you think mement_mori doesn't work hard.

those who succeed in poker, really succeed not us half assed 1/2, 2/4 grinders who call ourselves poker players, they really work hard esp relative to the corporate world

he's just a guy whose dad was a real pro. saw the potential money in poker and just started having his dad buying him into every 10k event and called himself a pro. he never had his own his own big enough bankroll to play.

Funny to hear him say poker players are lazy as well when the only reasons he even ever was in the poker world was because he got lucky with a twitter account, used his fathers name to promote himself and sold out his name on empty promises. Articles like this are frightening because they makes you realize just how little research goes into so many of the articles newspapers put out (blackmail and the WPT story are both on first page of google).

First he tried to make it as a professional player and failed after the dirty sponsorship money ran out, then he tried to get a job in the industry for WPT and failed because everyone knows he is a scumbag, now he talks in the article about how all he was doing was "counting his money" and poker players dont have other interests. Good luck with your ****ing grapes Joe!

The whole "Sebok in poker" debacle couldnt be summed up any better than this

Guerneville?
interesting locale for Joe to live.
He is about 40 minutes from the 101 Casino. Be interesting to see if he
pops up there

Great article, very newsworthy and def a stand up guy. Obv his investigation of UB has led him to this place, perhaps some of the key players in the super user scandal own this operation and he is going deep, undercover.
