Some guy who doesn't play BW asked me just the other day if I knew Elky and Rekrul, apparently he knew them just through following poker and that they started out playing BW.

That's fucking cool! I wonder if it is possible to become a decent poker player without being good at SC because I never hear from noobs making money with poker.


I am pretty sure most professional poker players have never played starcraft



Still the connection with Good at SC ---> Good at poker is deff sexy

Honestly, Idra would scare the shit out of me if we were playing poker. I could see him having memorized all of the odds for every situation, not to mention the fear of losing to him and being told how much I suck (aka the truth).

hahaha yeha Idra and phil hellmuth do have the same personalities. Imagine someone calling a Idra's raise with Q 10 off-suit and lucking a straight on the turn or river. He would go crazy.

Yeah, I would think he would of mentioned Rekrul considering the similar lifestyles they both went through.

(Even though Rek's SC progaming days were short lived)

oh wow I didn't even know he had a bracelet.

Personally I was surprised he didnt mention Ivan Demidov, who is just ridiculously good at poker
But I'm guessing both Demidov and Rekrul aren't sponsored by Pokerstars?
