I've had people in this very thread give me all forms of advice and encouragement, from simply declaring that they care and are rooting for me, to advice about how to ensure that I continue my development, to suggestions about how to avoid this disaster in the future, and testimonials regarding how easy it is for this to happen. I got a phone call in the middle of Thanksgiving from someone I've spent a single weekend with in my entire life just checking in and offering a pep talk.

Thank you to everyone. This sounds kind of pathetic that support from an online message board could mean so much to me, but when you feel you have none whatsoever an immediate and intense show of it makes all the difference in the world.
PJ- I'm begining to think that winning poker players aren't such a bad lot after all.

Kirby,
What's the use of being precise when you don't know what you're talking about?

Kirby,
Great job keeping your grand predictions and sad confessions brief because what's the use of being precise when you don't know what you're talking about?

Kirby knows more about how to both play this game and be a professional than any of you. Not to mention he is infinitely more qualified to talk on this subject than you are to comment on how Max is going to play a $200/$400 hand. You are way out of your league here.

We were talking to the Kirby who posts here. And who blames you for posting on his account. Unless it's really you blaming the fictitious Kirby for posting on your account. Any way you slice it, there is no professionalism in your, er, I mean Kirby's posts.

There is a basic misunderstanding in those posts. People who play worse at the pokers are sometimes far smarter, accomplished, and happier, and the little dribs of money they leave at the table are so small to be meaningless to their lives, while being everything to the full time poker pro.

I am not Kirby, although I wish I played as well as he does. You have no clue what you are talking about. Do not comment on something that you know nothing about.

I'm sure he's a good player and a professional guy, but...

I guess you know enough about <5% of the people on the board to know that. I might be wrong, but to me it seems tons more likely that you are biased in favor of your friend Kirby than it is likely that Kirby actually is both a better player and more professional than 100% of the people posting on this board.

Classy. Is this "professionalism" at work?

You are misunderstanding what the word "professionalism" means in this instance, which I suppose should not come as a surprise to me given that you clearly are not that sharp. But even if you weren't misunderstanding the word, the answer to your question would be "no". This is not professionalism, it is simply me inviting you to wrap your lips around a loaded gun and fire a bullet into your mouth.

I am actually quite sharp. You, on the other hand, are a classless troll. Hint: neither your pithy one liners nor your aggressive pleas for me to commit suicide will change the fact that you will never beat me.

You are finally right about one thing, for I cannot beat someone who won't play me.


I wish you the best of luck in your poker career.

You are welcome to reveal your screen name. Until that time and I'll gladly confirm your assertion. Until then, you're probably wrong.


Merry Christmas.

Okay, I owe you an apology. He didn't say you posted on his account, he said he was being blamed for a mystery post that he thought was made by you.

I rarely post and when I do it is seldom more than one sentence. Suddenly I become long-winded and make multiple posts in a single day? This is clearly the work of Pokerbob.

How is that not blatantly obvious to the person who is supposed to be moderating what goes on here? I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised that you blew this one given that the problem solving skills in play here are also used to read limit hold'em hands. (The implication here being that you suck at limit hold'em). It's apparent that you like to take your 2+2 moderator duties way too seriously, but if you're going to be a zealot at least be an accurate one. **** you.

It basically says what the SamBowie gimmick said. And you deleted it before posting under SamBowie. And the SamBowie ip address is the same as Kirby99's. Yes, it's possible PokerBob wrote them both on your account, but that's the account that made the gimmick and the post I undeleted and linked up there. If you have a problem with it, take it up with PokerBob if that's who you're accusing.
At least I wasn't too far wrong.

Please don't lecture on professionalism when it clearly doesn't apply to Kirby or you on this forum. This is a "professional" forum, people post so they can learn to make more money. Telling a moderator **** you or another member to commit suicide in a graphic manner isn't professional, it's childish. And over what? A reaction to someone who holds a different opinion than you?

You and Kirby might be good players when on the felt, but man do you tilt easily on this forum. You insult almost without provocation. You burn bridges before you know their value. It's not only unprofessional, it's bad meta-game.

I'm going to wind down my lecture now, my guess is that you both are going through things that I'm not aware of and probably would make me much more understanding of your behavior if I knew them. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel brother, and in time it will get better. Don't alienate friends and family when things are bad, they not only can help sustain you during awful times but good times are even better when you have friends to share them with.

Friends and family??? What the hell are you talking about??? This is just a stupid poker forum where dorks post bad poker advice and try to out-dork one another with their stories of strippers, drugs and poor gambling decisions. Anyone who views 2+2 as anything beyond that, much less as "friends and family", needs to get it fixed.

Sick ability to hide ego brag in this post.

I find it hard to believe that your neediness and temper doesn't affect your non-cyber relationships too.

Just because your mind cannot fathom it doesn't make it untrue.

Monoprice is the nuts. If you're paying more than $15 for an HDMI chord you're playing to much.

The information either gets there or it doesn't.
