Good post(s). I think that your inclination to self reflect on your inability to laugh in off, etc. To be critical of yourself in that way (analysing yourself rather than bitching and complaining about the actions of others), is probably one of the keys that make you a good player.

I am older than most here, and only at the bottom level of mid stakes play, but aspire to continue rising. Your posts have been an inspiration to me personally.

Many of the posters here, although good players at higher levels of play, are not wise beyond their years in character. I understand your decision and respect it but would like to ask you to reflect upon that fact. A ~21yr old earning ~150K part time while in school is generally not going to be the most humble of human beings. It is nothing personal.

If you can seperate yourself from the little backbiting posts you will further develop your (from what I can glean from your posts) admirable character, which in turn will translate to improved poker skill.

Cheers!

Samoleus,

you come up with an hourly rate and a number of hours per week that over 3 years translate to 5 million dollars 4 tabling. However, party have only had 10-20 NL for, what, 9 months? So even if your 2200 an hour was true it would only be pertinent over the past 9 monhts and thus your total winnings in this game would be WAY less 5 million. So what was the situation - prior to the party 10-20 NL there was another game that you could 4 table for 25 hours a week and make the same hourly rate?

But AFAIK other sites didn't have games as big as 10-20, and those that did they ran very rarely, and when they did you would very very rarely be able to 4 table.

Does it matter? Gaming club had 25/50 NL up for a while. It wasn't that popular but was up enough. Did he say he 4 tabled before the Party 2k games? Nope. 2200/hr is pretty damn insane at those party tables. If he's doing it, wow. If he isn't, then what does he really have to gain.

His initial post was the most interesting part. Only when KKF questioned his win rate did this thing get annoying.

What does it matter to you?

The guy comes on, makes one insightful post. I, for one, was looking forward to more, and 100000 otherwise intelligent posters start questioning whether he really has won the amount that he says he won.

What difference does it make if he has or not?

However, we seem to have lost the chance at some wonderful posts from a clever winning player.

Good job guys.

He said he played on the Gaming Club which I believe had higher stakes? 25/50 NL for atleast 2.5 years. They had lower stakes as well, I think I remember one of the names he referenced. Not as big as Prahlad on the site but I guess just as big of a winner.
