and i love people calling me down "just to see." they are the source of all my LONG-TERM winning, and yours, too.
True, kinda forgot about that part which i do like as long as they dont river me in the process.

I find though if i move down stakes sometimes i dont play as well and aren't as focused. I think my subconcious tells me since im playing worse players i dont have to work as hard. Something to work on for sure. I'm super competitive as well and if i move up in stakes i badly want to dominate just as much as I did on the lower stakes so i try harder and really evaluate my play which in turn makes me a better player.
