Hey everyone! My name is Ryan Laplante. I've been playing poker professionally for 14 years. I've been a poker coach for most of the major training sites, as well as have built my own.

With this experience as well as my passion for all things poker, 1 of my best friends and I have started a vlog together.

My partner on this is Highhands89 - A poker pro with a degree in video marketing and an amazing as well as funny person.

Together we've put our hearts into this vlog and strongly believe that everyone here would enjoy it.

The vlog is focused on live hands I've played so far, but will also involve hands he's played live/online as well as other styles of content. Highhands part in each vl

With the WSOP just around the corner I thought it'd be helpful to post my general thoughts around buying and selling action.

I personally have been selling action since I first started playing real money, doing so first on sites like PartTimePoker then on 2+2 forums and to friends/backers/etc. I have also bought a lot of action over this time and am friends with some of largest general action buyers.

Being as this is part of how I make a more consistent living, have done so for 10 years, and have made my investors a lot of money lifetime, I feel as though I have a good perspective on this as a seller and as a buyer and as someone who cares about the health of the industry.

Ran some numbers for vegas tourneys in 2018. (Counted manually myself using CardPlayer calander).

Unique events not counting extra flights.

For buyin ranges:

300-599: 319

600-1099: 96

1100-1700: 82

For buy-ins over $100 and under $300 there were more than the 300-599.

Not being able to custom tag people means I have no idea who a lot of my friends are on Epic as I forget who gave me what name.

Maybe I'm just getting old, or this is just a subtle brag that I have a lot of friends...

But I finally cashed the WSOP Main Event!

Was 1 of the last things I really wanted to achieve on my "poker bucket list".

Have 112k in chips going into day 4, will be bb6k when play resumes in 2 hours.

Hopefully I can spin it up!
