  • @leoclavel
    @leoclavel 3 месяца назад +5

    Vanessa's $1k buyout offer was ridiculous. The $100k offer was way more reasonable - locking in $100k when he is still 2 bracelets short. Altho 180 to 1 seems insane (and could certainly be disasterous financially) it's almost surely under-priced. Wining 3 bracelets is hard. Doing it in one given year is astronomical, even for a top pro.

      It was a stupid bet that might not have been paid out if it won. Vanessa had no idea have much you can manipulate your win chances. Rebuy tournaments you just blast until you have a stack. He even lost a heads-up, that just shows Mercier is an honest player. He could have paid him to win. 180 to 1 is obv shit odds untill a world class player bets it and goes hard for it.

  • @joshuapatrick682
    @joshuapatrick682 4 месяца назад +4

    It’s intriguing because I honestly think that the only reason jason didn’t let her buy out is because he said in an interview it would take a shockingly low amount of money for him to walk away from poker forever. 5 million is the number I think hr mentioned? If he had all his own action this would have got him damn close.

      Her math was fine. Jason could easily take that $100,000 or $110,000. Not sure if her offer includes his initial $10,000. Then he sells action that he will win 2 more bracelets at 18 to 1 or higher. Which he would have been able to do easy. We know this because she was selling action at 25 to 1 as a hedge.

      mathmatically he should've needed better than 180-1 against to take the bet in the first place, and yes, that same math would say he should've taken the 100 when offered to take a slam dunk 90,000 profit. but probably didn't for same reason people buy a lottery ticket, or bet ever in roulette against a casino or a parlay bet against a bookie, you put in a small amount and dream of the huge score. difference between at least 99% of those in here commenting and j.mercier in 2016 (probably still now too) is that to him 10,000 isn't a lot of money. in every one of these bets mentioned your payout on the backend isn't commensurate to the odds of you winning, thus a bad bet. he clearly found it more valuable to possibly win this bet than just take the 90,000 profit. her fears of having to maybe some small % of the time owe him 2 mil lead to her offering a horrible "here just take this 100,000 (90,000 profit) so i don't have to worry for the next weeks of losing 2 mil to you".

      the 1,000 buy out "offer" makes her seem more inebriated than the original bet does. in what world would somebody as rich at the time as j.mercier ever accept a 9,000 guaranteed loss when 1. he can afford to lose 10,000 easily (true this for sure) and 2. was in pretty decent shape to win 1.8 mil (he had won 1 already), esp if he thought the original bet was a good enough one to take (180-1 against him winning 3 bracelet's in 2016); i'd say anybody should've been getting better than 180-1 against on 3 bracelets for sure, but that might just be me. in the years after 2016 this could be argued to be slightly less true, as there are more and more bracelet's every year, more now than in 2016.

      Not paying a bet like that would be the end of her poker career. A lot of the high stakes poker world is built on IOUs and buying/swapping action. You get one chance with your reputation, and then you're done. The internet is forever. Would it be worth the 1.8 milly to have your legacy be that of a thieving, lying, scumbag? For some people, yeah. I think she would have paid if she lost, personally.

      math says take the slam dunk 90 dimes profit, but that same math he went against only accepting 180-1 on a triple bracelet win in one year (i.e. even if he's literally twice as more likely to win a bracelet than anybody else it's still a bigger long shot to win 3 bracelets in one year than 180-1 against etc). had i been in his shoes i'd have easily taken 90,000 no risk win, but 10,000 is a lot of money to me, not so to 2016 j.mercier.

    Unlike many, I actually met Vanessa....or met her drink that is.
    I was playing Baccarat during the PSPC in the Bahamas in 2019. I heard a commotion and noted Selbst arguing with a dealer at the blackjack table that was at a right angle to my table....
    It appeared that she had lost a series of hands and was upset at something the dealer had done. She had the attention of everyone in the vicinity.
    Next thing we knew, she threw her drink at the dealer. She mostly missed him; however, my table was collateral damage. We were all sprayed.
    She then proceeded to quickly walk away from the table, and, in the distance, we could see she was being pursued by men in suits.
    I don't know what the fallout was, and I didn't see any mention in social media. Which led me to think....was this an unremarkable event for her and, for her, just an otherwise average Tuesday night at the casino?
    That was the highlight of an otherwise dismal series for me, until I was fortunate enough to play with comedian Norm MacDonald in one of the side tourneys. Funny guy he was. Mean girl she was.
