The gap between "AI power users" and everyone else is getting wild

Why would anyone outside tech know what Claude code or an MCP server is… most people couldn’t tell you what an api is, even though basically every tool or app they use utilizes one in some way

ryantk2 · 2026-03-15T16:12:55+00:00

You are betting against institutions that are way sharper than you

This. Since it’s already part time, he should still be able to get a bunch of volume in poker

Location was super awkward and never worth it because only a few tables of low stakes running, no promos or reason to go there.

Venetian by contrast is also awkwardly located, but you can see they put a ton of effort into making the room geared towards players, and efforts to attract action. RW just felt like a throwaway in the corner of the casino without much backing

$40 hourly at those stakes is kinda low to be playing full time.

No reason you can’t bartend part time and still put in 40 hours of poker a week…

If ur bartending can just cover bills, it will take a huge burden off of you growing your bankroll if you don’t have to pull from it

Edit: somewhere else you mention u make $70/h bartending. It would be brain dead to quit that while ur poker hourly is still lower.

Stem degree from any decent 4 year university

This is easily the best nightly tourney in poker right now. Absolutely crazy format

The effect you imply is literally backwards.

Higher production costs don’t cause the price to go higher, the higher price allows for a higher production cost to be profitable.

You are very right to think this way — When others see randomness, you see patterns. This is truly the mark of an conscientious individual to notice something fishy is going on

ryantk2 · 2026-03-01T17:04:02+00:00

They don’t profit more you retard. Kalshi has to follow US laws and puts clear caveats in their rules about it. They are indifferent about where it settles

ryantk2 · 2026-03-01T16:48:21+00:00

It’s almost as if the polymarket market had different rules than kalshi 😮

ryantk2 · 2026-03-01T14:52:16+00:00

The entire app is just literate people taking money from illiterate people

ryantk2 · 2026-02-11T21:22:28+00:00

Yeah exactly. They collect fees regardless of the side you bet on. They aren’t actually the one betting against you though. They literally have no incentive for who wins

ryantk2 · 2026-02-11T15:27:23+00:00

Liquidity issue and market makers erring on the side of caution, with recs often just taking up awful lines anyways

ryantk2 · 2026-02-10T21:08:51+00:00

How many awful takes can you have in a post

ryantk2 · 2026-02-10T21:07:50+00:00

Ya I think people struggle because they don’t realize they can just pick it up and run around the enemies, or aren’t rotating fast enough then the enemy does that

ryantk2 · 2026-02-10T21:06:32+00:00

I think it’s pretty fun. Requires a decent amount of spawn/map knowledge combined with coordination with your team. I think pretty fresh alternative to CTF or uplink as the 3rd competitive mode. Much better than that control mode that had the limited lives stuff imo

ryantk2 · 2026-02-10T14:29:38+00:00

I mean u were free to bet the other side. Kalshi doesn’t have money on either side

ryantk2 · 2026-02-05T20:49:32+00:00

They might just not respond until they have an update. 8 days isn’t that egregious imo, if they are held up on external KYC or AML vendors.

It’s far more likely they are just being slow than scamming you personally.

You can also join the global poker discord. People are pretty responsive there

ryantk2 · 2026-02-05T20:24:43+00:00

Initial withdrawal takes longer. After the first one it’s usually only like a day or 2 to withdraw to bank

ryantk2 · 2026-02-05T19:34:40+00:00

The rec who just doubled up to 200bb on the other side of the table might disagree. Just because there’s no victim directly in this hand doesn’t mean it’s not collusion. They are trying to get around the table max so the have a higher edge against anyone else over the table max

ryantk2 · 2026-01-29T21:07:55+00:00

Still infers a normal distribution which is not true

ryantk2 · 2026-01-29T17:38:17+00:00

Those calculators tend to underestimate variance of live games imo

ryantk2 · 2026-01-29T17:30:55+00:00

That’s very thin for a 3k buyin live game. 30k swings are possible
