He's not related to Barry or Jeff from what little I know.. all I know is he's an insanely good online player, he took down the 700k on stars a few weeks back.

These are the kind of 1.5M chip hands that are why Nick will win 276k to 2M, while Alex went home w/ 27k:

Minh Nguyen raises to $90,000 preflop, and Nick Schulman reraises to $285,000. Nguyen moves all in over the top for $418,000 more. Schulman goes into the tank for a minute before deciding to make the call. Schulman has Nguyen covered, but Nguyen is in the lead. Nguyen has 10c-10h and Schulman is in bad shape with 8h-8s. The flop improves Nguyen's lead, when it comes Ac-9s-7s. The turn is a diamond, and looks a bit like a snowman. Could it be? It's an eight. All of a sudden Nguyen goes from a huge favorite to an underdog. He does have some outs however. He can catch a jack or a six for the straight, or a ten for the win. The river is a brick though, the 3h, and Schulman outdraws the veteran professional Nguyen, sending him to the rail in 8th place. Nguyen takes home $172,800 for his efforts.

To understand this hand, you'd have to know how Nick has been playing up to this point. He's been making big moves, and been fortunate enough not to run into huge hands. In this situation, he ran into a big hand and was basically pot committed albeit a very tough call. He took a ton of beats earlier on, and was fortunate to suck out in this situation.

It's kind of unfair to pick on him for this hand because he's been playing very aggressively and when you play like that sometimes you have to play a big pot with the worst of it, but that's compensated by the large # of pots you've won without seeing a showdown.

IMO I think Nick is roughly 3 to 2 dog to win the whole thing.

nobody is picking on him, diablo was just showing how you gotta run g00t. also see:


1) the 1.6M coinflip, TT vs AQ, TT holds

2) 33 vs QJ, 33 holds (albeit a smallish pot)

3) guy moves in for 14 bb utg, lyle berman cold calls, and
takeover wakes up w/ AA to bust original guys 88


when people say, wow, that guy is running good, they generally aren't making a statement about that person's skills. why does everyone take offense when you say they got in a few lucky situations?
