The fact that airball calls the clock on people tanking for 3 mins and taking 20+ mins to make a decision that’s means nothing to him is disgusting. He shouldn’t be able to call clock on anyone anymore in future live streams

I wouldn’t say it means nothing to him, $125k isn’t necessarily a small amount of money even for a dude who has punted off a few mil Not that it justifies this absurd tank, but to be fair to him the money probably isn’t meaningless, and especially if he’s lost a lot of his net worth. He’s been a lot nittier than he used to be when he first showed up

Talking about hand strength in a multi-way pot is absolutely not allowed!!! Imagine if Tesla was bluffing and he's listening to Airball say he has the straight, so then Tesla tries to say things to make Airball fold and Airball ends up calling. That would obviously be unfair to the 3rd player who now chops the pot instead of winning it if Airball folds. Total amateur hour at most card rooms including all the Texas ones

[@joeshab123]

Like this: 10:00 (9:40 on livestream) - Nick starts to tank 10:20 (10:00 on livestream) - Nick is still tanking, but now the livestream shows the beginning of the tank (when it shows everyone's hand, i.e. he could be told what everyone else in the pot has)

[@jimbojones9118]

@joeshab123 ahh OK that makes sense. But are the players even allowed to have their phones at the table? Or is it just so there is no chance at all someone could snipe the stream?

The stream is on a 30 min delay. No phones or electronics are allowed in the studio. So I'm not sure why there is a concern. The only way to receive info would be for someone to shout from outside.

Play or fold.” The floor put a timer on the guy and told the lady I wasn’t out of line.

[@terencehill3972]

I believe that you should set a time limit that is as long as the player needs to think about all relevant factors and come to a rational decision. Sure, you can allow another 1-2 minutes for irrelevant, emotional wavering, but that's it. You need to make a decision now. If someone is just stalling and nothing is going on in their brain anymore, that shouldn't be allowed.

[@gonnaw1n]

This is a much better video from yourself compared to the last one I saw. I will say I don't like Airball but more players like him are needed! Yes he is very annoying but he makes brilliant watching just like Hellmuth/Matusow/Tony G etc. I guess there is no clock to call on people in this and they probably knew before signing up to play. It is a ridiculous amount of time to take, but I guess they allowed it due to the money. The fact Tesla said that same speech when he last had a monster vs Airball was a read Nik picked up on then completely ignores just because Tesla is such an agro Whale.

[@dmjcbb5359]

Although it seems a little hypocritical, the complexity between Mariano’s hand with KK and Nik’s hand are no where close. Nik’s hand is super confusing and interesting, and just bashing him for tanking without explaining or analyzing the hand beyond of what a surface level beginner player could do, isn’t informative and cultivates negativity. Airball is right when he says he usually acts fast. On top of this, you cherry-picked one clip of him taking a “long time,” when in reality he acts faster than like 90% of players. There is a reason no one at the table called clock. This is just a bad take.

[@tmoney1876]

You would have a point if he tanked for 10 minutes or something like that. Running up against the stream delay proves that it's asinine. No one needs 20+ minutes to fully analyze that spot. It's still hypocritical... calling clock at 3 minutes for the size bet Mariano was dealing with and being a little bitch about it is NEVER justified, especially if you would EVER take TWENTY PLUS MINUTES TO MAKE A DECISION. Nik is an asshole because he can justify this move for himself, but cannot fathom a situation where he can allow another player to take a couple minutes to make a decision for themselves.
