I decided to play four 25 cent, 45 man sng's 2nite at the same time. I had been having a bad nite, losing all 4 entries on the daily dollar, one after another, cuz i tilted after losing 1st one by a bad beat. I usually place in the money in the DD, but lost all 4 cuz of tilt. I took a few minutes to calm down, then entered the 4 sng's. 1st, my q-q is knocked out by 8-8. The next 2, I was ahead pre and post flop, only to get knocked out on turn after the money went into the pot. Could've easily gone on tilt again, but I had already prepared myself for sumthing like that to happen again when I took the break. I grinded the last one out and won 1st place. Gotta watch out for tilt, it'll sneak up on ya.

the post was about not lettin tilt get the best of u. not everybody can afford 2 play the higher stakes tables like u. i am surprised that an obvious poker pro like yourself would even have time 2 reply 2 my post, when u should be so busy spending all that money that you must be winning at those high stake tables. especially since $200-300 over there in lithuania is about $1000 over here. there's a lot of cool ppl in this forum that i like interacting with, but there's also quite a few poker snobs like u, which is why i don't spend more time here.

i didn't say that he did. he was making fun of the fact that i seemed so happy 2 win that small tourney, so i said not everybody can play at the higher stakes like the highroller that he must be.

The thread is fine. Is everybody on edge tonight or what. Haven't read so many threads as tonight where individuals are taking things wrong. Good Thread gtrippp, nothing bad about mazas reply. Seems like everyones on edge in BRM tonight! Maybe we should all go to bed wake up on the right side. Once again! Probably none of my business, but enjoy reading the BRM threads, not disputes, arguements or put downs. LOL at it all!

yup that's right.i don't think that's what mazas meant.
anyway, congrats on the finish and yep, watch out for that tilt...a win is a win. low or high stakes, it doesn't matter..hopefully more wins in the future for you

Huh? Cool story bro..... Why are you writing something like this? If you want to write about your achievements just create a blog or something. There you can write everything what you want. Izi~
p.s I think mazas was trying to be nice not rude IMO.

i definitely apologize if i misunderstood what he was saying but "it seems u are so happy and i think it's the biggest tourney u've ever won", then saying he wishes me luck in a "normal buy-in" tourney sure sounds like he's talkin down 2 me. i am quite possible of being wrong and, if so, i am sorry.

yeah, it sound's like he's talking down on you..but again, i'm pretty sure he meant well.a lot of our members here doesn't use english as their first language so sometimes what they really meant may be off from what they post.
anyway, goodluck at the tables..hope to hear more victories from you buddy
