I kept looking at this thread and up until now have yet to open it. Guess I just figured I knew what was inside already, a lot of love for thelipofund. I was right. So, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to share my thoughts of this young man from a more personal perspective.
I lived with Marty for a few years (2 or so I think?). In that time I learned more about poker than I ever would have had I let things run its natural course. I could also argue that everything happens for a reason and that meeting Marty and then living with him was all apart of "the plan" thus the natural course of life. Either way, I came out on top as far as I'm concerned. Although, he still owes me a personal session for my birthday which I couldn't get him to stay off 2+2 long enough to give me. He is a very active person and hates any down time at all. I'll try to explain Marty from my POV..
For one, Marty is a terrible basketball player but he claims he played previously in high school or something :P. For someone as uncoordinated as him, he holds his own, though. As far as tennis goes, we are both on the same level and he was always fun to play with. We were always out of shape and so after an hour we were dragging ourselves around the court. He has a nasty drop shot and an even sicker return with lots of topspin. I'd like to play again with him perhaps in Vegas vs other sub par tennis players like ourselves. I haven't seen him play any other sports but I'm sure he can hold his own in them as well. The likable thing about Marty and sports is that he will always put forth an effort and rarely finds himself embarrassed for trying; its certainly admirable in that regard.
Marty is truly a very talented poker player as many of you know already just from playing with him online. Outside of poker Marty's greatness definitely flows into his real life. It shouldn't come as any surprise that he maintained an excellent GPA throughout high school and college. The man is a genius and bursts my bubble every time I mention my 31 ACT score by reminding me of his 35. He is a superb student and so dedicated to learning (but more so just graduating) he walked to class for his last semester of college. It was probably about 6 miles roundtrip. Most of you would've consider this impossible. Although, I do think he started to take cab rides when it would rain and also started to after he shipped a few large field MTTs. Understandable, though.
He isn't exactly known for being a huge giver at least not in the monetary sense. In fact, he once told a homeless man, who begged him by name, that "theres no such thing as a free lunch" as he strolled right past his cries and shouts for mercy. Marty isn't a pushover by any means. His mercilessness and poker winnings could have some correlation. However, when it comes to people he loves, he would give them anything (w/in reason of course).
He is quick to ask if someone needs a hand with something and even faster to catch a friend if he sees him falling.
I've had a back and forth relationship with Marty where he has treated me poorly one day and the next day like we were best friends. I played it off as just one of the experiences of living with others. Its not always easy. I had conflicts with Marty over various things in the past. I was viewed as a moocher and/or freeloader for quite a long time, perhaps still to this day, I'm not sure. This, if you recall how I described Marty's feelings about people like that, often made Marty upset with me. I understand it better now that he was more disgusted with my lack of motivation to better myself as well as who I was in general, asset-less and busto. So, we have had our differences in the past because of that. I probably smoked his bananas too often, used his car/gas a lot, and ate too many of his groceries. However, I'm pretty certain that because our taste in music, films, women, and life in general we were able to get along quite well considering I was a sad broke b*tch.
Marty introduced me to so many beautiful aspects of life. Outside of introductions to artists I listen to and still follow to this day, amazing films, games, books, people; most importantly I learned to be more selfish with my time and money. Its a disease that our beloved fish are cursed with. They don't know how to be selfish enough to hold on to their money and thus lose it into poker where Marty and other sickos promptly withdraw it and then rarely lose it back. It wasn't a lesson where he sat me down and explained it to me. It was just a daily display that after viewing for so long I finally understood what I was looking at. In fact, a lot of lessons I learned from Marty were learned without a single word being exchanged. It was just some kind of understanding that I had to grasp most of the time.
Thats why this..
..is so important. It seems simple enough but truly something most of you don't understand well enough otherwise you would be on more nuts than you are. You gain so much by just talking to others. Listening to the way they speak, how they think, their rationale, point of view, understanding of, and so forth, its all important. More often than not you couldn't possibly absorb everything in one day, two, three or even longer. After time, you start to see whats going on and understand it all better. I'm sure I didn't pester Marty enough when I was living with him for poker knowledge. Its my only regret now.
Now, I'm never really too sure that when I write something on here I'm not upsetting anyone or making an ass out of myself. I just start typing and let free whatever my flow of consciousness feels. I let it out through words. So, while I feel I could continue writing about this great individual and the many things he has done to impact my life personally, I will keep the post reasonable in both content and length.
Marty, I hope I haven't said anything out of line or untrue. I believe I portrayed you honestly and in a fair light. I think you are one of the greatest of all time and deserve every last cent that you win/earn. I do appreciate everything you have done for me in the past and one day when I finally "make it" I will give much credit to you and what I gained from having you in my life. You've been a great friend to me and I hope you feel the same about me.

yo lee, nice words dude. didnt have a 35 on the act, only a certain section (bbbbbb33 could prob guess which one). anyways, do you not remember the talk we had about the ACT science completely ****ing up my score? it was seriously a giant time trap and that required NO actual scientific knowledge at all...so frustrating. i loved the act though, because they dont penalize you for guessing (always brought my lucky coin!), they also dont make you fill in anything as far as responses go. certainly dont miss tests though. very glad to be done with them. i still like learning though. i just hate to be tested. thats why i like khanacademy so much. i know i briefly touched on it in my first post (with a porn joke), but it's literally awesome. you can watch video lectures on a variety of topics
http://www.khanacademy.org/ (i assume links are ok because this is non-profit and a learning resource?)
goal for rest of year is to finish all of the videos in these sections for personal reasons:
-Valuation and Investing
-Venture Capital and Capital Markets
-Currency
then i'm having to force myself through some finance and pre-calculus videos (go figure, an econ grad trying to learn pre-calculus online, FSU go noles!!!).
dont want to be totally out of the grad-school loop someday in the future. these will probably take years for me though as there's so many and move a lot slower.
I can only watch one video a day. I don't do it every day. Sometimes i'm in the mood for it, sometimes I'm not. theyre probably the greatest resource available on the internet though. it's great because you can do it on your own time, pause it whenever you want to, rewind, take notes slowly, multitask while doing it, do it while playing a 109 turbo, etc
youre a good guy lee. probably a bit too emotional, chill out, its all good. lee sent me a message asking why i blocked him on IM, i told him i didnt. he asked me why he hasnt seen me online, since i used to be on aim 24/7. i told him i made a resolution to be on aim as little as possible while playing. if ppl want more advice, that has helped me a lot. just not going on aim/wasting as much time/attention elsewhere when tables are up
ill get around to answering the other questions in a little bit as well. i just saw this wall of text and had to respond.
had a lazy day around the house. booked my flight to LA though. going to be a live pro for a little bit while keeping up the online grind. west coast time is great for the late night turbos so im pretty excited. i need to get a laptop before i leave for LA, ive been making posts about needing a laptop on 2p2 since i won the mulligan. never got one and my old macbook died. idk how i put it off so long, but if someone can show me a good laptop that ill be able to 30 table on between stars tilt with TN (TN=table ninja for those unaware, but i guess those unaware wouldnt be nerdy enough to give me reliable computer advice so typing all of this is completely unnecessary anyways. i guess another bit of advice is to buy table ninja. if you play more than 1 table and you dont use this, youre losing money. yes, that does mean your beloved mac is a sub-optimal poker machine, sorry what hsnl told you about the macbookpro being the nuts. /end rant) that i can just walk into best buy and take away the same day, thatd be great. because im desperate to figure out the best solution before thursday (basically not a macbook(pro)), and now i have no other choice but to get the laptop. i like to procrastinate....i also like parentheses.....and prawns.
excited to visit LA though. im hoping to have a lot of fun and make a lot of money.

i played from friday night turbos - sunday late 100r. 2 30 xrs, lots of subway, and i think i ate all the ice rainbow sherbert that ricky had gotten at the grocery store (it was an entire gallon).
it was a pretty epic weekend. the way i remember it:
the friday night grind jeremiah and JP stayed up with me all night into the morning. we watched fear and loathing in las vegas and i FT bubbled the $2r and was really ****ing tilted. then we started all playing songs from our itunes. we would alternate in picking and had a pretty nice mesh going. bry and the raff woke up and played music. we all grinded saturdays and jp went to sleep. i grinded all day and into the night, i remember JP waking up again and saying to me "how are you still ****ing awake". i had only taken adderall 2 times before in my life and only like a 10mg to study for an an exam . i took another one sunday and fired up the grind. i regged a full schedule and actually went deep in the stars 109r that starts at 7.30. pretty sure it was my first time cashing that tournament and its probably something i shouldnt have even been playing at the time even if i wasnt awake for like 70hrs. felt like death towards the end but i was only 1 tabling and i had 8 ppl to keep me awake if necessary. was kind of glad when i busted. was a wild weekend and i didnt even do that poorly and actually felt good about my play. learned a lot listening to tt_fold babble about tourneys. he had alarms set on his phone for start times to different tournaments, addon times, etc. this was serious ****, he was bragging about every pay jump he stalled for, hed alert us when we were near bubbles in tournaments. it was amazing. i was raking in a bunch of free money i had missed out on before. fwiw ive done adderall probably 7 times in my life, and maybe 3 times since then. i cant stand it. i can be focused/alert without it and not being able to sleep is the mos miserable feeling the world. i dont think id trade sleep for anything. i had a friend go crazy from taking adderall too. those nick rainey threads were troubling too (i have nothing against the guy i think hes hilarious, just making a mttc joke)...
sure we can probably check opr. think it shows me playing 3 days straight starting march 6th (friday night) and ending on the 8th with 215 hyper (sunday night). if you look you can see i was playing plo hi/lo late friday night/sat morning and jp was giving me coaching. i learned so much in 30 minutes and had 2 cashes. <3 JP
weirdest part about that poker binge. i thought id sleep forever afterwards. but i only slept for 6 hours i think. never felt like i had a sleep deficit either. never crashed and didnt in the coming weeks. i remember waiting for it and it never happening...ahhhh the wonders of being young. at the same time, theres nothing more that i like than sleeping for a long time, so i wish i wouldve. cant win em all. was a great week though. i guess i wasnt eating meat then. i went to outnack and got a lot of seared ahi tuna, and i won $1200 playing HORSE without making a single shot. hilton head trip was pretty great. even if i ****ed up that smoothie and it went all over everything. i still wear that shirt i got at walmart: "kiss me im irish-hilton head island, USA". doesnt even matter if its not saint patricks day, its a permanent part of my wardrobe now.
it was a pretty epic weekend. the way i remember it:
the friday night grind jeremiah and JP stayed up with me all night into the morning. we watched fear and loathing in las vegas and i FT bubbled the $2r and was really ****ing tilted. then we started all playing songs from our itunes. we would alternate in picking and had a pretty nice mesh going. bry and the raff woke up and played music. we all grinded saturdays and jp went to sleep. i grinded all day and into the night, i remember JP waking up again and saying to me "how are you still ****ing awake". i had only taken adderall 2 times before in my life and only like a 10mg to study for an an exam . i took another one sunday and fired up the grind. i regged a full schedule and actually went deep in the stars 109r that starts at 7.30. pretty sure it was my first time cashing that tournament and its probably something i shouldnt have even been playing at the time even if i wasnt awake for like 70hrs. felt like death towards the end but i was only 1 tabling and i had 8 ppl to keep me awake if necessary. was kind of glad when i busted. was a wild weekend and i didnt even do that poorly and actually felt good about my play. learned a lot listening to tt_fold babble about tourneys. he had alarms set on his phone for start times to different tournaments, addon times, etc. this was serious ****, he was bragging about every pay jump he stalled for, hed alert us when we were near bubbles in tournaments. it was amazing. i was raking in a bunch of free money i had missed out on before. fwiw ive done adderall probably 7 times in my life, and maybe 3 times since then. i cant stand it. i can be focused/alert without it and not being able to sleep is the mos miserable feeling the world. i dont think id trade sleep for anything. i had a friend go crazy from taking adderall too. those nick rainey threads were troubling too (i have nothing against the guy i think hes hilarious, just making a mttc joke)...
sure we can probably check opr. think it shows me playing 3 days straight starting march 6th (friday night) and ending on the 8th with 215 hyper (sunday night). if you look you can see i was playing plo hi/lo late friday night/sat morning and jp was giving me coaching. i learned so much in 30 minutes and had 2 cashes. <3 JP
