I don’t think I’ve seen a 2/5 game in my life that I’m “losing to.”
I like the stress free ways of making money. Poker isn’t exactly stress free. But it is kinda fun.
I know some “balla” dropouts who chose to follow my footsteps to do pro poker and they never returned to education which, yes, in my opinion hurt them in long run regarding not opening as many doors for opportunity and career / income etc.
Never played cash during series. Only been to vegas once. Snuck in underage age 19. Floor guy @ Bellagio asked are you Grimstarr I said lol yeah and he let me play anyways. Pretty sure he knew I was underage.
Never played Bobby’s room. Only played little 25-50 uncapped @ Bellagio. Did ok (got lucky apparently in big pot. Opponent kicked idk) Dumped some back next day @ 10/20.
I only played commerce for like a month straight about 20 years ago. Yea games were great during LAPC and huge. Seen Sammy Farha lose a 250 k to the magician with 69suited hearts lol to Antonio’s JT on 7h8h9x @ 200/400. No idea if those Stakes still run there or not.
Not familiar w big mix games. Doyle grimmed me for $20 once on full tilt. Only time I ever played him. Played a bit w Ivey on full tilt too. He’s good. More legendary than limon and me put together. Mount Rushmore type. No I never played w chip Reese. think he died before I had a bankroll
