This harkens back to a 'Rampage' fad from last year, where the notion was to come in short stacked, play very aggro, get out with a profit and move up a level. I believe NO ONE profited from that challenge. I also believe it may have been the aggro nature of that particular challenge.
It also reminds me of the last time I played a live ring game in a casino here in L.A. Small out of the way casino in the early 90's or so.
A guy who could have been Freddie Deebs or Sammy Farha (my mind can picture either), had a wad of 20's in his shirt pocket, while I had about $100 in chips in front of me, and was as big a fish as even I can now imagine.
It was a NL game, and every hand he could he would isolate me, max out his 20 bucks worth of chips, and put the screws to me. If he lost, in a heartbeat there was another 20 on the table, I could not out bet him, for his shirt was bulging with cash.
In essence I got rampaged, i.e. shortstacked to death.
