The biggest hand he lost cost him less than 50BB when he raised a donk bet allin versus a halfstack who had Q9 on a QhQdTd board. Nothing wrong with doing that with a flush or straight draw which is by far his most likely holding. The guy is a nit with an understanding of the game, he's not some kind of maniac.
The point is, you know ONE HAND of 19, and you're calling them all standard. You're guessing, but you're passing it off as fact.

"He spewed large chunks of money"...Did he now? His biggest losses back in June were 46BB, 30BB, 23BB, 21BB and 10BB pots. And there is no evidence he spewed in any of them.
That is completely different from throwing it allin for 100BB with T7o. Completely different.
I'm not an expert short stacker, but someone help me out here, whats easier to do, lose 1 and 3/4 full BIs in 34 hands full stacking, or lose 1 1/5 BIs short stacking over 19 hands? In my opinion both sessions are spews.

It's you who is trying skewing things to make it seem like the session back in June can be anyway compared to what he did on the day of the prop bet. I dont appreciate being accused of 'flat out lying'. He did not BLOW the cash on June 20th, he lost a couple of smallish pots playing shortstacked.
Neg. Tis I that am merely reporting the facts, sir. And if you don't want to be accused of flat out lying, don't lie. You cannot see 18 of his 19 holdings, you have no clue how he played, and I'm pretty sure his winrate short stacking was worse than his winrate 'chip dumping' full stack.
PS - just curious, as, again, I'm not an expert on short stacking - are you saying its normal for someone playing well to lose 5+ all ins in 19 hands, short stacking, for over a full buy in?
He was playing over his head. He lost $219.75 in 19 hands playing 1/2NL on June 20th, 2009. Those are the facts, draw whatever conclusions you want from them, but don't say it didn't happen because you want to say that this was his first time losing money at 200NL.
