It's like borderline impossible for Mark to be the best player at this point. The psychological impact of being ahead for so long and suddenly being on the ropes makes Cassidy an overdog right now regardless of who was the favorite when they started. If they were even I would be rooting for newhizzle but I'm a nit so I take a winner when I see one.

this is partly why i stopped playing online high limits almost 2 years ago. one specific thing is the feeling of losing money from a peak hurts so much more than the actual loss at higher limits for me than it does at regular limits where it is a smaller % of my roll. i think the reason is the amt of money. i guess i'm not a true gambler in that sense. most sessions would be normal, but a 150-200bb multitable high limit loss would feel a billion times worse that 4 75bb wins. that leaves me (if that happened exactly in a row... 4 wins and the loss) with a monetary gain but a severe emotional loss.

if i were mark i'd not be very composed right now...but i promise you, talking to me you'd think i was. not a good gauge of composure. only he knows where he is at right now. self awareness is funny like that...only one's self knows in instances like these.

well...i feel i know him pretty well and his moods (been around when hes won big and lost big before). He is not going to hide how he feels right now, if for any reason he is just too worn down from being awake. Of course hes not happy about the loss...but he is fine and not freaking in the least. And no, in some circumstances others know you better than yourself, espeically when you are not in a sharp mind set. On top of that, there are always people who you show or tell your true emotions to, so dont assume so little about him and the situation. Im 100% sure he isnt "hiding" how he feels right now from me (not to sound high and mighty, but as a friend - cause I am sure people are going to talk crap)
