Andy was always a 100% correct gentleman. never complains, never rants. this is the first time i saw him really upset. uncalled for by Nick to come back at him like he did.
Yeah It's interesting the politics of the private game world, but I think high stakes pros need to be more accommodating and smart about it, robl has latched onto jrb and is able to play in the biggest games because of his relationships he's cultivated, poker is so toxic when predators want nothing but money poker I feel needs to be more social and lively and even if you are trying to win you gotta give a little to get what you want
@@julianvigil5276yea. Definitely shows a dynamic u would never think about or realize. Like u would think since it’s in a casino it’s an open game. Imo They should make it more open with more straddles.
Yea id say not a good look when all the winners are gone and the 3 big losers (of the night) were the last ones sitting there. Crazy! They shoulda told everyone Nik and Santosh had to leave early and all this coulda been avoided. Maybe they need a new person running this shit.

Well, he was threatening HCL publicly with not playing anymore if that happens again... Nick and/or Ryan kind of have to follow that up. Even though I prefer Andy way over Vertucci and extremely over airball, he is just in the wrong here. Jungle and Rampage handled it way better, even though Jungle lost more EV than Andy when they left

Biggest life lesson here in Poker. Ppl at the table who you casually converse with for weeks, laughing at your jokes, sharing dinner with you, thinking they’re your friends, aren’t. When LOTS of money is involved and you’re trying to take it from the same person, I’m sorry.

I give Andy credit for speaking up whenever he feels something is wrong. He had to talk to Ryan about Wesley buying in way short for one of their high limit games before.

At these stakes and with certain players, the politics, just like Andy said, comes into play. If they agreed to play for a certain amount of time, it should be known to everybody. Probably didn't want to tell them because others might not have played. Andy no doubt wouldn't have. These high stakes invite or private games have a lot more seriousness and etiquette than a casual stakes game out on the floor. Martin just bullshitted his way out. I definitely can side with Andy here.
That’s bs man not only did they not say if Andy knew you think he would have taken the early risky calls all while Nik and santhosh for that matter playing tight when they never do
I agree with Andy. If you agree to go on stream, you should only leave if you have a set amount to lose stated at beginning of the game or state your stay before action starts. So happy that santos and Airball booked losses on the 24 hr stream
if you watched the whole thing rampage said that he was told by ryan that santosh was going to leave early. Nik was already being a nit and wasnt giving any action and being salty so he just followed santosh.
I am starting to think HCL is losing its illustrious place in the eco, and an upstart stream with the foresight to avoid repeating its mistakes is on the horizon.
Agreed, Nick Vertucci’s ego is out of this world and he alone will sink the ship. Besides that, the game has had multiple scandals with more than 1 player being exposed as a cheat or scam artist as of today with Mars and Ryusuke revelations. The fact G-man has boycott it says a LOT about the games integrity now. In general I feel like the game has evolved into a much more toxic environment for the players, and it’s gone from being entertaining to being a shit show.
Andy is one of the most consistent people on HCL, he brings value to the stream. Imagine this : Your having a birthday party and your friends come and after they eat your cake and food, before you open the presents, they all leave without you to goto the bar. I’d be furious and he just look 600k….
In todays stream when santhosh got there dj says he through a private party and santhosh was there confirmed the fact why nik played tight and left to private game it was bs yesterday Andy wouldn’t do that
Please please please please please please keep inviting Martin keep him in country and let him play and tilt these f****** clowns. I want to see Airball freak out on him for doing the same stupid stuff he does to other people
I mean I know Andy’s point was right, but letting the whale like santoh do whatever he wants to do is part of the game. You can’t keep taking away their money and don’t entertain them and ask them to stay. You wanna play poker for living? Fine. Just know how to entertain the fish, and let them keep playing.
Would be a good idea to have a few backup players in the wing incase of this kind of situation. Makes sense to me, why should i be forced to play if someone is down a bunch of money LOL.
People that say you can leave anytime are just making excuses for being scumbags and hit and running. If i'm winning I always give a good heads up and try to keep the game going, especially in a home game setting. Casino is different but it's still bad etitiquite to hit and run and you should treat others the way you want to be treated. If I lose a buy in or two I want a chance to get it back so If I win it off others I"m not just gonna take off and let the game suffer. I've been at casinos where a person hit and running has ruined the game even at a casino. If everyone did it then cash game poker would simply not exist. The same thing that happened last night would happen every single time if people made a habit of this without replacement players
People like you who shame hit and running in casino games, are the same people that nit it up for an hour after winning and block the seat from legit action, because you're too scared to be disliked and just leave.
@@Andrew-yf3lu i don't care if people hit and run me. people shouldn't care if they hit and run some no action pro. but if a fun players gets mad by a hit and run don't hit and run him.
So you can't leave when you want just because that dude on the end is down a bunch of $. Why do they HAVE to stay? IS the rule you can't leave until everyone is eve.?
Everyone was there to take Nick Aliball’s money, if he’s not being the table sucker or leaves the game ends. Nick is down $8,000,000 and they expected him to increase it $12,000,000 That is all I saw.
We all know that cash poker games in a casino a player is allowed to leave whenever they want. That said, Live Stream being a whole new world, it is on HCL to protect their games and implement LiveStream Rules. Players must commit to a minimum of play time (unless they are down 2 min buys or more) and have a reliable backup bench waiting. If a player tells HCL ahead of time "I have to leave at 5pm it is on HCL to decide if their action is still worth it, announce it to the table at the start, and have backup players to step in. Even new blood on the outside dying to play on stream. I used to play in a home game where nobody was allowed to leave in the first 4 hours unless 2 min buys or more down. It was something agreed by all before the game even started and it was kinda nice that a guy couldn't run over the game for an hour then pack up and leave.
For this type of broadcast games, the rules should be clear to start with. Players should be informed that they have to play a certain number of hours before leaving if they are to be invited at the table. Pass that time limit, they could leave regardless of their chip situation. The broadcaster should provide replacement players if they plan on keeping the game going pass the minimum time limit to protect themselves from this type of debacle.
i think the commentators should’ve apologized on behalf of HCL to viewers for the game breaking. I, as a consistent viewer, looked forward to the game but was highly disappointed when people just left the table.
Rampage should have done tournament style heads up I think. 15 minutes for 15k and then start again maybe if no one else joins. Whoever wins more chips in the time wins the money could be fun. Maybe 20 minutes instead since you at least get 3-5 hands
Yo Alex any live poker vlogs coming? Although I appreciate some poker drama every now and then, I would much rather watch you crush some live poker or just goof off at the tables. I really enjoyed the all in episode. Peace.
thats why they need to implement a time limit like 3 hrs minimum to play for all the hit and running trash. i ran a 1.2 game for 15 yrs and thats how i made sure to keep most everyone happy. or implement a 30 min rule where u can only cash out b4 announcing 30 min that ur leaving. Because eventually nobody wants to play with the people that hit and run.
It's terrible for the game and if Everyone left after doubling up or winning a big pot then Poker just simply would not exist. No one would play if they knew they wouldn't get a chance to get their money back. This exact scenario would happen every time if people hit and run
@@Paul_ppbut how many times has Nik stayed when he was in Andy’s position. A lot. Andy was tilted and I get it but the players are not obligated to stay so Andy has a chance to win his money back.

Question is will Nick Air and Santosh leave early for the home game if they were down by a few hundred Gs?
Everyone was there to take Nick Aliball’s money, if he’s not being the table sucker or leaves the game ends.

Maybe if they fixed the door, people would want to play.
We all know that cash poker games in a casino a player is allowed to leave whenever they want. That said, Live Stream being a whole new world, it is on HCL to protect their games and implement LiveStream Rules. Players must commit to a minimum of play time (unless they are down 2 min buys or more) and have a reliable backup bench waiting.
If a player tells HCL ahead of time "I have to leave at 5pm it is on HCL to decide if their action is still worth it, announce it to the table at the start, and have backup players to step in. Even new blood on the outside dying to play on stream.
I used to play in a home game where nobody was allowed to leave in the first 4 hours unless 2 min buys or more down. It was something agreed by all before the game even started and it was kinda nice that a guy couldn't run over the game for an hour then pack up and leave.
For this type of broadcast games, the rules should be clear to start with. Players should be informed that they have to play a certain number of hours before leaving if they are to be invited at the table. Pass that time limit, they could leave regardless of their chip situation. The broadcaster should provide replacement players if they plan on keeping the game going pass the minimum time limit to protect themselves from this type of debacle.
Nick Vertucci... You look bad by telling a player not to state opinions. It's the classic duct taping fascist business owner tactic.
With Martin's history and reputation, why would he get invited to a game like this? Absolutely insane!
Are there different rules for this game from other cash games ie players can leave whenever they want?
😂😂 rampage “Do you think we’re not smart?” Martins excuse was such bullshit
It was brilliant 😂
smh the game was broken and that’s on Feldman
that was pretty hilarious @rampage. haha
Verdushie really gonna take sides he should shut up
i think the commentators should’ve apologized on behalf of HCL to viewers for the game breaking. I, as a consistent viewer, looked forward to the game but was highly disappointed when people just left the table.
Rampage decides it's a good decision to play Jungleman HU No limit Super high stakes. Good game selection.
HCL is starting to break my heart.. game was 2 big.. cant handle the emotions for the players.
Rampage should have done tournament style heads up I think. 15 minutes for 15k and then start again maybe if no one else joins. Whoever wins more chips in the time wins the money could be fun. Maybe 20 minutes instead since you at least get 3-5 hands
Missed your content brother! Glad to see you back.
Rampage stayed because he’s one of the few legit players left.
Yo Alex any live poker vlogs coming? Although I appreciate some poker drama every now and then, I would much rather watch you crush some live poker or just goof off at the tables. I really enjoyed the all in episode. Peace.
I’ve been posting live poker shorts, check them out! Also looking for a way to improve quality of vlogs before I start posting them again.
Andy is honest and absolutely right!!
The classic hit and run 🤣🤣🤣
It's only a matter of time before this all breaks out
*FunFact*
Martin's meeting was with Russ Hamilton
No, with me... I'm very smart. :]
Well done.
they should have other players to replace them. You can leave a game anytime.
Probably quite difficult to have many players nearby that even play those stakes!
It's not the same at high stakes dude...
Yes can leave cash games whenever, but shit different for live streams
Rampage also plays super tight but no one seems to have any issue with that?
He was NOT playing super tight let alone tight lol
@@AlexDuvall lol okay. To each his own.
Its his money, he can do whatever he wants
Andy 100% right. Comes down to poker etiquette
where can i watch this? jungle rampage and andy 3 handed would be awesome to watch
Link to full stream in description
Sorry I was in the wrong that night. I should have stayed and finished the stream. Shout out to my boi Alex!
Never invite Martin again. Takes hour lunch and hits and runs
thats why they need to implement a time limit like 3 hrs minimum to play for all the hit and running trash. i ran a 1.2 game for 15 yrs and thats how i made sure to keep most everyone happy. or implement a 30 min rule where u can only cash out b4 announcing 30 min that ur leaving. Because eventually nobody wants to play with the people that hit and run.
Well that’s the end of Andy on HCL. If he has any self respect left he won’t return after all of this
He is currently playing on the stream lol
Wait Airball left up? Is it the fact that he left up or that he left early?
HCL is finally on the the downhill and honestly haven’t watched since G Man got robbed
Lol got robbed..you mean got his soul shattered by a twat 😂
I believe a player can leaving whenever they want, but it SUCKS when you're down
It's terrible for the game and if Everyone left after doubling up or winning a big pot then Poker just simply would not exist. No one would play if they knew they wouldn't get a chance to get their money back. This exact scenario would happen every time if people hit and run
@@Paul_ppbut how many times has Nik stayed when he was in Andy’s position. A lot. Andy was tilted and I get it but the players are not obligated to stay so Andy has a chance to win his money back.
No they can’t, there is ethics. Especially when you played the same group of people.
Well you’re wrong
@@Paul_ppok snowflake
WTF is Nick saying, They let that shit happen on there show, in there game, that they host. Its wild they even let it happen
Jungle was getting on Nik’s nerves which I think why he left. Don’t blame him, I would have too
Soon as Nik left, viewing ceased 😅😂😅
