Also, i bet he plays fantasy baseball and wins like all of his leagues. He's a former catcher, you know.

I can google no evidence of this.

People often confuse Thaler with me, so maybe this was the case.



On the other hand, I have never been a catcher.

If he makes 2 BB per hour ( pretty good for live because its slow and can't multitable, that would be 400 an hour. If he plays 10 hours a week, thats 4000 a week. Which is roughly 200,000 a year. Thats pretty sweet.

Also, i bet he plays fantasy baseball and wins like all of his leagues. He's a former catcher, you know.

lol. how sad would that be if a top cash game pro were making 2bb/hr. something tells me its a lil higher than that.

I would assume he could make somewhere from 5-7 BB/100 in these games. I say that never having played at the ventian so take that for what it's worth. I'm assuming with this guess that the game is shorthanded at some times and there are also some very big fish that play in the games.

Hmmm, yeah I think all former good (but non-professional) baseball players are all crushing their fantasy league. wtf? Why would you conclude this? I mean it may be true but it's just funny that you would think this.

I mean, I could just assume he's coaching little league in Vegas, because he used to be a decent catcher.

EDIT: Or maybe he owns and operates a small sporting goods store, because he used to be a catcher. The store likely specializes in catchers gear. Because he used to be a catcher. Him and his customers actually do their fantasy drafts in the back break room of his sporting goods store. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
