your desire to keep it secret.

Mr. Limon would you grind micros and build a roll or just save and hop into a regular live game... I've been trying to grind micros and feel like it's possible but am debating just getting a car before the summer and grinding uber or something for a couple months and switching it up to play live. I feel like I'm a good player and have been successful at certain points but grinding micros is messing me up.. I'm leaning towards working up a roll than going back to live play. What do you think? Thanks

What percentage of actual winning poker players do you think commit felony tax evasion?

I just switched a wrestling PPV @ the Palms. Where were you?

I just use soap. Whatever is free from hotels. I’ve never actually bought soap in my life that I can remember.

Ask my maids.

I do nothing to my hair.

Hi Limon,

Big fan of yours as you know, and you have great hair

You have a great attitude who doesn’t get phased by anyone ……

How do you deal with everyone 1) not care about people you don’t agree with and 2) in a job where everyone can leave it to you, how do you tell everyone to get involved and do it themselves

I feel like it’s pretty unfair to compare the WSOP to the Kentucky Derby.
The Derby is one day, but the WSOP runs multiple tournaments every single day for two months, and also generates enough audience to float long simultaneous tournament serieses at several other Vegas casinos.

It’s not just the Main Event that setting attendance records. It’s many other events at a wide range of buy-in levels, often for games that are otherwise almost completely dead like Razz.

A serious player at any stake can easily play a more profitable tournament schedule during the two months of the WSOP than they do during the rest of the year combined.

That’s amazing if true. I’m not even being sarcastic or smart ass.

1. I don’t really like vacations that much. I’ve been around the world and all over the US. Los Angeles is basically best place in earth. Everything you find around the world you find at the same quality in Los Angeles. That said, pro tip: Portugal is better than Spain at half the cost. There’s zero reason to ever go to Spain.

2. Better than most, better than most!!!

3. Wild question. Lol. I’ll give it my best guess. Caterpillars don’t know much, doubt they even have a brain, but insects like that do figure things out and change their behavior based on changes in their surroundings. So on some level they do notice things. So if you’re a caterpillar, that can notice things, you definitely have noticed all your buddies turning into butterflies. No caterpillar, or anyone else, knows the future but they have an inkling of what’s coming I’d guess.

I generally let fish get away with murder. Even flipping my hand over. You can use it to your advantage in the future. Just make it clear to the fish that he “owes you one”. You can get him to show you a card during the hand or something really +ev. They don’t care. Other players seeing you hand is fine. It usually hurts them because they think your play against the fish is how you play against them.
