JR says he's quitting HCL and high stakes poker. He says he's had very bad experiences and seen some really dark shit.

Top Comment: He touches on something I’ve wondered about these big games in general and Hustler in particular, how many of these players are in way over their heads bank roll wise? I get the feeling that a lot of these people don’t have the rolls to play this game but they risk it anyway.
IamA Phil Hellmuth Jr. aka the Poker Brat and I've won $18 million playing poker AMA!
Main Post:
(My first post was shut down for starting too early. Let’s try this again!)
Hi everyone, I’m Phil Hellmuth Jr. Some say that I’m the best live tournament poker player of all time, with more than $18 million in winnings. With a record 14 WSOP bracelets and 52 WSOP final tables, I was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2007. I was nicknamed “Poker Brat” for my tableside antics, and I’m also a bestselling author with my own clothing line, poker app and multiple television and movie gigs. I enjoy giving to charity, especially on behalf of fallen policeman and fireman, and I often donate my WSOP bracelets.
One interesting thing about me that most people don’t know is that I was friends with Chris Farley, when we were growing up in Wisconsin. And, when I started out in poker, I did so badly that I had to go back to Wisconsin to do farm work to earn a new bankroll.
I’m also now a partner with Poker Central, the world's only 24/7 poker TV channel that’s going live on October 1st. So now’s your chance to Ask Me Anything!
I will begin answering questions here now through September 20th.

EDIT: I'm all done for the night. Thanks for all the questions everyone! I'll be stopping by periodically between now and Sunday to answer more, so keep them coming.

Top Comment: Usually it's the guys who aren't the flashiest that have real money. And the guys who flaunt and flex like Mikki and Wes have that thing Stanley Tang yesterday called "funny money"

Top Comment: Tough listen to start with, he didn't really give much back, testament to the lads interviewing skills for perseverance on this one. I'm 45 minutes in now and they've broke him down to a really good interview
Why did Jackie and Tony's robbery of the poker game gain them respect?
Main Post:
The robbery of the game is talked about a few times in the show, and when it's talked about the events are described, and the positive after effects for those involved are brought up, but I don't think it's explicitly stated why it reaped benefits.
I don't see why this would have made people acknowledge that Jackie and Tony were on the up and to be respected. I get that with Jackie Jr's failed one, he probably gets clipped because of the murder and shooting Silvio, but nonetheless I don't see why there wouldn't have been a similar outcome for the original one.
I just can't think of a situation whereby made men, experienced in the mafia for years, would have a reaction of...
"Well, they ruined my game, made me lose face in front of high value guests, risked lives, stole my money, but I respect their bravery and they gave me some money back, so I now will do nothing and in fact acknowledge them as people on the rise"
Instead of...
"Little pricks, I'll take my money back and then kill them".
Or at best they return the money and because of their connections get to stay alive but have to keep their heads down or be demoted.
Any thoughts?
