Cada's gotten lucky, but isn't playing as bad as Moon by far. Cada was underdog shortstacked and had to somewhat try to double up on decent hands and did get lucky. Moon, however, is someone you'll probably never see go far again in a big tourny...one hit wonder like Jamie Gold...kinda like hitting the lottery. ESPN is pretty much portraying him like the donk he is. Very likeable person, but not really a winning poker player although i guess u could say he is now lol.


Nothing like the lottery to make it that far. I think he choked.. well can't use that word seeing as he is an amateur...

I think he pressed wrong...

But a donk? Lottery winner? I disagree... Fundamentally sound and lucky up until he started reading players wrong.

JMO.

Moon handled the TV/exposure well not having an email nor credit card.

A very salt of the earth type guy.

I agree he's fundametally sound in a way...maybe before this tourny a break even player or there abouts, but I consider even that donk city, so that's just me, but justs my opinion.

It's a discussion and I invite it. I'm up playing in person but down online...

So I would be a fish by your standard. :shrug:

I dunno... Moon faltered in the end.

By that comment I mean, I wouldn't put myself at Moons level so a donk for Moon.

I don't agree completely...

Boneheaded calls...

well, thing is, u only see the hands espn shows and don't see the whole picture on playing styles and everything else, so that's what I base some of the stuff i'm saying. Personally, I'm a heads up tourny guy and can relate to Cada's aggressive style heads up...just saying.

No I agree completely... This 87 J9 is a great example...

I thought Cada was a gracious winner, complemented Moon and shook his hand afterward even after his friends were mobbing him. :clap:
