It’s not such of a trophy as it is more of a participation certificate given his obsession with making safe spaces / echo chambers for his bad takes on sports and other topics.

Cut him some slack. He's not far removed from the womb and has clearly been sheltered his entire life. It's only natural that he would want to replicate to the extent possible an environment that he's used to being in.

FWIW, the fact that you can write better than most of your peers, you are doing alright.

Poker is an experience, don't make it a career.

It’s too late. Nobody’s going to get the opportunity to tell me I failed, in the long run.

Also, I’m not sure I’d be able to handle the “you were wrong, kid” that’d be coming from all directions if I did move on.

The thing that causes self doubt for me occasionally is if I’ll even be happy when it’s all said and done, not if I’ll hit my goals.

Possibly, but also very likely that he’d have broken out and gone nuts anyway. Lots of stories about him acting up already.

He might still edge into the top 10 to be honest. Depends if you do ‘would win at their peak’ or ‘greatest career achievements’

He really was dominant for those 3 or 4 years, albeit the standard of competition wasn’t great. But then Larry Holmes didn’t have many good opponents either

What's the longest stretch you've gone without it since you first tried it a couple months back?

Football Lent wrapped un at 167, 33 3/4",k which means down 9lbs and 1" in 2 weeks.

Currently enjoying Weisenstophner Krystallweiss with sesame shrimp. Not the best pairing as the WKB is a bit sweet for Chinese food.

Robin Givens was not at all good for his career and maybe that doesn’t happen if Cus is still alive. If she doesn’t **** everything up, maybe he would still have been training and in better condition for Douglas

uggh to argue this. Tyson's peak may have been shortened by his own actions but he didn't just beat opponents he destroyed them. The NES Punchout problem of 1 hit from Tyson resulting in a knockdown was not that far from the truth.

It's a toss-up between that and the debate over keeping legal documents on paper vs. electronic.

I smoked DMT last weekend. It was fun.

Makes total sense.

Just to be the Devil's Advocate but physical space spaces are different than emotional ones.

I believe they are referring to the latter.

Ya man, just like poker dealers in these private games who are practically millionaires because rich people know their first name.

Dealers in private games have a sick hourly. Most of them would be rich if they weren't total degenerates who dumped the money back into the game.
