So that pro would be running good for 2 weeks not 3 years lol.
I challenge anybody to play 1,000 MTTs in real life in 3 years.
Good luck...
FWIW - I don't personally have much love for his game but I can appreciate the ride he's on and feel happy/good for him. I think it's cool and great for the game that he's doing what he's doing. Anybody that is mad/upset/pissed is more than anything jealous, and I think in that aspect, our community can be real ****ty sometimes.
Imo, nice guy, probably great off the felt and trustworthy, stand up, and hey, he's winning. What's wrong with that? I think anybody who has a problem with it has misplaced emotions, and that there'll be some really happy high stakes cash players if they ever talk him into the game.
He openly doesn't claim to be a top level pro or anything - and knows he's not the best there is. I don't think anybody is saying that.
Does that mean that if he just waits for really good hands, and plays really big pots and forces good players into flips that he can't curb their skill edge? Not at all. And frankly, for his skill level, he plays a very good strategy from a logic point of view.
my two cents.
