When wishing to discuss an issue within an existing thread, it typically makes much more sense to post in that thread rather than starting a new one. I've fixed that for you.

Scroll down to the bottom. Interesting he could've just not put his poker history. Looks like he's gone legit and is a highly successful bullshit artist lol.
