Maybe hes on some sort of sick ken jennings run and hes still going months later....

He'd give Ken Jennings a good run , both are very bright , quick on the buzzer and rarely answer incorrectly . Jennings used a much safer Daily Double wagering strategy where if he had a good lead he'd bet enough to put the game almost out of sight but if he missed he'd still be in fairly good shape and knew his game was good enough to overcome most opponents , Alex in the two games we've seen has simply shoved all in on the Daily Double and destroyed the opponents then and there, however if he were to miss one time doing this he'll be in serious trouble. He is fun to watch and i hope his run continues for a long time , but he plays with such an aggro approach he's seems bound to self destruct before too long.

he is not in serious trouble at all if he misses...during the episode posted ITT he went all-in for ~9500 and 2nd place didn't have more than 2k iirc, he can make that up easily later on in the game

Right but he could risk less at that point and still pretty end the game right there if he is correct and if he's not he would not have to be coming from behind to win. A much safer stratergy.

He apparently isn't there for microstakes.

Neither was Ken Jennings. Notice how you remember his name?

NVG should set up a charity drive like Barry's: "LOL Donkaments" in exchange for a 2+2 shoutout.

Hey Alex: if you're reading this next time you're gonna wager $0 in Final Jeopardy, or alternatively if you just want to waste a low-value question after you've built an insurmountable lead, how about "What is...the brown trout sleeps in the closet?" or "Who is...TJ Cookier?" Please and thank you.

Also, here's a present for all you neckbeards. For the record, seems to me like he's doing a Hadouken! to 'spawn' the answer box overlay, rather than an 'all-in' (given his wager of $0).

Saying that he would give Ken Jennings a run for his money after winning 2 games is like saying he's a favorite to final table the main event after doubling up on day 1.

Weird he bet so much this time on final Jeopardy when he bet zero last time. Maybe he was just more confident with this category.

Oops, fixing image link.

watching now already dominating after first break

It's an absolute slaughtering.
These other 2 dummies should be embarrassed

Competition is weak. he might ship this one too.

This was sure fun to watch. The other contestants are completely deflated.

36k compared to 4k for other contestants

Thought this was perfect, had an oh **** moment as I remembered seeing the title of this thread.
