Jeezus Christ dude. What's next "Player TeddyKGB123 busted 94th in last nights double shootout"? Seriously. Even though Greg's a good guy, and a large 2+2 name, I think that this is bordering on lunacy. Are you going to post hand by hand results from his live cash game play next?

BTW, this isn't a dig at Greg in any way. I'm similarly disgusted by the hand by hand swing notes on Hellmuth's online play, and other "name" players. Yeah, sure, whatever, post a note saying "player xxx is in this game" or whatever, but why on earth you would need to copy and paste the chat or hand histories of every hand completely eludes me.

This is fairly standard with top chessplayers. Given that:
- Poker is very interesting to the mainstream right now.
- The top online players are very accessable.
- Hand histories are short and easy to read.

It makes perfect sense. These three things make it even more likely for it to happen than for chess games.

Sorry about your beats, Greg. I'm sure you played your best.

My God, man, relax. It's not like I'm trolling around following Raymer or anyone else.

It happened to be the first qualifier of the PS season, it was the first time I've ever seen Greg or any name player play online, he took two bad beats from the same guy he was trying to be nice too, and his comment was hilarious.

"Disgust"? geeeeez.... now if Greg resents it for some reason, that's another story. ( He's the man.)

PS probably just has him play in the satellites. if he wins, he wins. I am pretty sure he gets paid to be a shill for them.

I don't see how you could be pretty sure of something that you have no knowledge of whatsoever.

I thought you mentioned either on here or your website that you get paid to play in tournaments if you wear their logo.

PS have a web cam aimed at him to make sure he's got his PS shirt on and is not sitting at his computer starkers.

Is Fossilman's Stars handle the obvious? I'm going to be playing in some WSOP satellites and I'd like to know if he's in the tournament or sitting at my table...

Yep think about it real hard, it begins with an F and ends with a ossilman.

I momentarily misread this thread as "Fossilman outed in WSOP qualifier" ... frightening ... very frightening

[SoftcoreRevolt]

It would certaintly put him on tilt.
