Every time I see him play on TV he plays weird. he's terrible but allllll the fish are TERRIFIED of him. for example i was playing with him in some bellagio 5k small tournament, and he was running like 50/40 raising every hand, then he opens J3cc utg (showed me his hand after it's over, i'm to his left) and gets 2 callers, including a woman in the bb. flop Q62 she checks, grinder bets, other guy folds, she calls. turn 7 and she check/folds AA face-up, and says, "i dunno i'm just so scared to play a pot with you. i just don't even wanna continue with aces" and everyone else at the table just nods like "yeah that's understandable" and he wins like 7 out of 9 pots played all day LOL that's so hilarious. why do you think the fish are scared of him? Is he an intimidating type of guy, his aggressive style of play against them, or just the fact that he's a known poker pro?

purely because he's been on tv a bunch of times

yeah damn stupid random fish logic, GLGL Myth

I believe the Grinder is smart in that he takes advantage of his image/pro status and exploits it. He also obviously has an awesome understand of how tourney donks play.

no grinder just raises every hand and everyone lets him win every pot despite him running at like 89/76/inf/inf/inf at 10-handed

literally no matter what you do, except sitting out, is HUGELY profitable w grinder's image

impossible to fail as him

Is that the case with any tv pro?

yeah just about

sounds like snowball effect, then people see how many chips he has and it just adds to the intimidation. win/win/win/win.

$8.6m in tournament winnings just from being intimidating?

I wouldnt wanna bump onions with this guy, sounds like he could chew me up and take my whole bankroll.

lol, cole gives no credit where no credit is deserved
