Mike Baxter is imo the best amateur on the show yet. I also like how he behaves at the table. He didnt say anything when Hellmuth started whining after the JT vs 27 hand.

I went to grad school at Stanford with Baxter. He's a very smart, likable guy...excellent math mind (Brown undergrad, I think)...low-key but a blast to hang out with. Went on to working at a big money management firm here in LA. Cashed out big, started his own hedge fund and now runs a bunch of his own and institutional money. He's known as a very intuitive and savvy trader, makes size bets for a living and has beaten the market for the better part of 20 years through some brutal swings. For Mike, Hellmuth whining over 50 dimes is like one of his kids whining about staying up longer. This is fun to watch.
