well this is true for a majority of the rhinowned crew. I mean, im pretty sure you could live alot larger if you wanted but you are probably smarter with your money. I dont see how blowing tons of money on partying and stripclubs could ever be someting to be genuinely envious of, especially if you actually have money.

owell, enough derailing, this thread isnt going anywhere unless myth wants to comment imo. gg

SO FAYTH DESERVES IT BECAUSE HE GRINDS CASH ONLINE AND FLIES IN TO WSOP MAIN EVENT FOR ONE TOURNAMENT

MYTH DOESNT DESERVE IT CUZ HES ONLY PLAYED EVERY LIVE TOURNAMENT FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS AND DOESNT GRIND HARD ONLINE YET HAS THE NERVE TO COACH AND THINKS HES GOOD ENOUGH CUZ HE PLAYS LIVE MAJORS

of course you can deserve a win in poker more than someone else. Phil Ivey deserves to win another bracelet more than jamie gold would u agree?

Someone being warned on LP someone alert the press!

so what if it was ivey vs cada hu for main event

ivey is obv vastly superior but cada then owns him and gets it in and ivey hits a 3 outter

cada obviously deserves that if it happened

the simple fact that you can have those habits show how fortunate you are and have gotten, and the fact that you're irritated simply shows how much of an ungrateful prick you are about your life. sure you haven't been lucky in the past couple of years, boo-fucking-hoo. you are a huge lucksack, and i don't envy you one fucking second for it just by looking at how you act. you're the one who's completely clueless.

since you are so results oriented and can't look at the big picture i'm trying to paint let me offer you this reminder of your yearly recap of 2008:

all i'm saying is that I (and many others) didn't have that luck you had at that moment. you didn't have to put nearly as much effort as we had to because you were financially comfortable. comfortable enough to be extravagant. you can cower behind the idea that you're a better player than me all you want it doesn't change that fact.

no, he deserves it because he's better and he's worked harder. you can replace "poker" with "life" in the "deserve? in poker?" thing you laid out and see if you still think the same, because it is the exact same thing.

edit: and i'm obviously not saying myth wouldn't deserve it at all. i know that's how it sounded and i apologize, those are my feelings because i don't really respect him as a person, not because i believe he doesn't deserve any success because he's not working hard. fact of the matter is i don't know how hard he's working. i do know that he would have to work much harder if he hadn't been as fortunate, though.

Rich guys in Korea pay pretty girls $100 to pour them drinks for 5 minutes every hour. People in Vegas pay girls 20 for a 3 minute lap dance.

Do they deserve it?

what has myth accomplished in live except that 80k cash prize
i don't remember him winning anything

if you post this on 2+2, you would hear much much more negative comments.

you guys are defending him because this guys a mod, your friend

no, i couldn't do it. you're not aware of my living situation at all. but you're right, it's not something i would ever want to do, i'm not envious of it one second. if i had been this fortunate i would've taken the same road you did. quit and pursue studies with some investments on the side. that's how i feel would be the best possible life i could live right now, as far as those things are concerned.

and also, fuck it. let me rant on this: anybody who thinks that "nothing matters" doesn't deserve to have anything good going for him in life. this is taken from corwin's facebook status for those who're wondering. everyone who truly feels like this is just a shitty human being, as baal would put it. it's as simply as that. i know you think you're really enlightened and stoical with the pseudo-nihilist philosophy of life but you're a bunch of idiots and i hope you realize it at some point in your lives.

i am so grateful for my life but i dont for one second think im just a lucksack given all the effort i have put into this game

how and why are u calling me a huge lucksack wtf. if u are referencing my poker skill fine that's your opinion, but wtf? we both have the same life, just a different variation and different life choices. you had JUST AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES AS I DID


god damnit man

before my mother fucking wpt ft and ftops 2nd place i was -100k to peachy, in small debt to my friends and pretty much broke. i road out this status for a really long time until i finally binked the inevitable.

now im broke again because i continued the same patterns and hit a retarded bout of negative variance in

the ONLY thing i regret about the last 3 years is not grinding cash games on the side in order to maintain my life style. i def. do not regret the money i spent or the life choices i made


but what the fuck about my post about peachy? who the fuck cares. i was sick grateful that he staked me and if he didnt wind up staking me i would have easily found a different backer. i meant it, if it wasnt for him (or w/e backer i did a deal with) i would not have made that money because at that time in my life online cash grind was simply NOT going to happen regardless of my financial status

and ur right, boo fucking hoo that i havent won anything since 2009, it sure does suck but yeah, i should have made lots of $ in cash games


i just cant believe u keep calling me ungrateful for my life and a huge lucksack. i def. think i put in enough of a sample size to justify my results (prior to my epic live downswing)

i am obviously grateful for my life... ur quote from long ago proved it wtf

the ONLY thing i have been irriated with or a prick about is your fucking peice of shit assumptions about our lives and our poker careers


i have too many tournament tables running right now to really give an organized argument. i rly dont know what ur problem is with me but ur views on me and my life and my general attitude are completely wrong

Say you want to learn physics. You have two choices: Albert Einstein or the top rated high school teacher in the country. Einstein has two nobel prizes and is arguably the best physicist in the last century. The top rated high school teacher has never won a prestigious prize, let alone never published an article on theoretical physics.

You're brushing up on your calculus with Einstein, and is going over examples with you, and states d/dx(x^2)=2x. You say you don't understand.

He then writes: 2x=d/dx(x^2)

(This is supposedly a true story from when he was teaching freshman physics at princeton)

Now, the high school teacher explains how the derivative is the instantaneous slope, blah blah blah, and you get it.



Who do you pick for a teacher?

why are myth and i the same person? have you ever ONCE read me say "fuck it nothing matters?" i have very openly on these forums stated how much i care about my future and how my goal in like 5-8 years is to be married and have a family.


you continuously make assumptions about me or have the wrong idea about me and its really annoying please stop talking about me

Loco stop derailing this with deserving and fayth wtf O_o

jesus christ and how does us living our lives in a way u disagree with make us stupid?

if having that mentality and going out and blowing $ on what you perceive as fake things makes us happy then why the fuck wouldnt we do it? how does that affect our intelligence level? just because u have certain goals and priorities in your life doesnt mean everyone is exactly the same as you NOR does it make those goals and priorities the best ones in life

I would agree but FrinkX rage is entertaining.
