@GazzyB. If you think JRB put up even 25% of his buyin you are wrong.

These are just my opinions, but I'm sure I'm right.

Ivey was unable to move money around the casinos. It was stated that he was not necessarily a backer but rather a conduit.

He's either giving himself cheap advertising to get into bigger games or he's the worst player of all time.

BTW, I guess now that Lewis Skolnick has opened that can of worms, we're going to hear Sklansky bucks mentioned on every PokerGo show going forward.

Not the right thread but when you're playing against a passive ultrafish like Sacks, Keating's spazz play can't be so bad. Clearly he should shut it off vs. Chamath lol

That said, Keating's previous appearance with Rob Yong and Hellmuth was a much better game.

Is Alex Keating the guy that bets the river with a super strong hand deep in the main event a few years ago and after like a minute of radio silence sighs, hangs his head and goes "good call" to his opponent and then goes to turn over his hand and is like wait you said call right?

I just tried to watch a past Christmas episode where Hellmuth plays 5/T and it was boring as hell with the stakes not actually mattering to the players. Might as well have been play money.

Yeah that's how this episode felt. The money is too small for any of these guys to care.. you have guys shoving with 2 3 off

How exactly do you "advertise" your way into big private games by abusing a whale so ****ing hard he can barely breathe afterwards lol

He's way overdoing it and he comes off like a douche anyway.

Then again, at least he's not a total waste of space like Hellmuth. I lol'd when he checked behind top pair with SPR of 1. What the hell?
