So seriously, even if it is just a hobby, get on the fucking ball. Know what I mean?

You want to be a teacher in the future, right?
Adopt a more pro-active tone.

This is the type of response I would expect from someone with your lack of work ethic.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Note the bold part. You obviously fit the criteria for not entering.
Plus what is your reasoning for bumping thread with negative and useless information?? Be honest.

Dwarf, I never bagged on you when the shit was going down and I wasn't rooting for you to leave or anything. You made a few mistakes, but none concerned me, therefore I felt I didn't have any say in the matter. But to continually come back attempting to start shit does nothing but make things worth. Seems you just want to be in the spotlight, and quite frankly if that's the case I will join the growing list of people that will ignore you. If it isn't the case, then begin to add to topics, and I (maybe just I) won't have a problem with you being here.
