Bwah ha ha, fucking cuban gets it in preflop with :jd::9d::4c::3c: 3-ways for $1500 and beats :ah::ad::kh::2c: and :qs::ts::td::8c: when they go once, flop JJ3....Q..9 and the 9 gives one a straight, one a flush and boats him lol

Actually he flopped a boat and rivered a better boat.

He knew it was coming.

Lol, maniac with :kc::7d::6c::2h: called an all-in from the tightest player in the game on the following board

:3s::6d::7s::jh:

And drills the :7c: river lol

What did the nit have? 45?

How did it play preflop? Stack sizes? What was the betting like on the flop? Turn? SPR?

It appears like these players have no care about hand selection.

Damn, this thread has me itching to play. Not likely that any casinos around me will open before 2021. This pandemic really really sucks.

Appreciate this thread, can at least live vicariously through your experience.

Sorry it's been a crazy day, maybe he didn't flop the 3, I know he didn't fill up until the river

Nit didn't show because maniac flipped over his boat. Had OMC muttering to himself

Was crazy to sit in this game looking at the crazy colluding cuban sitting on 6k in chips (max buyin is 1k) while I'm losing

At least I lost my chips to some of the other maniacs. Was almost down 2k on the day but fought back a little to lose $1,385

The cubans just run so well playing like absolute garbage, they've been getting it in bad for weeks and winning

But at least this just reinforces their shitty play, it will catch up to them, but in the short term they are running well
 
Anthony, regarding your signature. Looks like you may be on a downswing due to bad variance. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your bankroll, however, I will gladly send you some bubblegum if you PM me your address.

What is your favorite flavor?

Lol. Well, this time around my losing hands were more bad luck than bad play by my opponents. I can't fault my opponent in either hand for the way it went down. In one he had the top wrap draw on the flop, despite being a 4:1 dog at that juncture. And in the other, it was a cooler that I flop the open-ender on a rainbow board, turn trips and run into middle set that filled up.

So it wasn't like my opponents were in hands they "shouldn't" have been. Felt worse for the guys losing to the J943 double s00ted than anything. That was just so gross.

Anyway, back to your question, I'm a Watermelon flavor gum fan, although Grape and Strawberry are good too.
 
alright, here's another clip that's private, so can only view it with the link. Been finally getting around to merging my gameplay clips with clips of me "playing" and had some fun with this one, make sure to select the highest quality viewing for better footage.

But here's a quick glance at me "in action", as always, feedback and criticism welcomed!

Oh that's fu**ing gold. Was waiting what the C was for.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing more.

This... this is entertainment potential in spades. I hope this takes off for you!

This is gold. I can't wait to subscribe.
 
As someone who used to write a lot of comical reviews, I quickly learned that my in a fairly short time I had exhausted my "A" material, and was soon drawing upon "B" material. By the 3rd year, I wrote less and less, because I just couldn't maintain enough fresh energy. Occasionally I would stumble upon a gem, but I learned to understand why "high frequency" comedians (comedy news, late night talk, skit shows, etc.) maintain a team of comedy writers. It's a lot of fun, until it becomes work.

Now I stick to trip reports. It helps to maintain a level of spontaneity, a key factor to enjoying my own work. Even then I think my trip reports kinda trail off by the end, but a week of free alcohol and Vegas may be a factor.

Hopefully, you have enough to keep you going. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks! I think with the election on the horizon it's a great time to launch this thing, and should have plenty of relevent humor to rip from the headlines

Eventually I hope to do live streams of this, which will take some improvisation to make it work, but hoping I can keep it fresh

I know some of the bigger streamers out there have teams of people to help them with a variety of things, tech, business deals and sponsorships, etc. I'm sure I'd probably need bit idea help as well

Are you trying to stick to FPS content like COD or a variety of gaming?
Click to expand...

I play a wide variety of games and already have some fun ideas for videos with other non-FPS games that I think will mesh well for this style of satire. However, if this eventually transitions to streaming, FPS will most likely mesh the best for that format, although I'd likely include some other game styles from time to time (RTS, RPG, etc)
 
The amount of views that highly racist or ignorant streamers get is mind boggling. It's mostly views just for the cringe, and the users quickly find themselves banned. It's not so much viral, as it is they're regularly sought after and shared. Streams tend to die out from them having to create new ones so often, but the Youtube and other media plays can get quite high.

I would think that something like this caters to that cringe factor, while also maintaining the entertainment of it all. I would think that you'd have a shot (small as it is) at possibly making this work and monetizing it one day.

The amount of pre work that would have to go into your streaming though at some point would be quite a bit of work. No different than comedians and entertainers working on and refining their content. Unless you're amazing on the spot, or could possibly hone in to this character extremely well and just naturally plug and play as "him" for hours.

Either way, it's fantastic. Don't forget us little people when you're at the top Duo'ing with Dr. DisRespect. (I'd enjoy watching that too)

I've always enjoyed making people laugh and generally have a fairly quick wit, so think I have a shot at making it work, even live and on stream. I think people get a kick out of Dr Disprespect raging so hard at situations, he certainly plays the WWE-style character well.

If you are intent on playing a character and enjoy satire/improvisation, there is a Twitch/streaming category for GTA-V Roleplay that is extremely popular. I just checked and it is currently the third most viewed game/category at this moment with ~217k viewers. People quite literally create made-up characters and go around the city interacting with others; there are specific jobs, roles, etc. Probably extremely hard to get into the more popular communities there, but figured I would mention it if you want to check it out and since it seems up your alley. Feel free to DM me with questions if you prefer not to discuss this kind of stuff in your pro poker thread!

GTA is for console peasants, I am PC Master Race good sir, how dare you make such an assumption! I demand satisfaction!

Oh shit, I have a Wii U and love me some Mario Kart 8 though, my bad. I enjoyed some of the older GTA games back in the day when I had a console, going back to the 90's probably. Never found it that great on PC though, controls just felt wonky for me.

What I am referring to is all on PC with custom servers. It is more popular than any game right now besides Fall Guys, Call of Duty, and sometimes Fortnite, and has been for the past year or so. Summit1G and other big names frequent the specific server. It is hard to explain exactly what it is, but if you have free time, check out people on Twitch with "NoPixel" in their streaming title. These people are making tons of cash in this category.

Thanks, I'll check into it, although at the end of the day I will focus on things I have a passion for to ensure that I not only enjoy it but can produce engaging content on a regular basis. I don't want to do something just because there's money in it (although I'd monetize my sleep if I could)
 
Are you ever the guy that shows up and others say “this game just got a lot worse, peace out”?

In terms of GTA, I am probably the best Buzzard pilot on PS4. At last check, I think I have over 600 hours flying the Buzzard in the game. Awesome helicopter.

People don't get up and leave the game because I sat down, but I'm definetly not the preferred player to be taking a seat. I know I wouldn't want me at my table

I flew chopper in the Battlefield games, but was only passable at it, nothing amazing
 
I will say this. I'm working on my video right now and a proper musical score can make or break it, my god am I having some fun with this!
 
I'm old(er) and I don't understand why people watch videos of people playing video games. I would never watch your videos, but it is the content not necessarily you. I I didn't find it funny either. Then again I'm sure 52 year old men are not your target demographic.

Gosh now I feel kind of Pltyrgstish. But you did ask!
