One month, one million (hands) - Page 12

lol that last video is....

.............
...........

cant believe i watched it

Why are so many LPers hating on Chiren? He's an all around pretty nice guy and his Athene videos were quite funny. I wasn't a fan when he played WoW (wasnt really aware of him, watched most of his old stuff recently), but it's been a few months i watch his vids and I've seen some streams, there is really no reason to bash a guy you don't know =/

Oh and Rekrul .... "looks pretty gay", yeah but look at the chick, don't think Tania' in it for the money, she's been with him way before poker was ever in the picture. I could say the same if I saw a clip of you, it's not like you're Johnny Depp. He's a really nice/funny guy, with a gorgeous chick, a large following online, why are you so mad at him?

You know what? Maybe he isn't so good at poker. But he's capitalized on his "fame" off the felt and I think good things are coming his way.

Yeah he capitalized on it in a pretty gay and attention whorish way. Grats! I mean I can't deny his accomplishment, sick work ethic, etc. (and yes it's good if you can draw inspiration from this to grind more). This whole celebrity attitude however "look, so many people watch me, try to mess with me, follow me, root for me I'M FAMOUSSSSSS" - it still just feels wrong, I don't know why you people refuse to see it. And I can't believe I'm in agreement with Baal about something, that sums up how sad this whole thing is, tbh.

If anyone wonders, I also have "personal" reasons. My friend was sitting on the same table as the guy in some random donkament on FTP, and his "I'm so fucking cool chatting everyone up in here" attitude got on my nerves (he asked me to take over while he has dinner or smth). Everyone I know who acts like that IRL is a douchebag, I don't think he'd be different. Oh wait, I know, "it's just an act, an online persona!" Well...you are what you act like. If he's like that 90% of the time, then he's that. Simple enough for me.


Not like we're gonna convince each other anyway, I'm out of this topic now (shouldn't have touched it either, like all the others about Chiren)

Hf everyone with the rakeback pro idolization.

Marketing Genius.

You've probably only seen a few of his vids, live streams are much more personnal, but anyways, if you can't see past the troll, theres no point arguing here

he used to be funny before, now that he's revealed himself as a serious guy wanting people to follow him and tell pstars to make him a ps pro i find all this athene bs becoming lamer and lamer each day

I missed a lot,cliff notes why are we hating on chiren?

It's amazing how many people deluded themselves into thinking he was even good at WoW, much less poker.

he is very good at WoW

Hey our very own Hevad got to be a PS pro by being quite an attention whore himself, don't diss

However they're just jealous.

I dont think playing 1 million hands will get him PS pro. It would help if he was killing nl100 , but thats not the case here. I wish him the best in his challenge but the PS pro, i doubt this will happen. Many online players are raping the game out there. I think many people have played less hands but deserve PS pro more than him. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't really use PT or any stat programs but a 0.35/100BB winrate 24 tabling would equal the same profit as 8.4/100BB 1 tabling and 2.1/100BB 4 tabling right? That's not too bad. considering the insane rakeback that he's getting and the hours he puts in, he probably makes more profit than 99% of 100NL players no?

lol. Not really, this means he makes 0.35/100BB even when 1 tabling. Obv its good for rakeback, but if you check Pokertableratings.com (as i mentionned before) this kid didnt make 100K $ . He made almost 13K in 3 million hands. I'm not saying this is bad, but it doesnt really deserve PS pro.

Would they ever sponsor a random guy just for playing 1 million hands?

You people have suprising lack of grasp on marketing.
it's almost certain he already has a deal with Pokerstars.
How do u think he could possibly afford going to PCA with his crew, playing in WCOOP ME, etc.

he might not be good, but he has a lot more dedication and infinitely more work ethic than almost everyone who has bashed him in this thread.
