I developed a reputation from these games and this style, and because of that reputation I've been invited to play 10 handed against lawyers, businessman, doctors, priests, accountants and professors at higher stakes.
LOL you terrible snob!
no, just an arrogant 20-something kid who thinks he will never die. you know, the kind countries make sure the send into wars first.

i mean, he has a chart, so how can he fail? doctors, lawyers, THAT PLAY POKER, cant be smarter or more experienced, can they?

ahhhh, the good ole days. i remember them so well.
I served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and there's nothing more hypocritical than calling me arrogant and then turning around and denigrating the men and women that volunteer to put themselves in harm's way so you don't have to. How can you fault me for making assumptions about people's characters based on their professions (and at least I was trained to do it as an interrogator) and then have the gall to do the same thing to people who should be revered for what they do?

At what point did I de-value these individuals based on their professions? I drew assumptions based on observations, I didn't discount that I am going to be playing against people that play at these stakes on a regular basis nor the need to adjust my play once I arrive. But until I arrive, it's all I have to go on. If I were arrogant, I would just go in there with out asking for help or preparing, but I realize that I need to change the way that I play in order to deal with people that may/may not be better than me and a 10 max table.

So unless you have something constructive to add, get back under the bridge.
dude, chill. i did not insult you or your "bravery." i could go into a big pissing match with you about your stereotypes, and that you may as well called them black, women, and gay people that you were playing with, but that would be exaggerating a bit.

i will tell you to save your Jack Nicholson-"people who sleep under the very blanket of freedom i provide and question the manner in which i provide it...i would rather you say 'thank you' and go about your way...either way i dont give DAMN about what you think you are entitled to" speech for someone else. (from the movie, A Few Good Men, btw)

i was merely being sarcastic. you know, humor?

and if you, as an interrogator, paid attention to the post/response, you would have seen that i, too, admitted to being arrogant.

geez, dude, get a grip. but, fwiw, and i should have mentioned this in the first response...i think all of us here hope/expect you to go in there and KICK THE SHIT out of those other guys. after all, you are an FTR'r now. this can be a highly sarcastic forum, full of humor, not jackasses. dont let us down.
