I blame you for getting no work done....... 1. absolutely love some of the old footage 2. facinated by the 1st robusto 3. never imagined the vic to look like that 4. great BBC doc. 5.congrats on your seat, enjoyed your blog Posted by HENDRIK62
Haha... just some of my favourites from over the years plenty more to come.
& Thank you didnt expect it in a million years will be great to meet the community!
Another great Docuentary made fairly recently.... a must watch. Filmmakers follow a new generation of Internet poker professionals during the meteoric rise and sudden crash of the multibillion dollar online poker industry during the 2000s. Unfortunately this movie costs $3.95 to watch and I dont intend on breaking copyright laws You can get a taster from youtube including the isildur fairytale..... brilliantly put together and very proffesional documentary. Documentary 2 is one of a Kind: the rise of fall of Stu Ungar..... 1 word..... incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pt2AOIz1wk Posted by Itsover4u
Just to echo what the others have said, great thread.
First seen this a few months back, as you say just incredible.
Start with a light hearted classic - Made by the gentlemen who made 2 months two million if you have not seen this short animated series it is well worth a watch.
Thanks for bumping this thread missed it first time round. Watched the first couple of the below, very interesting for sure. Noticed there were a number of more recent episodes than when posted too, so plenty to look forward to.
"These guys were full tilt crushers and interesting to hear them talk of just sitting around and waiting for Gus Hansen"
Does anyone know (roughly) just how much money Gus Hansen lost in total?
It's always struck me as nothing short of bizarre that the poker media big up the likes of Gus Hansen & Mike Matusow (& many others) when in fact both are monster losers.
@Tikay10 Over 20 mil lost online - he was up about 4 million at a point and even rallied back from -$10,000,000 to almost even again before the epic downswing - they were queuing up to play him.
Appears to be a very good businessman however and plays in live games that make the high stakes online games look tiny so who knows how much he is worth?
Probably gets a free pass into all the juicy Macau games and was a world class backgammon player where he has won a lot of money.

His name on full tilt poker - Water Boat.
Honestly some of the funniest videos I have ever watched.
@ItsOver4U wins the (fictional) Post of the Week Award for those.
So, so good.
They've "aged" well too.
Lovely stuff Danny, thank you.
@Tikay10 appreciate the fictional award haha
