Taiwanese Poker is gaining popularity in Las Vegas, a successful session after an amputation, Jonathan Little “won” $10 million and other short poker news.
"Also, I am willing to play Ossi Ketola heads up at nosebleed stakes at the Lodge," Doug proposed.
“We can play a single match for your net worth + any possible possessions with emotional value,” Ketola set out counter-conditions. “Pure rawdogging with no phones present.”
Why are you willing to play for 100x jungle’s net worth but only 1x mine? Polk asked.
Option A: We play for $500,000 and I have 100% of myself
Option B: We play whatever stakes you want and I'm sure people will buy action
We might not even have $20,000,000 in chips at The Lodge but if you want to come down and break our bank I'll see you here in the Lonestar state.
"Maybe we can find some reasonable solution with the handicap," Ketola replied. "I plan on doing a few more of these matches in the future. But I'm not interested in playing against your backers. My goal is to cause pain."
“You, bro, might want to leave this penis-measuring competition early,” Timofey Kuznetsov advised Polk.
– You so sure about that? – Jungleman also turned to Doug. – Why are you taking a shot at me?
If I hadn't had all my crypto stolen or get paid by people a reputable billionaire told me to trust I'd probably have > net worth than you
Well I knew Doug when I was actually worth 1000x what he was and never talked down to him.
They do say a bit of power corrupts.
When asked numerous times what happened to his crypto, Cates responded that this topic deserves a separate video.
– "Had some pretty legit/honest people tell me I was shooting from the hip with this one on Ossi. By no means a "go deposit on his site" level endorsement, but at least he has a credible backstory, substantial history playing for high stakes, pays when he loses etc."
“Yes, can be confirmed.,” confirmed Kayhan Mokri, one of the regular participants in heads-ups with Ketola.
Players continue to share memorable stories from their poker lives.
– When I decided to amputate the arm, I didn’t tell anybody at my regular game, – a player with the nickname Lefty (@AllorNubbin) began his exciting story . – It was an outpatient procedure that took about an hour. I played the night before (arm still in tow) then showed up the next night minus a limb and won $1.6k (1/2 game). They were distracted I guess🤷🏻♂️
“Amazing. Had no idea it was a quick procedure like that,” Adam Levy was surprised.
– Nah, I know there are a lot of scum in poker but listening to some brainrot videos with no headphones at the table gotta be the worst kind of people.
– This one guy used to bring ~500$ in 50$ scratch offs and do them at the table. He’d have a pile of shavings on the the table by the end lol
– No different then the grime on the table at cherokee. At least he was gambling 😌
Matt Savage reminded that any careless phrase during the game can cost you dearly:
– Warning: If you say official poker terms when action is on you or even when action is not on you then you can be held to that action so don’t say things like “I should call,” “ I think I have to fold,” etc or you can be forced to do so.
“I can’t wait to find out if my opponent raised and instead I’m forced to three-bet the river,” Chris Brewer said, not appreciating the severity of the law.
Matt reassured him:
– 1. You are unlikely to do this, since you are following the game closely.
2. At your limits, opponents will not call floor in such a situation.
3. Any competent floor manager will easily recognize if this was done for the purpose of angle shooting and only then will he make a strict decision.
4. This rule is usually used when the words "call" or "fold" are spoken.
It’s the same one hedge funds use to train billion-dollar hedge traders.
Here are 5 poker concepts that will make you a better trader and investor:
This phrase caused a lively discussion.
According to Hendonmob, this is approximately how much Jonathan has earned in his entire career, without taking into account buy-ins.
– Won $10 Million. Deceptive., – one of the commentators is surprised, – How much paid in entry fees, hotel rooms, plane tics. What did you claim as expenses on tax returns? Hendon shows $9.4 million since 2006, so about 500k/year gross. Net? Then minus US&NY taxes. And you’re elite. One of the best. Get rep; sells coaching.
In the comments, many came to Little's defense.
– Very funny thread, – wrote Matt Berkey. – It turns out that for many people, winning ≠ profit. If we follow this logic, then I must have won more than a BILLION in 22 years of professional play😐
I guess it's because of this common misconception that the government thinks it's okay for players to only write off 90% of their losses?!?
Jonathan himself wrote in his defense that the word "winnings" is often used in poker to refer to prize money without taking into account expenses: "This has long been the industry standard, everyone has been saying it for decades."
"Seriously, have you ever been in the black in tournaments in your entire career?" Shaun Deeb asked.
“Yes,” Little answered briefly.
– And you? – the commentators asked Dib?
– At the beginning of my offline career I wasn’t, but with the latest results I’ve secured myself a reserve for some time.
“With the kind of run Jonathan had in 2007-2008, anyone would be in the black for their career unless they were a regular super high roller,” Sam Greenwood assured all the skeptics.
During that period, Little won two WPT events and lost another heads-up, which is three of the best results of his career.
There’s 2 boards, so 14 units total and it’s 3 handed, so 42pts available. How do you set this hand?
"Is it multiway 3-6 handed or heads up? But the correct answer is K up top AA middle 1010J4 back," suggested Len Ashby.
Grokk , an artificial intelligence integrated into Twitter, agreed with this option .
The game is rapidly gaining popularity.
– I bought $35,000, played Taiwanese Poker for 12 hours. How much did I win? – Jesse Lonis asked readers.
MrBeast posted a poll on Twitter: "If I offered you $1,000,000 but you only keep it if the first person you call answers, who would you call?"
– The easiest money in life! – Josh Arieh rejoiced. – I'll call my dad! He always supports me and answers right away. No matter what happens! I also know very well who I definitely won't call. My damn kids. They'll hang up and send me a text back saying "hi."
In another post, Josh recalled the times when he could only dream of millions:
– Recently read a post from someone, complaining how expensive traveling for poker is (he deleted it since), and it really has me reminiscing about my early days.
One thing I did on virtually every trip….check bags at bell desk, Play all night the first night, to save 1 nights hotel fee. I was young and full of energy. I had the “I’ll sleep when I die” mentality. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, I just thought I was cheating the system 🤷
Another ritual I had was to leave $60 in my car, so I had gas/food money to get home.
When I tilted, I TILTED! Everything on me was always in play.
One time I was so tilted, I walked to the car, got the $60, bought into a $1-2 game. Unfortunately it didn’t end well and I borrowed $40 from someone to get home :(
