I've watched his stream the most out of all of them and while he is a little too pc for me, I I still find it interesting to watch.
Also, he seems like a bankroll nit and was only planning on playing a couple wsop events this year. I wonder if the PS sponsorship is going to change that.

I have been interested in poker long enough that I remember the "golden days" when the people you looked up to was the ones making the most money, living the most awesome lifestyles, balling the hardest, etc. These days all people want to see nerds out nitting each other (not directed at Staples specifically).
Well i am sorry if it comes over as hating, and i assure you i was not my intention at all, it just blows my mind that somebody can play on-line poker for 12+ hours a day for 5 days a week, so my choice of words may have been a bit strong, because off that.
I myself play live poker for more then 25 years[for fun, not too make a living] and i am a winning player, and i love poker, and i played on occasions more then 36 hours sessions and have no problems with that[other then needing sleep] but i can't play 2 hours of on-line poker with-out getting bored to death so to say, no matter the stakes[believe me i tried and payed for it lol], but hey that is my experience, and that is why i am so surprised that he can do that, and i know there are more people doing comparable things, but hey spending about 20 hours a day for 5 days a week on sitting behind a computer screen and sleeping, i can't comprehend doing that, i would feel i would be wasting my life, seeing there are so much other fun things i do in that time, since i have retired of working on the age of 45 after selling my business about 2 years ago.
And i have too admit that i have spend more time a day working then 12 hours years ago, and i did love the work i did[no bigger rush then the one of a good deal i say, but i got a offer i could not refuse, and i can always make deals right?] and since i don't know nothing about this man he could feel the same about his on-line poker, but feeling about on-line poker like i feel about it, it seems about one of the worst things to do for me spending my day, but hey like i said everybody got his things, but that is why i reacted the way i did, in the heat[and the blowing of my mind lol] of the moment after i read it, so i am sorry if anyone thought i was hating, i had no intention what so ever of doing that.
