Why is he aloud to change his name on Fulltilt?   I remember looking into this before and I was told by email from support it was not aloud.  I guess there are different rules for high rake players

300/600 Action (and my biggest win ever +643K) Last night I played some more 200/400 and 300/600 NLH. To add to the days totals I won another 343K in NLH and another 52K in PLO. This brought the daily totals up to 568K in NLH and 75K in PLO for a total win of 643K for my biggest win ever. I ended up winning 411K in a HU match against Ram. This was very good result since at one point I was stuck ~220K.


I was going to post a link to his blog myself after watching the end of his HU game Vs Ram on FT. $643k is a pretty good day's work.

yes this is an excellent blog and a very real insight in what its like to play at the highest stakes possible online, day in day out.

On the same note, Taylor caby's blog is equally as good IMO. He is a co-founder of cardrunners and made his name as Green Plastic on UB, crushing HU NL games to the point where he couldnt get a game. Ive seen some of his videos, and he has an excellent approach to poker, and one videao makes you think about so much more than the cards, very thought provoking. Reading his blog also gives a true refelction of the ups and downs, and is a credit to the site

For a guy who hates Vegas he doen't do too badly whilst he's there... an interesting six weeks for this guy. His best month online in may followed by a decent vegas trip!

I don't like the bit where it refers to getting the dealer sacked.  Seems like the work of a prat if he would do that


What does it mean when it says  'Guser' next to the comments?    Are these all from the same person?    That is a serious amount of reader comments by one guy.

I thought he just didnt tip her or something, not get her sacked?

Yeah I think 'guser' is just a username.

No idea.   I was reading a few of the comments by Guser and the other one near the top by Cardrunners.  com .  See below.

I never read BT blog to be honest, so I don't really know anything about the guy either way.  It seems a bit nasty to threaten a dealer with being sacked

I love when people who work for tips complain about not getting tipped. Sure, sometimes it's an oversight or a cheap-ass bonehead who just doesn't tip, but often it's simply that the service wasn't worthy.

This is a high-stakes, private game. At a minimum the players should expect discretion from the dealer and that whatever goes on in the room remains private. Since she couldn't do this part of her job, I doubt the rest was all that stellar.

You WILL be fired for this.

If she was sacked it was not Brian who got her sacked, it was her own indiscretion.
