As many of you know, I like poker. Two things I enjoy that I don't think many people enjoy are watching online tourneys and following the big tourneys through updates.
I've watched Ozzy87 in a few tournaments on ub. If you watch a lot of online tourneys, you can kinda tell who "has" it and who has just gotten lucky. My impression was that Ozzy87 was a great player. Then, I found out on pocketfives (a great site) that he had just turned 18. Wow. Now, he's the shortstack going into the TV final table down at Atlantis on Tuesday. He's guaranteed almost 200k, with 1st paying over 1.3 mil.
First, I would like to have the roll to play full time. I honestly think I have what it takes to do well. Maybe I'm delusional.
Second, an 18 year old playing this well is amazing to me. I may have said this before, but I don't know what would have happened if the poker craze had happened 10-15 years ago. On some levels, I think I'd be rich now. On other levels, I don't know if I could have handled myself at that age.
I'll definitely be logging in and trying to watch this guy on Tuesday. I hope he does well enough to stick around so he's not just on TV for his one bustout hand. He's shortstacked enough that he'll need some luck. |
