Online Poker Millionaires article...

the Online Poker Millionaires articel from Cigar Aficionado Magazine June/July edition features Andrew Robl, Tom Dwan, Alan Sass and Luke Kim...

well written, good article imo, here's some of the highlights...

- Alan Sass and Durrr's spur of the moment trip to Europe, they split each others action during the trip, it ended with Durrr running an account up to
675K from 7k. Sass tells the magazine he earned 1k/hr while he slept for 6hrs.

- THXperky license plate on a brand new BMW M-series after Perkyshmerky was pwned for 6 figures one weekday morning.

- Good2cu throwing massive keg parties from his poker winnings while he was still in school at Michigan, pwning some Russian 'Scout', and he admits to getting a manicure before he was on PAD (kinda douchey imo Andrew)

- Durrr losing half of his 7 figure bankroll from running bad and backing other players

- Durrr challenging anyone to bet him 1million that he couldn't win 90k from playing $10/20 for what he says would be "three real sh*tty weeks"

- Luke Kim's low risk/high reward strategy. He says, "People think poker players are bunch of degenerates, but I find no shortage of brilliant minds in my crowd."

Dont think this is the exact article, but i believe it talks about the authors experience whilst researching and writing about the poker.

I'm just reading it now....

"The fish du jour is a Russian who goes by the name of Scout. He typically has no trouble dropping six figures during a casual session of play. It happens that he´s online and looking for a game. More than a dozen pros sit at single tables, in the manner of hookers occupying red-light-district doorways, each one hoping to be picked by Scout".

lol


original article can be found here btw

Surprisingly detailed... I guess because their readers are more educated?

I'm just reading it now....
"I remember Sass’s lessons of aggression and try to deploy them. They work. I raise into people who check"

wat

"I call a passive player’s all-in bet, with an ace on the board and two 9s in my hand, I decide that modification is in order. Aggression is great, I realize. But clearly it is also an easy thing to overdo."

wat

After realizing that this is never going to work on my under-RAMmed Mac, I locate a reconditioned Windows computer for $500, put an additional $600 into a FullTilt.com poker account (I originally wanted to deposit $1,000, but the site prefers to take only $600)
I'm assuming the author's being sarcastic here (he is a noob so maybe not) but either way it's pretty funny.
