Re: Which online superstars have gone busto recently?
[ QUOTE ]
Grizzle is not a professional gambler. He's a professional con artist. He probably doesn't give a rat's ass if he loses money playing poker. It's not his source of income. [/ QUOTE ] Are we talking about Sam Grizsle?

Re: Which online superstars have gone busto recently?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] XXRAGEDXX, chipmovr, and Jordan Berkowitz are 3 guys under 20 who have had such crazy swings. Neverwin also had a similar run up/down/up. Their ups and downs have been documented in posts here and on neverwinpoker.com. There are also multiple European kids in their teens and early twenties who have made hundreds of thousands (or more) and have managed to go broke. I'm aware of one Euro kid who was up somewhere between 500k-1M and is now in debt for about 500k. These are the types of swings that happen to guys who play in a manner to run up huge rolls starting from 5-10 and months later are playing 400-800HU. [/ QUOTE ] Why is this a surprising phenomenon to you? It makes perfect sense that kids not old enough to drink would experience the most outlandish swings of all gamblers. Five years ago, there was no way for a hyperactive (not to mention talented, since all the precocious degenerates you listed are capable players) 18-year old kid to make or lose six-figure sums while holed up in his mom's room. Kids used to put all their experimental energy into drugs, alcohol and sex, and many bottomed out before leaving high school. High stakes gambling has merely replaced those other vices for a lot of teenagers. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure where I said it was surprising.

He's an 18 or 19 yo kid from my hometown. Next thing I knew he was sitting at my NL200 table one night back in February and we got to chatting. He said he had a 'horrible' run on stars so he decided to switch sites. Rumor has it that during his bad run he was badmouthing Hellmuth (maybe a different top pro) and challenging him to HU $5k SnG's. Next thing you know he's on a $200NL table and people said he lost almost his whole roll of $100K+. Ha! Kids.
