I guess I am the rare person that wants Durrr to win! LOL Something about his arrogance and confidence that seems funny! But, he does put his money where his mouth is! Maybe it is similar to why I like Phil H.

Or Maybe it's because you're a weirdo too.

No, I am not weird. Actually, I am very normal...everyone else is weird! The sun may revolve around some people, but in the end, the universe revolves around me! LMAO!!!! (but yes, people that don't know me would say I am very weird...people that do know me, they would agree 100%!)

Phil H. might be an ass but he is in the poker scene for quite a bit and won enough to show he deserves to be on the top poker player list ( at least in nlh )

Tom is just a new up an comer net super star with his own approach of the game ( kind of like Gus few years back, for the " own approcach of the game" part ). I don t think Tom ( or anybody else ) should be consider a top poker player or should be compare to top poker players ( like you did with Phil ) before they show they can play at the top level for a while.

When I hear people comparing those new extremely talented up and comers to players like Doyle, Daniel or Barry for exemple it makes me sick to my stomach.

That being said I wish only the best to Tom.

I agree 100% with not comparing them. This drives me crazy. Same thing with people that compare Obama to Lincoln or etc. Someone should have to prove themselves, not over one day, week, or year. Instead, it needs to be a dynasty. Win 15 bracelets, play the best of the best for 10 years and still be winning...then I will say you are a great.

I can like someone before they have proven themselves. You will never hearing me call him one of the best! I think he is far from it...for right now atleast. Time will only tell if he can ever gain that honor! But, I do like his style a little. (even though it is the exact opposite of me)

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

Don't get mad that you lost, get mad because you didn't win.

Hmm .. now I'm not really into Omaha, but shouldn't his 2 pair be fairly easy to let go on a board like this?

he probably didnt put ivey on the nut flush and tried to push him off his hand. FAIL!

on a board like that it's actually easier than on a 3spade board, since there is one less possible spade in his hand.

I need a girlfriend who loves me for my money... and is pretty bad with math.
