You're over 40, it's none of my business but stop denying it...

I've played you, you started goin berserk in chat and even openshoving sometimes.

We can play an infinite amount of games, we've played quite a lot of games already. you did not win.

the self-critical part is just pure bull****, I have several skype chatlogs that contain chats of you bragging about how good you are, how everybody else at your stake sucks, and how high your ROI is. Your ROI is not even 3% and when I called you out you wisely didn't say ****.

8% is bull****, i can look it up for you if you want.

we can further discuss this in pm's if you want

i looked it up: 1.4k games ROI 8.59% more than half of the games 22$,33$ some 11$ few 6$

you dont need to make such an offense all the time against me, just to distinguish yourself

and "last year I had..." doesn't count. How is that relevant/impressive? it's about what your ROI is now and not what it once was or could have been.

There's several people who know my stars ID, it's not a real big deal, I just like the way it is right now so I don't plan on telling a lot of people my sn (including you).

Taking my ego out and realizing that I suck at poker has been one of the best things that ever happened for my game. When you know you suck, you can work and improve. If you are 'just running bad', there isn't a ****ing thing you can do.

The greatest thing I learn about poker is that if you do it for the money you will never make any. If you play poker to acheive zen and learn to control yourself and your emotions, then you will be truly great.
