OrzyVibe 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Everytime I see the 2003 WSOP, its just so freakin' ridiculous how lucky Chris Moneymaker got. Obviously, the guy hasn't done squat since and he's been exposed as a lucky slob. I still laugh and shake my head at the run that guy went on... Link to post Share on other sites
chester97 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 yeah well, really, who cares. he caught cards, and got 2.5 million and a pokerstars endorsement for life from it. i'm sure he couldn't care less if people think he got lucky. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He got 2nd in WPT shooting stars in 2004. He has had 5 cashes at the wsop since 2003 including 10th in pot limit omaha. He isnt a world class player nor does he claim to be but he isnt a clueless donk. He did get extremely lucky in 2003 but last i checked luck is a big part of tournament poker. Thats why poker has got so huge if everyone believed they had no shot at winning a tournament, poker would be where it was 10 years ago Link to post Share on other sites
lucky_charmz 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 He also did make some nice plays. ie: bluffing Farha off top pair when he missed his flush draw. I agree that he did get very lucky on more than his fair share of hands, but lets not completely cut the guy up. Link to post Share on other sites

dreamcrusher28 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I can only hope to be that lucky. Stop raggin' the guy, seems OK to me. Link to post Share on other sites
OrzyVibe 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks for the info on Moneymaker...I had no idea that he'd had some limited success past that big WSOP win. Not bad at all. Link to post Share on other sites
ksean9999 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 at this point moneymaker is probably just as good as most of the tv players.i mean he's not john juanda or chris ferguson but how bad can he be? he's basically been playing poker and studying poker for over 2 years and playing with the best players. and it's not like he's dumb. the guy WAS an accountant. he was successful in the real world.yeah he was inexperienced when he won the wsop but i'm sure the guy plays a lot better than people think. i mean what do you think he chases every draw or plays any two suited cards or raises with any ace like an internet player?and he's had some decent results since the wsop that were posted already.

Jelly-Filled Ace 1 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 What tournament would you want to be incredibly lucky in ??Imagine winning a WSOP ME without some luck along the way, now that would be a thread worth posting. Link to post Share on other sites
tightmike 0 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Not that I'm some big Moneymaker fan, but if you want to see luck in winning a WSOP main event, go watch Ferguson and Cloutier battle it out. Jesus must have gotten his money in as a big dog at least 6 times and either split the pot or won the last one.Now that was one lucky mo fo.www.mikecunningham.blogspot.commcpoker.usmc Link to post Share on other sites
