Default Re: The most Degen Final Table ever, WPT last night.

I know Shane will read this, so Shane are you a Degen or have you ever been one???. Have I misclassified you?? My opinion on Kevin and Shane is based on playing against them online. Anyone who multitables 6+ mtts at the same time 12+ hrs a day, 7 days a week. That's a degen regardless if you win or lose at it. Granted Shane doesn't do this much anymore. I remember when he did. By degen I'm not really emphasizing gambler but "poker player". 90% of the top pro's will admit they are a degen in one way or another.

Shaniac isn't a degen... You are probably just saying that because he smokes ganja

we all smoke the herb bro, it all depends on how you define degen, my def is not about character, its about making sick bets, sick calls, sick amount of rebuys, sick bankroll management, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

those qualities described above don't really seem degenerate, maybe you're looking for a different word

I look at degenerate gambler as having more sick bankroll management.
Making aggressive bets or sick calls or something isn't really that degen.

Winning $100k at the poker table and then heading straight to the sportsbook or craps table to bet it all away is degen.

I think your definition of 'degen gambler' describes most 2+2ers.

Working a 70+ hour week isn't really 'degenerate' if you're making constant money at it. Playing a 70+ hour week if you're a consistently losing player and constantly borrowing/stealing/grafting money to support your habit, however, is.

Once again a 2+2 thread turns into a kindergarden name calling affair. Grow up guys, I notice most of you negative commenting ballers post here without any info on your profiles. You don't want the world to see what a nit you are.

This is a a views thread, this post is mine, attack me all you want, least I can put my name behind my comments. So if I attack I'm not some puss hiding behind anonymity. Either contribute something beyond a kindercare comment, if you must, be a man and put your name behind it, or stay out!!!
