  1. Is it weird to anyone that a career $5 ABI player over 8000+ entries can suddenly take 3 shots and bink a 6 figure payday out of nowhere?

    Just saying.

  3. Don't question anything. You will soon get the standard played out haters gonna hate post because you questioned something unusual. Us Americans have been brainwashed not to question anything suspicious so don't feel bad when the parade of robots berate you
  4. yeah maybe if you can come up with a legit reason of WHY its so unusual, there are people in this world who have money who dont play poker for a living who can afford to take shots. get over it imo.
  5. looks like he's practicing good bankroll management since the score though :o)
     
  6. 90% of shottaking is timing
     
  7. idk nothing weird there.

    how about this gem though?

    guy ships a 2r, a 3r and a 5r in basically the last week (i think 2 of em were cubed but w/e) within his first like 100 MTTs. just found this funny, don't think hes cheating but wow what an improvement/start
  8. be more jealous op
  9. doesn't this happen everyday sunday
     
  10. How does a micro grinder ship 145k and then go right back to playing the same tourneys as before. You would think the guy would atleast play a $55 or $109 freezeout.
     
  11. Looks like he's played 8 $215's, a $109 and 2 $163's lifetime. Sick bink.
  12. Maybe he had a lot of debt and used the 6 figure score to help pay them off and grind his usual games? Just saying, that is what I would do. Pay off student loans, phat down payment on house, live comfortably
  13. the things that keep you up at night..
  14. debt or not , going back into those rake rip off $3.40s is super strange..
  15. so hes played over 8000 tournaments and youre surprised he won something? im sure they must have some kind of skill by now
     
  16. he plays the sunday mil, so isnt averse to splurging on a big buyin every now and again - and this time it paid off! well fricken done my man and while ur still pissed or stoned keep at those low buyins and then get right back up and do it again
  17. I don't know.. if he sat'd into the $215s I wouldn't think anything of it. But to buyin direct to 3 $215s after 8000+ entries with a single $15 buyin as the next biggest entry seems peculiar.

    I could be off, but a lifetime $5 ABI losing player doesn't out of nowhere takes direct buy in shots to the $215s.

    look closer. He sattied in to the big score a few days before. And he won $99 a few days before he played and cashed the milly the week before. Besides, who knows, maybe someone gives the guy an entry as a birthday present.

    Every week 1 or more low ABI/ sat players FT the milly. there were at least 3 in that 5 Milly week.
