poker was a hobby for him. he has the luxury of doing nothing with his life that he doesn't feel like. he got bored so he moved on. i think thats awesome.

I'd love to have the financial resources to drop everything and go do anything - go travel or be a dad - I say rock on - he has nothing left to prove poker wise -

So you are saying you've got no valid argument and I'm right? Thank you then!

Because he realised that being a live tournie donk is negative EV

come on dude, that makes no sense b/c there is no f-ing way that he is in the red as far a tourney results. In fact in recent years he has won nearly as much as Danny Nguyen, Tuan Lee and John " Young Gun" Gale , so him playing live in tournaments is most definately +EV, whether he needs the money or not

FYP

Superb argument BTW, I withdraw my point completely

I was under the impression that tourney donk was a player that has had good results in MTTs but can't play cash games well, ie Hellmuth or matisow.

I like Paul simply because everytime I was drunk or stoned or brain dead and needed help with a term paper/class work/poker stuff etc...I'd stupidly email him asking questions..and he actually responded most of the time with helpful answers.

I like Paul because he's witty, slightly nerdy but still social, and doesn't like stupid people. I dig all of that.
Plus he mentioned me after I commented on his blog that I was at the FT of the 2500 6-max. You can't buy that kind of credibility.

When I first heard he was into Scrabble I was moderately interested. Then I realized that any game in which the best human player in the world would lose to a Commordore 64 is not a game worth your time.
