I'm a fan of his play. Like you stated he often makes some really lose calls and gets it right for the majority but I'm not a fan of his table talk. Infact, I cringe at him sometimes in all honesty. I find him overly arrogant and a not very likeable person.
In my opinion, I am a huge fan of his play. He takes his time with each tough decision, able to make tough calls with mediocre pairs, and his table talk can tilt you without you even knowing or feeling it.
You Sir have just made my dayAs a fat chinchilla beginning their poker journey at the age of 30 I am a huge fan of Cary Katz's play since he has achieved 98% of his success/winnings between the ripe old age of 43-49 which is inspiring for both young and middle aged players. It would be more inspirational though if he were fat because I am a fat chinchilla. But I guess I have Scott Seiver, Chris Moneymaker, and Greg "Fossilman" Raymer for that. Anyone know any other good fatties I can look to for inspiration? Sigh...There's not many, I better get busy on my hamster wheel :frown:.
Agree with dgellitson and TheDude6622- Cary's game has definitely improved and most seem unaware how much he has actually won (I believe now 20m plus) which surely indicates something. That said he can afford to play...
…and that is where I have always surmised (rightly or wrongly) his nasty demeanor comes from- perhaps a defensiveness about his wealth and its origins. And, on this point it is remarkable how infrequently the matter is touched upon within the poker community. Yes, he's the banker of Poker Go, but...
Most should know his father's fortune started in student loan companies, a somewhat predatory practice no matter where you stand on the political spectrum. Like father like son, Cary went into the business, expanded and then branched out, to then own one of the biggest student loan companies in the US.
Again, politics aside, I find the idea of anyone playing high rollers on the backs of students loans a little tasteless to say the least. It is what it is, but to pose Cary Catz is not the most pleasant fella might not be too far off the mark.

Hamster wheels are a great way to become a skinny chinchilla!
