Well, at least he was the most entertaining main event winner of all time.

I don't know what happened to Gus Hansen, either. The guy had it all about 10 years ago, great player, great looks, all the broads.

Hels was a guy I actually felt sorry for at one point. The car accident clearly affected his cognitive ability and frankly he was pretty crazy. But no I don't miss him.

Why doesn't your cousin post here anymore? He was hilarious.

Time i guess. He was never a sports bettor just a poker player. When SBR changed their format about 1 1/2 years ago he decided not to renew and never came back

I've tried to get him back. To no avail so far

I've seen a lot of burials in my day, but the one you put on him was kind of cringe worthy. It was hard to watch, man.

You're such a bully, Jake.

His SBR poker "cheat code" theory was genius.

TV poker has disappeared not the pros. I saw degenyamine walking down the staircase at commerce a few months ago so he's still playing big boy games.

Tom is in BIG trouble!

That video was created by this guy https://www.twitch.tv/upswingpoker

He claims to be the best poker player in the world. Him and a buddy of his run a poker site and share this twitch stream. Both arrogant and cocky as fuk. I want to punch them in the throat.

Doug Polk is a G. Was actually just watching his stream. He is one of if not the best HUNL player in the world. Very entertaining.

**badgerguy** · 05-09-16, 08:45 PM

Im watching it now and him in the HU 1k SCOOP event.

**jjgold** · 05-09-16, 08:53 PM

Right before black friday, I was beating 25 & 50nl on Tilt and 50/100nl on bodog at a decent clip...probably the equivalent of 200nl on bovada now with the anonymous tables.

I was playing about 20-30 hours a week on top of a decent job. I was considering an exit plan from my job to play poker full time. My cousin (who use to post under lowlyoaftard) was playing pro live and supplementing that with online play. After black friday, the climate was too rough...we tried to keep afloat playing poker but life occurrences and the tough poker climate made us have to reevaluate. Now, I'm at a great job getting paid more than I ever would be grinding poker and he's on up the ladder at a tech company in Atlanta...and both us of are much happier. Even though i Still hate it and it's ramifications with a passion... Turned out black friday was One of the best things that ever happened to us...

I probably played against you. I was playing the highest, I think it was 30/60 with 10k buyin. I remember Durrrr, Ivey, Hellmuth, Juanda, Matusow, some others. I think it was 2006.

He was beating .25 and .50 with max buyins of 25 and 50 if I read that correctly.

I think Dane was talking about completely different levels.

**daneblazer** · 05-09-16, 09:11 PM

Ya I never played against Dwan...but would often play against the likes of the Evelyn ng types and people who went on to be good players

Sat beside Phil ivy one time in Vegas in the stands tho as both of us were waxed...he was buying the group drinks as we were all trolling Beth shak...guess that's my cool story bro

Brad booth lives in Vegas. Well known stiff. Owes people six figures in total. He is sometimes in Vancouver, BC playing in local home games.

Looking back on the "golden era of poker" and how ESPN made stars out of fukkin scumbags cracks me up. Stiffs, colluders, slow pays, scammers, retard fukkers, you name it, the poker crowd had it all. And ESPN made them stars.
