Throwing Gummy Bears at the wall

My first table is tough, with three of the best young internet players at the table. Two of them are 21, kidding the 24-year old about being too old. "What's it like to be 24?" they ask mockingly. Alex Torelli, the youngest, playing in his first WSOP event, quickly amasses a mountain of chips, and, as most people do when they get lucky, starts chirping. Apparently he was beating Roland de Wolfe at Chinese Poker in his hotel room and Roland got so angry he started throwing gummy bears at the wall. Somehow or other they ended up trying to see how close they could get to the wall for $1000 a throw, and Alex dropped $7,000 at the gummy bear game. The punch line is that Roland has pulled this move before on others, and has apparently practiced this skill for hours!

These kids have no regard for money, and are happy to take -ev (negative expected value) risks as long as the rebuy period is in effect.

Another player has even less regard for money. He paid $1000 for his entry fee, and never even bothers to show up, his stack slowly dwindling as blinds are posted over the first 2 1/2 hours. We theorize that he must be really stuck in a big game somewhere.
