*** October 2024 High Stakes Thread ***
Hello and welcome to the arena!
Previous High Stakes thread: *** September 2024 High Stakes Thread **...
We generally
Tom dwan and Phil Naggy playing 200/400 on twitch
Listen if Venividi wants to do:
(1) chess match
(2) NL match
(3) Power Slap Match (I think it's fair, 2 games we never played before + we can knock each other out if we don't like the result)
I am in to do it.
I know he likes to pretend to play "I am a streemer I like VIP games"
Just let me know,
Grazvydas
sry to interrupt the promotional content but there are now 3 tables Davy,Linus, Llama and I'm out out tickets (the PLO bumhunters scammed me with a breaking game)
Me every time I read some SeaLlama vs Linus hands where someone calls down with 4th pair and it's always good
It's always fun to consider that today's GTO approved lines would have only been played by absolute whales not too long ago.
I wasn't lying to put him top 50.
Someone should also come after his coaching project.
Any idea why Venividi wants to come back playing poker after 10x-ing his bankroll in crypto and saying "ohhh I fear to miss out on my life, you should play less poker"? Wild guess "it's for the love of Twitch chat" and he loves to get his private chef tacos on a stream.
He doesn't make a living from playing poker, or ever was good at playing poker. He runs a successful poker training site. Successful because people pay for a subscription there.
I mean the quality of product and market opportunity.
He is the guy that enjoyed coaching, and was on other site as a hired coach and then successfully given market opportunity created his own coaching site with a good marketing? Congratz to him
Just saying if there was smart people that actually wanted to run high quality poker site, they could probably compete. Though hiring smart coaches wouldn't be easy.
JNandez is a coin poker shill these days. Lost most of his credibility for me.
Galfond is a gangster though. He made lots of money playing poker. Then came back and challenged poker world to hu PLO, shopped for weakest opponents, beat them all, then went ahead and played private HU match 2 times vs top notch HU player and was v competitive in it.
If I was a coach and both Jnandez and Galfond offered me a same value deal, I would rather go work for runitonce.com
But maybe Jnandez is an incredible guy and it's extreme pleasure to work for him, and that's why people stay loyal to him.
Or maybe these sites make you sign some kind of "non compete" contract.
I loved how during his GG sponsorship days he would regurgitate the rake on GG is not that bad if you play it smart and join PLO mastermind but the first thing he did after quitting GG was make a detailed video how bad the rake actually is lolo
It warms my heart we are all scumbags ❤️
Hard to renegotiate for a better rake after GG has confirmation/sample that PLO people will play regardless.
I have a feeling they couldn't have pulled off the same thing for NL.

I'm waiting for Grazvydas coaching to run over the market and be number 1
Thread has gotten so much fun since graz decided to join the party (a bit late but OK🙂)

Perhaps I'm being thick here (likely) and you're being sarcastic which you are, but what are you saying exactly, that the retired rich persona is bullshit and he needs to continue to play poker to earn money, or that he really is rich after '10xing his bankroll in crypto' and his idea of fun is streaming games, when he doesn't need to pay poker (which makes little sense given him preachign to play less) - which is it?

Venividi is loaded with money, he did very well with crypto. (not being sarcastic)
Idk if he wants 2p2 to know that, but he loves when people admire how rich he is.
There's 2 guys that ever in my life had said to me "you should find a life outside of poker, I am retired, go play less and find a life"
That's Venividi and EEE27.
So I am just reminding it to them.

So what's the purpose of playing loads of hours, if he doesnt need to and think its a waste of a life (which it is in some respects if you're already rich, so he's right, unless you adore poker).
