He was also very friendly to me when I was hanging with Robl. Made a lasting impression.

Cha, you and I were around during some good times in the SnG forum. I just posted this in the sweat thread:

Go Raptor! It has to be close to 9 years ago that he was breaking down SnG hands at an incredibly high level. He was just a kid and had a better understanding of the game than nearly everyone in the world. What a great story. "Holla!"
