i remember playing the 10/20 NL at bellagio like 1.5 years ago, and i was at the same table as a buddy of mine. anyway, we happened to catch this ESPN show on the pokerroom tv's that was all about showing people living a ballin lifestyle. they were profiling this "bobby" guy, who at the time was apparently one of the hottest high stakes players around. whatever...there were a couple of scenes of him throwing money around at a club, betting like 1k per shot on a bowling game, being followed around by hot broads, etc. etc. we were like "wow, he's a real balla". anyway, fast forward to the like 2 months before last years wsop, that same buddy and i are chillin at the sports book watching an NBA playoff game, and "bobby" walks up to us and asks my buddy if he could "put him to work" in the 10/20 game. my buddy graciously denied his benevolent offer and after he left, we both proceeded to almost die of laughter at his balladom...we couldn't believe espn actually profiled this clown. must have been an unknown level... although he does always wear his italian gucci loafers which is pretty balla i guess.

nice story tuckercat, I hear more and more stories about how this guy can act so much more balla than he actually is and get away with it.

He either wrote/is writing a book titled something like how to live like a millionare when your broke or something, so I don't think its much of a mystery
