*** December 2024 High Stakes Thread ***

I guess he probably means Phil Galfond messaged him or something...

Do a 4 way shoot out in a HU format with omaha4rollz, Galfond, Berri, GucciNIKE. Also invite Ubersherms and a best sponsored CP PLO pro Venividi, to represent the sponsored pros and streamers side.

maybe ben86 lurking..

This happened in Kaki's discord

To give you an idea of the kind of person he is

wow I'm literally shaking right now you should talk to the discord manager

Hu Would be cool.

could get a 16 player bracket knockout style, like 5k hands/10 BI per match (think stars have done similar previously).

a midstakes version of this at 1k huplo would be great for players. Think 32 players would auto-sign up to play. Not sure there'd be much viewer interest though.

Your huge beef with this guy is that random people in his discord made an unfunny joke aimed towards some black dude ? Yall sound like major pussies

If CP would put up 500k bonus for a promotion to have full end boss HU PLO battle, I am pretty sure there could be 4 or potentially a bracket of 8 players. Once people sign up and wish to concede early, they have to pay a fine that would go to a final prize pool.

Idk how much CP spends to put a "Coinpoker" sticker on every other player at Triton, but I don't think it would be so unreasonable to justify that type of promotion.

Berri, Sanita, Amsogood, Makeboifin, Ubersherms, omaha4rollz, Galfond, Prudently.

Make stakes 400/800

If people are a bit worried about sending crazy big amounts of money to the site, make a deal with "hard vouches" where players HV for one another, and can only say front 10-20% of the money for the site.

Imagine if we had that type of action for say 6 months until we conclude a winner, and the players should have a negotiation power, so the prize could come in say AP watch or 500k cash.

Win-win-win for all parties.

This is not even a made up thing. I think this could become a reality.

I hear about things how much interest people have into playing HU PLO vs one another for massive stakes. There's lots of people are interested. You can def have something like 4 player shoot out for 500/1000 for a massive volume booked in.

If CP thinks it would bring a lot of value to their site to have something like that, they should give players the offer.

CP could protect themselves, that if some player does want to concede early, that his fine would go to that final prize pool that CP committed. Say CP puts 500k promotion prize pool, if some player concedes early and CP didn't get to promote the site enough as expected, player pays his fine say 150k and the prize pool still stays 500k, only CP now got reimbursed 150k.

I think the concerns some players that might run into (Berri-Phil Galfond): "What happens if this crypto site goes down and we have our name attached to it, would this look bad for our image/any other possible litigations?"

I don't think there's any reason to put full amounts of money directly to CP, they can just front 10%, and settle between each other the players, as that's the standard between these type of players that are very trustworthy with the money.

I really think it could happen, I am more than positive there would be enough interest from the players' side if the above questions are answered, and if CP thinks that type of promotion would be a worth while for their site.

Getting someone like Galfond would be huge for CP and this challenge would be a great incentive for him to battle. Also idk if d.apollo lurks in here but add him to the list.

We can do 2nd kiddies type of challenge 4c/5c mix HU d.apollo, EEE27, moddad, myself, Venividi, Tomson, BtnClicker. I am thinking 200/400 for kiddies game. Other people can sign up too.

Don't think Galfond would play on an unregulated site while working for a regulated us site.

Don’t you live in some 3rd world country? What would you do if someone did find you stumbling through the red-light district of some obscure Polynesian island and told you that you sucked at interviewing? You’d swing? Tell us more about your growth outside of the poker box and the wisdom that’s come from that.

‘Hashtag winning’ vibes. We get it, you have tiger blood. But remember, that blood is infected.

You’ll never be truly satisfied, Kaki. That’s your curse.

You’ll also never succeed at interviewing anyone, ever. You’re not capable of thinking outside your little box, inside your little apartment, trapped inside your little mind.

You’re stranded on an island of loneliness and tuk tuks, and there is no escape…

That’s your fate.

Seallama seems like a cool smart guy, kakitee just pretends he is, let the man talk please u just say random nonsense stuff nonstop.

in the future only put the tail end of the link in the youtube insert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUPol-yB...

in this case it would be this: ZUPol-yB-HU

Who is Sam irl? Name etc?

Do you want his adress , phone number and favorite hobbies as well ?

No need for phone number and favorite hobbies, but we as depositors deserve to know the names of the people in charge of our money. Otherwise the site has no chance of any success.

flippin heck woke up and zero hands posted, might cry :((

Where everybody at?
