I actually made my living grinding low stakes cash games in FL for a couple yrs.
Played a couple small buy-in Hold 'em events last WSOP. I lived in LV for the summer of '10 grinding cash games.
I figure the 2p2 community might get a kick out of having a member on the show.
There's another poker player on this season, but I cant really comment on how good or BAD I think he may be at poker. Although I'd really love too!
He showed nice results in WPTs back in the heyday of fish infested fields.
Anyhow, hopefully you guys will tune in. Show premieres Sept. 14th 8pm and is on Wednesdays at 8pm throught the fall on CBS.
Take care!
If true, Albert just became my favorite of the new castaways. I hope you stick around during the season. The Survivor threads on 2+2 have become huge, and having an actual player in the thread would be great. Were you a Survivor fan before you went out there? Were you an applicant? If not, how did they find you? Have you read any past 2+2 Survivor threads? I haven't watched any bio videos and don't even know what tribe you're on, but did you talk poker with Jim Rice? Does the show make any reference to you being a poker player?
(I feel like I could ask a thousand questions, but I'll stop here...for now.)

Reason: and if true, it sucks that the other poker player is likely a fish (as that's the implication I obviously got from your caps)
