Funny Sam Grizzle Story


"This is from the pokerstories.com forum as told by Todd Brunson."

"About 12 years ago I was playing in a 150-300 hold'em game. Early in the morning Sam Grizzle walks in and starts commenting on how good the game is. When asked why he's not playing he pulls out his bankroll ($2) and sarcastically asks how much the buy in is.

He leaves and after talking to Puggy Pearson comes back with $10,000 and starts to play. Now after about an hour Sam an Puggy get into an arguement ( about what I can't remember offhand ) and Puggy picks up his $10,000 and half of what Sam was winning, leaving Sam with about $400, far short of the required buy in. Fortunatlly for Sam, no one says anything and in about four hours Sam is winning around $40,000.

If this isn't amazing enough, Sam quits the game announcing how he's going to do us a big favor and go play the tournament, allowing us to keep what money we had left.( He also told us how smart he was and dumb we were of course ) You can guess what happened next; Sam the genius wins the tournament and another $120,000 to go with the $40,000 he won off us earlier that morning. Not bad for a guy who showed up at the casino with $2 in his pocket.

It's now 6 am and he's been in the commerce for exactly 24 hours, time to get some sleep. That would be if he were a normal human but Sam's far from that. Sam comes up to the top section where there's a tough $800-1600 razz game in progress. Sam stumbles over and bellies up to the table losing his whole $160,000 in a fairly short period of time.

Instead of becoming upset Sam simply told every one how dumb they were,shook his head and walked out of the casino with the exact same $2 he showed up with the day before. Just another day in the life of a Gambler."

Re: A Funny Sam Grizzle Story
 

i played wiht sam grizzle once.

my AA beat his KK and that was essentially the end of tha. I think I raised his blind once.

Re: A Funny Sam Grizzle Story
 

the more i play and go to places with these so called "pros", the more i realize what degenerates many of these guys are.

everytime turning pro crosses my mind, a quick trip to vegas rights my thinking real quick.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I like to quote things as they are not as I would like them to be. That's what a quote is, isn't it?
