Re: bob stupak
 

Collecting an appearance fee.... for absoulutly no effort.... Unless you count hitting on bartenders and talking about how great you are for playing 1 fing hand

Bob you're washed up....

Re: bob stupak
 

Bob Stupak is a joke; he doesnt know his ass from his face. What was that garbage he was saying about Mimi Tran being the best player besides him. Nothing on Mimi and I am not even sure who the best player in that game is, but he sounded like a retarded moron.

A fish? An old guy with money?

Regarding his status in vegas, yes, I know who he is. I don't think he should have been on the show though.

you answered your own question as to why he is on the show

A fish? An old guy with money?

This is the makeup of a real high stakes game. Some top flight pros, a rich amateur or two to feed the game and some lower tier pros taking their shot at the big game. I don't know how much the appearance fee is but unless it over 100,000 dollars which is the least you could buyin for it would -EV for some of Stupaks skills to risk that losing at least that much to earn less then that in appearance fees. I don't see how GSN can make the players gamble more with thier on money in a cash game a tournaments structure does that for them.

Not really when you consider in all the hands played, he played 1 hand, AA. I'm guessing he won't play anything but those 2 hands and he'll raise so much preflop with them that anyone would be wrong to call. Then he stands to ante a little, if he gets lucky make a score (like he did) and then make a small profit, plus the appearance fee.

IN 1995 Bob was in an absolutely horrific motorcycle accident and he broke every bone in his face and was in a coma for period of time, and the doctors did not think he would live. This is why his face looks the way it does.

Bob Stupak is a legend who got rich on his own. He started out selling coupon books on the strip and eventually built his own casino. Those of you that are putting him down will most likely never do anything that grand with your life, so give the man a little respect.

I apologize for my Ignorance - if I had known I wouldn't have made the comment. As far as his accomplishments, I was aware of what he did and don't think badly of him in that regards.

He must be on some kind of drugs. He was acting totally [censored] up and not like a normal person. Talking about weird things. Just strange.

Re: bob stupak
 

if they're playing 9 handed 300/600 w/100 antes, that's 1800 every orbit to just sit in the game and fold. give them 27 hands/hour and that's 5400 an hour...only playing AA doesn't seem like a great plan here.

How do you know he only played AA? This may come as a shock to you, but they do not televise every single hand that was played.

BOB is probably the richest man in VEGAS
 

Bob is probably the most well off man in VEGAS.
He has probably lost more money that any of YOU will ever see and he has probably made more money than any of YOU will ever see.
And his net worth is probably more than any of you will ever DREAM of seeing.

BOB can buy that table 10X over and still have enough left to go and buy JO 10X over.

Re: BOB is probably the richest man in VEGAS
 

I didn't knew Bob had a bracelet.

$ 5,000 Deuce to Seven Draw
20th World Series of Poker (WSOP) 1989

1st. Bob Stupak $139,500
2nd. Bill Baxter $77,500
3rd. David 'Chip' Reese $46,500

Pretty nice against the draw-master and 7-time bracelet winner baxter.

This is all very exciting and all and I am sure I will never have this much money, but is that an excuse for him to ramble like a complete moron?

WRONG
 

Try Kirk Kerkorian.

He's in the $4 Billion range.

Re: WRONG
 

Should have a poll to see what drugs most people think he's on. I'm guessing at least coke. Didn't look like he could stay in 1 place for to long.

exactly. the pros just wish they had a rich guy who's a little more willing to gamble it up than stupak seems to be at the moment. i'm anxious to see some new blood if he ever leaves.

From Wiki:

"In 1979 Stupak opened Vegas World, a casino known for its crazy promotions and new twists on games."

Well, I guess that explains those crapless craps games at the Strat.

Re: bob stupak
 

I am fairly sure him claiming that he was the best at the table was a bit of a joke. He just delivered it deadpan.

Granted...he's a great, life-affirming story. That doesn't make him a good or entertaining poker player.

Re: bob stupak
 

Im not sure why some of you are trying to be reasonable about why this man is playing in this game. He isnt there to win money, he is there to "hang out" with the boys. He is getting paid 2500/hr to sit around and fold and listen to Sammy and Daniel talk [censored] to everyone. Even if he loses a little in this game, he still got on TV with the big boys

Re: bob stupak
 

Well that sucks about the accident. Yes he is a very successful business man and such...................... But

It looks like he is a quart low of Formaldehyde.

Re: bob stupak
 

You don't come to Vegas and treat a man like Moe Green like that!

Re: bob stupak
 

Well said.

Bob has helped more then a few people in his life. This is the reason most high stake players do not register or post on 2+2. Trust me about all the high stake players read the forums for the same reason you do. They love to play and they make money doing it. The reson they don't post is they way everyone beats up on individuals i.e Raymer (seems to be accepted due to his long history with 2+2), Daniel, Annie, Mikey, Phil, Doyle, Todd, etc. Bob is a vegas Icon period.

Re: bob stupak
 

I saw someones post about Bob Stupaks moneys from Hendon Mob. But I'm sur eI saw him on a final table on the WPT.

I also think it's pretty low to make fun of people. Then again I did the same thing when I was 13.

But if you're all perfect then have at it.

Sure, but no way that table costs more the 7-8 grand tops. Maybe less. Ok I don't have 80k kicking around, but that kinda money doesn't really impress me either.

I don't know what JO is. Is it expensive?
