I guess I didn't write it very well. He didn't lose in the games, but he also didn't crush them. What I mean is just that he splashed around a lot, trying to create action just to have a fun time at the table while talking and drinking. Definitely the vibe of not taking it as seriously when he played those games, but he didn't dump money at the table or anything. He was always great for the games because he got everybody else going. Also from talking about hands with him many times, you also get a vibe of whether they're good or not, if that makes sense.
I really do believe he was winning quite a bit online (just don't believe 2 million). I've hung out with him when he's played 10/25 online so I know he played that during that time, he had a decent house, car and all of that and would gamble high in the pit games while just playing cards for a living. I'm not trying to defend the guy in the least, it's just weird when people write backstories about how this all makes sense because he was a losing player all his life and all kinds of weird stuff I saw throughout the thread. And you talking about him being a massive loser in the game.
He was good, he was just never Stones Live good and he was definitely a bit of a Tunica local celebrity. Once again, not defending him, just filling in some of the backstory that I do know of.
