I also get the feeling poker is only hobby money anymore even if you are decent studied player. Good games simply are running less and less.

I found amazing game last year, made nice profit. But this year the same game has like 0.25x value it used to have, and its always like this.

Only exception to the rule seem to be the live games in USA. Ridic good games still.

This is changing quickly because “euro-grinder” **** regs from around the globe have descended upon the good American games like a swarm of dour Grindy locusts. The very best games at stakes that matter (above 5-10) are all moving private or hosted.

Eurogrinders don't play games that solvers don't exist for. And they don't go to places with tornadoes and MAGA and actual locusts.

I agree with your assessment if you're only talking about solved games in fashionable cities.

Supposedly it will have new features or whatever. A weird place to test is since I’ve never used any features or asked for them. I just want my posts not deleted when I’m owning bitch ass morons who come to MY thread to attack me FIRST.

The fear over technological advancements, like the current AI fear porn, “destroying jobs” has never been warranted though-out human history and here the reason why:

In the short term businesses will eliminate and automate jobs to save money and increase profits but this will be immediately counteracted by businesses that will spend the same amount of money and keep the workers to increase quality and service in different areas.

Quality and service will always outpace low prices in the marketplace and we can all see that around us everyday. By any known metric the quality of everything we use today is far higher than it was decades or even a few years ago, it’s production requires far more workers and the prices just go up.
Technological advances through all of human history have always produced more jobs and better products at a higher price. These are all good things! The fear mongering is laughable. We all live in the greatest times the world has ever known. Anyone from the past would kill to be where you are right now, and it only gets better. Ignore the fear porn, deal in facts and logic.

Probably. If you asked me what sort of texts he was sending to female players I would have guessed 10x worse than that. If he sent anything like that to a hustler employee he’s likely gone.

My guess is Nick provided the primary funding for starting HCL using the profits from his real estate investment seminars (allegedly basically a scam). I question whether Ryan had the capital to put it together on his own.

Maybe HC should talk to Laurel the dealer who doesn’t work there anymore. Someone is covering for someone. And why anyone would give Vertucci any kind of cover whatsoever is beyond me.

Hopefully she gets a good lawyer. There is plenty to shoot for.

the casino puts up a large portion of the money in most instances. the people running the show are are a independent contractor that can be separated from and the show will get a new production company from the casino. the casino generally wants this stuff at arms length so they cant put their license at risk though cheating or money laundering scandals that might be caught on film. i have no specific info on the HCL deal.

no clue but, sometimes they end up dealing a cushy ILLEGAL private game making over $100 an hour and it keeps things quiet.


Maybe I misunderstood but I thought Ryan basically came up with the money to buy all the video/sound/equipment and finance show production. It's like DGAF's arrangement with Lucky Lady - the casino supplies a room and dealers but show production is DGAF Live's problem. That production upgrade is what I'd thought Nick might have financed. But what do I know - not much 😀


I should have said this before, but years ago I listened to your pods and I learned about being a real pro. Never been a poker beast but ideas like "diversifying your gambling portfolio" planted seeds that would one day sprout into a much better life.

I do have a question. Do you think HCL really makes/made much money and, if so, how?

shows dont make money off the you tube income or lame on stream adds like people think, they make money by putting asses in seats at the casino. one million you tube views pays like $5000. its pennies. the casino gives HCL a cut of the rake while the show is on, some deal like that, and im sure its pretty lucrative but not amazing money. people who run these shows have a to of access to whales and can steer them to online sports books, private games and app games they run, thats where the BIG money is.

take a show like live at the commerce, where everyone is operating above board, no one is making ****. everyone is losing money on that. i could use that vehicle to make a mountain like i did with LATB "side projects" but you have to have an OPEN mind. lol.

hawaii and LA are big places. i need some clue of where youre gonna be staying and what you are interested in.

Erm by the airport in LA for like 2 nights

And the main island in Hawaii on a, you know average/low budget if there are any local knowledge you could give us 😀 of either of the two places just interested in something fun/ romantic I guess, something the lady would like 😉

and thank you very much Limon hopefully will come to LA one day for the poker games that would be amazing, but a long way from your kind of games at the moment haha.

Hope you are doing well Limon and hope you have some kind of new show soon 😀

the airport is basically in the ghetto, theres nothing "romantic" around there. the nearest beach is dockwieler which is only 3 miles away and the best restaurant is Jame (very good middle priced italian). thats your best bet for quick, cheap and romantic.

everything i do in hawaii is super expensive so no help there. splurge for this:https://www.fourseasons.com/hualalai/

The 2+2 post, not the event itself. I still remember this. I used to love watching Cate and Cyrus. Cyrus still posts occasionally on social media, so I keep up with him a little.
