Default Re: $3 Million Downsizing.............

I think he might be exaggerating on how much he is worth and is playing over his head.

Gamblers tend to do that, even the winning ones.

His BR doesn't even really matter that much. It was obviously enough that he could afford to take a few decent sized hits in that game before deciding to quit it. On top of that he was majorly +EV in the Big Game that was running. If he was mentally comfortable w/ the stakes then it would be crazy for him not to sit.

I don't follow him as much as some here, but he does seem level headed. There is a perverse poker effect where good level-headed players see every downswing as the end of the world, and exaggerate their effect. Going busto on an online account probably doesn't mean much, because with the climate today I can't see a good player keeping much of their net worth online.
