OMG ... seriously. Watch the movie and let's discuss here.

I don't want to ruin anything but O - M - G so many disturbing things in here.

LOL... the bit about sex... classic.

yeah the sex part wow, I really dont have words for the rest i mean knitting? And the freak out thing? But the ending was nice....

i just realized i passed 7k wohhooooo!

that is flat out freakin weird, creepy, disturbing, and i dont know what else. fak!

Yea... the ending was a bit... disturbing.

But, that's just the reality of this hobby, though... there are a lot of sick people who play poker. I think one could find a correlation highly intelligent people and various forms of mental illness/disorders and poker addicts.

Interesting watch. Thanks for posting this.

Yes, very interesting! This insomniac thanks you. I didn't actually find it disturbing at all. Smart guy, has some problems but is building a life for himself. The little fluffy dog is super cute.

Awesome Post

Because he's 6'7" and gangly as all get out. Awesome line.

Very well done and I too was undisturbed. Thanks for the link.

Actually I really enjoyed that Was pretty interesting

See, to many hours of online poker will fry your brain, lol.

Great post though, was very interesting.

why would you be disturbed by this ?
we are all freaks baby we play cards for moniebz

good watch

Man after watching that now I know why I am the way I am .
Classic.....
Especially love the clip with all the empty cigarette packs and butts around on the floor.

Actually, that was the only part I found strange. Why don't they use ashtrays ?
Why are they ****ing up their carpet

ok things i found disturbing (if I can remember them all):

1. This guy is a slob. Did you see his desk? WTF was with the cigs and trash on the floor???

2. His gf seemed nice but kinda random. The whole knitting thing was really lol for me ... i mean, i thought 65+ grandmothers knitted.

3. Was really put off by the whole "I can send my kids to college. I don't think I need to do anything to benefit society or fellow americans." Seems like a selfish prick who doesn't care about other people.

4. Obv things got "scary" and some of his behavior explained when the whole bi-polar thing was explained. I'm definitely glad he got the help he needed.

5. WTF was up with that whole "group buddy poker scene" where they are all in some apartment with their laptops watching each other play, drinking, etc. My main problem is with DJ Sensei (I *was* a fan lol) who was straight up shirtless and drinking. Why on EARTH would you look like that knowing a movie was being made!? And doesn't this seem like the worst party poker ever?

6. Good ending, glad he proposed and also is actually "helping society" like he said he wouldn't do with the high school math kids.

His desk was tidy compared to Phil Galfond.

yeah I was loling at what random things where on phils desk. Although that is where they live.

I didn't like how they stereotyped poker players as different and not being able to socialize and only getting along with ppl on the internet. Other than that it was interesting, and like I said good ending and hope.

No kidding! I actually paused the movie to see all the crap on his desk, which included deodorant. I guess nothing makes you sweat like online poker.

plus acne oxy pads for all the stress ldo!

yeah this is the only part i thought was a little off because although some people are like that, i know im not and most of you regs here also have lifes outside of this forum and if anyone reading this doesnt then i suggest get out there and live life because its unhealthy not to

but it was a good lil film and well done.

any word on any others like this Ice?

Man, I was kinda disappointed with this video after reading the comments about "disturbing" scenes. Just a documentary of an online pro.

P.S. That poker party poker was really lame!

NO WAY HE WAS A 22 year old virgin would not of guessed that ROFLMAO.

I would like to see vanessa selbst with out a shirt to see if she truly is a girl still not sure about that.

WOW you just got to watch i thought at first that I would turn it off after 5 minutes but I watched it all.

I tried watching this, but only made it about 5 minutes before that guy's voice bored me to death.

I thought this was actually amazing and I was engrossed from the start. Really nice documentary. Very eye opening.

How was this disturbing? Obvioiusly he isn't a perfectly normal person but then who is? Thought the start with the Simpsons stuff was kinda funny given that he's 24 and all but who am I to question what someone wants to do with their own life?


umm he's doing what like 90% of the American population (the ones who can find jobs now) are doing. Sure there are doctors and teachers out there but most people are not directly benefitting anyone and even out of the doctors especially a lot of them are just doing it for themselves/their families and any help they give others is pure bonus. For every Zeebo there are thousands working dead end jobs that serve no purpose but to make the boss more money yet it pays the bills and supports a family. What's wrong with that? Sure his wording was a bit off and if you couldn't tell by the rest of the movie he's not exactly the most well-spoken, but you can understand what he's saying and it's the same attitude most people have towards work, only he actually enjoys his.

It wasn't a scene or a party poker at all, iirc it was footage from the msnl house in Vegas a few years ago. They didn't know it was going to be on a movie they just lived like they normally did that summer and apparently let a camera crew film a little of it. The point is to convey reality, so if he normally is around the house drinking without a shirt why should he change for a documentary?

I definitely agree and especially if he's not enjoying poker as much helping kids with math will probably be very fullfilling to him.

I watched this a couple weeks ago but never posted my thoughts. I think that while this is a description of some people, the vast majority of players are nothing like this and I think it sort of gives poker players a bad rep (although I think mostly poker players will watch this anyway). Despite that, it's an interesting story and take on it.

I think the thing to realize it wasn't poker that destroyed his life, it was addiction. Too much of anything can ruin your life, and he just had a very addictive personality. Better that he got into poker and therefore had the money to get through therapy than if he had gotten into drugs and died imo.

Also, what the F was that girl thinking? "As long as he pays the rent every month I don't want to know how much he's making"??? See how that treats you when 30 years from now you realize he hasn't saved up anything and has barely been squeaking by. She's lucky he was actually making a lot of money.

I thought the video was great, thx for posting it. Its insane, how he lost 95k in one day and won over 60k in a other day. Crazy to believe that he could lose that much money in one day and still have made over 2 mil since he stared, just amazing. The vid has a nice ending, hope everything goes well for that family.

Why do some of you think that the guy is prick? The truth is ALOT of people don't like to be in social settings very much. Most of the time they're just called "SHY".
Maybe if more people cared a little more about their OWN family and lives instead of sticking their nose everywhere else, their lives might be a little happier.
And just for the record I couldn't give 2 shits about most people that I run into any given day, but I never and will never have to be asked to help my family or VERY few friends any time they need it.

Awesome video. I liked the way they produced the film and the way his story was told. Really well done from what I was expecting.

Disturbing? No, not really. Honestly it was more sad than disturbing, and more interesting than sad. I'm glad that guy has that girlfriend, because I'm not sure who the hell else was gonna take care of him.

There are a lot of different people out there. Sure he's at one extreme, but it's cool to see he found a place to fit in. I'm sure he easily could have ended up shuffling down the streets, mumbling conspiracy theories to himself, and rummaging through trash cans for food or treasure maps. He could have ended up in a straight jacket for life, or god know's what else. All which would have actually been a lot more disturbing to me.

I enjoyed it....and WOW, those online pros in that house were A LOT different than what the average citizen would stereotype a top professional poker player as.

P.S. Ice, any links to other video's like this?

Interesting video. This guy is a very good poker played but has some negative features too. But thats cool. We are not the same.

argg cant watch it havent got no sound on my computer

Yea not so sure bout the disturbing part, the guy was just anti-social

Overall great watch

he needs 2 make a ankour out of his computer,then leave the house n get a life.to each his own....
