His WSOP final table with the ellix powers made me pretty much hate him. Positively 5th street sucks as well.

I started writing about poker because of Jim McManus, a fabulous writer. Non-poker playing friends loved his Esquire article.

On the evening of November 12, the competition at the too-small hexagonal table was sufficiently talented to relieve me of $290 in less than three hours. Alex Jacob. Richard Berger. Ben Morris. Remember these names, pokeristas.

He's a decent writer who wrote a good book. He still seems like a douche who violently over romanticizes poker, based on both the book and that one FT ep.
