I agree about the respect thing. This is a newcomer and people should have to earn their respect, not be able to buy it.
Was it KC or Oz who said he'd broke soon?
The guy did some sick wins in a very short time and obviously doesn't have any control if he will lose 4mil in a day. So sick to lose that kind of money, but to do it in a day? Wow.
Sounds like he needs to slow down and get some brm advice.
There have been studies done about people who have won the lottery and went broke because they never learned how to manage money. Sounds like this guy is doing the same thing.
Interesting interpretation about the most talked about topic/player in highstakes poker today... a guy who showed that he was able to crush Tom Dwan (not an easy task).
Not sure how you figure he bought respect? He built up a roll in less than 2mos. from 5figures to over 5million. (this is just what we know of... the bankroll on Fulltilt.. we have no clue as to what the rest of this guy's poker experience is... there have been many accusations that this is Viktor Blom (by Tony G for one).. but apparently Viktor adamantly denies it is him.
How do you figure that this guy needs to get BR advice when we have zero clue as to what his roll even is? (ie he's playing pots worth $700k+, I really don't think that losing 4mil in one day is that huge.... although I heard the total he lost in that day was closer to 2.8mil).
He's gained respect from poker greats such as Patrik Antonius but not from Storm Raven. That sounds a bit odd in itself???
I'm pretty sure he could teach us all a thing or two.... probably even stuff about BRM (one could assume he must know something about it to be even rolled to be considering playing those kind of stakes).
He also said that you need a bankroll of at least 300 million to play at the stakes the are playing at now. Not unusual to win or lose a couple million in an hour or so......
