Funny how things go. You can make thousands of great decisions, do everything right and work your way to the top. Then one costly gamble changes everything.
@BrahsWorld84 I know the one you’re talking about as I was sent that same list but never went so I can’t speak on it. The one I’m referring to was actually much longer ago ran by a guy who was affiliated with many other games in Hollywood
When you play in private games, you know you’re gonna pay extra. But some hosts think they can get away with almost anything. Sometimes they don’t even hide that they’re robbing you in front of your face.
I once got invited to this yacht game in LA. I show up and the “yacht” turns out to be this tiny ass boat with a fold out table that could barely fit six players.
We all started with 10k. Less than an hour goes by and everyone was somehow stuck. Their setup was so bad that there was no collection box. The dealer was just throwing everything into his tray. Took me way longer than it should have to realize how much was in there. At least I didn’t have to give my 30 min before heading out.
@MichaelMEmling Uncapped is dirty. The worst is when half the guys are dudes you play with at the casino. The rest are their own players that have a % of the drop
FYI, pretty insane value at @WSOP Paradise if you won a bracelet or made a FT this year. (Either online or live) Shipping the Super Main and getting an extra half a mil on top is not bad
Very sad…. sry to hear Ryan.
I didn’t know him well, but I know he always made everyone around him laugh. I remember once at Bellagio, he reraised this super pro & blasted away on like A-9-K-J-2, ripping the river. His opponent snaps, Jeremy tables 22. Guy almost fell out of his chair. The entire table lost it.
RIP Jeremy
@AllenKessler@AriEngelPoker Chia Yun Wu is an OG in the Taiwan poker scene. He’s a local legend, a main partner of Taipei’s main poker club, is there every single day and plays every tourney at this club for years.
They got me. I’m officially addicted….
the endless grind, the heartbreaks, the highs, the glory… all of it.
Will be my first trip to Bahamas, firing the Super Main & much more.
For all my fellow degens, what do I gotta know?
@andystackspoker is known for high-stakes cash games, but now he’s coming to Paradise to make his mark at the WSOP! 🏆🌴
From LA to Taiwan to the Bahamas, we asked Andy what would make this a successful trip for him. 👀⬇️
It’s weird reading the news about Sammy Farha, a character so many of us including myself grew up loving on High Stakes Poker.
Back in the day, we’d do a liquor store run, grab a couple of 40 oz beers, then go to my buddy’s house to play our weekly home game on his dining table.
As the night went on, we’d emptied our wallets for rebuys and get absolutely shitfaced with cigarettes in our hands doing ridiculous Sammy impressions.
One day, this older dude named Sergio joined us. Turns out he was actually Sammy’s real cousin. No bullshit. But he was the nittiest player ever, nothing like Sammy. The only thing they had in common was how he sounded talking shit.
Those all nighters were some of my best poker memories. Never thought I’d be looking back on them after all these years because of news like this.
