So, I go to my weekly home game donkament and see the usual cast of characters with a few newbies. I scan the noobs and see a familiar face.. Adam fkn Levy. Known as donkament beast Roothlus. I was a bit star struck for a moment and sort of wanted to get an autograph but I thought that would be kind of pushing it.
My first convo with Rooth (I can call him Rooth now, we're tight like that) goes like this:
Me: Hey, are you Roothlus?
Rooth: Yeah.
Me: Wow :hand shake:

We made a connection.

Brag: Met Roothlus
Beat: Never got to play with him
Beat: Didn't make final table
Variance: Neither did he

Overall, seemed like a really nice guy and was talking openly with his roommates about poker and seemed to really enjoy talking poker with people who knew much less than he did. Here's a good nugget of poker wisdom courtesy of Baby Rooth, "I'm sick of people saying 'It's for half my stack'! It doesn't matter. If you have an edge you have an edge!"

My bustout hand: Button open raises I shove like 5bb or something and A10o is no match for 92hh.
His bustout hand: Rooth shoves 6bb or so in mp and button calls. Rooth shows A7 and can't hold against button's AK.
