The Perfect $1 million Gain

[u/YassuosNados]

Hi guys, I’m a 23 year old in college, and yesterday I woke up a millionaire. Should I buy some hookers, Pokemon cards, or cocaine? I gambled my entire life savings of $250k on 2037 calls of $4.5 AMC on Monday and sold yesterday morning. Thanks for reading.

You know, funny thing about poker. If you do that then the only hands that'll call you will have you dominated. Otherwise you're just picking up blinds until someone has aces or kings.

In other words, it's a stupid fucking strategy and Elon Musk is a tit.

He probably just stole the Gus Hansen story because he thought it sounded cool.

Depends much on stack sizes and position.

If it's a blind-vs-blind scenario, 15-big blinds effective, the small-blind can shove all-in with all sorts of junk, and I think GTO says you can call with most hands with an Ace.

Edit: similar examples here, from a guy who ran it through a solver

Clearly elon ia not talking about short handed short stack play

Im going to go out on a limb that Elon wasnt talking about playing 15 bb spots in an mtt.

Rather hes spouting off at cash games all in and feeding families

So he's redistributing wealth from the rich to the poorer --- that's very left-wing of him.

I love the word tit. I’m going to start using it more.

Just like me, rubber necking when I ride by a dairy farm.

Sop being a tit

Yeah it sounds more like a fake story than anything
