Re: JDags busto?
 

i think he took a big hit to his bankrole playing nosebleeds stakes earlier this year, i highly doubt he is broke tho

Re: JDags busto?
 

No [censored] Sherlock.

Re: JDags busto?
 

How could he be broke if he plays like in this article?

Re: JDags busto?
 

John did my podcast two weeks ago and openly admitted he'd had a brutal '07 after a great '06. He's lost enough that he's actually interested in self-endorsement now, but I didn't get the sense that he was busto.

Re: JDags busto?
 

confirmed fwiw

Re: JDags busto?
 

watch his play on hsp season 3 and you might get a hint as to why he may be busto.

i really loved how he was deliberating a huge river call for 30.000 $ with like middle pair for quite some time, clearly knew he was beat and still managed to say "alright, merry christmas" before shoveing the chips in the middle ... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: JDags busto?
 

He absolutely killed in 2006, and I even seen him dominate in early 2007.

Not sure when he took those brutal losses.

im pretty sure he had pair of queens [censored] kicker and ivey had top 2 or pair of queens better kicker. dags deliberated and gave him an early xmas gift to the tune of 30,000 or so.

Re: JDags busto?
 

Yea I heard he said "merry xmas" or something and then called off with some weak pair on the river.

Re: JDags busto?
 

i doubt it's him, or at least if it is i don't think he's playing his normal game. he played like 40/20 in the big Omaha games and has been playing like 22/10 at 2-4. even if he has adapted his game somewhat to the lower level, I doubt he would play that tight. more likely he's loaning his account to someone else for rake purposes.

He had top pair with middle kicker.

Re: JDags busto?
 

I have a feeling that John is just taking it easy these days because of his very young daughter.

Re: JDags busto?
 

BTW, Cardplayer has a video up of JDags and Mariaelena's house up now.

Re: JDags busto?
 

I wondered what was up because you used to see him on FTP playing fairly high stakes all the time. Now, I never see him on there.

This doesn't mean that he is busto. I see some of the FTP pros playing the low-limit games on a regular basis. Seidel shows up at 5/10 Razz now and again, for example.

Yeah i saw a video interview with him, either card player or pokernews. He said the baby has taken alot of his time and he really only plays online when he is watching basketball or something. Ill try and find the link, his wife is interviewed aswell.

Re: JDags busto?
 

He talked about whats going on in a 2+2 thread(as well as his woman) and on ftp, he lost about a mill in the big plo games but that is not more than half of his br from what he has said. Im sure others have heard what was going on. This was maybe 8months - yr. ago.

Re: JDags busto?
 

When the big games started on ftp it seemed he either had a terrible run of cards or was in over his head.

Dags is the best "pro" at fulltilt. He is miles ahead of the rest of the name pros.

Re: JDags busto?
 

Even if better than the other name pros (Ivey? lol). He's still a dog in the big games.

Pretty sure the game has changed alot since then, though I'm sure he's very good.

Re: JDags busto?
 

@ Demon102: Someone in the chat asked him if he was broke and he said something along the lines of:

If you mean as completely broke then no, but if you mean I had 2 million and just 1 million left then yes.

Re: JDags busto?
 

I played 2/4plo8 with him over a month ago...might be the gf ?

Re: JDags busto?

Can we get a ban on all the I saw him playing low limits so he is busto threads, They are useless unless someone has the accurate information on them, and i'm not talking about "i saw phil ivey at the dollar store today, he is busto"

Nice plug! And yes, she often posts in threads about him.

Also, its Mariealena Calabrese.

Re: JDags busto?
 

my bad... that's right... she played on that boston vs. new york thing a while back

Re: JDags busto?
 

About half a year ago Dags played at the same $1/2 HORSE table I played at. ( only horse game that ran at that time, btw)

Said he was watching the baby and was getting in some cheap practice for a big horse tourney.

No big deal that he doesnt play nosebleed stakes all the time.

Re: JDags busto?
 

AKHobbes...sorry to hear u have to share my pain as a JETS fan.

edit: silver lining if there is one: bragging rights cause i live in miami, and our (1) win was vs the dolphins.

Re: JDags busto?
 

...a LOT closer to busto than robusto after the past year

Your thoughts are always so insightful.

QFT!!!!!

Re: JDags busto?
 

JDags is basically a regular in the PLO games between 2/4 and 5/10, as well as some of the limit mixed games between 15/30 and 50/100 (omaha8, stud8, horse). He is one of the better players in those PLO games.

While he is certainly not busto, I imagine there is no way he could jump into the high stakes game he used to play in.

On another note, Brad Booth is also a regular at those PLO games as well. The big difference there is that Brad is terrible IMO whereas JDags is very good.
