Why does Dave Chapelle live in Ohio?

I didn't know he did, good question.

A lot of people who make a hell of a lot more than 100k per mo live in Ohio. I'd rather not live here, but I'm marrying a great girl who is pretty attached to her family here. And I have my own family, friends, etc.

And I'm pretty sure Dave Chappelle is originally from Dayton.

Matt has always said in his blog he is overly conservative bankroll management wise. So don't take the fact that he's playing 30/60 to mean he only has a 500BB roll for any given stakes.

So basically it comes down to Matt makes fun of 2+2'ers as a joke, and either those really good 2+2'ers or those non good 2+2'ers point out that there are really good 2+2'ers out there to try and win the argument, correct?

Kinda like how seemingly no one realized Vince/Smoothcall was a troll on here, few realize he's making a generalization joke to get a rise out of people. It's natural to mock someone like El due to his post count regardless of his success and skill.

I read a post recently where Matt specifically stated that he'd only keep 500 BB online for 30/60 and only move up when he had 500BB for the next level. People take money offline for a number of reasons and I misunderstood him thinking he only had 500BB at 30/60 for his actual roll.

Anyways your second point completely missed Matt's ridiculous statement on here (that I'm very confident he believes) that very few players on 2+2 would match up to his hourly rate or possibly his skill level. Matt simply based this off of his claimed $700/hour winrate and assumed not many on here could do better. I'd like to see how his real hourly would stack up to great players like Schneider, J_V, SteveG, James282, Dcifrths, NYPlayer, HiatusOver, Nomar, DPR, Chawinski, Glen etc etc. at the end of the year.

I personally take no offense to his ribbing of 2+2ers and realize its all in good fun. Also, I admire his criticism of some groupthink and the signal too noise ratio that is present in many of the threads in the medium stakes and mid high short forum.

Would any seriously successful poker player not have like 3-infinity times more money stashed away than they keep online?

That being said, his blog and/or writing style certainly gives the impression that his winrate isn't nearly what he is stating now.

Because he's not right in the head? He did walk away from a gazillion dollars, right?

There really aren't that many benefits to being an author, or at least a poker one.

I dunno, I think becoming a poker author is the best career decision I've made so far in my life.
