Haralobos's appearance on The Circuit was definitely a great listen. He's a really good story teller.

i remember reading somewhere on here that he originally made his money by putting his sports betting roll (80k or 100kish) on the lakers to win the chip at like 8 to 1 or something. he either wins and ships it or loses and goes to grad school. lakers win, ship the money, continue to crush nba betting and beat high stakes poker on the side for fun.

I really liked his style...not a big fan of how he played that KK hand. Should have raised on turn imo...if not then checking river is best move. Betting river made no sense to me. Check/call FTW

not personally defending the play but his reasoning was that players like to raise blocking bets with weak hands, so he made one hoping to get raised so that he could call. he did not put villian on flush draw.

info from high stakes thread where he made an appereance.

He lost to the Grinder heads up at that WPT event. I mainly remember him for wearing a bad suit.

This is what I've heard.

Paul Phillips told a great story in his blog where he tivo'd the WPT event that was airing while HV was flying in and staying at PP's house. PP changed the under title on the broadcast to something like 'pretentious playwright'. HB started pacing around the house bitching about the WPT people until PP told him the truth.

Seems like a fun guy to hand out with.
