Just find a graph of someone's graph in the Challenge thread or on 2+2 somewhere. Believe it or not, I actually tried to find one for the last 10 min or so for you but now I'm giving up since I can't and just telling you to do it. But it's there.

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.

Hey Tanner. Just a few questions on the girl in your picture. Who is she and where can I see more of her?
