He just bought a pro soccer club. So ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hmmm
Yea I don’t really buy this tbh
the former owners of the dodgers bought the entire team almost entirely on credit with like the only collateral being a parking lot they owned

Sure - but how much does a third division soccer club cost?
Aren’t the claims that he’s made hundreds of millions sports betting?
Again, I’m sure he’s rich, but I think the claims about exactly how rich are overstated (and that he’s likely one of the people pushing those stories). The claims about being the greatest sports bettor are in large part why he got the job with the Mavs.
Something I have learned living in LA and working in the entertainment business is that almost everybody wants to be famous. I used to forget that, and random people from my past would pop out of the woodwork and ask me for lunch or to have drinks and I’d be like “oh, that’s nice!” and then at some point it would come out that they’re becoming/going back to being an actor.
Not that HCL is going to make anybody famous-famous, but in this world it’s kind of the place to be right now.

IYO how much of this weird behavior has to do with that?
He bought a semi pro team from the 3rd division which has about 100+ clubs. He could be rich as fuck, but that probably cost less than you think.
Tony bloom owns a premier league team if you guys wonder how rich you can get beating bookies

Hard to say, but there’s been a fair amount of “main character syndrome” on display. “Well, since I’ve been THRUST into this position now I must say my piece”.

I’m in LOL OC so fairly removed from this scene but I’ve seen far weirder behavior from low level influencers to gain a paltry number of followers, one of my main alternative theories is that this is all an elaborate stunt for exposure, like a kim k sex tape moment. her behavior is completely in line with that, in my opinion, and I heard one guy on the podcast that supposedly worked in entertainment voice that he’s seen similar things before, so I wanted to ask
I think HBob just likes attention + enjoys trolling people and being an aggitator. He’s the dude who goes to the MIT sports analytics conference and acts like the smartest guy in the room while calling the head of Cantor Gaming chicken for not taking more of his action.
I don’t know how much $ he has (especially since he’s a big crypto guy) but dropping a buying or two is worth it to him if he gets to make “hilarious” tweets like this.

Maybe not quite hundreds, but if you add on that they were in crypto super early you might get there.
I’m friends with a bunch of his friends. It’s legit.
They were piling ~7 figures on Donaghy games back almost 20 years ago now for example.
What a garbage pile human. There are real people who’s reputations are being trashed here, not to mention it’s impact on poker in general, given the widespread press.
Glad he can get a couple “funny” tweets.
Reprehensible.

He’s apparently convinced it’s Bryan, that DGAF is clean, and/or 10/20/40 to him it’s like .01/.02 and he gets to go investigate in person and question some people, and if he gets cheated out of pocket change he doesn’t care.
I’ve been thinking about getting an RFID blocker to turn into a card protector for final tables/live streams, I assume it would protect me from third party attacks from above the felt.
Have you looked into them enough to know if the device would interfere with the legit scanners being used by the production?
What are you going to do when others decide that your “blocker” must be a “reader” or the casino otherwise rejects it as a non-approved electronic device?

Lol DGAF not allowed to sit in seat two.
This is all theatre.
Of course, bob in seat two. In b4 he is accused of cheating.
