Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

"Falling into Microsoft" isn't the best way to put it, but just like any other successful person, Bill Gates had to be in exactly the right place at the right time to be able to accomplish what he has. It wasn't just raw talent and will to succeed, it almost never is.

It is most likely true for the outliers of the poker world as well. Howard certainly is a good example, he was lucky enough to have money, have an idea, have credibility, at the perfect time for an online site to be successful (after others had failed and paved the way).

i don't know anything about that but my point is he wouldn't of even of had the opportunity to create such a site as FTP if he didn't run good in those 2 tournaments pre money maker era and get all of that television coverage with his sister annie. right place right time

Like Howard has to defend himself against a comment like that from Kathy anyway, she's the biggest nit next to ferguson in the game. It makes no sense why she would say something like this just in general conversation, she is obv bitter that he's doing well and she obv isn't.

That's not the point.
Being busto and being "not as successful" are not the same things.

Wow. Talk about posting for the sheer sake of posting...

I dont know much about politics, but Im pretty sure being a senator isn't a political bust. The Jeter comment is the most mind boggling, though. You're saying if he was drafted by the Red Sox he wouldn't be a good player? Get ahold of yourself.

If Kathy had not run good somewhere...along time ago...she would have known Howard...She might even be playing on FT.

I don't believe that quote at all, Lederer started with less than nothing in the poker world and he made millions by grindind cash games and tournaments before he found Full Tilt.

You are mocking things that were posted as examples of "things that would be stupid to say" by the person you quoted.

I know english is the second language around here alot of the time but this sentence can be interpretted to mean that Lederer would be a successful poker player if not for ft.


she may have been giving him a compliment.


so, I feel like I need to counter it to make the world right again.


Howard's a douche who talks too much at the table like he's the only one who knows strategy in card games.

He's making the point that saying he "fell" into Full Tilt is a little discrediting.

Most people earn what they get out of life, not everyone is a fat jealous slob like Kathy.

A point I see most of you missed.

I'm pretty sure Howard was well-regarded in the poker community before he founded FTP.
