Re: Keyser vs. Shawn Keller, anyone remember that?

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I could be mistaken about this, but I think he made those posts before he lost his entire bankroll in one day. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, what's the story here? [/ QUOTE ] the first chapter of brandon adams' book is based on this match. [/ QUOTE ] Oh. IIRC it features some degen locked in front of his laptop for a marathon like 36 hour session, playing against someone who was better than him, and only stopping when someone poured liquid all over his laptop??

[/ QUOTE ] yes, it was based on the real life keller vs keyser match. in the book, the Keller character has a $300K bankroll one day, then he is $150K in the hole the next day.

[/ QUOTE ] That's pretty funny. I probably shouldn't wish that on anyone, but he was a total douchebag on these forums, and after offering his coaching for like $800/hr and claiming that was a 60% discount on his true hourly, and he was only offering his talents at such a bargain price cos he such a nice guy, it's pretty amusing.

Re: Keyser vs. Shawn Keller, anyone remember that?
When I lived in Chandler, AZ, he was just around the corner from me. I thought it might be interesting to take a few lessons (I had talked with Bob Ciaffone and a few others, catching some tidbits.....). However, he wanted $2000 just to watch him play.
To make things worse, he was, well, childishly a jerk. Dogmeat [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
