RIP Chip - Page 4 - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

So, was he a megafish online?

I don't recall seeing posts where he was winning at anything (though I likely didn't pay attn to anything about the online HORSE games).

I am in total shock. The poker world, the world itself, has lost a true legend. I couldn't believe it when I saw the headline on Cardplayer.com. Truly sad. RIP Chip Reese.

Maybe they will name a room or table at the Bellagio after him.

RIP Chip. Thoughts & prayers go out to his family.

CP reports he passed away from symptoms of pneumonia, and died in his sleep.

I'm lost for words, not knowing him personaly, but from all I hear from and of him - he was indeed a poker giant, both at and away from the felt.

Wow, didn't see that coming. Now I'm disappointed I never got to meet him. Sounds like it happened really quickly. Strange. RIP Chip.

This is by far the worst poker news that ive heard in a while and i hope that everyone will show sympathy for this. My thought are with his family and all the other players who knew him on a daily basis, this has to be a very tough day for everyone involved.

Am I alone in thinking all this wailing and crying is a bit phoney?

Sure, it's sad for his family and friends that he has died, but why would people who've never met him care?

Chip was a gambler and a grifter. He didn't nothing to improve society or help others. Indeed, he spent his life making many peoples life miserable by sending them broke.

Perhaps if the people who express sympathy and waste time grieving someone who means nothing to them, spent that time making the lives of people who matter to them a little bit better, the world would be a slightly more tolerable place.
