Played 1/2 with Jared Huggins at the MGM grand on Wed night of this week. Sat to his left. Nice guy. Seemed to play a solid game at 1/2.

Not sure what's happening with him these days, I didn't press for information, or let him know I knew who he was. I wanted to let the guy kick back and relax without any undue attention.

Anyway I know there was a lot of interest in him on this forum so I wanted to give this quick sighting report.

I too saw a poker player playing poker.

2p2 madlibs thread ftw

Any new US players to Merge not seeing their stats on PTR? Not sure whats going on... tried to search my name and its not appearing.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the shoutout. Please add me on Facebook so I'll recognize you next time I see you at MGM.

I have psoriatic arthritis. It has taken a shot at my quality of life, and has been very difficult from day to day. I feel like I've handled it well up to this point.

When I'm not working, I'm building up a bankroll for poker. Spent most of the money I had pre-Black Friday donating, volunteering, and trying to raise $ for charity, roughly 4k (depending how you count it). I gave everything I had to try to use my Big Game opportunity to help out disadvantaged people. Not satisfied with the results, but proud of the effort. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyHJ31QMEtk

I try to remind myself, of all the amazing adventures I've been lucky enough to experience, and to lean on my faith in God.

I'm a student at Stackemcoaching. Check it out if you get a chance. Making the transition to live play. Down the road I'd like to host a tournament to benefit individuals suffering from psoriatic arthritis.

Hope to see you again. Thanks.

my, you are a noble gentleman

Would/do you wear poker-themed apparel?

What would you want the shirts to say/show? (feel free to photoshop)

Or would you rather not wear any of it to avoid any looks/questions from other people?

Interested in hearing some opinions.

unless you are sponsored and at a live event, very donkish and usually creates awful conversations with people asking "but how much did you loose"

/thread

i'd take a free tshirt

Havent seen this player on the tables before. Goes on the name "fake love 888" and is from Monaco. Plays the highest mix games 400/800.

It must be Gus or Patrick imo.

imo

He was a nosebleed cash player who hit a big downswing a few years ago and wrote a dark but strangely poetic blog post about it-http://betting.betfair.com/poker/pet...to-040310.html

Since then there has been no news as far as I'm aware.
So, what happened?

The guy who wrote that blog is not the guy you are looking for...

he was on the big game.....and was one of the hosts for rootbone radio

His friends call him Elroy.

Everyone gives this guy **** but he seems like a good guy to me.

Discuss

lol, wft is a NVG section for if it not for news views and gossip. **** u mods. Just delete the thread ffs. A garbage can of threads is not where anyone is going to look for anything

Is he still playing in the high stakes games?

PLO pays well!

I miss watching Sammy play

$100million? Im sure the bulk of that came from his Lucky You cameo. Why would they even mention that...

it's not mandatory to start a new thread in a new forum with every single post

lol did he get paid $90 million for a cameo or something?

that sounds pretty fun tho tbh

That site is totally inaccurate. Him having $100M is pretty ridiculous.
