I don't know about Harry, but Lex plays a lot at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood (near Ft. Lauderdale). Anthony plays at the Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa.Maybe not the same casino you’re at though. There’s Lex O and Harry B at Florida.

Rampage is a good example of what happens when someone wins a bracelet and then vastly overrates themselves.Rampage seems like a lot of what he does is "well, fuck it, I have bottom pair, I call........oh, got there!"

It's either that, or it's all an act to get action. But given his play on a recent The Lodge livestream, I really think it's the former. Also, watch his video from him running his bracelet... He played quite poorly.
I feel like you can tell when someone is fairly representing their play or strictly trying to entertain.Plus Vloggers can carefully edit what you see and what you don't. So they can paint a picture that isn't complete, for the sake of entertainment
There's a local guy who binked a tourney in Tampa and now he plays the highest stakes for PLO and NLHE cash games
He is absolutely fearless, but overly aggressive in my limited experiences with him in PLO, and doesn't have great hand selection when going to war
To be fair, rampage never claims to be good. In fact, he often says he’s the oppositeI feel like you can tell when someone is fairly representing their play or strictly trying to entertain.
I think Brad, Vibes, Neeme, Lok, tend to be pretty honest. I think Brad's goofy forced humor is kinda funny personally.
Jaman and Rude are clearly just for entertainment as they don't try to analyze their hands very seriously.
Mariano is somewhere in between, but I think leans toward the former.
But Rampage comes off as wanting to be in the first category, but does not seem honest at all about his ability. And he doesn't do anything interesting with his Vlogs to make them pure entertainment like Jaman or Rude.
Btw, why not play NLHE?
Andrew Lok and Adam Rude.To be fair, rampage never claims to be good. In fact, he often says he’s the opposite
Never heard of lok or rude. What are their full names or YouTube channels?
How does the PLO player pool compare to the NLHE one in terms of size?Because 2 cards for me is:
1. Boring
2. Less profitable
The gamblers and degens are attracted to PLO, and I find it easier to profit, or even get unstuck, in PLO vs hold em games
The smaller pool of players means I usually know if a table is good or bad, and how to exploit my opponents tendencies

Is that enough to sustain a stable income?We usually only get 2-5 tables running, out of a room with almost 50 tables
So you're going to see a lot of the same faces frequently
Is that enough to sustain a stable income?
once the fish stop playing, only sharks are left and win rates drop?
Fish that play 2/5 and higher, tend to have the income to keep playing those stakes. Fish at 1/2 and 1/3 are more plentiful, but also tend to go legit broke (as far as their poker money).Is that enough to sustain a stable income?

That's basically what I meant. I'm talking mainly about the people that buy in for $100 at a time in 1/2.True, but the recreationals also have jobs outside of poker. So they don't go "bust" because they don't have dedicated poker bankrolls. They just think "I have x amount of money burning a hole in my pocket, I feel like playing some poker, I'm gonna hit the casino this weekend!"
And then they dust it off, and have to wait for their next paycheck to try again.
What’s your best guess for the % of the player pool that’s profitable?
I was thinking getting your wheel+tire stolen, but yeah, COVID shutdown did suck for you, @Anthony Martino.What about your most challenging, non bad beat and non losing session related, moment?

After about the third time I heard, "Hey guys, it's your boy Ethan" I started skipping past the talk and just watching his poker hands.But Rampage comes off as wanting to be in the first category, but does not seem honest at all about his ability.

TBH, I find it helpful to watch good and bad players, and to listen to how they view their own play and the play of others at the table. But he's way down the list for me - I mostly watch Neeme, Burton, and Fischl.
I was giggling like a schoolgirl when Jaman started posting again. I love his videos, and I probably have a small man-crush on him.
He’s more produced than the others, but doesn’t describe his thought process in hands as much. Some of his play is odd to me. I get a little bored when he isn’t talking.Gonna have to watch Jaman, never seen him
With the exception of a couple of cartoon-style videos he did right before going dark for eight months because COVID, he is consistently entertaining to watch and provides pretty good insight on why he plays hands the way he does.Gonna have to watch Jaman, never seen him
He doesn't go deep into his thought process like Neeme, but he does talk a lot about table conditions and his views/reads on other players. I also like the style of his videos, and I find him personally entertaining.He’s more produced than the others, but doesn’t describe his thought process in hands as much.
