The attack on @GmanPoker right now is out of control. He has one of the absolute best track records. He's always been kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. This was a horrible situation where he felt he was cheated. Absurd how quickly people can turn on one of poker's great heros.

Nothing is more annoying than when people brag about how much money they make. There will always be someone making twice as much money as you, and in my case it’s Jeff Bezos. Fuck that guy.

I strongly dislike how nowadays people avoid any personal responsibility for mistakes. You're fat? Must be genetics You lied? Double down or pretend it never happened You failed? The system was rigged It's ok to make mistakes or fail. It's also ok that it was because of YOU.
