More on Huck Seed

what about baggins?

This is a true story because it happened to me! I was sitting in the 4-8 hold'em at the Horseshoe the year before Seed won the World Championship. Some guy looked at the ticker and it said "home of the WSOP" and said "hard to believe that happens here with all the trash around right now." It was August or September and they couldn't even get a 10-20 game going then. Seed is sitting to my left and says "yeah, someday I am going to win the championship" almost off-hand. Guy is incredulous and says "yeah right buddy, and I am going to win the Masters that year too". I didn't realize it was Seed until two nights later I went to Mirage and played with a buddy. He pointed over to the 80-160 HE game they had then, the field included Ken Flaton and Jennifer Harman and Seed was there. My buddy was talking about all these players and I was like, dude that guy was playing 4-8 with me a few days ago! He told me his name and said he was one of the biggest winners in CA over the past few years. My buddy was a 20-40 regular in LA back then and said he would play any game at any time. Big limit, small limit, it didn't matter. It was almost like he had karma, he realized he could win some money in 15-30 and would play it, then later he would be put on the board for 150-300 stud and be in that. The ego of being high limit or middle limit player didn't seem to mean a thing to him, he just almost always won whatever he played. Nine months later he was the champ and my buddy reminded me of how he had played with me before. Seed just seems to be a guy that loves the game and the challenge with it, the limit or the money aren't the biggest concern for him. He might have looked pissed about losing just because he is that competitive, not because he didn't have enough money for gas.
