It's Still Early But...

I think the Fish has a legitimate chance at winning this thing.

He's 11th in chips after day 2. He's had three lucky hands - one where he flopped a flush against an AA/nut flush draw, one where he made a straight and his opponent folded, and one where he had KK vs AQ on a Q high flop. Other than that he's earned the chips - either by bluffing or inducing bluffs and making strong calls. He's gone up in chips in every level but one.

When I talk to him during breaks he's saying some pretty amazing stuff. Space-age. Ahead of the curve. Thinking about the game more deeply than I ever have. And he's completely fearless. I'm not sure he can be stopped right now by anything other than a bad beat or a cold deck.

Even if this one doesn't work out, it won't be long until he makes a major breakthrough. Hopefully talking to him and being around him will elevate my game too.
