I'm a rude prick !!?

I was simply curious to know how A-Mak did results wise after receiving a butt load of help,stake, lessons etc. Not trying to be harsh, just trying to be real. I am not here to be friends with everyone and make everyone feel good. I just want to know what his results were, if he was able to capitalize on an unbelieavable opportunity from Daniel etc.Life is harsh and maybe A-Mak just sucks at poker

Jealous of the opportunity he had?

[Bencoast1138]

dude...I agree, hes totally jealous. You come to Daniel's site and say that his protege maybe sucks at poker? Appreantly Mr. Negreanu thought otherwise. Uncool in my book. Kick butt A-Mak

Has A-Mak faded back into the nameless/faceless abyss of Asian obscurity?

A Mak must have been truly so good that basically DN taught him next to nothing.I had asked A Mak at various times up until just before the wsop and seriously, no real sit-down time could be detected (I could be wrong).Any elaboration or commentary from DN on this, and re his philosophy with proteges would be helpful.Heck, it could have been a busy time where DN was just needing to relax and golf, who knows.I know if I were the protege I'd be pestering DN so much that he'd grow tired of me... ha ha... but I'd beat him heads up any time.... for napkins, and I'm talking serious napkins! not the cheap kind, that would be cruel.As for Asian obscurity, what's that? Haven't you seen A-Mak in all the Canadian beer commercials lately? He's getting all the pale chicks! Woo hoo! Go A-Mak!

Yeah, I'm still lurking around...though once in a blue moon someone at the casino will recognize me which I think is pretty neat. It's better if no one at the table knows me though.For those interested, I got a job recently! So weekdays now comprise of commuting, working, eating, and then sleeping. Not much time for anything else. Internet and TV time has gone down though I found video gaming to go up...On weekends I've been going to the casino lately and basically just catching up on sleep and rest.I've also played in two small live buy-in tournies with my new found wealth. Well they are actually quite high for me, but I tell myself I can spoil myself since I found a job. :)My first tourney, I think I played really well, didn't think I made any major mistakes, had an average stack, then had a bad beat for all my chips.My second tourney, I played poorly in the beginning, sucked out, and from there played ok/good but made a few mistakes. I certainly caught the right hands/flops at the right time though. So in essence, I got lucky. I managed to cash but they withheld 30% of my winnings (this was at a US casino). So has anyone (anyone being Canadians) had the winnings withheld and get it back? If so could you outline the process?

Good to hear from you and nice to hear you found employment. Is MATH involved? , lol.Continued success to you in life and poker. Maybe see you around again sometime, next years WSOP?
