Myth raping Day 1A of the ME?!

Soo, I'm browsing the web from work as I do every morning and while going through the main event updates from yesterday, I take a look at the chip counts and see a familiar name up top:

1 James Mitchell 241,075
2 Corwin Cole 228,200
3 Dwyen Ringbauer 191,125
4 Michael Mizrachi 142,650
5 Felix Bleiker 136,300

Afaik, that is LP's very own Myth, and players in the ME start with 30k chips, which means he has been absolutely fucking crushing day 1! GJ to him and let's hope he keeps running good and playing good.

Crush it one timeeee!

cool! gogogo

sick

win plz

How does the Grinder always have so many chips in tournaments. Every time I see him play on TV he plays weird.

day 1 curse and jinx thread

gg myth

i was waiting for someone to post this.

close thread before its too late

So this is the FIRST day of play and it only has 1,100 entries? And there's four 'Day 1s' so can we expect at most 5,000 players?

Seems like it took a huge ass drop from last year.

usually first day is the one with less entries
im sure day c or d will get have 2k entries, so i'd expect something aroudn 6k players

Sick jinx...

Sick! Look cool for the camera!

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

haha

lol yea thats understandable

GL myth! take it down!

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?

Wow lol sickest jinx ever!

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

byrne you now in new zealand? what's your story?

wut, sick. hopefully not on some jinxing shit now.
