It's ok self-denial can be confusing when confronted with the truth. Facing the truth is hard and many can't come to terms with who they are.

I will say that self-assessment and awareness is a key to success. One that you apparently lack quite a bit. But you're years ahead of me there so I'm sure you already knew that. Carry on.

Fact you go on about how LA is the best and you're going to move there with your sick high stakes friends.

So this was all BS? So when you ask this question for the umteenth time you ask why I'm hypothesizing that you're not sincere? lol. Silly me.
jfc you act like these past 3 months have been normal? Forgive me for re-evaluating life changing decisions in the midst of a global pandemic and worldwide casino/poker room shutdowns..

How tf does this mean that I’m not sincere? That’s what I’m offended by. You’re being ridiculous, just admit you’re wrong.

You thinking I’m insincere isn’t revolutionary lmfao. I knew you were just an idiot like Lapi etc. I’m pretty sure you’re in the minority so it’s fine.

Enjoy being a hater brother.

I’ll be jussssstttt fine.

I'm in the minority? Is that why the instant you pop into any other thread people are like #banthechessman?

I see. Anyways I'm not wrong, but even if I was that's in the past so I'm not sure how that can be relevant here. You have no idea what I meant to say.

RTP, I'm biased and I already know this will fall on dear ears but stay in Texas imo. Eventually, when borders reopen, do some travelling and play some live poker along the way.
if your income is something like 130k or below you are exempt from US taxes so long as you spend less than a month per year in the US

so in rtp's case double taxation is a good problem to have because it means he hit his goal

You’re in the minority out of people who seemingly aren’t complete losers. You think the people saying sheeyit like #banthechessman are doing great things?

I don’t care to be liked by everyone. They say that if people don’t want you dead you’re not big enough.

Many of the greatest people are/were hated by a lot of people. Who tf cares?

I’m light years ahead of you in understanding that some people are just haters and are jealous of your aspirations. You fall into that category.

But please, feel free to let me know how unsuccessful I’ll be since I don’t match your ideals. I. Don’t. Care.

Not sure if serious? Maybe don’t criticize people if you can’t handle them calling you out?

TIL that re-evaluating life changing decisions in the midst of a global pandemic and worldwide casino/poker room shutdowns.. = fishing for validation.

Alright buddy. You got me. I hear the FBI is looking to hire prophets like you?

DMW, I got called when answering your poast earlier and then lost it.

Reasons for groupings:
1) I’ve heard Macau is Asia’s version of Vegas
2) Similar COL, high taxes, plethora of mid-high stake games, similar vibe, weather, geographical location, etc.
3) ^ especially geography
4) ^ especially geography
5) 5 random cities/states where playing professionally is an option pt. 1- higher COL, more glamorous based on my current perception
6) 5 random cities/states where playing professionally is an option pt. 2- lower COL, less glamorous based on my current perception
7) made list off the top of my head so could’ve forgot solid options
8) obv
9) obv
10) obv

Do I really need to go back and quote all the posts? I know it might be painful to look in the mirror and have some self-awareness. But that's what growing up is about kiddo.

Dammit, I knew I should've replaced that mirror I broke 35 years ago.

Don't use 2+2? No wonder you're stuck in Vegas taking dunking bets instead of someplace way more excellent like Texas.

Once you realize that the rest just don't care, you'll be a few more light years ahead.

So, you're proving turtle and G's point by linking to an article without the word "Pittsburgh" in it?

Spyu, the guy who started the #banthechessman sheeyit thinks that only 1% (i.e. 10/1000 for ex.) of the people itt are better than 6-bet at poker. So essentially he’s saying that 6-bet is better than you or the equivalent.

Case in point. Most people are dumb af and their opinions are completely worthless.

Don’t be like them haha. (Assuming you are if you cite them)

If these kind of people like you, you’re doing something wrong imo so I don’t lose sleep over sheeyit like that. It’s them who have issues (for the reasons above).
