*** December 2024 High Stakes Thread ***
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board flight 12-2024. Thank you for choosing highstakes airlines. We are ready for take
My assumption is that interview was so awkward because Kaki thinks hes a bit off his rocker and shouldn't be playing but has to try and hype it up at the same time
He just got stacked a second ago jj<99 on 922xx
stefan: *discusses top players in the challenge, says they are all really tough but says he thinks he has an edge and can beat them
i think i can beat them
*not a single mention of karma*
kakitee:
i can tell you believe in karma
*goes on rant about karma not existing as far as he is concerned
*proceeds to say one of the dumbest things possible, which also underscores he has no idea what karma is - meanwhile don't forget that stefan didn't mention karma once in the interview, this is kakitee going off in his planned spiel talking about some other time when he got "stefan believes in karma" vibes
if karma is real then what is an injured child? how does a child die?
then goes on to answer his own question instead of letting stefan answer it
stefan: *stalls because of the sheer stupidity of such a statement
then produces this amazing nugget in response
i think we live in some kind of simulation and i don't know how it works
this is huge, you're getting one of the biggest poker players ever stating in an interview that he thinks we live in a simulation - this is your moment kakitee, grab this, ask followups and shine!
will he do it though? will he actually not be a self centered asshat who makes it all about himself instead of getting stefan to elaborate further on this?
Spoiler
no
Spoiler
instead he goes peak kakitee and just half agrees but gives his spin on it
Spoiler
he then ignores the simulation and proceeds to ask follow up questions about injured children and states that injured children aren't really alive in the simulation because its just a simulation - all in a way to justify how karma could exist in his worldview as stefan looks completely disinterested and looks at his phone as kakitee drones away like an idiot on something of his own design, a further elaborating on this injured child thing which stefan just ignored from the start
Spoiler
when your interview subject looks like this the entire time, you're clearly sucking balls at interviewing him and instead just giving your unhinged rants about whether injured children are real or not
DavyJones and Sunni sitting now - heating up already. Looks like GG dropped the ball with high stakes as their Exclusive lobbies been dead for weeks. So much for the argument that regs won't play each other...
That was always a really dumb argument. One thing it doesn't account for is that even IF there isn't really an edge to be made at that top level (I certainly think there is) people have egos and that is incentive enough to go to war with another top dog

it's ok to suck at life more than me bro, but keep it to yourself. let the thread be for poker not whatever you think you're talking about

Didnt like his reasoning for not beating 1k on GG. That his opponents didnt respect his raises and he didnt get enough dopamine rush to really try and beat them. What an answer.
Props to his backers for giving him the go

Funny that the guy who says someone sucks at life is the same guy who actively encourages blatant and deeply hateful racism and misogyny in his private discord.
It’s almost 2025, you should probably at least pretend to be a decent human being!

do all of us a favor and keep your opinion to yourselves please
this is the best hs thread for a long time, don't spoil it
thank you
hi kakitee, nothing sadder than making a sock puppet to defend yourself
try sucking less and not being terrible at your job and perhaps you won't be faced with reality of how much you suck at it
that was an embarassingly bad interview, probably the worst i've ever seen anywhere (not just poker) - it was truly atrocious - you wanted to be the protagonist so badly and it showed and you could have probably gotten away with it if you were even remotely coherent but instead just spewed your standard conspiratard drivel about things you don't even remotely understand
you had the room alone with one of the greats and instead started telling him how great he was and about why injured children shouldn't exist instead of interviewing him - shame on you - you blew it
you stream to make a living, i don't - one of these things is not like the other
i easily have 10x+ the bankroll you have (if you even have one?) something about glass houses is appropriate here, but to put it in words you'll understand, no injured children exist if they stream for a living because then they are streamers and not injured children
Rooting big for Stefan.
Didnt like his reasoning for not beating 1k on GG. That his opponents didnt respect his raises and he didnt get enough dopamine rush to really try and beat them. What an answer.
Props to his backers for giving him the go
I think this could be valid and legitimate.
There was a year when I was transitioning from 2k to 5k stakes, and subsequently would put 5k tables in the middle of the screen and 2k tables more towards the corners of the screen, and after 6 months grind or so, that resulted in my winrate being 2x better at 5k than 2k.
I think playing much lower stakes than you are used to can make you less interested and bored and it's harder to pay proper attention and put proper effort.
I think only legitimate answer Stefan should answer for himself: is he able to properly adjust to different dynamics at the tables when he plays different player pool, and he just didn't do it because 1k is boring for him, or he just plays his own playing style that only works in specific player pools.

see, these are the kind of follow up questions that would have been asked if kakitee actually tried interviewing him 😀
