Sean Perry, The "Villain" we Need
In this age of virtue signalers and cancel culture, it's cool to call out people's foibles/hustles/scams/whatever and get outraged. Someone is labeled a scammer and "whoa, that person is bad. I can't root for them." Let's get back to the good old days, where angles at poker/hustles in general were normal. Didn't people say that Doyle a crooked bookmaker, even? Brooding and moralizing is boring, anyways.
One hero, Mikki, unfortunately, is out of action, Vertucci's seems to have been cancelled even though he was a shrewd real estate professional. Eric Person was awesome and Hellmuth got too many windfalls from his All-In buddies' investments to really even care anymore. The list is dwindling, unfortunately.
Let's not kid ourselves, the guy is pretty good at poker and lives a in a nice place, has a fancy watch and flashes the cash. So he's got some sort of bankroll. He's got good poker results and in this video (below) he lays it on the line and demolishes the house without card counting.
There's always talk about making poker fun. Well, we need to stop ostracizing and cancelling villains and worrying about whether his sports betting is legitimate. Instead, put our morality in abeyance and just enjoy the ride. Who has the time to get outraged anymore... that's passe and a sign of mental weakness in the grand scheme. The only sad thing is that Sean Perry seems to have caught the morality police bug with his outrage, if even true. Come on, man (if you're reading), gitty up.
With that, here's him crushing blackjack.

Very true. I’m a fan of the antics cause I understand it’s all just entertainment and I appreciate his recent push towards making the effort of publishing regular content and feeding us, the people, with high stakes behind the scenes action
Didn't he steal loads from Dan Coleman?
It's just too impossibly hard to get around his obvious grifting
Simp harder. Sean is a total fraud. He gets access to sharp lines but by the time he gets them they’re unprofitable. By the time they got to his followers they’re wildly unprofitable. The most successful sports bettors in the world are the ones you’ve never heard of. Besides that he’s the most insufferable human I’ve ever come across. Perfect example of ‘not all publicity is good publicity’. Cause I’m not sure how you could watch that train wreck of a twitter account and think ‘hey I’m gonna pay this guy 5k for picks’

Hi Haralabos!
If it's a low IQ grift, I think it could be even more intriguing. Like who would pay? Everyone knows the story of the 419 eater where John Boko was reverse-scammed and made a wooden Mac keyboard. If not, very fun read. (https://www.419eater.com/html/john_boko....)
I'm too cloistered, personally, to cross paths with those who might fall for such a scam. But I wonder if those who do should do things like group dinners with said type and forget credit cards after ordering a bottle of Chateau Petrus? I'll get you back later, my Venmo limit for the week is reached and my crypto wallet locked me out.
But back to the main narrative. Let's "simp" for villains, though I'm not exactly the emotional type. I'll try to muster some feelings.
And who are the best poker players that make for good villains? I think Sean Perry is particularly decent at poker. Not sure I can say the same about Mikki, but he did value shove KQ in the most unexpected fashion. So what do I know. Mike the Mouth seems to have cleaned up after his prison stint and may not be quite the player he was. Nik Airball seems too fun and likable, even though, based on firsthand experience, investment bankers don't call themselves investment bankers.
One of the funniest stories I've read about Perry
That video when he brought the cutouts with Mikkis face on them to the blackjack table and got it a Shirley temple I almost died laughing
That dude has zero charisma in the video.
Tony G told him he was a disgrace for playing that KJ hand.
