"I got some good advice from a tournament pro which was you should not play for the money but play for the win. Your goal should be to beat everyone else in the tournament."

Uhm, wow really?

You know thats wrong in EV terms and the advice was for psychology, so the sarcasm is quite silly.

Dunno seems like his moral is: start trying in tournaments and beat the other guys.

"I realize that in the future when I do play tournaments I need to bring my A game, except when I am playing 1K/2K during the summer. "

looooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllll.

so he got killed , lost a lot ever since and still wants to play again? so much for lessons learned, huh?

still wondering how he made it to the very top with that much ego involved ...

I'm pretty sure he finished up 300k in his stint in the big game.

not sure about that. from what i read, he was winning after being stuck quite a bit and got beat for a ton of money before quitting. then came his huge "downswing" online.

fire away, though. pretty happy i´m not stuck in the "sbrugby is king"-camp.

matthijs - i wasn´t talking about playing nosebleed online. he´s obv capable of beating those. i was talking about live play for humongous amounts of money.

Yes, I remember Brian saying he was up 300k after the big game ended.

Also, Barry Greenstein posted here saying that Brian was probably playing the best of anyone during the 1k/2k game this summer, so LOL at saying he shouldn't be playing there. He is definitely +ev at a NLHE/PLO mixed game against anyone, live or online.

he finished up 300k and even if he hadn't it's pretty sick that people get so much joy from hating on others

The fact that being in either "camp" would affect anyone's happiness in any way whatsoever is pathetic.

Obviously this is a gimmick account for Vegas Nick, one of the most self-deluded 2+2 posters ever
