I am sure you thought that this was a joke as you probably only encounter super fish. In mtt's over $33 however, there are imo over 200 super solid players. It is tough to ascend the ranks with so many sharks compared to the small traffic onmerge. I was looking at Poker Maximus, and I saw over 50 super sick sharks. The guy 1Troy1 who plays and has over 100,000k this year already is actually somewhat weak compared to some of the beasts who only play sporadically. The fact that multiple players in the Poker Maximus series are going deep super deep in a high % of mtt's played proves they are a major cut above the rest. I only hope 1 day I can absolutely tear it up like these guys. I saw even today that the top 50 in major PM5 mtt's have the same people like Bearmule, Bodybagzz, BeachandBong, JvForbing, Saramar, AAtopshotAA, and a few other super sick players all making deep runs in over two majors today. It just goes to show that in a well structured tournament the elite cream of the cream rises to the top. I hope I attain that level of PAWNAGE in the next year. I wanna be the absolute best here and I know from standardized testing that I mentally have what it takes. I however will have to put in some serious volume and studying; as well as use solid BRM. BRM and not tilting are IMO the only two things that are holding me back. I am inspired by these aforementioned players.... they are truly a cut or two above even some of the top ranked players on Merge OPR LB. I don't know if I inspired anyone else, but I am even more psyched about putting in more volume and absolutely crushing PO FR's this , month and probably next month as well. Take care friends.... If in the future you care to stake me on either BCP/JS/PokerHost LMK. I am ready to play a ton of poker now that school is out. Ricky Bobby said it best, " If you aren't first you're last"
