some micro hands vs wobbly by tuna333, August 04


hey wobbly thx again for playing micros - have almost 1500 hands w/ you, so a lot of study material

anyway to the session: It was actually kinda tough for me to play right now, because I didnt play poker last 2 months - I started week ago and was playing 2 (max 3 tables, max session was 95mins), just to get back into it, trying to get better, etc. But when I saw you are playing this low I wanted to play w/ you as much as I can. So I ended 6 tabling for 4 hours, which is definetly in my top10 longest sessions in my life + my standard is 4 tabling. I had pretty terrible stats, which is probably not suprise, because of how tired I was at the end (my standard stats in bracket)

VPIP 24.2 (26.9)
PFR 17.6 (21)
3bet 5.1 (6.2)
WTSD 19.3 (25.4)
W$SD 47.4 (51)
WWSF 40.6 (44.9)
Flop Agg 27.9 (41)


session graph:
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/853/todayn.th.png


I have losing redline and 7.16bb/100 in last 100k hands on 25NL/50NL and 50NL is my current limit. Im pretty happy w/ my play in 1st half, but then I started to be tired and played just because I wanted to have some hands w/ you. This is pretty obvious at the end of the graph - I started to be pretty passive. And after 2/3 of the session I started to have a really bad feeling, that you are overplaying me pretty badly. Anyway it was great experience

Hands:

http://weaktight.com/4894485

I just called pre because you were folding so much to 4bets (I 4bet you twice - both bluffs) + playability + position. On flop I beat all your bluffs + you will bluff cards, which hit me + some eq vs your value range. Turn is great card for me because you will value bet worse too - I just called to let your bluffs in. Now Im insta calling any river




http://weaktight.com/4894487

In this hand I maybe leveled myself, but I would never do this vs anyone on 50NL w/o reads. I called t and r, because you werent calling that much form blinds, so not much 6x in your range + I thought there is good chance you can turn something like 77, 88, some 9x into bluff, or do this w/ some straight or flush draws. Because I wouldnt cbet 6x, wouldnt open 96o vs you, so I will have only 10 combos (QQ, 99, 66, 96s, Q6s) I can easily stack off with and if you believed I would fold Qx, etc., which you very easily could, then I will fold massive % of my tun brl range




http://weaktight.com/4894488

Here I really dont know what to do. I shipped, because if I call it will be obv for both of us that my range is mostly Qx and you set up stacks for nice river shove. And Im pretty sure, that on the river I would be capable of making much bigger mistake, than you, so this is why I shoved. I would shove here JTs, AcTc, AcJc, KcTc, KcJc, so I can have some bluffs too and you have 31% to call so you can call me w/ worse. Another option is to call and c/f river - calling turn is definitely ev+, c/f r is ev 0 and just take the pot, when you decide to give up w/ bluffs - although this is very exploitable it protects me from making mistake and we wont be playing against each other soon, but Im still not sure



http://weaktight.com/4894489

This hand is from later part of the session and I have absolutely no idea, what I was doing on river. On the turn you both have pretty capped ranges and I dont, so decided to bluff. On the river 7x is top of your range and I should never expect you to fold it, so I should bet like 7.5$ w/ all my bluffs to let you fold weak part of your range and I should overbet here only w/ value hands



http://weaktight.com/4894491

Lol at this hand. On the river I was confused (as I told you), because I thought you wouldnt bet this much w/ K on the turn (this assumption was probably totally wrong), so I thought you were polarized and then on the river when you bet small I was like "he cant never expect me to raise here" (I would raise only A7s, but good chance I would raise this hand earlier and A5s), so you are missing so much value -> you wouldnt value bet like that, but on the other side I tought you will not bluff like that. lol. AA made sense. nh



http://weaktight.com/4894492

Another tough hand, altough I think your range is weighted towards value, but then again you need me to fold little less than 50% of my flop c/c range and if Im folding this, then you are printing money. Around this time I started to be tired and had that feeling that you are overplaying me



http://weaktight.com/4894495

In this hand I would probably check some Ax to strengthen my checking range and would bluff and brl here a lot, so this is probably fine



http://weaktight.com/4894497

This is probably fine too + I have As



http://weaktight.com/4894500





http://weaktight.com/4894501

Probably ok too, maybe turn is little bit close



http://weaktight.com/4894684

This is on of the latest hand in session and I misplayed this pretty badly. But side note first: In later part of the session (and this is how I would describe that "bad feeling that you are overplaying me"). You started to use really big sizings vs me to polarize your range -> and I was feeling like "how can I bluffcatch vs high stakes guy, knowing you will bluff w/ ok frequencies, so I will never make money by bluffcatching you". So this force me either to make hands, which will beat at least some part of your value range (LOL) or start to bluff you. But I was so tired to make some big bluffs and I think you know all of this and this is the reason of the overplay, right??
To the hand: I called flop to let fish in + let you bluff + I thought you will not pay me (!!!). On the turn again big sizing and again I beat nothing of your value range, but here I should use these awesome blockers and turn this hand into bluff and shove. If I would do this I believe you would easily fold more than 90% of your brl range. I would rep pretty thin, but even 4x would be bluffcather and I think you would give me credit and fold maybe even 4x
!!! = this is exactly, why I should started turning hands into bluffs, but me tired = passive



http://weaktight.com/4894503

When I checked the river I expected you to check here almost always, so didnt expect you would bet. I decided to raise, because as played its pretty obv, that I would bet river w/ whole air part of my range, so my checking range is basically SDV+. This was around 1/3 of session, so you knew Im not random idiot and I thought there is good chance you would give me credit, because I easily couldnt have air and I thought you would fold everything. This is maybe optimistic and this is probably the only 1 hand, where I would like to know, what you had



http://weaktight.com/4894505

This is from early part of session. W/ no history, just from balance perspective - this is well played, right??



http://weaktight.com/4894506

Funny hand for me, again from early part of session. I wanted to 4bet so much (thought its good spot + blocker + lot of respect) and only reason, why I didnt do it was your sizing. From start you were using smaller sizing and if you 3bet on 5 or 5.25 max, I would 4bet

Live Play Motivation by SolarM, August 03


Hey LP,

First of all, I'm 22, have some jobs which give me like 600€/month and I am living on that money. Well and it has been my dream to live on playing live Poker since I know about Poker. So 3 days ago I took my 6000€ savings and went to a local Casino to play some 5/5 NL. I finished my first day with 100€ profit which really made me happy and motivated me to keep on going... So today I bought in for 300€ and doubled up pretty quickly to 600€. And then this hand happened :

I am utg and raise 20 with AAch, 5 people call, flop is KT9cc and I bet 80. Some guy who seems to be a reg shoves all in for 600 total, everyone folds and I make the call after tanking for 2 minutes. He shows T7cc and hits the flush.

Well... I Never played a 1200€ pot in my life and it fucked me pretty bad since I got 6000€ total and that is in fact ALL money I have. I rebought for 300€, made it to 400€ and then this hand happened :

Some guy raises to 10, four people call and I make it 70 as BB. Everyone folds, button calls and flop comes A98. Button is some guy that plays many pots and doesnt seem to care a lot about money, but definately has a clue of the game. My image is very tight and I think he knows that. I check and he bets 120, I quickly think that he got an ace, but on the other hand I thought he might also bet with lots of hands + I might be able to push him off like A5. So I shove for 400€ total and he calls while shrugging his shoulders and wins the pot with AT.

Please rate

Poker & Resume by dryath, August 02


Hey guys,

So quick update on my last blog (about caffeine dependence). So I couldn't actually find anything solid about how long i would need to give up caffeine to get over it properly, but I think i decided that 2 weeks was what I would do. So I gave up for 2 weeks just after that blog post sometime (which was midsemester), and found it made me grumpy and irritable as fuck for a solid 2-3 days. I ended up then drinking it again probably 1/day on average at first, then slowly up to 2/day and when i got into the 3-4 weeks before my uni exams i was throwing down 3-5 a day (not always, but when i was trying to study for sure, as it was almost one of my go-to distractions).

Anyhow, the question i have for everyone today is about poker + resume. In particular im interested in hearing from Aussies about this as i think our employerers might look at it a bit different to US or other parts, and i know we definitely write our CVs a bit different and longer (which fucking sucks fyi).

So since i took 2010 and 2011 off uni and played poker full time both years (SNE in 2010), my resume is really really weak and lacking. I also do like no extra-curriculars that i can throw on like being in those gay clubs at uni and actually doing stuff. to be fair i am a member of them but i dont actually go or do anything hah. So for anyone writing a resume are you including/excluding poker from your resume and how are you going about it? - particuarly interested in those others who dont really do much other stuff for whatever reasons you might have. My resume is for the Finance/Banking industry as atm im in the middle of applying for a bunch of internships in this field.

So let me know guys, and if anyone thinks they have a good CV where they did or didnt use poker, feel free to send it over to me (if you want)!

Thanks guys, GL at the tables for those still playing, and GL in the full time job grind for those in or soon to be joining the working ranks =)

Is Everyone Addicted? by RiKD, August 02


Is Everyone Addicted?

It doesn't matter what it is.

Personally, I always find myself in a viscous cycle where I waste all this time sitting in traffic or traveling to go grocery shopping or to the local farm to get some good shit. Then spend like an hour prepping and preparing and cooking. I personally enjoy cooking, etc. but it gets to the point like wtf am I doing?

But then you eat some olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh herb, fresh lemon vinaigrette w/ fresh magical in season produce and magical x, etc etc etc etc and it's like fuck I need to do this more.

That is just the first addiction that popped into my head. Could be an interesting thread btw:

Grocery shopping, cooking, eating out. What are your thoughts, ideas, opinions?

Anyways, it just seems like all human beings are either in a state of desperation for happiness or occupied w/ happiness. There is like no happy medium. I think any addiction just boils down to a desperation for happiness. I don't believe in any of that bullshit where ppl are actually addicted to shit besides like heroin where you can get viscously sick withdrawal symptoms but if you think about it you can get viscously sick, "nausea", boredom, depression, withdrawal from anything exceptional in life whether that's a good night out, a good vacation, a good date, a look from another human being that tells you they see who you are and are cool with what they see.

hmmm. that might be it for now.

As far as remedies for desperation for happiness. Bone Thugs n Harmony, Dark Chocolate Gelato, Hennessy, and a good cigar and some writin n readin might be worth a try.

Love.

May/June/July! by thewh00sel, August 02


The summer was extremely hectic with a lot of poker playing going on and not much time for blogging. I'm back to update you all with my progress now though! I'll start off by laying out my expenses and then break down categories that are noteworthy.

May: Total spending $6,371, Total Income 18,243 Savings Rate: 65%
Expenses went up this month due to needing some supplies to repair the pool and not enough discipline in the food department. Luckily my savings rate was saved by a high income month.

Expense breakdown:
Home- 2,590
Had to replace the filters in the pool which added $500 to normal costs
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Yeg83WGpL._SL500_SS500_.jpg

Auto & Transport- 1,259
This number is inflated because of the second car payment, along with putting extra money toward the payments each month.

Health & Fitness- 898

Food/dining/toiletries- 742

Bills & Utilities- 451

Shopping- 105

Business Services- 110
(Casino Tips)
Fees & Charges- 0

Entertainment- 14
(Random stuff on itunes)
Personal Care- 150
(Massage Envy, last month of paying for it)
Travel

Gifts & Donations- 52

June: Total spent $6,121, Total Income 11,037, Savings Rate: 45%
Expenses went down a little bit from May, but unfortunately it isn't in the 5k range that I'd like to see. I was kind of saved by the income, but if I were down to 5k per month in expenses my savings rate would have been up into the mid-fifties...need to cut the fat.

Expense breakdown:

Home- 2100
Number is back in normal range this month

Auto & Transport- 1467
Had to get new tires and an alignment for one of the cars.

Health & Fitness- 802

Food/dining/toiletries- 500
Cheaper bc a lot of my meals were comp'd at the casino

Bills & Utilities- 734
Hotter month = more A/C

Shopping- 322
Bought my wife an iPad as a graduation gift.

Business Services- 50
tips, etc. The number is half of normal because I hardly valet parked since Rio surface parking is more convenient than Bellagio's.

Fees & Charges- 0

Entertainment- 71
Went to the movies and random other activities.

Personal Care- 0
Education- 0
Travel- 0
Gifts & Donations- 0

July: Total spent $8,730 (yikes), Total Income 12,435, Savings Rate: 30%
This month was very disappointing. I guess almost 1k went toward fixing up the house (wood floors) which is debatable as to whether the value added is equal to expense. But even accounting for that I was at 8k in expenses. Of course it all adds up below, and I think the trip to the Zoo with my family was worth the cost, but I just didn't think I was spending that much as I was living it. I guess that's a common problem and a big reason why people fall into debt so easily. Definitely a reality check and my first real slip-up of the year in terms of expenses. Thankfully I had another winning month and managed a 30% savings rate, but that's well below what I want my savings rate to be.

Expense breakdown:

Home- 2900
I tore up the carpet and bought and installed laminate floors in my living room. Did the labor myself so saved 300-400$ there so I'm happy about that.
I think it looks pretty good though :-D even in these bad quality picS.
Before
http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...05836_10100372095095922_7923212_n.jpg
After
http://i.imgur.com/UOErs.jpg

Auto & Transport- 1733
Had to get two rear tires for the Fit. One had a slow leak, and they were getting pretty old (Original to the car in 2009). Will likely have to replace the two fronts before the end of the year.

Health & Fitness- 802
This number should drop by a couple hundred bucks next month because a $350 recurring hospital bill will be paid off this month.

Food/dining/toiletries- 927
Kind of embarrassed of this number. We spent way too much on eating out and just kind of lost track of spending in this category. Hopefully next month is back to normal as we JUST went to the grocery store and spend 200-300 dollars on the last day of July.

Bills & Utilities- 943
Even hotter month = MORE A/C!

Shopping- 200
I'm not sure if it should be in shopping or business, bc my wife bought a bunch of stuff on Amazon for her classroom (just got hired for next year). But w/e I'll just leave it in shopping

Business Services- 110
I'm strongly considering avoiding Valet parking in the future. I'm going to do a write-up on the pros/cons and the perceived value that I've been using as an excuse to Valet park and decide if I think it's worth it to continue doing it.

Fees & Charges- 0

Entertainment- 400
Took my family to San Diego for my wife's BDay. Spent various amounts on hotel/zoo tickets/concessions/etc

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...55_10101191395900542_1012609718_n.jpg

Personal Care- 0
Education- 0

Travel- 750
Various plane ticket/hotel bookings for August poker trip.

Gifts & Donations- 0


Summary

Adding these 3 months to my current totals my yearly savings rate is now at 41%. That gives me 5 months to attempt to raise that rate to my goal of 65% for this year. Sorry for the extended delay of updates. It seems like lack of blog updating correlates to laziness in other areas such as fiscal responsibility so I will try to keep both of those on track in the future.

Do Fat People Get It? by RiKD, August 01


Do Fat People Get It?

If you are not a professional 6 pack haver what is the point of a 6pack?

Beer and Ice Cream are fucking good.

Drinking all day and having a blast is a lot more fun than eating 400 calories every now and again and running 5 miles and this is coming from someone that FUCKING LOVES salmon and kale and olive oil and running 5 miles.

But I mean if you were in Dublin and in good company would you be eating a lil bit plants and fish or would you be drinking fucking magical guinnes on draught and trying to fuck the jennifer connolly look a like?

Unless you are an actor or a model, what is the fucking point?

Is there ever quality of life at 85? People can rationalize a way?

Also, I'm not talking about like obese, intrude on your life, what the fuck are you doing fat, but like w/e, do what you do, if you are skinny and have good metabolism you aren't fat but if you don't you might be a little bit fat fat.

i don't know

what do ya'll think?

Beating up dem PS micros by Watkyn, August 01


To introduce myself, some videos of things I like:













Hokay, now poker.

I first played about 6 or 7 years ago, when everyone was playing. I was in highschool and decent-ish. I ran $10 freeroll money to $200, then tilted and lost it all. As I couldn't buy chips (not having a CC), I just quit online poker. When the hype started to fade away, our home games did too and I pretty much just quit playing.

Fast forward to this summer. I used to be a big starcraft (BW and WoL), but had to quit last year due to a wrist injury. I do still follow the scene. I was figuring out what to this summer as I couldn't play games anymore. When the Team Liquid documentary came out, I saw some guy named Liquid`RaSZi donating a bunch of money. I looked up his name, started looking into poker again... and got itchy.

So, I downloaded the PokerStars client and PokerTracker, bought some chips ($20) and started playing again. At 2NL, I thought I still was the shit. I immediately played on 4 tables and started to gangsta bluff the shit out of everyone. I lost a couple of buy-ins and started to reevaluate my game. I also went back to just 2 tables.

I finally started to win a bit. After a small downswing I slightly tilted and went up, 5NL. This actually worked out. I think it's mainly because I took it a bit more serious and started improving my game. I also started playing on 3 and later 4 tables comfortably.

I (again) started playing bigger stakes under rolled. I was quite confident that I could beat it, and I was right. I also was winning there. I'm currently comfortably playing 10NL, 4-6 tabling.

There was a huge leak I had. I would (donk) call rivers I knew I was beat. I'm decent-ish (for this level) at reading hands. I'd doubt my own readings and still call (big) hands I shouldn't. Also, after I did that I'd tilt the fuck out and play worse. When I learned to stop doing that in the last 10kish hands my profits have been improved.

For now, I'm staying at 10NL until I have 20BI for 25NL. I'm close-ish to it (should make it this week), but I'm not rushing it. I'm just doing this for fun and to challenge myself.

Graphs n shit. Feel free to comment on them.

Reason girls go to gym by spets1, August 01


Women have orgasms at the gym.

  http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/volleyball.jpg

The researchers found that about 40 percent of both groups of women had experienced exercise-induced pleasure or orgasm.

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/vcKmQ.jpg

Most of the women in the "orgasm" group said they felt some level of embarrassment when exercising in public places.

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/stylecss_3a7a30.jpg

Of the women who had orgasms during exercise, about 45 percent said their first experience was linked to abdominal exercises;

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/soccer_butt.jpg

19 percent linked to biking/spinning;

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/phap14073.jpg

9.3 percent linked to climbing poles or ropes;

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Rdd9T.jpg

7 percent reported a connection with weight lifting;

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/phap2821.jpg

7 percent running;

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/d9DWNh.jpg

the rest of the experiences included various exercises, such as yoga,

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ATT00001.jpg

swimming, elliptical machines, aerobics and others.

http://babyshow.me/eoe/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/amateurs_15.jpg

Orgasms tended to occur after multiple sets of crunches or some other abdominal exercise rather than after just a couple repetitions.


Next time im at the gym im looking out for chicks moaning.

some funny comments about it on:

July results by Joe, August 01


So, after playing and learning PLO for about 5 months, I finally had a good winning month (given the stakes). Its basically my first real winning month since starting with PLO. Before I was mostly breaking even including rakeback, so this is also about what I am up from playing PLO so far Tbh I expected to start picking up PLO faster than how it went, but I hope and feel that it is a good start and it will mostly get better in the future.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26665895/julyresults.jpg

Its mostly a mix of headsup and deep 6-max, with a bit of normal 6-max in it too.

As for the near future, I hope to be able to keep doing what I have been doing the last month and if I do, then I will probably try to move up to 1/2 PLO in some 2 weeks or so. I expect 1/2 to not be substantially more difficult than .5/1, so if everything goes well I would like to get to the midstakes in a couple months.

4Weeks of cashgame by Drakk, July 31


Hello, so I joined Bongky/Spewtard's stakehouse, because I felt my 100 bb play was pretty bad, since I made the most money off poker from turbo sng/mtt.

My first day or 2 went extremely well, then all hell broke loose lol...

Anyways i'll keep it real short; here's what it looks like after 4 weeks.
http://i.imgur.com/zrLJw.png

I played 19k hands just this week, 10~ tabling, with +250 net result, which makes me happy, although I would have expected my results to be way better than this when I started.

Free LORD JIM !!! help safe 1936 schooner by the cleaner, July 31


Hey guys, please help me sign this petition http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Free_LORD_JIM/?launch

Even though I haven't seen him for many years, he's my Godfather and I have spend many great moments with him on board the Lord Jim. He's over 70 years old, and this old schooner is basically his life and he has circumnavigated the world many times.

I copied and pasted this from Latitude 38

Yearning for Freedom in Brazil

July 6, 2012 – Mangaratiba, Brazil

http://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/i...432/2012-07-06_3626_TracyWithFlag.jpg
"Don't give up the ship!" That famous quote from the War of 1812 is the credo Holger and Tracy have lived during more then five years of 'captivity'. © 2012 Holger Kreuzhage


For well over a year now, an American flag has been flying upside-down from the rigging of the 72-ft gaff tops’l schooner Lord Jim, as she sits high and dry in a remote Brazilian boatyard at the edge of the jungle. As old salts know, in naval tradition an inverted national flag or ensign is a sign that the vessel is in distress.

The nature of Lord Jim's distress is unusual, however. After striking an unmarked rock and sinking five years ago, she was successfully raised and repaired. But that turned out to be the easy part of her Brazilian ordeal. A dispute with the boatyard owner forced the schooner's longtime owners Holger Kreuzhage and Tracy Brown into a protracted courtroom battle, which they ultimately won. In defiance of a court order, the owner, who Holger characterizes as thoroughly corrupt, literally removed the marine railway so Lord Jim could not relaunch. Subsequent court proceedings, all won by Kreuzhage and Brown, have still brought no resolution.

Who would have guessed that repairing deadwood and replanking the entire hull would be the easy part.

With that as background, Holger and Tracy recognized America's Independence Day in a unusual manner: "Our boat is still hostage, and so are we. But today we will rise above these local conditions, which were actually resolved by the justice system completely in our favor. A country where a final decision by the appellate court can be ignored by individuals who believe they are above the law only accentuates the difference in the values we treasure as Americans, and which we honor on this special day.

"Needless to say we miss our home country, our families and our far-away friends. In their honor and in the honor of our own country, we are flying our flag in its correct position, right-side-up."

Before trouble started with the boatyard's owner, the historic schooner's hull had been repaired to like-new condition.

The 44-ton schooner was formerly based at Sausalito, and was previously the queen of Antigua's crewed charter fleet. As far as we know, she has circumnavigated more times than any other San Francisco-based vessel. We sincerely hope the current deadlock ends soon, freeing her to sail the world's oceans yet again.

TLDR cliffs: My godfather and good friend, ran a ground in Brazil a couple of years ago. They managed to re float the sailing yacht (old 1936 Alden schooner) and repairs where being made in a Brazilian boatyard. The owner of the boatyard got into a legal dispute with them and after a couple of years the court ruled in their favor, demanding the boatyard owner pay damaged and relaunch the schooner. Not happy with that decision the boatyard owner destroyed the rails to launch the vessel and they haven't been able to do anything about it so far. This is an old man, over 70, has lead a very adventurous life and now seems to be unable to end his days doing what he loves to do, which is sailing the globe.

ugh ... lol by MARSHALL28, July 31


So now I'm down 16k on the day ... yeah I definitely ran pretty bad, but also ... I played completely awful. I had 2 unsuccessful attempted CRAI bluffs on the river, aside from that, I must've lost 4-5k strictly in bad call downs...

I'm a little irritated, but I feel fine. So weird that this doesn't bother me even when I play okay yet when posting the previous blog post I was incredibly agitated. Guess I really just am a head case. Probably no other explanation.


Oh and also ... if you don't frequent MSNL 2p2 it looks like I'm gonna have this HU "grudge" match against some dude who posts on 2p2 named zachvac. We r each escrowing 5k and going to 4 table 3/6 NL HU for 10k hands. whoever is up at the end wins the 10k on the side.

If you don't know how it came about and you want to ... you probably could just find the thread in 2p2 MSNL. Not sure it's really worth anybody's time to go through all of that, but I guess a lot of people want to rail the match. personally, I don't care, I just want to crush him for what he did to me.

Lastly ... shout out to my buddy Russel Thomas who is a member of the 2012 November Nine. We shared a house ~3 years ago in Vegas for the series and he's definitely a good guy (and a pretty good player too) who has made a lot of the right choices in life. Glad to see someone who has had a net positive affect on the poker community have some success--especially w/ how many shady people out there. Will definitely be rooting for him to win it all.
