Chad Batista Jail Time
It is a well known fact, that Chad was in jail for misdemeanor before he started off his incredible poker career. There is a thread about the nature of the offense on Pocketfives. You can see the Chad Batista Thread here. The nature of the offense is only speculation and Chad has not been very vocal about. Rightly so, if you ask us, as personal affairs should mix with business. In the poker world, Chad has been controversial, because of his jail time and attitude at the poker table. However, this has gained him a cult following, and he is arguably on the most successful tournament pros in the online world. He is certainly not as controversial as Tiger Woods right now.

Chad Batista – lilholdem954 Playing Style
This is really what sets Chad apart from others. His style of play is highly volatile. And when me say highly, we emphasize, bold it and underline it. Chad is capable of the most crazy plays, like re-raising all in with 73 offsuit for all of his chips at the final table because he knows his opponent won’t call. He is absolutely fearless and isn’t afraid to blow 10 hours of straight tournament play on a huge bluff at the final table. He is also extremely aggressive and will play almost any two cards like Gus Hansen does. Admittedly, he has never read a poker book. His style is pure instinct and aggression. He also bluffs a lot more than most players.
