NYMag Crowns Alex DerHohannesian



In a recent web feature, New York Magazine selected Alex DerHohannesian as 'da Champ' of the New York City Big Buck players (No doubt based on his recent appearance HERE at Porch).

You are definitely the best looking of that crowd.

We are always interested in collecting people's strategies and tips to pass on to other players. Pappy particularly liked your quote:

"It’s all about getting the right buzz, where I’m not that sober but I’m not totally sauced. You’ve got to capture and embrace that perfect four-to-seven-beer level."

- Alex DerHohannesian


We all appreciate the advice, ... although I'm not sure your mom is going to want to cut out that quote and pin it up on the fridge.


UPDATE:

Newly-crowned Alex must have found that perfect four-to-seven-beer level last night as he just posted a massive 35,025 pt score on the Big Buck Safari National Trny "Tourney of Doom" to put him atop the leaderboard. His score was high enough and apparently so was he.

  1. In the magazine, he says he doesn't like to be totally "soft". We think that's what he really said.
