    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
