Saw TJ at the monday one as well. I haven't played with TJ but I know dealers that think he is still one of the best tournament players. It sounds like he has just degen'ed his money away though.

one of the dang brothers opened a restaurant. Speculation that the other brother is still playing on stars under one of the many aliases that are unknown right now.

Anyone heard anything about ugotabanana? Some speculation that he's the new degen !P0krparty¡ account but just wanted to know if anyone's heard anything about him, seen him playing live or whatever.

Also, Sumpas? Didn't he just destroy any 10k online donkaments that ran? Does he still play from time to time or any news on him etc?

massive fish who never learnt how to play after the boom. probably blows most of his money in sports betting etc.

What happened to him? Last I saw he owed some dough to Full Tilt (a little scary to say the least) and I remember hearing him say numerous times in different programs that he didn't have as much money as he used to. How is this? I figured the "stars" from the poker boom had all profited greatly and didn't necessarily need poker for main income.
Anybody know what is up with him? He used to give the manies to charity, now I'm thinking of donating to him

I remeber in the Life of Ivey, Ivey said that Barry's robinhood of poker thing was a scam. He said it jokingly and with a smile but you could tell their was some truth to it. I guess Ivey can be a dick sometimes, seen him saying some crazy **** before.

I mean a guy whos in debt giving away all his tournament winnings. Just dosnt add up. Somethings really fishy about the whole situation. Could someone with a lil more knowledge on the situation tell me how this would benefit him?

At the time he seemed to have more money. At some point he had to either lose a lot at poker, or some other investments. Or as you're saying maybe he didn't actually give away his winnings idk. I just thought he was one of the "good guys" in poker, but he got extremely nitty and took it to heart when the internet guys started to pwn him

i remember that, i think ivey was more talking about barry's humble good-guy image - he said 'the biggest ego in poker is barry greenstein', implying barry likes the attention. don't think ivey was literally saying barry = scam artist

Anyone remember this guy? He was dominating the WPT scene for a bit, and made back-to-back final tables in the short-lived Professional Poker Tour.

Anyone know if he is still around the circuit?

Bigler also informed us that he had experienced some health issues that took his attention away from game, though he is now making a return and looking forward to finding even more success in poker. Apparently, that didn’t take too long as Bigler recently tweeted:
