Now you must give details. You may omit name/tournament details but we would like some expansion please

Ummm, sarcasm ftw maybe?

Yes, but I would certainly not call his tournament track record as 'cleaning up in tournaments across the country' though. A break even to slightly profitable tourney player is just that, slightly profitable. Far cry from cleaning up in tourneys. Zinno last year, Coleman two years ago, O'Dwyer this year, are all cleaning up in tourneys, not Joe just yet. I certainly was not 'hating' on him, just pointing out the embellishment of the article, that's all. Everyone who actually knows him seems to have good things to say about him.

2 snickers/4 snickers is a pretty big game if it's NL. A 100bb stack = 400 snickers bars. Imagine that the game gets deep. You're sitting on top pair no kicker on a dry board and a tricky/aggressive opponent (double murderer whose clever testimony allowed him to escape harsher penalties) overbets the pot on the river for just over 800 snickers after turn went check-check. Could you make that call for all your prison commissary items?

With an 8 inch ante

Brilliant

good for jattin they weren't deeper though, if he had to face joe's 8ball game he'd been in trouble

Bad news- he's now busto.

Last seen grinding microstakes:



Oh ffs, follow the link then.... http://nikolainuthouse.com/buy-2-mar...ntable-coupon/

Or you can just work out the joke from the URL. I sux@interwebz

he also published 2 books since coming home from prison

and he'd never even read a book before going in

he's certainly an enterprising individual

"raking in cash"

OP thread title pretty much as misleading as I thought it would be. Shill harder.

I'm not sure he would crush in the untracked euro prisons

OF COURSE he went straight to the taj

I hear Canadian prisons are really, really nice...especially in Quebec...just sayin.

Lol winner

This

That's one poker game where getting backdoored really sucks... Badum-tss.

i read through lots of haters ??? was in feds 5 years myself worked out read books played cards 16 hours a day myself, most street drug dealers (like myself) are good dudes overall but chose to hustle for money out of desperation with that said playing cards in prison w/intimidating guys gangsters , killers , etc. can really help your reads at least it helped me to this day in live format. i mean think about it you play cards everyday all day for years with con artists and schiesty individuals and trust me some of that helped this guy get where he is ...good for him!

and why is this not good for game bad enough you cant get a job that isnt in a kitchen or ditch paying more than 10 bucks an hour whats next they wont let people with felony play cards ??? lol GTFOH

New meaning to being a fish

So an ex con actually makes something of himself instead of returning to crime like the 85%. I hope he takes down the wsop. This is the true face of poker.

A+

So I was at the final table. Joe kind of owned me when he got the chip lead. He was generally quiet the whole tournament but laughed a few times at my jokes. Nice guy all around and some of the people seemed to know him at the table. He shook my hand after he knocked me out.

The only funny anecdote was in the beginning the staff wouldn't let him go by his nickname Joe black when they announced his name.

"Reddick sends most of his cash to his five kids and puts the rest back into poker."

I was playing in a MTT tournament at the Borgata about 50 feet away from the final table that Joe was playing on. It's a very large room (probably 4 separate tournaments going on in the room at this point) with a "featured table" setup on the back wall - cameras, attractive announcer, and commentators off on another wall. This was about two weeks ago. My friend knows him as "Parx Joe" and noted he's a good and well respected player. Probably didn't know his backstory about the Snickers bars.

In any event, my friend and I were walking through the casino later that night (after Joe had won the tournament) and saw him betting small...roughly $100...at a craps table. For those who know Borgata, the closest table to B Bar...the sort of circular bar in the middle of the casino.

We quietly admired his small ball after such a big score. "He's just having a good time at the casino."

Joe plays in the underground poker scene in NYC. Solid cash game player. But the source was the NY Post which tends to over exaggerate their stories...
