Player Analysis of Bobby Baldwin ?

Description

When Bobby was in his prime, many players considered him to be the best at No-Limit Hold'em. He was reputed to be outstanding at putting a player on a hand and making the right decision. He only plays poker in the big cash games at a few of the major tournaments now, and he is often out of practice. When we play with Bobby in The Big Game we have to get him stuck the first week or we've lost our chance. Once he gets back in the flow, he is a top player.

Best Game

No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Lowball

Weakness

Often is not in game shape due to business commitments

Amusing Anecdote

Bobby doesn't play where he works because he thinks it looks unprofessional and he doesn't want any possible altercations with employees. One of the last times he played at the Mirage (where he was president at the time), he was sitting next to the dealer when a security guard nudged him and told him to move so he could get the drop box.

Bobby said, “Give me a second, buddy. I just have to figure out what to do with this hand.” The security guard said, “Move, please.” Bobby said, “Do you realize I'm the president?” The guard replied, “I don't care if you're @#^*ing George Bush -- you need to move.” That was the guard's last day on the job.
