I'm so happy
The closest comparison I can draw for Rampage is Jamie Gold, on a bit smaller scale. The guy arguably has some skills. Got lucky to win the biggest (wsop) tournament of his life and thought he was on top of the world. Remember seeing Jamie quickly jumped onto high stake pokers playing for millions with guys like Ivey, Negreanu and Doyle Brunson where he punted off his fortune? Where is Jamie Gold now? Last I saw him playing 5-10 at the Commerce. Rampage will likely follow suit.
What happens with Rampage is that he has only played poker for around a couple of years now and runs insanely well. I believe he is a good player, with no hate against the guy, but he is inexperienced in variance. Poker sometimes is a tricky game. Maybe you're playing terribly and end up winning a tournament or two. The game makes you think you are great, but in reality, you just won multiple flips in a tournament, and boom, you win. He is playing too high. Those nosebleed stakes are terrible for the bankroll, no matter how good you're. He played a very maniacal style; eventually, he would get hit. I hope he came back. He is talented and will be successful with hard work and dedication.
Not true. Good players are consistently profitable at nosebleed stakes.
His play against the 84 hand was very good. A guy calling 84 in that spot is calling with 85 87 98 57 97 A9 etc. He folds all those hands so it was a plus EV play. It just so happened he was against 84.
@@samuelliberman6277is Andy a good high stakes player?
He has never proven to be anything other than a Lucky Player.....
He's absolutely burning cash now. A 1-trick pony that will be "Chasing the Dragon" of lucky million dollar highs for years to come...
Gambling addiction is a chemical reaction that Rampage Poker and Corey Eyring both seem to suffer from where betting feels just as good as actually winning. It can be very dangerous for gambling addicts if they are not aware of their condition and are not actively suppressing it when they play, especially if they are playing above their bankroll.
Totally agree, especially with Corey.
That's why guys like me win. I hope they keep playing that way
Watching Corey try to reframe his gambling problem as YOLO-go4it vibes is legitimately sad. I hope he wakes up before doing too much damage to himself
@@pugsnhogz its sad because corey is really talented at making videos. damn funny and seems like a good kid. unfortunately it also looks like hes becoming a degenerate gambler.
@@lucashood9265 that's like saying "I run a liquor store, I hope all these alcoholics keep drinking themselves near to death" pretty grim to say proudly out loud.
He is really entertaining to watch play, but Rampage's words sound like someone gripped by addiction.
Standard gambler with rungood.
He certainly loves Baccart, he's probably betting on golf too like other players like Negreanu.
Yep. When I start to sound like that I take a break. Makes the game worse
Agree, and it makes one wonder how many "professional poker players" are actually that, and how many are just gambling addicts.
That’s because he is.
he ran multiple standard deviations above EV during his rapid ascent from 1/2 to HCL within like 2 years ... his downswing is only beginning if he is to return to EV
He’s clearly a good player but he has to learn how to deal with the bad side of variance because that ultimately is what makes or breaks a player. But this guy would crush lower level stakes and if he learns how to deal with tilt he could win at these levels as well.
What streams are you watching where you say he's clearly a good player? He is a punter. He's been a hunter his whole career. He's done better at tournaments because he can lay reg and go super high variance and he's won several off of the sheer volume of how many he has entered. And he has had some big nights on HCL stream. But that doesn't make him a good player. If I had a dollar every time I heard him say something along the lines of "I'm here to gamble" and then a call with some weak ass cards I would have enough money to play on these streams. He has no patience he has no discipline. He's just not a good poker player. I don't think he would actually crush the lower Stakes
He is an extremely extremely poor and undisciplined player compared to the stakes he plays or anything above 5/5 really and I say this as a fan of him and someone who thinks his content is great and that he seems as an amazing, honest and down to earth guy. But he is playing not SOMEWHAT above but WAY ABOVE the stakes as compared to his thinking of the game, that is just a fact and again sorry but you can see from all these clips its not really a run bad but punting.@@ryanhughes1101
Well stated.
whats sick is that he isnt even getting cold decked, just making awful decisions
compound bad play on top of cooler after cooler and thats how you go broke
Rampage's problem is that he developed a bad habit early on and that's not giving up on pots and thinking everyone is scared to gamble. He punts off huge money and when it was smaller stakes it worked cause business people, vacationers, rich kids and others play scared. They couldn't stomach losing $5k on a single hand and didn't have enough game knowledge to know if the huge river bet/jam makes sense or not so they'd often fold the better hand. You go back and watch his lower stakes blogs he got a lot of players to fold to a big river bet and he thinks that works against high stakes players and it just doesn't. Now he's playing against people with as much or more game knowledge than him, have way more money and aren't scared to gamble it. It makes the "put him to the test" stuff a lot less likely to work. He had a period where he did well at those stakes and seemed to get away from those bad habits but now it's back in full force and he's just not going to succeed at the high stakes if he doesn't completely fix that part of his game.
💯
You could put all of Rampage's assets in a pile, and there'd be guys on those streams who have three or four more ZEROES, just in their poker bankroll, and they're not afraid to lose it. You're not going to bluff them off a pot more than once.
@@gregoryschmidt1233 Exactly. These aren't vacationers, businessmen, sons of millionaires and the other kinds of people Rampage was used to bluffing against that would almost always fold. They had very little game knowledge to know when a bluff does or doesn't make sense and those kinds of people were scared to lose $5k to a bad call so they'd just auto-fold. Rampage still has that terrible habit and it doesn't work whatsoever against these high stakes guys.
Keep positive Rampage,you're living the dream,enjoy the ride ,there will be ups and downs, hopefully more ups .
Good luck!
Remember this kids, the best cash game players in the world win around 60% of the time. You just cant beat variance.

Greg is right. I fucking hate when someone announces a hand they don't have. If you're friends and do it while showing that's fine, but they didn't know Greg and he might have mucked his hand there.
yep
Not on Rampage if Greg mucks his own hand. Poker is about self accountability
@@Copypastedates this is a bad take
stay at 1/2 buddy@@Copypastedates
Rampage would of gave him the pot. Greg takes forever to act on every single hand and is a horrible player
First of all the hand he was supposedly bluffing against the chunky lawyer type was him misreading his hand, go back and look at his face. Second, rampage got to move up so rapidly because youtube and merch sales allowed it, then he got lucky, he barely has 1 3 skills. And like airball, mass TV appearances give actual good players the reads they need to shred him.
Absolutely not. If you understand anything about ranges and can project out the type of hands the lawyer has there in that spot it was a super EV play. If he took that long to fold 84 he’s probably even folding A9 which makes it even a better play.
Lol. Rampage would crush most rooms 5/10 and I say that as someone who plays those stakes regularly.
@@nicholas7525 Dude is playing over 40 vpip, so I don't think he can beat 2NL online. Why do you think he would be a winning player at 5/10?
@@yoniker83Live game can be very soft and easy so I don’t doubt he can beat mid stake games. But put him with a table of decent reg not sure he would be profitable. And don’t think he can beat 50nl online.
@@yoniker83 I can say Rampage is enough to beat at least 50NL online, being a 100NL online winner myself.
I went through this couple months ago. I kept winning at $1/3. Running hot making +$300 each 7/10 sessions... I started to "tilt win" I was playing EVERY shit hand possible, bluffing and getting called, calling bad all-ins. Giving back all profit earned. I almost forgot about pre-flop ranges and sticking to solid poker.... It felt horrible, I had to change my strategy and remember to be humble in poker, variance will get you.
comparing your 1/3 game to the games Rampage plays is like comparing apples to orangutans
@@mattingly234ever you can play bad in any stake… Rampage is playing tilt-winner style, exactly what I said…. playing shit-hands, making bad bluffs, and calling bad all-ins. Your comparison is terrible
Not really Matt. Rampage was literally a 1-3 player 2 years ago. Good luck and scaring people off hands is what got him to where he is now. Now the variance is reversed and he’s still playing the same style he did at 1-3, thinking people are gonna be scared of his big bets, which clearly they aren’t at those stakes.
Seen people playing 10/20p playing better....🙈🤣
@@mattingly234ever no its not lol these HLC casino players arent pros.. they are also just rich gamblers
Addicted to the high life. Chasing fame, riches and status is a dangerous game to play.
His donk aggression only worked so good at first because he ran like GOD now that the deck isnt hitting him in the face we are seeing how "good" of a player he is
He thinks he can run over all these high stakes players who have a bigger bankroll & way more experience lol.
Honestly after hitting the poker masters for 900k he's been off and running. The kid is better than a 1/2 player, he is a good player however, I just don't think he spent enough time in the 5/10 or 10/20 streets. Everybody at that HCL table has a bigger net worth, they can absorb the losses. He could play the 10/20 10k buyin max pain Mondays and try to build from there and not have this worry. Remember a million dollar downswing on HCL's big game on Fridays is just 10 buyins of 100k. So what he's down at those stakes is just a blip, just ask Airball who was just claiming he's down 8 million not too long ago and clearly he's changed his play it's affected him.
he isnt a good player lmao, he would get crushed in 1/3
@@DSR505No chance. 1/3 is such an easy game to beat that even a bad player like Rampage would destroy it. I would put very big money on that. However, he isn't really good enough to account for how much he's risking.
@DSR505 He already destroyed his 1/3 go check his early vlogs. He also crushed 2/5 that's how he got invited to play on HCL. However he basically jumped from 2/5 to HCL and he binked two tourneys. He got a WSOP circuit ring and a few months later got the 900k score from the Poker Masters. Neither he or Mariano grinded 5/10 or 10/20 like Brad Owen or Andrew Neemee. That HCL game is soft as hell, Airball makes sure of it so I don't blame them for trying.
HCL is easier to beat than a 1/3 game
have no respect for rampage or Mariano. Both these guys went from grinding 2/5 5/10 to 50/100 conveniently after they started shilling for the GG app for games that are raked and an absurd amount basically using there audience as an ATM. Also met both in person in Vegas last summer and both were total assholes. Mariano treated me like I was cancer when i was standing behind him in a cash out line after I told him how much I liked his vlogs. Rampage acted like a petulant child when I busted him in a WSOP event. Both had a moment of sun run but terrible play cant be overcome.
It is insane how prevalent these illegal app games have become in poker. Unfortunately everyone in the poker media is silently complicit.
@@vsamn1I've noticed that too.
Yep.. and Rampage especially is very suspicious... look up his 160'000 wsop win... He plays in of his first online tournaments ever and gets the biggest sun run set up rigged win i have ever seen in my life.... i have played 1000's of tournaments and have never ran even near that well... He was completely gifted a wsop online win when he hardly knows what hes doing... I find it very weird how he can run better than i have ever seen anyone run in one of his first tournaments ever and run better than i ever have through thousands of tournaments
Maybe his dad works for GG or something
Are you saying online apps might be rigged ? If so I might have been right to quit online gambling like playing on poker stars .
Yea they're both scumbags. Their only value is how much money they have in their accounts to be taken..that is it.
You're quickly becoming my favorite poker CZcamsr.
Vids have been very solid as of late
He's making content and is sponsored - a strong added pressure and incentive to keep taking these shots on stream.
he didnt say "I am kidding" after saying straight thats not cool
why expect less from him, that's his true colors.
He should have said parkour
Absolute scumbag move from a dude being petulant .. obv upset at being picked off regularly these days for the lemming he is.
he is on his villian arc rn
dudes a 1/2 player who took his rake to high stakes.
This 100000%. Mediocre at best.
The best pro poker players know how to read the room, and read their opponent. Even watching this short clip compilation it is blatantly obvious that Greg is a loose-passive rec player, so I am not sure why Rampage felt the need to run a huge bluff against him on a board that barely changed...or failed to give him credit when he took the betting lead.
I give the commentator a ton of respect for calling Rampage's play "punting", just calling it as he sees it.
Alex, your vlog is just fantastik, hope you'll keep making them for a long time. If you do so, i'M sure by the end of 2024 you'll have at least 50,000 subscriver. Thanks for the good time, and very eager to see your next one.
this niche seems to work rather than playing (playing less). Alex knows the market and his audience.
Rampage runs illegally raked cash games on club GG fleecing his audience in high rakeunsecure/unregulated app games. It is not unlikely this is where the majority of his money comes from. Unfortunately this is common practice in the vlogger community. It is pretty gross.
Just vloggers, or other poker pros as seen on tv?
he wasn’t complaining when he was running good and on the right side of variance ✌️
lol, what would he complain about? you ok there, bro?
That doesn’t even make sense bro. Who would complain about winning lol
Are you okay in the head?
He’s ran soooo above EV for so long just like Mariano
Mariano is way better than Rampage. He actually earned his way up in stakes though winning poker. Rampages bankroll comes from online poker rake
@@airhead3333Mariano made his bankroll via poker bros rake lol
its very hard to win anything with >40% VPIP. I get that its a stream, but you can't force math. Also everyone there knows he is >40% VPIP and to adjust they call him down with all kinds of "weak" hands
Although it was not kosher of Rampage to call out he had a straight, he did also immediately turn his hand over and start to put chips out to pay Greg. It probably would have been funnier if it were against a regular but I have no doubt in my mind that had Greg mucked his hand, Rampage would have given him the pot. I don't think it was that big of a deal. Especially after the guy uber-tanked after hitting running trips lol
agreed. I didn't watch the hand so maybe I shouldn't say this but it seemed like a nit roll at the end, so he kind of had it coming...
this was a very fun stream to watch tho. Greg was funnu AF
A lot of people really underestimate just how much downside risk there is in anything involving speculative gambling and variance
I’m 100% convinced rampage has actually started playing differently from when he won WSOP online. He’s gotten so much looser and makes much looser calls IMO because he’s sponsored now and more well known and is afraid of being bluffed and blown off hands.
When Rampage doesn’t bet the rivered straight he needed to adjust by realizing everyone is going to discount his aggression and therefore needs to not bluff.
For a guy who tries to win ever pot he sure does check way too many good hands.
Rampage is the guy that runs hot, makes a bunch, but he never seems to understand that everyone has seen his moves. He just keeps punting off when he isn't running hot. A 4 month cold streak isn't unusual. The difference is most folks slow down, or even reduce the stakes. Not Rampage, He just tries to bluff, and bluff.
Wait till the Feds come a knocking. Mariano n Vibes too.
What does Mariano n Vibes too mean?
@@ryanhughes1101 they profitting from some kind of poker app.....it's unlicensed site only slim shady would run.

Announcing straight is a cock move. Zero respect for rampage now.
Hahaa you’re a clown. In a semi private game where people know each other it’s really not a big deal
Why did you ever have it in the first place? I've always considered fans of his mentally deficient, on the count that you hype his cockiness when he can't even string together a coherent sentence while doing voice-over..
Rampage is lucky that Greg was a nice Guy, some may have thrown Rampage against the wall
The guy Greg is a whale and was being a little bitch. If he mucked, obv rampage would have game him the pot. Greg is a nit rolling fish that slows down the game A TON and miserable to watch
The bigger question is how he ever won in the first place
The rake he gets from splash squad, his illegal clubgg union club, allows his to comfortably donk off 1 million in a 4 month span. So technically his lemmings punted first. It's the punt/re-punt.
@@naswiipp Channeling his inner Howard Lederer
@@DanielSong39 exactly. You on it!
Combination or run good and sheer aggression plus he was playing less bad.
People are folding to him way less than they used to and he isn't adjusting at all.
I had commented on Rampage's channel that he needed a break after running so wickedly hot during his rise. He didn't listen and now he's actualizing the fate of being on "winning tilt" (It could be a thing). Last night he played well on HCL with a $278K win and his play was much better. Perhaps winners running hot should interview players who have run cold as a measure to moderate winners tilt prior to jumping back into a game. Navigating ego is challenging but to dismiss it is costly.
Chasing the rush is a dangerous game.
Maybe start folding 96o pre?
but but but...positive EV says you gotta call...variance blah blah blah
He was good at 1/2 because he had a bigger bankroll than most of those players. But people on streams most likely triple or quadruple his bankroll. Like Airball. He's got money because his parents have millions so he's on daddy's money. He can play crazy because he can afford it.
he needs to move down in stakes. Like 2- 5 and such...some may think that's crazy low...but he is just not that good for these games..and he needs to study more...ya know the same drill we all have gone through many times...but ego is a funny thing...especially at a young age....
Rampage goes to the same driving range I do and always see him pull up in his Tesla. I’ve said hi a few times, and often I’ve wanted to be like “dude, just quit and pivot to a golf channel or something. You’re known. Golf channels are big right now. You can make income as a CZcamsr doing something where you lose no money.” But then it’s not my place. It’s degenerate behavior he’ll have to figure out on his own.
Interesting
Hopefully he can put some of the luck box money away before it's all gone.
he is backed from staking site and sponsors he makes $ from youtube and sponsors off his backers $ risk 0 only upside
@@ZeleninaT how long do backers stick around with losers?
@@AlexDuvall Yeah. He lives down the street. I won't say where, obviously. But we're both from MA. He's a really nice guy. And he's worked very hard. I'd hate to see him go busto or living on credit just to play poker. He made a video asking what kind of content people would like to see, and I told him "Golf!" Look at the explosion of golf channels recently. They're cheap to produce and the overhead is basically travel. Plus, he could still gamble on the course! Win/Win if he needs the rush.
His people around him have to pull him aside for a long talk. Time has told us that most of these stores end very bad. I've had people in my life who have decided to end it because of huge loses like this.
rampage is one of the lucky ones of the modern TV/internet era, chosen for his appeal to the masses and will reap the benefits of rigged online games to rebuild his bankroll from any number of sites, from the WSOP to GG Poker to any number of "silent" backers that will put him in the big games again faster than you can say "raise".
If it wasnt for the WSOP, Poker Stars, GG Poker, Full Tilt and all the other scam sites, Negreanu would be living in the Siegel Suites off the Strip, asking for backers to the ME.
@@id10t98 I agree
Rampage ran super hot for a year and half. He’s a great player but that was a huge part of his success. Now he’s now running well and pushing / chasing throwing up prayers.
He needs to get back to the fundamentals
How many big blind approx?
Announcing a straight is pretty bush league by Rampage. Especially with Greg being so overweight, the added stress probably took a couple months off his life span 😂
Bruh
you shouldn't be surprised by luck-box douchery
haha, fat people! I get it.
3:24 slight correction here. He bet $3K into $2.5K (overbet). Odd call with a gutshot with 1 to come and dead to two different flush draws.
Oh yeah you are correct
Poker teaches you patience and emotional control. Some just learn the hard way
Honestly this is so relatable…maybe not the higher stakes but this is exactly how I’ve felt at 5/10.
Naturally his big failed bluffs will draw the most attention but that's an integral part of Rampage's game. Sometimes it works and it's always in the background helping him get action when he's got a hand. It was the bad calls that really show how messed up his rhythm is right now. Rampage gave away over $22K on the questionable river payoffs with AJ, K9 and KT. The river check with TT was bad too but maybe Pepe doesn't pay him off.
AJ was right!!!!
Tune in to info wars Monday-Friday 11A-3P
It's just a short stretch of bad luck. Keep grinding, he will bounce back before he knows it. It ain't over 'til it's over.
3:05 rampage calls which is completely ok? Are you off your marbles? Greg just has a flush or a slow played 9 pretty much 99% of the time. This is a horrible horrible pay off. Greg is never betting this size with worse. The k9 payoff was horrible too
Man this type of poker play reminds me of how I played the other month on a 3 night drinking binge which resulted in losing $4000. Except he's sober and losing 7 figures.... that's gotta HURT.
RAMPUNT strikes !!
When rampage first came on the scene with the most ridiculous sun run ever i said wait till variance shows up. Well variance has arrived
That angle of mis announcing your hand is slimy
It's easy to pile on a so-called pro who starts losing massively, but Jesus, some of these plays would be bad from an amateur playing $1-3 NL. The K-10 offsuit hand was just horrendous. First off, it's a hand you really ought to just fold preflop. But on that river...you can't beat anything. Yes, you're getting almost 5-1 on your money, but so what? YOU CAN'T BEAT ANYTHING. Then there's the bankroll management. A good player doesn't risk more than 10% of his bankroll in a given session. Rampage by his own admission is risking 50-100%. It's literally impossible to win longterm playing this way, because even if you somehow manage to play perfectly, sooner than later you'll take a horrible beat or cooler.
two weeks ago he said he was broke and going back to 1/3 and here is shows up with wads to play. Who is backing him or is it all a hoax with fake chip stacks?
Why is it a snap call when Greg has trips? If Rampage had 9s full then people would say how its an easy fold because Greg had a diamond blocker to possible flush draw bluffs and it was a near double pot bet on river.
Sad to see this because he seems like a nice guy thats had rapid success and fame go to his head clouding his judgement. Its likely that WSOP braclet in that online event made him think that hes better than he really is. He got a massive boost to his bankroll and ran super hot when he took massive shots but it seems as if he didnt really think about the longrun. Hes quite clearly became horrible at bankroll management once he got a taste of easy big money and is clearly displaying signs of what likely is gambling addiction. Speaking as someone who have and know many with the same kind of mindset in regards to money in gambling situations. He should take a break to reset his mind from this destructive behaviour.
rampage may want to learn risk of ruin
What Rampage wrote was the closest I've seen him come to actually saying what's wrong, but still can't say the words...compulsive gambler or just plain addict. Going over his hands and critiquing his play is only looking at the symptoms and unfortunately most in the comments I've seen in the past and even comments from other creators don't want to even say those words and keep encouraging him that it'll get better. It's really sad to witness.
Why you have to do that to Rampunts
If I ever got in the position to have a million dollar downswing (I'm not good enough at the game to actually win that much), I'd have quit or at least gone back to low stakes before it could happen. What is the point in risking everything when you already have all the money you will ever need?
I just dont get how people dont call his all ins every time. He bluffs so much!
I know he sold 50 percent of his action for a stream before. So, how much is the downswing, honestly? Because he sells so much action.
true
I'm guessing somewhere between 0-10% of the "1 million" figure
@@DanielSong39 he makes more off content and advertising his channel for free

@@id10t98 Your last line is the most likely scenario
I've seen Rampage and I've seen Bart and even I can tell who the better player is
Rampage literally relies upon other sources of income. And having the most ridiculous sun runs in tournaments. When it comes to big cash games against actually decent players he can’t profit huge because his plays aren’t smart enough and when the deck doesn’t run his way he doesn’t know how to play the players properly.
when playing like dogsh is a "downswing"
Lmfaoooo his jacket say ATM🎉🎉
The risks of high stakes is that even running bad can be crippling.
What's the benefits of playing at that level
It seems a huge reach
It's high risk
High reward
People should really lay off Rampage. He has a ton of heart and makes enjoyable content and does not sugarcoat his issues. Unfortunately he has a gambling problem and needs to take a step back and stop playing in such large games or he will go completely broke. Because he is now so well known in the poker community stepping out of the spotlight will be hard for him as these games will all be asking him to play.
This lowkey why Brad Owen is the only poker blogger I still respect, bro still remembers what money is
Yes but his voice is so dry and boring. I dont dig his style.
Expensive poker lessons for him.
I kind of feel bad, I 100 believe it is my fault that rampage and Mariano are on such a down swings. I frequently went to his meet up games and supported his Channel I really liked their content. Last fall. Lost my job and was in a really bad spot I asked both of them to stake me in a game and they both ignored me. A simple no would have been understandable they I put my juju on hem now look . As of today I lift the curse I feel really bad for him

Addiction
Last year I’ve won $25,000 as an average guy. That was thanks to rampage and his vlogs. His videos taught me how to break down hand and how to read people. Ive watched hundreds of hours of his videos. The mistake he made in his career for this downfall was him getting into the games bigger than he can afford. Clearly put himself in a tough situation, and emotions got the worst out of him. Should have just stuck to 1/3, 5/5, in that range and could of kept compounding his profits
ngl if he pulled what he did against Greg at the wrong table he would get jumped the second he left the casino
3:36 He was starting to sweat and tilt as soon as he took off his jacket
Tilt isn't a feeling. It is a culmination from bad beats and bad runs that increase the amount of stress a player has. It cause a player to make poor decisions during play and until they work it out they will continue to play tilted.
this is what happens when you aren't good and have a couple rungoods in high stakes, eventually you get exposed
After playing professionally for 15 years, it’s become clear that it’s not the winning that separates players, it’s the losing. The best losers are the biggest lifetime winners. You’ve got to stay composed, mitigate risk, and find a way to lose with grace. Going through massive downswings, especially when you’re a great player, gives you a much greater opportunity than winning ever does, it exposes you at your worst and everyone is watching…
This only works when someone calls his bluff then Rampage starts running hot and hitting hands
I’ve been saying this for over a year: rampunts can’t even beat 1/3. He ran super hot in bunch of big spots and now variance is coming for him.
Stop giving this guy your money! Don’t ever STAKE anybody!!
People staked this guy? Please tell me you're lying.
Feel bad for the guy ..alot to learn here from watching ..poker is a martial art
He will bounce back has alot of heart
Airball jinxed him!
this was one of the worst HCL stream ever. If I hear the word "schlub" 500 fuckin times and mostly by the commenter it's awful
Yeah, HCL just kind of lost its luster...
@@dantrav1927 I like soto in general but yeah the personalities on HCL are so boring and too many accusing others of cheating and shit. Never hear that on the Lodge or TCH ones...
And DGAF is just brutal. He's usually either playing or commentating and he loves hearing himself talk.
The total transparency about his problems with the high of gambling is refreshing. The poker community is rarely honest about the problems with chasing the high like a drug addict.
total transparency? two weeks ago he said he was done, so where did this cash come from?
He might want to consider doing a brutally honest variance assessment for the stakes he's playing. I mean real math, (not "intuition") using stdev (sqrt of the variance), etc. There are plenty of poker players out there who can help with the math part, or it's all online as well. Many players fall into the trap of thinking that their current "horrific" downswing is a one-in-a-million occurrence of awful luck, and that things are bound to "turn around" soon. When in fact said downswing may be a completely expected result given the variance of the stakes they're playing. The unfortunate reality of poker (and most other forms of gambling), is that if you're playing at a level that is "exciting", you're probably playing beyond your bankroll. No matter how well-heeled you are, there will always be someone out there who could take your life's savings, throw it down the sewer, and not lose a minute's sleep.
Did rampage get a stylist or something? What’s up “big haircut”
There's something very fishy about him, two weeks ago when he lost he was talking about how he might have to go and play lower limits and he said that he needs to digest that big loss. A week later he comes back and he buys in for a tremendous amount, I have a feeling like he's been scamming some of his backers because where did all the money suddenly come from when he was supposedly on an extreme downswing
he is one of the chosen ones for the TV/internet era and will have every online site ready and willing to give him rigged games to play online, money to go play live events like this until the cows come home. If you didnt think the auto shufflers didnt rig hands, think again.
@@id10t98 I know a lot of the streamers are playing for fake money and even those Vegas couple, I think they're called casino action, they ran a big scam and after everybody subscribe to them now they're playing for Penny's slots and people actually are paying a monthly subscription thinking that it was supposed to be a high limit channel. The only thing with this guy is that literally a week ago he was talking about how he played with his whole bankroll and it seemed a little bit weird that everything is just kind of cleaned up and back to normal.
@id10t98 wait what? Online games are rigged?
@@ghsense2626 I'm guessing you're being sarcastic 😂
@@id10t98 These streamers are all scam artists
Everyone should take shots gambling at least one time in their lives so they can do a 'Losing Respect' blog post.
Yeah but he has a solid reason why he plays so many hands .. to quote “because why not”
Rooting for you Rampage!..Kinish's truck is always available
5:41 - Rampage looks scared as hell. He looks like he just saw someone get murdered in a brutal way. The only thing Greg needs to do is take one look at Ethan's face - it says it all.
Rampage doesn't know it but he's a lucky boy. He has his health, his youth and good looks. He has life by the butt. Tuck in your tail young man and take time to learn what older people/players already know. Learn before trying to earn.
Poker is a brutal game as we all know. Playing against guys/gals with more experience, a bigger roll and more discipline is a losing proposition. Luck doesn't help long term. The need for a rush is poker kryptonite. Bluffing is essential but only occasionally so as to vary your play. Bluffing too often is your opponent's best friend.
Every time you sit down there are players at the table with a larger roll, more experience and better discipline. You're at a disadvantage from the word go, a huge disadvantage if most/all of them have these advantages over you. Find your level and be satisfied. Rampage is still 'wet behind the ears', he has nothing but time to learn and to advance into bigger games if that's 'in the cards' for him. Relax Rampage, learn self-control, play at a lower level or exit from the game before the inevitable rock bottom.
Very wise words:)) - I’m 60 now and sometimes think back to when I was in my twenties - gosh did I have a lot to learn lol.
@@julianhodgson1961 It's scary to think how little we knew at that age. Thanks my friend.
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
