Costa Ricans, in my view, are the best people to have playing poker at your cash game table. Games there are highly social, energetic, friendly and loose. Generally, the players are having a good time ....
Social and fun games are good but cool people can come from a wide range of backgrounds in my experience. I'd hate to exclude a particularly cool individual from my social group based merely upon their nationality.

no "euro" is ever excluded based upon their nationality lol, no one even knows where most of these dipshits are from! they just fly in like locusts for three months, destroy the fertile fields, then fly out.

Limon, DrDownLow suggests you seem like a douche. Any thoughts on that?

Spoiler:
Surprisingly good thread IMO.

Love this. When I started playing live I always found these guys (from Balkan countries mostly where I live) very uncomfortable to play with.

But after some time you realize a very large percent of them are completely harmless despite their demeanor, unless you go out of your way to piss them off. And if you have just a little bit of people skills, the actual dangerous/criminal ones are pretty harmless as well. They bring large action a lot of the time and when you get to know them that fire and emotion is only funny and makes for an emotional and interesting game instead of robotic nit games.

Questions:

1. What is the backstory of the name limon.

2. You seem like a person who is high IQ and definitely smarter than the vast majority of players. I find that people like you, unless they have Aspergers or something, generally shy away from poker after a while as it isnt stimulating enough mentally. I dont mean this in a condescending way, but why do you think you find most enjoyment out of lowbrow activities (poker, golf) despite your (I guess) high intelligence.

3. Any gambling stories from outside the US, or have you always been an LA player through and through=

the sad part of this is i can't mention a modern player because there isn't even ONE (1) everyday 10-20 nl game at commerce anymore or ANYWHERE in los angeles public poker. its over kids.

Hi Limon, as someone who runs games and has experience dealing poker ecosystem I am curious about your thoughts.

Some app games and private games have unbeatable rake/winning % cuts/fees ect.
Do you think it is unethical to spread unbeatable games for both pros and recs? Is it fine to spread a game where only the host wins?

1. It was from an account my brother opened at rec.gambling.poker in like 1996 or something. i took that account over and just kept the name. its from the doc movie "my brothers keeper"

2. i play basically the minimum poker for the last 14 years (prob average 15 hours a week). i make money off the games and the people in the games in many ways. its also a decent social club and gets me out of the house. Golf is as highbrow as it gets!!! lol.

3. I play in america and vacation in europe, euros should play in europe and vacation in america.

its totally fine to spread unbeatable game if everyone knows the rake beforehand (nearly every game/slot in every casino is unbeatable!!). for a fish EVERY GAME IS UNBEATABLE! so if youre a fish would you rather your money go to an aspergers pro or euro that does nothing for you, and possibly even berates you or a poker host who has a glass of johnny walker blue in your hand and a high end hook...errrr..masseuse.. rubbing you.

By far the most entertaining and value of any poster blogger etc.. of all time and it's not close.

But.... he won't read Blood Meridian. Maybe he has a price that he would read it for but that I can't afford.
