It's hippie ****, they don't play by our rules. Might be his boyfriend, might be his friend, might be some hippie form of personal assistant, might be all of the above. Probably just what most people refer to as a 'leach' but hippies are accepting of since they don't care about money and just want to be one with the earth and their spirit or whatever.

Decent gossip. Turns out Chewy has mad respect from the community. I met Chewy once. Offered him a one hitter and he said, "I'd rather use my 'cano." From then on I called Volcanos 'canos'.

This guy did absolutely nothing besides tell the bigtimer what time it was and maybe we should go soon. This guy rode 7 hrs to and fro to give the guy time updates. ****ing Pajamas. They drove to Tahoe on mushrooms after that. Who the **** purposefully drives long distances on mushrooms?

TLDR: hippies

Lol nice ^

I actually kinda like hippies, I've met some who were I swear the coolest people on earth. This one guy Leif had to have been the happiest mother****er on Earth. Who's to judge when someone is that happy with their life/situation. That being said I can't stand the fake ones, or the ones that are doing it because it's 'in.'

Didn't read the whole thread yet but this is spot on. I myself struggle with the same thing as I'm sure many of us do.

I find it awesome that there is such an amazing poker player supporting a positive lifestyle with such positive radiance in an environment that can often be devoid.

Chewy reminds me of a guy that never smoked weed until he was 30 and hes just now seeing how awesome it is.

Interesting that he can still participate in poker given the super hippy vibe. Most people can justify gambling for a living with the knowledge that it doesn't really contribute any less to society compared to a number of mainstream careers out there, but I'd think being on that super zen/spiritual 'plane' would prevent you from continuing on such an individually focused/monetarily exploitative path

My guess is that someone on the commune needs to earn money while the rest of the 'tribe' or w/e they call themselves sit around making friendship bracelets and eating kale.

By continuing to win tournaments he's singled handedly responsibel for the redistribution of wealth, he's like a modern day Robin Hemp.

Just because playing poker itself is a selfish endeavor doesn't mean someone can't spend time away from the tables helping others in many different ways... I blame Coleman for this misconception. He should put his money where his mouth is if he's so truly ashamed of fleecing donks. /partly joking about the Coleman part

Met chewy in whole foods parking lot and ended up chatting for a while, thought he was super cool. More power to him not giving a **** what you guys or anyone else is judging him for.

I think it has to do with where you live on how you view his style. After living in CA for years, his style is about as normal as a guy in a suit to most people. I don't see anything wrong with it, maybe the beard because he grows pubes on his face like I do.

Moved back to STL and I rarely see anyone dressed like that. Honestly, I dig his style more than the midwest style of buying expensive clothes from some **** mall that has fashion from two years ago in normal cities. Buying trendy clothes becomes tiresome in your 30's. How healthy/in shape you are is much more important than clothes for others viewing pleasure.

You can't dress that way and not be. Having said that, the thread was about the other guy, not luckychewy anyway. Lighten up and carryon with the photoshops.

Ultimately, I agree with every word in this post.

Well he did give $11,111/2 to charity about 10 days ago, how many have you given the last 10 days?

It takes some work to look "normal". Which is kind of the point.

People assume that if you are willing to put that work in, then you are likely to respect well-established social customs.

If you look homeless, broke, and/or drugged out, on the other hand, people tend to make less friendly assumptions. If you know that and don't care... well then you are luckychewy, I suppose.
