Steve Sung on mediocre poker - Page 2 - Poker News

He sounds like a nice guy, but fairly manic, which makes me wonder if he has bipolar depressive episodes.

If he were a friend of mine, I imagine myself constantly trying to chill him out.

um, no.

What an idiot, only stupidity is why he lost his whole role.

Good interview. I appreciate his honesty, rather than trying to come across as a baller.

his tournament results are pretty solid. aside from this year's bracelet, he's also made WSOP final tables in 2007 $10K PLO, 2008 $5K 7-card stud hi/lo, and this year's $10K 2-7 draw. the guy is definitely an all-around player.

If someone asked me to back a player but they got to choose the event the person played in, Sung would be in my top 3 with Ivey and Benyamine.

I'm guessing that money wasn't just blown in flips

I love at about 3 and a half minutes in when he's talking about the high he gets from winning/losing he says "ya know, I've never done co-" and then he catches himself, realizes he's probably done enough blow to kill a small horse and then says "ya know, I've never done heroin in my life, but I'm pretty sure that's what it feels like".

It's not when they aren't a full tilt pro like Mr Sung.

Good interview though.

He seems like a real nice guy.

A super sick puppy though.
