is tuan le even playing the main event?


Recommended Posts

I took a prop bet on Bodog, Michael Mizrachi -120 against Tuan Le. I know that Mizrachi survived Day 1, though not with the chips he would like. But I can't find any mention of Tuan Le on Cardplayer, or anywhere else I've looked. If anyone knows, please respond.

I think he is a great poker player, but I think he is playing for the wrong reason. I don't think he has the heart for the game like Phil Ivey, Dan, and people like that who strive to be the best. I can't cheer for someone who says they want to retire when they make a certain amount of money.

Young Asian guys don't have the heart for anything, all they want to do is hustle, make money, and upgrade thier car.

This this a very bad stereotype. Juanda has as much heart as anyone to win in my view. Watch yourself, because a large percent of the big name poker players are Asian and stereotyping will get you in a lot of trouble.

I searched the remaining players, Tuan Le is not among them, but the Grinder is. I too remember seeing Tuan on the chip count list on either day 1 or day 2, so congrats on the win.-Shawn K.

Caro negatively(and correctly for his purposes)stereotypes Asians in one of his books as either very poor luck based players(100% true, it comes from the superstition of Asian culture), or exceptionally skilled analytical players. Todd Brunson has stated before that the only reason he plays poker is for money, he doesen't give a rats behind about braclets or any of that crap that the hollywood playres say they want, just money. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, if I couldn't win money playing poker I would never have started up with it about 5 years ago, be a waste of time. If Tuan Lee plays for money, I for one think he has his priorities in order.

Todd is probably telling the truth, which is why he's fat and has a hideous pony tail.

He wants money yes, but he said he would stop playing once he's made $10 million. I think that is a sign of lack of heart for the game. Don't you?
