so why dont more good hs regs jump in since they are always looking for the rare juicy games? or is it invitational only?

invitation only - game only exists because it's a marketing tool, this would never exist in the real world

with marketing tool also comes marketing budget, could be a freeroll for everyone for all we know

always has 2x$5k bullets and he normally plays micro stakes (unless it is after the end of the month, which is when salaries are paid out here in Sweden OR when he's being offered a freeroll to shot take by Norwegian Kalthor).

since we are discussing paid streamers, does anyone know how it works on GG? Raph claims that he makes $1.5k-$2k from GG for playing 2-3 hours every friday with like 100 viewers while streaming (he is a sponsored streamer on GG). i don't believe it for a minute. check him out though! listening to him cry over every decision all of his opponents do in every hand is ****ing hilarious 😀 he's as delusional as Paisting - they are mostly one and the same.

Thanks for catching me up

Now i certainly understand the disdain for the coinpoker hands posted, even though i appreciate everyone doing their best to share interesting hs hands.

But nobody wants to see a bunch of hand histories of freerolling streamers. I for once would be a lot more interested in 500nl stars hands, even though thats not HS

the complaining is largely over the the $20k+ games devoid of streamers.

pretty unfortunate spot for gazzy in A6 vs 67 but the way the jon little guy talks and thinks about the spot is kinda expected, and its pretty likely his range is [67] :/

yeah, according to himself on his vlog Gazzy has been running bad for a while now when playing higher stakes than he usually does.

i stayed around to watch an hour more of JL's stream and i was shocked how bad he is. doesn't he coach (tournament play, but still)?

thanks for posting hands, guys 😀

There's no way this is how it works. These guys probably all get paid monthly. Imagine how much money they'd be lighting on fire for people who pull in real audiences with these figures

Can of worms here.

If I wanted to, me and someone else could load up 10k on a site and organise a freeroll behind the scenes. The hands would be 2p2 legends.

I can see why people might want them discarded

It won't be a complete freeroll - you'd have 6 poker players trying to pretend they're playing seriously, which would make for awful television.

I reckon they have pieces of themselves, and then the marketing budget covers the rest. Coinpoker will have an infinite bankroll compared to the size of this.

They might even vary the pieces between players. Maybe Mario Mosbock has all of himself and Raph is playing 25NL

Yeah he's terrible, I mean his biggest accomplishment is beating soft live 5/10 games in the US 10+ years ago which played like 5nl does today probably. He's a pathetic excuse for a coach, hasn't even tried to keep up, just puts all his effort into marketing to beginners and not actually being good at the game. All the breakeven live 1/2 players and aspiring 2nl regs love him

Funny JL story, I remember back in the day in a 5k I played a ~100bb pot with Kx spades on AsQsJx. My buddy messaged me that his twitter read “just got a guy to put in 50bb with K8 on AQJ flop, up to XXX stack” conveniently left out the part where his opponent had 40% vs his AJ

you're right, this is probably correct.

Good to see Owen back in the streets. In Bruges is a great film.
