I guess is anything major going to change on the front end, like what games are going to stream or the marketing or video production/editing or branding, etc or is it mostly back end stuff?

well, commerce isn't like hustler. commerce would never do things like bounties or side games etc etc. on stream because they are a grey area violation of their gaming license and they take no chances. commerce also wont just have on pseudo-criminals showing up with random millions of dollars. commerce has an extensive vetting process for players that throws a lot of the applicants out. commerce also doesnt want any controversy or hi jinx on stream. for these reasons among others commerce games will always be sort of slow and boring just like commerce management. There is a new team at the stream but unless management loosens the reigns i dont see how much would change. the whole thing is VERY poorly managed and utilized by any objective measure.


How can I learn which games are Advantage Play games?

How can I learn which games are Advantage Play games?

hang out with sharp pit degenerates. sounds like an oxymoron but some massive pit losers are actually super sharp and perceptive. they just have a gambling problem. these people lose their whole life playing baccarat and then discover they can edge sort or whatever. its almost never an egghead who finds this stuff because they are never in the pits. that said, the casinos are so sharp and fast now getting and sharing information its basically a waste of time.

Thanks- didn’t know what the new team meant for the stream. Like, if it was higher management level meaning possibly actually trying to make big changes and have a different vision.

likely no insects but several non-insect arachnids.


did a really fun interview, the guy tried to bleep me but gave up halfway through.

did a really fun interview, the guy tried to bleep me but gave up halfway through.

super repetitive and could have been condensed but overall very well stated - especially in regards to cash games keeping the money in circulation

there's nothing worse than sitting at a 1-3 or 2-5 table where half the guys are with backpacks and headphones - even if they suck at the game, it's just a terrible experience


I retried grinding.

How can this situation be so boring?


Ok: now the definite question:
You say you are worth 6.5m.

What of that is actually due to hard work aka grinding?
What of that is due to luck aka: crypto shot up?
What of that is due to smart investing?

well, i wouldn't have been in a position to make the financial, crypto and real estate investments that "shot up" if i hadn't first "grinded". soooo, i dunno. There was definitely a lot of luck involved in the crypto windfall, putting money into a "coin" you know is a complete scam in the hopes of making money on the backs of "bigger fools" is risky risky business.

obv, but it (slowly) dried up a lot after cash was removed form the tables. when you could put cash on the tables it was criminals as far as the eye could see and the games were FFFFFFFing awesome. Mexican poker was the biggest game in casino when i first went to hollywood park, just MASSIVE stacks of cash giant gold belt buckles and cowboy hats.


Hey Limon, recently started listening to a variety of podcasts you have done over the years on YouTube. Also, watched a bunch of old clips on the PokerSesh Design channel too. You are a funny guy with a real library full of useful knowledge.

Is there anywhere on the internet that contains a complete archive of all the previous PokerSesh catalog ? I can only find a couple full length episodes on YT.

Nah, when I sold Latb I sold all that content to the new owners. Then they sold it to ballys and ballys has basically lost or deleted all that old content afaik. Lot of mismanagement of all the classic LATB content.


The words Ballys and mismanagement seem to go together often.

That sounds a bit sketchy to me.


Can you recommend a pay per head software (i. e. one that has no potential loopholes in it's lines or so)?

no.


what's the most egregious angle shoot you've ever seen at a live game?


If some cardroom or casino not in the LA area started a livestreamed game, what would they have to do to get you to do commentary on it? Assume you could do it over the Internet rather than from a booth on-site.
