why would you even want to play anymore?

[/ QUOTE ]

For the same reason Tom Brady continued to play football after he won a Super Bowl, earned millions and nailed Tara Reid. People love to compete and test themselves.

That's really a bad analogy.

QFT; a horrible analogy; QFMFT!!!!

It's ok man. Other people know about the magic 8 ball as well. I've used it in the past to reveal supa secret financial information about others as well.

xx,

"net worth?"

Last year he sold about $30m in MGM stock.

I would guess he's made over $5m/year for the last 5 years, over $2m/year for the last 10 years, and over $1m/year for the last 20 years.

Oh, he's won over $500k in poker tournaments in his life too!

His net worth could be anywhere from $50m to $500m depending on investments and income, so that $100m guess someone made is quite likely in the right ballpark.

For anyone who cares, they can definitely find out how much he made and how much in stock he sold since 2000 (all public info), and maybe as far back as since 1987 (don't know when these casino groups went public and when he was an officer).

Are we even sure that Brian is now down over the course of playing live in Vegas? He is down 2mil last couple days, but didn't he win 1mil+ in June when playing Sammy and others and he has had a few good days since too so he could well still be up.

Why are people all of a sudden acting like Brian is the worst player in the world now and can't back up any of his claims and Bobby Baldwin is TeH gOd because of one hand. I'm not taking either side, but since when did one pot mean you are either good/no good at poker?

[/ QUOTE ]

You're right that's not the case. But...people were saying Brain was God because he went on a three-YEAR heater.

So he lost like $2 million in a $1k/2k game? Online this would be like losing a 100xBB max buy-in. That's not even counting the $400 ante.

he said that he lost a 1.8m pot, and he was down $700-800k after that, meaning that he was probably somewhere around even at the time of that hand. I am trying to figure out what stakes they could be playing where he could be 'even' and lose $800K... unless he started the night down and then built a large stack to get even.

Is this the largest pot ever?
