One of the players who finished in the top 3 of the 10r rebuy is playing 1k sng's suddenly today, he is nowhere near good enough to play at this level. He can kiss his br goodbye if he continues.

Why do people do this? Its crazyness!

same reason people will take their last $150 to play in a 5/10 game.

Wow, so what'd his top 3 cash? Like 4 buyins? That's worse than Berkowitz.

apparently you dont play the 10r often on stars.

first is 14k.

Well you said top 3...so I assumed 3rd. (which is still off, but you get the point)

Yup, I did that at 3/6 before I found 2+2, my reasoning was that I had been winning there before (lol, it was 4 days, probably around 1000 hands) and why shouldn't today be any different...

even though the week before I was breaking even at 1/2.

also.. it depends why these people are playing poker...

if they're trying to do it seriously and build a bankroll and make money.. well this is clearly bad strategy.

But if it's just some guy that plays for fun, can reload anytime, doesn't take it seriously.. then i dont' see anything wrong with this.

Not everyone takes poker this seriously, and it's not always a bad thing.

I can't help but say why the hell do you care? Seriously, I respect your contributions here, but I honestly feel that post is rediculous. You don't have any idea about this guys finacial situation, bankroll etc... Even more importantly it's none of your business.

Although he doesn't have other details (or at least I think he doesn't) it still brings up the point that players often make big scores and play way over their head.

You live and you learn. Just to let you know the guy in question owns 3 hotel properties and pretty much has an endless supply of bankroll. However, as bad of a poker player as you perceive him to be, he has done nothing but cashout in the last 2 years.
