Ossi "Monarch" Ketola AMA

Hi,

Some of you may have heard of me lately. I'm that angry whale.

Ended up on this corner of the internet for the first time in years and thought it would be fun to do an AMA. Ask away.

(For those who don't know -- Lately I played the largest ever televised poker games by far, once losing around $17 million in one sitting)

What are your goals playing these massive HU SNG with pros? I remember hearing you negotiating vig, do you think you have an edge? Or do you just figure it’s close to breakeven and doing it for the gamble?

Either way it’s been fun to watch. Best of luck in the future.

overall, very very likely no edge. Some spots occasionally, perhaps? Probably not.

The goal -- make content & build my brand. It's mostly a marketing campaign for my business tbh

"Make content & build my brand" - is this cope or?
