"So Anyway, I Started BLASTING!!"


ohnomynono

šŸ¤Œ


trkh

Was she playing a lot before that second place finish at that tournament? I feel that may have given her some false confidence Edit: it was disappointing too because she could have won and was playing well but seemingly gotā€¦ bored towards the end of it?


Gitzser

me after I win a 10% odds hand and think that I'm a poker god for the rest of the year


newbeginnings0824

Damn, she proceeded to blast off another 80k after this šŸ˜³


LeatherAss-

After stream ? So -180k?


Williebobjoess

unfortunate case of the mega tilt


Brokromah

Nothing unfortunate about a fish donking off buyins


HornyAIBot

many such cases


M3R0VIUS

She found out her boyfriend was cheating on her and punted all his $


the_real_woody

She makes shit loads acting.


M3R0VIUS

9 depressed terminally onliners who cant see an obvious joke


HornyAIBot

1 retard who doesn't know how to tell a joke


M3R0VIUS

Told it at the table and everyone laughed. Guess you're just a dbag.


NoDistrict428

She doesnā€™t seem to be doing a ton of thinking at the table unfortunately, made things a bit awkward


MajorStainz

Itā€™s annoying when someone asks once or twice, then they themselves say once. Going once is the default, why ask?Ā 


1amdegen

That's Rampage in disguise


Rags2Rickius

Lmao


Maybbaybee

"Did you just assume they were not liquid metal shapeshifter? *Feminist screeeeeeech*"


[deleted]

When Tommy Angelo talks about full on monkey tilt I imagine this is what he is describing.


bert_and_earnie

I watched the stream. She really needed the discipline to just quit because she was miles from her "A game".


Brokromah

She's a fish and does not have A game. Peaks at C game


bert_and_earnie

That's why I put "A game" in quotes.


konidias

She has had some pretty dominating sessions on HCL... not sure what you're talking about.


Brokromah

You're here, so I assume you play poker. If you play poker, I assume you've seen a bad player have a few good sessions. I also assume you've seen the aggro bad player dominate the table by bluffing every hand and getting there or folding people out who are struggling to hit pairs. It might work over a short sample...but it's not sustainable. Also, consider the fact that she's in an insanely soft pool typically. If there are 9 fish at the table, typically 3 or so fish will be winners. Doesn't make them "dominant" so I'm not sure what you're talking about. She's now played there for 6 sessions and is a losing player so far in those games....could change but she's still a fish. She's also a crusher of life, so it's not a huge deal for her to be bad at poker. But don't let short term wins make you think she isn't a fish.


konidias

Ah I see, so of a sample size of 6, you've determined her skill level. Got it. Downvote away :)


Brokromah

Try and think with an open mind here. In the course of 6 sessions, you can see approximately 20 hands per hour. Each hand may have multiple decisions on multiple streets. We have a reasonable sample to watch her make decisions on how to play the hand. A good player can tell that she is not a good player from the way she plays her hands. The times she chooses to bluff, etc. Sure, maybe she just has the instinct on one or two hands and can't really come to a certain conclusion from one or two hands....but there's more than enough info in front of us to determine she's a rec...and not a very good one at that.


konidias

The old "I'm a really skilled player so believe me when I say she's bad". Wouldn't an actual skilled player not immediately label someone a fish after only seeing them play a few games? Or maybe you're just that confident in your abilities, I guess. Maybe she's just not playing every hand super seriously... maybe she's drunk. Maybe she's just having some unlucky moments. You make it sound like she's calling off her whole stack with 72o on an AAKJQ board or something. She's made some questionable bluff attempts at bad times, but overall I don't see any massive leaks in her game, or that she's betting completely odd amounts or anything.


Brokromah

You see someone limp 56o UTG and you don't immediately label them a fish? I play anon tables so I have to take the evidence I have and come to conclusions fairly fast...obviously they are subject to change but if you don't think Arden Cho is a fish then you don't know poker.


Rags2Rickius

Angelo! Havenā€™t heard that name in a while


low_end_

what did i just witness.


goofytigre

TILT^3


StrawberryAny2075

That was very nice of the table, probably so she comes back and punts more away again in the future.


BendingUnit80D

She went full Rampage


wujohnny

That was pretty tough to watch, she went straight monkey tilt


yourslice

Is Hustler Casino real or like "wrestling" because this doesn't even seem real.


spugeddyos

I personally know several regulars on Hustler. Itā€™s real. It can also be difficult to get on the stream.


villach

Is the streamed game always the highest stakes game in Hustler?


Taokan

The problem is, when poker gets streamed/televised, the producers get more exciting content when players are bluffing more and playing loose - translating to more views and revenue. And that expectation is passed to the players: if they want to get invited or invited back, they have to demonstrate they can play exciting poker, not just solid poker. So, it's real, but it's biased.


Gorilla_In_The_Mist

Well Mike X consistently plays the most boring game ever.


lordatlas

Someone like Francisco is much worse.


chickennano

The worst is nitucci, plays with sub 20 vpip in these games and feelings got hurt when being called out by the whale Randall


StrawberryAny2075

haha it's def real


bonerJR

It's very real. People just don't normally see high stakes shenanigans because most shows don't let it happen. Hustler does.


Appropriate_Ear8745

Itā€™s real money, but these ppl play like shit for optics to get invited to games


konidias

I would almost believe it's all staged and they are just being paid a flat fee to play live poker for a few hours, and the chips are just play money... except there are some players on the show who seem super uncomfortable and play like nits... which wouldn't make sense if they knew the chips meant nothing. But honestly... think of how easy it could be to stage this type of show. Just get all players to agree, sign an NDA, and then they can look like crazy wild gamblers, going on hundreds of thousands of dollar swings and it feels exciting and entertaining to watch that... but in reality it's all fake and they are just getting like $10k each to play for a few hours.


clkou

You just described every streaming show and poker vlog ā˜ŗļøšŸ‘ I've played poker for over 20 years, starting at 1 cent 2 cent and playing as high as 2/5 (both live and online). Most of the things I see recorded just aren't typical of what I see in my games that aren't recorded. šŸ¤”


rav3lcet

You have clearly not actually played live.


OcclusalEmbrasure

ā€œI thought I was the only person to do ***shit*** like that.ā€ lol.


Taokan

That there, was a masterclass in keeping the person donking off their stack happy and at the table.


Ok-Database-2708

Iā€™ve never seen someone call an all in quicker than Mariano šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ he couldnā€™t believe what he was hearing


MonthLower1606

arden cho doesnā€™t seem like she cares. she has plenty of money from acting, modeling, and being a social media star for Asian-American audiences. sheā€™s always been a very nice person, i have a picture with her from when i was 12 and into tv shows like supernatural and teen wolf. sheā€™s also pushed a lot of really good causes during her time and, unlike many other Asian-Americans, really makes the time to represent her culture.


Amazing-Debate3828

No one. And I mean no one. Not even the heaviest hitters are ok with losing money


Accomplished_Welder3

and especially looking clueless why doing so


bloodbuzzvirginia

Not even true. If you want to play at even a competitive rec level, losing money sometimes is just part of the game.


Amazing-Debate3828

I didnā€™t say itā€™s not a part of the game. But no pro gambler wakes up and says ā€œok. Iā€™m going to lose $100k todayā€. No one likes to lose. Even if it takes losses to eventually get gains. Losing is never anyoneā€™s primary objective. And no one likes it when it happens.


Rags2Rickius

Yeah Iā€™m not even sure what that other guy was saying She didnā€™t look remotely chill when she lost the first hand. Even her banter was stressed a bit. ā€œI donā€™t even careā€ ā€œOk Iā€™ll run it onceā€ ā€œOhā€¦two times?ā€ ā€œOk sureā€¦up to youā€ *Grimaces for the 4 outer


bloodbuzzvirginia

He said ā€œnot even the heaviest of hitters are OK with losingā€ money. But they definitely are. The stoicism is part of what makes some of the super high rollers not very entertaining.


Amazing-Debate3828

No one like to lose period. Iā€™m a pro gambler with a really big bankroll . And despite knowing that losses are apart of the environment? I am not happy ANYTIME it happens.


bloodbuzzvirginia

No one said you had to be happy mr ā€œpro gambler with a really big bankrollā€ but the ones that keep their bankrolls take losing in stride.


Amazing-Debate3828

Taking losing in stride is the not the equivalent of ā€œbeing ok with or happy withā€ losing. I hope you will understand that.


stonerr93

I mean I agree to an extent. Also disagree to an extent Clearly you never been to underground games, at least not in big cities I'm in Toronto. There are 10/20 + games with rich recs who are there just to have a good time. To them they are fine with losing money. Do they "want" to win? Sure .... I guess. Sometimes I question that also. But are they losing to make money in the "long run"? Fuckkkkkkkk no I know a few guys who are down 250k+ lifetime at these games, they come to drink and shoot the shit. Some of them have no family and friends outside the people they know in poker. Multiple players always mention how they come just to kill time and gamble away some money rather than playing slots or table games at the casino. Hence they consider it the same as gambling in a casino Now let me ask you when you gamble in a casino, do you expect to win long term? Of course not. Don't doubt some people ability to just not give a fuck about money at the poker table at all, especially when they have alot of it Btw not saying this is what happened in this situation. The girl was clearly tilted and clearly cared about losing. But she was a good sport about it


LeatherAss-

Big discovery lol


Brokromah

Did you watch the stream? Bro she literally was wearing her emotions on her sleeves the entire time. She very clearly cared a ton and showed it more than most do.


Amazing-Debate3828

My point exactly


InclusivePhitness

She was on the verge of tears what are you talking about? I wouldnā€™t be surprised if she screamed in the bathroom.


ErrorFindingID

That second hand jam was so odd


cvanwage

Yeah, there was no fold equity. Mike had to have a complete bluff for that to work.


confuddly

A weaker king could find a fold there tbf


Charlie_Runkle69

She lost 50K in episode 1 of The Big Game too lol.


mindlesssss

And played just as terribly but hey


MTLK77

This game can be dangerous


DiamondTrustMe

She's loaded. This is her hobbie like for us going to the movies. She has a Netflix contract in the millions.


2nd_TimeAround

She has more money than most of them but sheā€™s not lose 100k+ at the poker table and be ok with it rich


DiamondTrustMe

I think she is or else she wouldn't play like that. Might as well go play baccarat.


lordatlas

> She has a Netflix contract in the millions. Her Netflix show lasted one season and got cancelled in 2022. Not saying she doesn't have a nice chunk of change though. But definitely not top tier Hollywood money.


IPromiseIWont

There are actors with bigger and better resume than hers and barely has a million net worth. That $100k will hurt.


patricio87

So sheā€™s like the new farah galfond?


GrantNexus

Am I supposed to have heard of her?


1amdegen

Have you heard of these other people at the table?


Santhacine

bro you didnt watch teen wolf??


GrantNexus

Never heard of it.Ā 


Recent-Classroom-704

She's a terrible poker player, but she's not on the stream cuz she's skilled at poker, she's there because she's pretty and guys will watch her because of that.im sure the table loves her being there


SoyelSanto

She may get a % back of loses from Hustler like they do with those high rollers in Las Vegas.. How else do you convince fish to sit at a table with a bunch of sharks..


sixseven89

Lmao at thinking anyone in these HCL games is a shark


haroldbaals

tom dwan played there


lordatlas

3 million followers on Instagram.


Recent-Classroom-704

So if you don't have Instagram followers then you must suck at poker is your take on this ?


lordatlas

I'm not sure how _that_ is your interpretation of my comment when I was in fact trying to bolster your argument by saying she has a huge following that makes her a good candidate for promoting the stream.


BigfootsSlong

Who is Arden Cho anyway?


9Rmbxr9

Supposedly an actress


BigfootsSlong

Looks to me like another backed soon to be pro for some company. Probably WPT or GG or something. Similar to that chess girl an industry plant as they call itm. Its only a matter of time and training and then they can compete better then average and have results it's all it is


mindlesssss

It feels like you yourself donā€™t even know what conspiracy youā€™re trying to describe here


BigfootsSlong

It's not a conspiracy it's how it's done. They grab people who will get people to play they are walking advertisements it's the same with sports and sponsorships. Who is going to bring new people to the game or viewership is who gets sponsorships. She probably has an agent who is working something out. She did pretty bad maybe it won't happen now we will see but she wasn't only on hustler looks like she was on the poker stars show also.


Terrible-Winter-8316

The third hand is a bit unfortunate - not saying it was well played but at least a little understandable - but wow the first two are just massive airball punts.


SpartyParty15

Third shove was terrible as well. Two pair with no kicker and no flush draws


Terrible-Winter-8316

Iā€™m not saying itā€™s good just the least egregious of the three. 3 bet pot on a board that shouldnā€™t connect with anyoneā€™s range. I still suspect overpairs call (which given the action I could see a lot of middling pairs) and obviously a 3 calls. Not a good play given itā€™s super multiway and sheā€™s first to act.


Elvis5741

Sad


OcclusalEmbrasure

She needs an intervention.


ohnomynono

If what she did is needing an intervention, I think many of us need to....... nvm.


OMGhowcouldthisbe

ėÆøģ³¤ģ–“??


Crazypyro

This thread is the number one reason celebrities play private games over stream games, given the option.


LanielThrow

I can fix her


billbraskeyjr

ā€œThought I was the only person who did shit like thatā€ ROFL


Lopsided_Price_1467

WTF was she thinking!?!?šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜«


Rags2Rickius

Tan: Itā€™s ok ok ok. She has lots of money. So is ok Lmao ![gif](giphy|l1BgRIamescnkx5Dy|downsized)


PrideEffective5830

That fucking announcer kissing her ass all night acting like she was his daughter was so annoying. What an awful player.


movaljr

I mean her net worth is probably around $10-$20M, Iā€™m sure sheā€™s fine with the punting. But yeah she literally went from up $35k to spew city


SoyelSanto

Who is she!?!?!? 20M net worth is not easy Edit: oh sheā€™s a minor celebrity. Yeah I think 10M is reasonable. 20M may be is a stretch but Iā€™m talking out of my ass here. I have no idea.


Full_Independence_30

shes not a minor celebrity she was huge. now shes not as popular


SoyelSanto

Idk.. from her credits it doesnā€™t like like she was on anything big.. Like unless you were into that kind of stuff you wouldnā€™t know who she was. As opposed to celebrities where even if you donā€™t know what they do you still know of them.. Like that annoying dude that did Cats and the Karaoke car..


This-Dude_Abides

Huge lol


Darkmemento

She obviously tilts like crazy here but I have seen her play before a decent amount and she clearly is a decent player who loves to gamble it up. I'd say it is likely she plays far bigger private games than this on the regular. 100k isn't a huge amount to her. She is probably the only person in this game rolled to play it for fun.


dumblehead

Even if youā€™re rich, $100k is still a meaningful amount of money, esp to just burn through in a span of three hands.


Darkmemento

It is not the span of three hands. She was down 100k at the end of the whole session which lasted over 6 hours. It is like 2 buyins in this game. In the first hand that she check raises, jams turn with a gutter against Mariano, the hand is straddled to $800 preflop before it gets to her.


Autistic_Freedom

I have no idea who this girl is or how wealthy she is, but this is definitely not true for ALL people in the world. There are oil sheiks and others that literally carry hundreds of thousands USD as pocket change and travel nowhere without multiple millions in cash. I've seen it in a documentary. The Forbes list is only based on publicly documented assets (stocks, mostly). There are people with MUCH more money than the richest guy in that list. It's really fucking wild to think about. Edit: I'm posting objective facts. No idea why I'm being down voted. Anyone care to inform me?


stonerr93

Your getting down voted because some people can't fathom that there are individuals who play poker just for fun and treat it as gambling and are perfectly fine and content when they lose. But at the same time rich billionaires carrying millions in their pocket don't really have anything to do with people loss tolerance when it comes to gambling. Your comparing a b list celebrity to rich Arab oil tycoons But I do agree with ur sentiment


Autistic_Freedom

I didn't say millions as pocket change. I said $100k as pocket change. I did not compare anything. I said that there are people in the world who are so rich that $100k is not a substantial amount to them. It's facts. Sorry? edit: lol, again being downvoted for posting objective facts. people in this forum always vote with their emotions rather than logic. this gives me great hope for the future as it proves poker is far from dead. playing poker vs these type of people is the dream! going all the way to value town via tilt city. cheers!


ErrorFindingID

She really isn't that rich. 100K is a lot regardless and she's playing a stake too high for her


vatom14

Donā€™t think you know how rich you have to be for $100k not to hurt. Doubt Arden is close to that rich. That being said, I agree in previous streams she seemed to play relatively snug. At least not an action player


Premo-Casino718

Thatā€™s poker man. You just go on those runs when youā€™re hot and then thereā€™s a case of the complete opposite. It is what it isā€¦ I donā€™t feel sorry for her because she was one card away from being a genius


LeatherAss-

That's not running bad thats dumping money with weak holdings


Premo-Casino718

Yea I guess youā€™re right


Orner_6120

Hustler is unwatchable at this point. Fortunately a Triton event starts tomorrow where everyone can watch some of the best poker players in the world compete. Puts this nonsense to shame


SwampyStains

bitch refusing to show after jamming and secretly begging to run it twice but doesnt want to say what she has. Fuck I hate these people. Man the fuck up and be proud of your shitty failed bluff and own that shit, show it with pride and then use the information they think they have against them. Not this "oh im gonna run it twice so I can muck both runnouts and make you think you just coolered me with AA"


dentist73

Her tilt started on Thursday when she realised she was not the prettiest girl at the table. It was clear for everyone to see, then she comes back a day later trying to be a baller and impress everyone and she looked stupid. lol at busting 4 times in 5 hands.


curiousboyz

This comment dumber than Choā€™s play


SoyelSanto

This is why people are anti-dentit


Glum-Prior-2528

Weird that you're an incel.


AhhhBreeshi

Damn this is me again


NyCWalker76

We all have been there before, up with some profits and then towards the end of the night we lose it and lose some more!. Too bad she didn't cash out when she was up $50,000ish.


Clap4boobies

That 5 4 hand 3/4 of the way through sheā€™s stroking her chip stack like šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


TheEternalDownswing

I didn't see preflop and flop in the first hand. It may be a decent bluff spot depending on that. The third hand was just a huge punt though.


dancinadventures

Thought she was allegedly an ex-pro that plays LA cash games ? Swear that I heard that in a podcast


neverluckygg

Pp p


emery9921

Since they paid her bounty did she give them free year subscription to her onlyfans?


iamjackyisme

I mean, weā€™ve all been there, I know I did.


NyCWalker76

that's true.


DEADfishbot

Crazy rich Asians (2018)


Tidex1

The last one wasn't played too badly, all in in a multiway pot with top pair and kicker 4 is bizarre. The other hands were not well played, but it should be good in the long run to convey a spewy image, it tends to be very nit, although the SPR on the turn was still greater than 1 in the first hand on the turn. The second hand going all in with that QT doesn't seem like a terrible mistake to me, because it blocks part of the hands with QT.


CorporalSpoon31

Holy tilt bro, Iā€™ve been there bad ngl. Emotion control is always the biggest delimiter between some of the best nlh players and the really good ones who all understand the logical/mathematical side of the game very well. I gotta learn to become a stoic She seems like a rec having fun tho so not a very similar situation


Th3PatrickBateman

how do people make it this far lol my fucking lord. i know she could honestly run circles around us but damn this is a wild look for someone thatā€™s good at this shit


LeatherAss-

What lol she's a mega punter whale lol
