He used to give away his winnings to charity but not anymore i remember him giving the reason i think it was some bad investments and he doses't have as much cash now

That's a shame, fair doos though.

That explains why they're all struggling.

Very bad play all round here.

The businessmen's 3-bet should have only been to about 11 bottles - no need to go to 20.

Ivey's 4-bet to 200 is just horrible spew - could have achieved the same result by raising to about 60 imo.

Mods, plz move this thread to the CHA board.

I don't really understand this thing about people proving how much money they can afford to waste, or of others being impressed by it.

It reminds me of how, when sugar was a luxury only the rich could afford, those that had it would rub it on their teeth until they went black because black teeth = wealth.

I agree, i respect people who are generous but this 'balla' thing is something else...

A band called the KLF had a few hits during the late 1980's/early'90's and then burnt £1M cash in a big bonfire.

How balla was that ?

And that as back when £1m was a lot of money.

 It's a sad reflection on society that it will have impressed more people than it would if they had spent the money on MRI scanners or incubators for premature babies.

I wrote up this story and apparently it's true! (well let's just say that in essence it's true, although details of the story may have been exaggerated somewhere along the line)

It is ridiculous excess obviously and AndrewT is right, the bet-sizing is all off.

I guess in some ways it does represent what Vegas is all about - vulgar excess and showmanship.



I prefer the story of Ivey about how some small stakes player shipped him $10 on Full Tilt as a joke, only for Ivey to ship him $1k back.

I always wondered if this was true, or a clever money-making scheme by Ivey, involving tens of thousands of small stakers all shipping him $10 hoping for the same treatment!

No.

Probably not a very good gag from me then.

Trying to say they spent all their money on women, and that those women's bodies could be considered baby incubators.

As I say, not the best, but I'll keep trying.

I wasn't talking about money they spent, but the £1m that they burned.

(I think that's why I missed the joke)

Any chance they had of sexing women just went up in smoke imo.
