he had taken a break from poker, but that doesn't mean he didn't remain an extremely strong player for many others. His professionalism is obvious and in a few years he will be an option for the poker hall of fame.

this player could make a film that will be successful if it is made by capable people. His poker life can be told and presented through cinematography, so that we can enjoy with an interesting film.

I always like to see the best players play, and this one in particular is a great player, I always learn a lot from him every day, sometimes I see him in cash tables with more than 200k stack, someday we can reach his level.

Having the right mindset is too important factor in the game , if you want to play your A game in a poker game , a tourney especially . And like Jungleman says ,never underestimate your opponents , even when they are worse than you . But I would also add never overestimate them , even if they are very good , as then you will fall victim to their skillfull bluffs in hands that you should win .
