It was refreshing to speak openly and honestly about how I feel about the many topics covered including the current state of high stakes poker in LA. Thanks for having me. An edited version of this podcast with more context to the HCL game breaking, along with Chinese subtitles added will be released on my channel soon 🙏
Nick, a little advice when a guest comes on the show let them talk and you listen. You are not being interviewed Andy is; so stop injecting yourself in the commentary. It’s not about you, dude I like you and respect your show show but it’s a little annoying the way you inject yourself in someone’s interview. Watch this podcast and you will see what I am saying. Much respect and only trying to help. Maug-Dog
I been watching HCL since day one and I've seen many great players legends or not, Andy I can see the Passion he has for the game(poker) he is great for the game no one should be questioning this man. He makes some good calls also creates good action brings the stacks to any table he is ready any second for a huge 300k+ pot. Huge thank you to HCL and Andy stacks also many other players like Francisco,pepe,sniper Henry, Mariano,rampage,Nick airball hopefully this is your year. I really hope Garrett returns soon when Garrett and Andy are in the table u can feel the strong vibes on the table thank you for reading I'm always here for my like HCL much love Snipemares keep up the great work host,staff,mods Ryan Nick ❤
find it interesting that almost every cash game pro is always trying to create other revenue streams ...it really i s a tough way to make an easy living..
I loved seeing Nick squirm, and im loving how veronica posed her questions and made nicks heart beat out his folded arms chest 😂😂😂. I love it because she loves it and how much uncomfort she's dishing out to nick hahaha. I like nicks repsonses because they're just amusement at this stage. Everyone 'knows' the truth. It was so amusing that Nick disregarded the jury because he knew the verdict would be overwhelming, lol. But we dont need the more conclusive judge and jury because we had the be-all and end all instead. Yes, folks, that's right!! The investigation 😂. All was right with the world after that....NOT!
It’s almost as if berkey has nothing of actual value to talk about on his “poker” podcast. I’ve seen him spend 30 minutes talking about his over 50 softball league swing 😂😂😂
1:12:20 the man Andy talking about is a Chinese ( maybe named Chen or Eric), and the person who brought him with is a Chinese woman named Sayar(or something like that. And she run very good on that stream.
Vertucci: ‘I’m a counterpuncher’. Also Vertucci: ‘let’s permanently keep up a picture of Berkey referring to a specific criminal code provision on my podcast to imply he’s a criminal in a petty attempt to destroy his credibility on an ongoing basis.’ Class all the way baby 🎩
Andy was happier as the "silent assassin" with little downside to being something he wasn't.....I think he has gotten away from that ~ perhaps he should go back to the assassin and retreat to his sanctuary of that particular genesis IMO. That was his perfect poker self with no outside distortion to bother him. I think he is better off as the mystery ..... I enjoyed this interview.
I'm surprised at how much hate for Nick there is in these comments. I like Nick.. he seems smart and fair, and as men, that's where the quality man starts.
I wish you would have asked Andy what he thought about Garret saying “let’s stop pretending Andy is a good player.” Didn’t he say that during J4? I remember Andy and Airball talking about it.
Nick u wanted the mic left on. You want drama & reality. The ups & downs make for a good stream. Let things happen organically. You lose all credibility if u want to control the narrative. The rant & the natural reactions are good for the stream. If u want keep a natural reaction off of the stream or out of the chat. Then u r trying to control & sensor. You say one thing & then do the opposite. Nick your actions don't match the words that come out of your mouth. Quite disappointing. I do like the stream, the commentary & the players. But please dont sensor. You let things happen naturally when it paints you in a good light, then control when you don't like it.
Great stuff 🎉 only way j4 isnt a cheatednhand is if she stuck with she thought she had a pair of 3s since she did not stay with that thought she had to of cheated and who knows maybe there was a bigger ring
she said she knew Garret bluffs a lot or had a flush draw which is why it is believable that she called with nothing..then they ran it twice and the golden boy bricked it out..if he chopped he wouldn't have said anything most likely until after the stream..i've seen all types of cheating from live to online and it was believable to me that she would make that call for whatever the amount was..not saying that someone didn't relay to her that Gman had nothing but to me it is believable that she would call there with nothing.. i would even consider it myself but fold knowing Gman was probably on some big draw
50:13 "i play in the games in comfortable....." After being a complete whale now he's a winning player on his own stream where him and his business partner have access to the other players hole cards in real time for "camera angle purposes"🤣
@coolkidmurphycool8757 i can't say there is a point to it or why a majority of players shuffle chips.

I belive this to be true. He has in hi head how the game is played by the crushers and fails in his attempts to go there. He's no doubt a better player than what we're seeing on stream because I believe somewhat that he is taking spots where he's losing money just to keep his seat and get his exposure as he said. It's probably a bribe requirement. I wonder how garret got away with cheating on there for so long, because I seen all sorts or weirdness from him before j4. Him standing up in big all ins and looking over very deliberately at oppo's cards. Like really garret? What are you at here man GTFO

ur a true OG ambassador to poker mr stacks!
Say hi to Stella 🍓 for me!
Respect 🙏🏼
Shame u had to kiss ass to nick because nik airball and santosh just leaves and the game breaks
Enjoyed the pod, you're a refreshing voice of wisdom. Thanks!
Even with an awesome guest like Andy, all Nick can talk about is himself 😂
Yup, and Veronica doesn't hold back in being the voice of the people 🤣
We out here❤
I'm a big fan of Andy Stacks!!
bro sucks at poker but nice guy

He loves talking about himself 😂
Nick turns mole hills into mountains. He’s always big drama.
He's a big girls blouse 😂
Andy is one of the TOP players on HCL!!! By far if not the best!!!
Andy is a genuine dude for sure. Much respect!
Andy is the GOAT 🐐
Andy is a beast. The epitome of a professional poker player
Andy
Your a classy gentleman, I think you are very sincere and very much love watching you play poker!! I hope you find your peace moving forward
stop the lies. Andy 100% blamed HCL.
Yeah I mean it was pretty plain English in that tweet. Not like it was in Chinese lol
Imagine having to be on this stream to keep your seat
Nick definitely has Cop mentality
Explain. Lol
that's an insult to cops
@@recPokerFish who da fuk cares
I still feel like HCL did Andy wrong in that situation.
This was a really nice show Nick & Veronica and Good Luck with whatever your decide to do in future Andy!
Great interview for real - also fun to hear Nick's view on the game breaking lol
Let’s all remember the airball loyalty line for the future
btw great to see Valerino aka Veronica back, she and Nick have some great fireworks chemistry together. Both are great interviewers, excellent job.
@andystackspoker speaking nothing but pure FACTS this information is definitely going to make ripples for the good.

Gman will never be back on HCL because Vertucci has a fragile ego
Andy loves using the word 'like'.
Word on the poker streets is Veronica has seen more helmet than a military commander :/
You mean glans?
Nick..please do a stream with all the cheaters and scammers
Hahahaha
Great episode Andy stacks class act
Santosh needed a ride from nik airball who doesn’t have a drivers license an Ubers everywhere?
Whats nick on about,he looks so uncomfortable and full of shit,Andys says the way it is.
NV blessing us with more pods!!! get garrett back on lol 😂😂😂
Timestamps please
This guy Nick acts like this stuff is real important
find it interesting that almost every cash game pro is always trying to create other revenue streams ...it really i s a tough way to make an easy living..
Still not a Pod where they don't speak of Berkey ! Sad !
Drinking game:
Drink every time Nick says “I”…
Small sips only to avoid alcohol poisoning…
Im hammered dude
I loved seeing Nick squirm, and im loving how veronica posed her questions and made nicks heart beat out his folded arms chest 😂😂😂. I love it because she loves it and how much uncomfort she's dishing out to nick hahaha.
I like nicks repsonses because they're just amusement at this stage. Everyone 'knows' the truth.
It was so amusing that Nick disregarded the jury because he knew the verdict would be overwhelming, lol.
But we dont need the more conclusive judge and jury because we had the be-all and end all instead. Yes, folks, that's right!! The investigation 😂. All was right with the world after that....NOT!
Super high stakes week. The one that is 6:44 long. At the 5:00 mark. The game breaks up and Andy is upset.
The best part of HCL by FAR is Billy DGAF commentating, he’s hilarious. Also Bart Hansen.
That is an adorable kitty 🐈⬛
It’s almost as if berkey has nothing of actual value to talk about on his “poker” podcast. I’ve seen him spend 30 minutes talking about his over 50 softball league swing 😂😂😂

Let’s make this clear HCL needs the players not the other way around lol
I wish I had the money to play against Andy. I'm sure I could learn alot from him
Channeling your inner berkey with the cats on the podcast...
Pet the cat please
Veronica wont pet the cat, why
It’s a CGI cat, berkeys making a video on it right now. #catgate
Allergies
Vertucci stills pets you even though he’s allergic to you.
Andy was happier as the "silent assassin" with little downside to being something he wasn't.....I think he has gotten away from that ~ perhaps he should go back to the assassin and retreat to his sanctuary of that particular genesis IMO. That was his perfect poker self with no outside distortion to bother him. I think he is better off as the mystery ..... I enjoyed this interview.
Just maybe he’s allergic to that damn cat like most of us…
For me, there’s no show without Valerie!!!!
Val or riot!!
Veronica always talking over nick LOL
Classy dude 🫡🫡
Nick I love the pod but man you gotta ditch that goofy warning at the beginning.
Agreed
@@VeronicaAngryPolak Thank you Valerie! Knock some sense into him! Though I’m sure that’s hard to do! 😂
I'm surprised at how much hate for Nick there is in these comments. I like Nick.. he seems smart and fair, and as men, that's where the quality man starts.
You're fkn blind if he thinks he has any of those qualities
Dumbest comment of the show 25:59
If Andy was up 600k, the game wouldn’t have broke. What a stupid comment by Nick
veronica is necessary for this show, she keeps nick's godzilla sized ego in check
I wish you would have asked Andy what he thought about Garret saying “let’s stop pretending Andy is a good player.” Didn’t he say that during J4? I remember Andy and Airball talking about it.

@beesting23he is from Chicago ..RINO @ best .
Andy should have gotten an invite to that game LOL it's only right.
I pretty sure he said you use Nic and bank on the loyalty you just confirmed it
Great stuff 🎉 only way j4 isnt a cheatednhand is if she stuck with she thought she had a pair of 3s since she did not stay with that thought she had to of cheated and who knows maybe there was a bigger ring

Andy - anytime you're next in HK you are invited join our Low Stakes game (.25/0.5). One bank is USD60. Yes sixty bucks. 😊
Good podcast. Andy is great. Too many cats.
42:27 . LOL
50:13 "i play in the games in comfortable....."
After being a complete whale now he's a winning player on his own stream where him and his business partner have access to the other players hole cards in real time for "camera angle purposes"🤣
Nit has got a great coach and circle of pros he goes over hands and has tighten way up since his whale days.
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
#FreeAndy
This is just Nick's narrative channel, always cutting off andy
What the f&ck is that look Veronica is giving Andy?
aieball hustler little pet followed by maraino
What if you get rid of Nick and make it the Valerie Vertucci show?
Just Andy and Nit would be interesting without valicky or whatever nit calls her this week
Who hurt you bro
Veronica looks like angelicas doll from rugrats. Nick is a failed cop. Weird duo.
HCL is dead I was a fan but this is not good if Andy leaves it’s over for me
adult "children"
In my 40 years of playing poker, there was only 1 private game I didnt beat. After almost a year I stopped going. Had to be getting cheated somehow.
Nah they did Andy dirty you should leave HCL and go to balleys
So scrap the jury system according to this clown 😂😂😂
Andy big fish
Andy just wants to play and bank, respect. HCL just wants to bank regardless of integrity.
Game of gold was trash! Doesn’t even compare to a big stream.
poker is EASY
Biggest fan of Andy - but he needs to check his ego and not try and go up against any player. He needs to pick better spots
Veronica is so annoying
yawn
Poker/Gambeling is a slimy business.....period
Andy fell off
🐋
andy whay are you constant shuffling chips non stop so annoying
U obviously dont play alot of live poker. Everyone shuffles chips
whats the point of it@@brightestfuture
@coolkidmurphycool8757 i can't say there is a point to it or why a majority of players shuffle chips. I know i shuffle a lot of times because of bordem, not even realizing im doing it during a 10-hour session. I know i saw someone shuffling, so i practiced it until i got it down. Now i can do a few little tricks. Some people are nervous and have tells by the way they shuffle. A lot of people, im sure, just do it by habit, joining in to the melody of chips in a busy room
Andy is a fish that believes he is a top pro. At best, he is a bit above average
🤣🤣sit at the table with him
I belive this to be true. He has in hi head how the game is played by the crushers and fails in his attempts to go there.
He's no doubt a better player than what we're seeing on stream because I believe somewhat that he is taking spots where he's losing money just to keep his seat and get his exposure as he said. It's probably a bribe requirement. I wonder how garret got away with cheating on there for so long, because I seen all sorts or weirdness from him before j4. Him standing up in big all ins and looking over very deliberately at oppo's cards. Like really garret? What are you at here man GTFO
Anybody would be on monkey tilt the way the timing of the game breaking up happenned to Andy, as in right after he's down 600k.
lick lick lick
