Re: Another poker wunderkind
what would be interesting to learn is, is he a 2+2er? what of his poker education generally? is he a natural with no clue about 2+2 et al ??
why do you think this guy has no friends, because of his unique money++ situation, or for some other reason? i would bet this kid is a poker-playing INTJ personality type ...if so, he definitely does not need people around him. Which might explain how he can play poker for 60 hours at a stretch.

Re: Another poker wunderkind
I think if I even suggested to my father that I was dropping out of school to play cards and that I needed his credit card so I could fuel my NetTeller account he'd beat me to within an inch of my life... I can't even imagine my mother's reaction to such a request. What planet was this kid raised on?

I sense so much jealously and hate in this thread. Seriously.. yes he spends way too much but immense skill can make up for that. Just because he's not 2+2 everyone jumps the hatred bandwagon [/ QUOTE ] What's to like about this kid based on the articles? He drops out of school, starts out playing 20/40 after "learning the ropes," has no concept for a dollar, has complete disrespect for his opponents, and can't even manage a bankroll properly. This kid needs to work at McDonalds for a week.
