5 trophies in a row, that's what we are playing for bud. There's no way to prove that a player is better than another with all of the ambiguity of the game, so I'm focusing on the tangible things that are real and not disputable.

Yea, there is. I'd say Icecold only catching 48% of his targets make him a pretty average WR. But then again, I know you're just trolling so I really don't care.

So? This isn't a thread analyzing teams. So his team is good and winning, that's great, but also irrelevant. I'm just participating in a discussion between me and some guy who made a claim that somehow Ball$ was better than Ice. Do you have any more irrelevant junk or banter or guarantees, I mean jokes that look like guarantees that you want to spout off about? Go back to spending your time pretending that you are some great poker player.


One, I never said that Ball$ was better than Ice Cold.

Two, I'm probably one of the few people in the world who can say that poker is their only source of income. I might not be great, but I'm definitely way above average. There's no pretending about it, I can actually back it up with verifiable financial records and published articles in numerous poker publications unlike most people that say they can play poker.

Three, I'd much rather win than pad stats. If padding stats was important, I could probably force the ball to Ball$ Deep and have him right up there with Ice, but to me the point of playing a game is to win it, not to look purty. I know that's something you don't know much about, so keep deluding yourself with your pathetic excuses.

Four, why aren't you creating threads bragging about this trophy he's going to win for the 2nd year in a row?

One, not sure what you are even talking about. No you didn't say that guy was better, but you chimed in on my comment regarding that subject and offered a counterpoint to what I was talking about that had to do with how good the player was w/respect to Ball$ which is what we were discussing in that quoted section. So YOU chose to jump on his side with a rebuttal that supported his argument in that very clear conversation.

2-4... thought that I created threads for those other years or if not I posted about them w/in other threads, don't know the exact answer offhand. I've also had a time in my life where poker was the majority of my income, as I chose to play poker professionally too at one time. That's not amazing or noteworthy as a skill like you seem to keep non-chalantly boasting about like as if we are supposed to be impressed with you like as if you are some A-list celebrity, lots of people do it and a shitload of people COULD do it if they really went for it and studied the game, it's not rocket science. I don't play for a living anymore because I find the poker lifestyle to be boring and unsatisfying/unrewarding to me, as I'm just not passionate about my poker as I am in other areas that I work in presently and some that I want to migrate to in the future.

And TSE, I don't think I've ever bragged, chalantly or non-chalantly, about my poker playing. I know I'm not the best in the world but I have a good understanding of the game and am very good at bankroll management so I never go broke, this is more than most poker professionals can say or do. If this is bragging, then I guess I am a braggart.

I will say, however, you're fooling yourself if you think it's easy to do for a living. There are countless people who try and go broke and not many who can do it for more than several years. With the plethora of poker literature out there in recent years, it has become a much harder game to make a living at.

Pffft, that is a ridiculous thing to say. Really? It's that much harder because of the poker literature?? LOL that's a good one. Sure more literature has SOME impact, but there are lots of other reasons that would make a poker career a harder living than RECENT poker literature which there has always been lots of that. The growth of the game and number of players involved are a much bigger factor. I don't think you really know what you are talking about if you actually think the LITERATURE is an element of significance in a debate about how hard it is to make a living at the game. That's just a joke, but a good laugh nonetheless.

ROTFLMAO at this With the plethora of poker literature out there in recent years LOL

I should have said "with the plethora of poker literature and the ability to play limitless hands on the Internet to gain invaluable experience."

I'll go back to letting you pat yourself on the back for your great WR now TSE. As usual, I'm done trying to have a conversation with you, it's like trying to have a chat with a brick wall - one sided. You're always right TSE... well done.

It's not that I'm ALWAYS right, it's just that I don't waste my time taking on or defending WRONG positions in conversation very often. It's an acquired skill and not an easy one for most to master.

And if you are done having a conversation with me well that's your choice, but it wasn't my choice to say something so funny, how could I help myself, you just set yourself up to be such a butt of the joke. You walked right into that one.

Also, FWIW I tried to be friendly with you, I don't hold anything personal against you the same way you appear to hold things against me. I even tried to reach out to you during the WSOP, I was going to send you a PM to see if you wanted to meet up and hang out while I was in Vegas and play some poker, but you had me on ignore. I was like oh ok, well if that's how he feels, and if he feels so strongly that he doesn't want to even hear me say anything to him no matter what it is then I guess that's just how it is. I'm a guy that likes to build bridges with people, not invent obstacles. Oh well, your loss more than mine, cause I'm SURE I would have been able to show you some poker tricks that you could have learned from to make even more money!

I forgot I had you on ignore, I did that back that one season when you were irritating me lol - I removed that. If you're ever in Vegas, shoot me a note, I don't hold anything personal against you either, just don't agree with you on here, but this is just one small, tiny aspect of life and it wouldn't surprise me if we actually had a good conversation removed from GLB.

What would you know about the subject? Your a guy that condemned my strategy guide w/o ever having seen it and experiencing the service. Sounds to me like a person who is incapable of dealing with the "getting informed" portion of making an informed judgment on something. Maybe you should be a judge one day and just sentence people to jail w/o ever bothering to look at the evidence.
