Let's just go with this statement right here as an example of what I mean by hype.
Whatever it is that you 'know' is mostly just things you've heard from other people, much of that just things they heard from other people, and so on. But you state these things as unequivocal facts. Ever play that game Telephone as a kid? It starts off as 'I like ice cream' and by the 9th kid it turns into 'Privateworld has a thing for black men'. The truth gets watered down and distorted each time something is repeated. Which is why most people qualify gossip when they share it by saying things like 'ya I just heard this from a guy who knows a guy so take it FWIW but...' but you just state things as fact.
Like this $250/500k game for instance. You weren't there, were you? And these 6 biggest cash games in the world. You haven't been to all of them, have you? Ofc not. Nobody would expect you to have been. But you state it like you have. And we all know that you're misrepresenting yourself and the facts when you do that. The only one you're fooling is yourself.
That's what I mean by hype. Chill out on the hype. The fact that you are privy to all of this gossip is cool enough. You don't need to try and make yourself sound even cooler by pretending to be something that you're not.
