Paul Wasicka
Chris Melford
when he started playing, he was making between $1000-3000 a day
playing $10-20 Hold 'Em. Even if he was playing 12 hours a day he
would be having to average four big bets an hour to meet the minimum
claim of $1000 a day. He additionally claimed that he was winning
approximately 9 out of 10 of his sessions. Does anyone else find this
almost impossible to believe? I do.

I believe Wasicka was an Internet player. More tables, more hands.

I'm assuming no such thing.
I am concluding he's an idiot and thinks you are also.

He's a nobody who took second in some obscure tournament, after
some schlub named Allen donked off his stack in third and some
retard named Jamie took it down.

It's not really lying so much as it is a form of self-deception.
You see the same thing with waitresses, strippers, used car salesmen, and other
residents of trailer parks. When you ask them how much they make on an average
day they'll tend to answer with an approximation of an average good day, not an
average day. It's just the way they think.
Fuzzy brained people just don't have many rational thoughts. They don't really
make stuff up as much as it is they just dont understand the question.

Don't worry, you aren't missing much. I mean, what has he done since?
Hmmm.
He won the national heads up championship this year.
Oh. And he took 4th in the WPT L.A. poker classic a couple months ago.
And 12th in Aussie Millions a month before that.
And 24th in in the WPT 5-Star classic.
But other than THAT... wait, he seems to be pretty fuckin' good! :)

Yeah, only runnerup in WSOP Main Event for 6 mil and National Head Up
champion...why would you have heard of him. Of course looking at the depth of
your reply, could I expect anything else?

You mean, like by not only responding, but proclaiming that you're "pretty
sure" that someone you know nothing about is full of shit?

Gary is right. For example, look at the way he deceives himself about
his non-existent academic credentials and his non-existent poker
ability, even when the rest of the world can see what a useless, self-
important idiot he is.
FellKnight
He gave a similar interview in Bluff. He was talking about multitabling
10/20 NL, where his claims are more believeable.

The facts are that the language he used is the kind of language people use when
they are talking about a typical good days results, not when they are talking
about average results or even results of a typical day.

It might be true, but it's not what he said. A range of one to three does not
equal an average of two. In fact an average of two is more likely to have come
from a range of minus one to ten than a range of one to three.
Do you know what a flame is?

No, the facts are that people, including the OP, thought he was
talking about Limit, not No Limit. The OP said 4 BB an hour, and went
on how that's insane, blah blah... That's a Limit calculation. 4 bb
(in No limit, not BB limit) an hour is not only achievable in No
Limit, but unless I was making that much or more, I wouldn't even risk
those kinds of swings!
Fell's little factoid takes this whole thread and puts it in the
shitter. It goes from 'WTF' to 'ho hum'.

The fact the guy claimed to make between $1000-$3000 a day playing
10/20 pretty much nails it down.

How big do you think the pots get in most $10/$20 NL games?

He posted before he read the rest of the thread, I assume.
WuzYoungOnceToo
Almost always a mistake.
sqidbait
He was also on High Stakes Poker, and I believe that he
walked away a with a decent chunk of cash.
I wish I remember the exact details of a hand he played on
the show, but it went something like this: early position,
he's dealt aces, and he limps. Sadly, there are multi
limpers after him, and it goes to the flop. Someone bets,
and with people to go, the aces get tossed.
Don't you hate it when that happens? lol!
