some quick replys to your first segment about boku87:
he only got a little over 30K$ in action AGAINST him - so he had only bet 10K$ himself and didnt win more than 45-50k in total with the challenge.
and boku also was already SNE in 2007, so he had before played lot higher stakes (he got to sne by grinding the 60$ sngs, which was awesome btw
).
regards from germany, and I always listen to & enjoy the pokercast
