Article on me in UCF newspaper

[Vehn]

i want the title "3rd world class" plz

[Boosted J]

I actually don't know where that line came from, I obviously haven't lost billions of dollars lol, and just stop nitpicking guys, I was just trying to bring to light in some of the quotes that most people only know about the big names and such on TV but what they don't know is that there are very very talented (and IMO better than the "big name" live pros) online and that normal kids just like I was (high school student bagger at grocery store) had a huge opportunity, so just trying to explain a little bit of the reasoning behind some of the stuff put in the article. Sorry if I came off as a dousche, that's def not how I meant it obv

Just giving out a good natured ribbing.

The article was actually quite good and you did not come off looking like a 100% degenerate gambler. Mabye only like 85%. But that ego is running full speed ahead.

Either that writer is a douchebag or Boooooooosted's a poor representative of us as a community. No offense Booosted, you've always seemed like a good guy to me, but articles describing how online poker players suffer from malnutrition isn't what we need. People aren't smart enough to seperate one individual's lifestyle from the whole.

Also, I don't see any problem with Booosted saying he's world class.

[ahnuld]

me neither. i dont think he comes off or is a douche. But the article made him sound like a huge degen. who would starve to death if it wasnt for his gf.

I guess I was considering world class someone that wins regularly in the big game. That is only a few people afaik (which is nobody on 2p2). There might be world class nlhe players on 2p2 though (ie. bldswttrs; aba20 might be close, but he also might just be running well over past few months).

edit: rethinking this, those two are barely world class; however, I'd consider someone like Patrick Antonius to be one of the few world class online players.

Hey guys, poker is just like monopoly. and they can't ban monopoly [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] lol, OP this article is exactly the image that we don't want portrayed of us. Go read the article about Strassa and see the difference. He portrayed poker in a positive light. Sorry I don't have a link.

Also very classy about your wife talking about how people can judge for themselves how you guys are living the nice life, eating at nice restaurants (Applebees?) and driving new cars.
