I think Druff would do ok on their Monday feed the blinds arent high compared to say Fridays high stakes and a couple of them are majorly loose players like DGAF. Or perhaps the Thursday which is also a 5/5 game (but has a $100 BBA and seems to play a lot higher often closer to the big game on Fridays).. Tuchman could probably make it happen.
I have considered asking to come on, and it's possible they'd say yes, for various reasons:
1) The Hanson Kid is a frequent commentator there, and he is a regular PFA listener.
2) Patrick Curran, who works behind the scenes at HCL, also listens to PFA.
3) I have always had a good relationship with Ryan Feldman, and he appeared on PFA Radio in 2021.
4) While not a big name in poker or a hot chick with my tits out, I am not a nobody, either. There would probably be at least mild public interest in my appearance there, plus a lot of interest from fans of PFA.
I would just need to figure out which episode to appear. I would not want to play anything above 10/20.
Does Druff have a marketable identity at the table? I’ve never really seen anything but the seat cushion spinning video after all these years.
I suspect he’s probably pretty business-like.
The Hanson kid and Druff could be a pretty entertaining pairing. They have history and both have a sense of humor. Does Druff adopt the “alt right guy”, “the old guy”, “the guy who should be in the booth instead of Hanson”. Need a persona
Maybe Druff should be behind the mic.
I’ll lobby Hanson if we want this to happen.

Vertucci buys in for 35K. Wednesday is usually 25/50 at least.
Druff could def commentate but HLC is very strict with a one person booth. Nick gets in on Friday sometimes with Bart, but that’s the exception. They used to do limit streams on LATB back in the day and Druff would be perfect for that. Problem is they didn’t get much viewership, so I don’t believe HLC has ever spread it or ever will spread it on stream.
They should find him a seat in the Monday game one of these nights imho.
They had some chick I’d never heard of tonight playing on the stream or should I say sitting there and nit folding I swear I think Mason would’ve played more than this Andrea chick did. Actually I think Mondays show would be ideal for him. They were mixing in NLHE and PLO tonight which Driff has been playing. No run it twice stuff and such eitherQuote:

If they had a limit game I would love to hear Druff commentate.
Unfortunately boring to watch though.
Did watch a bunch the super high stakes week. In general like their setup and their players aren’t the best at poker but generate exciting action.
Would tune in to watch Druff play. Perhaps a good night could help keep the lights on.
what kind of bankroll you comfortable with sitting down at the super high stakes HCL games? hiaving 100% of your wins/loses, you comfortable buying in for 10% net worth? 5%? 1%? 0.1%
just curious. i think for a-one -of , major shot take , i might go 20-25% the games too juicy.
Not a very high percent. I just would like to go on and play, not looking to really play high stakes.Quote:

Otherwise hes gonna need a backer whos willing to eat the loss with no makeup and split the winnings 50/50 potentially whatever they are. Still think it would be fun to see him mix it up with guys like DGAF although Id love to see him just crush that Linglin chick is shes playing. Shes so tilty at times love to know how she survives the swings she does at times. Some episodes shes lit $60k on fire before. (somebody in chat last week on Y! literally said she if she kept it up shes was gonna be giving happy endings at a massage parlor to rebuild her bankroll).Quote:

They actually did a PLO stream last week I believe it was 25/50 (confirmed) on Wednesday. They were doing some NLHE and PLO mix last week as well one night. But usually they just throw PLO in there random for a hand or 2 or they do an entire stream of PLO like last week.Quote:

25/50 PLO too big. Don't want to play that.
Maybe I'll go on the 5/10 NL one provided it doesn't play insanely big. I'd have to watch a sample of it to get an idea. Of course, nobody has invited me yet, but as I said, I think there's a decent chance I could get in there if I asked.

Great idea.
Would be a fun watch with Druff as player or commentator.
Tuchman announced on the stream last night that Doug Polk will be playing on HCL in 2 weeks.
Would be kind of fun to see and hear Druff and Polk at the same table live. Might make for some good convos.
They don’t allow eating at the table like they did in the old LATB days so there really is no novelty here.
I think I changed my mind anyway.Quote:

Max Scale Monday?
I think you'd be great.Quote:

I guess nothing bad happened on my two Live at the Bike appearances, other than Bart Hanson (who didn't know me at the time) being tricked by chatters into stating that I competed on "Man Versus Food".
I think you’re tight but a good personality. Not sexy though. I think your quirky angle and follows would be enough of a draw.
