Trump Economy and Poker

About six years ago I put up a post pointing out that the good Trump economy was probably very good for the poker games

Loving this plunge!


PLUNGEEEEEEEE


by campfirewest m

S&P at an all time high and oil prices plunging. Obviously this will be terrible for the poker economy because I’m not sure why. I’m just angry because I hate Trump and also because Mason turned down my book proposal back in 2009.

Once again, a special shout-out to this guy

So so so close to that sweet poker boom


BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM

I feel like you are making this observation approximately a decade too late.

This is why I am still a coroporate drone and not an entrepreneur.


Looks like trump’s utopian poker economy claimed spirit airlines

Nothing says affordability is coming like bankrupting the budget airplane cuz fuel is too expensive now

PLUNGEEEEEEEEEE

You do realize Spirit has been struggling for a number of years and filed bankruptcy prior to Trump being elected? Or let me guess you saw some salacious headline about fuel costs and ran over here given your TDS.


This thread was predicated on Trump somehow being good for poker because he’s good for the overall economy even though no economic numbers or trends from his first term made that argument even pre covid incompetence. Of course it’s within the spirit of the thread to blame him for anything that happens in his term given he was getting for stuff that didn’t even happen.


Let me get this straight

In a thread OP’d by an old ass boomer claiming without an ounce of evidence trump’s economy is going to be a massive windfall, the last couple hundred posts have been about what a catastrophic ****up tariffs and the iran β€˜excursion’ have been to the idea of affordability with post after post after post about the meteoric rise in oil, gas and inflation at large, you sat there waiting for the right moment to strike and defend your godking with β€˜LOL TDS GOTCHA TDS TDS TDS’ when I made a random musing about spirit airlines?

You're just spewing out random wrong info due to mental health issues/extreme TDS - feel bad for you, maybe take a step back from 2p2 for a little. Anyways let's talk factual data

1.Spirit filed BK in 2024 and was torching money post COVID - had nothing to do with Trump
2.Inflation is actually very low YTD - it was insanely high in 2022 under Biden along with the stock market having its biggest lost since 2008
3.Average gas is still under what it was in 2022 during Biden's Presidency
4.Even with everything that Trump is doing the stock market is up ahead of expectation and is expected to beat its 30 year average

Those are facts - I know you hate Trump and literally talk about him everyday on here but that's the reality.

Yeh I think you're right. Just looked up their profits and they've been torching money since 2020.


Sounds like this guy has BDS.


Not healthy for sure

BTW the only one who has TDS is Trump. There I said it.

Nah I would say your typical MAGA chud is ****ing deranged

If you just deny reality cuz it’s more convenient to just say words in defiance of it and create your own false version of how the world is working and why cuz you read it on truth social, heard it on Fox News, or just feel you’re right and every other fact is wrong, you’re pretty f’n deranged

There’s something wrong with you

Seriously

Get help


To be clear, I don’t hate Trump. I certainly don’t like him, but nothing about him or what he’s unleashed on the world is a shock to anyone who has even a modicum of intelligence. You can’t hate someone for doing exactly what you expected and the results being exactly what you expected. I almost respect that level of consistency

I certainly hate you, and ElMongo the rapist, and campfire, and OP, however, who smugly post your absolutely moronic tripe that has zero basis in reality when it’s convenient for you to do so and being such pussies that you’ll own your words when it backfires on you and you’ll sit and wait for ‘lol spirit airlines?!TDS TDS TDS’ or ‘STOCKS GO WEEEEEEE OBV EVERYONE RICH TDS TDS TDS!’ You clamored for this dystopia, voted for this dystopia, and take zero responsibility for your role in this and insist BUHBUHBUHBIDENNNNNN to justify yourselves, and insist on your intellectually dishonest horseshit either because you get off on trolling, you’re too ****ing stupid to see your ass versus a hole in the ground or some combination of the two

I’ve said it multiple times in this forum, I’m fine and I’m gonna continue to be fine, but it may surprise parasites like you that I don’t root for my own success at the price of others’ rising misery

I’m sure you’ll claim I’m just mad. I’m not. I can completely despise a person without having an ounce of anger and it speaks more to you than to me you would think being able to actually say words in English must mean LOLOLOLOLOL YOU MAD! I’m just calling you bozos out for being human garbage without a single redeeming trait to you, that’s all

You're just spewing emotion here - it's like my 6 year old when they get angry. All I did was list factual information and your response is an emotional tirade with no valid argument. The funniest part is I think Trump himself is a POS as well as most politicians yet because I didn't call him an orange bag of **** he's my God lol. I don't get too involved in these arguments as they're pointless and a major waste of time but can't help myself sometimes.


Spirit Airlines going tits up is good for the poker economy because customers will sit around at home playing poker instead of travalling, obv.


^Same for high gas prizes! πŸ˜€

Are k-shaped economies good for poker?

All I did was list factual information[...]

You made accusations about mental health and disregarded the post you responded to as "TDS". Those are at best opinions, but I suspect they're not even that.

SRM's posts are certainly tirades, but they're no worse than the litanies and whining of the current US president, which he spends most of his waking hours flinging at the world. And unfortunately, he IS the US president, so his words matter regardless of how stupid they are. Which is the most galling part of his presidency.

So both sides are bad and you don't get involved, yet you have a clear preference and you are participating in the debate.

I can see how that is convenient. Unfortunately, this is politics, not a double-slit experiment.

Well, they allow us to feel good about losing.


There are less high rollers running this year and less players at all the high rollers I’ve been to. Pokergo would have two big plo series a year and replaced it with a mid stakes series and hasn’t released a summer schedule four weeks away from wsop (they’ve had high rollers over summer for well over a decade I think)

Mason making a killing at live limit hold em or is the rake too high?

Can’t imagine being a small stakes player in us. Imagine going to a tournament to pay 20% rake with fuel / flight costs where they are on top of any other expenses BEFORE tax. Buy in levels that can produce literally no long term winners

Typing this from my very last minute booked €100 flight from Nice to London after a week of low raked tournaments at EPT

It’s a yes or no question. I’m sure Mason will enlighten us as to the correct answer.
