fitzinabox 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I heard about his drug problem from a reputable source. Maybe he was having a bad day, who knows. To me it seemed like he just didn't want to be there at all. Whenever i am dealt k7o i am going to open shove from now on so i can be a champion like Ted Forrest. Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've only played with him twice before but he was always like nicest guy at the table and the whole show just seemed to be the complete opposite of just about everything i've seen or known about himI spent one evening during the Series with Steve and we went to watch Ted at his FT (not televised, the event that Flack won).Ted came over several times and seemed very nice, really cool, almost shy-ish. Was in a great mood.I guess anyone can have a shitty day...or? Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Have met him twice. Both times he was exceptionally cool. His actions on PAD definitely seems out of character, but then again, you can't really know someones character from meeting them twice. There are certainlly rumors 'around town' about him having some substance issues but I don't know if those are old rumors or new ones. Link to post Share on other sites

ROACHBABY 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I don't see where the idea that he was strung out on drugs came from. He's not scratching or jittery or slurring or acting like Anna Nicole Smith. He's just kinda being an *******. I think he's just frustrated that he isn't getting any cards and he is getting out played. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's just frustrated that he isn't getting any cards and he is getting out played.If you watch his match vs Hellmuth, imo, he looks like SOMETHING is wrong with him. He's aggitated, he's fumbling chips, constantly looking around. I don't know the guy and I've only heard good things about him. He just seemed really off in that episode to me.Mark Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Looks like he has a headache.As a long time sufferer of sinus headaches I can confirm that they will cause the furrowing brow, distracted demeanor, and boorish behavior. Link to post Share on other sites
EStormOk 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I missed the episode where he played Hellmuth. Did he have words with Hellmuth? I seen something on a preview but didn't see it. If he did what was the nature of the beef? Link to post Share on other sites

looshle 6 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 I think everyone is reading into this way too much.I mean yea the drug comments are kind of out of line, but you have to admit that he was definitely agitated for some reason.I think his "I'm gonna quit cash games for a year and just study tournament players" was a big stab at Wasicka who was never more than cordial and friendly at any point in the match. Wasicka handled himself really well while Forrest was being pretty disrespectful imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Saw him on the CardPlayer cribs and he seems like one of the coolest most genuine guys in poker. As far as Ted goes, Ted said that he felt that Wasicka played well. He told me this shortly after the tourney. I think his comments and his actions are a little random at times. He can be sarcastic, but I don't think he ever means to intentionally hurt anyones feelings. He might have been having an off day, no clue. I've heard people say and do a million times worse on a routine basis. Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't really have any bearing on the discussion imo, just because there are huge douches out there doesn't mean that Ted was conducting himself well. Link to post Share on other sites
