Just a guy that plays lot of poker (cash games and MTTs) on stars. I think he plays 200NL and 400NL mostly.

He is famous for four things:
- playing a lot of hands and a lot of tables
- a ridiculous downswing at 200NL
- a very long break-even streak in the same game (I want to say longer than 1-year.
- excessive complaining about running bad while at the same time refusing to accept responsibility for his results.

He plays mostly 200 NL. He's famous for being a whining bitch who claimed to run horrible over 1.5 million hands, breaking even. When PokerEV graphs were done it was demonstrated that he hadn't run that bad and broke even over the 1.5 million because he was too weak tight.

I'm trying to find his one large thread that started it all, but I can't remember the exact title.

Re: Fgators
 

what was the content? i dunno if i ever saw the original.

i just found the one where he posted the contents of his word document. I hadn't ever bothered reading it before, but some of his "beats" include stuff like raising 87s utg, flopping a straight and then losing to top set; and stacking off with QQ pf to AKs and losing.

this thread should be bumped on a weekly basis

edit: and i don't think this is even the best one. the one where they make the fgators demotivator posters is better.

Fgators' downswing, mostly at 1/2NL 6-max, because he was running so bad

The EV graph that shows that "running bad" actually meant playing ridiculously weak-tight

Only a difference of half a million, no big deal.
