I swear I didn’t see the time stamp before.
If I find myself properly medicated I’ll dip my toe in.
Honestly I never realized how sharp and well spoken Berkey was until the Robbi v Garrett deal. Right hand to god, I thought how remarkable it was how well spoken the pair of you were in conversation. Doesn’t happen in poker talk.
Sharp contrast to babbling Joey.
I've mentioned on radio that there's a few people in poker who, in the past 1-2 years, I've improved my opinion of them a lot.
Berkey is one of those people. We've talked in DM on and off over the past several months. We aren't friends, but we have a good relationship, and I was glad to see that without being a victim himself, he jumped on the bank theft situation and made it a major topic on his show.
He's got a good thing going at the moment -- a training product which seems to be doing well, and a successful YouTube show which promotes said training product. For whatever reason they just lost the hot chick on their show (Melissa Schubert), so that's going to hurt them a bit, but I think they're established enough to go on without her.
When you've got a video show, it's always advantageous to have an attractive female as part of the group.
Some of the poker wokes have tried to cancel Berkey at various times over the past year or so, but they've never been successful. He's not even a conservative, but just has the occasional politically incorrect take which gets the woke poker crew angry. I think poker Twitter is getting tired of thie whining of these people. They've come after Negreanu and Joey Ingram a few times this year, as well.
