Re: Interesting article on prop players

when you're 53 years old, I'd presume you aren't as willing to accept higher volatility with ultra-loose games even when there is a higher overall return (in theory). this prop wants a "municipal bond" type of poker game and not "biotech stock".

Good analogy but I suspect that the reason this guy has propped and not moved up and played bigger games on his own is that he's not good at hold'em.
Tight preflop and fit-or-fold postflop will only get you so far, and not recognizing loose games as the goldmines they are is idiotic. Note that this guy didn't articulate that he was uncomfortable with the increased variance loose games create; he appears to think that they're impossible for him to beat. Given his likely skillset I suspect this is true.

it’s very hard to beat too many bad players...it’s very hard for the player who knows how to value hands, position, and odds to get through those people. It devalues his cards.

Pathetic.
