OT- The evolution of sngs
 

Sngs and the people who have dominated them have changed so much since I first started playing and posting on here. In honor of the changing of the guard, I wanted to post this photo tribute.

I don't see a picture of the guy who won *THE TOUGHEST* SNG of all time???? Is he the mysterious missing link anthropolosngists talk about?

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

Doesn't ZJ get a spot? There has to be someone between GB and curtains I would think. Did Strassa play a lot?

Also I think Gramps deserves an honorable "Crocodile Award" as the evolutionary backwater that just keeps on plugging away pretty much unchanged, despite the changing conditions all around him.

Suzzer,

ZJ would be pre-Gigabet. Or Daliman if you believe him, [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. Strassa also would be pre-Giga IMO.

Can we photoshop gramps into the background of every image? That seems fitting somehow. He should get some recognition for never being the best but sticking with it anyway, [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

I would be pre-gigabet and ZJ, making ~$35 per $215 my first 2000 played, and the seven wins in a row as credentials. Also, curtains was never dominant. He didn't play near enough.

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

Finished typing out Pooh-Bah post and checking for errors, 2+2 is tripping out, so I have to cut-and-paste to an e-mail and go to re-post...and...hmmmm. Could the winner of the toughest SNG of all-time just have waited a few hours for a slow old man to post? I swear I'm not trying to re-steal anyone's thunder, however wide their opening range is...

Edit: Oh, this has been here for awhile, missed it earlier today. That looks even worse. Yea me.

bigjoe and spacegravy look like twins

I feel like there is a pretty big gap between giga and curtains. also between curtains and bigjoe. ZJ, Jman, strassa??? apathy, good2cu, unarmed? hey whatever happened to unarmed?!???? And gramps ldo and FJ.

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

how old are bigjoe and gravy?

25 or so??

lol, why dont they invite ADZ124 to live also with them, ADZ could tell them a lot about post flop play, lol

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

Both are early 20s. Pretty sure neither is older than 24

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

3 importnat names that are missing from this list IMO: Raptor, Indiana, Wickss.

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

lol @ indiana & wickss even being in the same thread.

at least raptor brought massively multitabling (8 tables at once!!! omg! wtf!?!?!)

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

btw, how do you like my avater??
lol

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

Raptor brought the quad-monitor setup. All glory to the quads!

He actually was playing 20 tables before most of us were playing more than 4, but, alas, it was usually at the $22's. I don't know that his ROI was even 5% above the 109's, as, alas, he saved his massive pwnage for cash games and staking.

Axillary is an anatomical term derived from axilla, the armpit. "Axillary" literally means "pertaining to the armpit".

I was responsible for getting him to do that, [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

It was a horrible idea, btw.

lol @ unarmed....he is a huge nit, [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. Good2cu was in the highest STTs same time as joey/z32. I think newt should come after curtains IMO.

Do you search your sn several times/day?

Re: OT- The evolution of sngs
 

For those who are taking this thread even slightly serious, don't. I don't have any particularly embarrassing photos of strassa, I think ZJ jokes are pretty lame, and I'm still pissed at Dali for cockblocking me with his stupidity.

So take it for what it is- Gigabet looking like he just finished a 36 hour WOW session, Curtains being the biggest nit to ever put on a pink wig, Joey surrounded in his own filth but sublimely happy because he's 12 tabling in a towel, and Gravy throwing up some sort of mouse-clicking-related gang sign.

And if I really wanted this to be authentic, I'd have shown what kind of balls you need to win the toughest sng of all-time.

The only worse move would be to let SFB arrange the staking deal for him.
