My guess would be Guy Liberte, seems to stake a lot of the under rolled but capable (i use that term lightly) tv cash game guys....kwsteve;279366 wroteSo, I followed Bellande on twitter. Sounds like I have a bigger bankroll than he does. Who is backing him and why does he want to lose money? Gives me hope that someday I can find a backer.
Seriously, how does Bellande have a backer?
I really hate this guy.
He was on Survivor good for him and he talks alot at the table too... I talk alot as well anyone want to back me?
Checked out his twitter again ugh what a goof.

Yes.Vekked;279826 wroteyou play 200BB different in a tourney than a cash game?
C'mon gta I know you want to be my backer :D
As for how you play 200 deep at a tourney, your trying to win as many pots as you can to stay afloat while others sink, cash game...its more important to GET all the money rather than just some...so yes its played much differently.
An easier way to look at it, at a tourney you might shove with anything to get it in before the flop take a gamble or not gamble if you have AA and helps your image for when you move in, at a cash game more often than not your not going to put all your chips in so quickly with AA, hope to get the max instead

A couple things a) the whole "Busto Bellande" thing is at least partly a made-up persona, it's like his trademark. And b) he has a day job - he's a poker host at the Aria, so he has at least some kind of regular income beyond playing poker.
Vegas will eventually catch up to him and he will actually have nothing, least thats my take upon it.
Against Ferguson of all people....
PS it was Hellmuth being the huge dick, not Bellande.
