Following Greg's tournament progress back in 2004 was really something special.

The boom had taken off in the fall of 2003 when Moneymaker's win was aired on ESPN. I remember reading that the expectation for the 2004 WSOP was for 1,000 to 1,500 players in the Main Event. The 2,500+ players blew everyone away and Binion's Horseshoe was a madhouse.

I don't even remember much discussion of the 2003 WSOP on the forums. But, Greg (as a very regular 2+2 poster) got the chip lead early in the 2004 tournament and everyone started paying attention.

Much moreso than when Doug Kim and Hevad Khan final tabled in the past couple years, the whole forum seemed to know Greg. He had been around since the beginning of 2+2 in 1997. It really felt like one of us (just regular ol' players) was playing for the World Championship.

Hmmm...
It’s all good until you’re at a table with 8 other Asian guys and they all go all in with five different straight draws….they crack your pocket kings when their collective 37-out straight draw hits, and then they all go home and split up the money they collectively stole from “whitey”, lol

This sounds like an incredibly profitable game.

If you go to Commerce, make sure you have plenty of buy-ins to withstand the violent swings that will happen because of this. It can be profitable, but you have to rely on the cards as there is little bluffing against this crowd. If you're card dead it will be a long night. If you find yourself leading in a lot of 70/30 situations, you can profit enough to hit the strip clubs on the way home...

Plenty of buyins are necessary for Commerce, of course at 25-30bb max buy in this generally isn't a problem
