Mentions he lost over $2.5 m and received 10% back in a settlement..the guy is for real and is not afraid to name names...
Talks about how he knew he should have stopped playing but he COULDN"T...tell me he is not a degen we can all identify with..

Brad Booth....busto or not...guy gets my respect and well wishes to see him go on a rush...

Also +1 to never understanding the Yukon hate, one of the nicest guys in poker.

You'd have to be pretty damn sensitive to misconstrue this thread as hate. We are actually treating him like his buddies would imo.

NVG doesn't sit in games with Brad because all of NVG is broke after learning table selection/br management from him.

It didn't happened.
He did however get Phil Ivey to lay down pocket kings (on the flop)

Yukon seemed like a good guy. I hope he makes a big comeback.

Does anyone remember the HS episode when he told Daniel he had played poker every single day the last 8 years. Daniel asked him "EVERY DAY?" He said yes every day.

This can't be true unless Yukon had wayyyy more accounts than i knew of.

+1 to Yukon being a good dude, except that one alter ego xxragedxx or whatever it was when he just used to talk crazy talk to tilt people... Was just bizarre lol. Met him once or twice and always thought he was a nice guy. Loadin up that game selection vid now.

How true! He alway has time for anyone who wants to speak to him. I've encouraged a few newer players at the BCPC to just go up and say hello and he's always been very gracious to them. Not all the "name" players are so kind.

Oh yea, and he gives great hugs!

I don't think anyone (that matters) equates money with personality, so people speculating that he is busto are not giving him tool status. I happen to be a fan as it seems most are, and I'm sure that % would only increase if only we could hear the ffffffffffffffdddddddddd up story/stories.

this took place before they hooked up. I was actually wondering if being on this show encouraged him to go out and hook up with her..

This is actually brilliant. Pre-flop Brad represents to Ivey... you giving me 20:1 implied odds on my small pair. When the flop comes in low... Brad represents a small set so freaking well... that Phil lays it down. One of my all-time favorite hands. Don't try this at home.

Barry said when he was talking to Ivey about that hand, Ivey thought Brad was just some rich donk and figured he had AA and never would have folded if he knew Brad was a pro.

EDIT: Brad's description of the hand, followed by Barry's account later in the thread.

Quote:

When Phil called me at the break, he said, "When a businessman acts like that, he often has Aces." I said Brad's a professional poker player. Phil said, "I didn't know. I've never seen him before. That's a different story."

Phil called me at the next break and said, "I would call him in on the two Kings hand in two seconds now that I've played with him for a couple of hours."

Barry's post continued at http://www.pokerroad.com/forums/tele...html#post32238
