Moneymaker Millionaire Finalists
Just a quick article about the finalists in the moneymaker millionaire. I found the only interesting profile on there was the one about KURN.

They distilled a lot of information to get that. While I am *from* NJ, it has been 33 years since the last time I lived there. If I win, maybe the taxman will look for me in the wrong State.
 I'll be sending them a photo today. After that...be afraid, be very afraid.

still 11 profiles unposted. I'm surprised at the age distribution so far.
Median 32.5, mean 34.1. that's at least 7 years older than I expected.

I like it, other than your lame Moneymaker ass kissing.
 Cool about the 5 languages (what are they?) and VERY cool about the motorcycle! |

English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese (the last two are pretty minimal, though) and of course, some Klingon.
I can also read Portuguese with some accuracy and I undestand a bit of spoken Italian, particularly the dialect of Naples, but not enough to survive there for long. I'll probably use some of my winnings to buy Rosetta Sone to improve my Japanese and maybe learn Arabic or Farsi.

My favorite stat is 3 wins, 0 2nds. I get anybody in this field HU and he's toast.

Three Observations
1) I can't believe 11 qualifiers still haven't submitted answers to the questionnaire. Do they not check their e-mail? The greedy part of me wonders if maybe some (all?) of them are under 18 and maybe I'll only have to beat 15 people for the million.
2) I love the comments in the full contact forum. I personally am looking forward to having a bunch of anonymous no-lifers post endlessly on what an idiot donkey I am to even have had the chance to win a million bucks, let alone actually win it. It must be the very definition of "laughing all the way to the bank." 3) man, that KURN guy looks like he belongs being locked up.

You look way tougher/scarier/less nerdy than I expected! Well done!
Anytime someone wins something like this, they will have HAD to get lucky - that much is true, and there really in no denying it. But, at the same time, they also have to have some pretty solid poker skills. I really don't think you can get this far without one or the other. Will the person who wins this be the most skilled player of everyone who competed in the MM freerolls? Of course not... but they will have earned a much deserved $1 million, so more power to them. Ignore all the haters. BTW, I love how people look at results from thepokerdb as gospel. Do people even realize that they are only listing WINNINGS - and from certain types of tourneys (ie, winning WPT/WSOP seats isn't included)? Not everyone plays 10 tourneys per day on Stars, you know. Some people play on other sites, or live, or cash games, and some of those "big winners" have spent well more than their winnings on buy ins and are actually overall losers. |
