*** July 2024 High Stakes Thread ***

But it probably overrealizes a lot in a 3-bet pot too, since you have position.

Yeah I think it's supposed to overrealize the same % as a call as it does against 3bet-call but that's some solvermetagamemagic

Yea I def can’t attest for everyone but I have a good friend, former poker player turned nosebleed-stake-sports bettor, who has been dabbling in the 2-400 through 5-1k games. He has 100% himself and it operates just like any other site ie deposit, play, withdraw funds. Nothing strange or off in his experience.

No idea any info on these streamers who pop up and play 20x their stakes tho but the nosebleed games are seemingly the same as nosebleed acr games

Surely not the legend himself?

No way that's actually cumicon. Way too weird if it is. Winning almost 8 figures at exclusively nosebleeds HUplo and retiring and then ten years later play 25/50 6max? Nah... Especially not with a btc profile pic lol. Makes zero sense.

its not him, its a swedish guy

The fake Cumicon that made more money playing poker than the real Cumicon

Name pls?

in for more stefan 1k hands if theyre about.

although kinda shitty to just be posting one guy from datamined hands i guess

kakitee is playing highstakes? thought he transitioned from midstakes NL to PLO like couple years ago

Doubt many people will recognize him, but he was advictoria on stars and cumicon on gg. Was only playing fish hu on stars and quit when they added Koth. He is quite a legend in the swedish community, he exclusively played fish hu in both NL and PLO for 15 + years waiting for action essentially 24/7. He ran a blog back then and he would constantly get hate from the old guard that obviously only made a fraction of what he did. He had so many fun stories and some urban myths from back then. My favorite one was that he skipped nl1k and just jumped from nl600 to nl2k, cant remember the explanation but he was confident about it and it was obv some complete non sense.

He was also a sponsored pro at some euro site where they offered up to $100/200 3max and everytime a fish sat he would have a friend blocking the 3rd seat so he would get HU w the fish. If a reg tried to sit those tables he would just have them banned from sitting those tables. So essentially he had his own stake where fish was only allowed to play him hu. Mind this is before 2008, big bucks were made.

I can't confirm it but there was also a urban myth that he built a massive house and convinced his parents to quit their jobs and move in with him to essentially be his paid personal assistants to improve the ev of his grind.

But yeah as mentioned he made way more money than the real cumicon and probably had the highest work ethics out of every online reg there ever was in terms of putting in hours in front of the computer.

Interesting. Can you find the blog? Also there’s no way he made more than the real Cumicon, who made 8figs. He gets quite tilty when he loses a few bis from what I’ve seen. Props to him though, would’ve been my idol back in the day.

This is him https://x.com/salle7de?s=21&t=RSNZw100jt...

Why do you want to read his blog, if you wont believe anything you read of it lol. It's just laughable how you even question it. Even the worst hu reg with the worst mental game in the world would easily beat a typical recreational for 10-20bb/100. You need to have a terrible understanding of numbers and statistics if you think it even matters when he sat/possibly sit at the computer for 16h per day for 20 years. He still made more money than like 99% of hs-regs in todays game.

Lol, I remember AdVictoria, at least for some time on Stars he had used the same clown avatar that ImagineKing used. 😃

Many players have no idea what the maximum possible winrates are in certain environments because they only view online poker as a 6max 5 regs to 1 fish game. I've played in high stakes 6max 5card Omaha lineups with 2 players at the table losing > 200bb/100, yes that is two zeros and not a typo.

link to blog? sounds like an interesting read

Yeah, 200bb/1 seemed off.

Mixed my clowns together, AdV was Stephen King's It.

Carldenstore as stated before and heliga_ak. It's so far back I have no clue. I'm being a dick or whatever you call it because I think you are stupid to question one of the very best plo players (in top 10) in all lists. Personal opinion that thread is better if people listen to pros with insight rather than trying to question them or shut them down. Even if you don't believe it you could phrase it differently rather than saying "aint no way".

You also pulled some similar antics on the topic of wether how much o4r can cash out from coin.

Thanks for sharing this was a really interesting read!

Who are pros who have insight? You? Who are you?

Isn’t it better to question things that seem insane (withdrawing 20m from an unregulated crypto site and having a higher win rate than the real cumicon - are quite incredible statements) rather than believe what random ppl are saying on an internet forum, I have no clue who you are fwiw, maybe you have inside knowledge I don’t have, so enlighten me.

Rahm was mentioned in every single top 10 list and by looking from results and lobbies you could argue he is top 5.

You shouldn't have even answered his questions after the last sentence to be honest
