having a profit of 40 milly isn't hard when the blinds are 100k/200k

that isn't difficult considering he's a bum of a player.

multiaccounting, like steroids, should not be considered cheating IMO

If it means something besides "9 figures" then I am stumped

Floyd Mayweather got 20 million for fighting Big Show on WM24 so if money is a motivator for AROD WWE definetely has the money to throw at him for a WrestleMania run, but i dont see AROD doing it full time.

Would be awesome and bring alot of attention to poker if he did start playing tournaments or if he showed up to an HSP type show.

Wow.

Obviously, you don't follow baseball considering he was the best player in baseball for a decade. I'd argue that against anyone.

Mods PLEASE tell us this post can be IP traced to Tampa, Fla.

Thank you sir, I couldn't have done it without ARod tho

this

At least he'd be able to juice again

Heyo.

Sorting by WAR, he was only the best player in baseball 3 times, 1998, 2000, and 2007. Your statement is easily true though if the NL doesn't count as baseball, as one of Bonds or Pujols were better for most of Arods career.

what sports can I play on drugs I know pro wrestling or poker , good choice arod

2005 also, I believe.

WAR? Really? You're going with sabremetrics as a defense? Peter Gammons just sits at home and makes up new stats.

And the NL is quality baseball as it tests the managers skills, which also are a big part of the game.

A Rod made approx 500 million dollars playing ball for like 20 years.


He made 40 million dollars playing like 10 sessions of poker.


does my statement "he's a great poker player, maybe better than baseball player" still sound ridiculous?


Arod might be capable of making half a billion profit at poker in 1 year.

Don't know about that, but in the room I play in they test you for weed, if your not on it, you can't play. There is a reason the poker players parking area is called J lot.

It could also be true if Rodriguez had the highest WAR over the course of a 10-year period and Endo was referring to the entire span. Sort of the way a poker player could have the most winnings across a given five-year span without being the top-earning player in any single year during that span. Or something like that.

Of course, Bonds still has Rodriguez beat. The closest span is 1996-2005, during which Bonds had an overall WAR of 81.4 to A-Rod's 81.0. Bonds did it despite missing a third of the season in 1999 and almost all of 2005. A-Rod missed about 30 games in 1999 but played all of 2005, so I suppose you could make an argument for the less tangible benefits of having Rodriguez in the lineup (e.g. how it benefits the other players in the order). As far as I know, WAR doesn't factor that in.

But Bonds' career is tainted by all of the PED allegations. Rodriguez has always been a clean-living type who plays on the up-and-up without suspicion about... oh wait, never mind.

I asked this above so I'll ask again... where are you getting this claim? I don't see it in the story you posted.

yes it still sounds ridiculous even if you had a source citing the 40 million in "like 10 sessions"

Dude, you're my hero.

Now come on, Dexter... Jamie Gold made $12 million in a single week back in 2006. Alex Rodriguez about $22 million per season, or around $900K per week, in his prime. Therefore, Jamie Gold is 13.3 times a better poker player than A-Rod was a ballplayer at his BEST. The logic is impeccable. Nothing ridiculous at all was said by Omahahahah at any point in this thread or in his life or in any of our lifetimes ever.

Twist, ARod has been making upwards of $25 Million for a long time now. He signed a 10 year $250 million contract and then signed an even bigger one after just 6 years of that contract. He is slated to make nearly $30 million next year if i remember correctly.
