Sick douchebag.

Thank God we have you to tell us how and what to post, without your expert guidance and knowledge on posting we'd surely all be lost.

Lol @ any group home being a "nice facility"

In before Gobbo's Bot posts.

wait, todd only wins $50K?
and why did they put up $20 million if only $5 million was at stake? maybe andy would've kept playing?

Like Todd Brunson is going to make it to 62.

Well at least the thread didn't degenerate into a discussion about tipping.
A descent of a different direction is at least a change.

Yes, it's a good thing no one mentioned tipping, lest this thread would certainly spiral into a tipping debate at the mere mention of it.

I wonder what Todd tipped the dealer when he felted him.

Im pretty sure 10 percent of the pot is pretty standard.......at least according to all the dealers.

Well, he tweeted he won $5 milly, and most people don't add in tips to their win rate, so he prolly used that money for steaks for him and pop.

in before "'Bout $3.50"

Yea and i guess that is why i[and i hope many more with me] call people like you sick ******s.
You are one sad immoral sick perverted prick, don't you people have not even a little piece of decency?, don't you even have the littlest piece of brain left that says that making these kind of jokes about people who are mentally disabled is a sick amoral thing to do? and totally unnecessary?, i bet your parents and family are very ashamed of you, make jokes about me or any other person on this forum and have some decency, what a sick person you are.

So Andy Beal go back to Texas? Anyone seem him since the other night when they played?

Apperantly the Brunson bunch chased him away while celebrating their 50BB win like teenagers after they lose their virginity to an old prostitute.
Letting the second biggest poker whale slip away after you have him in Vegas is beyond stupid (if the story is true of why Beal left that is).

Grunching to this point in the thread, but if Hagler and Hearns squared off in the ring tomorrow, I'd watch. It would be a lousy fight, yes, but I'd be in for the sheer novelty of it. Same with Ali and Foreman, although that would just get depressing. (Of course, that analogy falters because Beal and Brunson were not the Hagler-Hearns or Ali-Foreman of their time.)

If Daniel Negreanu squared off in the ring with Howard Lederer, it would be huge news. We wouldn't care where either ranks in some pantheon of prize fighters, for Chrissakes, we would enjoy the moment. Hell, I'd watch just because it would be the only time in history that NVG was universally in DNegs' corner.

But seriously...

Those who are fascinated with this game are probably those who enjoyed The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King. I know that's the appeal for me; I can't confirm that with others. For many a poker fan, the events in that book are part of game's folklore.

You're not wrong for stating that neither Beal nor Brunson are the best LHE players in the world, nor are you wrong for being "genuinely interested" in the fascination. But if you were wondering why Sunday's game became newsworthy for so many poker fans, that question was asked and answered several times over on the first page of this thread.

That's why you're getting attacked. That, and 'cause some NVG types just like to attack.

Not sure if this counts:

According to Privateworld?

Who is first biggest whale? Guy?

For those stakes, I would want to go in the back and make sure all the cameras were working.

Who else.

Yeah, but Brunson won 5 millllllionnnnn dollars! So you are still a fish lol.

So. Much. This.

Ridiculous how people think he is a somebody within the poker community and not some acne riddled virgin in his granny's basement

It doesnt matter, even if it's a pure phantasy it's not far-fetched and bigger contribution to the thread then talking about 22 year old online nerds hypotheticals.

Oh I agree with that too, the 22yo derail was sore on the eyes

So by your logic, if anyone plays for less than $5 million, it can no longer be considered high stakes.
