He seems like he'd be a fun dude to hangout with outside of the poker room. Any stories about you and Mike hanging out (that can be told). Thanks.

Where do you rank Mike among live NLHE tournament players? Top-10/25/100/...?

Where would he be if he would always play his A-game?

He treats his friends really good and is very trusting. Too trusting sometimes. He likes to talk, a lot, obviously, and has loads of opinions on poker.

When he tries really hard and focuses he can be very patient. He stays steady and doesn't give his chips away. He is better when he plays shorter sessions because he can focus the whole time.

Top 100 for sure, when he is playing his A game he is top 25 I think.

He plays long sessions and he sometimes has a narrow view of what "good poker" is and often compares is best game to his opponents worst game when game selecting.

Meh, he's a bit of a sloppy drunk!!! He doesn't drink that much and has a low tolerance for alcohol.

I don't remember the first time we met, but it had to be sometime back in the days when I was pl;aying $20-$40 and $40-$80 limit hold'em. He used to play those games too sometimes.

Oh gosh, "poker fame" that's kind of funny. Vegas chicks like money.

That's an interesting leak I've never heard put that way before.
