I hope you know she let you win with that fold. She never folds that fast.

Oh god Robbi is there. Check to make sure she isn’t vibrating on time out chips 😂

are you earning more than you are losing overall ?

I ended up cutting this out of final version when I explained that I actually sold 70% of my action and had people wire me the money so I could play.

Video was well done and funny! That being said beating Maria Ho, kind of nit player, is not that much of an accomplishment.

well its girlfriend money anyway.

Yea she ain’t the queen of poker😂

Losing 13K to win a hand against anyone who folded before the flop isn't worth the story. I'm guessing there is some "yellow fever" going on here and simping to say you had the "honor" of playing and lose isn't something you (or any man) should be striving for especially since she didn't have anything to do with you. Losing and winning (the swings) are normal but the way you make Maria Ho out isn't.
