This is the launchpad equivalent for poker
Poker is dying in Las Vegas.
We asked VIPs in our network to rate their private poker experience here over the last 18 months.
The average was a 4 out of 10.
Don’t take my word for it.
Here’s what actually happened.
For the last three years, we weren’t the game runners.
We were the guys in the middle.
If you’re a recreational who played high stakes private poker in Vegas during that time, there’s a good chance you either got booked through STAX or sat in a game we helped fill.
Our job was simple: know our guy.
Who does he enjoy playing with? How many pros is he willing to tolerate? What kind of side games ruin the experience for him? What makes him ACTUALLY want to come back next time?
We spent years having those conversations with recreationals, learning what they loved and hated about certain games.
Then we’d look at what was running and try to put our guy in the best spot that day.
But once our guy sat down, we didn’t control what happened next.
Sometimes the lineup started great. But then a couple recreationals leave, and more pros get called instead of the game breaking.
Other nights, the lineup was never really there to begin with. The game runner would send it anyway, hoping for walk-ins, and then fill the empty seats with pros just to keep it running.
Our agency was part of a system where we were compensated by pro seats, and we weren’t the only ones getting them.
Each promise a game runner made to give a pro access made sense on its own. But without a hard cap on pros, those promises added up until the lineup became something our recreational players never would have signed up for.
So that was on me.
I was the one asking my guy to trust the game while having no authority over the lineup changes.
For three years, I thought enough recreational feedback, churn data, and common sense would convince Vegas game runners to take guest experience seriously.
Plenty of them understood the problem.
But when a game got short, they still had to decide whether to add more pros or break.
Most chose to run.
We kept hearing the same complaints and bringing the same feedback back to the game runners making those decisions.
It didn’t work.
After three years of watching our guys have the same bad experiences, I had to accept that if the game runners didn’t share our lineup standards, there was no way for me to enforce them.
The thing is, these weren’t standards we invented.
We adopted them directly from what recreational players told us they wanted.
Great action. Fun people. Lineups you can trust.
So now we’re running our own games at Venetian with your standards, published and enforced.
If the lineup isn’t good enough, we cancel.
If it ever falls below, we break.
And if there’s something you think we’re missing about what makes a great poker experience, we want to hear it.
These games are part of Venetian’s new premium collection. We put a strict limit on the number of pros.
From a time-collection standpoint, they’re the most expensive games in the city.
From a value standpoint, they’re a hell of a lot cheaper than getting bled out by three or four robots.
More importantly, you spend the night with people who treat poker like the social game it’s supposed to be.
And even if you’re not poker famous, you can still get a shot to play on stream with some of the biggest names.
If you missed our first stream, watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=iMzAQNuO…
Lineups will change.
Our standards won’t.
DM me for access to @stax_poker at Venetian.

In collaboration with @olam_labs, we ran a series of experiments letting agent swarms compete in Minecraft and Mindustry.
We wanted to see what kinds of agent dynamics would emerge when they shared a world over long periods of time.
We found civil bureaucracy, thousands of telegraphic A2A messages, and OpenAI models retrieving the game's source code to beat Claude.
More on our findings below:
the best coffee in Singapore is Apartment and anyone that shills anything other than it as the best should just be blocked
My DMs are open too, same deal and a chance of joining @UwUCorpo if you’re consistently good
this brings me back to something i have wrote on my channel awhile ago. the key takeaway from what Shinra has wrote is not to blindly copy what he has done but rather, read how he trades and see if there's anything that you can take from it to apply to your own framework/system. If you copy wholesale how he trades, i can guarantee you that you would not be able to replicate the same results. but the first step is understanding yourself and what's the most optimal way to trade that fits your personality.

people really be thinking their new little on chain shitter will compete with lending markets like aave and pendle etc.
extremely comical lmfaooo. If they are not 100% company owned proxies no defi whales gonna deposit into them unless it’s their own washes. Be very cautious about those tokens imo
the amount of DD done by people on new coins are hilarious
are people just too complacent right now or too down bad to shill trash to make money
i dont think any product has come as close to @JupiterExchange when it comes to moving the needle for the onchain experience. As someone who was punting shitters on Raydium and Uniswap before that, Jupiter was a genuine life changing experience. The only protocol that came close to it was probably @MeteoraAG but Jupiter has a huge lead. Jupiter's limit orders are very very competitive too with very good fills. The team that is able to replicate this experience in the EVM market will win huge.
