[ QUOTE ] I overheard Flack talking to Johnny Chan about an offer he was making on a $1.7-$1.8M house. $3K bj hands may very well be in the budget & just a way to socialize & blow off a little steam like the avg guy playing $25-$50 hands. [/ QUOTE ] Ummmm you should be living in alot more expesive house to be playing 3k bj just to "blow off steam". [/ QUOTE ] Ummmm what? Maybe he really likes the house? Just because you can afford a more expensive house, doesn't mean you buy the most expensive house you can. |

Maybe not if you're a pro gambler who likes the stakes higher than the avg guy... $1K/pt Chinese poker... riddiculous $10K prop bets without any discernable edge, etc...
The point is that he's playing blackjack for $3K a hand & his lifestyle doesn't seem to be suffering from it.... And we're comparing it to TJ's craps habits, which by most accounts, does. |

speaking of degens, i was with jurollo & co. the night of his big cash, and i was sweating some of them playing blackjack while having drinks, and layne flack was at the next table over, playing ~$3k/hand blackjack and drinking/smoking a cigar. it was really depressing to see. [/ QUOTE ] Depressing? Sounds like he was having a great time to me. I guess our ideas of depressing differ. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

Anyway...I dont think Flack has the wealth to justify 3k bj as "blowing off steam". |

the Hellmuth/TJ story reminds me of Billy Baxter seeing Nubby Morgan coming in a casino - Nubby gets there and Baxter says "here Nub, here's $500, see if you can do something with it". Nubby walks away and Baxter says "I just made $500 - he was going to ask me for $1000."
TJ is worse than a degen - as anyone can tell you, he doesnt just borrow money, but he refuses to pay his debts. Guy is a bum. |

I'm sure Hellmuth gets something out of the deal. Probably TJ has to sit and listen to him whine about beats and horrible players for hours on end. Not a fair deal at all there.

Earlier this year while we were shooting craps together TJ called me a "natural born shooter" during my roll. I'd never been more sure that I was going to be busto the rest of my life. [/ QUOTE ] Thankyou Sir, that made my evening. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |
