Why do people suck at reading so much. Sam wasn't playing in the 1/2 game, and wasn't the one who was issued the challenge. He happened upon the heads up game by chance and sat in it.

Sigh.

He has more. He had back to back WPT final tables (9th, then 5th) and only turned 21 this year!

He's also a former MTG grinder and was rated #1 for a period of time.

Re: 10/20 game at the M with a 5 figure loss - Anyone see this?

LOL, gobbo lovesssss bragging about me. In case it isn't clear, I was playing a completely different 1/2 game with some friends. The only other 1/2 game broke and after players filtered into our game I noticed 2 guys playing heads up about 30 minutes later. When I saw that heads up game I had noooo clue how either person played. They were in the other 1/2 game and there was no talk about how crazy it was. From the dealer though I heard that the worse of the 2 players had lost something like $3,000 in a capped 1/2 game of $300. He couldn't sit with enough money to have a chance at winning his money back so he issued the challenge. They started to play and I had no clue why they were playing, I figured maybe they are both just higher stakes players from out of town and I asked the floor if they were cool with me joining. They seemed kind of indifferent so I thought I would play for about 30 minutes and if they didn't enjoy me being there I would just leave. It just so happened that the worse of the 2 players had already dumped about $6,500 during that time and basically told me I was glued to my seat. I, of course, was not too bothered by this although if I wanted to leave, then I would just leave. The rest of the story can be found in my other post.

Centerright, I play all the highest buy-in tournaments they run on Sunday, the smallest buy-in tourney that I play is the $150+13 freezeout on tilt.

Pretty sick brag, mikech. I'm surprised you were playing so low. Guess you got bored and went slumming

As long as you are drinking then nothing wrong with playing some 1-2
