Game never went
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Fun Story - I have a buddy who is a professional poker player due to covid and making a eff ton of money. He used to play in person at the KC Casino's (We even ran into Wacky one of the few times I joined him a couple of years back) a bunch and had a real 9-5 normal ass job. He knew alot of people from playing in person and when covid hit and everything went online he started just cleaning up in private games. 

He just plays by the book and plays 5-10 private games at a time for $1/$2 blinds folding everything except really good cards, even built himself a "Command Station" where he lines up all of his tablets with one on each game. Eventually he quit his job because he was making so much money then one of the people who runs a game started to pay him as a "fluffer"  where he gets paid $100 a day to play in certain games between 10am-2pm because that is the "dead" period and no one wants to play a poker game with just a couple of people. He still gets to keep any money he makes during that time but he is getting $25 an hour just to be playing during those times.

Also if he plays X amount of hands per month in certain rooms he get something called a "Rake Back"? Basically the guys who run the room give him a cut of the rake for playing so much.

He has been clearing 10-20k per month the past 2 years and has decided to ride it out until the well runs dry. In his words "People are bored as eff and just throwing away money".

That is interesting. Does your bud not get burnt out? Obviously that’s a nice payday but it sounds tedious AF.

That's awesome, and he's definitely grinding the crap out of those games. Ingenious move to load up several tablets at once to play multiple games. The mobile apps (pokerrrr2 is the best one) with the best/softest games only allow you to play one table at a time. There are other apps pokerbros, pppoker that allow you to play up to 4 tables at once, but those clubs tend to be bigger and get infested with grinders.

Rakeback is typically a bigger deal in online poker, but it's bad for the poker ecosystem. You end up with a bunch of grinders playing 12 tables at once and only playing about 15% of hands. Basically playing GTO poker, breaking even, and getting rakeback.

That he's made enough connections to be a paid prop player is even better.

Yeah, he is burnt out AF and he has gotten fat from staring at screens all day. He originally just planned to do it during Covid when things were locked down but it hasn't slowed down so he is just going to ride the wave until it dries up.

I'd um... so play?
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

My buddy recently bought a house with his winnings and I was able to grab a picture of his "office/command station".
