A bad one at that. Very unbalanced with his table talk it was pretty easy to tell when he was strong. Krish didn’t fall for his “you’re good” comment and told him to muck. That was epic.

Only saw the first couple of hours (so far), but I agree... Dwan and Ivey didn't add much to the stream in terms of action.
Ivey in particular was just an uninterested body. Dwan was not the Dwan of old

That Dylan guy was super cringe. Anyone know his background? Just some rich dude?
What's Lucky's story? Other than having 5 kids back in Chicago? His constant angling was annoying. I was really hoping to see him get stacked by Garrett.

I've seen lots of High Stakes Poker/Poker After Darks episodes that featured whale types, but never anybody with the combination of poor poker skills and lack of concern for money that we saw from Lucky. He and Berkey knew each other, and I have to think Berkey made sure the show brought him on, only to have the guy tear the place up.
Whales can still fuck you up. Just ask Ishmael.

He mentioned his name on the interview on HCL twitter page, said it was Lennar. (Lucky)
That was my favorite moment of the night.

I flew to vegas in late 2019 on a packed flight, and the guy next to me was Dylan Gang, along with his entourage in a couple other seats. He was offering every first class pax cash for their seat, to no avail. It was cringey. Cabin crew were not amused and sent him packing to sit next to me. Dressed in a matching track suit ensemble. We ended up chatting for a while. He was flying directly to vegas after a 2-day, no-sleep poker bender at an underground NYC club, and was going immediately to one of the streamed whale games at the Aria. No idea where he got his roll (definitely not a rich guy—more like a “Strong Island” or Southie type). I watched his game at the Aria, and he didn’t exactly strike me as a real pro. Might have balls of steel, but made a bunch of donk moves and was hemorrhaging chips.
Well... Profit of being Ivey is you can not to give a fuck, or two

I thought I saw on the Friday stream that he was "CEO of 345", but that doesn't check out on the web

You did see that, and no, it doesn't check out.

I took such a dislike to hearing Dylan, it really made me like Lucky a lot more than I otherwise would have.
More Dylan, Reza, Lucky, Krish, Dwan, Garret, Berky
Drop the dead weight Ivey
Entire mood at the table changed when he got up. I’ve seen other streams where just his demeanor infects the table.
Is he an ‘ok dude’ don’t know. Don’t care. Basing opinion on observation alone
Dwan made a good point about the high stakes games he plays in where you have to massive nit to play. Everyone has everything solved and plays like a robot.
The line up last night had all capable players but the action was HOT !!
Degens assemble !!

Table talk was great. Yeah some cringe. Some boring.
But that’s life at a relaxed poker table.
Stayed up till 2 am. Would never normally do that for a Holdem stream
Hustler Live need to invest in better acoustics. Like someone said earlier. The din of the main room was annoying and the commentators over talking the table talk was brutal
Other than that. Pretty good. Love the no phone policy too

If somebody had told me beforehand that Matt Berkey would be the pro who pushed the action the hardest, I would never have believed it. Dwan had a big night, but like half of it was that one hand where all the money went in pre with AKs.
And you could have told me about how hard Lucky worked Garrett over after it happened, and I would still need to see some of the hands again.

He may not have lost "the minimum," but he did a really good job keeping his cool after like a dozen brutal spots.

For a lot of cash game players their entire session comes down to one or two crucial hands in my experience that make or break it for them.

Of course. But in the past, Dwan was Mr. Action. Last night, of the pros, Berkey was the guy making stuff happen. Garrett gave lots of action, but he was just in survival mode as he tried to deal with the denial that somehow he got screwed again.
At least you are being realistic about what happened. I actually thought you played pretty well Friday and even better Saturday until the end even though your +- was better on Friday. To me it proves the work is paying off. Just got to avoid the lapses here and there...that's why Garrett etc are pro's...they minimize the lapses. Garrett lost the most money Saturday...but he avoided losing a lot more IMO. He was put in tough spot after tough spot...but even he would admit some mistakes I'm sure. Even "Lucky" guys get a hand sometimes.

I’m jealous of luckys table talk skills. I wish I could incorporate that into my game. If balanced, seems like it complements a linear river range
Putting it on my 2022 goal list

His grift involved telling women he was a neurosurgeon(!)
Tough to imagine people buying that. He strikes me as unusually dumb. Maybe it's all an act, though, and he's actually a brilliant sociopath like in the movies.
Sounds like a nice guy.
I’ve seen Dwan play a few times in the past year or so, and he’s definitely not playing the same, seemingly crazy big balls game he used to play. It’s possible he’s just getting older, but I think it’s more likely that those tactics just plain worked better
I'm sure he'd adopt that style in a spot where it works, but not in this lineup. Just look at how different Garrett had to play.
