Nick Frangos, Said he turned 10k into 1mil. one year!
 
Anyone know what limits he played to build that bankroll? That sounds pretty hard to do in one year of live games with 10k to start.

I turned $52 into 95k in 5 months of part-time play, so yeah, I'd say it's doable.

Pretty sure he did it mainly in the highest level stud games in AC, what, 200-400 usually? Prolly started lower, maybe a shottish 50-100 or so.

Nice job. What limits did u do it in?

mostly stud... 20/40 to 30/60 to 75/150 to 200/400 (some 3/6 and 4/8 mixed in).

throw some 50-100 and 100-200 HE in there too.

I used to see him down in AC at the Taj every weekend a year or two ago.

Mostly SNG's, with a nice run in 5-10 through 25-50 NL thrown in.

At the end though, I turned 31K into 5k in a week, which is FAR more impressive....

I've been on similar runs so i'm FAR from impressed. When i've done it, i think that "disgusted" would be a much better word

I used to deal to Nicky at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. He usually played $75-$150 HOE or SHOE. He's a solid player with no fear. He did these levels (with some backing I think) for a few years. He just recently started playing tournies and NL. That's where he's made great strides.

It's easy if you are extremely good looking. Extremely good looking people win preposterous pots. Just ask Bill

When and where did Nick say that? Almost exactly two years ago, I myself heard him say that if he didn't place in a tourney, he wasn't going to have enough money to eat.

He's lost a bunch of weight since then, so you be the judge.

We had a keg of bass at our cookout yesterday and someone had the GALL to bring a sixer of shiner bock!!!!

Seriously, who the hell drinks shiner with beef?

It is my favorite chicken beer, tho.

He said it on the wsop stud final event where awada ends up beating marcel luske in the end. He got to the final table. Last year i believe.

You start with a large fortune, and let me churn and burn it for a little while...

Thanks, Vince. Still up for my crossbook bet?

I've made over 100k this year playing mostly 15/30 and MTTs.
It would be very possible to make more playing higher limits, so I don't find the 10k to 1mil absurd at all.

Hey, don't blame me. I just believe what Bill Fillmaff tells me. Would you ask your buddy Vince if he's gonna take my crossbook bet? He never answered.

Its in the credits at the end of Volume III. It's a reference to you and Vince together, suggesting you're just one person.

Yeah, i just looked at it. How sad is that? He pays someone to get his face on camera. Does someone need attention? What is his name on here? He is so important i never noticed him.

Down here in Tap City we drink Shiner with anything and everything, especially BBQ, which is 100% beef. However, if you've got a keg tapped, I'm all-in (unless it says "Lite" or "Light" on it, in which case you can just run it down the gutter).
