the brag post. Almost as good as Hastings' after he beat Isildur for a similar amount.

Players used to be discreet when fleecing an opponent for two reasons. Ironically, the internet seems to blur this now.

The book made it seem like his motivation was/is to play winning poker against the best players he could find. Of course that might just be typical media hype, but he has never been portrayed as a guy who wanted to throw a ton of money around just on a gambling jag.

As far as my joke post about losing 100k at the Wynn, I guess he could have just been screwing around, obviously. From everything I have read about him, it just doesn't seem like his personality. He created a lot of rules in his battles against the corporation that he perceived gave him small edges. That includes insisting on heads up because he didn't really trust the regulars in Bobby's Room to play them in a ring game. He has the rep of not drinking, so losing 10k bb's in, as Land o Lakes said, 100 hands, seems almost out of the realm of possibility if he were even moderately competent at NL. I actually find the whole Wynn story a lot more interesting than someone losing 50bbs at LHE, which is happening right now in every casino in the world that spreads 2/4 or higher.

Does anyone know who the group of players is who staked him?

And why did they let Todd Brunson play?

Stop thinking that bbs lost in uncapped live games, (that routinely have 1000+ bb stacks), is equivalent to 100bb capped online losses. You can't buyin to cover a guy that doubled through your deep stack online, but in uncapped live games you can, Corky.

And yes, if his motivation is to beat the best players in the world by trying to bully them with a bigger bankroll, then yes, he's the type that doesn't mind throwing around a few coins at 5/10.

Oef didn't know you where such a bad.ss, but i do know you are full off sh.t, but have nerves of steel and are not eassely impressed, geez what a cold hard bad.ss not to be impressed by anyone or any amount, and i heard you are feared by the highest stake gamblers in the world for being so cool and calm if you are gambling for 10s of millions per pot WOW!!!!.

But in all honesty and seriousness you are a sad afraid little boy in mamma's basement with a inferior complex aren't you? yes you are hahahahaha now be a good boy and get your bucket and mop they need a clean-up in ile 4.

After thinking about this for sometime, I can verify with a certain certainty, this to be true.

Masta--

I'd prefer to be Andy Beal who lost $5m than Todd Brunson who won $5m.

I think tod does not cares about his math do you?, it has been proven again, the cards the player and that little devil called luck are who speak the loudest in the end, don't they?.
Well 5 million changed hands, that is a fact, was it luck?, skill?, running good?, wrong math? who knows, but i bet tod does not care, do you?

POTY

I think what everyone here would really like to know is where would some of the top 22yo online LHE specialists have gone to dinner after a big score like this.

This is wrong in so many ways, how in gods-name can you, the casino, and the other players take this mans money[profit or not no difference], you just admitted being a low life, and being a lifeform lower then any organisme to be find in any sewer, hope you got food-poisoning, and/or great bodily harm from anything you bought from that money.
Beyond belief what a scum.

Wow how would that look like he? 11 billion in chips in front of you, need a big table. LOL i would be intimidated, but i bet lestat won't be, right buddy?

Easily. The game is uncapped and people were sitting extremely deep.

I was at the table next to his game in a must move game. In 3 hours nobody got moved. I know who andy beal is but didn't know what he looked like. All i saw was some rich drunk guy getting killed and having a great time.

a 100 blind cap game is completely different from an uncapped game

It's unreal how stupid your posts are. One after another always just complete crap.

While I agree it's somewhat immoral to crush someone who is mentally impaired, but there are plenty of guys with average IQ who are being crushed at poker every day. It looks like the casino believed him to be sound enough mentally to play casino games, therefore I dont see why he would not be able to play poker if he so wished to.

I guess your point is that one should not take money from someone who is not mentally sound? How about some dude being wasted as f**k, is it OK to take their money?

You are even sadder now if that is even possible, and saying my posts are crap and stupid is a compliment coming from you, because your judgement and moral compass are in the crapper and your standards even lower.
So thank you.

And i hear there is a tournament in your local mentally disabled home, interested? right in your alley.

That seems like a really dumb thing to Tweet.

Good luck getting action from whales again.

im sure the mentally handicapped are glad youre looking out for them...

im sure theyd much prefer if the whole table refused to allow them to play on account of their handicap

He lost 2/3 of his money and got pulled from the table, it probably would have been better and less embarrassing if he was not allowed to play at all. Still were do you draw the line and he might have had time of his life.......

Felt a bit sick reading the story though.

And didn't improve on the river.

D'ya wanna run it twice?

There is always that 1/2 game somewhere in Cali.

The last time Andy Beal lost they wrote a book about it. I didnt know Todd's twitter account had become that important.

In fairness, it took 10 years for him to play again...

OT

That we know of!
