I played with him at a prelim at the WSOP. He was a class act and a good card player too.

yup...nothing like 4b folding KK on the bubble of the main event and turning it into a 17th....but whatever works.

Those crazy young internet kids with their poker knowledge and correct plays.

All hail Sam Barnhart, king of middle aged donks and winner of nothing. Savior of live poker nits.

How far did you go in the main event and do you have a wsop bracelet and a circuit ring?

So give your name so we can verify the wins on Hendon or pokerpages? Nothing wrong with playing 1/3 with Mississippi straddle it plays like a 2/5 game.

^^^ Turning KK into a bluff pre. But yeah, I honestly don't know why we are supposed to have an 'appreciation' thread for him? Why not JP Kelly then? He made it really far too and he has two WSOP bracelets? Why not Moorman, didn't he make it pretty far? Why not Any of the Nov 9'ers, they did even better than Sam Barnhart.(I realize that Lamb probably has a thread) What about Devo, Doc Sands, etc. This thread is just unnecessary.

I'm not a big time player like you besides the only big games in Tunica are when the circuits are in town. So I just settle to grind out $150-200 average daily profit playing 4-6 days aweek. And playing 5-6 circuit events yearly.
