In 2003, he played a lot of $15-$30 at the Bellagio. Probably 60 hours a week. He probably won a bit. I don't have more recent info because I'm out of touch.

I haven't played B&M in over a year, but I used to play with this guy at the Bellagio. He is more commonly known as "Canadian Mike".

I think he was playing in March this year when I was in town. He was passing out his affiliate cards if I remember correctly, and if we're thinking about the same person.

I think this refers to a comment where DS guessed there were about 500 professional players were making a "good" living at poker. I forget how he defined good, but is was pretty mediocre, like $80,000 or more in a year. Obviously a few would be making a lot more.

I've been to Ljubliana. All I can think of to say right now is that city parties hard. And there are parts of Slovenia that are absolutely gorgeous. However, it was not as fun or beautiful as Croatia.

Yes, I know that studies don't have to be scientific to be useful. The main reason I replied to your post the way you did, is because it is absolutely ridiculous to do what you proposed. DERB is obviously a real person, and it would be a huge waste of time to try to compile some data to show whether or not he is a bot.

Huge waste of time??? It would take about 2 minutes using Pokertracker, if that. It's in the filter on the main page. I guess your time is more valuable than mine.

I tend to agree that DERB is probably a real person. However, mine was one of the few posts that actually suggested analyzing one of the hypotheses that have been made. If it doesn't come in useful for DERB, it may come in handy when some other player is in question.

These boards have had multiple discussions about bots and nobody ever says anything useful. I tend to withhold saying anything useful, as well, because all I'd get in return is snide comments. On 2+2, it seems, the only way out of this box is to post one's winrate, IQ, and/or GRE scores. Luckily I'm going to be away from the Internet for the next week...

According to my buddylist, DERB's new screename is JozeSulica.
