I'm afraid to search that name in our database to see if it matches anyone's username/email. :confused:
 
Searched for that name among our member usernames and emails, and there's no match. Not that I would've told you who he was if I find him anyway though. :)
 
judging by the article I found, i wonder if he lost some money on the sooners this year. he gambles for a living
 
That Transcript story is awesome.

The fact that he considers himself a professional player and play exclusively $3-6 Limit is absolutely HILARIOUS.

You can't be a true pro playing anything less than $2-5 NL. There's no way you can support yourself and anyone else on your $3-6 limit winnings. What a freaking old tourist game.

That was a cringe-worthy article. Not because of what it was about. Although making your living on 6 dollar bets is pretty cringe-worthy.

But "Like a huge, glowing snake the neon wraps itself around the building." and "Large computer screens hang over the room's entrance like Cerberus guarding the river Styx".

Yeesh. Is this an Onionesque article?! Talking about this dude playing poker with granny's and stuff?! A joke?

The more I read it, the more I like it. Plus it's written a line at a time, all dramatic like. It's brilliant!

I had to stop reading because of the "prose" being used. The guy is a tool and WWIII owned him, then he called into a radio show to brag about his twitter fight...he could be a professional turd eater and I wouldn't think any less of him than I already do.

When I started reading the story, I figured he was playing 1/2 or 2/5 NL, then I busted out in hysterical laughter when it said he was a 3/6 limit pro. Even if he is absolutely crushing those tables, at say 4-5 BB/100 (which I'm not sure is even sustainable, regardless of how soft those games are, simply because their rake is so high) at about 30 hands per hour, that's like $7-9 per hour.

That article was written two years ago. In that time I hope this guy has A) discovered online poker, where he could make more just by multi-tabling 0.50/1 or 1/2 limit tables, or B) grown a sac and stepped up to a NL table.

Also, the fact that the Transcript would write an article about a 3/6 limit "pro" is absolutely ridiculous. That must have been a really slow week. A note to the Norman Transcript: let's reserve the label "Poker Ace" for players who make more than Wal-Mart's hourly supervisors.

I didn't hear the call, so I wonder how someone justifies or sets up the call. Did he claim he had some breaking news, did he act like he was about to tell a really funny story? I'm not psychology buff, but I just can't imagine what's going through this guys head when he picks up the phone.
