Would you sit at a table full of poker pros? @blankcheckben would rather not…for good reason

[@kevinb5933]

This is the most honest take I’ve Heard. Being self aware is half the battle. Airball is delusional enough to think he can sit with that line up and win.

[@ernestoA.1999]

What the hell does that guy does for a living ? Is he related to the saudis or something , he said he’s on a 8 million downswing lol

[@tightpokernews]

Great to see the self awareness here. The Tiger Woods analogy was on point.

[@MrJaymac87]

nah lol. 100/100 times we lose to tiger on even a single hole let alone 18 holes. anyone can get lucky in poker lol. luck is a big part of the game. If one of us played an elite pro heads up we would win a few cuz of luck. This man just lacks confidence really lol.

[@jlieberman22]

Table selection is the FIRST step in being a profitable player.

[@ernestoA.1999]

😂😂 I play at the Hialeah casino in Miami and I win most of the time , I play solid tight aggressive , and people kinda don’t like when I win they put grumpy faces

[@painkiller5657]

He's not delusional like nik is. To his credit, he is a very capable player. maybe not just as good as dwan, ivey, negreanu etc

[@mrcv1999]

he is a business man, what are you even talking about comparing him to lifelong pros?

[@ernestoA.1999]

@@mrcv1999exactly people automatically think when they see this business playing that they’re pros , no they’re not ! , they just have money and can afford to lose but they’re no pro like Dwan who’s a fucking wizard

[@CRoooH]

This dudes a beast, and humbleness is key.

[@yitzchokchaimatkins5998]

Daniel Negreanu said it best in his masterclass. You can be the 5th best player in the world but you only play at a table with the top 4 players in the world, then you're the sucker.

[@raymondpatrick2918]

He's still a great player but at least he's honest and humble enough to admit that he wouldn't size up against the very best

[@johnwilliams8609]

Love this fuckin guy!

[@nicolasflores3964]

Agree 100%

[@nowayjose1482]

Would you like to play golf with tiger woods??... Hell yes I would love to!!!! ...For 50k a hole? Awe hell nah!!

[@sandman9861]

thats how everyone should feel, no ego!

[@henrokwonzo4692]

That’s a business man!

[@billweis7638]

I love poker but I love my money more. I am always looking for the table that gives me the best opportunity to make money. Makes complete sense

[@aquaticnuke]

People hype themselves up because they get sponsorships and endorsements. If you flat out say you can’t hang with the big guys, then they will move on to others who will at least try. But I like the way he thinks

[@parmanduke]

Smart man. I might hang with Tiger for one hole but never 18

[@stevecelino8354]

I like his confidence.

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

If I could afford it would play cash games against GMan as much as possible. That guy was the most incredible poker player and very entertaining. He also made some insane folds people forget .

[@SpicyNuggs562]

Generally, no, but if it was low enough stakes, and it was people I liked, then, yeah, probably, at least for a little while. 😁

[@UriahCreep]

In other news, grass is green.

[@halcondelasierra3625]

Serious Question-Is BlankCheck Ben Gay?

[@danielmeuler2877]

He's not wrong.

[@superpasi7315]

Obviously every player would like to play on a table with 8 people that are worse than themselves 😂

[@davorvidovic8335]

Down to earth

[@jlieberman22]

He left his ego on the rail

[@Jim900]

Fellas take it easy on the casino food

[@nikitakucherov5028]

Hellmouth you could beat, the others wud CRUSH you

[@jimmyjambon9206]

I get it. I'll take the under on that true statement Ben.

[@michaelrazon2714]

We play for money and not for glory. Why put yourself in a tank full of sharks???

[@jasonlinton9902]

Phil ivey and the pros play so good because they have huge bankrolls and dont fearm losing they take alot more chamces than people do that have small bankrolls if a regular player and phil ivey both have only $500 in front of each player you will be just as good as he is at the game what makes him the best is hes not afraid to lose millions and thats the difference hold em poker is 90% luck

[@ernestoA.1999]

These guys have even bigger bankrolls they’re millionaires and billionaires business men but that doesn’t mean they’re good , they ain’t pros , that’s like comparing a president with a General , presidents can’t command or wage war like Generals can

[@Jacob-ud9fe]

Way more luck in poker than people want to admit. We have way less control over the outcome that we like to admit.

[@Eighthousand]

I totally agree

[@Rubaduck]

knowng a good game is half the skill of poker

[@TheDoctorgate]

Ben ruins HLC. He results in the most boring lineups and acts like he brings enough to the table to make that worth it.

[@Thejacka47]

Smart

[@josiahmeleng3315]

Would you play ball against nba players with $50000 on the line of course not 100% agree with him

[@Rll34]

Bible says iron forges iron. Boss up! That’s what it’s about!☀️ Thank me later…. Currently in AC in the highest limits…. Working my way to LA , looking for a challenge! Wouldn’t want it any other way.

[@Rll34]

And yeah I like you both

[@JamesBrown-fb6zt]

You DON'T know what's coming on the flop, this game is a JOKE!!!!!!

[@AC-wl7ve]

wow only 1000 to end up a loser eh. i would have thought it would be more.

[@dmoney5969]

Tuff competition only gets u better

[@Jared-wy5zw]

Respect

[@william8541]

That's because you are a horrible horrible poker player Ben

[@Yessirdo]
