Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

http://www.pokerkingblog.com/2007/08...t-online-pros/

Just curious if you guys have some guesses who it's about. 2 specific people parts make sense for.


MOD NOTE: this is pretty obviously a composite story, save your guessing energy for more important stuff, like when rt will go busto

yeah, except CTS isn't too proud to "slum it" at 25/50, barely ever plays 300/600, never plans on playing live poker for a living (LOL), and has more than a mil. other than that, this busto high stakes pro sounds exactly like CTS (getting a car and taking a girlfriend to a superpopular vacation spot are clearly things only cts would do).

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

I heard it was schneids. Apparently pokerbob burned his schneids #1 fan tshirt poster when he heard the news.

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

i think its traheho

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

I think it pretty obvious who it is, but I doubt the story is true. If it is true, who cares?

It was said that his situation was talked about at 2+2, and the car was also a bentley. Im not saying the whole story is completely true because I didn't think CTS would be that busto, but I don't know anyone else who bought a bentley and took his gf to hawaii and was talked about at 2+2

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

lol too funny

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

I heard it's Andy Beal

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

empiremaker

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

Obviously it's a composite describing a few people: Durre, CTS, Krantz, Sbrugby in the main.

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

wow i didnt know online poker got its own tabloids.

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

obv some details look like they are about me, I recently took a trip to Hawaii with my gf, drive a Bentley, etc but that's where it ends of course. I've never been staked, never wired money to full tilt, have barely played any 300/600nl and don't have a problem at all with grinding it out lower, have plenty in the bank, the hands talked about don't sound familiar yada yada

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

No, Cole, it's clearly not specifically about you, and the general picture doesn't necessarily fit you. Just a few details are taken from your blog for colour.

Wasn't this a Whitelime hand?

"Pushing all-in preflop with AK against an UTG raiser, hoping to double up, but realizing with horror that his opponent has AA (a hand that is chronicled on Highstakesdb)."

comeon cts - you think you are the only online poker player who wins a lot of money, takes your girlfriend to hawaii, drives a bentley, and doesn't wire money to FTP??? you are sadly mistaken... this could be one of thousands of players.

tc

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

that hand sounds pretty standard

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

and you cant even play live tournaments. Pimp Ownage?

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

pimp ownage makes a lot of sense actually

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

probably townsend, he's stupid enough to do everyhting said on here, especially the 'pride' thing

Yes, but it was for LOTS OF MONEY

Think it was 200k

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

I think it's a collection of high-stakes online poker gossip tidbits tied up into a story and then labeled as "truth" for more sensationalism. There's definitely some cts in there, some Boosted J and probably many others that don't come to mind right now.

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

the article is obviously bulls with some factual references to players this article has nothing to do with.

Instead of playing one table, he decided to sit at both of the $300/$600 games that were going.

[/ QUOTE ]
this quote shows the poor knowledge of the author, since the only 300/600 tables are heads up.

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

Why does this douche mention "players like Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen" in like every blog he makes?

None of the details match though.

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

Maybe it's about GRIMMSTAR

Re: Who is this article about (busto high stakes pro)
 

It's probably a made-up story to bring in traffic to his blog. Pretty good story and well written, so I don't regret reading it anyway.

The more you allow your posts to define you as nothing but an anti BT troll the closer I get to having a good reason to ban you. Knock it off.

The sad thing is that this is a true story. Through a friend of a friend, the story was recounted to me.

This obviously proves the story is true. Get off his back.
