He is married now living in Montana with two kids. His adventure days are gone.

Mike is alive and well and not in Montana. He seemed solid enough that I decided to do some detective work to figure out who he was after playing with him for a few hours in the Parx $340 yesterday. If you happen to wander back to your own thread Mike, I was the kid wearing the Red Sox winter hat who jammed the Q6hh on J64hh and got called by worse . Good playing with you yesterday.

how do u know he married with 2 kids in montana

Montainya sure is nice this time of year, boys. I said I say uh YEEHAWWWWWW

Lol
Epic.

This thread was so epic, hope life is good brother!

ahhh, the days of OP crashing in my suite at WSOP and raiding the VIP lounges. I think Mike's doing just fine. Smoking hot g/f too. Hope to see you this summer and catch up brother.

60 pages in, still reading, fb requested (asian kid with the apple). Love the thread!

To the high school baseball player on my team that called me "a skinny piece of ****" who is now fat and bald

The wannabe pro poker player who needed to cover poker tournament and news who told me that Im a nobody

To the bracefaced sputnik reg who hasn't beat the game in 6 months who asked me if my Rolex was a ladies watch

The hometown drug addict handyman who embarrassed me in front of my last girlfriend who now lives with his parents and cleans human **** out of toilet bowls

To the nerd regs who have "poker confidence" and mouth off but outside those 4 walls are absolute and total losers

Thank you. Thank you for giving me the motivation to keep going. Another cash game session. Another workout. Another wsop. If only he knew that his loving girlfriend of many years offered to blow me and I declined. If only they knew that it all makes me stronger...

Yikes.. talk about a cringeworthy post

And I got love for ya being a fellow Staten Islander... hit us with an old school update lol that's what the people want ... anyway, GL @ WSOP this year

Seriously. I get it it's your thread and all, but the early days of this thread were amazing. I get my hopes up whenever you post that it will be a real update.

#ripsurebet
Love the thread Mike, I do agree with Rutledge Smitty tho
GL

What a sick life run in such a short period, much respect. Even if this all got extremely weird and awkward towards the end of the thread lolol, just remember OP there was members offering you places to stay and quite literally buy you food when you needed it. While the story is amazing and great, you yourself said you felt you were meant for something "bigger" it's a shame to see that you turned into a guy that opted to troll the very people that were rooting for him the whole time, I have mixed emotions after reading all of this. But seriously thank you for the read. What an experience. Gl in life.:club

its like OP forgot he was living in his car 1 bad beat away from living on his parents couch.

Moral of the thread? be nice to everyone you meet because the humble loser might become rich and turn into a dick, out to spite everyone who he feels wronged him in the slightest lol.

Wtf is up with all the navy words in this thread?

Saw OP this weekend playing 10/10 at Parx and was on the interest list for 10/25. OP looks well and has put a couple of pounds. Come back to us Mike, keep crushing it.

whats the name of insanepoker7

Mike Wolf. From the OP.

Just ran into this thread now lol
I probably played with him many hours during 2,014.
I was a regular at most of the South Florida casino's especially at the Hard Rock.

OP spotted at Bellagio 10/20 NL

Ahhh Shaolin, the land of Pete Davidson and Wu Tang. The xanax addled land filled with pseudo sicilian black hand mafia families who eat too many carbohydrates and get chubby and act as swole muscle under affliction shirts in jersey shore day clubs. I look back in wonderment and disbelief. I almost let the rock claim me. My grandmother got sick and I moved back to SI from LA/Vegas to take care of my grandfather. 2 years go by and poof Im fat, balding, fighting with people. My pill and alcohol induced mania clouded judgment. I lost all my friends. All the connections I had cultivated in poker destroyed. I became a jaded gambler losing 50k in the pit on multiple occasions. I didn't challenge myself by playing higher stakes poker. I didn't study. I refused to learn from my mistakes and I was stubborn in my ways. How could what I was doing be wrong? How could I not be a millionaire yet?
My joy had been stolen. I needed coffee to stay away and booze/xanax to sleep. I distinctly remember crushing up pills to snort at 7am before a day 3. My nose is intact though (RIP Artie's schnoz) Hey nowwwww
Didn't make much progress 2017-2018. A heavenly Virigil was sent down from the clouds and pulled me through the depths of the inferno. She saved my life and I owe her everything. Everything I am now is because of her. 8 glass of water a day Mike Wolf. Vitamin smoothie Mike Wolf. Meditate upon xr flop range as bb vs btn single raised pot Mike Wolf.
Went to Hong Kong. Had herbal tea and became zen. Well not really, it was overpopulated and the seafood tanks on the street were dirty. Played baccarat and poker in Macau. They must give out Gucci sneakers and LV bags out for free there. Traveled to Seoul and ate like a king but it was too cold to enjoy. Went to Bangkok and became zen, well not really. The 17 year old prostitutes and fat old white men creeped me out. Went to Japan and became zen. Yeah kinda sorta. Osaka, Tokyo, and Kobe (rip) I highly recommend to anyone who likes traveling. Ramen and Kobe beef revitalized my soul. Through each nigiri I could feel my soul being replenished. The wholesomeness coming back to me. With each piece of tempura vegetable I could begin to smile again. Made my way to Okinawa and it made me feel like I was playing shadow hearts and had the vibe the locals were cannibals. Perhaps withdrawal symptoms of anti depressants, coke, xanax, vicodin, whiskey. Who knows? The whole period of time is one big blur. Question if Im alive. Perhaps I died and this is my afterlife.
Blah blah. Lived in Boston for a year. Went to a few greek islands and hit barca and london recently. Cave airbnb with jacuzzi was great in Santorini. Virgil (suspect virgil in dantes inferno is a man but in my case virgil is a female. Not that there's anything wrong with that) and I had breakfast delivered to our front door every morning. Something about that part of the world with the history. I climbed temples in Athens like I was playing assassins creed!!
Apologies to anyone I told to go **** themselves at the poker table. Cheers to 2021. The year of BTC and $2,000 stimulus checks.

Drugs, alcohol, poor sleep, lack of exercise, gambling, poor diet can destroy someone.

This.

Great update OP. Keep crushing life and those big online games

We’re confirmed for the Texas Card House Dallas live stream tonight! 🤠
