So Rampage responded to this video and he was not happy to say the least... czcams.com/video/J8fdAgnJ5dc/video.html
Unfortunately Rampage has gotten to the point where he isn't playing poker, he's just compulsively gambling.
He never was that great a player.Pulls some very poor bluffs.Wants to raise all the time.Has a problem calling like so many of them.
I still can’t believe he got that bluff through against Handz.
@graemebell8929 He got away with it for so long because he ran like God now that he's running normal he's going down hill hard that's the craziest part he still isn't even running bad just wait til he actually runs bad and gets cooler after cooler its gonna be bad then
Boy needs a break from poker.
Looks out of energy
Rampage was at the CPT final table sitting there on his phone and punted first place against 2 amateurs, I wouldn’t give this guy a penny
It’s the oldest trick in the poker book. Take stake money, “lose” it to your friend at the table. Then have that friend give it back to you. Poker money laundering 101
"Gambling losses"
IRS on the way...
You're onto something. Curious how of all the players he lost his entire staked stake from it was Marianne O.
The same guy whose car he was in later that night and is an intimate contact.
Interesting point. Never actually thought of that
Haha :)))) i missed it.
@@troycambo Maybe splitting that 200K loss? Or maybe there is a percentage? It happens all the time
Punting addict, likes the idea of being a luck box and getting known for it, better than the idea of being wealthy and good at poker.
I understand that part but then he does some dumb sh*t like jam with J-10 for $60k in a raised pot against 2 players.
@@eltoroloco1936Exactly what he said ...and against who? None other than his friend Mariano! He is clearly not losing money. All of his new downswing adventure is meticulously planned so to get proof he lost it all... It even hurts to watch for bad acting.
His channel is over!
You can't build wealth in poker without bankroll management.
"Hey, it's your boy Rampage, and I'm looking for people to back me with $1,000,000 to play in this fantastic upcoming live meet-up game full of whales. All the biggest fish in poker will be there: Doug Polk, Tom Dwan, Jungleman, Tony G. All those donkeys. Even that passive, scared-money, weak-tight pushover Alan Keating will be there! Don't miss your chance to get a piece of the action!"
sounds like a can't-lose proposition - what do those other guys really know about poker anyway
when you put it that way a person would be a fool to give him money.He never was that good and isnt up to the likes of Keating.
@@graemebell8929 When I first started watching Keating I thought he was a fish. It took me a while to realize that he's amazing. He plays loose as hell pre-flop and then out maneuvers everyone post. Those Hustler games are so deep, it must be scary to face off against him.
@@newstandardaccount yep and he is a really nice bloke on top of it.
Everyone knows that Doug Polk is just a HU nerd, he's just a really horrible player compared to Rampage in full ring. I mean, he's only got 3x the bracelets as Rampage and 5x tournament winnings. Complete trash.
The guys living like a rockstar and now he wants you to risk your money so he can resume his lifestyle. Hell no. Gamble w your own money.
Rampage is a feeder, not a winner. A guy everyone loves to see at the table.
Absolutely.
he is live as fuck and definitely is known to punt, but at the same time, dude did build up a real roll. You cant lose a million if you dont have a million in the first place, so the fact that his roll was 1million+ is nothing to scoff at.
Anyone giving him money is an idiot
People have no shame, it’s pathetic.
Same energy as the dude on the corner asking you for $1 so he can get another hit of crack.
Yeah bro, exactly the same.
I'd rather give a dude a dollar for some rocks than to stake Rampage a single cent.
He’s not a poker player. He’s said it himself… He’s a vlogger that happened to get lucky with poker content… Support real poker players not content creators is the Hashtag!💯
"Support real poker players "
lol
I stand with Mike Matosow....is this enough😂😂😂😂
@@user-gs3tq6bx2u I think he meant, thinking players, that actually care about improving their game.
I don't understand the Rampage Poker hype. The dude is so bland.
Always has been overrated.
Yup, he just plays his all-in bluffs hoping for a hope/prayer on the river or his opponents folding. Just plain dbag bingo poker 🤣 ANYONE can do this shyt at a table, but takes someone with actual skills to play in these high stakes games. Yes, luck plays a part of course, but you need the basic poker skills not just bingo crap.
I've always found him entertaining simply because he IS a gambler and clearly doesn't have the mindset nor knowledge of a professional poker player. I suppose in a way it's kind of like watching a train wreck. But he puts himself out there on the internet for the world to see, so if he doesn't like it he can always stop.
You see, with his mindset (with the million dollar loss as a background context) he knows he needs to go back to basics at lower stakes, BUT HE CANT, HES STUCK... because at that rate (even if youre consistently winning) to win a million from lower stakes will take a whole lifetime to accomplish. That is why he believes he needs to stay at high stakes. Hes lost.
@@bryanryan4504 The gambling mindset. Trying to chase your losses. I know (as a degenerate but trying to reform gambler myself) lol.
I wouldn't invest in Rampage if he offered a 50% markdown
Comment of the day
Want to note- everybody saying rampage has changed his style/play could not be more off base. He has always been a bad poker player; variance just caught up
As a current and lifelong Degen...this hurts to watch.
He's stuck in a vicious loop. He got in a habit of "do it for the vlog"
Type play which ends in massive punts ...then he chases his loses.--rinse, wash, repeat.
I met him and talked with em when I faced him in a heads up tournament. He's very humble and a likable nice dude. I hate to see all the negative comments.
Yes he brings some of the pain on to himself but imagine urself in the midst of a horrendous downswing (7 figs) and the whole internet is trolling and bashing you.
Been brutal to watch...I hope he spins it back up
Most of them aren't trolling and bashing on him, they are trying to get their online friend to wake the fuck up before he ends up living in those tunnels under Vegas, broke and homeless.
Nah he’s just a scum game runner who’s dusted off all the rake (for now).
@@tombeh most are supportive but there's been a bunch of trolls too
Yah so very humble of him to beg his fans/following for $1million to go donk it up with lol
We’ve been hoping for this for quite some time now
I tried watching Rampage a long time ago but him constantly saying "I don't know what I'm doing" was one thing that got me to stop watching him.... also him telling me to commit a Felony (online poker in my state) so he can line his pockets was a huge red flag lol.
Yessir
This guy is absolutely shameless. Begging people for money over the internet is next level cring af lol. Personally i think hes a scammer and liar 100%
I know for 100% certainty that. Rampage is a scammer.
FBi is fully aware of his illegal poker site rake scam.
Rampage, Mariano and Johnnie Vibes were and still are running a massive cheat ring, Ponzi scheme, and money laundering operation and have been for years. Frankly rampage should be in prison and sooner or later will be.
@@BobBob-ey5bra lot of these CZcams vloggers made a lot of money using their name to get players in and running clubs making a lot of money off the illegal rake.
The crazy thing is hes not even running bad on the downswing its all punts hes just running normal now instead of like God just wait til he actually starts running bad its gonna go downhill FAST
Insane to go to a 1M game and don't have this 1M...
You should have at least 5* that play there...
Zero money management, total gambling...
The clown of the poker world right now...
It isn't insane to him. He is asking people to hand him over the million dollars.
He needs keep appearances up so his name stays popular in the poker world.. thas how he makes money.. youtube, his scam site, and getting staked and never playing with his own money
realistically speaking, nobody is rolled for such a game, but at least a serious player can put like 800k on the line and sell another 400 or something
You need $75,000,000 to be risking $1,000,000.
@BobBob-ey5br it's not a tournamnet it's a cash game. Noone needs 75 buyins for cash games your good with 20. Stop coddling your roll and play bigger if you wanna make money.
So now that you made all this money in tourneys, cash games, merch selling and advertisements, you’re resulting into just straight up begging. Pretty sad.
That last hand my guy I think you are missing the scam they are both staked by stake kings so rampage didn’t lose 60k he punted 60k of his fans money to his best friend Mariano who could just throw him some of it later and who cares if he don’t it ain’t his cash to begin with
Why do these creators like Alex say poker is skilled based with some luck? Wrong poker is gambling , a game of luck. With some skill involved
I thought of this exact same thing when watching that hand..
Fans staking poker players in cash game is just asking to be scamed. The oldest poker scam.
They are both running a scam poker site called splash squad! That and fishtopia is also a SCAM. I have knowledge that botts are playing on every table and they just rake in the cash... how the fuck you think they went from 1/3 to million dollar game ... come on guys
If anyone wants to make a REAL poker app hit me up... take all there players seriously.
scampage is such a clown
Another problem I see with staking people (especially a cash game) is that all they need to do to steal your money and have no obligation to you is to have a colluding partner they lose it all to and later they split the money. It use to be called "Scraping off the shoe" It is just straight up theft.
the game is going to be streamed... find another excuse to hate him
@@temujinkhan6326 gullible or just a d rider.
@@temujinkhan6326 Are you 4 years old? Just because you can't think of how easy it is doesn't mean it is not. Punting most your money in questionable situations is already a red flag
@@mountainclothier3663 a 4 year old is still smarter than someone who is brain dead
@@temujinkhan6326 You're defending pretty hard here, sounds like I struck a nerve. You have engaged in this type behavior before and now you're pissed it got exposed?
Rampage just isn’t good enough at poker. It really is that simple. People like to attach a narrative to it, he is just a bit it a “punter” they say, but it’s all the same thing. He’s not good enough at poker to play these stakes.
so are you saying that all the tournaments Rampage won were just lucky run good for hundreds of hands each time? lol....Run good has to happen to win a tournament or win big in cash games, but skill is the major factor.
@@user-gs3tq6bx2u tournament wins versus being a long term winning cash player are NIGHT AND DAY. Being able to win a tournament is not easy, but it's way easier to win one than to make profitable cash decisions for years at a stretch.
@@user-gs3tq6bx2u he is not good enough for high stakes cash games. I didn’t say anything about tournaments (which are MUCH more luck based, something he excels at)
Yea I have no idea why he doesn't join the streams with luda Chris and these other donkeys. Like DK or whatever. Like 10-50k buyins. That's more his level
@@user-gs3tq6bx2uyes he was Lucky.
I've been watching pro poker for 30 years. One common theme: you don't see anyone after three or four years, and the ones that you DO see are making more money off of endorsements and they often are not even playing with their own money.
Fuck all of these high rollers. Seriously.
Here's how it works. The poker "pros" bink a large score or two in some major tournaments. All the sudden they think they are good and use their new found bankroll to play tons of other tournaments over the next few years. Most end up having a downward trending graph, while some may get lucky and continue to bink a few more scores. But most will fade away once they start to realize it's mostly luck. The ones with good personalities end up getting endorsements and usually have their buy ins paid for. That's what sustains them through their "career" - not their "awesome" poker skills. So any wins they have are pure profit, vs the ones thar have to use their own money. The entire industry is a scam because the idea keeps getting propagated that if you're a poker "genius" you can make millions on the tournament circuit. Although there is a basic amount of skill needed to stand a chance at those big scores, sorry there's just too much luck for anyone to win consistently.
Don't get me wrong - I love poker and love playing tournaments as a hobby, but that's all it is and ever will be. I know better than to throw my whole career away to try and become "pro".
This is why I strive on only playing low stakes cause it's getting so ridiculous it's like they have to keep playing higher and higher to get views but not me thankfully
Even Negreanu talks about how everyone goes broke at one point in their poker career, and he just lost 3 mill last year (which I'm sure was mostly given to him by the sites and casinos). This comment hits the nail on the head. We've glorified the folks because they live a life we want to live (and, of course, if you're giving this guy money, you could be saving that money to live that life yourself if you wanted to.).
Some of us made good money in the golden days and got out.
@@Brian-vk1hm If you knew good poker strategy 10/20 years ago you could absolutely dominate. Anymore, most every poker player is well versed, so nowadays it mostly just comes down to luck. Look at Doug Polk. His results in recent years aren't nearly as good as what they were 10 or 15 years ago.
Have been waiting for this video!
The wait is over 🫡
@@AlexDuvall I messaged him on instagram asking him why he had deleted the video and he just played dumb. He uploaded it again yesterday.
Always appreciate your insight, thank you.
It is amazing how Alex Duvall scrubbed the comments about rampage laundering money and running scams with Mariano.
Scam artist been robbing people on poker apps in "clubs" for years now
The absolute lack of self awareness and disconnect he shows in this video is god awful wow
It might be different if he was a good player experiencing the raw end of variance but that isn't the case, he was wildly fortunate to ever get up into those stakes to begin with and then continued bad play burned it all back down. Now he's trying to throw good money after bad and asking other people to go on the ride with him. What he should be doing is reigning himself in, playing within his means and building his bankroll and his skill level up simultaneously. Trying to get it all back in one big swing is just asking for the latest RamPunt of backers' money.
I need a million dollars too. I am not proud either if anyone wants to donate.
I think what’s alarming is how much he’s contradicting himself.
Like most gamblers, Rampage has let his ego override his ability.
He never was a good player. He luck boxed himself to winning a large tournament. Never played above the rim and he constantly made risky bluffs. As soon as he got the reputation of a bluffer, everyone else adjusted and he got eaten alive by the sharks
and wtf does Rampage mean he doesnt get stacked? thats a blatant lie seeing how the last stream i saw him play on he literally gets stacked on the last hand of the night attempting the stupidest bluff ever
Rampage doesn’t get stacked. He stacks himself.
I have seen this story 100s of times. Successful Poker player moves up in Stakes, knowing their ROI is negative at high stakes, and get Ruined. Its all about Ego and Dopamine now..
3:08 Gotta love the human condition, Mariano LITERALLY licks his lips, waiting for a feast!
😂😂😂😂😂
💯😂🔥
Don't lend him any money Mariano.
Friggin reptilian! 😂
Shit like this is why I cannot take these high stakes streaming celebs seriously.
Who TF would stake this guy hahahahaha
I sent him a 5,000
@@anthonyfoutch3152 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he needs 10 million dollars to buy back his fold button.
bro i think you may have an higher ROI and lower variance by just taking those 5k and literally put it on fire @@anthonyfoutch3152
It’s very common for bad players on downswings to lose much more than good players would under the same circumstances.
Here I am trying to build a $20k bankroll and this man just asking for a cool $10k donation LOL
as soon as you are gambling other's money you are finished! If you want to do it, do it with your OWN!!!!!!
It's like he is asking us for $1000 to play 2/5 when his bank account shows $17.
I told him 2 years ago about his play, he just smiled
I know a few NFL teams that are looking for special teams players.
You can easily tell by his demeanor that he doesn’t care for his “fans” he’s all about money and fame and it’s All gone to his head.
He's a leech. Now crying about criticism online after asking cor a million lol
Watched this video and genuinely could not believe he uttered that line. EXTREMELY RARE to get stacked in cash games lololol
I don't think I've ever seen a game where someone doesn't get stacked at every level there is lol
I could never have the audacity too record myself in another country on vacation asking my "viewers" for their hard earned money too put it off. Due too the economy I haven't been able too financially take a vacation since before covid. He "works his ass off" I have been going too school full time and working full time since 2008. I am currently finishing my fourth degree while maintaining a professional career. I quickly became a fan of rampage and quickly became a unfan of rampage. Don't hate the guy just lack of respect for his audience is all. Awesome video!!
yall on a mob mentality......he has won plenty.....making final 2 vs. hottest player in the game Lonis.....yall love to gang up on somebody while you are playing 1/2 at some "card room". He makes lots of questionable gambling decisions but he has won a lot too.
Sorry, but you could tell he was a narcissist early on. His ego has currently overtaken his luck. He should learn something from Brad about taking it step by step and building a solid journey.
Question, when someone stakes a Hustler live game, is the backing only for the live Streamed play? Are you on the hook for the off Stream portion of the game? How can you confirm the results of the Staking? Who monitors this?
just for on stream
Rampage
“I need money”
Also rampage
“Don’t get mad at me when I lose money”
Delusional af.

Where the silence should actually be...
"My name is Ethan and I'm a compulsive gambler"
@@tombeh faxxx. I could care less myself as I see it as entertainment. But he's starting to become a disgrace to the community.
'i don't have 1 mil liquid' means i dont have 1 million
Means he got $1M in either stocks, bonds, or other electronic means
.
Means he is broke
If you ain’t got it don’t play
If you can’t afford to lose don’t play
I hate the word "hater". I don't think Ethan has haters as much as he has critics. I think generally those who are watching him play and making criticisms are doing it with his best interests in mind. If he has lucked himself into a bankroll rather than blow it all off in more nosebleed sessions I think most commenters are recommending he drop to low stakes where his CZcams channel probably earns enough money to continue playing so he can keep providing content and allow him to continue earning his revenue stream, and to take the couple hundred grand he's lucked into and invest it into a legit businees before he blows it. I don't think most people hate Ethan the person - he's a nice kid. But he has major flaws in his game, and not only does he have flaws but the world can study his game from his vlogs and exploit him relentlessly. I think most people are just trying to implore him to take a low risk route before he gets himself into big trouble.
He plays a 100 hands but the video he posts only shows 5 hands where he punts like a drunken sailor ....it's called entertainment. If the video only had 5 hands where he played good poker, no one would watch it and he wouldn't be a celebrity getting invited to the big cash games online.
and due to being a "poker celebrity" he gets invited to soft home games full of coked up crypto bros and bat shit crazy Chinese who haven't got a clue how to play and don't care if they throw away a couple of hundred thousand in a night and in these games, players like Rampage, win big 8 times out of 10.
@@user-gs3tq6bx2u you do realize that his CZcams channel doesn't pay him enough to be punting $100k to $500k a session right?
@@user-gs3tq6bx2u then why cry when he loses 500k lol
get real
Hes addicted to going All in and hoping for the best and then asking his viewers to give him tons of merchandise sales 😂 dude is turning into a clown.
As it happens, I also could use a million dollars.
I play at a local card club for many many years (25), I see players come and go for a while, usually those kind of players I can tell he will not last very long. No one have un limited bank roll. biggest game in this club is 15/30 and I have lasted there for that long is I only play what I can afford, I make very good money from my business. but I have never lost more then couple of grand a night and I have won as much as eight grand, this level of game I never have to worry about asking my friends for help and I am able to full fill my Poker bug desire.
It's insane that people are talking shit in the comments, rampage is a GREAT tournament player. He literally has won more low, medium, and high stakes than ALL of the people in the comment section lmao
Hi Rampage
Hi will be the only fish on that game 🤣🤣 so GL if any of you sponsoring him on that game 😂😂😂😂
why would anyone just spunk money to fuel this clown's fantasy. Out of touch with reality much>? Sheesh.
All those high stakes new players who haven't even played 5 million hands with a profitable line showing up with a bunch of money out of nowhere and proceed to lose everything only to ebeg for more are kinda fun.
It is Entertaining.
His tax problems are bigger then his actual gambling losses
Inevitable with his style to go broke once the sharpies see and analyze his style.
His biggest win so far in this challenge was because of a cooler
AK vs KK vs QQ
Who in their right mind would give anyone a million dollars just for asking. Especially someone addicted to gambling.
Rampage gave away to some random $400,000.😂😂😂
Why the fuck would I give him a hundred bucks when I could just go play some 2/2 at my local card room lol
It’s good seeing fish rise to the buggiest levels. Chris Moneymaker is the reason most of us are even into poker today, cause a huge fish took it all down.
When big fish win huge, it inspires pros and armatures. I like the way rampage talks about poker, it gives hope that if he could do it, anyone could.
His body language reminds me of someone I knew in the past, someone who has gambling problems and can't stop.
Not supporting somebody's gambling habit.
He does have a point about the hate comments driving out him as a "Fish". The problem is, he's crowdfunding money from others versus using his own money...
He has no point.. if his peers or other players were doing that then he has a point.. but comments will in the most part he trolling or negative. It comes with it
He is point is dumb, 99% of his comments are ppl who don't or won't ever play against him
He's just gaslightjng so people stop exposing him for being a scammy launderer
I called it months ago. He’s had the best sun run anyone’s ever seen. And people were literally defending how good a player he is. No he’s average player who luckboxes his way through. Now the variance and luck has finally evened out.
1000% this
When a person spends lots of money, but is constantly borrowing money, that person is not wealthy. They are a conman.
Just went to his page and his latest video is him golfing, eating lobster on a cruise ship, and what not lol 💀💀💀
Is there a full mirror of his video?
His gig as a WPT Ambassador is probably why he removed the video asking to be staked, he needs a Public Relations manager.
We are watching him crash and burn in real time. Guy was immensely lucky for years building his BR to one million, but then got greedy...
Glad you said that, public figures (and most humans for that matter) always want the positive without the negative. The ole "having your cake and eating it too" attitude. This world is a hot ass mess, anyone with aspirations of fame and/or fortune please be careful what you wish for...Also, stop deleting comments.
Immagine asking strangers online for a million dollars because you wanna gamble
He's not good for the game and needs to move on. He belongs in 1-2 home games and has no business in a professional card room or casino. I had to block StakeKings email last week so they would stop spamming me to stake Ethan. How is this guy still invited to play celebrity poker games? It's really just pathetic.
rampage is a fish but you are kinda dumb for not understanding you can just change your email settings on stakekings lol
It is sad to see Rampage in this situation and I hope he will be back on his feet soon.
Rampunt should have classes how to punt
I don't understand the feigned outrage here. It's not his fans who initiated this situation, and Alex is merely leveraging his name for clickbait. Yes, Rampages is experiencing a significant downturn, and yes, he's soliciting money, but how is this considered news in the Poker world? Players engage in this behavior routinely; there are platforms specifically designed for such requests, so there's nothing novel or scandalous about it. In fact, I've done it myself, as have my friends.
He's not asking for people's life savings he's merely inviting others to join him on the ride and he's been remarkably candid about his financial struggles and the efforts he's making. Some individuals seem to revel in tearing others down.
His sun run is over he'll be back at 2/5 before long if he keeps it up.
I think he'll bounce back
Another thing to mention when you don't respect money and treat money like shit then !!!
Great video glad someone in the poker community has the balls to discuss the app game allegations. Hope this vid gets you 1 million subs.
app allegations? its fact that he makes big rake from his app clubs - what allegiation is there?
why has nobody called the IRS or FBI on this loser ? can we plz see him behind bars
Near the beginning of COVID Rampage posted multiple videos promoting, “Splash Squad” on club GG. Hopefully this is being reported to the DOJ. Surely these raked ap games breaks many laws (as well as being shitty to fleece your fans in high raked unsecure games. Hopefully this is the first video of many calling out Ethan.
the best way to describe rampage right now. Winners Tilt. simple as that
Well said. It’s a very real thing.
I am a fan of Rampage and I feel like this was a very fair commentary. It says a lot about the state the Rampage is in right now that he saw it as an attack.
If you made 1000,000 at poker like Rampage did 99% of poker players will stop. Unfortunately greed gets the better of those who can't stop.
Completely agree. I have also watched all his game videos and in most cases I had my both hands on my head, My two cents in this matter is Rampage is not a very good poker player, he got lucky for a little while and he never learn when to fold, I guess since Kenny Rogers passed away, there is no one to teach him when to fold em.
“…no pressure “. Wow thanks Rampage.
If you have a poker bankroll worth 300,000 you should be playing in the 25/50 streets and taking shots in the 50/100 streets. Those streets are not very crowded though….
Rampage is the Anthony Farer of Poker 😂
He should just grind up a bankroll like I did, behind the dumpster at Wendy's.....
She's willing do it for me too this year! Haha I was like grandma, No!
Lmao. “Rock bottom” while walking around what I’m
Guessing is an upscale marina in California. Most people are incredibly delusional.
How much better it would be for the game for him to simply say he couldn´t afford to play this year. Destroyed his fan base!
The video was probably taken down because it violated CZcams's policy; Can't upload a video begging the internet world for money.
I told him to give up poker and said he is suck at this game, and then he blocked me on Instagram.🤣
SOUNDS LIKE HE "CAN'T HANDLED THE TRUTH"
how many wsop/wpt have you won dog?
less than him I can tell you dat
Rampage is almost to the point that most tourney pros are. Absolutely BROKE AF
This is disgusting that this guy has the nerve to ask his fans for money for him to gamble if he wins will he split his winnings to the people that help him I doubt it so why would be helping him
