JAmes Holzhauer transitions form Jeopardy to Hold Em

[stevek173]

Sorry about errors in title, inundated today for real.

You know what that is gents?

That is STRAIGHT pro. He crushes it in Jeopardy and reallocates the winnings to a more controllable form of income/gambling that he will thoroughly enjoy as well.

He will me awesome at that too, watch it happen.

That is very impressive, imo.

Need to stop drinking the gambling koolaid man, you seem to have the delusion of grandeur in mind when it comes to poker/gambling.

He's playing a couple of tournaments for shits n giggles. He played professional back in early 2000s.

After tax, he probably receives $1.5M. He can invest that and annually make 100k minimum. He will have many offers from data analytic roles from sports teams and other highly coveted positions. He will not be grinding poker for a living 110% sure of that. Playing poker for a living is not fun for 99% of those who try and go professional. It does not build a career either. Similar to bartending, uber driving, etc, should only be considered side income / hobby at best.

dog and pony show

all that yapping and he went out like a sucker

[jjgold]

Poker players are broke he’s not that stupid

[stevek173]

Eags I respectfully disagree. I'm that good. I do think you're a better player and bettor than me though, vastly.

But I can't return to that as a hobby until my business is officially successful, which it isn't quite yet.

Coach, Wikipedia Doug Polk when you have a chance.

If he's smart and I believe he is. He will not go near a poker game. Take the money and invest it.

[stevek173]

He already signed up for the WSOP man.

[aussiebuckeye]

I wonder if WSOP called him, ratings are going to be good.

I'm excited to see it!

[stevek173]

Yeah man it's a good look for both games

Very cool

I especially like it given Alex's recent sad news. He's been so good to so many people for so long.

[reigle9]

[JAKEPEAVY21]

party poker sponsored him to play and might play an event or 2 down the line on their dime.

[stevek173]

Oh wow I didn't know that at all

That's very cool and a very good look for Party as well

Very well played by all three parties, imo

[JAKEPEAVY21]

He went deep in the one event would have cashed got sucked out on two times when he had the opponent dominated
