I went to write this on another post but thought it was worthy of its own extended version.
Stop fkn stressing and buy the dips, if you cant buy more, hodl, If that's too much for you then sell now so we can buy it up cheap.
I've bought every dip to my means and am still up alot from very average bags.
Everyone constatly panicking over a one day red candle isn't helping.. It's no worse then all the fud packers on here. I've been screenshoting every fud poster on here, I'm getting ready to post a collage of fudmemes to call out when we hit 10c very soon, I have enough from launch, to 0.007 0.3 0.4 but let's give it another week to see your crap you clowns.
I joined this reddit group launch day, we have grown 80% in size you beautiful sloths and it's amazing to see it grow daily. We are smashing charts on all DEXs and growing CEX listings. We have a strong community on numerous socials and plenty of smarter members then me explaining charts and tokenomics, listen to them and stop fkn panicking everytime we drop a cent..
On launch eveyone was freaking out over not getting their coins in the first 20mins. I sat here posting "do not give your keys out to fake support pages" "follow solscan" "stop panicking" I doubt it helped, people are inclined to do whatever they will when they are panicking and such is the mainstream marketing campaign and minimal support of SLOTH so far. alot of begginers came over and freaked out over nothing or got rekt sending keys and making silly plays.
Ive been around a while and launched my own very very shit coins and I can tell you from Slothana's raise of 15-20mil presale it was always gonna take time to drop all those coins and their marketing budget alone was in the Mills. fkn wild af and proved it wasnt a scam to me instantly, the KYC to set up those ads made it way too balsey for them to rug and face penalties or online witch hunts from smarter coders then them. You couldn't go on any dex listing page without seeing a $SLOTH banner and once you looked at the basic ass website your google ads were flooded for the entirety of Easter.
All the 420 memes aside.. This is a fkn meme.. Of a Sloth.. With AI graphics.. Stoned and pushing to $4.20..
That's all it is.. I still think it's better then a dog with a fkn hat and the other thousand cat, shiba and frog variants.
If you want to gamble, cant play poker, want instant gratification in crypto and cant hold a coin for a month let alone a year. Fkn learn to bot, add another zero to your bag, trojan some whales and see where you end up. alot of massive whales are front-running $SLOTH right now. So you will end up where you started.
Let's pump this to a 7 or 8c this week, see some more burns from the team and if you can't hold out for a lambo just cop a couple camrys and sit down..

i wanna know about your belt buckles. what they look like, the history behind them, etc. mines a silver buckle with a moose crossing a river on it. my grandpa won it in a game of poker and gave it to me as a birthday present when i turned 18. any of you guys have a personal story behind your buckles, or are they just there to hold your pants up?

1. Courtesans and the Crown: I will be playing M! I am also open to potentially playing a MxM version. (1530s) Benjamin, the illegitimate son of a King, lives a life of luxury without any of the consequences that come with royal blood. He indulges in fine clothing, gambling and is a frequent patron of brothels. At sixteen, he met a courtesan named Antonia, who was five years his senior. Unlike the other women he had encountered, Antonia was beautiful, kind, and captured his heart. While they both share a deep love for each other, they face their own challenges. Benjamin is still learning the ways of the court at the age of eighteen, while Antonia holds a great deal of influence over him due to her life experience. From encouraging him to invite her to tea to spite his royal parentage and even convincing him to petition for legitimation to take his sister's throne, she is ready to shake things up, disguising their power-hungry nature as love. What started as a quiet and humble relationship has now turned them into vicious antagonists towards themselves and others, but their love for each other remains strong. Even though the character's name is Antonia, feel free to create your own character with a courtesan theme. I even encourage it!!!
2. Our Father, who art in Heaven: I can play M or F! (1450s) Through a combination of extortion, torture, and occasional bribery, Pope Castello has ascended to the Papal throne. Despite his vow of celibacy, his illegitimate offspring roam freely in the town, behaving as though they were the offspring of a monarch. His son, in particular, plowing through any woman with a pulse, loses vast sums of money gambling, and harbors his own dark secrets. Meanwhile, his father strives to elevate him to the rank of cardinal. However, what will happen when his son encounters the same fate as his father? Will he fall in love with a noblewoman and violate his church oath? This woman has her own secrets and a father who is eager to marry her off to the wealthiest suitor available. The resulting whirlwind will leave blood on the floor and lipstick stains on collars, reminiscent of The Borgias, but without the incestuous undertones.
3. Of course, Your Majesty: I will be playing M! (1500s) Your protagonist is the eldest child of a powerful monarch, destined to become the next Queen. During her childhood, she formed a close bond with the son of a Lord who was a bit older than her. As they grew up, their feelings for each other became more than just friendship, prompting them to explore a romantic relationship. However, it is the heavily religious 1500s, and fearing that their relationship would compromise her purity and jeopardize her chances of marrying another royal, the Lord's son was sent away to a chateau. Despite the distance, they kept in touch through letters and other means. But, a dramatic shift in the court's dynamics has brought him back, much to the chagrin of your character's father. He is willing to disrupt the status quo for the sake of love and occasionally for his own gain.
4. The Lost Princess: I will be playing F! (1480s-1520s) Princess Margery was adored by her subjects and set to ascend the throne one day. However, her fate changed drastically when, at the tender age of four, her carriage was attacked by bandits. In a desperate bid to survive, Margery pretended to be dead in the frigid snow of the forest. She wasn't certain what happened next, but she eventually found herself in the care of two kind-hearted parents who renamed her Elizabeth and raised her as their own daughter. As Elizabeth came of age, she began searching for potential suitors. But what happens when a young man uncovers her true identity? How does she make her way back to the castle, and what challenges await her upon her return? Most importantly, where do you fit into this tangled web of intrigue and deception?
5. For Our Kingdoms: I am open to playing M or F! (1530s) An arranged marriage between a prince and princess from neighboring kingdoms looms on the horizon. Is she a timid princess, suddenly thrust into the role of heir apparent, seeking a partner to bolster her claim to the throne? Or is she merely a commodity being sold off to the highest bidder? Regardless, what happens when two royals who are less-than-enthusiastic about the arrangement are forced to wed for the betterment of their kingdoms? With an unkind and brash prince making every quip in the book as he rises to the throne, she must find a way to make her marriage work. Will they find common ground, or will they be at each other's throats? Only time will tell.
6. Shadow in Stage Lights:I will be playing M! I am also open to potentially playing a MxM version. (Post-WWII 1940s) In the smoky haze of post-war Hollywood, where dreams are traded like currency and the past casts long shadows, Jack Turner returns from the frontlines of battle a shattered man. Once hailed as a literary luminary, he now struggles to find his place in a world that has moved on without him, haunted by memories he can neither escape nor forget. Enter your character, a radiant starlet whose ascent to fame is as swift as it is dazzling. Cast as the lead in Jack's latest play, she embodies the very essence of the character he once envisioned, igniting the stage with a brilliance that eclipses his own. But as the spotlight shines ever brighter on YC, Jack finds himself consumed by a bitter resentment, his heart seething with anger at the injustice of it all. In a world where shadows lurk behind every smile and fame is but a fleeting illusion, Jack and YC must navigate the treacherous waters of love and ambition, forging a path forward that leads them out of the darkness and into the light.
7. The West was Wilder: I will be playing M or F! (1830s) A young man is a moonshiner and owner of a notorious saloon in a small frontier town. With a reputation for brewing the finest illegal whiskey in the region, he walks a fine line between outlaw and respected member of the community. Meanwhile, a young lass is new to town and is seeking change. She has a tough exterior, but there is a vulnerability that draws folks in. As their paths cross in the dusty streets and dimly lit saloons of the Wild West, sparks fly between them. Whether it's a fiery confrontation over a poker game gone wrong or a chance encounter in the dead of night, their chemistry is undeniable. But with danger lurking around every corner and secrets waiting to be uncovered, their burgeoning romance is anything but smooth sailing.
8. Underneath the Bald Cypress: I will be playing F! (1930s) Amidst the sultry streets of New Orleans, the daughter of a wealthy sugar cane baron, finds herself torn between societal expectations and her own desires. Engaged to a controlling man of her father’s choosing, she longs for true love. Her path collides with your character, a jazz singer, a man of color, or something else entirely, sparking a forbidden romance that defies family secrets. As their love blossoms amidst the city's vibrant nightlife, she must choose between the safety of convention and the allure of a life filled with passion and uncertainty, where forbidden love and hidden truths threaten to unravel the world she knows.
9. Revolution or Run: I will be playing F! (Fallout Fandom) In Vault 47, life appears idyllic, with its inhabitants blissfully unaware of the horrors unfolding beneath the sterile corridors. Your character, recently assigned to a coveted scientist position, stumbles upon a hidden lab deep within the vault, where ghastly experiments are conducted on unsuspecting fellow dwellers. Amidst it all, your character finds help in a resourceful maintenance worker with a knack for uncovering secrets. With the weight of responsibility heavy on their shoulders, they must navigate a treacherous path, torn between loyalty to their community and the pursuit of justice.As tensions escalate within the vault, they must decide whether to ignite the flames of rebellion from within or to venture into the unforgiving wasteland beyond the vault's walls.

Longshot request but looking for any independent artist interested in a project.
The first one is a world map push pin board. I would like the map to be modified to enlarge certain countries, shrink others, maximizing the area for pins in places we are most likely to travel. As well as outlined areas for pictures to be added.
The second one is a poker chip holder. There are many basic ones online. I want an long horizon picture of the strip with the holding spot for the chip being near the casino or with a short line/arrow pointing to it. With the full outline being casino chip holders to include the rest of the collection non Vegas. I can’t believe something like this doesn’t exist, if you can make it im sure thousands would buy it over the course of a year. Casino chips are a niche collectible and the current display options suck. No one has tried anything cool.
Also will take any advice if anyone knows of places that do this type of stuff.

If you'd like more pics of anything, just let me know! Prices only include shipping to CONUS, though I am willing to figure up shipping for AK/HI. No international shipping at this time, sorry. Willing to hear offers on multiple items, only accepting PayPal F&F/Venmo, only paying F&F/Venmo to users with decent rep. If you have no/very little rep I will pay with G&S. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
I also have a trade/swap thread you can look through over here in case that's something you're interested in.
I am looking to purchase broken and/or non-working Nintendo handheld consoles from GameBoy to Switch and everything in between. Potentially also interested in broken home consoles, mostly N64 and Gamecube, but I'm open to seeing what you've got!
I am also looking to purchase an OEM battery for the 3DS XL or New 3DS XL system (battery model SPR-003). The battery must be for those consoles, not for the New 3DS or the 2DS systems. Preferably looking for someone who snagged one off of the Nintendo website before they were sold out, but I will also consider a battery pulled from a console so long as it is working.

Is there an official Church position on what agents are instrumental in delivering the suffering a soul experiences while venial sins are purged in Purgatory? Yes, the soul in question is responsible for the sins in question, and God created the universe and the facts of reality including all afterlife meta-locations, but I mean who or what is holding the metaphorical (or actual, what do I know) red-hot poker?

Hear me out, I've been 27 yo FA kisless hand-holding-less virgin, I've been a regular visitor of this sub for about 9 years. I'm probably one of the few true hardcore forever alones. Through out my life I haven't really had friends with whom I celebrated birthdays, went on trips or visited their homes or invited to mine. I havent ever experienced that. Through out my youth I used to spend summers locked in my room at parent's apparments, because I was/is ugly, weak, futile and I had nobody who respected me and wanted to hang out with me, that obviously also was relevate for girls. After drastic changes in my life I managed to escape virginity at 27 and get a gf. It took tremendous amount of effort, energy, planning and luck. And the thing is guys, I was of that opinion even before I escaped and I am of that opinion now - a gf doesn't dispel your forever-alone-ness, or rather shall I say, not every girl can dispel it. A girl does dispel your virginity, she does remove your internal complex of being incomplete and utterly unsuccessful at one of the most important biological intrinsic goals that all males have. But I've realized now even further that because I've been socially isolated for my whole life is that it's very childish and naive to expect that your girlfriend would satisfy all your social needs. It is extremely rare in this life for all people around us to find a mate with whom you match 100%. I have no shared interests with my girlfriend. I'm typical male who is interested in watching sports, politics, e-games, poker and doing active sports. She doesnt like any of that, besides the fact that she used to regularly watch how her previous boyfriend played League of Legends. She's not really a person who is into any deep or theoretical talks (to be fair very few women are). She's not person of high libido, so after few years sex aspect became almost non existent for the most part. You would ask, how are we together then? And the answer is simple, she was highly insecure girl who was used by all her previous partners. I was the only one who treated her with kidness, first one who payed for her at restaurants and first one who didnt use her as sex doll, but paid attention to her feelings and wanted to make it enjoyable for her. (It was also huge slap in the face by the surrounding reality, that I realized how a lot of men treat girls and still have girlfriends, not even pretty bad boys, but even regular guys treat their gfs like trash and still get laid and still are in relationships.) So that's why she liked me and wanted to be with me, because I was the first one who had decent paying job, had potential for the future and treated her well. And obviously from my side it was a miracle, at that point in my life I didnt really believe that I would ever lose virginity, I couldn't believe that I physically could achieve or "deserved" sex (in hindsight I would advise to anyone and myself back then to go to hookers and get experience in that department). So imagine this situation, where two of you got together, because both of you were kinda desperate for warmth, kidness and support and you both got it, but realistically you do not match. And to add to this picture, my gf is also FA and because she has been through a lot of negativity, abuse and lossess (just like myself), she has 1-3 friends and she's quite depressive towards life. To be honest, before I escaped, I did realize that most likely such type of girl would be my only chance or option, because 1 - I would not be able to connect with any girl who has had successful life, tons of positive memories, lots of experience in relationships and 2 - such girls would not consider me after getting to know my life experience. And now imagine you are in my place, you have girlfriend like mine. The reality is that you are still forever-alone, you have nothing really to talk about or really to connect over. I can't even go on walks with my gf, because we wouldnt have much to talk about. You do not do anything together with, besides maybe going to some restaurant to eat something. It's not even fun to travel somewhere, because your personalities dont really match. (I know, the alternative to that to just going by yourself everywhere looks pretty fucking grim, but it's almost identical, if you dont really connect with a person on a deep level). On top of that, I do realize that if she leaves my life, I will return to absolute square one, with even less than I have now. From my experience, I realized that I dont feel miserable, I dont feel depressed, I feel uplifted whenever I connect with people socially. For instance, I've had experience of going on vacation to a villa where a lot of unfamiliar adults chill together, and since I am ugly and that I've had boring useless life I became an outcast in that villa almost instantly. Other males who were there dominated heavily, each of them picked their niche and played their role in the group and girls loved that and I became an outcast. And even though I was around people and they spoke to me I felt even more lonely than I was feeling at home playing video games with voice chat with other folks. However, there was that one girl from her own different group and even though she had husband back home, we did chat and joke and when I connected with her positively like that and I could feel her respect, I felt uplifted, I didnt feel as depressed and as nihilistic or even almost suicidal. Same thing I felt after I've been working from home for about a year and then went to the office for a few days. And even though I thought my psyche got used to social isolation through my life time and that I liked working from home and not to see other people, I realized it wasn't fully truthful. Because when I stayed after office hours and few guys still were there and I spoke to them and we chatted about life a bit and I felt connection with them, I then again went back home uplifted, happy. This positive social interaction and more importantly feeling of being accepted and feeling of belonging to some social group is what human psyche needs to live healthy. I've never really fully had it due to being ugly or being useless. And the biggest problem, I feel like, is that it becomes almost impossible to escape it after 30 yo. You have very few chances to make senseful lasting realiable friendships after you leave college, but even less chances to do that after 30 yo. And if you are initially FA that means it happened because of something and if you havent fixed this something, then it's a signed sentence. (In my case it's being ugly and with years and aging I become even uglier due to grey hairs and baldness) The weight of that hopeless loneliness with no light at the end of the tunnel, where you have no dear soul who would care about you or respect and like you, it can truly drive you insane, that's why so many people around to cope with life turn to drugs or some self-destructive behavior or go mental or even change sexual orientation. And I have no answer to this life dilemma still. (I mean the answer would be to start looking like Brad Pitt, but we all know that's not gona happen) I wish I could create a group and bond with some group of driven motivated men who are ugly and that's why all of us struggled in this life, so at least we could support each other. (But then again, I feel like even if we all connected, it wouldnt fully work, since we'd know that we are all loners and it wouldn't really have same positive impact on psyche.)

N.B.: I'm mainly looking for the games listed in the title and at the bottom of the thread. Feel free to post other offers, but if I haven't responded to your comment(s) by my next posting, I likely wasn't able to find a trade that interested me.

IGS Rep Page: https://www.reddit.com/IGSRep/comments/ti26nz/mizznos_igs_rep_page/

So I’ve watched Poker probably since early 2000s when Hold ‘Em really gained popularity. Recently we went to Vegas and I could not find the courage to sit down at a poker table and play. I play online all the time but something about playing face to face with others seems to keep me away from trying it.
What advice would someone give to overcome this? Main concerns is with just never playing in a real game with real money I’d accidentally go out of turn or take too long to decide. Probably a dumb thought to have but just curious.

THE BIZARRE WEST
ADVENTURE, ACTION, COMEDY, MYSTERY
# 1 Arc. introduction to the world.
Chapter 1: the Good & the Bad
Page 1.
Panel:
Narrator: Continent, shaped by a long history of corruptly led divided nation states, struggling over dwindling resources and limited living space.
Page 2.
Panel:
Narrator: Frontier alone, still stands proud as the unyielding dwelling place of humanity.
(Visual: Double spread of the frontiers tall wall and countless buildings surrounding it.)
Page 3.
Panel:
Narrator: Daring adventurers venture beyond the secure and far reaching walls off the Frontier. Exploring uncharted territories where no human has tread before.

Woman: I don’t usually lecture for free, but I guess you goofballs could use a lesson or two!

• Wendigos have a hunting habit of ambushing unaware humans when they’re guards are down!

And after a brutal surprise attack with their sharp spear like horns and inhumane physicality makes fighting back useless…!
-They feast on raw human flesh!

Wojak Sheriff head of the train: God damn… Y'all just assumed because she's a wealthy, privileged high class woman that she doesn’t know about monsters living in our world!? Shame on all of you… Damn wendigos here, huh…
Panel:
Ranger: -But sheriff! This is not their usual place of hunting!
-That’s true, they are very territorial in nature!

• If I had to guess, they’re just intrigued by the noise the train makes.

Woman: They are not some less intelligent animals…
Wojak Sheriff head of the train: -Animals or not. They all behave the same when it’s the lead doing the talking. Rest easy madame if any trouble comes, we’ll be ready for it, guns blazing.
Woman: …A bullet or two won’t take them down.
Klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik klik…

Panel:

Panel:

Panel:
Black rider: I “dig” exclusively on women.

I don't know, script seems bit odd if you don't know what happens later and rhythm of the story seems all over the place for me. I'm not a native in English either so some of the sentences seem clunky and unnatural. And some other bs. Please tell me what should I improve on and if there is something you like about this. This is my first time trying to write something so please be nice and awful to me. I'll post the rest soon...

Thank you all for your feedback on my last post! https://www.reddit.com/PubTips/comments/1cli0qf/comment/l2uuinl/?context=3
I did some deep digging into more Romance queries / Dual POVs and changed the query to lean more into the romance plot. Also had a crit partner to look over my revisions and came to this. Anymore feedback before I send another batch of queries would be super appreciated! I think I got it this time :)

AGENT,
THE CURE FOR DESTINY, an 83,000-word Paranormal Romance is 21 (THE FILM) meets BRIDE BY ALI HAZELWOOD. It features POC sisters against impossible odds, with strong crossover potential that will appeal to Romantasy and YA readers and is set in the Nevada deserts outside Las Vegas.
Destiny, an eighteen-year-old orphan with unfulfilled dreams, is denied her wealthy father’s inheritance. Now, she’s forced to find another way to pay for her sister’s life-saving cancer treatments. With no other options, Destiny leaves home to dig up a relative’s grave and get the DNA required to claim their inheritance. While in the wrong place at the wrong time, she is caught in police fire. Fortunately, she is saved by a handsome stranger, but Tyler couldn’t have arrived at the worst time. After being rejected by her father, Destiny swears to never ask another man to stay in her life.
Tyler can never stay in one place. Not when he’s a shapeshifter from another world and can only keep the same body for a few weeks. As the last of his kind and now stranded on another planet, Tyler only wants to belong. But will any human accept his changing looks? Or his routine of inhabiting dead bodies to survive? When he meets Destiny, she’s everything he’s roamed the Earth for, but there’s one major problem: Destiny doesn’t know his drop-dead gorgeous body isn’t his. That beneath, he’s an antlered beast that frightens everyone away.
When they discover Tyler’s uncanny ability to never lose a game of chance, Tyler convinces Destiny to team up and compete in high-stakes poker tournaments to pay for her sister's cancer treatments. Thrust into the treacherous world of Las Vegas casinos and organized crime, they learn fate has brought them together with their better half. However, both are too stubborn to let go of the past. Insecure, Tyler hides his monstrous appearance and desire for Destiny to avoid rejection. And, still heartbroken by her deadbeat father, Destiny holds onto her vow to never make the first move in love. Instead, they continue to play games for money and with each other. All while, Destiny’s sister’s health declines. That is until a secret government agency, determined to exploit Tyler’s gambling powers, threatens to push them apart and undo everything they’ve worked for. Now, the star-crossed pair share an impossible dream—a life together in a body Tyler cannot keep.

Why Casino Gaming is Legal in Goa

Legal Framework

Economic Benefits

The legalization of casinos has significantly contributed to Goa’s economy. It has created numerous jobs, attracted high-spending tourists, and generated substantial tax revenue. This economic boost supports various public services and infrastructure development in the state.

3. Currency: Casinos in Goa operate using Indian Rupees (INR). Some casinos may offer chips in exchange for cash.
4. Timings: Casinos typically operate 24/7, but it's always good to check their timings and any special events beforehand.
5. Responsible Gaming: Set a budget for your gaming activities and stick to it. Casinos offer various forms of entertainment, so enjoy the overall experience rather than focusing solely on gambling.

Curious to hear thoughts and ideas about what others think is missing in the today’s poker industry. Feel free to bring up anything that comes to mind.
I’m a software engineer and part time poker player. As I’ve become more experienced, putting in a lot of volume on the tables online and live, as well a lot of time studying over the years, I’ve definitely started to notice inadequacies across different aspects of the poker industry. I’d like to start working on solutions that address these gaps at some point, but I wonder if others have similar opinions, or if there are other pain-points and opportunities they believe to be more important or impactful.
Feel free to dm me if you’d rather not comment here. Appreciate all perspectives folks might have!
Teasers:

• Something that just seems obvious but nobody is really doing it, or maybe a select few are doing it but not very well. Maybe it’s something that businesses in other industries do for their customers?
• Easier way to record hand histories? Online poker has this covered for the most part. For live poker there are some products out there but the process is still super manual. What if you had an automated way of recording hand histories and the ability to load those hand histories into a sim with a single click.
• Stats related to results/performance. I personally wish that TheHendonMob.com offered better sorting and filtering options related to live tournament data. For instance I can see the 2024 Money List and the All Time Money list for the world, as well as the US, but I can’t look at the 2024 money list for a given state or city. There’s an all-time money list for the state, but what about this year? What about stats related to specific card-rooms? We can see the biggest earners for live tournaments in one place, and stats for online wizards on a different site, but what about a database that combines both so we can see who ranks the highest across all formats?
• Sources of information. I use PokerAtlas but the process for targeting upcoming tournaments is often times tedious and inefficient due to a lack of available search filtering/sorting functionality, as well as the fact that many big tournaments far off in the future aren’t posted for a certain venue until the start date is approaching in the next couple weeks.
• Player recognition. Some players want the lime light, and want to be recognized for their accomplishments while others prefer to remain in the shadows. Would you appreciate being recognized publicly for major accomplishments?
• Availability of real data insights. MDA has been growing recently, especially with the rapid advancements in AI. Do you wish there were more free/low-cost data insights available? I know I wish there was more data related to live poker. Chewy is working on a software product that processes and analyzes data from hands played on live poker streams to derive data driven insights but a lot of players conceal certain tendencies when they’re live.
• Retail products that just don’t seem to be available. Anything at all. I always have a backpack or a crossbody because playing 8+ hours is a regular thing for me, and I also hate having a bunch of stuff in my pockets. Maybe some people want a kangaroo pouch on their sweater where they can securely carry all their stuff without having to have a bag. Don’t think I’d wear a sweater with a kangaroo pouch personally, but maybe others would, maybe a secret pocket somewhere in your hoodie, pants, hat, tube sock etc to hold your cash would be nice to have? Money-clips, or cool rubber bands? Better card protectors? Stylish articles of clothing that cover your neck/face to protect against live reads?
• Seems like the vast majority of poker apparel brands are failures. Imo most of them are super cringe, and have “I’m a degen” written all over them. Do you wish there were some quality, and perhaps subtle clothing lines that you could where in your daily life and at the poker table? Something that was like the Nike of poker.
• Gaps in learning material/resources. There are a ton of products out there, but we’ve all run into scenarios where we were either overwhelmed and not even sure where to start, or the material just wasn’t organized in a way that felt effective.
• Issues you have to deal with on a regular basis when it comes to the casino, card room or online platform you use to play? Do the reward systems suck? How about the marketing? Does the website look reasonable or does it look like Craigslist, and is it updated on a regular basis?
• A supplement or drug that enhances focus and reduces anxiety?
