Please.

I also agree with Vince's post.

If Ray Zee or Ed had posted exactly what Mr. Lepore said, there would have been 10 people agreeing and slobbering on his knob before he'd had chance to hit reply.

I agree that it is more of a sad story then a funny one. I think it is sad that a person with some talent for the game is doomed to be habitually broker because they can't control their own impulses.

I think it is sad that Sam had 160,000, which would have given him a nice bankroll to play any level up to 100/200 or 200/400 and blows it in one day.

I find it sad that Sam and other simaliar pros lack bankroll managmement skills and that this one flaw will keep most of them perpetually broke.

Obviously there are those in this thread that find this funny. They are the caring human beings we should admire.

In a discussion with another 2+2'er, we both agreed that neither of us will ever be one of the household-name poker players, because we both abhor the idea of going broke.

I feel that just about all the top pros are willing to risk more than I am, and therefore reap greater rewards.

Some of us think that is a sad story not a funny one.

I feel less sympathy for folks I consider jerks. I've only seen him on TV, but it certainly looks as if Grizzle is a jerk.

As told in OP's post, he appeared to be acting like a jerk along the way here.

Those who know and like Grizzle (surely these folks exist) have better reason for thinking this is a sad story.

If you have a large amount of sympathy for Grizzle here, you probably shouldn't be playing poker.

Money you win comes from someone. The money Grizzle won came from people. Did he feel bad about taking it? Surely not. He taunted them about it. Why should I feel bad when he loses it?

C'mon Vince, how can you feel bad for Sam Grizzle?

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.

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.
