Hi yall! I kinda took a 2 year break from poker after I lost my passion for the game. My leave began taking place right after Cardplayer printed that I was regarded as one of the most talented players on the cash game scene. There doesn't seem to be much glory in the ways of being a top tier poker player, with you all posting the 1 messed up pic of me on the web to look bad... talking about me being a crackhead and such. I held the #1 male google image for search "hot poker player" for some time, even after I rocked that bad look. I've never done cocaine or crack in my life. I was the guy who actually used to give away my poker knowledge here on these forums for free to help others get better. I'm not that good anymore but I might get back into the game, we'll see. If I do, I hope I stack all of you who said something nasty about me for no reason. I'd be a lot nicer if any of you weren't just anonymous flamers.
Few questions for Michael:
1. Any particular reason you took a break right after it hit the print that you're a highly regarded cash player?
2. Why would you say there isn't much glory in being a top tier poker player?
3. Are you joking when you say you're not that good anymore? Are you running bad? What type of games have you been playing, would you be interested in getting back into?
4. What occupies your time these days?
5. How has black friday effected your poker career? Have you considered moving overseas? What type of business ventures interest you?
Thanks.
