This guy is such an attention whore. Sad to see his relationship didn't last long enough for this article to be posted.

Nothing like pissing where you eat. I also like high limit games where you can buy in for $500.

"Michael Phelps likes privacy... put that in your article on the front page of the Washington Post!"

stuff like this makes me feel like the whole world is trolling me

If Mike Phelps likes privacy, he should try to avoid getting arrested for DUI. Twice is enough.

^^^^
Reads like a complete b.s. story.
How soon until the Washington Post shuts down its comments for pointing that out.

If the guy actually has a 'team', I wonder how often they are at the same table...

fwiw Chad is KyddDynamite

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...kjack-1247695/

he hasn't been around these parts for a while but i can see the figures provided being realistic if he's still staking a bunch of people

you basically get a year of gooey soft games then pack up and go somewhere else

nothing tooooo bad about being open and honest about it, it's not like they plan on being grinders there for 3-5 years

I doubt anyone making the kind of money he makes would need to sell action

Comes off as a complete dueshbag. I don't think the article repeatedly using the term "team" is good for poker either.

Mr power was probably misquoted here. Maybe he can get the article removed from their paper?

If he really is making 400k to 800k I doubt he cares about your opinions of him

If he really is making 400k to 800k then he's probably also dealing drugs.

So that's the range of his yearly expectation? A floor of 400 and a ceiling of 800? Either number doesn't seem very hard to me if you have a bunch of soldiers out there giving you half their win rate or whatever, just seems like a weird calculation/I'd love to see the math.
