Who would you like to see in HCL Million Dollar Cash Game
Some time ago HCL announced that they will be streaming a cash game with minium buy-in of million dollars.
Who would you like to see playing in it?
My list:
1. Rick Salomon
Absolutely fearless, plays fast and loose and puts people in tough spots all the time. Has good feel for the live game.
2. Andrew Robl
Nice to have some super pro also in the mix. Robl is entertaining and fearless.
3. Alan Keating
Well, Keating is Keating. Guaranteed action.
4. Hanz
That huge bluff against Keating earned Hanz a spot in my line up.
5. Eric Persson
I don’t like his antics that much but Eric creates a very unpredictable dynamic to the table. He can throw players off their game or just punt his stack in one hand.
6. Nik Airball
It’s good to have few villains in the table also. Loose and aggressive, can win or lose big. I don’t know how much he would play his villain image in this group though.
7. Tony G drunk
I just remember one Triton cash game from Montenegro when Tony G was hammered and he was just super funny and loosy goosy. If he is sober, he just is fasting and nitting it up drinking his bone broth.
8. Rui Cao
Action, action, action. Funny guy and brings good energy to the game.
9. JRB drunk
JRB is not a good player and his poker is not that interesting but he is funny and can keep the atmosphere in the table. Player like this is also needed.
(10.) Garret Addelstein
I have mixed feelings about Garret. He is a legend but I feel too much focus would go on the Robbi drama so I would leave him out from this one.
I've only seen night 1 but why are you all saying Thomas is good at poker? From everything I've heard he played like crap
played bad by onlineregs standard but has a pretty aggro style which will net him a lot in fishier games Im certain
keating taking 6 $50-$75k "flips" where he's a 4 to 1 dog in a row has to be advertising right?
He also may have been trying to make sure Neymar was the big winner of the night and possibly create a viral clip.
Geymar is only in the mix for money laundering purposes for his friend Jair anyways.
so did this game hit at all with the casuals
Blizerrian couldn't beat the 1/2 at the Golden Nugget. Weak passive pus.
No wonder he doesn't play on streams.
Game changer for poker outside the normal sphere of attention which is pretty key for marketing funnel imo
Many millions of views and impressions on hand histories, tweets, IG posts, tiktoks, YT clips
Ryan Garcia is trending hard this year on social media, Neymar is one of the biggest accounts online and Jimmy Butler is one of the biggest NBA guys so lots of the aggregators were posting content featuring the 3 for easy farming points that would never be posting poker. Stephen A was farming about Garcia and they were showing clips from the show on repeat on his shows.
I don't think we've seen a poker live cash game before be treated like a typical live sporting event with the "mainstream" type people talking about the game happening.
