Not really sure about winning. In terms of big blinds, I recently got it in at NL200 against 3 players with top set and two of them had flush draws and the other one was a donk so he just had something ridiculous. I think I won maybe like 2.3 buy ins from that hand.
Losing was a $2000 pot I played at 2/4. I turned the second nut straight against some fish and check/raised him half my stack. He called with bottom two pair and proceeded to river his 4 outer.

Stop playing 24 tables (aka develop a soul). Move out of Europe (see previous).

Best hand you ever played?
Um, there was the one where I misclick folded Kings preflop and the board came AAA and the guy had AK. That was pretty great.
Um, recently, like a month ago, I soul read some fish and I check/raised him all in on the turn with AQ high (npnd) in a three-bet pot when he had 2/3 of his stack committed and I was POSITIVE he would fold and he did fold.

Like nine usually. I can't cascade/stack and I only have a 17 inch monitor. I'm getting another one this weekend and I'm gonna try for twelve.

Raising preflop significantly more than I limp. Also, going broke with more marginal hands and trusting my reads rather than relying on some set of rules I read in a poker book.

In terms of funny, I'd have to say The Main. Everything that guy says cracks me up. In terms of strat, idk, there are a lot of top notch posters, SABR, soah, from High Stakes, ranka and the other guy I always confuse with ranka, coordi from the bustos. Trebek. Chargers very often has similar things to say as me, so obv I think he's good. Really most of you guys are pretty solid posters.

1) Stylistic, who now posts here. I think he was the first person to learn how to three-bet on FTP.
2) Toby Won is a really strong player
3) JensPikenes (my avatar) because I could never put him on a hand lol. He ran like 17/3/1 and still managed to raise like Eight Two suited UTG and overcall 20% of his stack on the flop with bottom pair no draw.

Are you known for the act of fool pitying?
Actually, that's probably a misnomer. I'm very unsympathetic and kind of a prick.

The guy in your avatar rocks. Do you exhibit a similar style IRL?
Not anymore. The reflection of the sun off my gold silk shirts lit my printer paper on fire. Once your clothing becomes a fire hazard, it's time for a new wardrobe.
