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.
Mike, did you play at turning stone when you were 18 or 19?
If you are the person I think you are (and I am sure of it), then it was a pleasure playing with you!
Hope all is good.
As for the people on this site that think poker is everything, wake up! Poker is fun, it can be bring profits, but it is hardly a way to spend life.
And there is more money in working, especially if you can start a business.
