So you basically know nothing about Bovada and very little about current 888, yet you quoted "100NL Zoom is tougher than 400NL on Bovada 888 or whatever" and made an arrogant awful joke/disparaging comment, when this claim is pretty reasonable.
For what it's worth, Bovada is a VERY unique site with Americans and anonymous tables. People were comparing people beating much smaller stakes elsewhere as being capable of beating much bigger stakes on Bovada, that was the whole discussion going on that you chimed in on. Maybe actually knowing something about it would have been helpful, but its NVG, the f am I talking about. "If you aren't trolling, you're doing it wrong", as one expert told me.

Mannn. I'm not sure you realize, but I'm streaming on twitch. In the same vein as not knowing anything about Bovada, I assume you don't know much about twitch. The poker level of audience is mostly (completely new) or people that play ~1c 2c. At times, I try to cater to them. Other times I don't. It's annoying because if you caught other sessions, you would likely think much differently, but for me, realizing that at any point someone like you can pop in for X amount of time and make this assessment makes it much less fun for me, as it makes me inclined to "always be on", dance less, nike clap less, ignore the bulk of my audience, keep things on the highest level, focus and make sure that when I finally get an Ike, Jungleman, or Keruli to pop in, they know damn well my thought process is like a god damn ginsu blade no matter which 15-minute segment of the 8 hour stream is running.
I feel the need to prove my worth to good regs (who have mostly given good feedback), because lord forbid one makes a post in NVG with an opinion that doesn't boost my prom queen ego... all of a sudden the horror hits me, my night takes a wild turn and I have to write another essay. These things can be avoided by speaking 100 words per minute and making sure they are all godlike. That likely takes removing singing, and possibly even bobbing my head. Its a tough life, man.
I'd like to know which thought processes/lines, or at least get an example, because I think we've gone pretty deep on stream many times before.

Here I go, using a sample of one to display absolutely nothing of value as proof of "something" to counter someone using a sample of (unknown) from a drinking stream to make a full assessment of my poker skill

the fact that you baselessly assume you would be ''likely right much more often than [me]'' shows that you have an irrational/biased picture of your own skill compared to others'.
Not baseless, just like you went off of whatever sample, I'm going off of your posts here to assess level of cluelessness. Seeing as you made other comments about things you knew nothing about, I feel that your ranges still include plenty of cluelessness. Of course, I could be wrong, I'm going off of a limited sample...

bringing up the recent worst day of my career seems mean to me.
As does your post in this thread : ) Gotta keep it balanced, right? Assuming that whatever random sample you caught is a full representation of anything, then using that to "counterbalance" people giving support in a thread, thanks for your balance m8

p.s. i just remember that you wrote something about having some of the highest winrates in the games you play. that claim just seems way off and dishonest to me. that's part of the reason why i posted critically.
Highest winrates (or close) in the 6max NL games I've played over the years, including recent times of ~a year ago. Yes. This is what I've claimed, those claims are true. I just hopped into the 100Z game. I don't think it's the case for that game yet, but I feel pretty good about my chances of making it so vs the people that actually stay in that game. What was dishonest?
