He is just not ready for this kind of competition

A guy I know dealt the hand. He said it was plo.

Turn action board is QJxx no flush yet. aba pots it for 207k, Baldwin calls with AKQJ. River is a T for no flush. Aba thinks for a while and pots 621k or whatever. Baldwin thinks for a few min, to consider running it twice or what? They both have money behind he said, like maybe 200k or more. Baldwin just calls with the stone nuts!

He said it may be a high stakes etiquette since he is already winning the 1.8m pot why take another 200k off the guy?? I dunno sounds dumb, if you're playing poker shouldn't you always be going for blood? Especially in a big game like that?

Baby,

sounds like you either made that up entirely or your friend, or you, have the details wrong.

I don't know what to tell you. He is a dealer at the bellagio and says he was the one who dealt the pot. The details of the hand could be off cuz he said he gets nervous when the pots get that big. I guess we'll find out when aba posts the hand.

Funny thing about life, everyone thinks they have everyone beat, they think they are smarter, can learn faster...but usually like this Kid is finding out, it's not that easy or everyone could do it. Stu Unger won young, Sidel won young, but than they went thru slumps (Unger's was mainly due to his drug problem). Everyone thought this kid was the new JC of poker, turns out he's human like the rest of us.

He's out-classed right now. He's young and let's face it, sure he has more hand experience (due to his online play), but now he's playing live, so he has far much less live hand experience. You know what, that means a whole hell of a lot in a live cash game. Just like anything else in life, a guy whose been playing 3 years, isn't going to be as good as a guy who's been playing 23 years. He'll be back, but I think everyone thought he was a lot better than he was. Don't get me wrong he's damn good, but not the best cash game player out there and certainly not the best poker player, not yet at least. Let's see what happens in a few years, he should only get better. He's certainly not ready yet (to be crowned the King of Cash Game), his own statement about wanting to go home clearly shows he not 100% ready to handle the huge swings a huge money game like that has to offer.

Seriously, are you retarded? He is a winner in the game so far.

only a moron would win a million dollars at a cash game and then turn around and give the gov't 40% of it.

you keep the damn $400,000 and use it as part of your bankroll so that you can make more.

you pay taxes on your tourney winnings and other earnings only because you have no choice.

maybe when you hit the age of 50 do you give uncle sam "the world's biggest strong arm thief" a cut of your winnings. maybe 10% at the most.
