    Next pay jump is massive :/

    HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE MAX!

    EDIT: Nvm, my dyslexia kicked in. Thought next prize was $3.938M, and I was wondering how this payjump could be $1.3M and the one after that could only be 500k lol.

    No, when it hits 3 handed. They were talking about that earlier.

    I went to a Wu-Tang concert with Max. (It was a long time ago and I got hammered, but pretty sure it was both Steinbergs, but could possibly have only been Danny, but obviously that's just as big of a brag.)

    Pretty sure I win.

    Oops.

    They just said that it ends when it's down to 3-handed.

    Sorry 'bout that.

    Well done person I don't know but pretend to my IRL mates I sort of do.

    Some mug took 2/1 to allow me to get away from my bet when it was starting to look grim...



    Now I want the lunatic to get HU so I can palm that bet off a shorter odds.

    Nice job, Max. Well played. FTR loves you.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    All of my irl friends and many poker players at the local B&M think I'm vg online friends with Max.

    Truth is, I think I just read a few of his ftr posts many years ago.

    Still though, a great time to name drop! Thanks Max!

    Oh yeah. There was very little to criticize about Max's play. If anything, he was playing pretty tight, and made some folds that were not perfect play, given perfect information. From his POV, though, I'm sure they were marginal at best against Villain's range.

    I loved Max's interview with Kara Scott on the final day of the final table.

    The following is a paraphrased representation of said interview:

    Kara: What's it like being Max Steinberg?
    Max: It's pretty fun. I partied last night. What? I mean, right?
    Kera: How will the win impact you as a person?
    Max: I tried partying pretty hard for the past 24 hours, and it seems to have gone well for me.
    Kera: Do you have any advice for the players still in the game
    Max: [Speaks eloquently about each players situation and goals and what they should do to accomplish them.]
    Kera: What does your future hold?
    Max: OMG, I'm so wasted right now.

    I think the fold of AJo on the button vs. Blum's BB 3-bet was meh given Blum was 3-betting all his blockers. But it seemed like he was pretty card dead.

    Yeah. That fold, in particular, was in my mind when I posted the above.

    Max is still seriously my hero though. Seems like a really classy and smart dude.

    I have met McKeehen and I think he's a decent kid, just slightly socially awkward. Has an ego but who wouldn't when you're that smart and that great a player. I honestly didn't bet on Max because McKeehen had such a huge lead and knows how to close the deal, it was very clear that he wasn't going to spew off massive chips in marginal spots, I think he played the final 2 tables perfectly. Running purer than pure doesn't hurt either.

    Seriously though, those suits.

    Max was easily the most pleasing to the eye. I could go gay for Max.






    Nah.
