No, amazing players play amazingly. PROFESSIONAL players use excellent game selection skills. There are tons of amazing players that aren't pros, there are tons of pros that aren't amazing. One thing I can tell you for sure, however, is that Gabe "All Talk" Costner is not an amazing player, although it's possible he could be a pro, but the games would have to be REALLY good. As I have said numerous times in the past, being good at poke risn't even in the top 5 skills needed to be a good professional player.

Well then you shouldn't be such a wuss about playing for 40k with Samo, Gabe "All Talk" Costner. Course, you have also mentioned how you have little time to play him because of the stock market, and that you wouldn't play in a casino because of the lasers. I guess the lasers all missed you last night.
WTF is 5-10 300nl anyway? Are 25 buyin swings normal, or is Gabe "All Talk" Costner and his GF just that awesome? Are you two playing in the same game? That would seem somewhat collusory.
