Rampage Backs out of Million Dollar Game (1 Viewer)

You mean Rampunt begging for money on YouTube didn’t work out? Aw shucks.
This makes me happy. I wish him the best and think he's charismatic but it was irresponsible to ask for his fans to pay his way.
My favorite game was Hellmuth mixed in with a bunch of YouTube streamers and influencers a couple years back. Give me a whole week of Mr. Beast and the most obnoxious 20somethings that have no concept of money sucking out on Hellmuth for a week and I'd watch that.

I mean how tone deaf can you get?
The guy is playing at stakes most of us can only dream of, makes a vlog while he's on a three week 'vacation' in Australia casually asking youtube subscribers to 'fade him' 10,000 USD or 1,000 USD.
The guy comes across as a complete and total clown world who has main character syndrome.

I thought everybody thought rampage was a clown. I’ve probably seen him on some streams, but I’ve never paid any attention to him. So what I know of him is mostly his headlines which have ranged from bad to very bad.
And I remember when he started getting famous (you know, after he won a bracelet in a $500 event on a laptop in a parking lot in New Jersey) the local rumblings were that he was a donk who got lucky. Has he changed that reputation in his professional caree?
I thought the laptop winner was the guy that says PARKOUR.
Just to play devils advocate, I think rampage probably never thought he’d play these high stakes when he first started. And with his success came new challenges like greed and fame. He also got scammed for a good chunk of money, so perhaps that experience jaded his perception of reality.
Iono. I don’t know the guy and his behavior has seem to become more and more unrelatable. Because of this, I haven’t been watching as much, but hopefully he’s able to figure things out.
I think his play style is interesting and aggressive. Problem is now everyone knows that’s how he plays and have responded accordingly. He hasn’t changed his tune. The only other players who have that kind of play style at least on the commonly watched streams today are billionaires or people with very large passive incomes. If poker is Rampunt’s primary source of income I don’t know that his get lucky play style will be viable.
I don’t think the problem here is staking or not. It seems to be his lack of stake interest. Maybe his backers have moved on after repeated negative ROI.
Stake Xuan Liu instead

Hmm This was Ryan DePaulo, I think, who is more along the likes of 'F@#$ your mother' type stuff.
Wrote way too much, GL Rampage

Ryan DePaulo came 3rd in the Colussus and won a bracelet from a burger king parking lot and plays $500 tourneys to this day.
Rampage binked a 25k with illegal rake money and has gone on to give millions back as a negative ROI player who has too much ego to play to his skill level.
The fact that he's broke despite multiple huge income streams speaks to his total disregard for bankroll management. The estimate was at one point he was making 10k a day with splash squad rake and he showed 800k of youtube revenue in 2022. Now he's broke and has his hand out instead of slumming it back to sub 5k tournaments where he's a winner.

I enjoy watching Rampage play, especially recently - it’s a good education in finding a balance between aggression and knowing when to fold. Sometimes you just have to let it go - something he seems to be struggling with.
I do note that his lifetime tournament earning are 2.5 mil but 900k of that came from one event. He has 130+ cashes in tourneys since 2020 so he’s not useless… maybe he should avoid the nosebleed cash scene?

He is certainly a much more competent tournament player.
Listening to his hand breakdowns of cash recently, it really seems like half the time his commentary is just him trying to justify a horrible decision over and over. There are so many hands were he takes an insane line against an uncapped player who snaps him off with basically the nuts.
I doubt he really does much studying or true analysis of his play anymore and just goes to gamble. Which is totally fine, but why the fuck would you try to get staked to play a $1M buy-in when you are the fish.
I played with him once in a tournament and he was a total grump and in a bad spot mentally. Last year sometime. Maybe in the fall.

To be fair to him, he doesn't seem to be bad in mid-stakes tourneys. He could just grind those, vlog on the side and make a killing but seems hellbent on going broke.
I guess once you get a taste of the big time, it's hard to go back.

I deleted my rant, but YES. YES YES YES.

He went over in a recent video that he’s a losing player above 5k BIs and he doesn’t really play sub 5k anymore.
There’s also a little more than meets the eye here. He’s definitely a better tournament than cash game player, but he’s a serial rebuyer and he’s put in more than he’s taken out.
The PCA 25k, for example, is a 88k cash for him on Hendon Mob. What Hendon Mob doesn’t show though is that he fired 4 25k bullets for that 88k cash. So it’s a $12,000 loss in actuality.
The fact is that anyone who plays dozens of high rollers every year will end up with millions on Hendon even if they’re a huge loser.

Spot on!
There was a recent Daniel Negreanu vlog where he cashed for $2m but it was actually a losing year for him. Cashes do not equal profit!
