Sunday was a big day for me on Full Tilt. I hosted the longest Pro Chat ever conducted on Full Tilt, 10 hours from the moment I answered the first comment to the time I entered my response to the 351st comment. My transcript of the chat runs 27,000 words (mostly mine) – which is one-third the length of THE PROFESSOR, THE BANKER, AND THE SUICIDE KING.

I will be updating this post throughout the day as I try to host a Pro Chat for 10 hours and break Craig Marquis’s Pro Chat record.

This Sunday, August 15 at 1400 ET, I am hosting FTOPS Event #32. It’s a biggie: $240 + $16 NLHE-6max-KO, with a $1,000,000 Guarantee, with first prize guaranteed at over $191,000. I will also be hosting a pro chat at that time.
I have decided the occasion is right for me to try and set a Full Tilt Poker record.

Starting this weekend, I’ll be posting several entries that share stories of my six-year relationships with Ted Forrest and Mike Matusow. The unifying feature of this stories is how, for me, the events at the end of their historic $2 million weight-loss proposition bet, were deja vu. It was almost as if this unique and unscripted drama had actually been played out, in pieces, for my private amusement over the past several years.
But before I share these stories – all of which I found interest, surreal, and/or humorous – I want to explain why I’m devoting so much attention to this story. For that matter, I want to shed light on why we all seem to care.

Scott Matusow, Mike’s brother, is mad at me. He made a nasty comment to one of my blogs about the evening that concluded the $2 million bet between his brother and Ted Forrest. To make sure that he receives the proper exposure for his criticism, I’m reposting it here, so it won’t be buried on a tw0-weeks old blog. I am also sharing my response with you.
This was what Scott Matusow said:

When I play on Full Tilt, I find myself occasionally deal with (losing) players claiming the site is rigged: “I’ve lost three times today with aces.” “I saw you suck out twice in ten hands in the Ferguson last night Craig.” Etc. Etc. Etc. After spending more than three years demanding – and never receiving – documentation, I may have found a reason to agree with them.

Ted Forrest gave credit to his success at the end to the assistance of “Karate Mike” Santoro, who supervised his training at the end of the weight-loss prop bet with Mike Matusow. Apparently noticing some critical comments of Ted, especially in the post initially announcing that Forrest won the prop bet with Matusow, Santoro left a comment. To further the debate on the subject, in addition to appearing as a comment, here is what he wrote:
