I think Asian guy with shaved head goes by VN. He likes to bet 8 chips with both hands like he's "rolling out carpet" palm upwards?

Only other guy I think is 2+2 is this bearded guy with a parrot on his shoulder who uses a gold doubloon as a card protector and smells like seawater.

That and some Indian guy named Jay with a moustache who wears a UC Santa Cruz sweatshirt. He's pretty good.

I came *this* close to taking a shot at the 1/2 game one time simply because Jay was there and the seat to his left was open. I would have if I hadn't been virtually certain that the regulars would be 3- or 4-betting my grossly underrolled butt every time I tried to isolate Jay - and it still may have been worth taking the shot anyway.

I am but I haven't been playing much mid-stakes lately due to bankroll problems; 6/12 and spread limit.

I go there at lunch on occasion (it's been a couple of months, though) and play the 20 and 40 games. The only ones at that time of day that I'm confident are 2+2ers are Hank (I'm pretty sure it's him) and a 1/2 regular who posts only infrequently.

There is another lunchtime regular who wouldn't surprise me if he's on the site, a mid-30's Asian professional guy who plays 20/40 and seems to take the game fairly seriously.

This guy plays pretty well, but he's not on 2+2.

I played the 20-40 there *once* and got raped inside out by a combo of superior play and spectacularly cold cards.

I will probably be there more since I no longer trust GC, which I probably cant discuss here anyway.

i play there sometimes. still interested in meeting geormiet, cdc, and other 2p2 regs sometime. i def haven't noticed a lot of people i would suspect are 2p2, but there are some decent self-taught types in the 1/2 and sometimes even the 40.

I just read Lee Jones' CardPlayer column about some guy named Chuck Thompson, who is apparently a Bay 101 pro/regular for many years. Anyone know if this is true, or know who he is?

Captain R · #20 08-19-2007, 11:03 AM

Yeah, I play with Chuck once in a while, like maybe once a month. He's been a long time prop player/pro there. I think he does some other small jobs for Bay101, like he did some introductions and stuff for the Shooting Star WPT event.

He was in one of the 2003 or 2004 ESPN WSOP episodes.
