whered u get that from tuds?

QFT. I would also like to think he could come up with a better sn than seda1.

why in the world is anyone wasting their time with reasons its not barry? who gave you the idea that there is a non-0 chance its barry other than some ****** in this thread?

xaston, and i gotta own him out of loving spite

when i first heard jay-z, i thought <1%

but then i thought:
-this guy is not a pro. clearly.
-jay-z has reportedly played a decent bit of poker lately
-jay-z and ivey know each other
-jay-z is one of the few people who ivey would extend that kind of credit to (if cross-booking story is true).
-one needs a lot of money to play 1k-2knl. jay-z has a lot of money.
-seda means 'silk' in portugese and, more to the point, it is a slang term that has an entry in the urban dictionary. it has two def, neither well established, one is 'dirty kinky little boy'. the other is 'a man who ages before his time'. Perhaps the term also has other more positive connotations. Either way, I've never heard the term before, but Jay-Z is more likely than most to be familiar with it. I think the fact that Seda has some kind of interesting etymology makes it less likely that this is an athlete.

All this is not to say that we're substantially north of 1%

Seems like one could track time of play relative to known whereabouts in an attempt to get disconfirmation.

BA

Isn't Ivey from NY/NJ ... either way, it's hard for me to imagine someone as image conscience cool as JayZ playing nerdy online poker. Balla types seem like casino players where everyone can see em playing for big money.

ugh why does garbage like this have to show up under such an amazing post by BA...how is playing online poker for millions of dollars not a "balla" thing to do. and did you consider an international celebrity might have better things to do than waste away in Las Vegas playing heads up against Ivey in slow, boring live poker?

Level? If not congrats for taking my post way too seriously.

Phil Ivey = walk in the park

I just can't see a Professional Athlete spending this much time playing online poker, and in a month we will probably be able to rule out Jay-z.

maybe it's beyonce playing on jay-z's account

It must be Must be Gilbert Arenas

no way an NBA player has time to play
I mean these guys spend tons of hours on sports:

recovering
traveling
working out
resting
practicing

I could imagine a real degen bball player for a few minutes a day, but not 2+ hour sessions, unless:

all star break
injury
3 or 4 day w/o games (kind of rare to have 3+)

well a friend of mine told me that he used to play mid-to-high stakes Razz with seda1 long ago (2yrs or so), so it's almost surely not Jay. but now this guy is even more of a mystery man. you never know, the whole thing could have been a joke (playing for 0). -ba

This is a joke?

The amount of X-Box time these guys put in on the road is over the top...it's what they do all day every day basically.

Also, anybody really think that with the amount and types of companies that Jay-Z runs he is putting in sessions online..c'mon. He is an international superstar that runs companies. Def Jam, etc...

phil ivey's illicit affair with Paris Hilton imo

Stupid question perhaps, but why can't one speculate that it might be A-Rod?


Seems to fit all the descriptions, 1. A ton disposable income 2. Might have ivey's number through Hellmuth or Jay-z since everyone is saying they are friends 3. He just reported to camp today I think


In no way im saying its him....just curious for an argument against...Unless I missed something about him

Its Sorel Mizzi's new FTP account. He has some solid horses that came through in FTOP's and they all just transfered.

why woudlnt sorel just play the 250/500 game on betfair instead?

Because FTP banned him yet he still backs 20-30 top MTT,Cash and STT players so when there is large transfers needed he has to have an account.

He will be playing big games at Betfair soon enough IMO.

How many high stakes razz players are there - not exactly a big player pool.


Someone speculated that it might be someone who he met at Larry Flynt's home game. Could it be Flynt himself?

Aren't I up like 5 stacks at $2/$4 vs. you?

I like this theory

Probably easy for a guy like him to play online poker...

its keanu reeves
