Is there a stream where Airball makes big money? I certainly do not remember one. Remember a lot of big downswings.

As I've said before, most big cash game players have gone broke many times, we are just seeing it in real time via this format thanks to their coverage and vlogging.

That is a fact. A roller coaster ride that someone has to hope for big ups while keeping downfalls to a minimum if at all possible. These guys don't ever take a break from the game after a heavy loss, but its their money so they can do as they please. The stress can age a player in the face and it shows. Best of luck to anyone out there taking the risk.

This is why you want guaranteed money. Paid sponsorships, selling merch, YT revenue. Rampage had always been an entertaining character, but he's had a fair bit of luck to soften some of the blows while playing over his head.

When luck runs out, reality kicks in. Rampage should focus on improving his poker game to play in these high-roller games

He’s a good tournament player from my observation. But cash game is totally different…

Upswing will be short lived. He doesn't have skill to keep at a winning trajectory. Problem is, this big win will just keep him addicted

Thanks for a cut of the stream. Ive been watching poker videos for many years now, and i always seem to come to your videos. Always current and factual and without annoying poker site plugs. I appreciate your stuff, good luck moving forward

On a downswing? Need to turn your luck around? Find Airball and get HEALTHY real quick 🤣

people playing poker with anywhere near their networth are so bad for influence on viewers thinking that is normal.

In any gambling addiction, you winning a lot is just digging the hole deeper. Because you cant stop there. And if you lose it all back and more, you cant stop there either because you believe the huge upswing will eventually happen again. ...even when it drains you to your very last penny. Youll be borrowing money and selling personal items to stay in that rush of Action.

Ya only down 750k now. Ha ha ha. Downswing still in effect

rampage is surely gonna go bust soon, he played awful and just got a lucky preflop cooler. He's so used to getting lucky he's just playing every hand awfully

I think he’s a decent player just too aggressive in most pots and make really bad bluff

Rampage said I played lower stake like 10/20, 20/40, I lost every session. That is a good indicator that he is playing over his abilities when he doesn't have Nik Airball to help him out with even more baf play. Guys like Jungle man, Henry, Andy will have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Amateur player skill but with more aggression than most player at his level.

Yeah I mean I leave that up for you guys to decide

He found a game he could beat. No reason to believe that will continue.

Nick Airball is indeed really good friend, he helped restored Rampage's confidence and finally ended Rampage "downswing" period.

Many people don’t understand,Rampage lets people buy stakes of the actions which he can stream online on his channel but those people that bought the stakes won’t get anything from the his channel,so it doesn’t really hurt him that much

@kyletang2758

2 ай бұрын

But for NikAirball he will have to commit fraud soon

Thinking that since Airball only called the $1200 bet from Rampage initially, it made it less likely that he had AA or KK and much more likely he had AK or AQ!

@gallagherk11

2 ай бұрын

From Rampage’s interview at the end it doesn’t seem that was part of his thought process for making the call though haha

His problem now is he will NEVER be able to go down in stakes.

KQo was a great fold.

Never give up Never surrender!!!!❤ only way you loose is if you stop believing in yourself.

I love when airball says “how do you just call kings”… because you will shove 2200BB with AKo, that’s why he will call kings lol

8:30 Airball saying 'I'm dead', would piss me off so much as Rampage. Like if you got kings and someone says that you assume they have like Kx or something. (Without the ace) It is very easy to hit an ace and be ahead here. 28% 3 ways is not terrible to be honest. Obviously could be better but it's not bad at all.

Dr P - Shove Rampage - Call Nik (*9 seconds ticks off) - Re-shoves Rampage (*in less than a second) - Calls for nearly 1/4 $1 million

Hand 1: Poor choice of opponent but perfectly fine against a good, balanced opponent who has a balanced 4-bet range. Hand 2: River is a give-up, Airball is probably not even folding AT against him there. Hand 3: No mistakes, it's a cooler either way. Hand 4: No mistakes. Hand 5: No mistakes, btw Airball's shove is fine considering Rampage can have hands like JJ and AQs that call-fold.

I have a downswing since December 2023 ,really bad but rampage get s a 200.000$ + pot here so not for real a downswing

It's 2024

Don't think anyone was having more good or bad luck but think Rampage might have been far less reckless than he has been in the past. Think in the past he's risked it on hands that surprised many people. More you rely on luck the less you probably will win...it's not a kind mistress as often as people think. Only met one professional gambler & often wondered about how their brain is wored differently than others...it'd be too much of a roller coaster vs a wrecking ball if I relied on it for income. Some are very calculating players, some are a bit more agressive risk takers...some are a bit reckless. some players will have careers as long as Doyle did but they will probably be very disciplined in their ranges, might avoid reckless bets & should if they're successful players spot an opponents reckless bet. Seen player videos comment on other players styles, it must be something they study. You'd think then it'd be easier to study & therefore beat the likes of Ivey & a dozen others...wouldn't count on it. I really love watching poker videos & never thought it'd turn into a great spectator sport. I love seeing how it works, but I don't play Maybe if a person is not well trained (whatever the hell that actually is), well practiced, well disciplined & good at spotting other people's plays, hiding their own plays...maybe they're going to have their abilities & aspirations mixed up and suffer. I wish there was real science as to the annual return on investment for each player...might be big surprises (good & bad) amongst the top level players. Used to very much dislike the more loud obnoxious players but not so much now as I do wonder how much of that is actually theatre & part of their game play to test others & assess others(?). Luck might not be as significant as we think but it might be enough to wipe some less disciplined players out of a game...ahhh I don't personally know anyone who should consider it as career but its clearly (I think) good for some. Its often long stretches of concentration. It must be draining at a certain point. Its quite a thing to behold. Thanks for sharing your videos.

Every session can be made or destroyed on 1 huge pot.

Me too. I dont like twice thing. Open it until the deck is empty Bwahaha

Hurrah

Running it twice there give him 10 cards to hit an ace.... I hate it.

Nik tried to do a weak ass slow role in that spot by saying he was dead to Rampages KINGS like he didn't have ace/king there. I guarantee if the flop came ace high and Nik scooped that pot, he would've slow rolled Rampage. Even though Ethan has been on such a huge down swing, Nik was STILL looking for an opportunity to be a 🗑. I'm glad Ethan POPPED HIM on that hand. Especially after Nik's speech earlier in that session how he was telling Francisco NEVER to sit deep with him because he will scare him out the pot EVERY time with huge over bets. Then over bets Rampage and gets SNAPPED‼️🫡 Props to Ethan, for not giving up and fighting back in Poker. Not just the hand cause KK is pretty much always calling there anyways. I mean Poker in general. Edit: then Nik's 🥴"get me a million" remark afterwards to save face KNOWING the night was wrapping up. 😂 Lol, my apologies... I sound like a HATER but I've been bothered with dude lately. The Mariano KK incident pretty much sealed the deal.

@AlexDuvall

Yeah idk it was strange to say he dead... dead would have been something like KQ

Happy he won a big session… But he didn’t play well, he got lucky he got KK against 2 other strong hands and one was airball I think most above avg poker plays fold when someone flats a 25K all in and had around 200K behind… AK off should fold pretty fast

You should probably be scared when someone flats an all in preflop. Flatting an all in with someone left to act is clearly bait to get the person behind to jam. I do what rampage did quite a bit, and most peoole fall for it.

Bet a $1 once rampunts gets out of the hole he goes right back to tournament punting and be back in same spot within 9 months....750k loss in tourneys last year

Rampage plays like alot of new inexperienced players play. Blind aggression, siding towards betting in almost all close and not so close spots. Which works against bad/rec opponents very well. But will lose alot of money vs competent players. He isnt a bad player, just inexperienced and without backing wouldnt have the roll to play in these games.
