FCP Bob 1,312 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Lots of comments on Twitter about Riess being arrogant with his comment that he is the best player in the World. I like Jason Mercier's take on it. Jason Mercier @JasonMercier 47m It's about time someone wins the main event and not only claims to be the best, but actually may think it. Confidence is everything guys! Jason Mercier @JasonMercier 46m That being said, claiming to be the "best in the world" after winning one tournament- ya, obviously not true. Gl to the kid in the 100ks! Jason Mercier @JasonMercier 44m Don't be so short sighted and offended by one kid "disrespecting" the game. I see positive in that his confidence will help grow poker!

donk4life 34 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It's not just that comment, he has a terrible attitude and will be a terrible ambassador. Looshle posted a story about how big of a dickbag he is and others have said the same. Hope he goes broke. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess if you think you are the best you want to wait until you win before signing any sponsorship deals. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think it's funny that people seem surprised that a poker player is arrogant. Especially since when you walk into a poker room nobody is arrogant. Link to post Share on other sites
Vegas Knights 54 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Russ Fox on the taxes the final table will pay http://www.taxableta...ies-of-poker-2/ The United Kingdom sounds like a professional gambler's dream. Don't have to pay for health insurance and don't have to pay taxes on your gambling winnings. Whereas from the article above: "J. C. Tran, a professional poker player from Sacramento, finished fifth for $2,106,893. Mr. Tran led the final nine players going into final table action but had a disappointing day on Monday. Mr. Tran may also be disappointed when he learns how much of his income will go toward taxes; he faces the highest tax bite for an American at the final table (47.56%). Mr. Tran will end up with a very high 13.3% marginal tax rate on his California taxes; he must also pay federal tax (including the new 39.6% rate) and self-employment tax. Mr. Tran will owe an estimated $1,001,977 in tax." Link to post Share on other sites
EStormOk 0 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Those taxes for Tran are out of control. And Reiss ran so good. Hard not to play better than your opponents when you get so much better cards. Link to post Share on other sites
answer20 5 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 2 of last 5 ME winners from Michigan!! And the state Gaming Control Board is attacking the charity rooms that we play in. Too bad ... build us a casino on the west side of the state so we can play without driving 2 hours please!! Played with a regular at Ryan's room in my room last night. And of course he said he wasn't that impressed with him. But when we continued our conversation at the differences of cash v tournaments we both conclude that we play much different. It seems Ryan has figured out a tournament style that works and has made a quick parlay of his previous circuit success. For sure running good has a big effect on the result, but you have to admit that he ran Farber over HU even when he lost a few hands in there. Farber didn't play the best either, certainly missing out on a couple of spots that most wouldve played differently. Its all in the moment. GL Link to post Share on other sites
