      @@AlexDuvall Regardless this is some really autistic title to give to the video. Even if this is not your game you should not be namecalling the rec's at the table when they are donating to the ecosystem you are living in / from. Maybe think a bit more globally. Too weak for clickbait but too rude for the ecosystem overall. Really does not accomplish anything other then maybe if the video's star sees it, he may be less inclined to play again.

      Im not saying that u didnt compliment him, and I also dont even think ur trying to mock him, but the title and thumbnail were definitely pretty aggro. Still a fan of the channel and I respect the fact that u take the time to answer these concerns. Keep up the good work @@AlexDuvall

    Wow at 3:45 he asks to run it twice but doesn't give Curtis the same luxury, and then has the balls to say hey we should hang out again as Curtis leaves 100k down. Not cool?

    He should be called “reverse tesla” or “ Tesla inverse”
    His pnl graph is inverse of Tesla’s stock graph

    I am guessing this Tesla character has money to burn. I would kill to get in a game with a player like him. He will win a few big Pots on pure dumb luck, but he will Spew out a LOT more.
