to clarify when i say skeptical you can read that as "i do not believe it at all"

AJ --- I have played with this person at Foxwoods a few times although i don't know him all that well. But we have developed a rapore and are friends...
From both talking to him, exchanging emails, and watching him play, i consider him the best poker player i have ever had the pleasure of playing with (and have a decent amount of experience with)...He is ranked #1 on my list of poker players in terms of talent and ability. He is also very clearly "super-intelligent"...
I consider myself a good judge of character and he seems to be a good and honest person. 6 million is very hard to believe, but i for one believe every word of it. I wouldn't be shocked if the # was exageratted but i am >80% sure that it's not.
I will not go into more details because I don't want to violate his privacy....

The risks/negatives are: legality issues, boredom over time, games drying up, unfullfilling profession (this doesn't matter much if the rest of your life is fulfilling)
You know the positives and have mentioned them in this thread...
