My Ted Forrest story:

During the WSOP last year, Ted walked past me in the hallway one day muttering angrily under his breath about some plump kid at his table who was making fun of his name. Our shoulders almost bumped into each other, but at the last second something resembling a dark force field threw me backwards into the wall, while Ted never broke stride. I didn't breathe another breath for 46 seconds, and all I heard as Ted walked out was "what a freak!" and "weird dude".

He obviously has yellow fever since he had a young asian girl with him who was trying her best to act older than her age.
Unless he's traded in for a newer model, he's had an asian girl for a girlfriend for a while. She knocked me out of a WSOP event in 2008.

Here is Greenstein's analysis of Ted:

"Best game : Any form of seven-card stud
Weakness : Invests in losing players and failing businesses

Most people consider him to be a stud specialist, but he did win a WSOP bracelet in no-limit hold’em against a field of over 800 players. Ted is a very tricky player and is known for making great reads. If you want to know how it feels to be in the eye of a hurricane, play short-handed seven-card stud eight-or-better with Ted.

Amusing anecdote

Ted has made some unusual side bets. Here are a few with results.

Bet Against Result
Had to run a marathon in under six hours on the outdoor heat-radiating, rubber-urethane track at UNLV, at temperatures almost 120 degrees. Mike Svobodny Won $7,000, but suffered serious heat exhaustion.

Bet that Howard Lederer, starting at 310 lbs., wouldn’t weigh less than Huck Seed, initially at 180 lbs., in less than a year. Howard & Huck Won $50,000.

Had to bench press 225 lbs. fifty times in 24 hours. David Oppenheim Lost $10,000 and permanently injured his right arm.

Laid 6 to 1 that Mark Weisman, 43 years old, 5’5” tall, and 230 lbs., couldn’t run a mile in under six minutes, with 18 months to train. Mark Weisman Lost $60,000

Bet that Huck Seed’s brother Lief couldn’t run the 280 miles from L.A. to Las Vegas, only sleeping twice. John Hennigan Won $10,000 because Lief hurt his Achilles’ tendon after 70 miles. "

Ted is a serious degen who would have a 10x bankroll if he didn't want to try his hand at every single game/bet/prop imaginable.

Not too many pros would be interested in playing him headsup, however.

To me , this is the funniest story about Ted Forrest. (it's when andy beal was around and played chip reese HU on the first day of the corporation's sessions)

That's what I'm talking about. He'll play anyone at anytime at any limit. He was pretty much the King of Gamble.
