2+2 Threads

0

Sup guys, been awhile. I recently put out part 1 of a 3 part series on midstakes on Merge. I play 4 tables of nl400 6max. Feel free to check it out and let me know what you guys think. I hope to get the 2nd and 3rd part to management this week. A lot has been happening in my life, just about everything bad.

My dad passed away from cancer about a month ago. I blogged about finding out he had terminal cancer a few months ago. I was having other personal issues that weren't easy to deal with. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, my cousin who moved to the US from Korea 4 years ago to become a professional poker player (against my wishes) bringing a wife and 2 little girls passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack last week. I just came back from my 2nd funeral of a very close family member within the past month. Also it really sucks having to play on Merge/Live when nearly all your play and success came from online the past 8 yrs or so.

Anyway since I've been back, my buddy Joe Tehan managed to bink another big score, this one for $300k, placing 3rd in a $20k epic tournament here in Vegas. It's always nice to rely on him to pay the bills...lol.

I guess he played a couple of hands very questionably to even bad and there was a lengthy thread about it on 2+2. What started out as a thread talking about those hands ended up turning into a prominent 2+2er (although I didn't know who he was) calling Joe a scammer. Since we know he's not, we had an issue w/ it and I intervened. What went on was a bunch of name calling (pretty much all from him), issues and acceptance of a hu4rollz challenge, and other entertaining and sometimes comical stuff.

Anyway here's the link if anybody wants a good read...

Also the following hu4rollz potential match (but unlikely to happen)...
