@Angry_Polak Had the same happen with my truck ( it took me 8 months to find it when I was shopping for it) but yeah like someone else said, they had a customer uniquely looking for the truck I had and it was kinda hard to find at the time

Bought a new car a year ago and the dealership is offering me more money than I paid for it to buy it back. Should I do it?

@RealKidPoker Wise words. The people watching this… it’s incomprehensible for them to fold a set of kings in most spots. They see “KK” and they already know they aren’t folding. That’s the difference between Jesse and them, fully fluid and using all the info possible (for HIM) to decide

Seeing a lot of hate on Jesse for this fold and it’s eye opening to me. Jesse has been having phenomenal results the last couple years, precisely because he is willing to trust himself in these type of spots. He got this one wrong, but how often is he getting it right, and getting away from coolers that most humans just shrug and go broke on? The easy play is to call here and lament your bad luck. The difficult, above the rim plays require a trust in yourself that few possess. Instead of viewing this hand and thinking “What a terrible fold, he is bad,” realize this is just one hand and doesn’t encompass a players full skill set. Small minds make this mistake constantly. If the guy had the straight, Jessie is a genius, but because he was bluffing he is the fool? It’s a fine line, and if you don’t understand this you can never unlock your full potential. “It is not the critic who counts…”

@VictoriaL_64 @padspoker It’s so unfortunate:/ the stories / emotions / feelings are ALL there, the people are willing, the audience is hungry

100%. Poker has this aspect of brutality from variance I haven't encountered anywhere else, and people don't understand it at all - you can do everything right, and still lose. Over and over and over again. The mindset to play A game during long stretch of disappointing runs, keep playing / studying / believing in math / and yourself - things that makes the real winners in poker - is so... intriguing and relatable to life if it can be told right!

I was excited for a high-quality show I can share with my kids - one they'd watch, enjoy and understand my journey better. (And let me teach poker to my little granddaughter someday). "Game of Gold" did not do it for them. And this series will not do it either (all ethical issues aside). It's a miss IMO at a very fundamental level. I don't think we are "missing personalities" in today's poker scene. Or personal dramas worthy of mass appeal. Or the budgets, apparently. We missing world-class plots / directors / screenwriters / production teams that can get this job done.

@RaverPoker Whoa !! LFG

The stigma seems to be such a big speed bump, it’s unfortunate. It’s funny that you mentioned WWE, @JesseLonis and I were watching it recently, because of the story telling and the nostalgia. I immediately had the thought that someday we will be watching Jesse in similar format 😂 Another stigma that exists now ( and didn’t during the poker boom so much ) is how “live” the consumer is able to consume the content. It didn’t seem as much of a concern back then as it does now. ( that is part of the magic of HCL, there IS story telling, as well as engaging poker ) Agreed the stories ARE there… WE ARE SO CLOSE, we’re gonna get there ;)

Good stuff. Everything you’re saying is spot on. I think the characters are there. We just don’t have ESPN and the major networks these days putting poker on a huge pedestal + we don’t have the big Full Tilt/Stars money to invest in players like we used to. There’s also a ton more content these days. Everyone wants a piece of the content pie. So the average fan is numb to it because everything is so saturated. With that said, in terms of promoting characters to grow it mainstream — if we can get a big player like Netflix or Hulu to invest in poker content, we can promote the back stories the same way F1/tennis/chess/wrestling did. I’ve been in those meetings and it’s not easy for whatever reason. There’s still this stigma out there that poker is some bad thing. A lot of celebs don’t want their names attached to it and don’t want to be seen gambling/losing money. We need to figure out how to get over that hump.

I'm about to alienate the entire poker industry with what I'm going to say. But someone needs to point out that we've been telling the wrong story for 20 years. The evidence is undeniable. The solution is uncomfortable. The poker content industry is creatively bankrupt and I'm done pretending otherwise. While other games turn niche audiences into a global phenomenon, we're recycling formulas for the same shrinking pool of viewers. Wrestling is scripted. Chess is silent. Golf is slow. All three are Netflix sensations worth hundreds of millions. Poker—where people literally risk their life savings while engaging in psychological warfare—can barely crack 250K YouTube views. This shouldn't be possible. But it is. The Queen's Gambit made more people care about chess in 8 weeks than poker content has made people care about poker in 8 years. Chess set sales: +1000% New online players: +5 MILLION Chess school applications: DOUBLED From a FICTIONAL story about a game where two people sit in complete silence staring down at a board and occasionally move tiny wooden objects. Have we already forgotten? Twenty years ago, poker exploded because of a story. Not a hand. A nobody accountant with a perfect last name… Facing off against a guy whose picture belongs in the dictionary next to "poker player"... An unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth... The coolest, coldest motherfucker ripped straight out of a Scorsese movie. And the underdog prevails. THAT'S storytelling. THAT'S what captivated millions. Then we lost our way. Poker suffered a decade-long drought after Black Friday. TV coverage dried up. Online sites vanished overnight. The industry was on life support. What brought it back? Not strategy videos. Not hand breakdowns. It was personalities. Stories. Characters. Influencers who understood that poker without people is just math. We've been here before. We know what works. Yet we're drifting back into the same trap. While poker content creators play musical chairs, recycling the same 250,000 existing YouTube viewers, Formula 1 converted 20 million non-fans into rabid followers. 99% of gambling content is created for the 1% who already play. While sites battle over the same shrinking player pool, they're ignoring the 300M potential fans hungry for real human drama. What do Formula 1, chess, and professional wrestling have that poker doesn't? It's not bigger audiences. It's not more drama. It's one specific storytelling approach that poker content creators actively avoid: They focus on PEOPLE first, activity second. They build CHARACTERS, not just champions. They create EMOTION, not just education. Meanwhile, poker sites pour millions into new features and UI improvements, while investing next to nothing in original, impactful content. They'd rather spend $3M optimizing their lobby than $1M on a story that could bring in a million new players. Short-term metrics over long-term vision. Quick conversions over cultural relevance. Features over feelings. Everyone criticizes @RealKidPoker and @phil_hellmuth - But they are in the arena, trying different things to actively participate in growing the game. Name someone who’s done more to bring new fans to poker…I’ll wait. Meanwhile, we've convinced ourselves that a stream's 37th close-up of some math wizard calling a 3-bet with J7 suited is "revolutionary content." Even the shows considered "industry standard" – Hustler Casino Live and High Stakes Poker – make the same fundamental error: Selecting hands based on POT SIZE rather than NARRATIVE VALUE. High stakes should be part of the storytelling – not the ONLY story. We need to be the change we want to see in poker storytelling. I'm putting these principles into practice through my work on @Mister_Keating's channel. Not to self-promote. But to prove it can be done. We're crafting narrative arcs across multiple hands. We're revealing the psychological warfare. We're turning poker sessions into cinematic experiences. The future belongs to storytellers who understand that gambling at high stakes is dramatic CONTEXT, not compelling CONTENT by itself. I'm tired of hearing "When is Rounders 2 coming out?" We don't need Rounders 2. We need creators and businesses with a stake in this beautiful game to come together and make content that breaks beyond anything Rounders ever did. We need to aim higher than recycling nostalgia. We need to create NEW classics. Here's what happens if we succeed: Poker becomes cultural currency again. New players flood into the game. Sites and casinos thrive with fresh blood. A generation of storytellers finds their canvas. And if we fail? We continue the slow, uncomfortable decline. We keep talking to the same shrinking audience. We become chess before The Queen's Gambit – a niche game for a dedicated few. And for the executives reading this thread right now, calculating ROI: While your competitors chase micro-conversions, imagine owning the next cultural sensation. Imagine poker's Drive to Survive moment – 20M new fans, 53% viewership increases. The long-term math isn't complicated. The courage to be first is rare. We've spent 20 years showing cards. It's time to show character. We've spent two decades explaining how to play. Now let's show why people NEED to watch. The storytelling must finally match the stakes. Poker content needs an entirely new narrative. I plan to write it. This is a call to the entire industry to join me. Challenge yourself. Challenge the status quo. We need to move at the speed of attention. Or the attention will disappear.
