This has to be the worst fold in the history of televised/streamed poker

Wait until you see him fold aces to Mariano
I just don’t understand how you can fold kings on that board. Ever for any amount.
Looks like someone is having bankroll management issues 😮

Nah he clearly was trolling the joke is that he was lying and is rich. The guy clearly has millions.
In 2 years Nik will be at a 2/5 game telling stories about how he used to stack pros. Slurring his words wearing stained sweatpants.

Even if Nik was involved in criminal enterprise it’s highly unlikely unless he was at the top of the food chain he would be able to risk such huge stakes on a live stream without at least being concerned about getting snapped, this man does not strike as someone who is acting covert in the slightest, my guess is he’s come into large amount of money which will be gone in the 6-9 months.

It’s never been explained clearly how Airball went from being a scared rec, capable of folding the nuts to a 10k river raise, to a player capable of bluff jamming high 6 figures and bankrolled with infinite cash in just a matter of a few months.

This wasn't being scared. It was very exploitative. This was when Rampage just started playing at these stakes and Nik didn't think someone who was playing 1/3 a couple years ago would make this bluff at these stakes.

QQ/AA/2X all of which are possible when Ur name is airball and u didn't raise back pre. The plan worked only to fold? Damn. Take the L if he has those hands and move on.
Wow Nick made Berkey look tiny at the start lol 😂
Nik is the classic guy coming at the table wasting his last money with big mouth playing any two cards of course winning for a bit then eventually losing it all and then call everybody donkeys 😂
Rob, I like you, but you hyped this up 100x more than it actually was. We all know Nik has had a sudden influx of money. I used to play with him at MUCH lower stakes. Doesn’t prove he is a fraud.
Might be worse than the A♣️K♠️ Nit Vertucci fold!

Ok I scrolled pretty far down the comments and didn't see this theory so I'll say it. Nik speaks fluent Chinese (Mandarin I think) and has been involved in getting Chinese gamblers onto the stream that can't even speak English. I'd say there's a good chance his money is connected to his Chinese connections. He's likely been invited to and played at the Chinese gambling games and those typically feature some true whales from what I've heard, perhaps he wins huge in those games or enough to where a Chinese whale invested into his LA poker character and told him to help give access to more Chinese tourist players.

This is an old video clip for everyone who thinks this just happened. Notice Garrett at the table lol. This video shows that he started out with a medium bankroll and now has millions to play with. If I was to guess he is being bankrolled by Ben or some other tycoon.

This was the introduction to Airball a few years ago. He's gotten a lot better since.
How do you fold in that spot, thats nutz. This was early on tho.
good god what a fold?! also, picking up your cards and playing with them like that should be against house rules, a lot of people can do weird things with cards, keep them there on the table in plain sight
yo man Ive been living under a rock, what have I missed?
Then ask how he came up from 2/5 when he was scraping a buyin together cause YT rev surley doesn’t cut it although he get 6 figures yearly I imagine
This video is irrelevant to the story line as this video is very old
this hand was like year ago? He probably got in some good games since

When we flat a hand like pocket kings, we're inviting aggression from our opponent. If you're not going to call them down, then why flat? Just 3-bet the hand like a normal person. On a run-out like this, you're just not worried about many hands. I don't understand how this is anything other than a snap call
I don't get it, i thought it was some kind of slowroll by nik.
Rampage's facial expression is priceless after the hand. It's like how do you fold KK in that spot?
the mere sight of him throwing those chips around makes me vomit
That was one of the worst folds of a Snap-Call hands I have ever seen !
Seems like a straight forward call. I don't understand he's deliberating for so long.

it's pretty self explanatory.. cuz Garett was playing.. he didn't want to play a 1mill pot vs Garrett.. it's a very common routine or procedure (from my private game experience) playing 5/10nl i average buy-in when line up are tough... i buy in for 20-30k when there are no big bad wolves are around.. ur stacks are rarely in play when "big bad wolves" are not in the lineup

Nik is a very insecure person who covers it up with hostility.
He buys in deep all the time still. Not sure why he keeps asking the question?
Wasnt this over a year ago? Not to defend the worst human to ever get any attention ever.
No way Nik fold that hand. More than exposed
Matt Berkey would FOOK Nik up, BAD.. Physically or playing any poker game..
Rampage is the exact opposite of his nickname.
