    I'm very surprised there haven't been threads on him over the last two weeks. The kid is sick.

    Here are his PokerDB stats. Note that this does not yet include his win of the 100r last night for 15k. This also does not include a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in UB $100 mtts in the last week.

    In addition, he is a great cash game player and has been cleaning up in the 10/20nl on stars and 10/25nl on UB.

    Just wanted to give him props, because I am amazed at what he is accomplishing.

    As a cardrunners member I would also like to say that his videos give a lot of insight into what he is thinking while playing his hands but also what he thinks others have while he is out of the hand. They are helpful to any MTT player. Him and ActionJeff are making cardrunners great for MTT players too not just with cash game help.

    Muddy I want to thank you and all the other guys from Cardrunners with helping my game.

    I hadn't heard of him before CR brought him on board, but he's been owning ever since. Good find. :)

    Yep I absolutely love his style of play and his videos at Cardrunners are definitely my favorite because of his insight and because his play is most similar to how i play.

    Wow. Thanks so much for all the kind words everyone. A ranking would be great down the road, but for now I only play on UB on stars so I don't expect anything. Thanks again!

    I've been on the tables with you a couple of times on stars in the 100r, and it seems that you have been playing very well, good luck

    man, Stinger seemed to be on a pretty bad run when he started on stars! THEN, he finishes high in the second chance.... chops a 100r.... and now wins a 100r.... amazing!

    Incidentally, this winning streak started right around the time that Stinger introduced himself to me on AIM, and that my videos were released on CR. HMMMM...

    So you're saying he's lucky? Well thats what most good players are but they just don't want to admit it. If I didn't lose races I'd be ranked in the top ten.

    I think his success the last few months is due in part to his rail support. y00000000000

    Stinger is a class guy, in defeat or when he wins every race and dominates his opponents in MTT's, sng's or cash games. The kid is one of the hottest players online, takes time out to teach others on Cardrunners, and still plans to go to his Ivy League school in the fall.

    We would all be so lucky to have our heads on so straight!!! WTG......woot woot

    I also like to watch his videos on cardrunners, as he seems to be more aggressive then the rest of the players. From the site, if i remember right, only filthy seems to be more aggressive. So the question is, do you think extreme LAG play is the most succesful in MTTs, or what do you think? I read somewhere that barry greenstein is very aggresssive in MTTs since he figures all the money is in the top 5 %, so he willl take all the coinflips he can early, and he says 75% of the time he finishes in the bottom 50%. Do you think that strategy is correct? And also lol, about that guy saying that he would be ranked if he was as lucky. I like to bust out the "i havent won a coinflip in two years line", but in reality its cards so everyone is as lucky as the next. Except for Mike Matusow. He must have down some bad shit when he was younger cuz karma is just kicking his ass
