On Hustler Casino Live’s “Max Pain Monday,” show regular Sashimi wore a onesie that revealed fake large breasts, much to the amusement of some on poker Twitter and the disquiet of others.
A video of the live broadcast on Monday night surfaced online, prompting some interesting comments. Sashimi is an Instagrammer and YouTuber who regularly documents her poker lesson videos at Hustler Casino Live and Poker at the Lodge, which are streamed from The Lodge Card Club in Round Rock, Texas of.
In the clip, Hustler Casino Live commentator Kyle Ravreby (aka “RaverPoker”) laughs as the camera zooms in on Sashimi’s chest as he says, “I’m taking my eyes off the screen right now. Sashimi, please gone.”
Many others shared his laughter with jokes on poker twitter, including Bill Perkins and Matt Berkey.
“Sashimi is always invited to my meetings,” poker vlogger Joey Ingram wrote.
But not everyone thinks this is a ridiculous thing to do. Sherry Pluskota asks Hustler Casino Live to “do better”. Kyna England simply asked “why” Sashimi felt the need to wear a onesie that exposed fake boobs during a streaming poker game. K.L. Cleeton wasn’t too keen either, and made the call for the popular live poker show.
“Well, it’s official and final – @HCLPokerShow is a joke, objectively bad… Nothing to fully restore credibility,” Cleeton wrote.
Danielle Andersen defended Feldman and the show, writing: “One of the things that makes HCL so special is their willingness to make people characters. The good, the bad, Ugly, and sometimes politically incorrect, in all its entertaining glory. Don’t start censoring now because some people on the internet are pissed.”
David Tuchman, a regular commentator for Hustler Casino Live, disagreed with Feldman that he shouldn’t have downvoted it because “it’s so hysterical.”
“I think the word you’re looking for is awkward, but embarrassing to everyone,” Jami Lafay replied to Tuchman’s post. “Let’s keep in mind that men don’t think it’s a big deal, and women may view poker differently because they struggle. Women don’t feel valued. I’m sure they often have a different opinion.”
Max Pain Monday, which airs Monday, is a different kind of poker stream than most are used to. Slow rolling is recommended, and players don’t double play in massive all-in pots. The game is more relaxed than most poker streams and players are having fun and banter. Without these elements, it wouldn’t be a true Painful Monday.
Sashimi is a regular on Max Pain Monday, and remains one of the more colorful characters in the game. Many viewers enjoy watching their games on a weekly basis. However, in this week’s episode, some felt it was overdone, while others absolutely loved it. A single decision is standard on nearly every topic on Poker Twitter.
