How your child sees you and feels about you in 10-20-30-40-50 years is what defines you as a person, imo.
How your child sees and feels about you is one part of what could and/or should define a person. And judging from your statement, it's something you feel very strongly about.

However, different people have different expectations and goals in life. It's one thing to have a strong belief about something, it's another to try and impose that belief on everyone else around you because you feel it is 'correct'.

You sir have absolutely no clue about NBA Basketball ...

I took them a while back at 41-1 to win it all and they are 26-1 now. If they get into the west. finals I can surebet with the other teams and Im going to be in the green
They are fearless man. Havent you watched last years Playofffs? They are even better this year I believe...

Well that said miami is going to win it all this year or I would seriously consider quitting the NBA

So now I have enough of a roll to banish myself from 10/20 ring games no ante. Same deal as before, 1000 to first person to catch me. I guess I'll take the bounty off 5/10.

what was it that one ****** said?

OK, that's all good, but how am I a ******?

PS. Banning yourself from 10/20 (no antes) while you're at the 200/400 tables is just so LOL

...i watch 1-2 NBA games everyday, i've seen them play a few times and just can't see them going too far against the competition in west.

41-1 odds are nice but going all the way seems a tad rocky for that team.

i mean, you give off the impression this is your life roll you're gambling with aka urubu when the truth is you've partitioned your poker roll and life roll fairly succinctly, right? this is why people are accusing you of being degen. as i understand it, all you want to do is avoid redepositing?

ahhh because I'm out to prove a point that variance doesn't exist in the games, and all the 50 tablers moaning about their EV graphs annoy me (partially the reason I ran up this roll, no i dont have HEM)

I will hopefully prove my point further by continuing not losing

Oh lol didn't realise that's what was assumed... I *guess* that makes sense, tho even then I still encourage ultra aggro bankroll management, I adopt the same strat I did in NL, when it WAS my life roll. Obv this is way different if you have real life responsibilities. figured most people knew I had more than 40k to my name... correct re. redepositing

The only point you are proving here is that you have no clue about variance and that you ran super hot most if not all of your career. Nice level tho.

If one can reach greatness in something, they have the tools to be great at anything. Yes, you could say a chess player may never be able to become a world class sprinter (and be correct in most cases), but you would be missing the point.

John Wooden's Pyramid of Success is a brilliant work that I really respect. John Wooden is a personal hero of mine so I am definitely bias to him but I honestly believe that if I were completely objective I would still think he has done an excellent job in his life long attempt to define success and how to achieve it. You can run take a look at his pyramid of success here:

http://www.coachwooden.com/index2.html (click on this link, continue to his page, and look for the (pyramid of success tab at the top)

Finally, people are, at least to some extent, a product of their environment. If everyone in the world achieved success and greatness (it's not a zero-sum game if you measure greatness and success differently than just using a standard scale of comparison) then I believe it would have a tremendously positive impact on society. The more examples of excellence there are in society the more likely it is that the rest of society becomes excellent at what they do as well, for example parenting. I guess if the majority of society were criminals and unethical people with a desire to ruin society making them more successful at things would be bad but I don't believe that is the case.

I really took a lot of words to not explain myself very well so maybe just go through the link I gave and you and try to understand what would give a person my perspective.
