Too funny.
I was just coming here to post this, as I think this is very exciting news for CardRunners. Don't get me wrong, Taylor is great, but I'm pretty excited to watch some sbrugby videos.
And yeah, that first reload (I just saw it 15 seconds ago) is pretty sick. He's just shy of $1 million. On Full Tilt.
The best part of this story is his . I'll add some bold for the tl;dr crowd:
I played with him on Full Tilt in the summer/fall... 2/4-5/10 range, as I recall. When I spotted him playing 200/400 a couple of months later, I thought I must have been remembering his name wrong.
That is just sick. Sick sick sick sick sick.
While I don't feel that I get as much out of it now as I did in the very beginning, I do credit CardRunners with a lot of my NL cash game success (as I told Andrew and Taylor in the Bahamas), and I'm happy to remain a member of their site both as a token of my thanks, and to hopefully continue learning. Lately, when I've been running bad and getting frustrated, I've been trying to quit playing (I still have trouble walking away from a "good game" when I'm losing and inevitably playing badly) and watch a video instead. The couple of times I've done it, it's helped me, and I've come back strong. Does it change my play? I don't know - probably not... but it's reassuring and helps with my confidence, which is very important.
