If you have the bankroll and ability to climb stakes, there is nothing wrong with NOT doing it. The Peter Principle is likely to kick in at some point, and it's okay not to find where.

I agree with this too. This will be a learning experience if anything for him. One thing that these young vloggers are good at is game selection. There's a reason Brad hasn't sat at a game with Mariano, for example. In watching both, IMO, Mariano would wipe the floor with Brad. The latter's analysis and the way he talks through his thought process on hands he plays is on another level from Brad.
In going into last weekend and seeing the lineup, Brad was probably licking his chops but variance didnt go his way those two games. In the long run, he'll probably be a winner in those games if he continues, but with how loose and wide some of those players play, it is very high variance in terms of results.

Misregs calling misreg a misreg... Love it.
Got it. So @MatB is a misreg. Check.
My thoughts exactly. I’m sick of seeing rich obnoxious idiots punt off money. It’s so much more fun to watch great players play great poker. I guess they need a few business men/whales in there but does it have to be the Eric Persons?

Interesting because a previous comment or post by him was along the lines of him having most of himself AND considering letting the backers off the hook for their share of the loss and just taking the pain.
Now he's sold "plenty", which to me sounds like "more" than him having the majority of his own action, but who knows?

Yeah, I guess when he said he had the majority of his action I was expecting he had 75% or greater
I dunno, but if I were him and this business NEEDED me to sit at stakes that are like 20x what I’m used to, just to promote the game, I’d say sure, give me a rack and I’ll play.
Isn’t that how it’s supppsed to work when you’re an “ambassador?” They buy you in?

He's a partial owner of The Lodge, but smaller than Dougs cut
That’s the person in poker who I like the least right now. He’s an ape. 50 year olds don’t need to wear skin tight shirts.
I have pokergo’s recent Cash of the Titans day 2 on in the background. Mostly just to watch the ass lose his money. And it’s easy to know when he’s in a hand because he can’t enter a pot without some snide remark, and then he keeps talking the rest of the time. The same kind of stupid bravado talk you hear from bullies at $1/2 tables around the world. So tired. This ass thinks he can table-talk Patrik Antonius out of his chips? Good luck, fish.

I must be getting old or not cool enough but I had no effin clue what that meant neither lol
Couldn’t agree more. The Person cringe level is on par with Jamie gold in the main event that he won and subsequent appearence at HSP where he desperately wanted to belong

If "being an ambassador" of a venue means risking six figures of my own money because you're struggling to find whales, then you can kindly be an ambassador of FuckoffVille.

Were they playing with a 72 win bonus?
The commentators said a few times throughout the video that they weren't

I've been following Brad for quite some time now. He has really jumped up to higher limits since the Lodge connection. Those games are the wild west down there compared to Vegas and other places that he's played at. I think his wheelhouse is in the $5/$10 or $10/$20 game. Doesn't sound like he's a multi millionaire to be able to handle the swings of a $100/$200 or $200/$400 game. Some of those guys play like it's Monopoly money.
He's making a ton of WPT ambassador and youtube money I'm sure, but I feel like Doug is pressuring him into these games that he's not comfortable with behind the scenes. That's what? $300,000+ in just two weeks down the drain? He officially lost all of his profits from 2022 now. He needs to take a break and move down in stakes for a bit.
