ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
Phil Ivey, Jenifer Harman and Todd Brunson bailed on the 5 diamond this year to hit up LA to play a billionaire. Did Andy Beal make a come back? I sure as hell hope so.
I absolutely love reading about those matches. |
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
this type of topic is more suited for the WPT forum.
but yes i would like to hear more about this too. |
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
or rather news, views, and gossip

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
I could ask Michael Craig - I met him at last week's blogger convention - but I doubt it's him and I doubt Michael would know....

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
I think Andy Beal has lost interest in playing since he already proved he can compete with the top pros at a reasonable level.

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
yes but in terms of big bets?
|
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
Beal lives in Texas so it's unlikely.

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
well, believe it or not, there are other billionaires that live in the la area.
|
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
It was probably Larry FLint????
|
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
I don't think Flint is a billionaire. Plus he holds regular games against the top pros.
Perhaps Kerry Packer. Aussie billionaire, huge gambler, hella cool guy in a way. |

Beal lives mostly in Texas so it's unlikely. [/ QUOTE ] FYP. When your a billionaire you don't live in one house or one state. I think Andy has a fair amount of business interest in California and a house. |
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
He's playing 10/20 6 max on Crypto as we speak!

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
Kerry Packer is quite a story. When I was a kid I caddied at Muirfield in Ohio (very good private golf course). Kerry comes in for a week and stays on the grounds, along with an entourage of friends and lady friends. At the end of the week he pays all his caddies $10,000 plus brand new golf clubs he had bought just for the trip. He also tipped a grounds crew guy $100 for a cigarette. There was a rumor that he once won $18 million in one night at MGM in Vegas, but I dont know if this is true.

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
wow.

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
In a interview on CP, Todd said he went to LA about the 60million dollar tourney or whatever

Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
On the Crypto skins it seems like you can set your location to whatever you want, and you can even make screen names identical to other players if you make the account on a different skin.
Chances of this being Andy Beal are slim slim slim. It's not like he's unknown to non-poker geeks, especially after the release of "The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King." |

[/ QUOTE ] It just gave me a funny mental picture of a him sitting upon a golden throne, feet up on bags of cash, while I'm sitting on a dirt flop, feet up...so the rats won't gnaw my toes. Online poker...the great social equalizer. Who'da thunk it? |
Re: ANDY BEAL (Is he back?)
OK this thread is officially worthless. Any actual news about Beal should go in a new thread.
