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.
You are right its different from a 10/20 whale, its a 1000/2000 whale, which is even more rare and likely more sensitive/eccentric
And the professional players are already doing him a service by showing up and agreeing to play a game they’re massively under-rolled in otherwise there would be no stream and no game for him to play in. Who is to even say he’s a whale, he didn’t get out of line once he just peddled the nuts all night. It was a nasty hit and run any way you cut it.

No professional in this game is under-rolled in it by choice. If you're a pro who had access to this game you can easily sell off as much of yourself as you want.
he folded the winner???

Pros doing the fish a favor is a new one, thanks for that.
Limp-clickback 4-bet -> donk flop for pot. What the **** am I watching?
Calling Mike a whale is pretty insulting considering the way he played. Certainly a good but not "best in the world" type player.
Also lmao at the hoodie bro. I expect Robl or someone to pop out of that costume once he stacks someone. What the hell is going on with this game. 😃
Omfg, has to be rfid error right?
Fully expecting Keating and Thomas to play the largest pot in televised/streamed history.
500k misread lol

I just can't believe they really pulled some random "European businessman" that noone ever heard of out of nowhere. Super High Stakes Poker is such a small scene, somone's gotta know who he is, esp with the hand tats (that do look mega fake tho). Normally ggbruuce knows everyone lol, but seems he's not around. I spent couple minutes now scrolling thru old streams where all the other euro whales like Leon, Wolf etc played, some of them were like 10+ yrs old, but nothing. You can pretty much assume how he look's like when they do zoom in on him, looks like 40-60 years old, gray beard, pale and skinny. He also handles the chips and cards like he has lots of experience, so seems to play a lot, which makes it just even more confusing that somehow noone seems to know who he is.
I mean, Ivey mucked the winner in the main with like 20 left but $500k ouch.
Its pretty clear that someone in this lineup doesn't want Polk to play.
Its not Dwan or Steve as they played last night.
My guess its Keating or Maybe Texas Mike?
Polk bought advertising so clearly Nick doesn't have a problem with him playing.

His play does not scream regular vip-player, but complete new occasional-whale. I'd guess he's an actual unknown.
edit: yesss the 4k straddles. The straddle is prob close to #1 most important thing to pumpppp thingsss uppppppp

Dwan is such a station these days.
Has he made a big fold on any of the three nights?
That's how Polk lost all his profit last night.
Trying to bluff stations.

Commentator deserves kick in the nuts for AGAIN blarfing out the ridiculous "there's not players with 1 million dollars just waiting to jump in". Doug replies in chat he's literally waiting with 1 million dollars lmaoooo
STOP PRETENDING IT'S NOT DUE TO POLITICS, jesus.
