By Todd Brunson:

"About 12 years ago I was playing in a 150-300 hold'em game. Early in the morning Sam Grizzle walks in and starts commenting on how good the game is. When asked why he's not playing he pulls out his bankroll ($2) and sarcastically asks how much the buy in is.
He leaves and after talking to Puggy Pearson comes back with $10,000 and starts to play. Now after about an hour Sam an Puggy get into an arguement ( about what I can't remember offhand ) and Puggy picks up his $10,000 and half of what Sam was winning, leaving Sam with about $400, far short of the required buy in. Fortunatlly for Sam, no one says anything and in about four hours Sam is winning around $40,000.
If this isn't amazing enough, Sam quits the game announcing how he's going to do us a big favor and go play the tournament, allowing us to keep what money we had left.( He also told us how smart he was and dumb we were of course ) You can guess what happened next; Sam the genius wins the tournament and another $120,000 to go with the $40,000 he won off us earlier that morning. Not bad for a guy who showed up at the casino with $2 in his pocket.
It's now 6 am and he's been in the commerce for exactly 24 hours, time to get some sleep. That would be if he were a normal human but Sam's far from that. Sam comes up to the top section where there's a tough 800-1600 razz game in progress. Sam stumbles over and bellies up to the table losing his whole $160,000 in a fairly short period of time.
Instead of becoming upset Sam simply told every one how dumb they were,shook his head and walked out of the casino with the exact same $2 he showed up with the day before. Just another day in the life of a Gambler."

wow what a degen

800-1600 razz? damn

He was playing 150-300 with $400?

Dude sounds like a bit of a tool.

http://www.cardplayer.com/magazine/article/16981 whole story there ... how do these people get by if their broke and got no $ ? are they homeless half the time ? unreal how people do this for decades

LOL wow.

Grizzle has alway been a loser, seen this story a few times and im still befuddled by this ******..

What a depressing story. People like that are hopelessly broken. Good thing that most of those people are so unlikeable that you don't feel sorry for them.

Sounds like the same way Stu Ungar lived.

u people are crazy sam is the coolest

classic

what a ******

"You play your money how you want to, and I'll play their money how I want to."

well said.

too bad he meant the money of his backers, not the money of his opponents.

Congrats you can comprehend English.

Grizzle is pure comedic genius. You cannot help but laugh when Grizzle is nearby. He talks nonstop s.hit in his southern drawl, constantly berating players, dealers, himself, his backers, his friends, the sportsbook, everybody. He's always involved in some hustle or argument or scheme or nonnense of some sort. His life would make a great reality poker lifestyle show. No script needed because you could not make this stuff up. Episode 1: Grizzle finds himself in a prop bet, arranged by Ted Forest, 100 yd race (Grizzle got a 40 yd head start) against Tuan Le outside the Commerce....and wins. I love this guy.

I'd like to see more of Sam on TV. I find his humor absolutely hilarious ...

Sam was playing 15/30 last week. He bought in short for $300, and proceeded to play every hand like it was the nuts. Suffice to say he didn't last long.

I tried to get hi to sit in a 30/60 Razz game last year at the WSOP with his friend's son who was playing Razz for the first time, Sam said something like "I don't play kiddie stakes". Sam spent most of the series railing the cash games - ironic isn't it?

I Sam. Good guy down on his luck.

during 5star classic a month ago, my friend chris was playing the 10/20 NL and sitting at his table was sam grizzle, who was already stuck two or three $800 buyins

doyle wheels up in his chair/walker thingy, and says "Sam, where's my money"

"I don't have it"

"you never had any ****ing sense sam. you never had any ****ing sense, and you never ****ing will"

and doyle wheeled off. it was a total spectacle for two reasons, 1 being chris hearing doyle curse out loud, 2 being sam was on such tilt from the doyle rant that he would end up dumping a few thousand more by playing 100/5 preflop and doing things like calling $500 cold with 84o and folding the flop. gold.

WOW

I want to see high stakes living with Sam Grizzle as a guest NOW !

The 2-part articles by Todd Brunson on Grizzle was amazing.

How does Sam get staked anyway? Is staking Sam a highly addictive casino game by itself? You know you're pissing your money away but you can't stop?

But he played the 50k$ HORSE

what a bad BR'management by him or his backer.
