He used to post pretty regularly on a blog he had but he hasn't posted in about a year or so. I think he still plays a bit and I know he used to run a big staking pool (maybe he still does?) for folks to play in the WSOP ME.

Did Stealthmunk finally take that daytrading job? I know he talked about being cold-offered that type of gig a few times on here.

say what you will but his LGB at that time was perfect for intro people to poker, feel like back then you could read it and sit down at a lie 1-2Nl table and legit not lose money, eve if it was catered for tourney play. i think, or at that time, it was a pretty solid book for absolute beginners, the best you could recommend

Reading the tales from 5 years ago of former TV pros playing 2/5 made me pretty sad. I imagine many of those have fallen even further since then.

Whatever happened to JNandez? It's like he fell of the map after his split with upswing, not that I've been keeping up with poker that much

I watch his streams from time to time (both on youtube and twitch), he seems to be doing well for himself with his training site and GG sponsorship. Recently streamed plo 20k with cards up, pretty good watch, not many players would stream those stakes

Im not a fan or anything, he seems like a very greedy and generally pretty awful person, but his free streams are good value and decent entertainment

Mizrachi still plays but otherwise pretty active in the NFT scene.

Annie Duke is a partner at First Round Capital (VC). Apparently describes herself as "decision strategist" lol. Check out her website.

Vanessa Selbst retired from poker a few years ago and went to work at Bridgewater (hedge fund). Based on her Linkedin it seems like she's moved on to trading.

He had a habit, as do I, of extremely silly posting in bbv4l, oot, etc and was much smarterer than many of his posts suggest. I actually just post on and off but like 95% of bbv4lers he moved on probably embarrassed by some of his posting and taking himself more seriously now. The brain power of early bbv4l was actually immense, and hundreds of them have moved on to successful marriages and successful careers.

The broke slightly confused college/high school students grew up and in the four corners of the world have a combined net worth easily i. the hundreds of millions of dollars.
