lol, why on earth would any good poker player put themselves through this?

yeah, it seems tedious, but on the other hand, it teaches good bankroll management skills and demonstrates how such skills can help contribute safely to the growth of a healthy bankroll. And also, keep in mind that some people are still learning how to play hold em, so it's not like it's smart for the novice to just dump a few thousand dollars on one of the sites and start playing 1/2. For example, look at that guy discussed in BBV, with the 88 percent blog - no BRM skills, whatsoever. That's gotta kill you, the swings.

Why does anyone even care about this stunt he is trying to pull? It is impossible to ever verify if ANY of these sort of stunts are legit because of chip dumping. Chris, or anyone else for that matter, could keep reloading a friend over and over view epassporte than have that friend dump it back to him on the tables at Fulltilt. This is so lame.

So, he won $14K during that month, that's 35 times $400 if that's the usual stack size he is using, though it's bigger and smaller at times. He may still be playing 10 hours per week, that's maybe 40 hours per month.

You're level of disdain of shortstackers is bordering on the ridiculous. Some of them must have really taken some cash off you or something. Grow up.

He is horrible at Razz

He won one of his WSOP bracelets in Razz.

I watched him playing 30/60 HORSE for a while last night. He wasn't losing.

that doesn't mean he was playing well.


whenever he sits @10/20nl with me, I tell the railbirds that if I stack him, I will give out his stack to the rail- its not a lot of money, and its a joke that a "pro" acts like he does. if he was decent @ poker he would just grind lower stakes and win with ease. THATS bankroll management, not shortstacking higher limit games.

LOL. I guess you don't think Barry G is decent at poker either. I'm sure both he and Chris are anguished that you don't respect their games.
