No, Cole, it's clearly not specifically about you, and the general picture doesn't necessarily fit you. Just a few details are taken from your blog for colour.

Wasn't this a Whitelime hand?

"Pushing all-in preflop with AK against an UTG raiser, hoping to double up, but realizing with horror that his opponent has AA (a hand that is chronicled on Highstakesdb)."

obv some details look like they are about me, I recently took a trip to Hawaii with my gf, drive a Bentley, etc but that's where it ends of course. I've never been staked, never wired money to full tilt, have barely played any 300/600nl and don't have a problem at all with grinding it out lower, have plenty in the bank, the hands talked about don't sound familiar yada yada

comeon cts - you think you are the only online poker player who wins a lot of money, takes your girlfriend to hawaii, drives a bentley, and doesn't wire money to FTP??? you are sadly mistaken... this could be one of thousands of players.

I think it's a collection of high-stakes online poker gossip tidbits tied up into a story and then labeled as "truth" for more sensationalism. There's definitely some cts in there, some Boosted J and probably many others that don't come to mind right now.

the article is obviously bulls with some factual references to players this article has nothing to do with.

Instead of playing one table, he decided to sit at both of the $300/$600 games that were going.

[/ QUOTE ]
this quote shows the poor knowledge of the author, since the only 300/600 tables are heads up.
