Well I have to say that I showed some of these "issues" on the way to my first WSOP bracelet this year! I get very involved at times and I am sure I have people that do not like some of my table talk or actions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am ultra competitive, I must win, I have to use everything I know to win (I will never cheat).
I try never to get personal, but at times it happens!
After a comp I will always be the 1st person to buy you a beer, but in the heat of the action all is fair in love and war (w/in the rules)
I yelled, ran around tables, asked a guy "who's your daddy now", but I also had a beer w/ John Gale after the "war" was over and I expect to have dinner w/ John and his wife while in London. It is a competitive thing this poker, if you are happy w/ your own behavior at the end od the day that is all that matters to me!
How cockey can I be? I had WSOPin05, and I just took WSOPin06 because I will go back and repeat again next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you dont like it you can always take up sewing or basket weaving so you dont get your poor feelings hurt!!!!
I guess its a case by case thing when you are at the table in the heat of the moment. You will understand more after my event aires on ESPN in Sept.
