I try to keep my sizings pre fairly rigid 5x EP, 4x+1 per limper in MP and LP. If you have a read on me I hope i dont run into you at the tables!

Yeah, it's an odd unfamiliar feeling to run above EV and playing solid most of the time.

Thanx

I ****ing hate "TonyBigCharles"

I've played with him twice now.

His voice is super ****ing irritating.

He sucks at poker and is a total fish.

For real, you're a ~50 year old man and you're playing 1/2 and 1/3... get the **** outta here! ****ing bum.

He talks like he's important at the poker table and for people to read his joke of a blog.

I took ~$130 off him so far. I hate playing with him because he always complains but in reality he plays like ****.

It's on my list but a little too far out of the way on this trip. I was thinking more like LA on the way back to LV.

You have the right to your opinion, what you say reflects more about you than it does him.

Played at Rio, was in the sickest game 2/5 ever, got to the front room at 10am and had the god seat on a 100% vpip avg 40 to go recreational player who dusted off 5k in the 5 hrs I was there -600 (have some hilarious HH, may post later) Then played 1/3 for a bit in pavilion room +200. Was sweating Day 2 for a bit spotted Scotty "baby" Nguyen, Johnny "Oriental Express" Chan, Phil "Brat" Hellmuth 5 ME bracelets in the posse.

GL all still alive for Day 3, run it up!

Keep up the good work! Impressive WSOP volume if you can get to even like 200-250! 300 would be sweet, though. Steadiness month after month gets the job done.

No, not really. Just because you say a stupid f8cking idiom doesn't mean it's logically true. You're basically Ad Hominem'ing me and taking the moral high ground with that argument which is f8cking ******ed.

What I've said definitely describes this bum.

He definitely does have a squeaky voice and it is super annoying. He complains about every loss and calls misplays "coolers" and complains even more. I hate these types of "pros". He will stay at 1/2 forever.

You just don't want to admit my criticisms of this guy are true because you interviewed him and you've chosen to not remain anonymous... on the internet.

I have played with TBC once or twice. I am not particularly fond of him, and I think he's terrible for the games... These feelings stem from the same problem: he had a habit of calling out the fish for bad plays, talking strategy at the table, discussing his winrate, discussing the profession, etc... These are all hugely -EV at the table.

Insulting him for his voice/speech is totally uncalled for, though. You have some growing up to do yourself if you want to take it there.

I wasn't insulting him, I was describing him. You need to grow up you f8cking middle-school child. You seriously think calling something irritating is an insult?! The last time I got offended at someone saying something was irritating was in middle school for f8cks sake. Grow up.

Ya I forgot he berates other fish for bad plays and that's the cringiest thing ever because he's making bad plays too simultaneously LOL.

His strategy discussions are f8cking hilarious!!!!!!!! He's wrong too so it's impossible to actually listen to him coherently!!!

Oh and the cringiest thing he says too "I was trying to trap you" LOLOLOLOL

You are entitled to have an opinion. The fact that you felt compelled to come in here and take a dump on someone that you believe you are superior to is telling.

Here's another idiom for ya: if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all

Let's just say he is a polarizing character, he's been on the scene for decades so I was happy to engage with him in a short interview.

Hey Carl. Recognized you playing at the Wynn yesterday. Put in a table change request to come play with you but you racked up and left before I was able to join. Hope you had a good session.

Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge, I think I'll sneak in one more session then post up a vid to sum up the challenge and give some thoughts on how things went. Then I'm heading to Reno/Tahoe then SF Bay on the 20th.

Didn't have a chance to upload a vid before hitting the road. I'm in Reno tonight.

Sad news, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park passed away. Here is my tribute to an extremely talented singer.

The new Silver Legacy poker room is pretty nice. They got like 5 1/3 games going saturday night to sweat the main event finale. Rake 4+1 $2/hr comps.

Played at Harveys in Statline and Peppermill too. Finding fun tables and running hot. I've been getting in some runs too.

Lots of pics to post and lots of vid footage from July to throw together.
