Hustler Casino Live - Nick Vertucci

Hustler was dead AF before HCL. It was Commerce #1, Bike #2, Hawaiian Gardens a distant #3, and then Hustler was a ghost town. Now Commerce is still packed as ever, Bike is still packed as ever, and Hustler much more busy, usually the third most popular casino and sometimes the second. HCL legitimately gets like 10-100x the views that LATB ever did. Also nobody outside of a niche community ever watched LATB. HCL is very popular and has brought a lot more recs into the game. It's better for bringing recs into the game than the WSOP is now. It has an international audience.

Nick you know you don’t have to use an alt account right? Please don’t show me any dick pics though.

The only thing Nick has that could conceivably be envied by a person of average intelligence and character is a lot of money.

Most could honestly say they wouldn't want to get rich by scamming the elderly. Like, I'm sure many people here could swindle old people out of their savings if they really put their minds to it, but they genuinely don't want to.

That's like saying anyone who works for IBM is a hypocrite if they have a negative view of Isis because IBM works with the military.

All the games outside the stream at hustler existed and were played with around the same amount of tables before HCL as after it except the 10/20 plo which I thought was private. If I’m wrong please give specifics I’m genuinely interested in what games got more popular because I used to play there. That being said hustler being more popular in la and just shuffling people from the bike or Hawaiian gardens or Hollywood park or even commerce doesn’t really make a meaningful difference about anything unless you have ownership in hustler imo as I said before I don’t know why you’re fixated on that.

I said HCL was a better product. I DO think that it’s good for poker and bringing attention to the game. I just think everything involving nick on HCL seems worse IMO so it’s a ****ing shame he’s involved with it imo but maybe I’m wrong.

Not to derail the discussion but i thought the bike has been dead for like 10 years from when they got raided by the cops there’s no way it was #2 right? I mean when’s the last time they had a game over 5/5. Hawaiian gardens and Hollywood park had a popular 5-10 and 10-20ish game I thought

Bike was popular again after it got remodeled and usually had a 5/10 going and the 5/5 often played as 5/5/10 anyways.

Bike and Commerce popularity didn't go down or actually went up while Hustler popularity still went up. If somehow all those players came from Hollywood Park that's also a good thing because that room should be bulldozed.

She likely just has a hotter/richer sugar daddy already if thats what her socials look like

Ahh I see what you’re saying now. In my experience games in la just shuffled around town and for the big games were just buying time until they got poached by home games but if you’re there now and see something different then I should take you’re word for it and I can see why an influx of new players to hustler is good for poker. Never had an issue with Hollywood park or Hawaiian gardens but didn’t play at them much to be honest. I do miss poker from when I was in la were lots of different choices doesn’t exist like that anywhere else except Vegas really.

well well well...

na he just has a bigger penis

Two things can be true at the same time.

1. Nick Vertucci is a mega douche bag and pathetic creep

2. Nick Vertucci is getting more flak than he would otherwise because hes also a ****ing nit nut peddler

Exactly. The hard part about being a scamming POS is being so morally bankrupt you can do it,not the actual scam.

who bet money that Trump would be re-instated after losing last election.

What an idiot

He's definitely getting more flack than if it was for example Ryan - but that's because he's always been a scamming mega dueche.

Pretty tone-deaf for HCL to carry on streaming and posting clips on twitter without making a statement or disabling comments.

Unless they are planning on parting ways with Vertucci what can they even say? "You can watch me share unsolicited dick picks on Hustler Casino Live!"

I guarantee Nick feels zero shame or remorse and thinks everyone talking against him right now is a libtard cuck

I played a long session at Hustler last night so listened to much of the solve for why podcast, which devoted much of the show to Nick V. Like most creepers, once the word is out more stories start to come out.

This thread has lowered my already low view of many of the posters on 2+2. The thought of someone having to endure Nick harassment because they need to keep dealing on the stream is sickening and indefensible yet for some reason people here feel the need to defend him because of some perceived benefit to the broader community.

I do not play as much these days, but have not noticed much uptick at Hustler since HCL got bigger. Many nights the 5-5-10 sits at 5-6 on the wait-list and never gets going. The 5-5 will have 2-3 tables that shrink to 1-2 before it gets very late. Doubt many people have started playing anywhere because they stumbled across the stream.

My view of people gets lowered when they think their behavioral policing for an interaction they weren't even involved in is relevant or needed. It's pathetic. Get a life.

So we should just ignore someone who preys upon the vulnerable when a groundswell from enough people in the poker community could actually make an impact? Doubt Nick V will change even if HCL was forced to distance themselves from Nick (and even getting a statement seems unlikely), but public shaming would send a message that the behavior is unacceptable.

The idea that we should be unconcerned by anything that does not directly impact us is one reason this behavior is still prevalent despite me too having a brief run.

You are literally doing what you claim is irrelevant, unneeded, and pathetic.

true. but at this point if you get rid of NV HCL still does great. Get rid of Ryan it goes in the shitter.
Nick is the money behind it, not the brains behind it or the guy putting together the lineups.

It's up to her if she wants to file sexual harassment suit.

Cant press charges since its not illegal to flirt (badly)

The public shaming is ongoing on twitter.

What more do you want? It's didn't happen to us so there is literally nothing more that can be done

If you want all of us to sit in a circle holding hands and singing Kumbaya, My Lord, your welcome to be the first and get it started but people have been on this planet for over 300,000 years and world wide peace has yet to taken off and probably never will.

What if Nick had raped a 12 year old. Would it be ok to police his behavior then?

Let’s be real, we all socially judge the behavior of others, it’s all a question of where you draw the line.

Nobody is saying Julie should take him to court. If he's being publicly shamed for doing this to her and other women what's the problem?
He's a fake tough guy who has meltdowns on social media if anyone says anything negative about him. but people can't use social media to say anything about him when it's true?

Apparently Lauren the dealer was fired for complaining about him doing **** like this to her which is in fact something she can sue for.
