Nice write up. Well done for going back and apologizing to the table. Classy move

WP with 78s on the q-j-6 board. I'm sure your backers love hearing hands where you float OOP with ~0 equity.

i think it's standard to be that upset right after losing a hand like that and showing emotion. takes a lot of class and maturity to go back to the table after settling down and realizing your mistake. i commend you for that.

great read so far, thanks for sharing.

Must be a troll or level right? I'm pretty sure backers don't want to hear how we just c/f every time we miss, and do want to hear us admit we made a move that might not have been great (and his read, that Grizzle had missed, was correct), rather than that we claim to have played every single hand perfectly?

Amazing slideshow. Why can't I get my pictures to look like that when I go on trips? Teach me how to use a camera please.

Let me put it this way... if poker is a "job" as it is to many people on here, reacting that way in an office environment would get you fired or at least a written warning, apology or not. Just because poker is not held in an office environment does not for one minute excuse this type of behaviour.

If I was backing you and you DIDN'T show any emotion/get upset / curse after getting 2 outed like that at the FT it would concern me.

f the haters.

Why even apologize? **** everyone.

Nice meeting you, gl and wish you continued success.

Also, pretty easy shove with 8high vs sam grizzle
