Message: [QUOTE="Alizona, post: 5940584, member: 444115"] If you look at my post above, I referenced a tweet Chris made on January 5, I posted the link to it... he won a TON of money, well over 100K, in a stretch of just 10 tournaments. I believe this is what made him change his mind. I don't have any proof, I'm simply putting the puzzle pieces together. In the tweet, Chris thanks fellow poker pro Faraz Jaka, and right below the tweet is a reply from Faraz. He says that he's been working with Chris on his poker game, and is quite happy to see the immediate results in Chris's game. 100K is a lot of dough even for a WSOP Main Event champ!!! It's been 17 years since that win, after all... I would imagine that 10-tournament run is his best string of cashes in many years, and it had to encourage him and lift his spirits and get his juices flowing again, know what I mean??!! :D So that's my take. Sure, he could have had this planned all along, but as you point out, he didn't indicate it in his "goodbye, its been fun" video... knowing Chris just the little bit that I know him, from playing on the Poker Stars play chip side of things, Chris is just a terrific, humble, down-to-earth guy who I don't see as your typical degenerate lying poker player. And so for me, it all adds up to Chris being honest in his video - he DID intend to "quit", perhaps just play a few tournaments on ACR here and there, but when he had that string of success suddenly thanks to a few coaching sessions from Faraz... well, pretty sure that would probably change most people's minds, especially since it now involves no travel whatsoever... it's pretty much the perfect deal for him without much downside at all. Good post, I just wanted to add my two cents if two cents is still worth a damn anymore. hehe [/QUOTE]
