Dan Druff: "there's no question that MDawg has been an obnoxious braggart, and has rubbed a ton of people the wrong way. There's something missing from his stories. Either they're fabricated, grossly exaggerated, or largely incomplete".
Todd came up in poker on the internet. He has never been much of a live player. Mickey was actually there. Mickey would know more than any of us. Correct me if I am wrong, Todd. Also this stuff occurred before Todd found internet poker anyway. Get a grip with reality man.
I met Mickey and talked to him. We exchanged our Johnny Chan stories. He told me the drink pouring story after I told him something. You are some goofball who reneges on all sorts of things. One of them going on a radio show. You stiff some orphanage of $100 charity. (Gee you must be broke) Why would it make any sense for me to believe you more than him? You've said before you know almost nothing about the poker world.
You're such a goof. I'm sure in circles of non-gamblers or certain types of gamblers people could listen to you and think 'oh man that guy was cool'. Even I would find many of your stories interesting. Yet for actual factual anything you've fell on your face repeatedly.
Funnily enough you almost never tell stories. ALl you do it try to brag because in the end you are more tout than gambler.
My impression of Mickey's stories involving Unger seem more on target with what I understood the situation to be but I'm not going to make any claims one way or another because I really don't know.
Bro you know nothing about the poker world. Who cares what Negreanu said at one point. Nice guy and all but geez you're losing it. Something I said must have hit way to close to home.
Negreanu. Birds with teeth? huh. lol. It took me a bit. I remember kid poker from RGP. I used to interact with him on usenet. See, here I can do the same thing.
Thats all you can do is pull up little quotes from people you've read because you know so little.
I can promise you there are tons of guys who are up on those $100 tourneys I accused you of playing. Negreanu is likely quite wrong but it is not near as easy as it seems given the way taxes work and traveling expenses. There is a huge difference between someone who plays tournaments at the local casino vs someone traveling around playing 10ks. I am sure there are plenty of +EV in both category but it is hard to realize the EV in the latter.
The reason an AP wouldn't play them is just because the hourly sucks. THat requires an EV calculation and such. The sort of thing you dismiss. So why even have this conversation?
Is this another one of your attempts at being funny?
Dan Druff can speak for himself, but his Wikipedia page says the following...
"Witteles is primarily a cash game player."

First, it wasn't Unger's 2nd main event win, it was his 3rd.
2nd, it was played outside. There was no tent as you can obviously see in the video.
It looks like your "facts" on Unger are a little shaky.
PS: You spent more time in Binions than me. I spent more time in the poker world than you.

Unger was dead by 1998. Todd is new generation. He wasn’t around in the 90’s.
I spent hundreds more hours in the Binions poker games than you.
I drank about 1 day a month. Never drank in the casinos. In downtown Vegas you’d have to go down to the Atomic to see me drunk.
Enjoying your night cap?

And? I also didn't say he didn't play live poker. I said he "came up playing online poker". See which he says .. you weren't even aware of the distinction and you thought "cash poker" meant live. You have not one clue about any of this.
You did apparently go back to read twitter threads from last year trying to prove something.
I understand perfectly well he has also played plenty of live poker including high limit section at bellagio and a decent amount at commerce. That doesn't meant he came up doing that.
I might possibly be wrong but nothing you've said has demonstrated otherwise and you don't even under the basics of what you're referencing. You're just some 80+ year old dunce living out his last days trying to be another Singer. There isn't one person on this forum who will say a positive thing about you unless they do it to troll me specifically. lol
Todd was around in the very very early days of online poker. It is very possible/likely he played before that. IIRC he played on the very first site - Planet Poker.
He was not part of the days of Unger's world and all that but again - I might be wrong but I won't be as wrong as Redietz and the dunce.
Has Ozzy been officially declared dead? Posters do abandon Websites for personal reasons and are presumed dead and come back posting like three years later. Hell, I abandoned a Celebrity's Website for three years after losing interest in him and came back posting VERY sparingly. For all we know, Ozzy could still be alive and just got sick of the drama that VCT is. You never know.
Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanently banned.

I am glad to get my full posting rights back!Thank you Dan!
What made Unger famous was his performance compared to his peers in 30 tournaments of his period in which the buy-in was either 5K or 10K.
Here's the breakdown of the winners of those tournaments as I remember it. I think I got this from Dalla's book:
16 players won 1 tournament each
Johnny Chan won 2 tournaments
Doyle Brunson won 2 tournaments
Stu Unger won 10 of the 30 tournaments.
That's what made him respected by his peers. They were in awe of his ability in tournaments.
