the dejan/seallama content was excellent, fantastic dynamic between those two. seallama being the free speaking joker and dejan the "sane man in the room". i was laughing alot when seallama was friendly semi-trolling dejan not just for llamas funny stuff but also listening to dejan thoughtfully picking his words how to handle it. the turn reopen size stuff was hilarious. i'd tune in to a podcast with these two any day. i got some barkley/ernie vibes

was watching the replay and Kaki unlisted the video in the midst of the Chris Eubank jr gay story. SAD!

can you share link to this. tyty
was up only for me till i spoke w seallama, snap lost 8buyins after that. never talking to him again
you guys think the HU endboss is going to play 6max NL everyday for a watch worth less than one buy-in in the games he plays
Agree 50/100 is rather low stakes for world championships.
Even more so with bitcoin price at 100k.
But it does make for better action/more players.
Kaki streams are good and I’m overall a big fan, just the philosophy jargon is a bit much when it’s distracting from the overall interview, and it’s not all that insightful or interesting and seem kind of pompous. I’d say kaki is very smart but some of the intelligence gets diluted as it sort of starts crossing over into paranoia, delusion and other sort of cruxes that the mind might associate with the “I’ve figured it out and the world are sheep” mode of thinking.

Berri playing 10k would be the same thing as Stefan battling 1k, it's just not fair stakes for such a caliber players.
Do itttt, we can finally shut those NL boys up about us being bums
where do you draw the line then? what's next? razz?
If they setup a PLO version of this would you be in for the title or happily retired?
I guess games might run if CP gave 0 rake for PLO aswell and give ~50k worth bonus.
However, PLO people have already been signed up on CP, only NL guys chose to not play there much, and now CP just grooming up NL people too given the opportunity was there.
one of the alltime sickos in HU just dm'd me today and wondered if coin may run HU as a format for something like this in the future
i think there's a lot of potential for these "players championship" types of events, but the way it will be made great for the site is when viewers show up and are vocal about things. so basically if you wanna see more of X, just say so
personally i'd like to see a PLO equivelant run, probably at 5k if we want a similar number of entrants, but if fans of the game would rather see HUNL or some kinda HU mixed format, whatever suits, then voice that opinion and i think there's a pretty realistic chance of making it happen
Any idea who runs CP btw? Is it SamJazzykins majority owner now?
I know on their site they show these self proclaimed crypto wallets that supposed to hold more funds than player deposits. But we can only check like ETH wallets publicly how much is there actually? Also who is the person to sue in case a site like that would go down? I doubt there's any regulator that actually goes and verifies that players funds are separated from running expenses and being held separate, also who is liable if that site went down?

Think HU PLO would make the most sense for coinpoker and would be the most fun for viewers imo. I do think the configurations kinda suck normally for HU tourneys/challenges. Watching x play y for a certain amount of hands isn't great. Even worse when they play a sng structure where blinds are raised. I would suggest some type of free for all battle where blood will get spilled. With incentives for volume ofc so you can't just try to farm a single guy that you think is weaker and avoid the rest. Personally i think hu zoom is stupid so it would be a big no. Another argument for HU PLO is that it would likely put up bigger numbers in terms of contenders than i.e 6max plo or nlhu.
