#612 – Tournament Star Contest – Observations and Exceprts, Part II – My Favorite Entry

I honestly could not give this entry the prize, even by my subjective standards. Chris L. wrote:

My Poker Guru?

Why, Michael Craig of course.

Who else in the poker world has managed to distill more information and experience from more players?

He may never have won a premiere tournament, and certainly has no bracelets [he could have said "no bracelets YET"] … but he is hungry. Michkey Goldmill in Rocky HUNGRY.

Compensation?

An even split seems appropriate.

I know Chris was going for the joke, but c’mon, you could do worse, right? I learned from many of the players most commonly chosen by entrants and, if he hadn’t gone overboard proposing an even split, part of my merit would have been that you could get me cheaper than those other guys. And maybe if you leaned on me, I’d call in my non-existent favors and see if they’d toss in a free advice.
