Yes, Dino is a wealthy lawyer and not a professional. I didn't mean to imply he should be on the list of the "best" players. He just has a loose style that can be difficult to play against and unlike most "pros" he can afford to play that way and not worry about going busto.
This is an interesting topic since its hard to judge a players skill set and rank them...i have been coming to the high stakes room for the past 6 months now...
one kid that i have seen atleast 20 times now is this brown kid in his 20's...usually has some kind of beard ...almost always wears the same pokerstars jacket or dirty blazers basketball shirt and either a weird red phillies hat or a grayish yankees hat with his name on it. fat guy kind of tall.
Anyway I sat with him a bunch of times and only once did I ever see him get off a high limit table with nothing.
Seems like he cashes outs 2-3k profit each time he sits 5-10nl and saw him get up +10k at 10-25. REcently saw him playing 25-50 down till it was heads up and he doubled his buyin.
Dont know if he is a pro but I have seen him make some absolutely sick calls ...IMO he is the only guy that stands out since I have been playing there.
Rocco is way too tight, very easy to read
Jenny shouldnt even be mentioned in this discussion
Egyptian mike is very good but his range is narrow enough to not get trapped by him
Asian Gary is good but a super Nit
play with a guy other players were calling chip at 5/10 nl the last 2 days
looked like a skinny (but still fat) version of artie lang with beard and seemed liek someone who would be a rocco
angel shooting dbag so i was curious if its the same guy
I'm a long time lurker in HS forum. Used to frequent the 10/25-25/50 in 07. i recently moved back to NY and started playing in these games again. You guys know if Heath, Vinny, Andrew Micali, Andrew Song, Young Joe, and Ian are still in the game? Haven't seen them once.
young joe def still plays.. really nice dude. I'm not exactly sure what happened to warlock. Seems like he went from crushing 10-25+ last year to not being able to beat 5-10 this year. Good guy too tho.
