At least from a parent's perspective. What if you were offered a deal that your kid would be a horrible person but a winning poker player? |

Re: WCOOP Main Event Winner Playing 4 HU 5k on Stars at Once
You guys are all jealous haters. Jordan Berkowitz is the top poker player under 25 in the world. The last player to display this type of natural poker skill was the great Stu Ungar. The only reason he is not the best in the world right now is that he is too young to sit with the big boys in the big games that would really challenge him. Unless they set up some private games that he can play in, we will have to wait about 3 years to see him reach his full potential, sitting in the big game w/ Chip, Barry, Chau and other poker peers who can at least give him a decent challenge. If WSOP was 16+, this kid would probably have 5 bracelets already.

(and very well may be overrated.. tha 5 bracelet claim is pretty silly) -- And looks like you got a little [censored] on your nose Diablo. |

Re: WCOOP Main Event Winner Playing 4 HU 5k on Stars at Once
I agree with Diablo, you guys are making inferences about him as a person, judging by his poker playing, and trash talk? So, yeah he talked trash at the final table, but so what? He wanted the other players to fear him, and think they were outmatched, and... the probably were. Who cares if he loses all his money doing this, he clearly has shown that he is incredibly talented at this and will definitely be a winning poker player. If he gets into some other things, drugs, craps, sports betting, etc, it could definitely ruin him, but give the guy some credit. You don't have to be friendly (although I try to be...) and a great guy at the table, theres no rule book of poker that says you can't talk smack at the table. Ever watched Matusow play Prahlad on FT... There is some serious smack going on when they play.
I really couldn't care less if this guy makes 1m dollars playing 5k heads ups, or loses it all. |
