If you think shittard is a millionaire you need your head examined. It isn’t at all believable or true. Let me explain (and remember, I’m a “banker”)
#1. He claims to have won “more than a million” playing poker in his 30’s. Any gambling winnings are taxable at the federal and state level
#2 After winning this million he said he paid off his debts (against the advice of his financial advisor)
#3 After winning this million, paying the taxes (at least 28%) and paying off debt he then increased his net worth to more than $2 million with his “financial moves”
Per those facts above, he would have had to take approximately $500,000 and turned it into greater than $2 million with his savvy investments. The odds of doing that are below .001%. I know my financial advisor can’t do that and there are people who make their living making money off of money who aren’t capable of such things.
It is not possible that he won a large sum of money, paid of the debts and more than tripled it and never has to work again. The math doesn’t work. I’d add, he also is the only poker millionaire in the history of the world who won all this money playing poker then quit. Additionally, it is a total coincidence that he is such a good (or lucky) poker player, has to never worry about money again, yet won’t play in a $300 RX poker tournament. The place he hangs out at all day every day. I’m sure this is just some random bad fact that reflects poorly on shittard. Note that posters have been pointing out that he doesn’t play at RX tournaments for almost 3 years now. This rich millionaire who doesn’t have to work and only has to risk $300 responds with “people cheat online!” as if that mitigates this at all.
Further, the idea that he is married is just as preposterous. I don’t know any married man who would be able to post on this site (he’s been posting non-stop since 11am today) so much yet have his wife ignore it. Keep in mind he’s claimed that his wife is a teacher and since she is a teacher school is out for summer break. I guess he just can’t put the computer down and posting non-stop while she sits there telling him how in-shape, rich and tough he is. Another fact here is that he spent most of Saturday on this site and 2 weekends in a row was posting from after 9pm until after midnight (and he dutifully logged back in here yesterday morning just past 8am after making his last post at 12:19am). Which I’m sure is just another example of this exciting millionaire life he leads with his wife.
Just as he isn’t a millionaire (he will net worth bet you in a second, pal!) and isn’t married, he isn’t tough, he doesn’t have season tickets and he isn’t the age he is claiming to be. It is all a lie, every bit of it. And anyone with a brain can see he is just a dumb little boy troll telling tale tales on the Internet (the same as another poster he follows around all day).
It isn't like he even says he is that good at poker. All he said was he luckboxed a few big tourney's, that really isn't very far fetched.
Other than being extremely lucky, it isn't even really all that impressive. He isn't really saying he made $ by being skillful or savvy. Just that he went on an incredible hot streak and now he is set.
Maybe he won like 1.2ish around 08-09 and invested at the nadir of the market circa early '09 and now has close to 2 (also maybe he had some $ before the poker $, etc)
Would that be extremely fortunate timing wise? Yeah but it does happen.
Also him quitting poker after the big scores is perfectly reasonable because again, he never said he was that good.
