Poker pro Johannes Strassmann missing

have so many great johannes stories. a few of my favorites:
-hes on the final table of EPT london (with peachy actually, he would remember this story). johannes raises i think with AQo from early position, guy shoves something like 8bb, johannes folds and everyone asks him if he realized how short the guy was. and in perfect johannes fashion with his cute german english accent he goes "oh my god then i made a huge mistake!"

-was in san remo italy in 2008 at the EPT tournament. was trying really hard to hit on this super cute dealer while she was waiting to be assigned to a table. she was having none of it and i figured she had a boyfriend or something. but then mid me fumbling around i see her eyes light up and i wondered if it was something i did, nope, i turn and see johannes next to me. she was really excited to see him. what a fucking pimp.

-my buddy who was constantly in a struggle with himself over whether he should have a girlfriend or not was complaining about his relationship issues and johannes came in with some advice "MICHAEL, THIZ IZ A NORMAL PROBLEM, YOU ZEE, MEN ARE HUNTERZ!" just amazing

what a great person he was, always positive and happy. havent seen him in a while, and we only talked 1-3 times a year for past couple years, but i will miss him

Never met him, but sounds like he was an amazing guy. Why do these tragedies seem more likely to happen to the best people... Selective memory, perhaps?
RIP Johannes

Sad story, I also remember Psier from BW days ;( Well, even if I thought it was a likely scenario, I will never understand how people drown, even under the influence of alcohol. Has he decided to swim? Did he lose his balance and fell into the river? It boggles my mind everytime I read about drowning.

what part is so hard to understand the drinking and losing balance part? and stumbling?

or the fact that he couldn't swim? and in your country everyone swims or something?

Wow thats sad. I dont
know him but its such a sad
thing to see young people go like that.

Never met the guy, sounds like he was a really stand up fellow. Shitty story

And @hiyafou, I almost died from a riptide 2 years ago at some Mexican beach. I'm a pretty good swimmer and an athlete. Was only half drunk. Like Daut said, water is a hell of a force man, you can't really comprehend it until it destroys you. It also boggled my mind until I experienced it.

Psier had a crazy disturbing avatar, didn't he? That's what I equate the name to.

Frig... Sad story.. I hope he had a hell of a time while he lived

edit: ya, if I was slammered and fell into that canal.... how the fuck would you get out? I doubt many of us could. It does look like a deathtrap to be honest.. frig.

if you dont get knocked out, you immediately take off all your clothes, swim until you find anything you can pull yourself out with and get out of there. of course, much easier said than done. very likely you hit your head on something and become disoriented or immediately swallow water upon landing and possible you might have to swim a while before finding a way out. also him being from germany, maybe he never learned to swim? i dont know what its like there.

Ive swum in the sea since I was a child in big waves and strong currents, I body suft waves and consider myself a strong sea swimmer and my GF was born in a beach city and can swim pretty well too, but still one day were drank and smoked a lot of weed and decided to go into a very dangerous beach and swam in the night and the current started pulling us in and the waves were massive and because of the weed we got exhausted very fast, she could barely keep herself afloat and she was starting to panic, I stood there trying to push her into a wave so it would drag her to the shore a few times until one big enough finally dragged her to the beach like a ragdoll and then I rode a wave to the shore myself but damn... but a few more minutes and we would have probably drowned.

So drunk, fully clothed, possibly hurt from the fall into that hard to scape canal it wouldnt surprise me at all he drowned, its way easier than you think

In Germany almost anyone can swim. We learn it in Elementary School.

Daut : You posted something abut Chat Brown somewhere, well he just died

I dont believe that it was an accident.

apparently he was high on mushrooms

This is so sad. I bet recreational drug users celebrate him as some kind of hero thinking its awesome to die when your high. People are so irresponsible .

wtf are you talking about?

Most drugs with a strong mental effect dont make you reckless (hallucinogens, THC etc) nor impair you physically, the ones that do make you reckless (cocaine based drugs) dont impair you physically and the ones that impair you physically dont make you reckless (Ketamine, opiates and strong hallucinogens)

one of the only drugs that impairs you physically that also make you act recklessly is the most widespread and commonly used drug in the world, alcohol.

All hallucinogens are dangerous. This poor guy probably thought he would get superpowers by jumping in the water. Alcohol on the other hand is not a drug and is safe to use.
