What\'s up with Josh Arieh Lately?
 

Havent heard about him in quite a while. He used to update his blog semi-regularly but has since stopped doing so...

I think he went deep in Tunica back in May or something like that... any recent news or gossip on my favorite poker pro? For some reason I seem to recall hearing grumblings of retirement...

We interviewed Josh late in the series on Bluff radio. He seemed to be in decent spirits for what its worth.

I was just looking at his hendon mob page which is pretty meh for a tournament player and saw he only had one cash at the 05 wsop and that was a bracelet.

I guess he either goes deep in tournaments or busts out pretty early.

i saw him on the PPT, acting like his typical douchey ways. Good to see he's changed.

I think the PPT was taped a couple of years ago.

He had a pretty quiet '06 WSOP (one small cash), though he will be featured in the Prop Bet segment along with Gavin Smith and RW III.

I believe he was on the circuit during the WSOP (I hope I haven't gotten him confused with someone else) and he said he'd lost all confidence in his game, and was flailing around trying different strategies to fix it.

Also that not only had he not made the money in any WSOP event but something ridiculous like not making the ante level in any event (maybe it was something slightly less ridiculous like not making it out of the first day, but I think it might have been not making the ante's).

Somebody correct me if that was a different "name" pro.

Gotta love how so many pros think they are immune to variance.

afaik Josh has never made any of these kind of claims

He's definitely paid his dues coming up, and as such surely understands "variance"
