Great anonymous interview about being a broke player

Freddy Deeb Eliminated

Eric Froehlich raised from late position to 3,000, and Freddy Deeb called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Deeb bet 1,500, Froehlich raised to 3,000, Deeb moved all in for 3,700, and Froehlich called.

Deeb showed {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for jack high, and Froehlich had the lead with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} -- a pair of queens. The last two cards were {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Freddy Deeb was eliminated from the tournament.

i think the point that you guys feel like it could be any one of ten guys is telling.

but it is depressingly fatalist. there's taht great section in a. alvarez's 'the biggest game in town' about the inevitability of busto, and how broke people in the US really don't have to change their lives that much, and the crazy swings of playing live - these guys just wouldn't change that.

I'll tell you who it is. 1995 world series of poker main event champ and wsop BACK TO BACK final table making "ACTION" Dan Harrington. Him and those GAY tourney books. M factor my azz.

Not a shocker considering his RECKLESS lifestyle, seriously, the man has NO regard for money.

No one to blame but yourself ACTION Dan!

This has Josh Arieh written all over it. Lindgren has been staking him for a loooong time.

However, he did not win anything big last year except for a 500k Bodog tourney.

Wasn't it last year when Josh won his Omaha bracelet?

Arieh, fits the bill, pretty well.

but: [ QUOTE ]
Josh Arieh Eliminated

Josh Arieh took a big hit with A-K when his opponent's 6-4 suited turned both a straight and a flush. Arieh followed it up by moving all in with pocket queens after a flop of J-6-4 against Greg 'FBT' Mueller -- but Mueller had pocket sixes for a set. Arieh never caught up, and was eliminated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well it was to a set.

Greg Raymer is a goner after he goes all-in on a flop and turn of 9-5-7-7. His opponent calls quickly and turns over pocket fives. Raymer is embarassed and quickly mucks his cards, claiming A-K. The river is a blank and Raymer is sent home.

This has Josh Arieh written all over it. Lindgren has been staking him for a loooong time. He is married with 3 children and both their parents live in Atlanta. I've seen him playing 400/800 mixed games at Bellagio w/Chau and Chan. I know he splurged on cars and a house after 2004-2005. He does play online. I know last year he talked about moving out to Vegas permanently. The overall tone of the interview sounds like Josh as well.

However, he did not win anything big last year except for a 500k Bodog tourney.

This is all wild speculation of course, I have no inside information.

it would be nice if it was arieh but i don't think so. (arieh put on the biggest pr.ick display i ever saw at 04 ME)

the reason it doesn't add up is that the big score for arieh was $500,000 bodog but that was a freeroll in costa rica so no one needed to back him. plus it was tax free unless costa rica got him which i doubt. the money was probably transfered into his account at bodog

EDIT-- maybe it is him.... how sweet that would be.... long live harry demetriou

EDIT2 -- arieh even went to college for a few months before dropping out but he didn't play as a professional; he was a delivery boy

[ifoughtpiranhas]

can we stop posting random peoples felting circumstances. were looking for a specific bust out.

[Rxd Rxxf]

Regardless of the hand results, Arieh is the closest to all the other descriptions by far.

Edit: And Lindgren had him in the 2004 ME too. 2.5M/2-taxes

Jeff Lisandro had a big cash last year at the wsop and is a cash-gamer.
