Beat of a lifetime, but still obviously the biggest supporter. Gonna have to dig up one of several 3 outers hit en route to that 3rd place finish.

Sucks… it was pretty fun. Bad time to go bust. You got game 7 of Stanley Cup though so I guess that evens things out.

Wow thanks buddy!
It actually is unbelievably helpful. If you can find someone (a roommate or whoever) who is at a similar skill level, you can just learn and excel from one another very fast. If you are chopping games, especially, you are really invested in the other’s results and will work just as hard to improve your game as you will theirs. And at the end of the day, you’ll both become significantly better players.
I think it’s safe to say that neither of us would have had quite the success we’ve had without working together to improve in all aspects of poker whether husng strategy, money management, or game selection. It really was seen as a team effort and either one of us succeeding was a win for the team.

LOL! Speaking of the car… I had to bail it out last night while helping with the move. He left the lights, 4-ways, and phone charger all on for over half an hour while we moved **** into his new apt.
Say “I’m lucky to have you around, Vinny.”
I'll have to put some croix stories together soon myself to contribute to the well once i'm caught up...
