Just few days ago a sad news broke out in the poker world: one of the highest rated online tournament players, Chad 'lilholdem954' Batista, has passed away aged 35.

Chad 'lilholdem954' Batista, also known online under his second screenname 'M8kingmoves', was the highest rated online tournament player from August 2007 until July 2008. In 2013 he scored his highest win during the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars for $264,408 (3rd place finish in a $2,100 buy-in No Limit Hold'em).
Batista had also decent scores in the live poker, where he came close to earning around $1 million, with the biggest score being WSOP Circuit Caesars Indiana Championship win in 2006 for $262,002.

Batista has been fighting with alcoholism and liver problems over many years, but the reason of his death is still unknown - friends informed the press that he "died suddenly with his family surrounding him".

you think you need to be a monk to play poker?

first of all most poker player have gambling issue.
think they are the smartest posting bull shit hand history and speaking about probability while they couldn t afford to rent a house.by themself...
most of pro are pathetic loser sharing buying with other
so knowing that..it s really convenient to fucking drink and play poker cause the reality suck..
fuck the idea of beeing pro.. it s a total bullshit
oh yeah full tilt pro that was so amazing ..
and the pro were paid while we all get fucked with our own money....

lol it's okay Daniel we all know you're better than stu ungar, please just let this thread be for people to leave their respects. alcoholism is a serious illness.

It seems to be not very profitable in the long run to play those kind of hands. - Gus Hansen

RIP

He seemed to be a very well liked guy from the people who actually met him in person, unlike how he came off to many online

online bob is actually a pretty smart person, not at all like the creepy fucker that sits in the sofa telling me he does nasty shit to me when im asleep - pinball
