@MattGlantz Really great post @MattGlantz : I am lucky to have found an amazing woman who supports this lifestyle ( I did not even really look until my father got sick and I was like 35. But this is excellent for younger aspiring poker players to hear. I hope they actually listen.

Little tired after 5 long Tournament days @BorgataPoker ( 4 FT ) in @AllenKessler Chainsaw Mixed Series. So today I took a couple hours to relax before late registration. Worked out well, as I have 105k at dinner break on one bullet.

@CommerceCasino What a cool schedule, a multi day HORSE event, sign me up 😍😍#yearofthehorse

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

I had my first adversity @BorgataPoker after 3 straight Final Tables. Had to rebuy in Big/O. But got really hot last hour before dinner break, with TWO double knockouts. Now on 347k and in 1st on the @AllenKessler Chainsaw Mixed Leaderboard over @TrybaPoker

Then he cracked my Ah2h6h that missed flush draw and lost. Then the pain: 8488 vs 3 flush and 3 low on 4th and I lost. Congrats to him on a well earned victory. I am satisfied with the effort, and back to back top finishes is great @AllenKessler Chainsaw Mix @BorgataPoker

The happy and sad of poker: I was a midstack with 8 left, and deftly worked my way to heads up. He was a good player, but I clearly had more experience and skill heads up. I would say I win 40-50% with a 5-1 chip deficit. battled across 3-4 levels and I had doubled @BorgataPoker

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

A nice combination today @BorgataPoker : Been playing well and getting good cards ( or better stated my opponents have not had much ). On 245k with 17 left playing 9, @AllenKessler Chainsaw Mixed Stud/8. Average stack is 152k

@nickhowardpoker This cannot and should not be accepted by the poker community

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

@ToddWitteles @nickhowardpoker I agree totally with this. This is just the casino trying to take more money off the table, and using excuses to charge WAY more than the service they are providing is worth. Yes we should all cater to good customers, but the current trends for poker pros is disturbing to me

[Todd Witteles @ToddWitteles]

As a longtime player at middle and upper stakes, I call complete bullshit on this.

Until recently, rake did not scale directly to blinds or average pot size. The rake at high stakes games was always negligible compared to the money changing hands, and for good reason. It is not much more expensive to put on such games compared to lower stakes.

In the last few years, some very predatory online operators have been charging insanely high rake at upper stakes, and I've called this out. Keep in mind that in the 2000s, the rake at nosebleeds online was often as low as $0.50, and never above $5.

But this wasn't happening live. For the most part, live rake is still very reasonable at upper stakes.

Your game rake is about 8x the highest casino-based competitor. You can rant on and on about "data analysis" and other nonsense, but at the end of the day, you are being greedy and predatory, and people should boycott your game.

2000-word AI-generated essays do not change the basic facts. You are charging $3200 per hour for a live poker game, and nobody sane should play it.

Back at it for @AllenKessler Chainsaw Mixed @BorgataPoker : Last night was a tough but fun one, off a redeye flight and 3 hours sleep I grinded a short stack all day and finally chopped the tournament about 3 am. Today a superb start to Stud/8, scooping a few pots and over 75k.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

@TeaganTeal @ambron13 @FanDuel @FanDuel_Support @FanDuelSports This whole 3% is such a bait and switch scam. They should lose market share over it
